You should try watching it some time. I know suggesting Nikki has any redeeming features is somehow the worst opinion anyone in AV Club comments can have, but I'd say that was the best Smackdown women's match since the brand split.

Rushed development? Naomi's been on the main roster for five years!

I don't see how they get to Nakamura in four weeks, given next week will be taken up with the #1 contender match. Main roster TV isn't NXT, you can't just say "trust us, this guy's really good and cool" as a whole build-up for Mania.

Breezedango is no real difference from Golden Truth or the Shining Stars, teams that apparently don't matter so nothing they do is allowed to land or progress. People forget how big a deal Breeze was in NXT, he main evented the Fatal 4-Way Takeover beat Zayn clean at the previous special and Itami at a 2/3 falls, much…

I know there's this "WWE contacting former women for something" story, but what would be the reasoning, with five shows left and at least three distinct feuds, to putting the Smackdown women they're quietly advancing forward thinking stories with in a throwaway nostalgia battle royal?

It still seems weird to me that Luke Harper might get a main event world title match at Wrestlemania having never been a main eventer six weeks before.

Story is Cena requested it because he wanted to do something with Nikki while she still could.

Taking the women's title off someone who'll likely be OK to wrestle by the next PPV is reminiscent of the mess Raw got itself into with Sasha just in August, where she lost unexpectedly at Summerslam because she needed injury time off only to return two weeks later - and it's especially notable if you're then…

Heels aren't supposed to draw.

Giving Bayley the "sole good woman" underdog babyface story, especially as we all expect Sasha to turn sooner rather than later, is going to backfire so badly given every metric says Sasha is currently far more popular than her. But the segment was always going to be rough, because when it was initially framed as…

Nowadays for Cornette this would be quite restrained.

It's also notable that a lot of Koloff's later, immediately pre-WWF contemporaries are either still alive or lived into their 70s and 80s. Bruno Sammartino, who Koloff dethroned, is still around, as are Superstar Billy Graham, Harley Race, Ken Patera, Baron von Raschke and Stan Hansen. Antonio Inoki too. Bob Backlund…

I know she and Saraya are friends with Scott Hall, in the "he sends her morally dubious tweets" sense, so maybe it's him backed up a few years.

It's about her wrestling family, based on a 2012 documentary that shares its title.

Would it be less beneficial for Bayley to win when we know she's losing at the PPV or to be beaten down at her triumph on the biggest stage? You're taking the attention off her either way, but the former is at least giving her grace with the title while the latter has her immediately become secondary in her own story…

Only in a WWE women's division would someone refer to a title win as damaging.

There's still seven Raws between now and Mania. They don't have to do everything in one go.

Or, Joe's a fifteen year veteran who's had a deeply unfortunate run. The Styles Clash has injured several people (including Corey Graves) and broke two opponents' necks in 2014 - is he too dangerous?

Nobody cares about a PPV streak when the larger TV audience has seen Charlotte lose the title four times now. What good do they think this is doing?

Emma was never booked as an asskicker, though. She was still losing short matches on TV when she came back as a heel pre-injury. (By the way, in two weeks' time it will have been longer since the first Emmalina promo than it was between the injury and that promo, and it's not like there's any plans going forward for…
