Looks like she might be kinda important from the way she's framed in the trailer too.

First season was pretty episodic, curious to see if she if she just ends up being “important character of the week” or not.

yeah Disney have never featured a poc character heavily in a trailer and then cut out 90% of their scenes in the actual finished product

"It's uh, you know, it's a Lucha thing. He's El Hijo De Yoda but he's not like, actually Yoda's son. They're just working the same gimmick. I guess he could do his own thing but you know, that's the business so he's El Hijo De Yoda"

Also, as a person who watches a lot of Cartoon Network in the afternoon, I remembered that they've been running commercials for their Wrekkin' Slambulance toy for like a month now with Drew heavily featured and narrating it. Long before it was announced or even hinted at on television. I think they did the same thing with Braun before his ambulance match with Roman (?) a couple years ago. So, the company clearly has some long-term planning and it all revolves around promoting specific toys.

They had the dumb destructible car action figure for like a year and then the SNL guys somehow got an exact replica car of that toy for Braun to rip apart

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I get the impression Rey’s daughter is going to turn on them but that sort of seems like a dead end.

I like Star Wars but not enough to watch The Mandalorian, and I know Disney is just as evil as WWE, but good on Sasha getting a presumably decent and high-profile payday outside of WWE. I hope this becomes a substantial and lucrative career for her so she can leverage better deals and treatment, or just leave as need be. I don't know if she's a good actor, but even if she isn't she's still too good for this company.

"The planned finish was for James to tap out to the Asuka Lock but the bell was rung prematurely while James and Asuka were grappling with James selling Asuka trying to lock her in a submission hold.

PWInsider.com has been told by numerous sources that the decision was made to ring the bell out of concern that James might actually have been out on her feet due to the way she was selling the move.

We are told James was actually fine and just did siuch an excellent job of selling that she was out of it that she fooled those in charge, who signaled that the match be stopped, instructions the referee followed."

People are saying she plays a pretty high profile character too.

I hope Sasha gets a lot of money. She's real good and deserves it.

That's down only slightly from last week. They're probably going to do more Raws with taglines as a result.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

They did the same thing with the Shark Cage, I honestly don't know if it's WWE telling the toy company they're doing a gimmick or if the toy company is saying "hey we're making this, can you promote it"

The first time NXT did the shark cage it was so jarring because Paul Ellering rarely, if at all interfered in matches before that and didn't do it after either

But they wouldn't stop Flair from trying to murder Kairi after everyone on the planet knew she had a concussion. :tinfoil: I wonder if they've got their fingers on the trigger after the Matt Hardy accident

Yeah what the gently caress? Do they actually think one of their best workers would be so incompetent at their job as to actually choke someone out?

But clearly this woman who can barely stand is good to go for that powerbomb through a table have fun out there Charlotte!

I think the best way to make retribution awesome is when they unmasked they have no skin on their faces so now they are all people with bloody skulls and they scream constantly while mildly wrecking poo poo.

There might've been more significance to Hurt Business defending RAW if they hadn't debuted like the same time Retribution did, and did more than just harass Apollo Crews and R-Truth for a couple months.

I mean good for Lashley; he's never been my thing but whatever, his matches are usually short enough. It's funny at this point last year Main Event Bobby was starting his feud with The Best Man (which ultimately ended June 2020 :psyduck: )

My favorite part about Raw is I've been using it as an excuse to watch movies in my backlog I've been putting off because they were over 2 hours. This week it was an excellent Korean horror movie called The Wailing and next week I'm finally going to watch The Irishman.
