Hole up a minute, playa. Sometimes things aren't done because they shouldn't be done.

I hope Charlotte wins. They just gave her that SD! belt so she could hoist both belts up at WM. The ultimate troll job by Vince & Co.. That'd be unquestionably the best ending of any WM!

Upsetting that both raw and smackdown are boring me so much I skip them when WM is like 1 raw/smackdown away.

I'm glad it's a three way match it'll be better in ring. Storyline it's meh but it's WWE and that's the end point of all of their stories if it's not already the middle or beginning.

Trying to get back into WWE for the first time in a while, but it looks like they're mostly just clicking buttons on all these storylines so I find myself fast-forwarding through like 95% of it. The "race the clock" challenge on Raw and then the random Asuka-Charlotte title change on SD were beyond stupid. Only thing they've done correctly is having Ronda embrace the full heel role with short promos. It would've been perfect during Raw if she ended her promo after the 1st mic drop, but couldn't stop there and needed 2 more mic drops I guess.

Becky cheering on New Day seemed kind of odd for the way her character's been portrayed lately.

why would charlotte/ronda beat up becky now if they can get all the gold beating the other one up?

like charlotte/ronda pin becky and thus, only retain their own title and nothing changes is so, so bad.

Now I'm kinda rooting for exactly that just to watch reactions

If they are going to overbook it into oblivion, they should do the WM2000 Angle/Jericho/Benoit match. 2 falls, 1 title for each.

And have Charlotte and Ronda pin each other and just switch titles.

I was super excited that I was getting to go to the go-home Raw for Wrestlemania, now I have sort of a feeling of dread that it is going to be awful.

Go home shows before major PPVs are usually below average even when Raw is good.

Yeah, go home eps are like 75% commercials advertising the weeks PPV. They'll even blow their load showing us some of the good Mania promo videos early.

I have only watched about 2 hours of current WWE programming since Sept, so if this comes off as ignorant, I apologize. Have they announced the headliner for the HOF yet, or is it going to be DX? Please don’t tell me it’s going to be DX

They singlehandedly won the Monday Night Wars by driving a tank to Monday Nitro one night. If that isn't headline material, I don't know what is.

I get irrationally angry every time I see BNB now.

It was such a great gimmick and the fact that Vince decided to kill it out of nowhere just because he hates things getting over, when he didn't mean for it to do so, is the manifestation of most things wrong with WWE the past 10+ years.

Rooting for this too. Would give me ultimate satisfaction to see the smarks give Charlotte the Roman treatment and talk themselves into her not being a good wrestler (when she's likely the best female wrestler of all time).

I feel like you are the one getting worked by WWE for thinking Charlotte is the GOAT. They give her all the kayfabe accolades because they know people will start to actually buy into it. I think she's great in the ring but has had a lot of really forgettable matches too, especially during her insanely bland babyface run pre-Becky feud. But they have made it hard to really compare anyone to her because she's been in every single big women's match.

That said, I'm not super mad about the Charlotte mega push compared to Roman, since she is correctly positioned as a heel now and puts way more people over. The Becky/Charlotte feud was my favorite WWE thing in a long time and I think both really accentuate each other's strengths and minimize their weaknesses.

Yeah, I know, but even by that standard this is going to be trash.

Well said.

Also, re: Charlotte-- something I like about her is that visually she looks like she could/should kick most of these tiny girls' asses. So I appreciate they book her strong.

But that being said, 🎵heeyyyyy, we want some Bayley🎵

The thing about Charlotte is that athletically she blows every other female wrestler out of the water. She's bigger, stronger and faster than basically every women's wrestler. I think there are things she could be better at but she def has the highest ceiling as far as an in ring competitor and it isn't particularly close.

Man I really hope Lesnar retains at Mania. Would be hilarious. I hate this 'entire WWE universe vs Brock' angle.

And she's terrific (as a heel) on the mic. Agreed, it really isn't close.

That whole Seth bit was very weird. What's the story they're trying to tell with the low blows?

I've got Charlotte as the clear best too.

That said, every time she unleashes a "woo," a baby seal dies.

Man WWE is just insistent on reminding us what coulda been. Ronda and Becky standing in the ring staring daggers into each other’s eyes. The most over wrestler vs the biggest name in wrestling. Then Charlotte awkwardly smack talked them both. Very nice symbolism for how awkward/messy this entire build has been.

It won’t matter, fans will be happy bc Becky will win and WWE will get its $, but Charlotte/Asuka putting on the classic they put on last week and Becky/Ronda main eventing woulda just been so much better.

Isn't Batista supposed to be the heel?

Cole has absolutely no idea what’s going on. First he was sure to remind us that Ronda didn’t hit the cop intentionally, then he berated Becky for hitting a cuffed Ronda saying she deserved to be arrested. Remember when JR berated Austin for attacking a helpless Vince and calling for his arrest? Ya me neither.

Sure, but in HHHs desperate attempt to put himself over one last time (even the Oromo says he’s “done everything else”) he forgot the fans know what he’s trying to do.
