They're basically doing exactly what they did with Strowman the first time they put him against Reigns. The crowd wanted nothing to do with Reigns and so they joyously cheered whenever Strowman beat his ass, and thus Strowman became the most over face in the company largely for destroying Reigns in hilarious ways every week. Now the same thing is happening with Becky.

I'm sure they'll capitalize on it this time.
And she's in the B Show, no way they can screw this up.

The question should never be, "Will WWE screw it up?"

It should always be: "How will they screw it up?"

Or when will they?
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

Ah **** that's true. Totally forgot about Asuka and Roode, to name a few SDL flops.

Yes. Becky is way hotter than Sable was, and Sable was only on TV because she was "hot".

wait, what is this angle, a 3 way mix gender feud? Brie Bella is diva levels of bad (actually worse) and the other two aren't that good (i mean they're certainly below the average woman's wrestler of today).

Also for a wrestling show, their was surprisingly little, wrestling (like what, 20 minutes in total for a 2 hour show).

The Womans match was rubbish, Asuka really should have asked for that release because damn, being relegated to Naomi's sidekick, it doesn't get much worse.

Still though, 3 way tag was good (Rusev Day won which is good, make them feud with the New Day, will be glorious).

Charlotte vs Becky is on the right track finally. No faces or heels, just two former besties wanting to beat each other up and prove they're the best.

And AJ vs Joe, on paper, this storyline is dumb as hell, but Samoa Joe and AJ for that matter are so convincing that its working (This is peak TNA in terms of story, but its so entertaining).

Asuka strikes me as being thrilled to be in WWE. They use her for a lot of promotional things. I doubt she leaves because her character has hit a boring spot.

Holy ****, the R-Truth storyline in this episode was so **** smart. They need to do things like that more often.

At least he has a valid excuse, language barrier, not really his fault. What's the Bellas, Natalya, and Roman Reigns' excuse?

Reigns doesn't come off as particularly likable but his real problem isn't that he's a bad talker, which he's not, but that he's a bad talker by the standards of a top babyface

Wow an R-Truth vs. Miz main event in 2018 I know it was to further the Daniel Bryan storyline but damn. Speaking
of that I'm enjoying Bryan vs. Alams way more than Bryan vs. Miz but don't let Andrade speak until his english improves
vastly.

Why don't they just make Mix-Matched Tag-Tittles instead of having these pointless tournaments? Nothing came out
of the first one so what's the point of watching another one?

WWE is just going through the motions right now just thinking the fans will gobble anything up they're probably right....

Completely forgot about Asuka till she ran into the ring to save Naomi... Also whatever happened to Shinske?

Think I saw a promotional vid with Shin saying he doesn't want to defend the title.

His problem is that he's a relatively bad talker surrounded by a dozen other guys who are so much better than he is both on the mic and in the ring, yet he's the one who gets pushed to the moon. Yeah, he's not as bad as people who barely speak English, but that's not really a point in his favor imo.

Honestly, I really enjoyed the mixed match challenge last year. It was fun, it let people go out of character a little bit, the promo videos were usually funny. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Vince is reportedly super high on Andrade, that's exciting.
