I wonder what they actually plan on doing with Bayley now. What a shame. Seriously.
I hope Nia Jax isnt coming in as a face against Bliss. I have so little interest in seeing that I dont even have words.

Right now you're standing next to train tracks. As soon as you hit play, you're gonna hear two locomotives start speeding down the rails on a collision course.

I'm getting morbidly curious how they gonna fuck up Asuka
Only Queen Charlotte remains unburied.
As for Asuka, I hope you're ready for Lady Kaientai when Hojo and Shirai arrive.
They will reproduce the "choppy choppy your pee pee" angle with, I don't know, Darren Young, who will be chosen for the angle specifically because he's openly gay.
And why, you ask?
The irresistible force meets the immovable object!

Her whole shtick is very bizarre. One thing I can say for her is that she is at least authentic. What will be challenging (in addition to so many other things) is how she portrays herself as she ages. The costume won't work in her mid 30s, for example.

Naito gonna lose too
That's a stacked card, friends.
Whoever wins the main event, Data West loses.
There is an alarmingly high chance that all of Data's faves lose. LIJ in the six man, Suzuki, Himoru and Naito!
Maybe you should skip this one.

WWNLive had better hope so since they signed a five year contract with FloSports.
You'd think they would improve the presentation at least a little. Still so far behind PROGRESS.
I mean, NWA's classics VOD service is still around, and Boots might be that thing's only subscriber.

The way they would write her "losing confidence" would be like her getting fat and farting all the time or something.
"Hey Kurt, I'd love to have a match tonight, but I spilled chocolate ice cream all over my top and now I can't go wrestle, tee hee hee."
"Ugh, I can't go out tonight Stephanie, I just ate a giant meatball sub and I'm bloated. *fart noise*"

There was no way that the WWE creative team could handle Bayley with the nuance and care that is needed to make the character what it was in NXT

Riddle dropped out of the War Machine v. Riddle/Cobb match at AAW :'(
Nice replacement though
Cobb's still there so hopefully they find someone suitable to get thrown around

This whole 'The Bar' thing going on with Sheamus and Cesaro just reeks of a HHH gimmick and is a tad annoying. Rather than develop chemistry and a relationship between the two, they have reduced them to one or two stupid quips. Bless the guys for working hard to make it work but it just all sounds contrived.

Did Riddle double book himself again?
It's unprofessional. Get a business manager.

Unpopular opinion: Sasha & Bayley were never going to work in the main event card.
Sounds like they're going for APA pt 2

It's dumb and making things worse for some of the wrestlers.
How many times this year has he done this?
Someone get to work on an app for Indy guys to use a calendar and keep track of their bookings.
I see you lurking there Tiger Mask W
Bro, Europeans put the day before the month. It's hard.

Like those carnies would pay for an app.
We're up to 3 or 4 instances this year, I think.
So, a calendar

They won't do that, but they will barely have her talk and will have heels be condescending to her and pretend to talk for her like they did Ziggler and Nakamura. It will be painful.

Allow me to weep a moment here...
You know being a Kaneanite since I started watching you'd think I'd have been used to this, being on the Barrett Bandwagon during his entire shaky WWE run of to and fro booking you'd think I'd be used to this.
But bloody hell, the gradual booking disaster of Bayley is just too much for me heart fellas.
Oh sure we joked about how the main roster would find a way to assassinate a surefire feel good face gimmick but they did it, the monsters in the writing team and Vinny Mac pulled it off, and this is someone who won the women's title and successfully defended it at the companies biggest event. Yep Bayley got what should have been a Mania moment but the booking that preceded it had already bungled that.
And now we've limped to the finish line, between being presented as a women with the brain of a child, having a best friend who was booked like a heel turn in the making only to never actually happen, with a throwaway Raw title win, with the worst segment on Raw this year booked at her expense.
We crossed the line at last with Bayley failing to get EXTREME in a borderline squash match with a dumb gimmick.
Bravo WWE, I'm impressed but not surprised. I'm not gonna pretend that her promo skills are strong or her in ring skills aren't shaky every now and then but in WWE character trumps all, they've bungled it, they've bungled it good.
Honestly feel it was the best match on the card, I was all ready to skip it but decided i'd give them a chance and they did good with the stipulation and it felt like one of the better performances from both men in ring in recent memory.
The finish was well done as well, good stuff.
