Glad they went ahead and made merged the two singles matches into the tag match as it makes way more sense. While Mickie does have history with Lita, she will always be linked with Trish due to their rivalry so it was crazy to me they didn't have those two coming together here.

Kairi/Shayna should deliver yet again and i'm hoping they give the LWS match time as it should be a damn good match and in all honesty I have no idea which way it's going to, i'm hoping for a strong decisive victory for Becky to get this title run going but I can't look past them giving it to Charlotte.

2 weeks away and they still have so many matches to make. I'll be damned if they don't just do a big clusterfuck battle royal either.

Give me Eva Marie vs Mandy Rose vs Torrie Wilson in a 3 way.

 

[Cwalker]

Is anyone excited for this show?

Is anyone excited for this show?

For the potential of it being a train wreck. ...oh yeah.

Is anyone excited for this show?

More than I was for the first Saudi show but a bit less than I am for Crown Jewel.

Prediction: it will be fine, NXT and Mae Young matches should be fire, Charlotte/Becky again is fine with me, I'm interested in how Rousey/Nikki goes even if I don't think it'll be that great and then the rest of the matches will be typical undercard stuff I don't care about, probably a little less so than a regular PPV other than some of the returning girls

But WWE and the media are going to market it as one of the greatest things in wrestling history so we'll get a lot of "hot takes" saying "unpopular opinion but I didnt think evolution was that great" and everyone will circle jerk that like they're edgy and it isn't a common opinion.

Oh and if you really enjoy it you'll get called a feminazi and it you think its trash you'll he called sexist regardless if those things are true

 

[Cwalker]

Facts; this shit show is so unappealing on paper but if you say that “you must hate women and progress”

 

[Crippler]

Steph not booking herself in a match is kinda shocking to me, considering she was the one that built and created the Diva's revolution.

 

[Chris]

I mean I said why parts of it appealed to me but if you don't think so then its whatever, just don't watch. That's the beauty if the network, they can do womens PPVs, UK PPVs, tournaments and whatever else and you only have to watch what interests you.

Yeah everyone's overhyping it like we all knew they would from the start but that shit ain't that hard to tune out for the most part except during the million promo spots and mentions on Raw

 

[Cwalker]

Y’all don’t know this but my interest in wrestling stems from y’all. If I come on here and see a PPV only has 40 posts and theyre all from Deezy, I’m not gonna watch it

 

[Dale]

I don't feel any different about this card than I do all the other PPV cards we get. It's got a handful of matches that look like they should deliver and then when the rest of the card is revealed, it will likely have a bunch that doesn't interest me.

The only thing i'm not looking forward to is all the nauseating buzz words and tag lines we're gonna get throughout the night. "History Making!" "First time ever!" "Womens Revolution" etc

Gonna take a shot ever time they’d say “first ever all women’s PPV”

And even more surprising since her last name is McMahon
