They turned Nikki so that Steph wouldn't be wrestling and the feud could continue

:( Ignore what I said, I would rather watch Steph hoss through a match than a Nikki match.

I hope they call back to that time Nikki was super unsupportive when Brie wanted to make centrepieces for her wedding on Total Divas. Buys.

My main problem with Steph's match is she didn't take a page out of HHH's book and let us relive his glorious Wrestlemania entrance.

Oh god, a chainmail cloak, giant tiara and oiled up NXT guys falling in front of her so she never touches the floor between the stage and ring? That would've been AMAZING.

Oiled up NXT guys? Someone's taking this fantasy a bit too far...

Anyways... Nikki's horrible acting after that heel turn really took me out of it. She acted like she was forced to do it and looked sad. If they were going to turn her, I wanted a cackling Nikki raising Stephanie's hand all the way to the back. I suppose this is asking too much for of a Bella when it comes to acting.

Nikki's turn was solely to set up JBL saying Bryan is an adultering jerk who doesn't recognize his own wife during a Brie vs Nikki match.

Which was doubly weird because both Steph and Trips looked surprised, so I guess she did it of her own choosing?

Neither Bella can emote at all in the ring or in promos, they have the charisma of damp rags. And as typical of the women's division they're dreadful at wrestling. I was hoping Brie could go over and then we'd never have to see or hear of this on WWE TV ever again. Instead they made it worse, because the only person who could carry the angle at all, Stephanie, is now on the sideline.

Women's wrestling in WWE is always terrible to begin with, that's not news, but at least most of them have an iota of charisma. This on the other hand is going to be absolutely god-awful.

Steph should definitely not wrestle more, It was well hidden, but holy poo poo Stephanie was limited as hell.

It works every once in a while as a special event. But She would get exposed badly if she had to work matches regularly.

Her mobility makes Kevin Nash look like Daniel Bryan.

But enough about Roman Reigns.

That said I did love the match, I was expecting the worst, but they wrestled the exact match that they needed to, to hide both of their deficiencies.

Plus Trips loving sold a Brie Bella Baseball slide like death in this the year of our lord 2014.

While I agree, as much as I've been loving Steph, she is limited. But they've clearly made sure that she does those limited moves really well, which is the best thing to do with someone in that situation. She also has suddenly developed charisma, whether it's on the mic or in the ring. I'm not sure when it happened but it did. The problem with the feud now is that it's Nikki Vs Brie, and they're not as good or interesting as WWE seems to want them to be.

By itself Brie vs Nikki would suck. However I think it has potential as another branch of the Authority storyline with other people to play off of.

You've gotta sell that beating from last night. If he shows up on Raw tonight, even if he is on crutches or limps or is in a wheelchair or an iron lung, it takes a bit away from it. He has to be "in the hospital" tonight or something.

The best way for Cena to sell the beating he took last night would be to never appear on TV again.

They already bleeped out JBL's "Jesus Christ!" from the Network. There are also a few chucklefucks in the front row chanting "Borrrrring!" at that point in the match.

I am the sexiest poster in the world!
I liked the way they bleeped it on the Network and during the live broadcast: They leave in Jesus, but censor Christ. If you're gonna bleep it, do it in a way where we know what he said. I was just watching the SS Replay on the network, so unless they changed it to a full bleep since then that's how it is now.

I can't imagine Cena not being there in some capacity. Maybe the middle ground that makes PSP happy is a video sent in from Cena while he's at the hospital?

I could grudgingly accept this. However, if I had the book Cena would not appear on the live show tonight. Show all the clips you want, but he wouldn't be there live.

Cena's music hits and he walks out after the rapadoo, throwing his hands up, one of them with a mic. He goes to the ring and gives a 15 minute long serious-face I know everyone doesn't like me but I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna beat him, Jack! promo.

Counterpoint: Cena should come out in a wheelchair and start to tell the audience that although it'll be a long, hard road, he'll be back, and they should never give up. Then Brock kicks him off the ramp and as the medics scramble after him, Heyman cuts a 20 minute promo.
