Mandy and Sonya need to do another one of these videos for old time's sake, before Mandy's girls kill her tonight.

WWE officially announced Zoey is out due to injury and Nikkita is "medically unavailable" so Toxic Attraction is replacing them. Nikkita can't get into Canada? wonder Q..I mean Y..why 🤣 You'd think they would've confirmed her vaccination status first before putting her into this tournament and running a vignette for her last week

Will be interesting how it goes as you probably don't want Toxic losing their first match on the main roster. However if it's just a one off for the tournament then I guess it doesn't matter. Also I'm assuming Sonya/Natalya were penciled into to beat Zoey/Nikkita with the babyface team of Aliyah/Raquel being the opponents in the next round. I imagine Toxic will probably win tonight, but then lose next week to Raquel/Aliyah. Natalya is basically going to be the babyface tonight no matter who they throw her up against anyways, since they are in Montreal. I don't think this changes the end result of Control winning the tag titles at all though. Control winning does seem like almost a lock as they clearly have a lot of plans for them. As far as suspense goes I think Alexa/Asuka against Toxic would make for a better match in that it would be hard to predict who would win. Control against Raquel/Aliyah (which I agree is what we are likely getting) would be so obvious.

WWE, I don’t ask for much, but if you could do me a solid and give me Gunther/Sheamus, I would very much appreciate it

I don't see Control losing but having Alexa/Asuka lose and then having them lose again at the Clash would seem a little much. I could totally see a non finish in the match, which sets up the SD side of the bracket being the finals.

Is that the graphic they've been using for Sheamus lately and not him in his jacket and derby? If they get rid of the Peaky Blinders Tribute act I am going to be so pissed.

Control against Raquel/Aliyah (which I agree is what we are likely getting) would be so obvious. I don't think you want to have Control losing any time soon though either, which is the problem, no matter how "protected" it would be. Just because a result is obvious doesn't make it bad. Swerves for the sake of swerving is bad booking. Having Control lose now would pretty much completely defang them, unless the plan is to have someone like Dakota or Iyo beat Bianca for the title (note how I left Bayley out of the equation here). Because otherwise their ceiling will basically be cemented as "Bayley's henchpeople", which is not a good place to be, especially since they've been trying to present this stable as equals. I also don't really see Toxic getting much of a spotlight until Mandy is called up again. They will be tag champs at some point, but it won't be for awhile. They haven't had the build yet, and are complete and utter unknowns outside of Mandy, who lets be honest here, has been ice cold outside of her pairing with Otis.

Nah, the way I see it breaking down is Control wins the tag titles, and then Bayley pins Bianca at Clash (probably dirty) to get a title match at Extreme Rules or something, where (Bianca) she doesn't need to get pinned to lose the title. You can then work from there.

I have a tough time seeing them job out Alexa/Asuka back to back in big matches like that too especially since you know they aren't going to have Belair get pinned in the six woman. I think you are onto to something with a non finish on the Raw side like a Double DQ or something after Bianca and Bayley get involved which then would make the SD semis the finals. They could then just do the finals on SD instead having the awkwardness of deciding which team is going to have to go to the others show.

They could then just do the finals on SD instead having the awkwardness of deciding which team is going to have to go to the others show. I mentioned it in my post above, but I feel like they aren't going to go to a non-finish in front of a crowd that is going to be as hot as the Montreal crowd, and while I Alexa/Asuka are gonna lose on Monday, I feel like Bianca is gonna eat the pin at Clash to set up Bayley getting a title match at Extreme Rules. It might not be clean, but it's incredibly likely. It also gives them a way to book a match where Bianca doesn't actually have to get pinned to lose the title. I also don't think they are pivoting from their plans of Control getting all the gold either. The problem is that Nikkita is likely unvaccinated, and Zoey is injured, so they had to scramble together this replacement. Apparently according to PWInsider, this change was only decided within the last 24 hours. I think regardless of who goes over tonight, they are going to be running Raquel/Aliyah vs Control in the finals, with Control winning after Raquel either gets overwhelmed, or Aliyah messes up.

You can then work from there. I think with Gigi and Jacy maybe they should get away from the sex appeal gimmick (which is more Mandy's deal anyway) and make them more of a grittier brawler heel team which is what the vignette of them a few weeks ago seemed to be hinting at. I think there's something there with them. Problem for them is going to in ring work especially Gigi whom I don't know what the problem is (injury? weight gain?, combination of both?) but her work like isn't even passable anymore as like literally everything she does now looks awkward and bad. Jacy while a little better isn't exactly some top notch worker either. Maybe calling them up and having them work more experienced wrestlers will help. Preferably Raw where you have the likes of Becky and Asuka as faces which is whom they would be working with. Even someone like Alexa who while I wouldn't say is a great wrestler by any means is at least ok and has some experience. I honestly get the feeling that they are maybe splitting Toxic up with Mandy staying in NXT for the time being and Gigi and Jacy staying together as a duo. They had YouTube exclusive interview with Mandy where the other two weren't there and she took credit for all of their success saying she led them to the titles and put them on the map. Them losing tonight I think would maybe plant the seeds for more dissension in that Mandy could be like "I opened the door for you to get in the tournament by injuring Zoey and you blew it".

Me when Butch becomes Pete Dunne again: "HHH sucks, bring back Vince!" Man, he could have Aliyah win the Royal Rumble and then the title at WrestleMania and I still wouldn't forgive him for this!! Okay, I would, but it would be very difficult.
