In the first episode Nakamura caught Sasha when she went for a dive on him, then gently placed her on the apron. That’s the most they’ve allowed.


I think they should have Charlotte/Roode beat Asuka/Miz to have Charlotte get that win on Asuka going into Wrestlemania, but they’re not blowing the streak on a Facebook event. Streaks suuuuck.

I think Asuka's streak will probably last awhile longer. There is talk of moving Charlotte to RAW after Wrestlemania, as she will possibly be entering a program with Ronda around Summerslam time. I feel like they are going to move Asuka full time to Smackdown to actually provide a credible face/good worker at the top of the division. Sorry Becky!

On that note, while I can see Carmella cashing in and winning/breaking Asuka's streak, if that happens, I don't think her reign will last past Backlash. There is no upside to letting Carmella break the streak or hold onto the title since she is incredibly basic in the ring, and struggles to get any sort of reaction from the audience. And it's been that way since the Full Sail days.

Yeah, I’m sure it will. That’s why there’s no believability going into Wrestlemania.

Probably not a surprise but the current rumor is next Mania is the end of Asuka's streak when Ronda beats her for the belt

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

They did the 'other woman knocks Alexa off the apron' spot last week too, but given that she is a tiny human being and landed on Braun, I don't think that counts as violence.

Why does it always have to be a UFC meathead who beats the streak? It should be a real sports entertainer who has paid her dues, someone respected by the fans, media and the locker room. We all know who I mean...

The rumored rumor for wrestlemania is that Vince will show up one weeknight in the next few months and say the streak should end to have something exciting happen

Out of the blue this morning, an old friend of Daniel Bryan's told me that Daniel has been cleared to wrestle.

I really don't have the energy anymore for this story and IRL I am dealing with a fairly major family situation.

The same person was part of a circle of people who consistently said even up to this weekend that the Wrestlemania match was Sami/Owens vs Shane/Vince. Which always didn't really sound probable to me due to Vince's age and health.

I dunno what the point of this post is except watch Smackdown I guess?

Not even a scoop really just a lot of wrestling folk suddenly started talking like he's cleared. Including Meltzer's weird open of Wrestling Observer Radio today.

Personally, I expect a lot Bryan's friends going public on their concerns about him Wrestling again too.

Daniel Bryan being pissed about Shane getting his rear end kicked and joining him to make it Bryan/McMahon vs. Owens/Zayn makes a certain amount of sense.

Even more sense would be Bryan turning on and beating up Shane during said match :parrot:

Or they're doing this because AJ Styles is really injured and Daniel inserts himself in the title match somehow.

Whatever works. I feel bad because I don't think Bryan should wrestle anymore but I'm also pretty loving pumped that he'll be wrestling again now that he's actually cleared.
