What a boring card. Is Vince that scared that Ronda vs. Charlotte will be overshadowed that he won’t put any other women’s matches in the show? Yup. Can't let Ronda or Charlotte's ego get bruised again because they had the one of the worst matches on the card at Mania and were completely overshadowed by every other woman on the show. What a boring card. Is Vince that scared that Ronda vs. Charlotte will be overshadowed that he won’t put any other women’s matches in the show? Liv vs Rhea should be on this show too. Liv vs Rhea is basically a TV level match, unfortunately. I think if they had thrown a RAW Women's match on this card, it would have been Becky/Asuka as their feud would definitely be seen as more interesting by the audience. Where with Rhea/Liv, its just "Rhea killing time until she joins Edge's dumb awful spooky stable". |

Card seems a little light. I’m guessing it’ll be one of the 2 and a half hour PPVs that they do from time to time.

Potentially interesting little note about the next PLE (Hell in a Cell) after this one (put in tags just to be safe): {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Becky and Bianca are featured as big focuses of the poster/advertisements for the next event, so don't be shocked if they end up running that match back as a Hell in a Cell match, even if I do think Asuka shouldn't be losing her feud with Becky. Because bringing back Asuka just to have her lose to Becky would be outstandingly terrible booking. |

And Asuka’s role is likely to be making others look good in credible feuds, which is a great role for her. |

I would also argue Asuka should still be winning more than losing. Especially since this Becky feud pretty much necessitates Becky losing if they want to continue portraying her on a downslide before building her back up to face Ronda next year. Yes Asuka is 40 but she sure as hell doesn't look 40 or move like she is. |

She’s an established asskicker. |

Drew and RK-Bro have stood tall over Roman and the Usos 3 shows in a row. That has to be a record for any babyface against heel Roman in the past 2 years. It makes me a little worried they're going to win here though when it would be the perfect opportunity for Roman to take an L without losing the title. Drew getting the pin to position him as no. 1 contender for MITB I think would be the best outcome.

Asuka could do with a W more than Becks considering it's her first program back. You can be, like when Mick Foley began losing too much in his comebacks and it became diminishing returns. But Asuka is nowhere near that. She could lose to this generation’s Austin (likely via cheating) and to Bianca too and still be just fine in that credible gatekeeper role. |

I didn't think they'd have Roman/Drew interact this soon. As a fan I like it, because it increases the odds of Cody/Roman at Summerslam, but idk what you'd do for the big stadium show at Cardiff if not Drew/Roman.

I feel like Becky and Asuka make the most sense to challenge Bianca now.
Personally I would do Bianca vs. Heel Rhea at Summerslam and have the latter win.

Don’t have to feature someone from the area in the main event. |

Do they even do kick off matches or is it a waste of a TWO HOUR preshow for nothing?

The card really looks like an episode of RAW.

Because bringing back Asuka just to have her lose to Becky would be outstandingly terrible booking. Were Ronda and Charlotte on it? Unfortunately I think that would be the women's Hell in a Cell as it's really the only current feud that would warrant it. I find it hard to believe they would leave both of them off card. I know they left Becky and Bianca off Backlash but Charlotte and Ronda feel like even bigger golden children then them. As for Raw I think Becky will probably fight Asuka as that seems like too big of a feud not to blow off on a PPV. On the other hand though I don't know where that would leave Bianca though. I guess against either Sonya or Rhea or maybe they insert her into one of the other programs and do a three way so either her against Becky and Asuka or her against Rhea and Liv. |

The Photoshop job on that Charlotte render is horrific. She looks like she's starving to death. That's supposed to be Charlotte? |

 There's not a lot to say about this one, FAN. The premium live event kinda writes itself. It's gonna be a special night. |
