I don't understand the decision to have Asuka go over Becky cleanly. How does this make the ensuing Becky vs Ronda more exciting?

Because Asuka isnt a true heel, much like Becky. Becky can afford the clean loss.

Losing due to cheating or other wouldn't make much sense with either character right now.

Maybe. I get it. It just seemed odd that is the finish they went with (Having her tap out instead of a roll up of sorts or something) while Becky is red hot right now and they're trying to build this match up with Ronda as a dream match. One that's been brewing for some time.

Seth vs Lesnar is set for WrestleMania, as is Ronda vs Becky. I'd assume Lashley vs a returning Kevin Owens and maybe Daniel Bryan vs Rey Mysterio?

The aura of champion vs champion was already loss when Asuka won the triple threat match weeks ago, so this one match didnt hurt Becky as much as one would think. Becky is still red hot and her inclusion into the rumble itself stil showed that regardless of her loss.

Now the question is will Charlotte be included in this WM match. Ronda still owes her payback for the Survivor match.

Right. I never expected a champion vs champion match. I just feel there were better ways to protect Becky rather than have her tap out while your building her up for a dream match 6 months in the making. Asuka could have won with a surprise roll up or a surprise reversal pin which is generally what they do when they wanna protect someone. I'm not so much disagreeing with the loss, just the way it was executed. It is what is though.

I do know that a triple threat was a rumored match I saw days ago. It wouldnt surprise me. All three have heat with each other and your getting the three biggest fish of the women's division in on one match in the company's biggest ppv.

No Charlotte, no triple threat please, unless they create a Women's I.C belt, she needs to stay away from the title picture for a while. I was disappointed that Becky still hasn't got a good beat down on Nia after that punch.

I disagree with everyone on the previous pages, Nia entering the Mens rumble, beating down a few guys, then getting destroyed had me Sports Entertained.

Mick Foley's daughter is so damn fine

Good PPV from start to finish. Really wanted Balor to win the title or at least be the one to attack R-Truth and come out as Demon Balor and win.

I figured Seth would win, and he definitely deserves it. He's been calling out Brock lately and I'm stoked that he'll be the one to knock Lesnar off back to UFC.

Asuka and Becky was great. Asuka needed the clean win as it will only help her and won't hurt Becky. Also helped that she won the rumble after a grueling match.

Daniel Bryan vs AJ was fantastic, weird ending but it's obviously leading to something.

I feel bad for Braun. They shouldn't have done that little heel turn a while back. Don't know where they can go with him now though but they'll keep him at the top somehow.

Agreed, Braun needs more work though. I don't think he is ready to carry the show. Maybe not ever.

Somewhat agree except the part about Rollins winning.Meh a f .

Finn losing is bs. Dude has done more in the indies just to jobb around.

I almost thought that they were going to give it to Nia for a second.


Meh RR IMO.

Call up Ricochet and get the party started.

They would limit Ricochet to a moonsault, and a dive through the ropes if they called him up. He would be as boring as everyone else they neutered once called up to the main roster.

Rollins is boring AF, but I think with Brock it could be a good match, hopefully he would have a short title Reign. I've given up on Balor being anything at all, going to bury him out back next to Cesaro.

If anyone finds a link of the Becky Wardrobe malfunction, pass it along

With Ronda and other WWE stars bring involved in the promotion of Mortal Kombat 11 my hope is finally after 20 years or so Undertaker finally makes an appearance in the game

And Zelina is looking like a snack right there

Taker's entrance would take 10 minutes though.

It'd be worth it against Shao Kahn or Scorpion

Zelina tho.
