I guess that's what happens when you're related to The Rock. You get spots like that that you don't deserve.

I liked it at first but seeing some of the reactions on social media from people makes me feel a little gross about it. Your first problem was looking at the reactions of social media for ANYTHING related to WWE...

One thing I have to question:
Out of all the women in men's Rumble appearances, where does Nia's rank time-wise compared to Chyna 99, Chyna 00, Phoenix 10 and Kharma 12?

I thought it was fine. I also have no issues with Intergender wrestling because it’s a work. It’s not like she got treated unfairly.....she held her own. I think the problem there is that WWE made it weird and icky. They wouldn’t book intergender like a straightforward match, they’d do shit like Umaga vs Maria Kanellis and be really hard to watch.

It was a neat spot I guess but I could see it biting them in the ass if some sponsors get pissed about it.

She's literally the biggest woman on the roster and bigger than some of the men
You want Lana doing that shit?

That legitimately surprised me. I thought man on woman violence, regardless of provocation, was completely off limits.
Whatever the case. It definitely made me pay attention. And I’m someone that thinks Nia isn’t very good:

It's wrestling, and Nia is a dick who robbed someone of her spot and knew what she was getting into Again, if you want a women's evolution, taking them seriously with the men is your next step, not dudes standing around looking scared to touch a near 300 pound women kicking their shit in.

Rey after he hit his move on her looked like he just shot his dog. He was devastated. The whole spot itself is just bizarre to me. I was cracking up because Nia was legit kicking ass but the idea of it is funny. In 2019 you've got a woman getting beaten up by dudes in a Rumble match. Just, man it's 2019 so it even happening is wild to me. It's believable though. Nia can beat ass so that part's cool. I found that funny because you just know Rey wouldn't have thought twice about doing it in Lucha Underground. Right lol. Like here it's a new ballgame but there? Different story for Rey.

Just the latest in a good line of women to enter the men's Rumble now. None of the others were related. Just a thing they like to do with the big girls. And that's fine.

That was some weirdly fun shit. Shoutout to Nia for taking it, and shoutout to Rey, Randy, and Dolph for their expressions during the whole thing.

Like with Beth and Kharma who they name dropped on commentary, they were the biggest/strongest women on the roster at the time

Yeah, so was Bertha Faye but you don't see her in any Rumbles. Wasted spot, for a waste of a performer. Could have used that spot for any number of entrants.

Multiple men showed they didn't want to hit her and even the slimey bastard Orton hesitated Eh, I took Orton's hesitation more like he wanted to strike when she wasn't looking since that's his M.O. Didn't hesitate when he had an easy opening!

Loved it. I was apprehensive when she first came out, but it turned out fun as all get out.

Like seriously, Chyna was Intercontinental Champion, Jackie was Cruiserweight Champion
You can realistically book women to fight men on an even playing field, the Indies do it ALL THE TIME. There's nothing wrong with it. In wrestling you should want to set out to be the best period, and it's above all A SHOW.
This shit is like if you couldn't pick Sonya Blade to fight Sub-Zero in mortal combat or if you did Sub-Zero wouldn't wanna touch her... or if no one wanted to fight Wonder Woman, it's dumb, you can make things feel even and make it feel completely normal, instead of setting this taboo narrative.

If she gets in next year you have a point but to see she got in because The Rock is laughable

A quick look on Twitter and the general response to the spot looks positive. I haven’t seen any gross comments (though I’m sure they exist) and I haven’t seen any complaints (though I’m sure they exist).l but most people seemed to enjoy it, from casual fans to big women’s wrestling fans. I thought it was entertaining. She looked strong to start with then out of her depth. That’s a nice little story for someone in the Rumble.
But then I’ve never had a problem with intergender spots in WWE. Within the universe of wrestling I was glad to see the Dudleyz finally getting their hands on evil Trish Stratus, and wanted to see repercussions when the dastardly Two Man Power Trip destroyed Lita. It’s fiction, it’s part of a story. While I can understand some people’s unease, so much shit happens in wrestling the idea of getting up in arms with that doesn’t really connect for me.
The only thing I really hated was the face Stone Cold stunning Stacy when she didn’t like the taste of his beer. That was shit.
