Kinda like Cedric and Ricochet as a team. Seen on Twitter that they're calling themselves "2 Fly." Got a nice ring to it.

Too good actually. Watch WWE mess that name up.

Baffled why Flair called up Shirai. Heel vs heel is ok wrestling wise but for storyline I dunno. Don't feed Io to Charlotte!

Atleast theyre getting the Rollins shot out of the way now

Yeah, I realize Rollins was probably the only real heel possibility they had for a feud with Drew.
On the other hand, Seth is going to lose two major feuds in a row. That's the end of the messiah angle then?

I would've liked a series of matches like last week against the Big Show. A little Cena US Championship challenge angle. Keep Drew strong en get other talent over. Have Seth build his character back up after his loss against KO by going up the ladder, so his cult only gets stronger. Then you have him think he can take the whole show over and go after Drew.

That's exactly what they should do. If Drew is gonna get over as a champion, gotta book him like Russo/WCW booked Booker T when he got the belt in 2000. A fighting champion that takes on all comers

And how far they go might fall on Zelina Vega's tiny shoulders. She's been doing a nice job managing them 1 at a time, but now she's got all 3 under her wing as their mouthpiece. Hopefully she can step up into this bigger role.

It seems like they're trying to find a role for MVP... why not have him be their manager? Of course, eventually he'd turn on them with a team from NXT.

I saw an article that said apparently WWE officials view Charlotte as a face. Dont see the NXT faithful following that thought process

Some things never change.
At this point, her theme song could be "I injure most girls."

Was she injured here?

Just goes to show... doesn't matter how unskilled you are. If you're related to Rock you've got a WWE job for life.

God, Nia Jax is such a terrible professional wrestler.

Seems like Nia is trying to work social media to take advantage of that smooth move - trying to build up for a match with Rhonda Rousey. Maybe it was her idea, maybe it was WWE's. Either way, I have no interest in watching Jax perform. https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2020/04/nia-jax-calls-out-ronda-rousey-on-twitter-again-669494/

It's so **** uncomfortable watching fans talk about the technical aspects of the wresting when they've never performed it.

I mean if Nia Jax didn't have a history of injuring people i'd give her the benefit of the doubt, honestly, either release her cause she's frankly rubbish as a monster (i mean she isn't strong, lets face it, she struggles to lift women who are about 100 lbs) and incredibly sloppy and dangerous in the ring or send her back to NXT to make sure she isn't a danger to anyone else or herself.

I completely agree.

Really can't buy the monster character when she's donning a dolled up look and being bitchy and mean girly. I don't get it.

Association to Bliss somehow hurt her

Man, no one's getting behind that. They're lucky no live audience will boo their ****

Oh yeah she's amazing as a manager, and credit to those 3, allowing her to build them up and not do too much (except for Theory with that backstage segment once).

If all things are the exact same, except Nia isn’t related to the Anoa’i family, what are the chances she’s employed by wwe?

For the life of me I don’t see what she brings to the table. No charisma, no athleticism, sloppy, reckless, can’t cut a promo. She’s instant change the channel heat with me.

Many are speculating that this whole thing with her being an unsafe wrestler is all part of a work. If that’s the case then WWE is heading down a PG Russo rabbit hole. There’s no need to blur the lines of reality and kayfabe. Everyone that still watches their product is aware that it’s not real. There’s no end game here for anyone that involves getting someone over.

For Nia’s sake, I do hope it’s a work. If not, the receipts are coming. Right now she’s protected, but eventually the company will sour on her and once that happens it’s gonna be a battle field. You can’t consistently hurt respected workers and then display a “lol” attitude about it without repercussions. To be honest, her getting potatoed would be just about the only allure of watching a Nia Jax match.
