I get what they're trying to say, but Edge was knocked the gently caress out at the time and had to be carried on top of Bryan so the idea what he has any claim to the title is just absurd.

how many times has WWE done the spot where the winner was knocked out but their friend came in and knocked out the other guy and dragged the winner on top of him for the pin

Was there also a third guy pinning both their shoulders to the mat?

I'm sure Diesel has some weird rear end rules in his contract about how they're allowed to shot him next to taller actors just like how his character can't lose any fights.

It is eating me up that Trips posted WE FIRED THE GUY and immediately wrestling Twitter fell all over him and is probably sending him another fruit basket. Ah yes, this one guy. He's the one who personally saw to every trash bag in the last decade. And the company had NO IDEA until Mickie brought it to light. But now that they're aware, they can get rid of Some Guy and make amends. It's the most blatant PR stunt and ya got SRS out there tap dancing for it. And I like Sean, but drat.

I really enjoyed all the people jumping to WWE's defense as mailing people's belongings trash bags wasn't a hosed up move.

I don't even like Nia Jax, and I cannot imagine I will ever particularly like Nia Jax, but giving her weeks upon weeks of "haha she fell down look at how stupid she is" as a gimmick, on the basis of someone completely unrelated having slipped once, is remarkably disrespectful to Nia Jax.

It's still a set up from her screaming about her hole.

My only opinion on Charlotte is that she's been the same boring character having the same boring storylines for years and for some reason she's touted as an all time great even though she's been surpassed by many of her contemporaries.

Charlotte Flair can't be Charlotte Flair without Ric Flair being somewhere nearby. WWE law.


Maybe she should instead don a mask and work with a far better wrestler. Slapjack, for instance.

She'd probably be more popular if she ditched the Ric Flair Tribute poo poo and was just her own person. Like back when she was in NXT and it wasn't so shoved in the audiences face.

I honestly thought I read the recap wrong. I'm sure I asked this before, but who is this never ending feud for?

To be honest I'd laugh pretty hard if they did these months of videos for her, then she had her last gimmick where she would come out to an elaborate intro, then make up an excuse and leave immediately without wrestling. Then get the old "Eva Marie has left the building" line.

After what how they handled Emma, Lana, Carmela and Liv this is 100% what's gonna happen.

Hey WWE isn't going backwards with the women. I mean sure 5 of them got fired so they could hire Eva Marie whose gimmick is "I'm hot" and the main women's story of Raw with Alexa is "bitches be crazy" but still..... diva's revolution.

Don't forget Alexa is also a grown woman dressing and acting like a preteen girl for some reason.

It says something that Rousey is an division-killing loss when she worked a total of 70 matces in a total career of 13 months, with 2 losses.


She debuted with Angle at WM34, and hasn't had a match since the triple threat with Becky and Charlotte on 4 August 2019.

I wonder if they thought for any second about actually building any women up to actual come off as a threat to her. Because at the time every woman aside from Nia and Charlotte was basically treated as a joke.

Both matches are gonna be less than 3 minutes and will probably involve Charlotte/Rhea either DQ'ing the other's matches or distracting them into fluke roll-up losses. This will be followed up next week by a tag team match between Charlotte/Rhea and Nikki/Asuka where either Charlotte or Rhea will attack their teammate and end the match with a DQ in less than 2 minutes.

Raw's creative team might as well be a copy machine at this point.

I just don't get why they brought Eva back, it's not like she was a star during her first run, it's not like she can wrestle, it's not like they don't already employ dozens of beautiful women. Her hair did look incredible, I'm not even gonna lie.
