WWE disbands the IIconics, a tag team with a name, while giving the belts to Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax whom I don�t think ever tagged before yesterday.

I'm a fan of the iconics. They're not the best in ring but they do some cool stuff. I thought the hand holding gimmick was unique and also the four way with Asuka and Ember and them is such an awesome match and really underrated in my opinion. I don't think breaking them up is a great idea just because Billie is gonna get lost in the shuffle immediately and that's sad. It'd be cooler to push Peyton as a heel with Billie helping her and kinda do what they were doing in NXT which got over I feel.

They're bad wrestlers (well Peyton has the new best finisher in WWE - the Deja Vu - and has gotten a LOT better in the ring lately.) But they were the top female promos until Sasha/Bayley were let loose.

I personally love them, but if it gets Peyton giving a Charlotte a Deja Vu one day in a singles run, I'm all for it

Let's make the guy who built his reputation on flawless Sasuke Specials and Double Rotation Moonsaults do fake MMA. That's playing to his strengths.

I'll never in my life understand why Vince thinks that tag-teams are a vehicle to put over singles wrestlers and has broken up literally every single tag-team that's been in the WWE that's ever been over

He sees them as mini-unions that must be stopped, it's why he dislikes New Day, because each of the three have threatened to leave if he tries to force a break up

wow the Spirit bomb is more protected than the RKO in kayfabe now.

e: I'm not J-Ru or Meltzer, I don't report these, I just shitpost about them

Keith hit Seth with a spirit bomb, than got Rko'd, then Randy pinned Seth who's been laying there like 10 seconds already; maybe not more protected, he just knows Seth is a weak loser (and Randy had just lost to a spirit bomb the night before so he knows the "damage")

It took 4 months for anybody in Aces & Eights to be unmasked

We're just now done with one month, still everyone masked apparently. They can definitely do another three months considering all the nothing that regularly happens on their shows

The funny thing is, I sorta liked Aces & Eights. I like the heel biker gang thing, I thought it did a good job turning Bully Ray heel as like a long term build instead of just a whim turn, and there was clearly a lot of thought put into the individual chapters and clues.
But christ it took forever to unfold.
