Piss on that. Sometimes you need to strike at the biggest moment and the most immediate opportunity. And given that she's been on TV for about a year now, and has spent most of that time either behind Nikki or Charlotte as the one the fans have wanted to have the belt, this seemed like as good a time as any to actually give her the belt.
Actual age doesn't matter. TV age does. There's no point to letting this year old story keep going to the point where people might actually get sick of it (which always happens when you wait too long), especially when you're debuting a new belt. They really should have just had her win the belt here, especially given that she was one of the three most over people at this WrestleMania.
It's been less than a year.
got SQUASHED in the first 18 seconds on a curtain-jerking title match and it led to him having an entire Wrestlemania dedicated to him winning the title. Austin passed out and it led to HIM main-eventing Mania and getting a glorious win.
Sasha's going to show up tomorrow night on Raw with the same crowd that wanted her to win and saw her show the fukk out on TV in front of the same people who have the network PLUS the people who tune in on the weekly. The fact that she doesn't have the belt is what's going to keep her afloat because people truly give a fukk about her having it. You've got to build everyone in order to have a grand moment.
She gets the belt tonight and then what? Who do we give a fukk about for the chase? What do the fans clamor for to get a shot. No one else has as much of a connection.
We'll debate about it later in a thread of its own and I feel ya, but patience is a virtue in some instances, breh.
