    I think there's a decent shot Nikki wins, which leads to tension with her and Alexa. (As well as Sasha and Bayley--there's numerous ways their matches could go that lead to a break-up)

    as if they keep track LOL. i think charlotte was a heel the last time she wrestled, where in true heel fashion she was attacked by a heel before the match then bravely fought on through her injury to highly competitive match with the champion.

    i think it has something to do with ad revenue. there's some reason that younger male demo is so important to wrestling promotions.

    I honestly never saw the chemistry between Alexa and Nikki. It hampered both of them. Nikki really couldn't be as crazy and bloodthirsty. Bliss couldn't be the cocky mean girl that she excels at.

    kind of a combo of poor planning and bad xecution. even if they had went with what looked like the original plan(alexa uses nikki and then betrays her) i don't think it would've turned out well for nikki. alexa doesn't seem very good at making others look good.

    In other news, Mickie James said in an interview she's finally been clear and was scheduled to make her in-ring return right before the pandemic--but then the pandemic hit and she decided she would wait until after it.
    Its not entirely surprising for Kairi because she really throws herself around.

    Even her elbow drop from the top looks like it'll hurt her badly.

    It's not just wrestling promotions. The 18-49 demographic is what almost all networks reach out for. Historically they have the most disposable income, so advertisers promote the most to them. The higher the ratings in that demographic, the more advertisers will pay for spots on that program and the more money the show makes.

    I think in Jericho's case it's more of him doing his heel thing and trying to rile up people that believe there's a "Wednesday Night War" going on.

    More specific than that, it's males 18-35.

    Yeah, Jerichos not exactly wrong, but I think all the social media back and forth is really just to try and hear up the Wednesday Night Wars. Sasha and Bayley did the same thing last week.

    It did a good enough job providing the kabuki warriors and Sasha/Bayley with a credible face team to compete with. But I don't think it was ever meant to last. Alexa was going to stab Niki in the back sooner or later.

    I think Alexa and Nia had good chemistry. I think Nia would have been better paired up with Ruby Riot or as an underlying of Bray. If Sanity was just Nikki and Killian Rain, I would have been happy.
