This is what WWE's Blue brand promises us.
What is the role of these three matches?
The Elimination of Inequality?
I am starting with this match, hoping that it will be in the Kickoff and prior the other two.
Both Natalya and Nikki are well established Superstars, experienced and good competitors. It's nice to see Natalya at last doing something, after her period of hiatus. Since the last year Nattie is one of the busiest women in WWE and she deserves it.
Nikki! Nikki is so controversial. She is like the Pop-star that the little girls love and their parents and older relatives hate. Nikki's character get messed up after the debut of Total Divas - all that glamour and women's intrigues behind the scene, didn't work well with the real wrestling fans. We almost missed Nikki's in ring evolution, lost in her personal struggles. Nikki earned her spot.
This match is a great opportunity for both women, to show what they can do and despite who will win, it's going to be nice... for the Kickoff!
Yeah, we don't like how the storyline was builded the last few weeks. All of this John Cena's talk is like a twisted Amazonian movie where all of the female-warriors are barging with each other over some male meat. It's like a sort of payback for the Attitude era, but with bitter taste! 'If I was not married, John should ended up with me!"... Really? This rivalry becomes mix of a real-life facts and a high-school cheerleders' rivalry! Really poor! Natalya hates Nikki because she is young, beautiful, with own reality and with John Cena! Come on in which grade is supposed to have the fights like this one? Fifth?
For us in AWOW it doesn't matter who will win. This rivalry has the potential to grow up in the next month, but it's fuel may end before it reach its peak point, so maybe it should end tonight!
MICKIE JAMES FIGHTS FOR RECOGNITION?!
If this match was for the title it will be in the main card. Mickie James return in WWE, made us to believe in miracles and to dream to see other women from the past returning.
Mickie returned as a vicious heel is really nice. Her character has a good reason to be mad - not very logical, because many of us remember her and never denied her role for WWE and women's wrestling revolution and evolution. Mickie James is a legend!
But here we are, listening to the old crazy Mickie, who looks like someone who didn't notice how happy are the fans to see her, standing there and arguing with one of the greatest SDL's women competitors ever.
This match was expected, destined to happen!
We knew it, since the moment when Mickie was revealed to be the Luchadora. This match is promising to be good for both of the women. It will be nice for Becky's CV, too... The sad part is that there is no title in the picture, but we have this rivalry that escalate in a far better manner than Nikki & Natalya's story. So it worth it to be seen!
GLOW OR BLISS?
Yay!
At last we have Naomi glowing in the title's picture!
Alexa Bliss deserves her title, but next to Naomi, she looks like a paper champion. Of course the creatives, may decide to extend the agony and not giving her the belt in the first match. Don't be mad! They have too, really athletic, high fly competitors and they may try to use that fact for future rivalry's evolution.
SDL has eight-active female wrestlers, both of them good enough to be a champion, so if Alexa retains the belt that will not being a disaster, but if Naomi wins, that may force some faces to turn heel and some heels to get more hungry than ever. This will open the opportunity for Mickie James to win the title in a very competitive manner.
The match is promising like the previous two. Even sounds like a more competitive than the others. And once again we have two competitors that we enjoy and for us there is no big deal who will win, because both of them are good enough to be a winner.
At the end Elimination Chamber looks like another attempt to remove the gender barriers, with 3 women's matches. It looks like 2017 will be the year of the 3 PPV's matches. That is great and funny! They created a Women's titles visually similar to the men's main titles, pretending that this is equality. They pushed some women's contract signings as main events, with the same pretensions. Now we have a second PPV in a row, that involves three women's matches.
Yes, it's far better and more near to equality, than the previous years. I am so happy to see that change, because I remember the time when the TV programs in Bulgaria, who have the rights for WWE shows, didn't broadcasted women's wrestling, like it was a second rate competition. Actually we still have that problems. That's why I prefer WWE Network and every available I-net resource.
