Yeah not sure what they are thinking here. I don't know anyone who is going to choose to cheer for Shayna over Iyo. And I hope Iyo goes over tomorrow, because Shayna just doesn't have IT.

So HHH went with Shayna. Can't say I'm surprised. Nor can I say I'm mad since I do like Shayna but this feels like a bit of a missed opportunity to have a ''anything can happen in the WWE moment!'' and then have Iyo go over on Maxxine. Ah well, Shayna v Iyo it is then.

So far the one big critique that you can make here, well aside from some matches being on freaking house shows, is that the winners have all been super predictable.
Triple H really isnβt a Booker who does many βfun surprises.β

IYO Vs Shayna could be interesting but I am not expecting much out of it but it should be solid because they have solid chemistry.
WWE is likely too lazy to touch on it but the active members of Dmg Cntrl really all kind of came up in NXT when Shayna was dominating as the womens champion down there so there is a huge ammount history they could play with here.
IYO was never quite able to overcome Shaya to win the NXT womens title
Shayna's first reign was ended by KAIRI but Shayna was also the one that basically ended KAIRI's time in NXT.
Dakota became the loveable backstabber largely in part because of what Shayna put her through early in their NXT days
If Shayna can tap into even half of the bully she was in NXT this could be alot of fun not just in ring with IYO but with Dakota and KAIRI at ring side.

It wouldnβt kill the tournament to let Maxxine beat Shayna for example. Shayna is ice cold on the MR.

I mean if you look at this from a logical perspective, then Shayna beating Maxxine makes sense. However, it also doesn't make for good TV when your matchup tomorrow is going to be a pseudo heel in Shayna vs a top heel in Iyo. One of those two things is going to happen. Either the audience is going to be completely uninterested because both women are supposed to be unlikable in kayfabe, or they are going to side with Iyo, which harms her heel push. Because I don't magically see the audience siding with Shayna after WWE has been trying EVERYTHING over the past two years to get people to care about her, just for it to flop every time. At least with Maxxine vs Iyo, the audience would almost certainly side with Maxxine because she's at least sympathetic.

Hell......all the current active members of Damage Ctrl first came together in NXT because of Shayna Baszler and her cronies

Crazy despite how much Shayna bores the ever living f*** out of everyone how important she has been to those three and how good the chemistry between all of them is.

IYO became the "Joshi Judas" out of her inability to beat Shayna for the NXT Women's title. At which point she purged herself of all those who were holding her back(i.e. Candice Lerae) Likewise, Dakota became a Heel out of her own self-loathing and anger about her own weaknesses which were brought about thanks to Shayna Baszler.

I shout out this moment whenever it comes up talking about babyface women in this company but with Shayna as the topic at the moment.
It is short but a moment that has stuck with me because this is both peak bully Shayna and exactly why I repeat it again there isn't as woman on this roster that is more fitted to be the top babyface then KAIRI is....the absoloute heartbreak on her face despite the clear anger in her voice and the way her physical acting is just perfection..wanting to push forward despite clearly how much pain she is in and Shayna and the goon troop not even bothering to do beatdown because to them she is not worth their time anymore.
It is the role these two are meant to be in but alas.

Maxxine beating Shayna at a house show should have happened. 1. It furthers the Alpha Academy story 2. Makes for a more interesting round 2 match 3. Gives Shayna an actual story becasue now she can be mad at Maxxine
Shayna winning... unless they are planning some sort of Shayna push does nothing for anybody.
Upsets and swerves for theat sake of it are not always the best, but this is a case where the upset would not hurt anyone and would help everyone involved.

Some online are thinking they may have spoilt the finalists of the Queen event due to covered up Saudi renders of two participants, but I'm not so sure.

Well, I never expected Tiffany to be in the finals in the first place but any chance she had of being in Jeddah has gone down I'd have thought.

With the Tiffany stuff that has come out, I wonder if plans are gonna change regarding the women's tournament. Depends. We'll find out as soon as this Friday. The optics of Tiffany going over Bianca and/or Jade just went from "whatever" to "yeah this isn't a good look chief". At the same time, WWE will have put themselves in a bit of a pickle if they do decide to get rid of Tiffany in the tournament now. Because then you either have Nia beat Jade and Bianca (which would also be stupid), or you have to run Jade vs Bianca already, and having the tag champs have a match against each other probably isn't the best idea right now either. Honestly Tiffany's Instagram post could potentially have thrown the entire tournament into disarray. Because now WWE has to decide on if they want to continue to push Lyra to the finals, because WWE wasn't being subtle with Tiffany and Lyra being the finals, considering they had both of them in bodysuits already, while Iyo was not. So not only did Tiffany f*** up her push, but she might have accidentally cost Lyra a push as well. Because the only way I can see Lyra in the finals now is if Nia Jax beats Jade and Bianca, which again, would be an incredibly bad idea. This is why I think if they knock Tiffany out of the tournament, the finals are probably going to be Iyo vs Jade or Bianca. Of course, this is all assuming WWE even acknowledges the situation, but I think they are going to hope this all blows over, but I dunno if it will since wrestling news sites are starting to pick up on it. Because now I feel like if Tiffany goes over, there's a real possibility of severe backlash. Like it would make the Jey/Ilja drama look tame in comparison.
