I don't blame Dale in saying that because even as much I respect Liv she's not on their list as opponents for Mania next Year I feel. I would say Bianca or Jade could be a high possiblity for Rhea if she gets back the Women's Title by then for WM 41.

They haven’t done Bianca/Rhea at Mania yet right?

That’s probably where they go next year.

For me, the match of the biggest show of the year should be the match with the story.

Who knows what story they can tell from now to next Mania though.

They might do something that makes you forget all about Liv

It’s certainly possible, but I doubt it.

You have a full circle of them injuring each other like the payback and revenge built into this angle is so meant for a big show and WWE just does not want to capitalize on it.

Because WWE doesn’t see Liv on the same level as a Rhea, Becky, or Bianca

That’s the problem. You can’t elevate somebody if you don’t give them a chance. And there’s no better way than an organic story baked right in. Not just from one year, but now two years in a row having an organic story that they can capitalize on. She doesn’t even have to win. It’s not like they’re running out of time. The match with Bianca would still be there for the year after.

If it's a shoot : this is why sometimes having long reigns n waiting all the way to Mania to have a competive match can blow up in your face.

Yeah. It’s all gamble. It’s a miracle looking back and realizing Roman went 1300+ days as champion and one bad day could have ended anyone getting the rub of ending it.

it honestly is and I guess some of that was due to his illness and ppl just got used to seeing him on and off. and even then, he could have got hurt off a random ass suplex, you never know.

same thing with Punk in AEW, missed out on a bunch of matches due to all the time off and then it was over.

And with Rhea I feel like yeah they left alone on the bone with the title reign, winning and beating Becky p much the only 2 memorable moments. she defended on home turf in a match she was never losin, which is cool for her . and the the match with Vega was cool but again, not really competitive.

I’m fine standing alone on this island that this is the most intriguing thing Ripley has going on.

Shame about how irl things turned out for Ripley’s reign, though.
