So we need to build up Ember Moon for SummerSlam.

[Deleted]

Ember's been on the main roster for a couple years, has never really done much of anything of consequence, and needs to be built up fast for the second show of the year. What can we do to put over how credible a threat she is?

Let's have her lose to Alexa Bliss then get beaten up some more after the match!

The WWE, where we make NXT Callups wish they were still in Developmental, or not signed to the company at all anymore!

The after match stuff was fine. Bayley gets some payback after last week, but why they had Ember lose is just baffling. Let Nikki take the fall, she's not exactly being protected and neither her nor Alexa have any sort of important angle.

[cjh]

I thought it was fine.  Bayley and Ember winning wouldn't have done anything for their storyline, and Alexa and Nikki would have looked like jokes if they couldn't manage to win under the circumstances.

The creative idiots in charge think having people LOSE to build up towards PPV matches is a good idea.

It’s completely mind numbing and a big reason why most of the titles mean absolutely nothing these days.

That's because we got to keep Alexa strong LOL

It was clearly designed as a way to get Alexa into the title match at Summerslam because God forbid we ever have a PPV where both of the golden girls aren't in title matches. They also seem to forget that they actually have tag titles for the women now which could be something they could involve Alexa in along with Nikki if they are so hell bent on having her always involved in something. However that would actually be something fresh and interesting and obviously they don't ever have time for that.

And Vince can't figure out why Sasha Banks trying to quit

I'm not a big Sasha fan and I initially thought was she was kind of being a baby but the more times goes on the more and more I get it. The handling of the women since WrestleMania has been terrible. They have new sets of titles that can be used to create interesting new matches and fresh new storylines but no lets just do the same old crap we've been doing for five years and just keep pushing the same three women and neglecting everyone else. I honestly hope she just stays at home and continues collecting checks to nothing before she can tell them to piss off in two years and go somewhere else.

It’s also possible that they want to run Becky/Alexa after Summerslam and that’s why Alexa’s getting protected booking this week.

I was thinking that too. I read a house show report where it said they announced Becky/Alexa at the next show in the town they were in for December. I'm just sick of main event heel Alexa. It's just a super tired character that's even more tired with them always using her in the same way. I don't understand at all why they can't just turn her face or have her and Nikki win the tag titles. Being in a team would also protect her health wise with how injury prone she's been lately as Nikki could do most of the work and take most of the bumps. I'm going to be so annoyed if they have her be the one to beat Becky which unfortunately I think is a pretty strong possibility.

Yeah, I mean, something like Becky/Shayna would be good, but Becky herself has said she really likes the idea of ‘revenge’ against those who wronged her, and Alexa makes sense for that given their 2016 feud.

we need her vs Asuka on the main roster for the Smackdown Womens Title!

It's possible that they were using this to build up Bayley not being a happy, smiley, -insert wrestler-'s friend character and to show that her relationship with Ember is strained at best. Ember and Bayley lose because Bliss and Cross were working better as a team, and then Bayley acts like she's going to support Ember and instead attacks her.

You mean for pre show or main event taping? 😄
