EVAlution... How do we feel? Other than feeling terrible for Naomi of course.

 

i'm kinda here for it

 

i can see her and piper becoming champs soon with eva doing nothing apart from possibly pinning natalya, it wouldn't surprise me to see this as early as summerslam but raw was soo female focused it was brillaint to see.

 

The way Alexa SQUASHED nia *.*

It was definitely the best Raw in a long time, especially for the women.

 

Although I don't like how Nikki Cross keeps only winning by luck almost, as if she's not a threat.

This Eva story gives me major Steph's reign as Women's Champ teas. Steph getting Tori to do all the work and pinning her opponents to retain the title etc...

 

Lots of people body shaming Piper on Twitter though and kinda blaming her for the treatment of Naomi. Which isn't fair, but this did EXACTLY what WWE wanted it to do. They're not gonna give Eva somebody who doesn't trend on Twitter are they? :lol:

 

I'm not as big a fan of Naomi as others are (at times I find it a bit too style over substance, similarly to how I feel about someone like RVD for example) but how WWE aren't capitalising on her when she has such a huge following... it's crazy. Also, their biggest missed opportunity in sales was them not selling the GLOW title! WHY WOULD YOU NOT SELL THAT?! However, I will always root for her coz she seems like one of the nicest women and it's always nice to see good people rewarded :wub:

 

Heel Naomi though... GIVE IT TO MEEEEEE.

Really want to watch this Chyna documentary, why is it no where online yet :cry:

It’s on dailymotion it’s so sad! It’s also infuriating how every time someone in this position and takes their own life. They are always surrounded by nobs. The main camera guy has some serious cheek and lack of empathy throughout.

Rest in Peace to Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff.

Live fans returning this week also!

Remember him from the 1980s/1990s when I was watching wrestling.

 

R.I.P. Mr. Wonderful.

Raw last night was a tale of two crosses. Nikki Cross cashed in the Money In The Bank briefcase on Charlotte and won the Raw Women's Championship. NXT champion Karrion Kross on the other hand lost his first match on Raw to Jeff Hardy which doesn't bode well for the rest of his time on the main roster. It was great seeing fans back for the shows that took place over the past few days. Hopefully they will never have to go back to the Thunderdome again.

raw was a shambles again, the crowd just made it better.

 

Kross shouldn't have lost on his debut and scarlott should have been there.

 

Keith Lee also shouldn't have lost and we shouldn't have got goldberg EVER.

don't see nikki having a long title reign either though, I'm guessing it will be nikki v charlotte at summerslam and alexa v doudrop / eva :(

To think Kross would be someone Vince would be all over too. I think it's just that he doesn't give a shit about NXT when they move to the main roster, few exceptions of course so Kross probably making the mistake of going there to start with didn't really help in Vince's mind :')

 

Lol at Oldberg. I guess Brock didn't want to come back at the moment. Probably won't happen but I guess you can never count out Lesnar v Lashley at Wrestlemania without the title being on the line.

 

Nikki is totally losing the women's title back to Charlotte at Summerslam just to up her number of more reigns :drama: hopefully a swerve happens though.

Bray Wyatt / The Fiend has been released. WWE are seriously making gigantic cuts this year it seems. I'm not massively bothered as I don't really care for the Fiend character personally but it's still quite a surprise considering Bray was a huge merchandise seller.

Ric Flair has been released from WWE as well. I don't know how they managed to mess up The Fiend after how popular he was in the first few months of the gimmick. I think there's more to it than just "budget cuts". It seems very sus to release only one wrestler on a Saturday. Especially when you take his merchandise sales into consideration. It looks like Alexa Bliss is getting heat about this even though it's not her fault.

Another week and more releases from NXT. Some big names like Bobby Fish and Bronson Reed. The latter surprises me somewhat as he was pushed hard and was away for a main roster call up. Leon Ruff whilst not a major name was a shame as he was quite good I liked his match with Gargano last year. Mercedes Martinez will probably re appear in AEW or something. Tyler Rust wasn't interesting but that stable with Roderick Strong seems a bit strange now.

 

There was other names on there too but they aren't that well known really.

 

WWE are going bonkers this year. Also all these releases and Jaxson Ryker and Eva are still employed..

i think there's something seriously up with keith lee

 

although calling him up to main roster was such a stupid decision when he was nxt champ

 

So there's more to this absence now. Keith Lee posted a video explaining that he had some sort of heart issue earlier in the year and was advised not to work or train otherwise he'd die basically. Mia Yim also caught a lot of backlash over him catching covid (she didn't have it) so I gather this might be just one reason for her disappearance too.

 

Also I may be alone on this but I'm loving the Baron Corbin storyline. It's perhaps the best thing he's done like EVER lol.

I feel really bad for Bianca Belair after she got squashed in about a minute by the returning Becky Lynch at Summerslam and lost the Smackdown Women's Championship. Brock Lesnar is back as well and it looks like he might be Roman Reigns's next challenger for the Universal Championship.

I switched off before the event started as couldn't be arsed to stay and watch tbh. The bianca thing annoys me so much. I get it will help build up a storyline and it isn't Becky's fault she got her return speeded up compared to when she was speculated to return (October) but fgs WWE really don't do themselves any favours with all this stupid booking. You had Bianca build up win the rumble beat Sasha in a match of the year candidate, solidish run just to have her beat in 26 seconds??? Stupid. No wonder people are switching off. Also really don't know what's going on with Sasha either but I hope she's alright.

 

Brock with a ponytail is an odd sight :lol:

Whilst I don't give it a shit about Charlotte or Alexa's gimmick. I'm still quite here for these two finally having a proper feud (not counting the Survivor Series match from 2017).

 

Also what was the point in Eva Marie coming back again? :lol: Shayna and Nia breaking up as well seems inevitable and Miz and Morrison as well. That segment with Logan Paul was horrendous. Possibly the worst thing this year. What a gigantic waste of time and so incredibly awkward too.

What is WWE's fascination at the minute with breaking up every pairing? Shayna Nia, Eva Doudrop, Dakota Raquel, Miz and Morrison, they'll split up Alexa and Lilly next.

NXT is going to become a Vince Mcmahon and Bruce Pritchard production :drama: it was nice while it lasted NXT :(
