Havent been watching so I'm catching up and seeing this show breakdown so far is annoying. Using the roster as is, everyone healthy and better storylines in place we could've had -
Ronda/Asuka Red belt (10 min - maybe even less, book it like those Brock/Goldberg powerhouse matches)
Charlotte/Becky Blue belt No DQ (30 min)
Sasha and Bayley/Trish and Lita (20 min)
MYC Final (15 min)
NXT Women's title match (Kairi, Cross, Bazsler and a Bianca maybe? Definitely a 4 way for them to get some shine.) (25 min)
Women's Tag Team Championship Tournament:
Iconics, Riott Squad, Absolution, Bellas (40 min combined for the 3 matches)
#1 Contender Battle Royal:
Nia, Naomi, Carmella, Alexa, Mickie, Ember, Ruby, Nattie, Alicia, Dana (15 min)
Lana/Vega (5 min)
Maybe some special guest appearances in the matches, special referees, whatever. But you have an 11 match card there with just over 2.5 hours of matches, still 20+ minutes for filler and promos, using your available talent, all in constructive ways that don't feel like throwaway matches to take up time, special attraction matches that can pull your smarky and casual fans in and the opportunity to see something you haven't seen before, while still playing to your fan base. And literally the only things that needed to happen been to keep this on track is not have Asuka lose at WM or be such an afterthought since losing and have Sasha healthy, assuming she's hurt. Everything else here was more than plausible and they fukked it up with weird matches no one cares to see, putting people in spots they don't need to be in for the sake of publicity.
Weird Friday night thoughts I know but damn this show looks like trash and I would actually like to see it go well.
