We have a saying in my country... Suffer in your jocks. You Americans get all the f***in' PPVs at good times, you can spare ONE. They could just you know…not actually watch the show live….GASP! Rough times for the American audience! How is Australia feeling about this show? Is Wrestlemania overshadowing this event? Nothing concrete seems to be in place with just under 3 weeks til the event. My sister lives in Sydney so I would have stopped over in Perth to see this but don’t have any holiday dates left for work this year. Still think Rhea vs Becky should have been built for this show with Rhea winning in the main event. Becky can win the title at Mania. I absolutely would have booked Bronson Reed v Seth if Seth wasn’t injured. At this point I doubt Roman Reigns is defending here but we will see.

I'm in Sydney, so it's not really that big of a story here. The states are very insular when it comes to reporting shit. I could imagine that in Perth it's a massive deal, though. I believe Ripley was one of the featured articles in their Sunday newspaper today.

She was the cover article in the West Australian's Sunday Times Magazine, though the interview and photoshoot were conducted in December. She's been doing some other Australia media of late, including a two-part interview on Mark Howard's The Howie Games podcast. The West Australian is also doing a series of interviews with other stars, including Grayson Waller and most recently Indi Hartwell:

Indi, Grayson and Rhea definitely need to be featured prominently.
It's their own chance to make Indi and Grayson feel like huge Mania stars on this show.
Make Indi be the runner up in the chamber match, same with Waller on the mens.

Wonder what they’ll do with Bronson. Rollins injury is unfortunate as I think they were planning a world title match for him on this show. Maybe they can put him in the Chamber even if it’s for a shot at a Smackdown title.

Presumably the women's chamber will be for the title shot against Rhea at Mania. And the men's chamber will be for...something... "Hey Seth, DJ here. I know we bitched you out big time but I got a great idea to fix that. You should defend your title in chamber, enter from number one! I mean Solo would win, not you, but you'll look great. It'll be at least an hour long. Why? The Solo energy is undeniable."

I’m flying back from Europe that day. Leaving Amsterdam around 10 am and arrive in San Francisco at noon. Guess it starts right when I take off Surely you can pull a Hulk Hogan style time shift by both leaving Amsterdam and arriving in San Francisco when the show starts?

Wonder what they’ll do with Bronson. Give him the spot that Beastie Boy was going to have at this show and have him flatten Dirty Dom.

I'm American and I love the super early start time! I'm so used to be awake watching wrestling from 3 to 6 AM (since I was 12) - that 11 AM seems harder for me. Being a wrestling fan seriously destroyed my school years / sleeping schedule FOREVER...

Guess they could do a tag chamber again if they really wanted to.

Rhea/Nia is official, and Becky is in the women's Chamber match. Liv/Zoey next week to establish another entrant.
