Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I just scanned through RAW and while everyone's talking about Roman's promo (I don't care what Roman does or says and I don't sympathize with him because it doesn't feel earned) what the hell was that McMahons/Angle/Rousey segment? Like, seriously, what the hell was that? So the Rousey storyline so far is:

- Ronda Rousey shows up at Royal Rumble, interrupting the first Women's Rumble victor, facing off with the two Women's Champions, pointing to the WM sign, and shaking Stephanie McMahon's hand.
- Rousey shows up at Elimination Chamber to sign a contract where she announces she's not looking for a Women's Title match despite last month's actions but does want an undefined WM spot.
- Kurt Angle randomly announces that Steph and HHH want to use Rousey and he heard them say all kinds of stuff.
- Ronda kicks HHH's rear end and gets slapped by Stephanie.
- Steph tries to clear the air.
- Ronda wants to kill Steph for disrespecting her with the slap.
- Angle claims he lied while intimating that he's just saying this to keep his job.
- Steph apologizes for slapping Ronda.
- Ronda accepts this all and is good to go.
- HHH hits Angle for fun.

The hell? Like I get where this story is going to end up but who the hell is writing this poo poo and what's the point of this? It would be better if they just pulled the Taker thing and had Ronda point at signs each week.

Sure, but the story's not exactly making much sense over the last 48 hours either. Kurt's behavior barely makes sense, there's a whole chapter built around Steph getting comeuppance that ends in Rousey being very magnanimous and forgiving her even when Angle's thing seemed to be implying Authority manipulation, and HHH is just picking fights with the guy who he just got to lie for him? No one is behaving in a terribly rational sense and that segment had no resolution or payoff.

Actually I guess maybe I'm sympathetic to Rousey because I guess if I was in her place I'd be confused as to what's happening too.

kurt was telling the truth on sunday (because he is a face and therefore a "good person" in the wrestling world) to warn ronda and trips and steph are threatening to fire him if he doesn't take back what he said and convince ronda they weren't saying poo poo behind her back. over the next few weeks it'll be revealed that trips and steph were talking poo poo about ronda and mocking her for accepting a "normal wrestler" contract because her star isn't as bright as it was a couple years ago and ronda's gonna have murderface again.

come on guys they've been forcing the ronda thing for years and are going for it in a very normal mcmahon angle way.

it's a lot easier for Angle to just tell us what's going on instead of showing it happen. that's why they always say "tell, don't show" because it's much easier to write that way

Yeah, it was fairly obvious when Angle said "I'm doing what I have to do, I need this job" that he was just covering for the McMahons because they threatened him. That's not in question. But he comes off like an irrational actor or pushover stooge day to day, Rousey comes off like an idiot if she didn't pick up on it, Steph got to walk away having manipulated the stupid faces, and HHH then hit Angle anyway even though that's now going to lead to Angle putting his pride over his job and making the match happen.

I don't care if its common for McMahons. Its really, really stupid.

The important thing is that they’re redoing the Austin McMahon feud right down to the letter, so we can expect memorable segments such as:

It'd probably be a little better if it turns out that HHH and Steph were threatening Jason Jordan's job, not Kurt's. Kurt straight up said that if HHH tries to gently caress with him again, then he can take the job and shove it up his rear end.

I don't see anything all that awful about the writing of the Rousey storyline except for how it looks with Roman/Brock going on. On one side you have "You have to listen to your bosses and that's bad!" while on the other side you have "He doesn't listen to his bosses and that's bad!"

Sure...

Ronda signs at EC. Do some build up, Steph tells Ronda that at Raw she will find out who her first opponent will be. Next night Steph goes into Power Trip mode, tells Ronda she is going to waste her contract doing nothing and not giving her what she wanted, to be a WWE Superstar. Says she'll do autograph signings, make appearances, but will not wrestle. Ronda puts Steph in some submission hold, demands a match at Wrestlemania against Stephanie and gets it. Triple H adds himself to the match, says it is going to be a handicap match. Angle adds himself to the match to even it out because he is a GM.

That's somewhat less cringe worthy.

Chad Gable, Shelton Benjamin, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens all agreed with this post, but a ref overturned it, so now only Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens agree with it.

And to Steph's credit, seeing her stomp up to Rousey like a badass and then poo poo herself and go "Sorry ma'am" was pretty funny. I actually buy that Stephanie is a little bit scared of the woman 10 years her junior who won medals and belts beating people up for real.

WOR stated last night that Asuka was supposed to announce which title she was going after last night on RAW, but they decided to scrap it. I think they are waiting to see how this Alexa/Asuka feud pans out before deciding.

I would expect an announcement after Fastlane. As for Nia vs Alexa, that could probably be scrapped due to the fact that it would be one of the worst matches on the card by a wide margin. Alexa vs Asuka would probably be for the better anyways, because it seems like WWE wants to have Carmella cash in and win the Smackdown Women's title, and they don't want to give her Asuka's streak as part of that.
