I gotta admit I'm popping for Fignuts being a badass submission machine in this thread.

She was 100% turning up her heel work toward the end. Started with the "No one is ready for Asuka!" stuff, and evolved into her just being a bitch to everyone, but backing it up.
Charlotte shouldn't have went over her at Mania in the same way Cena shouldn't have went over Rusev. |

Actually, I disagree there. Charlotte was always planned to be their top female talent and as such, she was the best choice to end the streak. I only wish they gave the match a few more minutes.

I think she deserves the spot shes in, and she should be one of the more dominant females on the roster, but they absolutely pushed too hard too often and its led to many having the same opinion as you. Understandable.

Also, hindsight is 20/20, but Asuka's return here would have had a lot more impact if Becky never got that win over her, and she remained the one person that becky couldnt beat.

I agree that they shouldn’t have given Becky a win against Asuka yet. But it’s not really important. They’re two talented women fighting for…reasons. It’s head and shoulders above any other women’s division out there. Who is going to hold a candle to them?

Yeah, i think I agree on cena/rusev. Not everything has to be built up to put some up and comer over. Sometimes you can just tell a good story. And the top babyface of the decade stepping up to take down rusev for MERICA' at the biggest stage of all is a pretty great story.
Plus it led to Cena's open challenge which was awesome. The problem was the complete and utter incompetence of how rusev was booked afterwards. They easily could have kept him strong until summerslam where he could win it back from cena. That would have been my plan. |

I dunno about spouting random English phrases, maybe I haven't seen enough... all I've heard her say in English is her usual "Nobody is ready for Asuka" thing. I can't possibly have proof as to new fan interest, but after pretty much ruining her after her debut and killing a lot of interest in her.... it took this pandemic and her dialing up the swagger to get people invested in her again. Could they have got people invested by just booking her strong again and not dialing up the swag? Yeah, probably. Both ways are good, I'm just happy she's around and there's another "top female star" to be had. |

Remember when Brazzers made a reference to being ready for Asuka and she liked it?

If you don’t count the 3rd hour though, it’s one-third less sad.

The go home show was a step up.
People are finding reasons to complain but it had something for everyone. I'm eager to see what they do with Piper and Nikki. With Rhodes on RAW, it would be interesting to see a temporary alliance between former Bullet Club members. Must losing wasn't a bad thing. The odds were stacked against him and if he had snuck a roll up victory, people would have another reason to complain. Why is the champion losing? |

Spoiler warning.
Doudrop & Nikki form a tag team based mostly on being Scottish. They go on a tear, win the womens tag belts, lose them, and have a feud. |

Either way, as long as they do a rendition of The Procliaimers “I’m Gonna Be (500 miles)” we’ll all be happy.

If they stick around, that’s a fair bet. Or they’ll split without feuding. Neither seems high profile enough to really justify that much airtime. Honestly, I can see both being released in the next wave of talent cuts.
