They beat the shit out of each other
Felt more like what people would have expected from their SvS match and they delivered

Match was very stupid but in a very fun way. Do think the upside-down armbar was probably a cooler ending visual than what they went with but Ronda's screaming for the actual finish was pretty hilarious.

Match was good, still can't get me to care about the Smackdown Women's Division right now, especially since Ronda ain't losing that title until Wrestlemania next year at the earliest, which sucks all the life out of every single feud until then.

It’s what they should have been doing all along.
Cannot say I look forward to Ronda probably dominating the division as well now however.

I don't mind Rhonda dominating the division at least until the draft because the slim pickings of who she could face are SLIM. Can do a 1-2 feud with Lacey. Summerslam main event with Sasha, and maybe a PPV match with Shayna since that has a lot of history. But after September? It's just going to be hard to keep the momentum for another 6 months after.

We just had a long dominate women’s title reign. And we have a long dominant world title reign as well. It’s just dull at this point. Do I want to see Sasha or Naomi for example have to lose to Ronda, Hell no.

I think the problem is that Ronda is an outstandingly terrible promo even by WWE standards, and Charlotte and maybe Lacey are the only women she will really get audience support for. Otherwise she's probably going to end up getting heel heat even though she's supposed to be a face.

I don't like Ronda, but this is definitely one of the best uses of her thus far.

It's nice that the disappointing Mania match is now the outlier and their other two matches have been quality work.

She was winning but looking vulnerable and giving her opponents lots of offence. It was only near the end she started getting booked OP

Ronda needed to shake the ring rust off, she's looking much more like her old self
I hope her reign isn't like a Lesnar one or part time, or transitional just for Charlotte to pad her reign, though, they need new blood in this division badly.

Right, Ronda looks like she's in great shape again, and she's excellent when she's at her best. Pretty sure it's not going to Charlotte for a while, she got written off with an injury.

Ronda seems to work best when she has a big dumb action movie match layout (I mean that in the most positive way possible) and tonight's was definitely that.

Even if Charlotte ends up not being away long, and with the women's division still having serious depth issues, it does buy them time.

I'd say probably the best approach to take if you want Ronda to hold the belt to Mania would be to have her pretty quickly get screwed over via Money in the Bank then have the belt bounce around for awhile before ending up back with her around the Rumble.

Wouldn't be a bad way to at least put some shine on some of the other women. There's at least some value in being a former champion versus a shmuck.
