WWE Evolution - 10/28/2018


Dolfan in NYC

Recommended Posts

Okay guys, everyone knows that the WWE doesn't plan the vast majority of things out until a month or two in advance.  This PPV will be absolutely fine.   

They've got a month to build a PPV, which is more than enough.  The 7 matches are set (MYC finals, legends vs. currents) or have distinct possibilities based on what we believe is going to happen in Australia  (Flair/Lynch 3, Ronda/Nikki, Sane/Baszler,  NXT UK spoiler vs. NXT UK spoiler).  The rest of the women will get on the show, probably in the long-rumored Women's tag title tournament, maybe a #1 contender match, and some other gimmick match to round out the card.  

Boom, it's done.   

Stop setting up a mental self-fulfilling prophecy because they're not moving fast enough for you.

The problem with running this show is that 90% of the women are presented as mid-carders at best, and they haven't done anything to change that perception in the build-up to the show.[...]

 

Not to take away from your point, but this seems to be a general WWE problem.

I'm kind of disappointed they made Nikki/Ronda so fast. Was hoping we would see Corbin or Steph gift the match to her after the attack.

I'm glad they changed Trish and Lita's matches to tags. I never had much faith in the singles matches.

With this though the official matches are back down to 3 (is there a reason Dolphin hasn't added Kairi vs. Shayna?). Was really hoping they would have a little more already on the table considering there are supposed to be 50 women on the show.

They hype and build-up is spread across RAW, Smackdown and NXT so (as it stands right now) they have 8 shows left to create the card before the 28th.

I'm assuming the stipulation for Becky/Charlotte will be announced on SDL.

The problem is NXT is already taped so if there is anything beyond the already announced Kairi/Shayna it will just be semi-random segments..

becky vs. Charlotte is happening on SDL. I suppose if we get a fuck finish they will announce a final match, but still I do wish they would stop overkilling things with these rematches.

Trish Stratus vs. Alexa Bliss and Mickie James vs. Lita getting turned into a tag match (Holla Holla!)  also makes a renewal of the Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James feud from 2006. Everyone remembers THAT gesture by Mickie James at WrestleMania 22.

Per Meltzer - the plan was always to do a tag. They announced Trish vs. Alexa in the hopes it would sell tickets since they couldn't announce Ronda/Nikki ahead of time.

It just also happens to work out that Alexa is gimpy and Trish and Lita are rusty as all get out.

So they announced a match to sell tickets knowing they weren't going to deliver on that match? Nice.

Welcome to the WWE of the last.... well forever

I am still wondering what they do about the NXT UK Title.

They have a woman who is champ who has defended the title at Florida NXT house shows but her win has never been aired.

I am assuming they are going to just pretend they never said the NXT UK Title was too be defended

Not if you bought the DVD and never saw the show live. I don't know if it is on youtube but Daizee Haze has a super fun take on the Gesture.
