Stephanie vs Rousey isn't the slated match for Wrestlemania or at least wasn't at the MYC taping. If Rousey feels comfortable working a singles match that will change. Her training is going well.

If Steph vs Rousey isn't the slated Wrestlemania match, does that still mean that the MYC winner is still up in the air since Baszler's win would be the best route to lead to that match?

Out of all of these potential directions I am dismayed by all of them. I'd be thrilled if it worked out and was great and everyone came out of it happy and wealthy, but it looks like another case of being gifted an easy story to tell and then totally loving it up in favor of telling a more convoluted and worse story in the worst way possible. I don't understand who the protagonists and antagonists are supposed to be in the HW feud. I know Ronda likes being heel but everyone will cheer her regardless. The only reliable heel is Stephanie McMahon. The best way for this to end is for Stephanie to go into the ring after the HW match at mania to bask in the glory and for both groups to cease hostilities toward one another and leave her laying.

4HW v. 4HW and Steph tapping to Ronda would both be cool as hell Mania options and if you don't think Steph would tap to Ronda you're a massive idiot. Some of y'all are the equivalent of the D&D brokebrains.

Call it a hunch but I don't think Ronda will be talking about these things on TV. You can know stuff about her being a gross person but it doesn't change the fact that the right booking move is for her to win. Wrestling is fiction.

If you want nothing but decent people with pure ideologies winning wrestling matches I have some bad bad bad bad bad news about everyone other than John Cena.

Everyone gets booked stupid eventually, better to have them get it over with than have to delay it and thus make it even worse when it finally does happen

Remember when they didn't get to break up the Shield within a year like they wanted, so they did it on a random Raw with no build and intentionally with no notice to the team they were breaking up

My current least favorite instance of this is Harper. They tried to split up the Wyatts permanently for forever and give each singles runs (that are of course just as doomed as the Wyatts but oh well), but it never worked because someone would always get hurt. Now when they finally do it fans start liking Harper lots. So of course Harper never gets booked again

ed: They're going to be idiots with everyone. Everyone. At least minimize the damage and let them do it ASAP.

Speaking of, who's ready for the Mania ending we could and should have gotten years ago with Brock losing the belt to Reigns

WWE will never seriously push him because he looks like a trashy hillbilly.

AJ Styles and Luke Harper legit fighting for no.1 Contender was the highest Harper's stock ever was and for a short while, I could dream of him main eventing Mania versus Bray Wyatt.

This of course went to poo poo when Orton was injected back in and beat Wyatt in like 5 minutes after a moronic, bad match. Similar to how Harper was booked, Wyatt went from beating Cena/Styles clean multiple times to eating poo poo immediately. poo poo like that was part of the reason I stopped watching altogether.

Now I'm remembering how great that last sequence in the Bray title win was, with Bray pinning Cena clean and Styles (as the last one left with Bray) shooting this amazing "Oh hell no" expression. They did a wonderful job pushing Bray as a monster for like five minutes
