So like the crowd doesn’t seem to care about Gunther despite being booked like a monster…

Vince just can't accept that a big guy beating up nobodies doesn't work any more. He did the same thing in recent years with Lars Sullivan and Erick Rowan, and nobody responded to them, either.

I think they can work but they need to be really spectacular and Gunther is working more main roster now than he has before. He needs a real feud soon. These squashes won't help his cause. 

[Indiana Miz]

Xia literally saved one person and got pissed about it.

[Gawk Rivers]

God damn Xia Li is the worst protector ever she turned evil after like a single setback

[knsffa]

Xia turns heel, but how long does she remain there or before they forget they had her on tv again?

[zrowsdower]

So I guess she's become chinese Rorschach

WWE will give their women usually more time than AEW does per week, but it's a f***ing monkey's paw of shit, because that time goes to bad Charlotte promos and f***ing random ass heel turns for no reason...

[asuka007]

Vince, Bruce, and Johnny Ace REALLY leaning into the “foreign heel” trope now.

[xCompackx]

I don't get the impression Xia Li is long for WWE.

xia li before protecting: i am the protector. i will keep the people safe.

xia li after a single crisis situation: i don't have time for emotional labor right now

What a weak heel turn.

Raquel should have turned heel instead.

Last summer.


But in grey area canon she did and the crowds agreed.


And now on Smackdown she will get no reaction, for real.

[Deleted]

What if Riddle turns heel and Xia Li becomes his Brotector?

I had that impression months ago, frankly...

"I WAS THE PROTECTOR, BUT I SEE NO ONE WORTH PROTECTING, SO I PROTECT MYSELF"

All those f***ing vignettes, all that time spent, to have her appear like three f***ing times, have her disappear again, and now she's ANOTHER F***ING HEEL on Smackdown

I hate it here bruh lmfao

Float like a butterfly
Sting like a bee
EVERYONE is evil

I don’t see it imo. To me he’s another square peg. Unpopular opinion, but they imo actually saved Pete Dunne by making him Butch. Can’t see a similar transition for Walter.

I think the girls would rather be on TV doing something rather than be on youtube every week but hey what do I know.

They built her up like a f***ing superhero with intense backstory comic graphics and she saved all of ONE person and said "You know what? F*** my entire life's meaning!" lmfao

And then she'd frown all the time, instead.
