I kind of think this is the last time we see her in a wrestling ring and it’s her BFF so I’m assuming she’s gonna go out her way to make Shayna look good.

Make it a Brock/Goldberg WM 33 style match and you got something

She should have just stayed away after losing in the Mania main event, she did what she needed to do and would have probably ended up being looked back on somewhat fondly if that was it. This whole second run has just been a disaster class from the get go but maybe them can pull some magic out of the hat and end it on a high note.

The fact there's been no Asuka/Ronda, Rhea/Ronda, Bianca/Ronda or Bex/Ronda is pretty criminal aswell. For once, I actually wanna listen to her on stuff that happened throughout this time cos I know she's gonna OFF.

SummerSlam Battle Royal presented by Slim Jim​

The Biggest Event of the Summer just got a whole lot wilder with the monumental announcement of a SummerSlam Battle Royal, presented by Slim Jim.

Superstars will battle tooth-and-nail for glory in the total free-for-all as they fight off attacks in every direction. A competitor will be eliminated when they are thrown over the top rope and botht feet hit the ringside floor.

Who will be the last Superstar in the squared circle? Find out at SummerSlam, Saturday, Aug. 5, at 8 ET/5 PT, streaming live on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.

The fact that they didn’t immediately go Becky/Ronda when she came back makes no sense.

Like there’s a built in story that Ronda’s shoulder wasn’t down in that Mania main event so that’s reason enough for her to go after Becky and they do it one on one.

 

[Lady Redfield]

Ricochet making an event and Austin Theory being wasted and ruined is just sad, my panties are in a twist.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I am also mad about that, but not the same reasons. I like Theory but not that much

[Hoss]

Does WWE know they can associate with people who aren't total jags or...?

[Canadian Dragon]

First off ew.

Secondly I'm guessing he has a famously bad performance?

 

[Hoss]

Basically every mid-show concert is famously bad so I think that's worth considering

biggest and longest women's feud in the company, with the GOAT of her generation in Trish and the GOAT of this generation Becky...relelgated to a match on raw instead of the second biggest PPV of the year. pretty fucking shitty to do that to them ngl.

The treatment of Beck this year has been odd to say the least.
