A squash to me is when the match is known ahead of time, hypes, and then someone systemically dominates their opponent for a few minutes, almost buries them if not outright. When Seth cashed in on Brock and Roman and hit two moves and won the title did you really consider it a squash? Hell by that standard almost all cash ins are “squashes”.

Let’s say the bell rang in this match and Bianca turned to the crowd to bask in the pop and Becky rolled her up for 3, still a squash? Goldberg squashed Brock a few years back. Bobby squashed Keith Lee. Hell Drew basically squashed Jinder on the same card. To me, there’s s big difference between a shocking surprise and a squash. Kane vs Chavo and Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan at WM were shocking surprises.

Becky said let’s tear the house down and beat her in under 30 seconds. It was dumb and I don’t know why you are so hellbent on defending it.

bad analogy... as the 2 had been wrestling a legit match for like 10 minutes before Seth cashed in and made it a triple threat

also... in most cash-in situations... the defending champion is not standing up staring down the challenger at 100% health when the bell rings... the champion is normally selling a previous match or beatdown or both
