There were some cheers for Sasha and Bayley, but both got their fair amount of boos during their introductions and when they were the only two in the ring. The crowd was mostly for Alexa and Nia It definitely wasn't as bad as Brooklyn, can we agree there? We sure can. I wish Sasha would go heel already.

Thought it was a pretty good match! It is a little predictable that the champion almost always retains in multi-person matches, though. On the upside, Emma not getting pinned also fits great with her delusional heel character.

Good match, and it shows they certainly have some great female heels, i think it might be the way to go just to turn both Bayley and Sasha heel, just have a division of arrogant, nasty women beating the hell out of each other, or just have all the women try to take out the lone face Asuka when she comes in. Either Way Bayleys character is finished and Sasha just works better as heel.

All five looked good. Nia has arrived finally. Dug the callback to the NXT Bayley feud too.

Second best match on the card after the tag title match. Those were the only two matches that delivered for me as the two main events really disappointed.

This match far exceeded any expectations I had.
Sasha needed to be heel MONTHS AGO. She hasn't been The Boss in ages, and feels like someone just playing a role now. She better watch out before the real New Boss Bianca Belair arrives down the line.
Nia...damn, I never thought I'd say I could dig her as champion, but they keep playing to her strengths (literally) and make her the female Strowman, and she's gonna be big.
Emma didn't eat the pinfall...which I found odd. You bring back Bayley just to be the one to lose. That was weird. But I love Emma, even with her shitty music, so it's okay.
Bayley is meh.
Alexa as champ is cool, but I was expecting Nia to win or Emma to upset OUTTANOWHERE!

It was an entertaining match and everyone had their moments. Emma was in the thick of it for most of the match and did a lot to solidify her spot as a contender.
With Nia I'm not ready to jump on the train yet. Don't get me wrong, she was great and took some nasty spots like a champ. However, like Brock in the Triple Threat (with Cena and Seth) her roll was come in, wreck some people then get teamed up on and take a break. Rinse, repeat. Until I see her have a great singles match I'm not 100% with her.
I was disappointed that Alexa won again tonight. I was immediately reminded of Charlotte. It's funny how they just switched one blonde champ for another but kept the booking so similar. I guess the fact that Asuka is coming means Alexa's win makes sense, but I was disappointed.
Anyways, overall the match was good times.

I'm glad Emma didn't get made to look like a chump.

The real MVP of that match was Nia's neck muscles

A mate of mine texted that I need to watch it and his taste is normally damn good. Looking forward to it.

Until I see her have a great singles match I'm not 100% with her. . Similar, kudos for the powerbomb spot... ut it's easy to look at least decent when the bulk of the work is covered by 4 other people. Her leg drop still looked slow and plodding for instance. But that aside the match was really well done. I was shocked they let the heel win clean and figured Alexa would sneak a pin after like Bayley hit her finisher I am also confused as to why they decided Bayley who just came back from injury should be the one that's pinned... but I'm willing to see if this plays out somehow... maybe in the Sasha vs. Bayley feud they keep hinting at but don't actually want to start.

Nia was the absolute MVP of this match.
I've liked her for awhile now, never got the hate. She's a great beast with amazing strength (loved her squatting the 2 girls on her back before the drop) and good speed.
Everyone else in the match played their roles well, but Nia was the star coming out of the match.
Too bad I'm 100% certain that they will f*** her up and she'll be wasted.

Bayley could use a little tweaking, but Sasha should be a full blown heel. I want to boo her because I find her character pretty unlikable.

Really good match but what was even the point of Bayleys return? Like yay Bayley is back and LOLPINNEDCLEANLYBYALEXABLISSAGAIN like nothing has changed. Also this is the exact same booking as Charlotte where Alexa is nothing but a palette swap of Charlotte. They even used the same people like me and people like you promo with the only difference of Bliss talking about her personality instead of her genetics.
Asuka can't come soon enough.

The Nia bump was great, once I felt sure she was ok.
Nia in general has got some real presence to her now.
The Bayley guillotiné callback was a nice nod to continuity.
I'm sure Sasha is lovely, but The Boss is a heel gimmick, and that crowd seemed to want to boo her, so why is she a face? Sasha as a face is basically, "I smile and try hard," which is a watered-down Bayley, which, with the actual Bayley taking the pin, makes her look kinda meh.

So would you consider Alexa and Charlotte: Ken and Ryu, Yun and Yang, Mario and Luigi or Ryo and Robert?
