It’s a shame that they are wasting Fords talents.

They had the perfect opportunity to split in the draft but didn't pull the trigger. They just wasted the Rockers split angle on two women's wrestlers who have sank without Mandy. People are going to get tired of Bianca but I think they're banking on it being awhile. At that point they can intertwine her and Ford turning heel with a built in first feud.

In other corners... Charlotte is supposed to be back soon and it sounds like she's already angling for a part time deal. Since they for years blew the chance of having a fatal 4 way match with the horsewomen, they should be moving towards Bayley/Charlotte/Becky/[either have Ronda fill Sasha's spot or let the women talk her into coming back] Main Eventing Night 1 at Mania. It doesn't need a title...maybe the stip is the winner faces the champion [who doesn't fight on night 1].

Speaking of Becky, there's no chance in hell Trish wrestles at Saudimania. So are they going to spend 8 weeks of buildup towards MITB? I guess it makes sense to have two Commonwealth country women fighting in a spotlight match. But why the turn so quickly if they were just going to let it simmer for months?

The American crowds could learn from what happened tonight. That place was lit until that stupid finish.

So going back to my comment earlier in this topic, Bunny vs Priest should have been the main event if that was the planned finish for Cody-Brock. That's another reason why I'm skeptical that it finished a planned. They went from feeding that crowd filet mignon to a rich dessert (Usos-K/S/R) to a plateful of piss. Just like Mania.

It also exposes questions about whether HHH is still in full control of creative. It was an Attitude Era kind of crowd which he should be able to read and squeeze every last bit out. They had it last night so he
ad time to move things around. Frankly move BB/DP to the main, Zelina/Rhea to where BB/DP was, and Rhodes/Brock to after Seth/Omos. That order keeps the same kind of vibe and then sends the fans home happy with Bunny and the LWO/Legends cameos.
