A shame it wasn't the main because any other situation it more than should have been. An awesome, awesome match with the right call. I think Charlotte burnout clouds a lot of us in remembering that when she's on she is on and this was no exception.

I had high expectations of it and they blew them away. Fantastic match.

Incredible. Stiff. Visceral..those women went for it. Terrifying at times and the right woman won. Incredible match.

I thought it was way better than their first WM match because they actually felt like equals.

Given the less than ideal circumstances they were dealt with, the fact that we got a fan-f***ing-tastic match from them is even more impressive.

It felt like a fight that wouldn't end until one beat the other to the ground... It was awesome.

That had a very “We’ll show then we should’ve been the main event!” vibe to it.
Only negative was Charlotte once again pretty much no-selling a loss by smiling and laughing on the outside.

They beat the hell out of each other, with some of those bumps, particularly *that* German Charlotte took looking scary as hell.

TBF that has been a thing in big Women’s Mania match for awhile now. Sasha was caught on camera smiling when Bianca beat her at Mania. Same with Becky. Even Roxanne was smiling when Indi Hartwell won at the NXT show.

Match of the night.
They beat the shit out of each other.
Charlotte nearly breaking her neck twice... was not good.

I thought it was way better than their first WM match because they actually felt like equals. Which in the end was very fitting storytelling. Also note that Rhea finished Charlotte off the same way she won the NXT belt from Shayna back in 2019, the run that first brought her into Charlotte's orbit.
I think it speaks to how incredible a job they did that not only did they get the crowd rapt for it even following up Dom/Rey, but that despite all the circumstances being in the tag match's favour for getting the main event slot, we can say that either match would have killed it in that spot.

Even if they delivered a main event level match I think they put it in the right spot because who knows how that crowd reacts after Sami/Kevin. The crowd was a little tired during that match, even.
I think it was the best possible case for them, tbh. They delivered on a huge stage and had people thinking they deserved more.

I was scared at the end. But it went the right way, and was a great match.
Charlotte’s expressions at the end were kind of bizarre, but what would a Charlotte experience be without some wierdness?

Slow build city, but everything picked up really well by the end, and the right Mami dominated.
Some REALLY stiff spots and callbacks to their previous Mania encounter (very loud grunting included).
Was a lot better than I expected, and has to be at least in the upper pantheon of all-time Western women's matches.

Good match made better by Charlotte almost dying on a couple of those suplexes. Rhea winning was the only way to book it and the right way to book it.
I’m guessing that Charlotte either moves over to Raw for Bianca activities or takes another leave for a while now.

It's legitimately crazy that she's where she is and she's only 26.
