Said way back when that it should have been Asuka vs Charlotte at Mania. Give yourself two money women's matches instead of just one clumsily built three way feud.

Can't picture Asuka being anyone's lackey. She's a god damn empress.

To the first point: Exactly.

Two the second: Not anymore.

As badly as she has been handled, I would still cringe seeing her as Charlotte's henchwoman. Just doesn't fit her character.

I wouldn't make her a henchwoman. It would be more a Ric Flair/Arn Anderson thing. Kind of a like a loyalty thing. At some point you would be able to turn her face and have her kill Charlotte, which just isn't in the cards right now.

When she wants to turn it up she can....

Camera under the ring..lol

Matt Riddle might be in the 50-man battle royal.

Dude's seriously going to regret wrestling barefoot.

That's the real reason Kerry Von Erich lost his foot.

Wrong Von Erich. Kevin wrestles barefoot.

Was listening to Post Wrestling's RAW review and Wai just gave up towards the end. Like, he was questioning his decision to even review the show.

WWE is trying to get approval for Alexa to wrestle Natalya on friday.

I wonder what the reaction will be if WWE does manage to get a womens match allowed onto the Saudi card.

Stephanie wouldn't stop talking about it.

they should have gotten approval earlier so they could hype it up more

I'd assume mostly negative in the sense of people seeing right through WWE's desperate attempt for some cheap PR considering how much their image has been damaged from the Saudi deal.

If they were actually sincere about it, they wouldn't have hold off this potential historic women's match until after all the tv advertising of the show was done.

Plus the gloating from them if they do pull if off is going to quickly become unbearable.

The flurry of semen flying toward them from the crowd will make the match resemble that arrow scene from 300.

HAHA this is WWE booking you naive little idiot... eat shit!!!

For some reason, all these adjectives made me think of the Dean Malenko titantron. They should have added all those to it, too. Especially "Arousing" and "Kinky".

Why Alexa vs Natalya? Odd choice.

Guess Adam Cole is in line for a call up soon. Can't wait for the payoff of a 6 month storyline just to introduce Maggle Cole's BAYBAY.

I don't see Adam Cole doing well in WWE... I hope so but I don't count on it.

Just want to record my prediction for Super Showdown...

Corbin beats Seth for the Uni, and Brock cashes in on Kofi or Dolph for the WWE Championship.

Don't see any of the Undisputed Era guys having much success apart from each other.... their value is in the group, I think.....

Has a title changed hands at one of these things yet? Seems like the goal is to stack the card so the Saudis feel like they’re getting a WrestleMania but to save anything “major” for later.

Alexa vs Sasha was the first women's match in Abu Dhabi so nattie is the fill in

Nattie's outfit probably is closest to already being full body

Becky Lynch and her kill bill outfit would work better

I think Kyle O' Reilly will get a run with the NXT Championship. He was the star of that Ladder war.

They could have La Luchadora #1 (Becky Lynch) vs La Luchadora #2 (Alexa Bliss)

https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...uParTMpb6WHYaI

Nothing major no... that's why I think they will do it.

If Lesnar makes it a 3 way I could see Corbin winning because then no dq and he could have help.

I wonder what Brock eats while he's in the desert...

Camel or Camel Spiders probably

Goldberg was great on Smackdown! I wish he'd have gone to AEW and had matches with Jericho and Cody though.

Kyle O is my favorite person in UE (more than Adam Cole bay bay)

I predict Grandpaberg defeats Eldertaker.


Then they have a rematch at "Possibly better and even bigger than SuperShowdown" WrestleMania: Pirates Ahoy next year.

I think Taker will win and Goldberg will be gone again until the next Saudi show when they need him for star power and he gets a win over Rusev or some other middle of the pack guy.
