Is Shayna hurt?

[mrbananagrabber]

That woman’s 8 man tag was pretty much an embarrassment, but one thing I noticed was Shayna’s foot. I’m not sure if she was limping on the way to the ring but she did seem to be walking sort of oddly, and then the match ended and she looked like she had a cast on or..something?

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

It felt like half the women participating in the match got banged up in some way, it wasn't pretty

[Lizuka #BLM]

I do really wonder why on earth they didn't call an audible on that match since Shayna definitely seemed to be hurt and Ronda obviously still was because she did one move the entire match which required no bumping.

[XIII]

I think she hurt her ankle catching a dive or something and they rushed to the finish because Ronda didn’t do Jack shit outside of an armbar. lol

A lot of injuries tonight. They never should have stolen the tiki allowed Vince and Dana White to team up it’s bad mojo.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

With Ronda also being hurt it obviously will limit what they can do with them going forward if Shanya is injured as well.

I thought giving them win tonight was lame despite Ronda not being able to do anything and doing nothing the whole match. What's the point of even putting over a team where one of the members can't work other then she's Ronda Rousey. I get feeling the need to put over a heel team since the champs are faces but if that's the case then why not go for a surprise outcome and have Chelsea and Sonya win. I think their odd couple schtick would be much more entertaining anyways.

So,the next tag title defense will likely be Becky/Lita vs Shayna/Ronda where based on WrestleMania you have:

-Lita(who's washed)
-Ronda(who was already hurt coming in)
-Shayna(might have gotten hurt in the match)


......good luck to Becky Lynch.......

[Push R Truth]

Felt like the audience was confused in the end. Became obvious Ronda was too hurt to compete but they still sent her out there. Shayna looked like she got injured. There was a lot of strange things in that match that made me wonder if it wasn't ad libbed because of major changes at the last second or possibly during the match. Everything about this match was just off. Even the entrances.

[celtics543]

I was wondering if having Lashley come out and do nothing was actually trying to help cover for the womens four way going short.

It seems like the WWE might be pivoting to giving the tag titles to Liv/Raquel next since Rhonda and/or Shayna aren't ready to compete regularly right now.

I don't even know why they did this match now, they could have done it on Smackdown, instead they screwed up the plans for the women's world title they had planned for tonight to do it... it was all a mess.

Especially after teasing Raquel going after Rhea(and let's face it outside of Charlotte, Raquel & Liv are her only viable challengers)

I really have no clue what they are going to do between there being no challengers for Rhea outside of Charlotte and Raquel (I'm not counting Liv as she's done way too many decisive jobs over the last couple of months), there also being no heel title challengers for the face tag team champions, and Ronda and possibly Shayna both being hurt.

I guess Raquel and Liv win the tag titles next week with Becky possibly turning afterwards as she looked kind of pissed and was giving off a heel vibe tonight and they do Charlotte and Rhea for another month. As for afterwards I have no idea. I guess Raquel feuds with Rhea despite being a tag team champion. Not preferrable but with how much of a mess everything is I guess it might something they have to do.

Makes very little sense to have Trish turn Heel in a Face vs Face match. With Raquel eyeing Rhea, I think this is just a filler title defense to give Becky/Lita at least 1 successful title defense before dropping the titles.

I'm actually thinking Becky might turn despite the rumors being it's going to be Trish. Maybe Lita takes the pin and then after Liv/Raquel leave and are out of the way Becky attacks her. Then Trish comes to the rescue to set up a match.

Also if Ronda and Shayna are out of the picture though then who else do Becky and Lita drop the titles to if not Raquel and Liv? Damage CTRL for all intents and purposes looks to be completely cooked. That really just leaves Sonya and Chelsea which would seem like a really big reach in that I can't see Becky or Lita doing a job for either of those two.

Is it me or did it feel like there was a disconnect in the Damage Ctrl storyline tonight. Like tonight they just teamed up and lost to make Liv/Raquel to make them look strong heading to a tag title match next week and that was it. Like they could've tossed Chelsea & whomever instead and it would've made little difference. The original plans with both Dakota & IYO entering into the Raw Women's title picture seemed to be a continuation of the story they started last week(with Becky putting over Dakota & IYO and saying how Bayley & Damage Ctrl was holding both of them back; and at WM commentary was putting both Dakota & IYO over big time). Like it felt like they were setting them up for singles runs, and then we got this instead.....



As for Becky/Lita, who knows. Like we got 3-4 months until SummerSlam, If not WrestleMania, then the turn I figured has to take place around Backlash at the earliest(with MITB they do a screwjob ala Jacy to Gigi to intensify the feud and lead to SummerSlam)

If the rumors are true with Vince being in charge now I guess that might have something to do with the change in Damage CTRL's booking as I don't think he was really a big fan of either of there's. Would've been interesting how the tournament played out. I'm pretty sure Raquel would've won the whole thing so I'm very certain she would've beat Iyo and Candice in her match. The Dakota/Liv/Piper one would've been more interesting in that I'm really not sure who would've won that. I guess Liv to set up a partner against partner match. Although I could see them maybe having Piper win so they could make Raquel look strong by picking her up.

So I guess either way Damage CTRL wasn't going to come out looking good. They went from both likely losing three way matches to jobbing in a #1 contender tag match instead. I guess only question is if they are planning on splitting them hence them originally being in seperate matches or if it was just a simple case of them splitting up a team just for the night. I lean more towards the latter as I guess Bayley was originally supposed to be with them but then wasn't. Don't know what's going on with her although I guess we'll find out soon. Maybe they actually care about the women's tag division for once and decided against splitting them because they realize they need heel teams. Also makes splitting Gigi and Jacy more questionable since they could've really used them now although to be fair both have been showing a lot more promise on their own then they did when they were a team so I guess I can't really say it was that bad of a booking decision.

They had Raquel stare down Rhea, so I doubt she was going to win the whole thing. Also, it would’ve made very little sense to have 2 Faces from Smackdown square off against each other for a chance to face the Raw Women’s champion(who also is a Face). Also, Raquel has had trouble lifting up girls like Shotzi and Aliyah, I can’t see her lifting Piper.

With them starting to plant the seeds for the end of Damage Ctrl it would’ve made more sense to do Dakota vs IYO in the finals to push that story along. Who does Bayley side with? Would she be happy that her 2 charges are getting a possible title opportunity while she gets nothing? Plus, them being Heel made more sense going against a Face Bianca Belair. And with how both Dakota & IYO were put over last week, it would’ve made sense for them to receive mini-pushes to challenge Bianca and continue that story.

Silly me I thought it was to fight Rhea. Then yeah I guess one of Damage CTRL would've won then. Probably Iyo since she's the more pushed of the two.

There was a Raquel/Aliyah against Piper/Nikki match on Raw last year where Piper climbed the ropes and then Raquel powerbombed her from there. They would probably do that again while still trying to sell it as a Herculean show of strength.
