The Saga of Sasha Banks (and Naomi) Megathread

[Lethal]

After the shit she likely pulled last night, I wouldn't trust her word on this. Been a fan of Sasha since her NXT days, but I have been very disappointed with her attitude since she got called up. There's a middle ground between knowing your worth and doing what you're asked. She's slowly turning into the Edward Norton of female wrestling and it's frustrating to watch.

So she’s Ed Norton cos she wants her titles to have worth and good stories? And we don’t know who led the whole thing anyway.

What momentum did they have?

Facing slapped together teams for weeks on end is more of a burial than what they were

going to head into.

It's mark shit....fire them and let them fail else where imo.

Ergo which is why they wanted to build the titles into something more than slapped together teams and making something of a division. A mountain to climb given the poor value WWE has in tag team wrestling as a whole. Mens wouldn’t be this featured if usos and orton didn’t have those coins. NXT womens are accessory items. Zero value by the company. Why fault those who want to change that impression?

Honestly I mentioned the other women earlier, had they given the shot to Carmella or Vega over Naomi…

Most people would complain considering where Carmella and Vega are in terms of their standing

Alexa Bliss. You literally had a healed Alexa Bliss on the shelf who could be a PPV challenger, a triple threat with Becky and Asuka or hell Bayley if she is fit. There are options lol.

I dunno man, if I'm Sasha and seeing how Jade is being presented, AEW would look good to me.

 

[Cwalker]

I would... Stratton is a better wrestler already

Don’t let @Deezy see this

Just brought her back…

Wanna beat her already?

People would complain about that too…

I mean not be that guy but AEW's women's division is just as flawed as WWE but in different ways. Now Jade being about to do outside things and be treated as a star? Maybe

Sure they would but it's better than pinning a champion. Plus Bliss stans would complain no matter what

I don't get the point? You're not wrong but if Sasha and Naomi stayed then the complaints woulda been about the tag belts never given a chance to be relevant does someone have to present you a solution that fans wouldn't dislike for you to think there were other options besides Sasha and Naomi challenging for singles titles or? Cause all they're saying is there were other options, not good ones but neither was Sasha and Naomi lmao

I think it just lacks focus and time, mostly. I don't think its nearly as bad as people whinge about though, and if your a top star your treated pretty amazing. Sasha would be the biggest star in that division by a country mile as well, and a loud voice that stands up for women wrestling. Pretty sure TK would be willing to listen if he had half a brain.

The tag belts haven’t meant shit for 3 years so beating a Champion doesn’t really mean shit to me lol.

Me personally, I’m protecting Ripley and a newly returned Bliss over Naomi

 

[Hidden Blaze]

its wwe, they can do like 5 dq finishes in a row

No one wants that man, come on.

WWE painted them self into a corner here basically. Like no one really wants to see someone who’s been booked like shit get a title shot. I know I don’t. So it’s like, yeah book the other women better. Only problem is then you have 50/50 booking sometimes but they do need to build up others.

it sucks because the women credible enough to get a shot, also shouldn’t be losing right now(Sasha, Naomi, Rhea) or the ones who just came back like Asuka and Alexa probably shouldn’t be losing right away either. I’m personally tired of Becky and Bianca. Even if WWE does rematches out the ass doesn’t matter, I’m glad it’s not them again.

Okay so YOU just don't see any other option besides Sasha and Naomi challenging then lol people woulda complained tho

And that's Sasha and Naomi's point. The belts don't mean shit but they want the belts to mean something. Also fine, use Piper Nevin then. Not like WWE is immune to rematches. Do Asuka like they are now. Do a triple threat. There is a bunch of options they have even with a small roster.

It's not like people weren't saying to bin the womens tag titles for the last what? 2-3 years?
