And in the background of most of the mathches you can see a young girl, probably 10-12 dressed up like Carmella with a sign that says "Moon-Walking, Trash-Talking" and it made me laugh and go "Man, kids are so weird, you never know who they're going to like." Like what would possess any young girl to be a huge Carmella fan?! About the only reason I could see is if they were in or around Staten Island. But that girl had a great big sign and was super-excited when Carmella came out. As a side bar, depending on how big of a fan they are, Carmella was shown to be Bayley's buddy both in character and in real life. If their parents are NXT fans, she would have had a lot of tv time as a babyface and aligned with Enzo and Cass who were a big time babyface act in NXT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Maryse was burning fire into Nikki while looking at her. God, I hope they win. Who gives a shit about the post match Cena proposing for tv stuff. Let Miz and Maryse have the win. Cena gets the mainstream press for his part and Miz makes the rest of us happy. It's win/win.

J.T. Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 After Nikki's in-ring preening and Cena's bullshit about the lack of children at Casa Miz, I'm really struggling to figure out who is supposed to be the heel in this match. If I were the Miz, I'd have bailed rather than fight, too. No way would I get to brawling in my really nice suit and risk injury a few days before WM. I was solidly pro-Cena before but now I really hope that the Miz breaks Cena's leg with the Figure Four. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Hmmm I think there's two reasons why people are rooting for Miz and Maryse. The first is they've been sooooo great leading up to this match. The second is that Cena and Nikki just aren't very likable babyfaces. This is an ongoing issue with WWE. Make no mistake, Cena had the crowd chanting his name this past week. He was awesome. But just before that the crowd was applauding Miz and Maryse for their skits. I don't think it's people are cheering for the heels. I think it's that nothing really makes Cena/Nikki the good guys... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I liked the segment between AJ Styles and Shane McMahon mainly for Styles saying this is a regular match, not the usual Shane O'Mac one. I also liked Miz TV with Miz/Maryse going up against John Cena/Nikki Bella. Miz/Maryse are really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Miz/Maryse and Nikki/John works because of "shades of grey!" No, Miz and Maryse are definitely not good. But they make great points. That Maria and Kelly back up Maryse's claim that the Bellas sabotaged other women indicates she's probably telling the truth. Nikki 100% has used her relationship with Cena to advance herself. Miz is perhaps right that Cena hasn't ever really treated Nikki properly. But Cena is also right to be pissed at them getting judgemental about his personal life. Maryse was wrong to taunt Nikki about the baby thing. Everyone involved is unlikable but strangely sympathetic at the same time. They are all, um, complicated, three-dimensional people? When a Russo-style feud actually is intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got stung by a single bullet ant when I spent a few months in a cabin in the Colombian jungle (long story). If the tarantula hawk is right behind that, count me in as frightened to the point of 'I'll trip my wife if it means that I don't get stung' of them too. Life goals. I assume this included gang warfare, machine guns and avenging someone's death. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I'm pretty sure it was already mentioned, but I laughed heartily when John Cena was going on and on about the Women's revolution, and how women could main event, and do this and that... except apparently share promo time with John Cena, as Nikki just smiled and nodded her head. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ray Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 1 minute ago, L_W_P said: I cant get behind Cena and Nikki because they have only been an on screen couple for what... 2 months? Miz and Maryse have years of history. Remember him learning French to try and impress her? They are a couple that I believe met, courted, fell in love and got married. Cena and Nikki feel like they have been thrown together for a storyline. If they had been an onscreen couple since Nikki's comeback it would be fine. Shit the Lita/Trish/Jericho/Christian saga was a million times more believable than this and that actually was a storyline! but this is for reals and they have been a couple on total divas since 2013.

Looking back at that you might as well CGI fireworks and hearts all around them as that happened, loved that moment. The fact their love story started as they were both trying to make their way up the ladder is quite something. And that's another reason why I'll always cheer for Miz/Maryse over Cena/Nikki. No matter what slimeball tactic they try it's just so damn easy to love and appreciate Miz/Maryse for being a married couple so obviously in love with each other. It's sweet and knowing what shit Miz had to go through I very much want to see him beat the piss out of Cena. And I'm hoping Maryse learned a few things because I'd like her to do the same to Nikki. I can kind of see Nikki's points and if it was one-on-one it might be more evenly matched. But Cena shitting on them that way hurt the match big-time. If they beat them then they beat two useless people so they gain nothing except maybe a marriage proposal. If they really have to win then at least have Miz/Maryse beat the shit out of them anyway so they can have some semblance of credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
