This was the divas equivalent of Paul London's Joker smile as Vince McMahon walked to his demise.

Nikki looked super HAWT last night.
And pretty ballsy to wear a short skirt and take a bump.
You know somebody had that moment on super slow mode.

WWE booking style: Bore the crowd long enough and they'll even react to a Bellas storyline. To be fair, that crowd was dead from the outset and off all night. But are we really gonna hail it as a rousing success when, after using every heel tactic in the book, Nikki got decent heat and Brie got enough cheers? They seemed pretty invested in the idea of AJ versus Stephanie though.

They seemed pretty invested in the idea of AJ versus Stephanie though. Yeah, they wanted to see AJ fight Stephanie, hence the very loud "KISS HER" chant. Honestly, for all the talk about how AJ and Paige "made" that segment, apart from the AJ/Steph face-off, they were both pretty much a non-factor out there. If anything, them acting all kawaii desu in the background just felt OOC and out of place. Like it or not, most of the crowd response was for the Bellas, whether they were boos at Nikki for trying to make Brie quit, or the "YES" chant when Brie retaliated. Apart from that, the loudest the crowd got was the mandatory "CM Punk" chants and the oh-so-mature "KISS HER" chant.

Naomi/Alicia Fox/Summer Rae/Layla did not come from the indies and they're great, Alicia Fox is the girlfriend of Bad News Barrett, if they come from the indies or not doesn't make a difference to me really, but the Bellas are backstage politickers no doubt. What proof do we have that the Bellas are into backstage politics? Just because they're dating top talent doesn't mean that they use it for evil. Neither has had a diva's title reign since they returned and outside of the feud Brie has had with Stephanie and Total Divas they're not getting any better treatment than the other divas.

So they set stuff up for aj/steph
Steph is twice her size and now super strong
AJ in all reallity should get wrecked by stephanie.
Why does aj deserve to be number one contender? She lost convincingly then natalya beat paige
But hey maybe we get a scramble match for noc

Apart from that, the loudest the crowd got was the mandatory "CM Punk" chants and the oh-so-mature "KISS HER" chant. I actually went back and watched it, with my external speakers turned all the way up, because I thought it was really weird how you mentioned a chant that no one else did. Turns out, it was one obnoxious guy or two and it died out remarkably quickly. Trust me, if the "KISS HER" chant was as loud as you've suggested, there would be five threads about it on FAN. The Bellas did get the loudest reaction. I just don't think it's that impressive. If you can't garner some reaction in the climax of a segment designed to get you over, then you really are doomed.

Steph is twice her size and now super strong AJ in all reallity should get wrecked by stephanie. In general I don't speculate much in who could shoot beat who, but I contest these as factual for the record. Stephanie isn't really a walking wall of muscle, even if she was that doesn't mean she'd win a fight against a smaller opponent. AJ is ten years younger which might help. And well, she doesn't know karate, but she does know CRAZY! If we're just talking kayfabe, I'm not sure wrecking Brie is enough to get you over a monster. AJ has made a lot of people tap, I suspect she could make Steph tap.

Well they kind of kayfabed Steph training with Ronda Rousey and she also gets lessons from rener gracie. And she trains as insanely as her dad.
Kayfabe wise steph has all the advantage and there's always a plan B

Kayfabe wise steph has all the advantage and there's always a plan BSeth Rollins is cashing in on the divas champion?? This would be entertaining but not what I was expecting for Rollins.
