Yes, Asuka's finally found someone scarier than her! Asuka/Cross. I want every single bit of that.

Outside of the fisherman suplex Roode has always had some pretty lackluster finishers. I particularly didn't care for the Roode Bomb. The move itself or the name. ...why DOESN'T he just use the perfect plex? It's not like they're using Axel for anything anymore. Or just let him use the Crossface. Have him scream "GLORIOUS!" in their ear while he does it. --------------------- I enjoyed this episode. Still love Billie Kay's entrace song. Wish Peyton would develop more, but both are decent on the mic. I hope Daria tightens her game up. She could easily be one of my favorite wrestlers if she pulls a Sasha Banks and in a couple years just clicks with her gimmick. As much as I was pulling for Tye, I want him to be 'rewarded' with a main roster spot for all of his hard work and get that #10 at the Rumble. He'll be made in one night. If they don't do this it will be yet another wasted Royal Rumble opportunity and I guarantee a portion of the crowd will boo. Great fatal 4way, and glad Roddy looked strong (pun intended). Roode was the right choice and would be a strong character to carry the title so Nakamura can debut for Wrestlemania (in my dream scenario). The rebuilding phase is slowly coming along, but looks promising. And all of the yes to Asuka vs. Cross. I'm glad she has more than one person gunning for her, makes her feel even more legitimate as champion.

Ah the Battle of the Bulls tournament continues!
So happy for the 4 Shimmer girls on this roster. Cross vs Auska is a dream match. Nikki needs to cut a promo before every match like in Shimmer.

Good on the ref calling the match. Could have ended up worse if they hit their finisher.

4Way was okay, nothing special in terms of action but the storytelling with Dillinger was great.
I am really hoping for/looking forward to Tye/Roode for the belt Mania weekend. That could be huge.
Like Asuka dismissing Billie and Peyton then looking at Cross and knowing she has found someone to at least have some fun with. Amazing what crazy does. I expect Peyton and Billie to cost Asuka the title because of how she treats them.
The tag titles seem destined for AoP but then what? Otis and Tucker? Another #DIY redemption angle? Face Revival? Tag division seems slim right now.

I liked the 4-way. I bit on the Dillinger finish a little bit. It was well done enough to keep me interested. Better than another Joe/Nakamura match.
The tag division does seem super weak. DIY is great, but way too polished to stick around. Same for The Revival, who it's an abomination that they aren't on the main roster today. AoP and TM61 have the combined charisma of 4 pieces of plain toast. They need to start throwing some guys together and praying for another DIY to click, however unlikely that it may be.

They are really going to stretch this Tye not being able to beat Roode till Orlando aren't they? Roode is somehow going to beat Nakamura and it's going to be Tye vs Roode at Takeover Orlando. I really wish they'd stop using the Daniel Bryan approach now.

I really wish they'd stop using the Daniel Bryan approach now. It sounds more like Raven v Tommy Dreamer when you put it like that. I've never had an issue with the babyface chase towards the big win, because by the end of it you want them to win SO DAMN BAD and it feels so good when they do. Hell, they just did it successfully with #DIY. I don't see what makes Dillinger so different that he has to have that win right now, because it's not like he's losing the crowds. Is it just general cynicism?
