Keith Lee needs to start throwing in an "Indubitably" in his promos

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I definitely don't think live events or battle royals should count. Count outs and DQs are grey areas that I'm fine with going either way. I think Nigel may have just fucked up tho bc I don't remember Bianca calling herself undefeated since she lost to Shayna anyway.

A loss is a loss. WWE/WCW simply just count undefeated as meaning pins and submissions.

Nigel may have messed up, but if he didn't, that's why.

Undefeated or not, Bianca is fire.

Only reason I think grey areas are fine in wrestling (other than the fact that it's fixed lol) is just bc no other sport has any sort of battle royals or even triple threat matches, but that's just a reason why you should avoid streaks in wrestling in the first place bc it just leads to semantic arguments. I prefer when they specify "undefeated in singles competition" or "never been pinned" and such for that reason.

I fuckin' love Kairi's fiery babyface shine spots and that spear is beautiful.

She really is fire, I hope Shirai can improve to match her or maybe she's just gotta get used to the WWE climate a bit longer bc she's been pretty underwhelming when matched up in tags with Kairi.

I heard a lot of hype about Io being better than Kairi, but I don't see it. From a character standpoint, a wrestling standpoint or as aforementioned her babyface shine comebacks. That said, maybe Io just needs to acclimate to WWE. I'd love to see a little of what others do.

I just love Kairi, though.

She didn't impress me at all in the Mae Young Classic, but she also had like the worst match-ups during it until the final and I did really enjoy the match against Toni Storm, so I don't really hold a lot of it against her. She gotta line up her moonsault better before she ends up kneeing someone in the face tho

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I love that top rope diving forearm smash. Reminds me of how Savage had the diving ax handle on top of his elbow drop.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Kairi is bae.

So this actually gonna get a finish or is Shayna gonna come out for another no contest?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Come on Shayna! This match was lit AF fam. I get why, but man I wanted to see the end of this match.

That didn't take long

You called it right before it happened and I'm a sad man now.
