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. Lol. 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. All of that can be true, but still wouldnβt negate that itβs a stretch to say sheβs being given another title match because of what month it is.

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. I think that one of the main reasons the company is so hot right now is precisely because theyβve made the titles so much more meaningful top to bottom (outside of say the womenβs tag titles), and I think long reigns can sometimes help with that aspect.

In terms of Bianca's title run, they can add a bit of character to this long run by having her start to show signs that being the champ for so long and having so many challengers coming for you is taking a toll on her. Will she continue to try her best to be a fighting champion even with the odds becoming more daunting, or does she start to show how desperate she is in remaining champ by any means necessary?

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. Iron Sheik

I am here. Now I got the advertisement about the expiration for Peacock Premium. And I see that the kickoff show hasn't started yet. Although I will say that I do like the music played in the background for this.

I had the NoC page up early while doing other things in other screens and it started running like six ads in a row, then switched to a blank screen with the Peacock logo in the middle, and finally went back to the "Coverage will begin shortly" page lol.

Rhodes, Rollins vs., Owens and Zayn (C) Gunther, Asuka, Ripley, Becky So we get a sequence where Cody gets the mist, a chop, then a package Piledriver into a Brainbuster into a Riptide then a Dis-Arm-Her. Then he blades.

You can see Roman struggling to not crack a smile at the response Sami is getting at the end of the press conference.
