Asuka should never lose the NXT Women's Title, she should vacate it when she gets called up to the main roster.

I always mix it up. So Jericho, Bray, and BRAUN are all heavy favorites? :stare:

Also Owens is staying on SD whether he's champion or not. They've outright said as such.

Have they? Everything I've heard when watching seemed to say that the champion will be on SD and the non-champion goes to RAW

Hasn't attendance and ratings been going down pretty consistently too? I mean sure it may not look bad initially because they have their hands in other pots but eventually people are going to get annoyed and go elsewhere.

I seem to recall at one point before the brand split they were doing two house show circuits (which is normal) and the one headlined by Reigns was practically getting lapped by the one headlined by Dean and it was hilarious. It only got worse when the split happened, I think. Wasn't there a RAW PPV that didn't even come close to selling out while the SmackDown PPV later that month had already done so?

The title has just been vacated. There is a big women's tournament tournament happening in the same time frame. It makes immediate sense to have that tournament be for the title. The "burying" is another instance of frustrated marks hiding behind smarky terms to make their fanboyism sound like analysis.

EDIT: in any instance I hope they don't use a battle royal. It's such a random and messy a match to determine a champ.

I'm an unapologetic mark for Peyton because she was hilarious and very entertaining in a match at the NXT house show we got last year. I'd love to see her get a short reign.

if they really want to boost ticket sales they should maybe not charge $75 (after fees) for upper deck in the corners. Those prices made sense when the PPVs were $50-60 but now they're $10 or free.

I personally don't care that much about Alexa as champ because she's booked to have no worthwhile foils/challenges. The main story there seems to be that Nia Jax is kind of desperately gullible to still be her lackey waiting for a title shot where Alexa will almost assuredly manipulate someone into aiding her into getting an advantage and then beating Jax. Except I guess she's gone now because of the booking?

On a very basic level I consider Jinder's title to be (a) attainable, (b) coveted, and (c) something Jinder actually fights for. Its a bad run and a bad champion but it does sorta feel like a championship run to me.

The way it feels to me Alexa's isn't attainable, Miz's isn't coveted, and Brock's isn't present and he doesn't have to do anything to keep it.

Nia is gone because she landed on her neck when she got powerbombed on the floor in the 5-way

I guess they're taping in Atlanta for a while now so maybe they're setting up a tag title match announcement for takeover at those tapings?

Yeah Rock hurt his shoulder in a match a few years ago that caused a production delay and his insurance doesn't allow it now.

So he would have to be on a break from filming anything, and that hasn't been the case for 10 years.

I thought he tore a groin muscle?

She could have been a lot worse. She seemed to genuinely laugh at a couple of Corey’s jokes too which made her come across as kinda normal. Weird, I know.

Not that it's really that different from normal but Corey was on fire last night. He's the one announcer WWE has that will actively increase my enjoyment of the product.
