So Bayley can't even get an ounce of retribution on Alexa but Sasha can take her out just like that? Sasha is the true female Cena.

Solid match. Nia looked better than she ever has before and I'm happy Sasha is back in the title picture.
I just hate how they're using Bayley.
And why does Corey have to fawn over the top female heel like that? It's ridiculous.

Another decent show. Raw has something with Lesnar/Joe and Reigns/Strowman.
Smackdown has the built in advantage of being an hour shorter, but honestly, even with the extra hour and lots of filler, Raw has been the better show since Jinder rose to prominence.

She's hardly booked like Cena. The point you've made speaks far more to how much they've soured on Bayley than anything else.

That's the right move. Alexa/Nia made zero sense.Good finishing sequence. Impressed with Nia's gas tank tonight, undoubtedly, but she's still not really good enough to be where she's at, ring wise. They've literally been teasing the match for months now.

They've literally been teasing the match for months now. Yeah, and it hasn't made any sense. Unless the plan was to turn one of them babyface (which doesn't appear to be the case after tonight), what point would it serve? The crowd cheers Alexa because she's the underdog? The crowd continues to not really care one way or another about Nia? It just wasn't going to serve either of them at this point in time. Heel vs. heel matches don't really work nowadays, especially when one has no heat and the other is a "cool" heel. And if the idea was to turn one of them babyface, I think they still made the right call. Babyface Nia taking on tiny Alexa doesn't really work, and Alexa is too good in her role to flip right now.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the best matches Bayley and Charlotte have had were against Sasha Banks. She's by far the best female worker. I'm glad they've kept her looking relatively strong, as opposed to Bayley (who I am not a fan of at all).
I also like Alexa (mainly because of her looks) but she hasn't really had a match that was all that impressive. Hopefully Sasha brings it out in her. I'm sure no matter the outcome, that Summerslam is a triple threat with Nia Jax

From a kayfabe perspective, sure, but again, it does absolutely nothing for either of them. Pursuing the angle in the first place made no sense. Plus, it's not as though Sasha has just been completely absent. She hasn't been doing much, but they put her in a number one contender's match and she won. It's better than the "'I WANT A TITLE MATCH', and so it happens" formula they frequently use now. This is a better match, a better angle, and a better story to tell at this point in time. Nia's going to have her day, they're obviously high on her.

Nah, but I appreciate your insistence on being passive aggressive. Tonight was her best effort by a significant margin, and I already gave her due credit, but that doesn't suddenly mean she's a safe worker. There are way too many contrarian examples. I would completely agree that Sasha takes a lot of unnecessary risks, though. That seems to be an issue throughout a good portion of the women's division.

I skimmed through tonight, and my thoughts.... *I watched the Enzo/Cass segment, and goddamn it was good. My heart was having me believe that Vince realized what a colossal ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) up he made and got them back together, but my brain and years of being burned by Vince logic brought me to the conclusion he was going to turn on Enzo right before going backstage. I was not wrong and I hate it. They literally only have 2 babyface teams and they split up the hottest one? Doesn't make sense. *Enjoyed the women's gauntlet. When Nia bulldozes girls I love it. It looks so raw and real. Not a fan of Sasha getting the super booking but it is what it is. *I literally fast fwd through anything with Bray because it is the s.o.s. ebery feud he is in. Rollins needs a better story

I knew Emma was going to get buried and yet I'm still disappointed.
