    Look how progressive they are now, foreign women get to show their hair! /s

    As for Sammi, apparently the problem was with the Saudi’s because he was on the last show there too and it happened to coincide with improved Saudi Syria relations.

    Certainly not the choice I was expecting but it could be a good thing for Nia, she needed something other than big woman crush small woman as a gimmick.

      Indeed. She’s legit put in effort to lose some weight, get better in the ring, she hasn’t sidelined anybody, fuck it. Don’t want the title on her again but I’m down for Queen Nia.

      Please don’t do the Queen/King thing tho lmao.

        Cody better watch out, she just said she was going to become WWE Champion at SummerSlam!

        Yes, she is clearly putting in work on her in-ring work and cardio, it’s showing and she is having good matches, I think if she keeps putting in the work I might be open to another run of her as Champion. With the right character work and story I think improved Nia and Rhea could do a good brawl match.

    I started to think they didn’t plan anything out, it was taking forever for this match to start.

    Edit: It was ok, nothing to write home about and the outcome was obvious.

      According to the dirt sheets allegedly Becky hasn’t signed a new contract and hers is almost up. If true I can see why doing they switched it off her, this also allows Rhea to potentially come back and destroy Liv and take back her title.

    I could live without political and religious statements in my wrestling… I hate when we do it in the US and could live without it elsewhere too.

    But, that was an enjoyable match and I can’t wait for Otis to destroy Gable on purpose one day, If done right they could both come out of that much bigger.

      Closest I want religion in my wrestling is the occasional weird cult. A Dungeon of Doom can go a long way.

      Politics can just stay out of it period, too many people are nuttier than squirrel shit when it comes to politics and my ‘hot people slapping each other in their underwear’ doesn’t get enhanced by that shit.

        Dungeon of Doom and The Exalted One’s Dark Order is about what I’m looking for, although my Baptist-raised butt really loved the Ministry of Darkness because of how annoyed it made my grandparents and mom…
