I hear what you are saying, but I think they did the right thing. They are trying to sell Network subscriptions and announcing Angle early accomplishes that. If they waited until the show, that wouldn't have sold one more sub because everybody would have been expecting it to be Titus O'Neal, and rightfully so

In for first 30 minutes until SNF.

First thing I hear when I tune in is "The Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka"...I know I've mentioned it before but god ****ing damnit. Branding this woman before she even has a character or wrestles on the MR. gfy Vince.

I think Emma's gotten in more offense in five minutes than any female in NXT has against Asuka in two years.

That's why I put "on the MR"

. Some people don't watch NXT (hi!).

Yeah, just wanted to clear up that it's not a random Vince thing he just came up with for the main roster.

I thought this would be more of a squash but I don't mind a straight-up good match. Emma can really work when she gets the chance.

Asuka was taking Brock's role with that sweet looking German suplex. It looked stiff as ****. Was much better than Shinsuke's debut.

It probably should have been a squash. Part of the charm is that everyone in NXT feared Asuka.

In b4 Alexa pins her clean in a two minute RAW match.

Also, I don't think it's been mentioned on 2p2 yet. Nia left the WWE as well. She walked out last Monday complaining about booking and pay.

I've read some debate on whether Nia left or was given time off for personal reasons.

Wish the main was a War Games type match. Feel like there's gonna be a turn. Either Angle on the Shield or Braun for the Shield.

Not sure if you're aware, this PPV is not only in Minnesota, but also 1999.

It was reported she was placed on a "leave of absence" at first but more news came out about why she left. She asked for release but wasn't granted it and was granted a leave.

I'm guessing Kane lost the election.

When did Umbrella Boy turn heel? Seemed to have one of the few interesting gimmicks on that show.

Cedric and Rick need to be a legit tag team. These guys are amazing in the ring.

And the award for Most Unnecessary Move of the Night goes to Rich Swann for the Phoenix Splash to break up the submission move

So if Nia really is gone, Mickie only wins to lose it right back to Alexa or Sasha turns to be her next challenger (no other formidable heels?)

Also, my Alexa app keeps going off during this match. Never goes off when Raw is on though. Wonder why.
