Just do Becky/Lita/Trish vs Damage CTRL, no?

It’s worse lately. I don’t know if it’s just bad pacing on their part or if they/USA have more sponsors to fit now, but yeah. There’s always a mid-match break that kills a lot of momentum, but they do not usually have breaks both before and after entrances. Three breaks within 15 minutes just about killed my interest in the match.

Becky vs Lita at Wrestlemania, the redo from last year, at least we can do that so I can remember that match instead of the weird kick out of the Litasault.

I actually never watched that match and now I want to just to see what “the weird kick out of the Litasault” means.

They know they got the hooks in us with the Road to Wrestlemania. I figured it had to be above average though, because yeah the pacing is just entirely off.

I just watched it again, and it just looks like a combo weird cover/weird kick out, but mostly it's just a remnant of my more nitpicky era of wrestling fandom.

That would work too. Didn't know if Trish is competing or not.

Maybe Becky/Lita vs Iyo/Kai for the tag titles, but it ends in a DQ or Bayley helping them retain. Which sets up the need for a 3rd.

Even if it's for a few weeks, I'd love seeing Trish/Lita getting the tag titles.

Yeah, I have no idea - it's a total guess on my part. Since they usually like to pair Trish and Lita together I just figured if one showed up the other can't be too far behind.

Yeah, she is the female John Cena or NXT-era Bayley. I enjoy her in-ring work so it doesn't bother me.

(Bayley was more of underdog character who had to work her way to the top. Still, her gimmick and character was definitely meant for younger girls. Like Liv Morgan (sort of) and Nikki A.S.H.)

They do need to add another layer to her character at some point, though.

I thought her coming in as a monster heel that slowly turns babyface (ala Batista) was the better move. Instead, they kept her cold for a few months (after her initial debut), then strapped a rocket to her and the rest is history.

Becky/Lita/Trish vs Damage Ctrl would work for Montreal, sure it's not Toronto but it's still Canada. As for Wrestlemania, yeah it does seem odd that Bayley & Becky wouldn't have a title match. Unless you drag it out to Wrestlemania and it ends in Hell In A Cell or something.

Heyman doesn’t even need to speak, just put the camera on his facial expressions and it’s the best segment of the show

Gah damn, everything with this Bloodline/Reigns/Sami **** is gold. I haven't looked this forward to wrestling **** since the YES! movement.


I don't ever want Reigns as a face: whatever this era in wrestling is considered, he's a GOAT heel.
