Shout out to the KCs and Kabuki Warriors for putting on another good match, even if the crowd didn't care. The KC's are just so lame and annoying. Talented wrestlers for sure but hard to care about them as faces. I would say turn them heel but they're both so tiny I don't think they would be believable in that role.

Never been a fan either, but I give credit where it's due!

Not to get all conspiracy theory styled but I have been wondering if there were some chants being muted during both the tag and Becky/Nia matches because neither were bad but the crowd was deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeead quiet. Certainly more quiet than the matches deserved, usually in the worst of places matches like those still get much more than that. Didn't think about it until I also noticed the crowd being very quiet at odd spots during the main event and it turned out they were muting the crowd pretty often during it.
Either way, HHH has a lot of work to do on the women's side of the roster. Too much talent to let it go to waste and it'll only get tougher later on because NXT has a giant group of promising talent.

"Come on don't tell me you don't have four more reps in you" I dunno why they haven't tried Kross as a face. There's nothing left to lose there. That has always been one of the most baffling things to me too. I mean they've tried getting him over as angry brooding heel guy for like six years now and it hasn't worked. He's clearly a really funny and charismatic guy. Why not make him into a comedy face character? Only thing I can think is maybe he doesn't want to go in that direction since that means it would probably lead to his wife being split him from and possibly discarded.

Both matches were fine and matches half as hot or good get way more cheers! Gooble gobble! Rah! Triple H does such a half-assed job with the women's tag titles. They are usually featured on the show but with 0 reason to care or any thought behind it. Almost every single match you get a shot during the match of the women's tag teams not in the match watching on the monitor. It's just win a contender's match & challenge for the titles, with nothing of substance behind it. It's a shame Charlotte got hurt because I really thought a team of her & Shotzi could've been what the Women's Tag Titles needed. They played off each other so well right before Charlotte got hurt. It would've been such a simple storyline to do. They win some matches, challenge for the titles & lose because Shotzi got pinned. Shotzi apologizes & Charlotte tells her basically "Don't worry about it, we'll get them next time." Rematch happens and they lose again with Shotzi losing again. Shotzi get's really depressed and tries to break up the team because she keeps letting them down. Play up Charlotte being the most successful woman in company history, while Shotzi's never won a title on the main roster. Charlotte convinces her that she doesn't care and she's having the time of her life teaming with Shotzi & convinces Shotzi for one more run at the titles. They win the titles on the 3rd match with Shotzi getting the pin. They can have a nice little reign out of that & you could get 6 months out of that the storyline. It would keep Charlotte out of the main title picture for a bit, while still being in a heavily featured storyline. It gives people a reason to care about the titles and makes them seem important. Everybody wins. The only downside is A Little Doo Doo is happy because Shotzi wins a title, but I can live with that.

That crowd was uncomfortably quiet during the tag match. Did they mistake Kairi for Tegan or something.

I hope the kabuki warriors get a title match at Mania. I'm enjoying what they've been doing so far Like I said in the Jade thread, Kabuki Warriors vs. Jade and Bianca would be fun. But I guess the problem with that is I doubt the Kabuki Warriors would win and I know everyone wants to see Asuka finally get a WM win. Asuka is my favorite wrestler ever. I want Asuka to get that Wrestlemania win, but I also want it to mean something. I hope Asuka's win does not come this year. Asuka getting her only Wrestlemania win in a tag match no one will care about is worse than her never getting that win in my opinion.
The women's tag division is so lost right now. If they want to do Bianca and Jade vs Kabuki Warriors, and have Kabuki Warriors lose. I'm perfectly ok with that. It's a way better option than having Kabuki warriors in some multi team cluster match filled with the likes of Tegan Nox, Natalia, and the KCs.
My ideal scenario for Asuka to finally get her Wrestlemania win is against Charlotte. There's enough history there to make a big deal of it.

Ludwig Kaiser, Finlay... Someone can you please teach Tiffy Stratton to do an Air Raid Clash? I'm just saying that is a cool, safe move that would work as a finisher or false finish that would be a smooth af transition out of the cartwheel lift she does into an Alabama Slam.

-34 was the only Wrestlemania they even had major plans for Asuka; where she lost to Charlotte. The result was sad for Asuka fans, but there was an actual build at least.
-35 they screwed her over by having her drop the Smackdown Women's title to Charlotte 2 weeks before Mania for no reason. That show was like 18 hours long. The decently popular woman who was champion 2 weeks ago and handed Becky her last clean loss had no place on the card...throw her as a extra body in the Battle Royal...ugh!
-36 was where Kabuki Warriors lost the titles to Bliss and Cross (this might have been a plan, but also it was just filler) -37 was where the plan was Lacey Evans vs Charlotte. Then Rhea is subbed in last minute, and they completely memory hole this to tell Rhea's "Revenge on Charlotte story for 39" -38 she was not on the card. -39 they did have a plan. The plan just sucked. The plan was she got jobbed out so much over the year they had to repackage her to job to Bianca again so Bianca can have a meaningless "longest reign" stat pad. A total waste of the repackage fans wanted to see. It wasn't even much of a repackage, it was Malibu Stacy with a new hat. Then, Bianca ends up dropping the title to Asuka in Saudi Arabia. Should have done that at Mania! Arrgghh.
-40 So far no plan. Unless you want to count her part in the kinda racist Bayley story where Askua and her friends are untrustworthy becasue they don't speak English as a first language. (Everyone is praising that segment, but I found it kind of disgusting)

I think Asuka was out with a shoulder injury during WM 38, so that could have been why.
