Watch, she's gonna get squashed by a returning Becky in 30s for the strap and Charlotte didn't want to do that job because she's going to be the first feud back.

He did the whole “tick tock” thing back in Lucha Underground but there it actually made sense since he was the White Rabbit and carried a pocket watch and whatnot

his gimmick is doomsday occultist so he just talks about the end of the world, apocalypse and the doomsday clock ticking down constantly

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Who would've predicted the Wednesday Night Wars would end via seppuku?

When me and my brother were kids we always joked "why do wrestlers brag how many times they been champion? If they had it 5 times that means they lost it 4 times!" We were just half serious but thats like 100% serious for Charlotte. Like the thing about Cena and Flair having that bragging right is that it wasn't going for a specific goal number, thats just how their career shook out organically (cena getting close to flair didnt come up til he was at like 14 or 15)

Also I guess Nikki being champ is cool in theory and all, but I distinctly recall being assured that she was supposed to be this inspirational pure babyface superhero gimmick that was for the kids, etc, etc. So how does that square with cashing in on an already half-dead opponent and basically stealing the title underhandedly?

Hilarious, and will never be mentioned on WWE TV.

Also, the idea of Nikki being confident after surviving 2 minutes matches with Charlotte and Rhea leading to her being champion hypothetically isn't the worst, but I'm now ready for the booking to go back to reading Nikki like she isn't a good winner who isn't on their level and the story sucking as a result.

Also, no Doudrop, we didn't get to find out what fans would chant at her (Viper, Piper, Doudrop, silence)
