Are ya'll ready for the truth about the women's match, or do you need a few days of rest/processing?

to me it's so awkward to watch WWE overhyping the divas right now...
i didn't mind the whole Divas Revolution thing they had going on..
..but to have 3 Rookie Divas (that weren't even on the roster a year ago) in a match like this and have them come out with a bigger pyro than they used for the WM opening inside & outside the stadium is just waaaaay over the top imo.

and i woulda been ok with all that if they had Sasha winning the belt, she had a cool little story going on with the EG tribute attrie and moves in the match... but ofcourse they just give it to charlotte... smh

Also, what better way to crown the new women's champion by having a man step in and help the woman champion win? :cokevince:

Yep.

It's also another example of Legacy > Future tonight. Now I'm not saying that Charlotte is old or something, she's clearly just as much of the new womens "revolution" as the other two. But she's also a FLAIR. That, with the fact that Ric Flair, of all people, is the deciding player in this match...

In a night where if felt like legacy meant more than the future, I'm looking at this contextually like :scusthov:

Agreed. The "chase" should've ended tonight and started up again in a few months.


And they really had her do daily video diaries and shyt just to catch a L :to:

Watch, this "chase" is gonna end in a few months at Summerslam.

Basically, instead of coronating her at the largest and grandest stage, with literally everything pointing to this being her night, the night after her family makes it into the HoF... they are gonna try and use a "chase" as justification to wait like 3 months and give it to her on a smaller stage. It's nonsense.

and i woulda been ok with all that if they had Sasha winning the belt, she had a cool little story going on with the EG tribute attrie and moves in the match... but ofcourse they just give it to charlotte... smh

It's hard for me to buy "it's part of the story" because they are typically *so bad* at telling stories, particularly when it comes to the divas women.

Like....if tonight was about making her a truly beloved babyface as opposed to a smark-appeal tweener...it definitely worked. It's just hard to "buy" that the WWE is willing or capable of doing that. Especially after tonight, where the story of the show was about as contextually tone-deaf as I've ever seen.

I'd like to know WHEN they decided on who was going to win this match. They were pushing Sasha HARD.

Only reason Charlotte won becuase she the only legit heel right now. If Sasha wins who else can step in and start a program with her. You'll be calling for Bayley but this isn't NXT. Smart to keep the title on her, they need to establish another heel or have Becky turn.

The problem is Charlotte needs the title for heat right now, without it and her father interfering for heat she's nothing. Sasha's not taking the fall they want to protect that streak so that leaves Becky, I just wish Becky didn't tap out and instead lost by pinfall. This is to set up Charlotte vs Sasha.

You've gotta be able to watch as a fan and not so much an "analyst" sometimes in order to have fun with this stuff. Some do it easier than others. Going into last night we knew this was a fly by the seat of our pants show given how many times things got re-written, it took on a house show vibe to me.

Considering how bad injuries ripped them apart this year they had to do a LOT of smoke and mirrors to try and be interesting. If they'd gutted NXT over the course of the last two months even that woulda been a temp fix to a degree.

Not defending them because they shouldn't have been in this position to begin with as they had solid mid card talent available that they jerked around and kept in redundant feuds etc

Charlotte's the most over heel on the roster right now. Legit heat. :pachaha:

Plus Sasha and Becky get louder pops than alot of the males too.
