They could have Charlotte trying to upstage Becky,I damn sure Believe Charlotte can take the man. Or Rhea Ripley,girl is a beast, she would also works and is MUCH better than Nia. None of them have the girth of Nia While they can most likely beat up men, they can't man handle them like she was doing
Also don't want to put Rhea in that spot when they are building her up for the UK brand and it would make no sense for her to do that
Rhea is a f***ing house and Charlotte is almost a Beth Phoenix muscle wise.I know THAT spot didnt make sense for Rhea,but you could find other ways.I`m sure both could take better than Nia.

She looked at a badass and made people cheer for her. There was a Mania years ago where Vicki hit a frog splash to win a match. I thought it was a beautiful tribute to Eddie, but the commentary sold it like it was a joke. This wasn’t that. They cheered for the men to kick her ass. Lmao

Highlight of an overall lackluster Rumble. I wasn't a fan of her eliminating Ali (who they can still transition to a feud with Nakamura over the US title following his elimination), but everything else was great. Orton's body language the whole segment was hilarious.

Nia went in there to take moves, in the end it's not really going add to her street cred
All people is going to remember is she took finishers. She was Big Show

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? For me, I’d say it’s between her and Kharma as the best appearance. While historic, both of Chyna’s Rumble appearances were pretty poor. Both involved going after the guys she was feuding with, only to quickly get eliminated. They’re interchangeable really. Beth’s was a fun surprise, and her going toe to toe with Punk was awesome, but I hated the spot with her kissing Khali to eliminate him. Kharma was a HUGE surprise, and pretty much perfectly booked. Right, but I just meant duration in the match.

That, and I mean, botch or not, bloodying Becky did demonstrate that Nia obviously DOES have legitimate power. It's not like someone like Nicole Bass where she was tall and huge, but couldn't slam people worth a shit.

Yeh but both of those girl could take moves that the point. Nia was there because she is supposed to be an impressive monster.But she never comes that way.

I think Nia was also probably included because it was Becky's night. Who do people have heat with for hurting Becky? Who would they pop for getting taken out?

She did all the usual monster spots, any other big or muscular girl could have taken her spots. Yeh she can take moves ,but she is not the only one.

It felt like a "getting written out of the company" spot.
I mean, I know it wasn't. She's not going anywhere.
But it certainly felt like it.

Yup. Heel spot who tried her hand in a different setting. This was Doctor Doom ripping a hole in reality, f***ing with DC dudes, and getting stuck in the Source Wall for giggles. A video game or comic book spot. Nothing icky. Nothing too deep. Just fun. And she was good at it too.

I liked it at first but seeing some of the reactions on social media from people makes me feel a little gross about it. Exactly. That and the commentary did all but nothing to say "oh, this is a bit of an awkward situation for these guys". They were laughing about it and saying things like "she got what she asked for". So it did nothing to preempt the reveling on twitter. I saw one guy say it was a "big fu to Gillette" *shudder* Incidentally, I don't really have a problem with intergender wrestling as a concept. Any local company I've ever gone to see pretty much has to do it due to the simple fact that they don't have enough women. My major issue was the commentary missed the mark pretty badly as they often do.

Pencils down, everyone pass up their answer sheets. Yes that part made sense.It was clear Nia trying to get one over Becky. This is the part of good storytelling,but I feel Charlotte would have filled the role better even then.

It was literally you are the biggest girl, you got heat and fans will cheer you taking the spot
Charlotte while big should not be doing that nor should Rhea or they are trying to make a monster for the UK brand
This isn't some real big win for Nia, she got put in a spot that will be memorable for 2 days and forgotten nor will she reap a title win out this
She's about to get her ass handed to her by Becky again

I get it,i got the point of it. I`m saying she still isnt the best choice even for that because I can`t take her seriously as a monster.But i can take other girls more seriously than her. The spot itself was great, I just think other girls could have done it better.
