  1. Reminder that they’re two days out from HIAC and have three matches booked. Three. On a more positive note, I thought it was nice having the opening segment about Becky and the opening tag match giving Charlotte spotlight. They’ve both been central in Fox’s advertising/promotion so it felt fitting.
  2. Interesting that they gave Becky/Sasha so much time tonight and still haven’t announced a SDL women’s match for HIAC.
  3. She did a full run-in in heels on the 7/31/18 SDL which started the build to her and Becky’s feud last year.
  4. Kinda odd that both hometown stars lost in such short matches.
  5. As much as smarks mock “You’re the real big dog, Roman”, Seth’s has way more of those moments, and he’s still, well, Seth. As for Bayley, it was basically the first time she’s worked heel since her indie days, so I can see how it was refreshing.
  6. That was a good episode though I feel the 4HW should have main-evented. Was nice seeing the crowd getting into Charlotte working face, and Bayley sold Natural Selection like a champ.
  7. She is now. She wasn't for a couple of months even while fans cheered everything she did.
  8. Wrestling fans in 2019 love ‘shocking’ moments and thus love heel turns. The dynamic helped Becky last year too, in honesty—as they rode the momentum and gave her a huge push. I’m curious how this affects the Bayley/Charlotte story.
  9. I’m not going to say Sasha did great out there, but I’m unsure how Becky crapping on her promo abilities (without even responding to anything Sasha said) does anything to help the feud or her opponent.
  10. Charlotte’s twitter game is underrated.
  11. Charlotte and Roman are both really good at making their opponents look strong in defeat, and I'm glad Ember and Buddy got showcase matches to show off their abilities. (Drew/Cedric from Raw last night was another nice example of this type of match.) Disappointed that Shane/KO is still going on, but otherwise, good episode!
  12. She worked heel for 10 minutes in the 2018 Royal Rumble.
  13. And it was under 10 minutes! I enjoyed it for what it was.
  14. That Twisted Bliss wasn’t flying, it was falling with style. Also, I’m enjoying the Bliss/Cross team and think they and the IIconics did pretty well on the preshow. It’s good having characters who aren’t just ‘childhood dream’.
  15. It makes sense, but given WWE went out of their way to pretend that loss didn’t even happen, (they aired an Asuka hype video a couple of weeks later and didn’t even acknowledge the match at all). I suspect it’s something smarks see as a bigger deal than WWE.
  16. In fairness, using Summerslam as the angle kickoff (though it’d been building a couple of weeks prior) last year worked great for Becky.
  17. How now, brown cow? Also, Kairi’s timing was unfortunately off in that tag match.
  18. Interestingly including a reference to the knee to Ronda from that police brawl segment on the Mania go-home Raw.
