Ember Moon is not a fan of Sasha and Bayley holding all the gold

[RammerJammer]

Ember Moon wasn't a fan of the finish to the Raw Women's Title match on Monday.

Sasha Banks became the new Raw Women's Champion on Raw, defeating Asuka when Asuka was counted out as she went to save Kairi Sane from being attacked by Bayley in the backstage area. As a result of Sasha's victory, she and Bayley now hold the Women's Tag Team Titles, SmackDown Women's Title, and Raw Women's Title.

Taking to Twitch, Ember recapped Raw for her viewers and gave her thoughts on the outcome.

"Why do we need two double champions? Is SummerSlam going to be like low-key Evolution with Sasha and Bayley wrestling for their singles titles and also for the tag titles? Is that a thing? Are we just reliving Triple H [& Steve Austin, Two Man Power Trip] from 2001? Sasha & Bayley have done a great job with a limited roster, but there are too many people sitting at home to tie up all the titles with two people. I was kinda upset -- the match was superb -- I don't like the fact that knowing, it was Kairi's last [appearance], I don't know if that's the way you go. I feel you make it more of a threat than just Kairi getting beat up backstage. I think you have Bayley beat-up Kairi and then have her with a forklift about to drop some cinder blocks. [Asuka] had [Sasha] in the Asuka Lock, all she had to do was sit back. It makes more sense if Kairi is in more of a life or death situation versus her getting thrown into stuff and stomped. I get we're supposed to be angry, and kudos to them for making us angry. No one wanted Asuka to lose, everyone wanted NXT Asuka back and having an undefeated streak. That's what WWE does. I fell for the ploy of 'I'm angry because I saw my friend Asuka lose the title in a crappy way.' Are we gonna have Sasha just lose the title to Lacey Evans or transfer Naomi over? They're building to SummerSlam, right? As a fan, I feel like I got ripped because once again, I don't get Bayley vs. Sasha."

She continued, "I feel like I lost the match I wanted to see two SummerSlams in a row. Maybe they're waiting for a bigger live audience. Maybe it's because Charlotte is gone and Becky [Lynch] is on maternity leave. They're killing me because I really want to see that match. Not only that, but you're sacrificing all of your other superstars for two people. That's what it feels like to me. Maybe I misjudge what's happening. I like to be angry about wrestling. I'm just trying to figure out the next step. Apart of me is like, 'I don't know what's going to happen, 'which is great, but apart of me is like, 'I don't know if that was the right call.' For me to be so upset that I had to turn off Raw because back-to-back-to-back...that first hour and a half to me was infuriating from a professional and fan standpoint."

Ember did clarify that she believes WWE is doing what they can with the circumstances and that she isn't present at the Performance Center, so she isn't privy to the conversations happening inside the PC and behind closed doors.

She does feel that WWE could use this opportunity to have someone like Bianca Belair, Naomi, or a new tag team step up to Banks and Bayley to potentially take one of their titles.

So with Charlotte that narrative is "she should hold all the gold!" but when it's Sasha and Bayley, the narrative is "they're holding back the women!".

Well I agree in that they need to wrap things up and make the match with Bayley and Sasha. If they aren’t going to do it at summerslam then what are they really waiting on? Mania??

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

So this only became a problem when Sasha won?

She wouldn’t be saying this if CHHHuck or her best bud Alexa we’re holding belts though.

FOH

It was supposed to be Charlotte vs Asuka and Sasha vs Bayley at SummerSlam but Charlotte took a hiatus.

Sasha & Bayley have done a great job with a limited roster

So why shouldn’t they be holding all the gold during this time?

 

[El Guapo]

There’s like only 10 women in the WWE Bubble. You need an interesting angle to keep things interesting using the same people and them having all the gold and wondering who will take it from them is more interesting than whatever else they could be doing instead. That’s why when good stables are formed we want them with all the gold so we can see who can break them down.

The roster is limited by choice though. They had Shayna and Nia create something outta nowhere and same with Ruby and Bianca because they aren’t doing anything

Having two double champs in the women’s division the same week as having Keith Lee give up a title is a sure sign that booking is completely broken.

 

[AMcV'88]

hopefully one of them go for the NXT belt next just for the sake of it.

We went from becky lynch and Charlotte flair to sasha and bayley

I'm not really mad, because they're entertaining. I firmly think if there wasn't a pandemic we'd be seeing toni storm and I think rhea Ripley should get called up to since they don't seem to be doing a damn thing with her

 

[Grifter]

Her husband still running his "King of The Black Women" gimmick?

 

[Norrin Radd]

Even though I like Bayley and Sasha as champs, I get what she's saying. All the other women are basically in limbo stuck doing pointless stuff. Bianca and Ruby gonna end up fighting the IIconics until July of next year because what else is there for them to do

And I'm sick of seeing Alexa and Nikki tbh

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

She wouldn’t be saying this if CHHHuck or her best bud Alexa we’re holding belts though.

i been trying to tell yall about this bedwench c00n for years. She a disciple of Booker T

I hate double title holders for the most part. I think only TNA got it right when Kurt Angle and Bobby Lashley both did it. When Seth did it years ago, it was alright. When Keith did it, I hated it, eventhough I love Keith, because they hot-shotEd the world title over to him instead of doing a build towards it. Kross should have cost him to lose the NA title to build more heat for their World title match.

In Sasha and Bayley’s case it’s a different story. I like their current run. They are the most entertaining thing, most weeks, in the ‘E. The story has been building for months. It also doesn’t help that Raw and Smackdown’s women division booking has been absolute shyt since the pandemic began. Makes sense. I also love that that they are talking about going to NXT to take that title too. It’s a dope storyline. They just need to make sure they don’t run it into the ground. But you know with the ‘E, this storyline will be going until Wrestlemania next year
