Oh absolutely. I considered adding a best of NXT section but decided my post was long enough as is. The Revival are a great tag team, much more than the sum of their parts.

AJ Styles, just because he's put on so many classic matches this year. He's an amazing performer who not only always looks great in the ring himself, but lifts other performers up to deliver absolute barnburners time after time. The guy made a feud with Roman Reigns good!

Yeah well, you've just got a mad hate-on for her. She's been the best allround female performer in WWE, no question, and the lack of depth in the division is not on her.

Aw jeez. Merry Christmas, Nattie!

I still think it's a much more legit storytelling device to have a heel running roughshod over the division (no matter what its size) than a face. Talk to me about Cena again once Charlotte has beaten down all comers to the point when no one looks like a credible opponent. Long way to go before we reach that point…

I think she suffers (irreparably?) from the same affliction that's damaged Paige, Nikki Bella and others over the years. Namely, the booking has her flip-flop back and forth between face and heel so often that crowds just don't really know or care how to react to her.

Yeesh. Having just watched it, Nattie's best promo ever was… still not great. A bit of fire doesn't fix flubbing your lines or woodenly trying to shoehorn in the cheapest, lamest "this crowd are idiots" heat.

I'm not sure why that's significant…

It looks like we really do just disagree. To me, Sasha's character desperately needs some extra layers, and her looking for redemption after being unable to put Charlotte away for good is a good start. I don't think she has come away looking "TERRIBLE" at all. She won the belt multiple times!

There's a big difference between super Cena suffocating the main event as a face and Charlotte being established as the dominant heel. She is the big bad, the heel at the top of the mountain.

I was impressed with how technical the start of the iron-man match was! And then the match just got more and more brutal and desperate as it went on, which is how it should be. I thought they did a great job of pacing it.

She's fine in the ring, but just doesn't connect that well with audiences. Probably because she's a remnant of the Total Divas era.

Jeez man, every week you're on here complaining about Charlotte. Give it a rest. The booking has been unusual, sure, but they're obviously doing something with her unbeaten PPV streak. It remains to be seen if it'll be an interesting direction or not.

The more they delay this Emmalina thing, the more likely it's just a big fat swerve, right? It makes no sense to continually tease and then cancel her return and then have nothing happen. She's going to reappear at Roadblock as Evil Emma and beat the hell out of retaining champ Sasha, leaving Charlotte to move on to…

Well why is he still around?

Don't forget that Alpha were pitched from the start as Kurt Angle-style cocky, dorky heels. The NXT crowd just loved their in-ring work so much (especially Gable, though they came around on Jordan) that they had to turn face.

He's a lock for a Rumble appearance.

Yep. WWE is definitely going to rehash the underdog story, and they absolutely should. It's a classic, and it suits Bayley to a tee. Meanwhile Nia is a monster heel, and monster heels can't take a lot of losses before they lose credibility. Seems like good booking on paper to me.

WHY ARE THERE ALWAYS KENDO STICKS UNDER THE RING? IS STEVE BLACKMAN ON THE BACKSTAGE CREW?

I think you're overestmating the number of RAW viewers who watch NXT. WWE absolutely will do the underdog story all over again, just like they're doing with Sami. It suits her character, and had Dana not botched the pin things would've been hunky dory. As it stands they'll possibly have Bayley come back and crush Dana…
