Just got the main event to watch later but this was such a good episode. Literally everything had a purpose and pushed a story onwards, even in that short ass tag match they pushed the Candice turn.

Need to know what Trips is cooking with the Creeds though because they would have gone crazy in that ladder match. Really good match with DIY though.

All the new camera angles they're incorporating aswell just adds icing on top of the cake. Like the one they did from the Sami/Gunther segment all the way to the back into the MizTruth/DIY. Kevin Dunn really was a hinderance.

Finally caught up on the LWS match. Gave me a good laugh watching Bex struggle to set the table up right at the start, so Nia throws her out of the way to do it herself only for the leg to give way Really good match to blow off the feud but the ending was a little weird watching Nia stumble into position for that leg drop while Bex was already on top of the ladder. Maybe i'm looking way too much into it but the way Bex expression changed when Rhea's music hit got me wondering if something may happen with them, like a double turn perhaps.

I know this will ruffle some feathers but I think it might be time to admit that this Nia run has actually been good and HHH has gotten a real good tune out of her. Started out with a lot of due scepticism but I think she's turned out to be a good re-hire.

 

[Chris]

Nia's use has been the best booking of the Becky/Rhea feud I'd agree. And for the most part it's what I expected them to do, I was just a little off on some of the timing.

Where she goes from now that she's done with those two tho, I have no clue. I'm not really excited for anything else now that we got the one Rhea match and Becky feud out of her

 

[Dale]

I feel like they aren't done with Liv/Nia yet and I assume they're gonna go back to Jade/Nia which honestly doesn't sound appealing outside of the Rumble stuff.

 

[Chris]

I was fine with Jade/Nia as a potential Mania match to get Jade over on a big spotlight but I don't wanna see that match at all outside of a Mania spectacle

 

[Dale]

Yeah I don't even know which brand she's showing up on anymore. Looks like it will be on Raw then she goes and does a segment on SmackDown with Damage CTRL

Wait…is this BBWJAXXX praise?????
