Randy Orton vs. Jinder Mahal is the most bland title feud possible so WWE doesn't care if Bennett is bland and I can't imagine him being a downgrade.

24 hours before the show and basically nothing is decided yet

code:
Jinder Mahal -600
Randy Orton +400

Baron Corbin -350
Shinsuke Nakamura +500
Sami Zayn +1150
AJ Styles +1350
Kevin Owens +2000
Dolph Ziggler +5500

The Usos -260
The New Day +180

Carmella -210
Charlotte Flair +350
Natalya +650
Becky Lynch +900
Tamina +5000

Naomi -210
Lana +160
I'm guessing the odds swing to Charlotte, since she's the designated "win every Historic Women's Thing" person. And maybe Lana steals a win and then Charlotte saves us from an actual Lana title reign.

I could easily see it staying Carmella because a James Ellsworth briefcase servant thing seems right up their alley

Only things I'm confident in are 1) Jinder, and 2) women's match staying close, especially if there's a 6th entrant (Maria) who will win

I feel like betting on Bennett to win the case would be more likely to win than Ziggler at this point, and Miracle Mike isn't even an option.

It threw me too but it's just that waist high metal thing making it all look weird. Maria, Mike and Epico appear about the same height.

Mike Bennett loving sucks and i dont know if i will get probated for saying this but Maria has a nice rear end and still sucks at everything wrestling related. They should have signed that nice tna lady who i dont who she is, the blonde face in the wedding segment

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Yeah, she had a gimmick where she basically had the mind of a child. Which could be kind of charming or funny at times but then they made it super creepy by constantly putting her in romance and sexual angles.

In a weird way I find her post WWE career of overt sexuality less objectifying because she's presented more as an adult actively using her sexuality instead of some child. Hell, I've always basically read her and Mike Bennet as her being the half in charge and him being the "second."

Maybe I missed stuff because I'm an irregular viewer but from my take Bayley's not "dumb", she's just nice. Perhaps to a naive level in the world of wrestling, but I've never seen anything beyond maybe the very first weeks of her gimmick that made her seem like she wasn't aware the world sucked. She just wanted it to be better with hugs. Its arguably "childish" but like she's just got a positive world view, she's not got the mind of a child.

WWE Maria was a full blown moron. If I remember it right it started pretty simple with her just making inquisitive faces during interviews and then saying something kind of surprisingly dumb at the end that made you chuckle. But then like most WWE gimmicks they ramped it up to the point where you could paint a tunnel on the wall and she'd try to go through it. And then a bunch of dudes creeped on her.
