What was bad about Nia? It was a short squash match that was better than the one we got later on in the show. She did fine.

I thought it was the best Nia's ever looked. Something about her performance tonight was more on point than her NXT squash matches.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



Nia can do squashes fine, she can be someone'e muscle, she's just too green to carry a singles match. Put her in there with Sasha or Bayley and she'll be fine, put her in there with someone who can't carry her and it will be a disaster. She has improved a lot over the last year, I am just concerned she won't be able to continue improving while on the main roster.

Agreed, if only because she did the best and rarest heel move, picking the person up after a 2-count so you can keep beating on them.

also to note that how the announce team got so much better once that idiotic cowboy left, and now he is on smack down and now i worry about the state of that show.

A lot of people said Lawler got a lot better on Smackdown without Vince in his ear, hopefully the same will be true for JBL

If they play it as "Shane has the world title; Steph has the universe title because she is a megalomaniac," it'll be fine. Mick's "we named it for the fans (who no one but us calls the WWE universe)" is just to cover for his idiot boss in this scenario.

It's something a ten year old would come up with in their backyard. Or something someone trying to one up their big brother would think of.

Here's hoping it's a decent looking belt.

That's what I'm expecting but I still think someone, at some point, should've stopped and pointed out that it sounded reeeeeeaaaaaal loving goofy.

Ordinarily I'd expect no such checks but, hey, they're on a roll.

The Universe championship is dumb because they can't help themselves - Raw has to be bigger than SmackDown, and what's bigger than the WWE? The entire loving universe!

Bring back the spinny belt but have it be Steph's face in the middle. Book it.

Yeah.

It's hard for crowds to get into women's matches because of the nonsense booking, and gently caress finishes that plague the division. Early in the match there was a small obnoxious CM Punk chant. But as the match went on the crowd got drawn into it, and realized what was happening all leading up to the whole place blowing up for Sasha in a way that felt like a hard earned holy poo poo these women are great moment.

It was fantastic, and I felt something special happening after Sasha got her Eddie tribute in. They weren't going to waste that.

I was really disappointed that Roman didn't answer "no" to Young Boys question, for a few reasons

1. Roman shouldn't talk much
2. It plays into his not good bad - guy thing
3. It hints at Romans growing frustration and gives him a way of acknowledging the fan reaction. It looked like he was looking pensively at the crowd for a second before he said what he said, which was
4. Dumb
