Saw the order of eliminations for the gauntlet match. Obviously Raquel was going to win but surprised that Liv didn't even get one fall in the match and she lost to Raquel who had already been in the match. It's like she's back to the same spot she was before the title run. Also, cool to see Xia get some pins, she never got a fair shot under Vince. Book your most over face in the match to do nothing and lose to another face who isn't over and has already been in the match. Real schrewd booking there. Seems like they are just going to continue to push Raquel down everyone's throats no matter how unover she is. They’re not even booking Raquel all that well either honestly, which makes it even worse.

I was thinking also someone may have wrestled Umaga & The Usos. I have to look it up before next week. In terms of overall most recent to do it, here's a contender I never would have guessed: The Tonga Kid/Tama/Sam Fatu wrestled Chavo Jr. in 2019 and Chavo's uncle Hector back in 1989. Wow. Thanks.

Someone that wrestled Eddie Guerrero & Chavo Guerrero.... I was thinking also someone may have wrestled Umaga & The Usos. I have to look it up before next week. Or Roman and Rakishi?

I'll watch the street fight. Everything else sounds skip worthy IMO.

I just checked on Cagematch (couldn't earlier being on my phone) and they had 8 house show matches between February 17 and August 4, 1996. So odd, one of those strange pairings you don't think ever would've lined up, yet, there it is.

This is SmackDown's 4th big multi woman match to crown a number one contender in like 5 months.

This is SmackDown's 4th big multi woman match to crown a number one contender in like 5 months. I mean, on one hand I like the idea because it shows nobody is too far gone from being a contender, I guess. But it should be in a rotation of ideas, not the only one. That said, it’s a thankless role this time of year, being the top contender for the main singles belts. 99% of the time this is patently a disposable opponent.

In keeping with the uncle/nephew opponent theme someone has almost certainly wrestled both Mil Mascaras and Alberto Del Rio, can’t think of anyone offhand though(in America at least)

Won't lie and uh...I saw footage floating around online of the women's gauntlet match and the only woman over in that match was Liv. Raquel got no reaction at all even when she was going up against Sonya and Shayna. I really don't see why WWE is so desperate to get her over compared to a lot of other women. The match also completely fell apart once Raquel pinned Liv.

Raquel is the Karrion Kross of the women right now. Someone who Triple H is REALLY high on and is going to try hard to get over with fans.
Except Kross is a better promo imo.

I think one of them was and probably still is on YouTube via fan cam. Yokozuna despite being the biggest baby face jobber to the stars, wins. Yeah, I know it’s a house show but still.

I dunno. I saw a clipped version and the crowd liked the ending, as well as reacting pretty loudly to Shayna's heeling.

I REALLY don’t like Shayna being reduced to just being Ronda’s pin eater sidekick.

More uncle/nephew fun: Chris Jericho has wrestled both Kendall Windham and Bray Wyatt.

Rodriguez being the Rumble title challenger isn’t the rocket push you think it is. Literally anybody else gets that shot, there’d be no shortage of you lot pointing that out.

I don't have any real opinions on Raquel being the Rumble challenger because, like, the SmackDown women's division is a desolate wasteland where pretty much nobody except maybe Liv is any good and not a one of them is the slightest bit credible. It might as well be Raquel because she's just a speedbump for Ronda to have another shit match with on the road to Mania anyway.
