And judging this and how Sasha's being portrayed, I'm guessing she'll truly go heel this year and eventually get the Universal Title. Maybe he and Bayley can do their tag team thing for a bit, break up, Sasha goes for the belt and we'll see what happens.

[realist]

Why is stuff like this not on the show? This actually made me care about their match, which I had not done previously.

[GuyOfOwnage]

I love it when they do stuff like this. It really helps foster that big fight feel.

The Boss vs The Man. That’d be something, especially since they haven’t interacted since early 2016.

The fact they don't show this shit on TV goes to show they really dont give a shit about this New Fresh Start, or they would actually try and get you invested in a match outside of these two idiots shouting at each other.

Because the writing team didn't write it, mostly. Because it's not Vince's idea of what would build a match, because it's not a scripted in-ring promo. In so many ways, it's too modern and too "real television" for the tastes of the people in charge of putting the show together, which is why we can't ever get this kind of stuff on the three hour show full of filler, no matter how great it would be and how much more interesting it'd make the show. It's kind of frustrating, honestly.

....but there is room for an Apollo Crews/Bobby Lashley posedown...

I'm going to let you in on a bit of perspective here. WWE's product is written lazily. It's an expensive bottle episode. Everything happens in the ring or in the arena, no thought given to venturing into other places or to doing interesting and different things save for maybe a coming-soon vignette. The thought of going somewhere else or setting up something like this falls onto the web content people, who are on their own thing and don't have Vince writing for them, and that's how these things happen. There are only a handful of locations everything takes place in: the ringside area (which counts the entrance ramp and commentary booth), the interview area, a locker room, and a nondescript backstage area where someone can walk menacingly or Riott Squad can do juvenile heel things. Some weeks you get an office or a parking lot or catering, but even those locations all take place within the building. There's a reason for that, and it's why the idea of quality doesn't matter, why a complex video package of Sasha training doesn't get written by Vince but a posedown--which is exactly what people are begging to see in 2019--does.

I've experienced this in my own work as a writer before so I'm not just talking out of my ass here: moving locations, adding something, changing things, "doing something" that isn't just this same thing, takes work. I've had times where I just want something finished and off my desk, and I'm willing to fudge around and not make a move to somewhere or add in some new entire thing that's going to make this longer and more complicated to work on. By setting almost everything in the ring and otherwise setting it all in the arena, there is no need for anyone to have to put in work thinking it through or coming up with ideas for how to present it. Nobody has to think or work too hard to do it. It just gets put out without thinking too hard about it, and everyone moves on.

It's why WWE puts out really good documentaries. Why they have this weird backstage perspective product removed in all ways from the direction of the people who write the show that end up being really interesting and good. Why their online content people put out interesting videos like this. There's people willing to put in that effort and do the work, and it's developed in parallel to the show being hastily rewritten the day of.

It’s a promo style that doesn’t get used enough... I remember HBK/Bret Ironman, Rock/Brock, and Mayweather/Show. All of then made big matches, feel even bigger. My favorite Show moment is he’s sitting at table at his house, eating breakfast or something, wearing glasses, and just looks camera nonchalantly answers I’m tear that guy apart.

Sasha and Charlotte making HISTORY again!

In all seriousness, this is cool.

Amazing Red on WWE TV. Yeah, that's cool.

Sasha's winning with the CHIKARA Special.

[RadcapRadsley]

Don't trust her Sasha she is probably telling Ronda your gameplan,Charlotte will betray you like when she attacked Becky Lynch's fist with her face and Becky Lynch's chair with her back in 2018.

This was amazing. As others have said this did more to sell the match-up on Sunday than any of the previous awkward build has done.
This helps put the legit back in Sasha's "Legit Boss", and should have been shown on Raw.
Hell I'm one of Sasha's biggest critics, and this made her look fantastic.

Plus, Amazing Red getting into a WWE produced video?! What a crazy time we live in.

Speaking of a move that should be in 2k20...hell, should've been in 2k19.

so Sasha's best bet is either using a weedwhacker or hoping one side of the ring explodes accidentally
