So Rhea is a heel now I guess. She's going to beat Asuka at mania and then get challenged by Charlotte. Rhea is gonna complain about Charlotte trying to steal another title from her like a heel would complain and then Charlotte is going to win like the triumphant face WWE wants her to be in the eyes of the fans.

Sounds like a really nothing happening Raw, not even some Fiend poo poo. Good thing they have plenty of time to build this PPV.

Asuka has to have had one of the worst reigns of all time, right? Not in terms of matches, obviously, but the combination of the booking and the length of it is just.. dismal.

Has there ever been a good Raw Women's title reign? If feels like the champ never defends and they're always put in tag feuds with random partners.

The last Raw before Mania which is literally this week posted:

Drew McIntyre show-opening promo interrupted by Bobby Lashley, MVP and Baron Corbin; McIntyre says he'll run through Lashley at Mania, MVP says Drew might not even make it to the show
Xavier Woods defeats AJ Styles in under 90 seconds via distraction from Kofi Kingston tossing a mic at Omos
Braun Strowman promo interrupted by Shane McMahon
Braun defeats Elias
Miz and John Morrison vandalize Bad Bunny's Bugatti, then beat him up
Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defeat Asuka and Rhea Ripley after Rhea attacks Asuka
Nia and Shayna backstage promo interrupted by Lana and Naomi, Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose, Tamina and Natalya, and Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan. Tag turmoil #1 contenders match with those teams Night 1, Nia and Shayna defend the women's tag titles against the winners Night 2
Lashley defeats Cedric Alexander despite attempted interference from Shelton Benjamin. Post-match Shelton again tries attacking but gets beat up too
Damian Priest and Bad Bunny want a tag match with Miz and Morrison at Mania instead, Miz and Morrison accept
Riddle defeats Mustafa Ali, with Sheamus on commentary
Drew defeats Corbin, with MVP on commentary. Post-match Drew and Lashley stare at each other

People diss go-home Mania Raws/moments like the belt tug of war, but goddamn at least that was funny/memorable

Its probably the only way to get noticed. Odds are Vince never even watches your match so actually wrestling good doesn't mean poo poo.

Becky's was probably the best. It wasn't a great reign but at least she looked strong for almost all of it.

Alexa Bliss cameo thing for Wrestlemania. She’s doing them in high school freshman year character or whatever the gently caress gimmick this is called.

I know a lot of people don't love the gimmick, but I love that I saw her live when she was in NXT and thought she was talented, but assumed she'd be lost in the shuffle. Yet a few years later somehow the 5 foot girl had a months long feud with Randy loving Orton and then beat him. Even Charlotte hasn't taken an RKO or beaten Orton. She has the biggest push of any of the women and seems to be having a ball.

Because when she put her name on the dotted line the WWE was the best place to sign and there weren't really many other options. :v:

Hell, they weren't treating her too bad until she and Alexa broke up. She was getting more focus and screen time than most the roster. Making her vanish completely afterwards though...yeah...

From what I gather, WWE has the UK indie scene on lock due to william regal etc, so they funnel the country's best talent directly into the maw of vince mcmahon

It's more because WWE's always been the main thing over here so when they came calling all the indie companies rolled over for them cause WWE said they'd allow NXT UK talent to keep working indies but then whoops we changed our mind 6 months later

Popular culture has passed you by.

Guys, Nikki is going to wear glasses to the ring soon. Her new gimmick is that she is crazy... crazy smart!

In fact, that's her new name. Crazy Smart Nikki, or CSN for short.

God I can't predict this match AT ALL. Each team has a blonde, anyone can win.


God this is like every new year's eve where I tell myself I'm gonna get in shape. Except I like my odds of doing that more than getting some crazy old guy and 60 writers to push me. It's funny how wrestlers who don't get a wrestlemania spot (or if they do, its an ARMBAR spot) go on this existential crisis of "where did I gently caress up?" reflection. People less skilled, much worse at talking, and most of all less over than them got spots so "where did I gently caress up" wont be a question with an answer.

That's real easy, the winners will be the team that seems the most distraught during the match because they know they'll have to share a ring with Nia Jax the next day.

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 guess if you put a gun to my head I'd probably go with Lana and Naomi since they kind of have a story but I would probably expect that gun to go off.
