Sonya’s beef with Naomi has not been properly explained in like half a year. They SEEMED like they kind of explained it a couple weeks ago, but then they backtracked on it the very next week. You can tell it’s intentional as well because they have Michael Cole basically say “we still don’t know why Sonya hates Naomi” almost every week.
Why you would drag a feud out for this long and not even give us basics character motives is beyond me?
Charlotte vs. Ronda is happening because it’s the match Vince has wanted to do all along at Mania.

We’re just one step closer to IC Champion Johnny Knoxville. Since the WWE doesn't like celebrities losing, they could make it a multi-man latter match or a triple threat with Nakamura, so Knoxville doesn't have to eat a pin. I doubt Knoxville cares if he wins, though. He is probably more than willing to lose a Mania match. It’s Johnny Knoxville, he would let Sami literally shit on him in the middle of the ring if he thought it would get a laugh

All I'm saying is, putting on three matches total for what is essentially a go home show to a PPV, when Rampage puts on four matches in an hour plus promos and segments, is absolutely inexcusable for WWE to be THIS lax with their cards. Two out of the three matches feel like they won't go past five minutes. It feels like they can't fill two hours of time anymore let alone three, and I guess when you make the Blue Brand entirely about Roman Reigns for what is going on two years running, that's what's going to happen. The brand's star power has stagnated to the point we're still throwing Goldberg out there in 2022. It doesn't have to be, but given what they're doing with Big E and McIntyre right now? That's just what they blatantly choose to do, and it's making for a really f***ing terrible show, because nothing is progressing, everything's been stuck in the mud, spinning its wheels, for what feels like months to years now. It's getting overwhelmingly tedious. Them not caring about wrestling on their wrestling show is feeling very apparent these days... It’s a taped show airing 14 hours before a major PPV. Makes sense to have a few matches and a bunch of hype videos. Similar to the go-home Smackdowns right before Mania used to always be. I wonder if Fox execs will feel the same considering how much they are paying (For what it’s worth I’m not disagreeing with you in what the WWEs perspective would be but man considering how much they gave the WWE for the show to be turned into a promo show for someone else is rough)

Gotta love how Sami, who refuses to go to the Saudi shows, gets the IC title right before the next Saudi show. Just goes to show how much they like and respect him. Somebody said it best, he's pretty much got a Jericho spot. He may not main event (which Jericho did at times), but he's always used, he's always getting plenty of time on shows, and is always booked as a threat. Since the WWE doesn't like celebrities losing, they could make it a multi-man latter match or a triple threat with Nakamura, so Knoxville doesn't have to eat a pin. I doubt Knoxville cares if he wins, though. He is probably more than willing to lose a Mania match. It’s Johnny Knoxville, he would let Sami literally shit on him in the middle of the ring if he thought it would get a laugh Look at him in the Rumble, he took everything. Dude didn't half ass it, and he got eliminated by Sami. He put his all into it.

Two in-ring segments for the big world title match and the women’s tag (and maybe a 3rd depending on what the Happy Corbin segment is). And then 3 matches, including an IC title match. It’s probably 1 or 2 segments shy of what they typically do (which I imagine will be filled with video packages).

A Spielberg fix? Does that mean one of the people in the ring will be replaced by Michael J. Fox and another person replaced by Brie Larson? "Vince was unhappy, so Charlotte and Ronda will be digitally replaced with Tig Notaro in the aired Smackdown." - WrestleTaint.gov

That'd be less brain trauma than he's suffered doing some of the stuff he's taken throughout the whole run of Jackass.

But that would be the only thing I really dislike about his push
