Did I just hear Cole Raquel is a dominant force like Rhea bruh you must be drunk. Rhea Ripley and Raquel started around the same time and Raquel has gone backwards as a talent vs Rhea who keeps elevating herself.

HoHo is about to make Cwalker’s list for Big Mami Cool slander.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Man that Raw Women's Title Match was hard to get through. The fans and people overall don't really care for Raquel these days and of course the Match is going to suffer because of it I feel.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Nakamura vs Rollins please kill it as a Main Event. Love you both don't fail me.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Oh snap Rollins has legit back problems yeah they should have sooner rather than later have him take time off.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Muta is here and it would be dope if Shinsuke hit the Mist as a Tribute to him just saying.

 

[Apoho Creed]

A rather flat ending to the Main Event even though I thought the work with Seth's Back was a positive for the Match.

 

[Sabretooth]

Kevin Owens be like

I can’t believe how young Finn looked in 2016. Damn.

 

[Y2Jayne]

I hope Damian and Finn get new belts, I never liked the red/blue ones and carrying two sets of them looks dumb if they're essentially the same titles

I’ve heard good things about this show. Dipping my toes back in.

Trish looks like a million bucks. Both her appearance and her ring gear. She’s also barely showing any signs of losing her ring skills.

It honestly feels like if attitudes about women were different in 2006, she probably could’ve just been working this whole time cementing her legacy as the goat.

 

[Smart Marx]

I also love Becky’s new look. Never liked her ring gears as she typically wore ugly singlets, but this two tone bottoms connected to the top with flesh colored sides is a nice comprise.

 

[Smart Marx]

Trish busting out Victoria’s widow’s peak is a nice throwback.

 

[Smart Marx]

Becky kicking out of the stratus faction is a nice way to make look like a true star (though she already is obviously).

 

[Smart Marx]

I do wish there was less kicking out of top rope avalanche finishes. That bulldog off the top looked like it killed Becky. Some things should be protected, but still a good spot.
