I guess Gail vs Maria was as good as we were gonna get lol Speaing of Gail, I enjoyed her induction and it was really cool to see Kong and Taryn come back to give her props. Been a Gail fan for a while so this was definitely well deserved, IMO

lol In the tradition of the BFFs

Always good to see Madison again and I am digging what I am seeing of the Laurel Van Ness character so far. As a whole, I have enjoyed Maria and her harem. If TNA does indeed die, it will be shame that it would happen before Allie really gets a chance to break out. I remember enjoying Reby Sky feuding with Jessicka Havok in Shine. But I hadn't seen her wrestle since then and that was years ago. I did like what little we got of her vs Rosemary though and the table dive was killer. Courtney Rush must be having a ball with this role.

Mandy Rose is gonna be good with more time. I'm so here for the eventual Ember/Asuka showdown.

I dug the women's tag too and I like the little mini feud that Naomi and Nattie are selling as well. The ending surprised me though. At this point, Nikki HAS to beat Carmella at the PPV. The show could have used a little more Becky and Alexa but it's all good especially if we get a six ladies tag next week. Hint hint lol

Are the Cruiserweights now the new Divas? Still bored by Sasha/Charlotte. Was really hoping it was Emma that came out to interrupt the champ's speech. Just anything other than what we've been getting for the last few weeks now.

She's been okay in tag matches and shorter singles matches, where she can be protected. Other than that, she's been pretty bad in-ring wise. But I do agree that she has been good with the character stuff and is a good second. I really hope that's the role they keep her in and don't push ahead with a possible face turn. That's gonna be nothing but a disaster.

It was still a glorified squash but it was cool to see Alicia get in as much offense as she did. I figured it would be more of a Jax steamrolling. While I enjoy all of the wrestlers involved individually, I am so bored by the Charlotte/Sasha/Bayley rehash that they are serving. The match itself was okay although, given the stipulation, it made no sense that Dana not be involved like 99.9% of the time. I would honestly like to see Charlotte move on to another challenger. The problem is that there is no one else on Raw and nothing to do for either Sasha or Bayley. So I unfortunately see this dragged out for a few more months.

Cool to see Billie Kay back to winning. This had to be Aliyah's best showing yet. She looked pretty good.

Another good week for Smackdown. I echo the love for the Heel Usos. This turn was exactly what they needed. From the look to the promos to the attitude, they are killing it and you just root to see them get their asses beat lol The Smackdown women are of course killing it again too. Enjoyed the Becky/Alexa promo, complete with cheap shot from the challenger before getting chased off. The PPV match should be good. Kinda sucks that we didn't get that Nattie/Carmella vs Naomi/Nikki tag but it helped progress the Nikki/Carmella feud, which I am really digging, so I'm not too mad. And cool to see Naomi get some mic time.

I don't know why but I'm pretty much bored by this Sasha/Bayley/Charlotte/Dana storyline. It's all starting to feel kinda been there done that. The Cruisers were great as expected. Looking forward to the title match at Clash.

I honestly don't see that big of a difference in skill sets. If anything, I think the Divas (Nikki, Naomi, Fox, etc) have really stepped it up. Or it could be that the "Revolution/Evolution" has allowed more eyes on what previously used to be ignored.

I dig Alicia too. But I don't think creative has anything major planned for her. Plus, from all I've heard, she's just happy to have the opportunity and doesn't really push for much backstage. I'm happy that Paige is coming back but also wish it was on Smackdown. It's the far better showcase for the women.

Another fun match with the women. The women's division on Smackdown is just more interesting than what's going on with Raw.

Yea, she took that like a champ.

Yikes. RIP, Foxy. I'm not sure where they're going with Dana Brooke but it all feels too soon too fast.

I don't think the Revolution was meant to crap on those other women but it did. Everything that came from it, including the factions and added importance, only came about because they brought those women up. Prior to that, creative didn't give a damn about the women already there, working hard to win the crowd despite the 3 minute matches and idiotic booking. Look at the two women's Mania matches and the focus they got. Night and day. Having said that, things feel better now but there was definitely a feeling of "the Horsewomen....and them" when this all first began.

I enjoyed the six pack challenge and thought all six women really brought it. Some really cool spots and the crowd dug it.

I am digging the SDL women's roster as well. It reminds me of the early Knockouts Division, where every woman had a clear, defined, and different look/persona. And each wrestler is pretty much hitting their marks with the character stuff. Carmella was just made to be a heel and I agree that the submission win worked well, especially with Nikki's neck injury history. I'm looking forward to the 6 pack challenge. I think it has the chance to be the sleeper match.

I'm here for the return of Unhinged Alicia. I'm also curious to see how they book her now that there's an Evolution~! going on. Back in the day, Nia would have killed her in a 2 minute match where 1 minute was entrances.

Heel Carmella is so much more interesting than Face Carmella. I'm looking forward to the women's title match at Backlash. I would be okay with any of the women involved winning although Naomi is my biased favorite.

LOL Maryse is a savage

Man, that Knockouts match was just an overbooked mess. But I can overlook it since they're going somewhere with the Allie storyline. But what happened to all of their entrance themes!?! That Madison went from Killer Queen to that is a crime lol

I love that creative decided to just turn Carmella after she hasn't been getting the reactions they hoped. It was a cool and unexpected surprise from a company that can be a little too predictable. Plus, I can get behind heel Carmella much more than I can face Carmella. Becky and Alexa had a good little match.

God bless the Smackdown Women. They really came to work but the crowd just didn't care at that point. I will say that having Nikki back is cool and I dig the new finisher. I was too worried about Sasha to really enjoy the Women's Title match.
