On a serious note, I would be shocked if Rhea lasts more than two months as champion before either Charlotte or Becky (if she returns) gets the title back.

I could see that happening and then her pivoting over to Smackdown to take that championship shortly after to set up a champion vs champion feud at next Mania.

For those of you not watching RAW (you are a stronger person than I), you missed out on one massive disaster of a match between Asuka and Rhea. Where Rhea got gassed like 5 minutes into the match and could barely do any power spots at all, to the point of where Asuka had to actively help her pull them off.

Some are trying to spin it off as bad chemistry, but Rhea just looked awful in every regard in the match tonight.

Rhea needed a better opponent tonight. I think Charlotte vs Rhea is really gonna help bring out her best

I know this is supposed to be a shitpost, but Charlotte vs Rhea might end up even worse, if just for the fact that since returning at TLC, Charlotte has been a complete trainwreck as well.

Why would it be a poo poo post? Rhea is the second greatest NXT women’s champion after Charlotte and their feud last year was best thing in the women’s division in 2020. Its a money feud that’s already established. And Asuka has been off for the last couple of months so much that even Rhea couldn’t get a good match out of her

they were all told explicitly there would be no raises.

Yeah I’m not sure how to reconcile this with the reports of Retribution + Keith Lee working on the main roster on relatively low pay NXT contracts.

I’d certainly believe Finn Balor and Adam Cole got new, good money deals but I wonder how far that went for the rest of the roster

It would really be helpful in my quest to make everyone in the world love The Fiend if the people writing this poo poo actually just stuck to one fiend-story with a beginning middle and end instead of getting about partway through almost telling a kinda scary story before rapidly switching to another one with no buildup or effort made to try and make it into a consistent narrative and they just keep doing it over and over.

Don’t worry, things will really ramp up this year when Jokerfied Charlotte teams up with Alexa to take on Fiend and Dark Randy
