Has there ever been a Muslim WWE champ? WWE stays f***ing the football with Sami. Hopefully he gets it even if they missed the best opportunity in Montreal.

I think the thing I hate most is seeing people justify Bianca likely retaining tomorrow by saying she needs to break Trish's record as champion. It's just...dumb. Bianca's reign is on life support and the longer this goes on, the more and more I just want to see her as far away from the title picture as possible. It doesn't help that if Bianca wins, she has absolutely no one to feud with either. I guess maybe Lacey Evans but absolutely no one wants to see that feud and it would be just another heatless feud. Meanwhile Asuka has a huge pool of women she can feud with if she were to win tomorrow. Man, I'm so sick of hearing about these records.

Asuka exists to lose to the champions at this point.

WWE touting about title records on a show with pre-determined outcomes is just them hob knobbing themselves as hard as they can.
And as soon as I saw someone mention the next "record" is Trish's during Backlash I was just FFS I fully expect that is what they are shooting for.

Seriously records are just kinda interesting factoids in wrestling. Most go to the old timers cause wrestling was a completely different beast at that time. No one asks what records the Rock or Austin or even Cena broke because they didn't need to make them look more impressive than they were.

The problem with Triple H's booking is that he is absolutely obsessed with records being broken. It's likely if he lets Bianca beat Trish's record, they'll keep the strap on her until she beats Rockin' Robin's record probably. Which completely sucks because Bianca's reign is completely out of fuel and it's just harming the entire division at this point, and has significantly magnified all of Bianca's flaws because she's just steamrolled over everyone without ever being threatened even once.

WWE has had this stupid obsession with revolving their "stories" around breaking records because gawd forbid they actually tell stories instead of just going.
So and so is so imporant because they are gonna break this superfluous record that the audience could not care less about it.
And it really encapsulates how absoloutley lazy and creatively bankrupt they are.

I saw a post on social media that was gaining traction when I last checked it, but it feels like Asuka is only getting this match because its AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) month, and nothing more than that. Which honestly, isn't hard to believe. WWE loves its tokenism after all.

They absurd thing about Biancaβs record, is that itβs only 3 years old. And it was set by a woman who vacated the title to go have a child. At least with Gunther heβs going for a record that was set a long time ago.

I mean she also got the Mania title match, and has been in a ton of title matches (and won alot of them!), so seems like a stretch.

Asuka has only won main roster singles title matches whenever they don't have a "big star" around. That's it. Otherwise she is just used as a filler challenger despite being one of the most popular women on the roster.

I'm sick to death of these "record setting" title reigns.

Uncle Paul is definitely a little obssessed with long title reigns. Knowing this, I guess if he was head booker during his run on top from 1999-2005, he would be champions years on end!

I don't think its "a little obsessed", it is absolutely obsessed at this point. Outside of the Smackdown Women's Title, every main roster singles title is either really close to six months (Theory is only around 5 days away from the six month mark), or approaching a year or more (for most champions), or 1000+ days in the case of Roman. Having this many long runs all at once is absolutely terrible. And in the case of Bianca she hasn't evolved at all since winning the title over a year ago and its clear fatigue is setting in on her reign because none of her feuds are compelling since she can't carry a promo to save her life and her matches are incredibly scripted to where its mainly focused around her steamrolling people and borderline no selling their offense.
