Love Rhea Ripley and think she makes perfect sense to take the title off shayna

Rhea is amazing and there is no doubt about it but recently i came to know from this article that she is only 22 years old and the second youngest wrestler in the wwe today! Honestly i thought she was 25 or something lol

Anybody here in the mindset that they take the NA title off Velveteen on USA to push the UE holding all the titles storyline?

Not sure how that dynamic will go though. Can't see VD chasing his NA title back, doesn't really feel underdog to me. And the rest of UE will most probably interfere in every match their comrades will be competing against. Once 205 and NXT UK will be under one umbrella, I think Dream will move on from a storyline involving UE.

If UE holds all titles though, I can imagine a stable being formed to take them down. Not feeling a DIY reunion for that. Perhaps SAnitY will be reformed? British Strong Style with McIntyre (I could imagine this can work considering his history with UE)?

No BS in that main event this week. Nothing either woman does looks fake. The Takeover match is going to be good.

Good first hour, letting the wrestling shine and be the main focus.

Not too bad. Will be more well received IMO when SD moves to friday. I think people are just wrestled out by tonight after having already endured 5 hours of wrestling in the last 48 hours

Still waiting on someone to sell me on Adam Cole. Very good wrestler naturally but the roster is full of those. I don’t see him as anything more than a modern day Ziggler on the main roster. Same for the rest of UE. Just a bunch of small guys to me.

Red Dragon is fine for the tag team division, but yea the other two as single wrestlers have a limited ceiling IMO

Very average performance by Velveteen Dream.

Called that one. Figured they'd take the belt off him and give it to Roddy to fulfill the prophecy but yeah he was blah. Hope that wasn't result of knowing he was losing the belt. He doesn't strike me as the type to mail it in. I am intrigued to see what they do with him now though.

Not sure you can bring up one without all 4 members. I don't know if they survive without being the entire unit.

Cole is very good but he's at his best in this current role.

This IO program had to build to something. I think LaRae gets closer than anyone else has with this underdog story until Shirai wrecks it for her forcing her back into that program to "finish" that rivalry while Bazler goes into the program with Rhea and eventually loses the belt to her.

Anybody liked how Walter's crew was brought into the mix?

Hopefully. Just didn't make sense that no follow up was done the week after Ripley went at Baszler.

I do. But I hope they make them legit. I mean as wrestling purists, how can you not love a stable honoring the sanctity of the sport? Heel or face, doesn't matter.
