MOTYC: You Are Cordially Invited

With no promotions running a bunch of wrestlers from the BritWres scene including a few familiar faces come together to create a cinematic match full of action, violence, surprises and wacky hijinks to create something quite weird yet wonderful. It's only 25 mins long and definitely worth your time.

WMOTYC: Charlotte Flair vs. Lacey Evans, WWE Raw, 1/11

It's sad that my attempt to stay caught up on the worst matches of the year so far has involved or will involve watching WWE women's matches.

Edit: Adding some more to avoid a double post:

WMOTYC: Charlotte Flair vs. Peyton Royce, WWE Raw 1/18
WMOTYC: Charlotte Flair, Dana Brooke & Mandy Rose vs. Lacey Evans, Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler, WWE Raw 1/25

HM: AJ Styles vs. Ricochet, WWE Raw 1/18

Flair-Royce is probably the best of the WMOTYCs I'm tossing out, but it's still around a half star and pretty dire at points. The six woman tag is just an absolute mess - Charlotte doesn't look good, and the finish is either botched or just completely awful.

Styles-Ricochet was pretty good, even wrapped in all of the stuff I hate about Raw in 2021 and the fact that Ricochet is a total joke.
