Then again, without Nia we wouldn't have gotten such a great and memorable shot as the one with Becky's blood covered gave at the top of the steps. Possibly also led to Becky main eventing Mania.

That one punch by Jax' followed by the bloody visual made Becky instantly. She was far more over following that night. Best thing to ever happen to her was getting piefaced by Nia.

But Nia is utterly wreckless. She has this undeserved sense of importance when in reality the best moment of her career was eating an RKO.

I don't think a wrestler would be screaming spots or instructions, even with a clown like Nia.

Not normally no but if you knew a move wasn't done right you might. I mean HBK yelled at vadar in the ring. Okay so she may not have said what I believed I heard her say but the point still stands IMO that Nia Jax is unsafe at times in the ring.

CastorTroy

And now she's in the MitB match. What could possibly go wrong?

The poor ladder.

She seems to wreck everyone, imagine the damage a ladder could do if she is the one setting it up?

There is an issue with how teeny a lot of the ladies are compared to her. I know likes of Rey have fought bigger guys safely but his skill level and ability to move is a lot greater than many of the ladies. How often do the smaller WWE girls even work against large opponents? When they work with men in training they are probably a lot more skilled than Nia so it is all a recipe for bad things to happen.

I can't stand Nia either but I don't think Kairi was saying "I'm not set". I think it was just random Japanese stuff, someone on Reddit said she was saying "Let go! Let go!"



Having heat with her is career suicide if you're not top tier. She's related to the Usos and Roman and Rock. WWE aren't gonna risk upsetting the Samoan clan.

It's the only reason her and Tamina are still employed.

Tamina is unrelated to the Rock.

Neither is roman and the rock and it doesn't seem to be a major issue.

Furious-Red

I love WWE's logic, a guy who loses his WM match its the first person to challenge for the WWE title ha

Agent Coulson

Joe back on commentary by popular demand.

PTH2009

Allister Black would be a good winner for the MITB but think it will be Brock (who attacks someone and takes there place) to win it

Chuck Noland

Zelina is money

That’s some outfit!

yep

Id say its awkward enough that her husband is right there and she cant mention it. Could be wrong but i think they mentioned it on an episode of 'Ride Along'

Such a pity Apollo is such a charisma vacuum as he has it physically.

Agent Coulson

God help us all when HHH actually takes over from Vince WWE will be renamed WWEHHH.

Maybe they should have MVP as his mouth piece

That's not a bad call actually MVP would be a good call for a manager for a number of them.


MVP's VIP Enterprises faction.

god help Nia Jax if she botches a move on Bazler

Agent Coulson

Loving Asuka so much poor Kairi

Jinder is back

so hes not the hacker then

Looks like he has a tag team now to be a mouth piece for.

And why have Akira Tozawa jobbbed out to Jinder Mahal of all people, when apparently he's been doing well in that NXT tournament. Was there literally nobody else available for Mahal to beat?

Stupid booking for me, you wouldn't see Ospreay getting pinned in a singles match to Bad Luck Fale or Yoshi Hashi during the BOSJ, WWE should keep their tournament participants looking strong too.

Tozawa is jobbing every week and only on the show because if his availability I imagine.

The White Wolf

Nothing against Liv but Riott jobbing cleanly to her two weeks in a row feels all kinds of wrong.

Sand or lime or?

J. Marston

Liv seems to be the internet's next pet project. I keep reading all about her "huge potential and star appeal" but I don't get it all.

The Rock missed a trick not having that as a t shirt

CastorTroy

I'm glad Liv moved away from the blond again.

When things begin to return to normal, will Zelina and her trio be rewarded for carrying the show? Though seems they're already heading towards breaking them up.
One of them to replace Apollo?

Seeing Jinder in the ring with Joe on commentary made me think it's messed up how one of those 2 was a WWE champion and it was the wrong one.

So why was the triple threat match thrown out? I'm sure Shayna and Asuka would have no problem continuing.

J. Marston

There was some sauce on that slap by Apollo to Andrade. Sounded a crack of thunder.

Probably would have been a better Carmella had Carmella not beat her to it, other than that I would still view Ruby as the one with most potential from the trio.

The Rock's Titan Games season 2 goes head to head with RAW on Monday nights when it starts back on May 25th.

PTH2009

Aj Styles returning tonight

Maybe a new Aj who fights on his own and doesnt need anyones help etc

PTH2009

Those exhumers done a great job of getting Styles out of the grave :D

CastorTroy

I thought the last chance was going to just be for the guys who lost their qualifiers.

Asuka is a modern day Julio Geordio.

Not a fan of Seth rambling

Lithium93_

Why did they edit Roman out of the MITB package last night?

CastorTroy

You saying Seth Rollins didn't come out during Brock's match with himself?

Someone said before that they're under orders not to mention Roman.

I see AJ was still wearing the OC gear. Are all the layoffs being ignored? AJ still wearing that, Sarah getting mentioned a number of times, Drake having matches

J. Marston

Raw feels like a dying show. Obviously it's due to the circumstances of the world right now but months and months of Zelina and Friends will do serious damage to the show.

Austin Theory is such an awful wrestling name, by the way.

I think zelina has come into her own during the lockdown era and her group have helped keep drew strong.

Since cancelling BT when the football ended we've all realised here we don't miss the WWE at all.

Between WWE leaving Sky and Liverpool looking like winning the league we really should have known the world was about to be turned upside down.

Raw 1.7m

All shows ratings dropping most weeks wrestling without crowds just doesn’t work as can be seen every Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights

PTH2009

Edge and Orton returning next week along with a Becky Lynch appearance

Really hope they dont continue Edge/Orton feud

Orton could challenge Drew for the title and maybe have Styles or Rollins feud with Edge

Knowing WWE Rollins could win the title at MITB

Agent Coulson

The Edge Orton thing makes no sense now after WM

Agent Coulson wrote: »

Yeah it was a really 'WTF was the about' advert

Could we get an apology and handshake from Orton with it possibly turning around again to be a double cross restarting the feud once again

Rated RKO reunion with them going up against the flavour of the month in Zelias gang ?

J. Marston

Edge going up against those absolute nobodies in an empty arena. Christ that would be grim.

Save Edge for big feuds.

Rumour mill going into overdrive. Pregnant? Injured? Off to Hollywood? Or WWE throwing something out to pop a rating?
