They hired Dana Warrior to join the creative team as well.

Only me who thinks this match has been good? Messy but entertaining.

Did this PPV really need to be 3:40 without even adding in the pre-show?

The Orton/Styles was the type of **** WWE needs to do away with. So you don't know what to do with Orton and Styles at Wrestlemania...you don't have to include them.

Is anyone really looking forward to Orton/Styles at Wrestlemania?

So what Wrestlemania is looking like

Bryan v Kofi
Rollins v Lesnar
Orton v Styles
Miz v Shane
Paul v Dave
Joe v ??
Usos v Hardys
Balor v Lashley
Asuka v (mandy again?)
Reigns v ??
Cena appearing
Undertaker appearing
Becky v Charlotte v Ronda

Orton Styles is also still way ahead of Dave vs Paul in the "looking forward" category.

Having your potential future star of the company and top babyface get into her Mania match by a freshly turned heel intentionally DQing her when it's clear she can't win her match is certainly a decision. Charlotte continues to add nothing to this story. She isn't even getting meaningful heel heat.

Becky (as she usually does) does a valiant job trying to tie this story together in this backstage promo. Maybe they should have her talk on the mic more.

It'd certainly tie into her being SCSA more.

The leg selling is ridiculous at this point. Hopefully it "heals" by WM and that's not part of the story. Becky went from my favorite woman's wrestler for a long time (until Ronda showed up) and now I find it annoying to see her.

The build has legit tilted me because I want it to be good so badly and they're making it so hard. You can see in the promo above (and what she's done for the last three years) that Becky is a master storyteller and can get the crowd on her side like maybe no one else. That's how she got over even though they never really pushed her until a few months ago. So it's just unreal that her being on the mic wasn't how they chose to build this match, and the only reason I can think of for why they didn't do it is because she so thoroughly outclasses Charlotte/Ronda in that area and they didn't want the build to be lopsided.

No way. Ronda for sure, but Charlotte's heel mic work is top level. She's already delivered multiple money promos imo in the past few weeks alone. She clearly can hold her own.

Not true! The most over person in the company over the last 6 months was in a match where they had to win to make the main event of wrestlemania, was clearly about to lose decisively, and had the new heel come down and attack them to give them the win by DQ.

So yeah, you missed some really good momentum for the face challenging two heels

The only real issue is that it's putting the fued above the belt which diminishes the belt. If there was no title involved it makes sense and works imo. Rousey wants Lynch in the match because she wants to damage her.

I thought the PPV was pretty decent, I was in and out though and looks like I missed some pretty crappy bits.

That's not how an angry heel would have ever done it.

To me, Ronda's narrative should be "you wanted to **** with me, I'm going to destroy and embarrass you on the biggest stage that exists, and you will regret ever trying to get into this situation"

I agree with this and think he actions make enough sense for this. I dunno, don't hate it as much as others do. They have ****ed around with it too much and are killing fan reaction.
