So Sasha's Twitter spoiler was indeed a spoiler...
So Sasha's Twitter spoiler was indeed a spoiler...
I see you've started posting in the comments on the main page. I do not envy you.
Same goes for FB and Twitter lol.
I still don't understand how Kairi didn't get a title match against Bayley for her last appearance. Why have her beat Bayley last week if not to set that up?
Can’t argue with the fact that match wasn’t needed.
Even the way Bayley injured Kairi was lame. Ali took more punishment in his match with Lashley.
I would have rather seen a situation where Kairi loses a title match to Bayley and is approached by Shayna backstage. Shayna rubs the loss in Kairi's face by repeating what she said to Nikki at Extreme Rules, the "and even if you lose..." line. Kairi gets pissed and attacks Shayna, but then Baszler gets the better of her and takes out Kairi the same way she did Logan, by stomping her elbow on the ground. Now Asuka goes into the match against Sasha without Kairi backing her up and loses via shenanigans. Then you can do Asuka vs Shayna to get revenge for "retiring" Kairi and still leave the door open for a rematch against Sasha in a fair fight.
Other than this fluke win over Bayley, has Kairi ever had a significant singles win? She's typically been the scrawny one who makes her opponent look like ten million bucks because she bumps so well.
I think she was just really well like backstage (by Steph) and the WWE wanted to prove to her that they wanted her back, so on her last day with the company, as they were doing double tapings, they didn't want to bury her twice. This way, they've set up a story for her return. If they'd had had her lose, her eventual return wouldn't be meaningful, it'd be "Oh, the little jobber is back" I understand that WWE normally buries talent on the way out, but I smell a work.
I was fine with it given that we've been privy to knowledge that Kairi has had serious head injuries in the past year. First Charlotte, then Nia. So her getting thrown headfirst into metal doors makes sense. I'm actually surprised they didn't have Shayna be the one to force her out by doing that arm breaking stomp she did to Sara Logan and others. Maybe even go further and have this morbid scene where Nia gets involved and beats her up even more. Saying "no, I can beat up Kairi better than you!" Plus they have history from NXT, so that'd be another call back. I guess it would have been too overbooked, especially once Asuka finally made it backstage.
Speaking of, I do like that if she does come back, they could got with either/or with her and Asuka in a ready made feud if they want. If Asuka's a face, then Kairi is the heel, mad that her friend didn't save her in time. If Asuka's the heel, then she can say "I gave up my title to save you, and this is how you repay me" type deal. So I will applaud WWE in this regard.
Also, the main event with Drew and Ziggler was pretty good. It was a hard hitting, fast spectacle to be sure. Now we have Drew and Orton. While I would like Drew to retain the title a little longer, I have this feeling they're going to go with Orton for right now. Kinda would make sense if they can keep it on him until Mania and have Edge be the one to return and take it off him. If they can wait that long. And if crowds are back. There's a lot of "ifs" right now aren't there?
I wondered where Carillo was during the earlier segment. But I also wonder where the AOP and Austin Theory have gone - it's just bad storytelling / insulting to the audience to not even mention them.
I though this was a turning point/ highlight of Murphy's career. He played the indecision well, but after Seth's egging him on, he finally got to show he's at least equal to Black in the earlier segment, and his match with Carillo was really terrific - and I am not a big Carillo fan. On top of it, he removed the shirt, and got to show he's been working out - he's really chiseled but the power rangers outfit has done him no favors.
I was wondering where Theory went to as well. He joined Seth's stable not too long ago and he's already disappeared. He must have tested positive.
AOP are gone 'cuz one of them is injured.
Sounds like Crews is back and squaring off against MVP tonight.
Shane McMahon’s back tonight too in probably another attempted ratings fix. Let’s just forget that he was fire because he lost to Owens lol.
Shane... yay?
Also, they've announced a new faction will be debuting and causing chaos...
