Would they have the balls to have Becky win this and also win the Rumble?

Imagine. Title v Title. The Champ Champ.

Sounds nice yeah, but kayfabe wise how is she allowed in the Rumble? A current champion hasn’t ever been allowed in so very hard to justify it

Ah hogan was in the Rumble as champion in 1990. Why did the screen do black ?

The new era and all that bollox that the McMahons promised!

I’m fully expecting a count out or DQ here though so doubt it’ll be a problem.

GSPfan

God that looked rough.

I reckon a tit popped out

Great match

J. Marston

I love when wrestlers steal each other's finishers.

martyos121

Asuka wins with Cattle Mutilation!

Did not expect that

brianregan09

oh wwe.......

Lithium93_

That was a great opener.

Itssoeasy

great match from two very good wrestlers.

SureYWouldntYa

Very surprised to see Becky tap

Even if she doesn’t end up in the Rumble, can’t believe that

GSPfan

Wow. Putting Asuka over clean is great for Asuka. Really maintain ms legitimacy for that title.

Becky is favourite for that Rumble now.

Loughc

Wow. Can’t believe they made Becky tap out. Great
Match. But Becky looked weak there with that finish now.

J. Marston

Really good match. Slick finisher from Asuka.

What now for Becky?

Itssoeasy

I could watch Becky and Asuka wrestle all day.

PTH2009

Hopefully Becky enters the rumble but have a feeling she wont

martyos121

I must be one of the few who thinks that’s the last we’ll see of Becky tonight.

ricero

That Paige film looks the drizzling ****s

Women’s wrestling is very submission heavy so it’s not the same as the men being submitted in my view.
Delighted they did that for Asuka.

Muff_Daddy

Would have been much better if she passed out, and had to be helped to the back. It could have worked with that cool looking submission.

The tapping out was unnecessary.

how did she look weak ?


So the four horsewomen are in paige's film then ?

I actually prefer this ending... I think. Definitely not the Last we will see of Becky tonight. Very very interested in how they are going to do this. Perhaps that's a way to end the Becky smack down championship chase. Leave that for night of champions.

Deeper Blue

Why even have Becky in the title match if she was losing? Rubbish booking

J. Marston

She tapped pretty quick too, which makes it worse.

PTH2009

Here's jumpy Shane

Tapping clean makes her look weak and goes against her whole The Man gimmick. It should have been a Austin style pass out if they wanted her to lose to submission.

Loughc

Looks like it’s going to be 0-3 for the Irish tonight me thinks.

Cotts72

Lynch definitely looked weak there, as mentioned passing out would have sold it more... Only a rumble win can salvage that!

If the bar lose this then i give up

If she had tapped out on the first submission attempt by Asuka then yes I'd agree, but the fact that it went back and forth. The austin pass out shouldn't be used in that situation IMO.

To put Auska over and make her look strong getting a clean win against the most popular wrestler on the roster currently. Now if she doesn't win the rumble and challenge Ronda it will be rubbish booking, if she does win it then it was good to make Auska look strong while Becky moves to Raw.

Agent Coulson

Becky lost and we all lost out on the nip slip when the blacked out the screen.


Booo

Auska is a total babe.


Fcuk off back to China Shane.

But how is Becky a threat to Ronda now when she can’t survive Asuka’s submissions?

If she never tapped they could go the route of how tough she is and can Ronda even make her tap?

Would it? She can't beat Asuka, why would we believe she take on the all-conquering Rousey?

That loss really hurt the character.

But Ronda wouldn't have to get her to tap out if she just passes out again.

did we ? I was wondering why the screen went black for.

Alfred Borden

If Lynch wins the rumble, would she not challenge Asuka now?

GSPfan

Jesus lads there is no way they can have the women not tapping as most finishers are submissions.
It’d ruin all of their finishers if they started doing that. Putting Asuka over clean will be forgotten about if she wins the Rumble and puts her sights on Ronda.

Asuka and Charlotte then will have a legitimate feel to it instead of being the B belt.

seandotcomm

Shane O'Mac's punches look like they would hurt less than a nice hug from Bayley

You said she should have passed out. The Austin pass out was because he was bleeding and when you lose blood you can pass out. Becky wasn't busted open so what would the pass out be blamed out ?

PTH2009

There's no mania sign apparently

Being choked the f out?!?

Then they could least say the man would rather pass out than tap out.

Will they just point at fireworks tonight so?

Itssoeasy

Shane Mcmahon has been wrestling for 20 years and behind the scenes before that he was around some of the punchers in pro wrestling history and yet he still can't even throw a somewhat believable punch.

seandotcomm

it'll be an augmented reality sign, lol. you'll need an app to see it

J. Marston

I liked that Asuka and Becky were legit slapping the shít out of each other. Women's striking can look iffy some of the time.

Itssoeasy

where is the big tall adams family looking lad in the front row tonight ?

d00mk1n

Can’t have Lynch pass out then sprint down the ramp later that night. Not with the concussion stuff going on...
