NoFistsJustFlips Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Belt swaps are dumb as fuck. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here. But wrestling is a scripted simulated sporting event, in what world does this make even the slightest bit of sense?

Kang Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 They swapped the belts, Charlotte is now 12 times women's champ. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Sasha Banks is such an abysmal promo. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her come off as anything but forced. Ugh. It’s bad when Charlotte isn’t the worst interview in a given segment. The women’s division is so, so bad right now, and there are a dozen fresh faces they could use to rescue it, but they won’t, because Johnny Ace and Podcast Prichard are fucking clueless.

Peck Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 FUN show. Brock unintentionally ripping Pearce's pants made that segment so much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there were rumblingz that the women’s roster were concerned because Johnny was back and he has some influence over the direction of that division. Who really knows, though… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The opening segment with Brock, Roman, and co. was fun if a little long. Woods' coronation was nice. I would have preferred they had Naomi beat Sonya's ass when she confronted her. I do like how Sonya has been as a heel. Hit Row came off as stars in their debut. Seems like they told who would matter among the new people with short promos or hype vids. I kind of skipped around most everything else. I'm in the crew that dislikes title switching as it just feels dumb. I'm not mind numbingly angry about it, but I can't be bothered with it. Guess Sasha/Charlotte is the next women's title feud. The matches should be good, but both are such heels at the moment its hard to be excited. Wish they had built up Toni or Shotzi to challenge instead.

Eivion Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I ff through the last segment so I didn't really pay attention to what she was wearing. Was it anymore standout than what Zelina wore on Raw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Yeah listen.. i've been complaining about the belt swap thing for a couple weeks but WWE is usually going to go with the LEAST interesting option.. it's just who they are. Be glad that Big E has a cool little title run. Be glad that Woods got his king of the ring dream fulfilled. Be glad that they finally gave Zelina something to do because these are rare occurrences. The booking is still very poor.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 There was fifteen minutes of actual bell to bell wrestling on this show. Twenty Five, if you count match time during commercial breaks that we can't see (although why would you?). 15 minutes, across like 4 matches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She cuts fine promos sometimes but she's only going to be as good as the material she's given. She doesn't have to cut great promos because she has a star presence and she's one of the best wrestlers on the roster. The crowd is going to be into what she's doing regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) Saw this on twitter. I'll have to watch the whole thing since I missed it. Basically Becky and Charlotte got into a real thing over this. https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2021/10/23/22741602/report-charlotte-flair-becky-lynch-backstage-confrontation-womens-title-exchange-swap-smackdown Edited October 23, 2021 by Phantom Lord 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
