    She's been coming out in the "kid size" tank since the indies, I believe. I get it doesn't appeal to you, but it's a part of her "ballsy bad ***" gimmick.

    I just wish they'd give her wins and a meaningful feud, so the audience can really get behind her.

      They're definitely the weakest promoted matches on the card, yeah.

      Rhea/Charlotte peaked with Rhea's promo explaining how she wants to avenge her loss from a few WMs ago. It's a pretty straightforward goal but they still had six weeks to kill, so we get this generic distraction stuff they're doing to fill time.

      Asuka/Bianca...who the **** knows? Have they even done one segment to explain why Asuka changed her look? I can't remember one. Do some vignettes, have her kill some jobbers, etc. She's just coming out with a painted face and drooling blue mist.

        I have my doubts about Dom long-term too, but we gotta see the follow-up to this father-son feud. For me, the things holding him back still are inexperience (will improve with time, hopefully) and his physique.

        I know they wanted Rey/Dom on the main roster, but I wonder how things could've gone if Rey went down to NXT for a bit to be in a mentor role for the younger talent and Dom goes down to learn at the PC.

          Bianca is boring as hell and she has been in every single thing she’s done outside of the feuds with Becky. She 1000% needs a great heel to carry her boring ***. Asuka certainly isn’t it. Should have had Rhea go after her instead.

            Things probably would've been better that way too.

            Rhea goes after Bianca, with the story going all the way back to the NXT days and trying to prove who is THE present/future of the division.

            Asukas new character could go after Charlotte, going back to when Charlotte beat her and broke her streak at WM, so now this new meaner and darker Asuka wants to write her wrongs of the past and prove this is a new Asuka by going after the top woman, the one who started it all.

              Plus you could have Montez and Dawkins get involved to push back the Judgement Day. Hell even have Judgment day try and recruit Montez because the “Dawkins is holding you back” is pretty much writing itself at this point. I’d rather have Priest and Finn involved in that story than Finn with Edge AGAIN and Priest with nothing to do.

                This fantasy booking I could get behind, TBH.

                Bianca as the conquering, "Super Cena" esque babyface has ran it's course. She proved in NXT that she can be more interesting as a heel, unfortunately, she's fallen into the Hogan/Cena style of booking a babyface. [emoji2377]

                  She could still wind up a heel eventually anyways, but this WM I hope we see both women's titles change hands. The way the WM card is, I wonder if Cody will try for a pic similar to 2012 when you had the likes of Cody,Airboom,Beth,Ryder and others all as champs in WWE. We have a potential for WM to end with Cody,Gunther,Theory,Rhea,Asuka,Owens/Zayn to all be champs after this (with names like Reigns,Cena,Charlotte among the names losing).



                  Would've loved having Bayley be the one to dethrone Bianca though, which set up Bayley vs Becky for the title at WM, but I'd settle for Asuka winning it and holding it for a while.

                        Ric Flair announcing the next HOFer on the bump this week.

                        I don't think it would be Batista? Although Batista and Rey going in together would be fitting. Two headliners would be an interesting induction this time around.


                        Either that or its some celeb that Flair has ties to.

                          Rey and Batista are former tag team champions together. So wouldn't surprise me if they did it. Also considering Batista was supposed to go in back in 2020 before COVID hit I'm sure they're ready to get him in there finally.

                            Maybe we’re just skipping ahead and getting Charlotte out of the way now.

                                Charlotte will be the first HOFer in WWE history who will continue being a full time WWE superstar years after their HOF induction.

                                Nobody will top that.
