I’m cool with a new champ, but f*** it being Roman Reigns. Guy eats finishers and spits them out like they’re wrist locks.

It couldn’t have been Joe? Balor? Instead we get Roman Reigns holding the belt hostage until 2037

I mean, unpopular is one way of categorizing it.


I can understand being happy if Miz lost the title to Balor, Joe, or someone who can benefit from it. But Reigns? The set up to the match was "I want a title" and the finish was "Finishers don't affect me"

It's more crappy booking.

I just hate Miz, I'd take literally anyone on the roster ahead of Miz.

I wouldn't care if Roman won it 6 times in one night.

And yes, I'm tired of Roman myself, but Miz is another story.

No, I would say she still bypassed NXT TV. As I said, 2 matches may as well be 0. They just chose to not expose her the audience for some reason, which is why it was such a surprise given how adamant Triple H is about learning how to be on-screen and developing a character in front of a crowd. Because Vince ain't too good at doing that these days.

I'd be a bit concerned about my standing if I were Alexa Bliss, btw. Despite showing improvement, she's not a good enough worker to be a relevant character without the title, and history in this company says that if you're a woman, you basically get a solid year at the top, and then you're kind of on you own to stay relevant.

This I'll actually agree with you on. All I can figure is that in Vince's mind, a season of Tough Enough, a season of Total Divas, two TV matches and being a regular fixture on the house show circuit is "enough" exposure and that she'll get over on her own. FWIW she also made the cover of a fitness magazine fairly recently.

Nakamura and Balor had to learn where the hard camera was though

Bull, she's going to be around as a staple for years. Bliss is the hand written steorybook for a heel. She better keep it, and should.

Paige, Alexa, Bayley, Sasha, Sonya, Mandy, Foxy, Nia, Asuka, Micky, Dana.

There has to be a shake-up soon with one or two of them heading to Smackdown live right? Or they start having some nights with 3 women division fights on Raw from time to time...

You can’t (or at least shouldn’t) move Alexa or Mickie since they just moved. You would think eventually we’re going to get Sasha vs Bayley so I don’t know that you want to move either of them. Obviously Paige isn’t going anywhere and I doubt Asuka does either.

The only other woman who moves the needle at all there is Nia Jax and maaaaaaaybe Alicia a little. I suppose you could move them?

Probably still only be 2 segments. The Asuka squash and then the Paige group and Sasha/Bayley/Mickie segment with Alexa thrown in as well as Nia at times. I expect Paige/Mandy/Sonya vs Sasha/Bayley/Mickie for the next 6 weeks. RR will probably be Paige vs Alexa vs Sasha vs Bayley, or some multi women match.
