I was really confused when the world title match went on at 9pm.
I really hope they don't just have Punk win it back at the PPV.
MJF interfering in chicago to make Punk lose might actually start a riot.
Man I been reading a lot about the backstage drama and I guess Thunder Rosa didn't want to put Toni over and there is heat on her. She also broke Hayer's nose in there match and Hayter wanted to legit fight her backstage and Rosa hid from her. THunder could have been awesome if she knew how a mic worked.
I think it's one of those things where she's good enough to be an indy star but once you put her on the big stage and turn on the lights all her flaws become obvious. Didn't she have issues with Ivellise at one point too? She had chemistry with Britt at one point but shes not good enough to work through bad matches or opponents and by God there's only so much screaming and shrieking selling I can take. Just nowhere near as good as she apparently thinks she is and has that stupid "I'm a strong independent woman so I won't take any criticism" attitude that is like the worst thing you can have in wrestling.
TK dropped the ball on that one for sure and it's going to take some work to fix how badly he's fucked up his women's division. Good on him for apparently doing the right thing and sending her home though .. It's gonna be real interesting to see how fast this "back injury" clears up and she starts working Mexico. I wouldn't be surprised if they put the belt on Hayter and try to refresh things, which I'd be fine with. Hayter is pretty fucking good. Just please don't put the title saddle back on the PA Longback.
For the title match what I meant was just have it go on at the same time as the trios went on so it doesn't give anything away, do long entrances or an extended faceoff before the match to pad time, then have the 5 minute squash and fake injury gaga, then have Mox cut his promo in the ring over an "injured" Punk to close the show. Same run-time total, looks less planned, and you get to end the show on the surprise and get everyone talking. It would have taken nothing away from the trios match and added so much to the title match.
Rampage kinda blew. Dark order vs HoB and the Miro stuff was fun but then it fell off a cliff. Wardlow squashed Dolph Zigglers brother. I muted it and did something else during the sammy match. The Dustin match was either (hopefully) the start of an angle for him or some of the worst superman booking I've seen in a long time. Claudio needs a new theme bad. You've got this 6'6 muscle god and you have him coming out to some wimpy 90s anime theme sounding shit? He's not Jushin Liger.
