Kind of an underwhelming card. They sort of booked themselves into a corner by putting on a niche event (in the sense that it only utilizes a small slice of the roster - one that is still trying to develop mega-stars) based around a concept (and Stephanie's ego) rather than a big match or demand. Rousey v Bella - good grief, guys.

I do think this will be a great show though. The diversity on the card is unique for a WWE show and I think every match will feel different from the last.

Looking forward to seeing Kairi, Shayna and Io on a big stage.

This show should end with Ronda winning, Baszler coming out to congratulate her, and then choking her out as she goes to leave the ring and leaving her there unconscious.

Would be a great way to call her up to the main roster and the start of a decent feud.

And they could still do the MMA girls vs. the WWE horsewomen at Survivor Series if they wanted and just use the story of how both teams have a lot of bad blood on them (Charlotte/Becky, Sasha/Bayley, and Rousey/Baszler). Could even have that play into the outcome of the match. Maybe Baszler walks out on Ronda and leaves her high and dry, giving the WWE girls the win.

Even though it's not a perfect card, it still can be a special one - with the Mae Young final, Kairi Sane vs Shayna Baszler should be amazing, and Lynch vs Flair in this setting could be a classic - regardless of how many times they have and will go against each other. And Lita and Trish coming back is a cool thing. And the Battle Royal could have some surprises.

I think it will largely come down to whether Triple H's crew is running the show or Vince's. As is the case with most WWE stuff. When the NXT guys run the show, it's usually awesome. When Vince is in charge, it usually sucks.

Becky-Charlotte better main event.

What are you saying to this roster if they don't?

Ronda Rousey is main eventing, no question about it

Rousey is main eventing against a part timer. Slap in the face to the actual wrestlers on the card.

Becky/Charlotte should main event and end with the double turn ala Hart/Austin.

OT- What do you consider the greatest women's feuds of all time? My top 5:

1) Sasha/Bayley in NXT
2) Sasha/Charlotte on Raw
3) Becky/Charlotte current day
4) Trish/Mickie end of attitude era
5) Sasha/Becky in NXT

That's an insult to the entire roster and Ronda should use all the pull she has to change it.

Ronda and Nikki are actual wrestlers. Their individual worthiness is not in question here.

Both provide value but it's so obvious to have Becky and Charlotte main event. It's the first womens ppv and they have the hottest feud in years. No one is buying the wwe network because of Ronda and Nikki and if anyone is they won't care if they're not the main event. Reward the women who have put in the work over the years

We agree. Putting Becky-Charlotte in any position other than the main event tells every woman on the roster that they'll always be behind Rousey.

Also, Becky-Charlotte is probably going to be the longest match, and Rousey-Bella relatively short. Why have the latter go on last?

And the first thing we hear is Stephanie. Of course.

Lol, I'm already salty. They should be treating this like Wrestlemania, not like they're fulfilling a collective make-a-wish.
