Monday Night Raw: 6/24

So what did Rhea Ripley do to deserve a title match at Mania? Did she beat anyone? Did she pin the champion? Did she go on a winning streak to build momentum to that moment?

No? She just asked Asuka for a match? Really?

I mean if that's not a shining example of how they've screwed Asuka over. Rhea's shovel is about to be BIG. Fans already calling her Charlotte 2.0 on twitter.

while i will admit the buildup to this years WM has been lazy af, it’s not uncommon for royal rumble runner ups to get title matches at WM

That would be cool if Rhea came out immediately after the rumble to challenge or if they already weren't trying to do Lacey vs Charlotte for the title at Mania before. Orton need to come out and ask Lashley for a shot next week.

This is lazy them just trying to squeeze this in 3 weeks before mania. It also made that Peyton match before mean nothing. It's like how they made some people have to earn their way into the rumble and others just got in automatically.
 
Rhea literally just walked out, asked the champion for a match, and got a title shot at Wrestlemania with 3 weeks to go. Really?

lol let’s not act like it’s the first time this has ever happened in wrestling history

but i acknowledged it was lazy. this company clearly didn’t have any plans months, hell, weeks ahead of their biggest show. that’s why this card seems so thrown together
 
All I know is if Christian Cage is next in line for a AEW world title match......

Shenco Meltzer says that what you call 5 Star booking!

I mean ol girl got pregnant and Charlotte got covid so they had to scramble and come up with somethin 🤷🏾‍♂️
They fault for not having a backup plan. How about build up the division and create credible challengers? WWE don't care about their women's division and it shows with Asuka's reign
 
What is Smackdown doing besides fumbling the bag with Bianca and Sasha? Adding reginald into the program for no reason, making the program about Reginald instead of the title for a few weeks for some reason, adding them going for the tag titles, punking Bianca out at fastlane, No Bayley at Mania, giving Tamina and Nattie TV time.
 
In 2021 I just saw in the buildup to a WrestleMania main event, Bianca Belair (the number 1 contender for the title at Mania) being laid out by Natalya and Tamina
get


But it's just RAW creative? Riight

How does that equal out to them not caring about the womens division on Smackdown?

Sasha is featured weekly on tv, shes been defending the strap and shes been booked way better than Asuka has over on RAW

You not liking the build to the WrestleMania match is a you problem. Its not them not caring about the division.

We all can agree the RAW division is trash but stop acting like it applies to the other brands

SD, NXT, shit even NXT UK is good. Its only RAW
 
Charlotte was the backup plan. Rhea is the backup to the backup.
Nope. The original plan was Lacey and Charlotte for the title at mania. Lacey announced her pregnancy a month ago. So they've basically had a whole month to build up a credible challenger for Asuka. Instead they hot shotted a debuting star to a title shot at WRESTLEMANIA with 3 weeks to go.

Lack of build. Lack of credible feuds. Lack of creative storylines. Having the royal Rumble winner look like a punk at Fastlane. Having the Royal rumble winner more focused on some Sommelier instead of the title. Your longest reigning champion in history and one of the most over talents in the division with nothing to do for the biggest PPV of the year, giving Tamina and Nattie TV time. All shows lack of care for the women's division.

If you think this is a good build for this match, then you don't know wrestling. The Royal Rumble winner been arguing about Reginald and tag titles more than the Smackdown Women's championship...which she won the rumble to get a shot at in the first place.
 
And te NXT women's division is the best, but they do odd stuff too. Why is Raquel Gonzalez getting a title shot? Oh, because she's big? Got it.

Why did we debut new tag titles only to have them be lost an hour later on the same show? Didn't make the dusty classic winners or the tournament look that good did it.

NXT didn't need those women tag titles, they were only introduced to give them a reason for the women's dusty Rhodes tournament to win which is another thing that needs to go away or only done once every 3 years.
