I am reading pre- and post- WrestleMania articles!
I just have read the predictions of one of my favorite web-sites - Diva Dirt, and I have seen that they thought as us giving 5 votes for Bayley as a winner, 1 winning prediction for Charlotte and 1 for Nia Jax and 0 for Sasha Banks!
The last zero winning prediction, provoke me to sit and think about: What went wrong with the Boss? I realize that we, AWOW "pushed" her as the final Bayley's opponent in this match, while the odds were totally against her. We still love and respect Sasha, but we don't want to see her as Champion anytime soon!
I realize this fact and it hits me right in the face!
Sasha vs. Charlotte was one of the most physical, back and forth rivalry and at the same time it was EXHAUSTING! To watch this title exchange between the Queen and the Boss was exhausting, and I think that everyone took a breath, when Bayley entered the title picture, won the belt and later retain it! Nobody wants to see another Charlotte or Sasha's reign, in the next few months.
I think that we all-want to see some new names and even Nia Jax, pushed in that picture. We want Emma, we want Paige... we even are ready to see Summer Rae, stepping in the spotlight!
This is not envy or mean-talk! Charlotte and Sasha are two of the biggest names in WWE, at this point. They have already reserved they spots in WWE Hall of Fame, with Bayley and Becky, as the Four Horsewomen. But it's a little bit tiresome to watch this triangle (sometimes quartet) every Monday. Nia Jax's scripted words now sonds more and more vital: It's always about Bayley-Sasha-Charlotte and vice versa. We really need some fresh air. I hope that after their match last night, tonight on RAW we will be able to see some old-new faces (like Emma).
But what about SmackDown?
We are happy for Naomi, sad for Alexa, but mostly happy for Naomi! Now we hope to see some huge battles over this Blue-brand-title! Bliss, Natalya, Mickie James will be first in line. Maybe Tamina and Eva Marie will add themselves soon in this picture. Of course we are not excluding Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella and even Carmella. SmackDown Live is about competition! They have one of the most athletic, competitive and dynamic Women's Champion ever in the face of Naomi. So I am not worried about them. I just can't imagine who will be the next Champion, because all of the girls in there are potential title holders.
We need some more specific rivalries in SDL. Maybe we need some old-new face added to the brand too. Maybe they could even call someone from NXT, like Aliyah for example!
So the week after WrestleMania is the week, when both shows needs to continue to keep the stamnia they get from the Show of the Show and to add some spicy, new things to their rosters!
