I didn't see the video but I'm guessing she was depressed. I read she came up with the idea for the character. I know it's a character more aimed at kids but I just hope it doesn't last much longer.

Oh, rt3, I looked at tonight's match lineup and I'm pretty sure I could pick out 8 of the 12 competitors in a lineup.

Calling the match a squash is disingenuous. Bianca came prepared for Sasha. Then it was Carmella and then Becky. That was all in 5 minutes. Plus they made a point to show Bianca fangirling and getting caught up in the moment.

She wasn’t prepared for the big moment. She was thrown for a loop twice. You kicked off the biggest storyline in your women’s division in the last couple of years in one move.

This is what is so terrible with IWC Smarks, you think you always know better than creative when all you do is shite on every decision they make just because you don’t agree with it or because they’ve made mistakes in the past.

The same people are sitting on Brock being a part timer while creaming themselves about a guy who hasn’t stepped foot in a ring in 7 years coming back. That’s peak cognitive dissonance.

she was just crying

I truly wonder if this was Nikki's last chance... and like her husband... she might soon be "available" for other employment

1 is immediately thrust into the top title picture

the other is nowhere near the top title picture and may never be in the title picture

that's the difference

ETA: also... I doubt WWE had any plan to ever tell that story... they just lost Sasha to whatever her issue is and was like "we need a pop... quick send Becky out there"

Come on now……I guarantee you Punk v Omega will happen before Omega v Page at this point.

Well sure that wasn’t the plan but whatever the deal is with Sasha happened…..is it that hard to believe that WWE can get the big pop and tell that story?

all roads still point to Omega/Page

the Elite vs. Dark Order story is too good

it just had to be put on hold b/c Hangman's wife was is due to give birth pretty much any day now to their 1st child and AEW wanted to let him have that time off

if I was a betting man... I would still bet on Hangman being the person who takes the belt off of Omega

I thought so as well at one point…..I’m just not so sure at this point. Is this Page’s first kid? Even so taking any more than 2 weeks off seems strange….that’s all I took for my first.

ETA reading is hard….I see you said it was his first…..still stands!

yes... I don't trust WWE to tell that story

we're talking about Vince & Pritchard here... all they want to do is get to Survivor Series for SD Women's Champ Becky vs. Raw Women's Champ Charlotte

That is a valid concern…..but the did further that story with Bianca’s comments after her loss.

ETA unless Bianca went into business for herself….in which case Vinny Mac and Brother Love should run with her idea.

AEW cooled him down so he could have the time off

they also are telling the dissention between Dark Order of "to help him or give him his space"

remember... the last time we saw Hangman... he got BTE Triggered multiple times (which AEW has told us in story can put people out multiple weeks) as Dark Order had that initial conflict

he's been off TV for the last 2 weeks (BTE Trigger assault was on August 4th)... so he can come back this week... or they can wait 2 more weeks and let him come back after All Out to re-heat him up for that match either for Arthur Ashe (4 Dynamite episodes post-All Out) or Full Gear in November

She lost within 30 seconds to one move. If that ain’t a squash, what is?

It could be better for WWE as a whole…..I mean look at the last 3 years…..it was clear that the guys that were over in NXT weren’t going to get called and used in Raw or Smackdown…..which led to things like Reigns shoved down our throats as a face, Strowman not being able to carry the torch, Lesnar sabotaging the title numerous times, and putting a gimmick on Bray Wyatt that you couldn’t get out of….among other things.

I hope that the new version of NXT can get the next crop of Cena’s, Orton’s, Batista’s, and Lesnar’s.

I agree WWE having an Indie like show was fun for a good while and it worked but I’m not sure it’s what they need now for what they want to build.

I’m as disappointed as the next man that this probably means they don’t have anything for Adam Cole, K O’Reilly, or Gargano on the main roster….that is the biggest shitty thing about this.

the sad thing is Vince had Shawn Michaels & Daniel Bryan... 2 guys who showed him that a perfect physique/big isn't everything... being personable with a good character is

he'll go through a million Great Khalis and never even think to give a potential new Daniel Bryan a chance

if Adam Cole does show up on Dynamite in the next few weeks... that'll definitely be 1 WWE will kick themselves over letting him go for probably 2 decades

That I agree with and the only WWE to AEW move that WWE will truly regret over time.

ETA

I still think UDE could have been one of the best factions in WWE history on the main roster.
