After tonight I think I'm fine with the Horsewomen having a break from title reigns for a while, and I say that as someone who adores Charlotte "Charlotte Flair Is Indisposed" Flair. There are a ton of other good women on the roster than can get a f***ing push and yet HORSEWOMEN. Asuka having a heck of a great run? Too bad, HORSEWOMEN. Shayna Baszler on a serious roll? Too bad, HORSEWOMEN. Alexa and NIKKI being one of the most enjoyable things going on SD? Too bad, HORSEWOMEN. I despise the Iiconics and Bianca Belair but f***ing hell, THEY'D be fresher than- Too bad, HORSEWOMEN. Hell, I'd even settle for a pointless Natalya run at this- Too bad, HORSEWOMEN.
At this point, I'm inclined to only watch NXT until Sasha and Bayley drop the titles because this shit has to f***ing STOP.

Weirdly enough, Charlotte Flair is now the only one of the four who HASN’T been a double champion.

I like Bayley.
Not enough to start watching WWE again. But I like her.

The problem is that this stuff is utter and complete ratings death. I can get overexposing certain talents if they're doing 6.0 ratings and 1.2 buyrates on PPV, but Bayley and Sasha are literally drawing the worst ratings in Raw history. Double your X-Pac Heat, double your fun!

Seriously though, I GET WHAT THEY’RE GOING FOR... The moral dilemma of “Do I save my friend from possible injury and possibly lose this belt, or do I keep trying to win this match and keep my belt, but let my friend get hurt badly because Bayley’s not gonna stop beating her up”. I GET THAT.
That’s a high-risk story to tell at the best of times. It requires a lot of faith and goodwill that main roster WWE just hasn’t had for a long time. Yeah, Asuka’s gonna be out for their blood now that Bayley and Banks “retired” her friend and made her lose her belt, which could be f***ing great stuff, but again that requires belief that JUST ISN’T THERE that the story will end with that victory.

I still kind of find it funny that for months (actually years, but the angle has been only going for months), all the babyfaces have been trying to drive a wedge between Sasha and Bayley, using the Smackdown Women's title as the divider. And yet, every attempt to do so has just made Sasha and Bayley stronger.
"Hahaha Sasha, you don't have a title and Bayley does."
*Sasha and Bayley win the Women's tag titles*
"Hahaha Sasha has only one title and Bayley has two!"
*Sasha wins the Raw Women's title*
"Uhhhhh shit, they are on equal footing and have all the titles. What do we do now?"

Seems like they are trying to make both womens division interesting because they are padding reigns (Bayley) Sasha and Bayley will implode. Neither should even be given a face turn from this either. Let them feud as heels, put Sasha over and then just have them not interact for a LONG TIME!!!

Goddamn they've booked Asuka into the ground. As strongly as Becky put her over she's just been completely f***ing pathetic ever since.

I mean, by the time the “big fall” happens, it may be at the point where nobody exactly cares anymore to react to it (basically like if the Jericho/Owens friendship lasted through and never ended at the Festival of Friendship).

I’m legit over Bayley and Sasha at this point. I’m seriously considering taking a break until they lose. The last time I felt this way was when Hogan walked out of Wrestlemania 9 with the title, despite not being part of the match. At that time, I stopped watching until Hogan lost the title.

I mean, I don't know how they drag the feud out to when they can have an audience again (because who knows when the f*** that is), so they will at least be able to get the Performance Center to love the feud because it's their literal job.

There Horsewomen, but they’ve never been in a stable. Isn’t that weird.
Oh, and I don’t know. Have Billie Kay beat them for all the titles.

here's the hard part for me. I think the horsewomen should be on top of the division. BUT, how do you feature them without it being dominant, reign of terror esque? If you depush them, who is there to carry the torch and keep fans interested? I really don't think anyone has that star power just yet.

God I’m old enough to remember when people were complaining that creative wasn’t giving them enough chances for the spotlight. Yeeesh.
