Nattie's still a fine wrestler, she just doesn't stand out anymore because they've just brought in so many more interesting people than her over the years IMO. Same thing kinda happened with Ziggler.

I am so pumped for RAW, you all better be there or I'll be mad.
Specifically at you, person who is still reading this post.

Yeah, I remember Ziggler being like at least in top 5 for my personal wrestlers and then over time other wrestlers came and overshadowed him and he ended up struggling to be in my top 20, didn't even make top 25 by the time he left. I'll always have his World Heavyweight Championship win though and his performance at THAT Survivor Series where Sting first appeared at WWE. They're my two favourite matches of Dolph's.

She's also pretty much the same character she was 10 years ago, which doesn't help.

Farting Nattie was peak Nattie. Only time she was remotely interesting as a character.

Nattie can go it is just that WWE gives her nothing to sink her preverbial teeth into and so she just stays in her....good hand lane.
I expect she will be a notch above her usual self tonight though as she see's this as a dream match of hers.

Nattie as a bitter, old heel who knows her time is coming to an end, really hamming up how angry and bitchy she is for all these young girls coming in would be an excellent spot for her to go do down at NXT once she feels the time is drawing near to hang them up.

Whoever wins the tournaments I just pray they donβt adopt a stupid royalty gimmick for the next few months π
The only time that ever worked was King Booker imo

Some of the booking decisions didn't help, like winning the US title, quitting and relinquishing the US title that he just won, only to be back in the Rumble match not even a month later......

Basically shedding the last vestiges of Bayley's influence on the group.

I believe if you vacate a title for reasons other than injury or retirement, you should never be allowed to challenge for it again. #BeltMark

Lyra vs Asuka is the most intriguing in terms of close (significant) match ups of those tonight IMO. I'm still not sure she will lose her first main roster match, but on the other hand, she was just drafted as the 2nd RAW pick of the 5th round, so their 10th pick overall, had she have been drafted in the first round like Melo, or even the 2nd round, then you'd think she would be a sure fire winner and a reasonable contender for the crown, but as it is, I wouldn't be too surprised if it was a close defeat where she was allowed to look good, and not a 2 min match like what we might get from Zoey/Ivy and Shayna/Zelina. I work in the office twice a week, on a Mon and Wed, but with today being a bank holiday here in the UK, I've got to go in tomorrow instead, so for the first time in absolutely ages I won't be watching RAW first thing when I get up on a Tuesday. Even more annoying is that I have a 2 hour train ride, so if I want to avoid results and spoilers, I'll have to keep off here, Twitter, YouTube etc. Asuka vs. Lyra feels like the biggest toss up out of all of these as to who will win?

I did not even think of that lol she can call it like ROYAL QUEST or something similar in a nice call back to Queens Quest.

I didn't expect there to be so much discussion about me saying Lyra has haters. I was just making a lame joke. It was really just directed at one person.
