OK, we've mocked it for years but the Rear View must be legit if it knocked AJ Styles out of the ring like that.

Truth still wants to pin Carmella. We’re getting that spot next week and this makes me happy. |

The last time Asuka and Carmella tangled on MMC. How did we not have this on hand when Asuka dropped two straight (shenanigan-heavy, though) on PPV to Carmella? |

Asuka is probably getting her win back against Carmella next week on the MMC. As for tonight, she was fine. People aren't happy with how she's booked right now (most importantly, the quality of the match), but there really are no heels that she can feud with that would be able to keep up with her. And Charlotte and Becky are both feuding with each other still.
Honestly I feel like if they start to rehab Asuka closer to Wrestlemania season, and they do run Becky/Asuka, there's a very good chance the crowd may actually be split on who to cheer, assuming WWE is still trying to portray Becky as a heel. There are no other big matches on that brand they could run for the Smackdown Women's title. I assume it'll be a singles match again, since they have the women's battle royal on the pre-show now.

I think that by WrestleMania it would probably lean more towards Asuka as the sentimental favourite, largely because Lynch would have (probably) had her nice long run with the belt that she'd earned (which is pretty much all most people wanted out of this) and Asuka would have become, for lack of a better term, the new Lynch in regards to her work being overlooked in terms of getting gold out of it. |

Largely agreed, but don't underestimate Becky fans. I've seen a decent chunk claim that she should get a long reign, and retain at Wrestlemania because she deserves a Wrestlemania Moment. I feel like right now Becky is popular because she was overlooked. Her reactions are slowly going to die down over time, or the crowd will start to turn on her, which is why I believe WWE is going to stick with trying to portray her as a heel. It also doesn't help that I don't think Becky's current character would float all that well with any other woman but Charlotte. If Becky tries pulling the stuff she is now on other female babyfaces, it probably won't go over as well with the crowd. Because Naomi, Asuka, and I guess Lana don't have nepotism to lean on, which is where a lot of the ire from the fans seems to be coming from. |

I'm fine with her holding it until WM and losing it there. I just want to see her get a one on one match at WM because she does deserve that much. But I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be fine with her getting her own reign of terror too. lol |

For all the criticism Becky turning heel has gotten, its actually been very smart and logical in terms of long-term planning. If Ronda/Charlotte is the plan for the Raw title, then SDL needs a new top woman to fill that gap, and Becky is an excellent choice. Charlotte putting Becky over so strongly (Becky won clean at HIAC and has come out on top in every single segment so far) makes Becky more of a star and also makes Charlotte look more vulnerable.

Watching MMC now, I'm REALLY enjoying them letting AJ and Jimmy do their own thang sorta working the crowd it's totally anti-WWE-style wrestling and I love it Maggle and Viccle and Renezzle Edit: Also loved this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkA3OjqeIJY |
