My favorite thing about WWE right now is how "Make everyone sad" has become their prime booking philosophy. They've gotten really good at creating feelings of despair in the audience, it makes for a really enjoyable program!!

They made it so clear that there is NO REMATCH after tonight so hopefully this is done. Anyway, I despised the ending of this match as others have here. I could see having Charlotte tie it and take it to OT, but it needed to be with about 3 minutes left and then they can trade stuff back and forth until we need OT. Seriously, they booked Sasha Banks to tap out with 2 freakin seconds left on the clock! The entire crowd was counting it down, so she knew exactly how much time she had left. And tapped anyway. Talk about a massive burial and I think it was totally unintended.
I'm not even sure what you do with Sasha at this point. It really feels like her career has peaked and there's nothing much else for her to do.

Man Sasha is really bad at the last 10 seconds of Iron Man matches isn't she?

I'm too tired to write out a long-winded explanation to turn their feud into an exact copy of Greg Valentine/Ronnie Garvin and culminates at the Rubmle in a Submission Match featuring dueling knee braces.

That Raw Talk made this all even worse. ANOTHER modern women's storyline having character breaking with Charlotte crying about how emotional she is about the feud.

Nothing matters until the last 30 seconds because you know exactly when the thing is going to end and that it's going to go down to the wire. The rest is just useless filler.

My favorite thing about WWE right now is how "Make everyone sad" has become their prime booking philosophy. Meltzer's mentioned it a few times, but the takeaway WWE had from the whole Daniel Bryan saga in 2013/2014 is that constantly holding your babyface back will really get them over. So they're now applying that philosophy to every babyface in the company (except Roman Reigns because he's getting the classic rocket up the ass push).

Raw has successfully made people turn on the brightest spots of NXT in not just the women's division, but every division.
And have made people turn on pretty much all my favorite wrestlers, or just made them irrecoverable. Sasha, Nia, New Day, even Owens to a degree.
I don't know why people forgive this. Smacdown may not be the best thing since slice bread, but this is unforgivable.

I really had no problem with their feud continuing, I enjoyed all the matches, but from reading this thread I was the only one. They just shouldn't have switched the titles as many times or given Sasha the blowoff win.

I said it once before but it bears repeating:
3 Time Champion
0 Successful Title Defenses
Total Combined Days as Champ: 74
And just to really put that in perspective: That's three title reigns, all of which lasted less than one month.
Less than a year and Sasha's already giving Dolph Ziggler a run for his money as the company's biggest choke artist. In fact, she may have already surpassed him, because at least when Dolph loses a big match, there's a chance that cheating or shenanigans were involved, like Maryse interfering, or getting kicked in the dick. Sasha, on the other hand, lost all three of her defenses clean as a sheet to someone who, back at the beginning of the year, couldn't win anything without her dad there to run interference for her.
How is anyone expected to still get behind a failure like that? At least if it were Bayley you could sympathize with her character, but how are we supposed to sympathize with someone who calls herself 'The Boss' and yet repeatedly proves that she can't close the deal?
This Emmalina gimmick had better be amazing, because if it's not, then Bayley is going to be the only woman worth cheering for on Raw, and who knows how quickly they'll manage to ruin that!
