This is full on Two Man Power Trip territory at this point. WWE's head is so far up the Four Horsewomen's asses that none of the other girls feel like they matter in the slightest, and there are no new stars being made. Seriously did Bianca Belair show up just to disappear AGAIN?

Shit is so mind bogglingly stupid at this point, like Bayley and Sasha aren't a bad act but they're so EVERYWHERE that they have run stale and obnoxious. They do not need every single title, and the whole breakup tease has worn its welcome and had worn its welcome months ago.

I see no end in sight, when they didn't pull the trigger on Lacey at Mania, I knew we were in trouble.

I think we’re past the point where when the breakup does happen, it won’t be met with the reaction WWE wants us to have, just a big “f***ing finally” from actual fans (and not the PC plants).

I've always referred to Sasha/Bayley as the Waiting For Godot of feuds, always getting teased and never happening. That said, I can't help but feel there might have been another 'plans changed' situation given the ongoing COVID crisis, because Charlotte appearing on SDL to tease Sasha/Bayley dissension ended up going absolutely nowhere as they instead decided to double down on MOAR ROLE MODELZ.

Yeah. This is why I warned people it would be a bad idea. All this does is make the rest of the division look like a joke. I was expecting Nikki to lose tonight, don't get me wrong. But Bayley could have cheated. Instead Bayley won clean for the first time in god knows how long.

If this is an omen of how their reign as the "Two Woman Power Trip" is going to pan out, then I'm tuning out of the main roster product until they drop all the titles. No one is going to benefit from this.

How many title matches has Nikki lost now?

In regards to singles belts... Four, three singles and one handicap teaming with Bliss. This is just to Bayley, too, if you add her NXT run it actually more than doubles.

WWE’s booking strategy of ‘only THESE people matter’ is very bizarre to me.

I like Nikki and all, but for f***'s sake, have someone else at bat. Having Bayley beat her over and over and over again isn't helping either of them. Nikki's credibility has taken a beating, and Bayley's plenty credible, sure, but it's also making her reign dull if it's doing the same old shit a lot.

The problem though is Bayley’s beaten almost everyone already. They always talk about the number of days but the more striking stat is except for five days in October she’s been SD women’s champ since MITB 2019.

I believe that the stat is, if it weren’t for those five days, Bayley would be on a reign longer than CM Punk’s big WWE Championship reign.

As is their apparent strategy of "dominant heels running roughshod over everybody because smiles on faces or something".

I think WWE has just completely forgotten how to book a title scene that's anything other than a champion who crushes everyone in their path for an absolute eternity. That's basically what every big title reign since Brock's first Universal one has been.

I hate beating the AEW drum when it comes to these comparisons, but really, what is so wrong with keeping your acts fresh and involved with feuds even if they aren't the direct focus? Like Jericho hates Orange Cassidy, this is the main feud, but then and Inner Circle hate Best Friends, but you also got Jurassic Express in there too, and Matt Hardy, who by then proxy has Private Party having his back. Then with The Elite you got all them in their intertwined feud, with FTR, but then Butcher and Blade and Lucha Bros have also been involved, and now The ENTIRE Dark Order is involved. And what about Moxley? Well you got Cage going after him, and Starks helping him out, but then Darby is aiding him, but also isn't taking his attention off the belt, all while MJF is calling his shot for All Out on taking the belt for himself.

Even with the girls as weak as they are in AEW for reasons, you have Shida being a fighting champion, you have other girls like Abadon building themselves up, Baker being a great character and feuding with Swole, Nyla Rose in storylines, The Nightmare Sisters being a thing and making a whole tag tourny where storylines can develop

Like it is NOT HARD for a wrestling roster to intermingle with one another and have people feel like they matter even if they aren't in mainf euds, and this isn't even all the feuds and avenues AEW is taking right now with characters and development, it's just some of the main ones. Meanwhile WWE has this tight focus on "THESE PEOPLE MATTERS AND EVERYONE ELSE IS INFERIOR" and who does it help? Who is it for? What happens when they leave or if they get hurt? Well we're seeing what happens... disaster. A complete and total disaster.

All I know is whoever's been putting together Sasha's wardrobe these past few months deserves a promotion. Damn even Jinny wishes she had that level of fashionista taste.
