Anybody surprised that Charlotte once again wins at a ppv? The female Cena

I don't like how often the Women's title changes.

i think this match showed that longer isn't always better. It was really far far FAR too long. They would have been better off with a 10 minute, match in which they went in hard and had a good competent match instead of dragging it out.

Also another title change, really. fire the people booking this, horrible job of booking this feud.

I predict Charlotte will lose the title soon on on an episode of Raw only to regain it at the next PPV

I had this view until the falls count anywhere match and then I finally got what they were going for. These two are completely evenly matched and anytime they meet its a pure toss-up so it only makes sense that they would trade wins

The post-match beat down seemed unnecessary for a couple reasons. For one, I think Jericho and Owens pulling the wool over or eyes is a strong enough close. Secondly, and more importantly, Reigns got such a thorough beat down that any outrage you would have about him losing the title is now gone because he got to exact his revenge

Zayn is perfect for one of these shows. He knows his character so well and how to use this environment to get himself and his program more over.

still them trading wins, apart from the one match, hasn't made this feud any more compelling. This feud has been on and off for ages and has been the only feud since the brand split.

Its time this feud is done and we can have a new challenger (Bayley) and have Charlotte retain till mania

I disagree, I think this is he best thing going in WWE right now or was I guess since its now over. The only problem is when you have a story where the story is that the two of them are even its all but impossible to have a truly definitive finish and while this is the end of this feud because that was what was said going into it but I don't think they've established that one of these two is definitively better than the other.

I really don't understand what they're doing just passing the belt back and forth between these two and how Sasha keeps winning the title yet looking weaker as a result since she loses every PPV to Charlotte. The storyline has been built okay, the matches have been solid but it's really not doing anything for either long-term.

Best moment of the show had to be Neville's heel turn. It could end up saving the cruiserweight division... I'd actually like to see WWE book another Sasha/Charlotte match and make it a storyline that the other women are annoyed with the focus being solely on them. Then you can potentially align those two for good or evil. It opens lots of potential feuds.

I hate it when things are so predictable that I can predict exactly what will happen next in a feud. The night Sasha won I even posted in the Raw thread that Charlotte would win the title back at the next PPV. It should not be that predictable

That tag match was unreal. I had goosebumps man.

Curious to see how it plays out with cesaro and sheamus. It looked like wwe is trying to get sheamus over... it'll never work that way. They need to embrace the love/hate

It would be nice to see some prime time champs retain clean a little more often. It feels like The disqualification retention is used like 85% of the time.

I totally agree. These 2 are the main reason I've been entertained by the WWE over the last several months. And it definitely made sense to trade off victories and have Charlotte the ultimate winner. The WWE got this one right. And I have never said anything like that about women's rassling before. Their series has clearly been ground-breaking. I just don't get people complaining about it as I thoroughly enjoyed their matchups.
