Over / Under she drops in @ NXT No Mercy on 9/1?

Her pop gonna be wild when she shows up, aura for days

Change your avy, imposter

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Agreed.

This Mami/Dominick Guerrero/Liv storyline prolly gonna last for maybe the rest of the year though.

Trips gonna drag the Mami trying to get her revenge on Dom and Live for at least a couple months where she finally Dom and Live finally get their comeuppance at Bad Blood.

Then from there, Mami feuds with.......CITB?

Not many other viable options with BTB on sabbatical. Mami doesn't need another match with her anyway.

That storyline is just WWE being WWE.

Again, the biggest pushback is it HAS to end in a physical battle between RHea and Liv and we know that is as much of a mismatch as there could possibly be.

So the story can be entertaining (to some) but when they have to battle it's going to take a LOT to take Liv seriously in that match.

Wrestling fans that get married gotta stop putting their brides through this goofy behavior man. It ain't your day.

My man Jey really picked up Carlito’s apple and took a bite

 

[djlunchbox]

Dude on Twitter really beefing with Val Venis that he’s looking to buy the trademark/copyright for “Val Venis” so Val has to change all his socials

Also Jey needs a new push or he needs to team up with Jimmy or Cody again after Codeman drops the belt to me on Saturday.
I can see Jey in the running for US champ after Knight takes it from Logan.

Rhea was looking fire last night. Lol

 

[djlunchbox]

But AEW stans want me to care about 2 dudes going at it for an hour when their beef was only 3-4 weeks developed?

Wrestling is a soap opera for dudes. Always has been. From Ric Flair, to the million dollar man to the Sgt slaughter vs America story, storylines and being invested in why people are wrasslin’ matters. If i just wanted to see graps I’d watch NCAA or the Olympics.

The turn on Rhea at SS about to be nuts. Remember Rhea beat the crap outta Dom before. This storyline will continue till survivor series where it might be new JD vs old JD

Similar to when Liv was the champion and feuding with Ronda.

At least she has been presented better as champion (thus far) how this finishes will be the interesting part.

Liv should be one of the main women vying for those midcard titles whenever Trips introduces them.

Is this what they call "doing tricks on it"?

A lot of Ds though

 

[noblekane]

I liked Rhea's character better when she was a killer world champion more than the soap opera love triangle stuff

No offense to the gooners

any love storyline in wrestling is ******* stupid. im not sure why wresling still does these outdated things and who they do it for

Stories are needed in wrestling to give fans a reason to care about the upcoming match.

However, when the match the company wants us to care about is a physical/skill/technical mismatch, it's hard to look at the story as anything other than JUST a story.

If this was a midcard womens story between Liv and Dakota Kai, then it would be easier to get into. But with arguably the best woman in the world and Liv Morgan? Nah man, WWE do better.
