Yes, and having Cage go through insane amounts of punishment and losing to Tessa keeps both of your top faces strong.
Having Sami try to tear off Tessa's head with a bat, he misses and hits Cage in the head. Tessa hits magnum on cage. Tessa wins.
Her finisher is over.
Cage is protected.
Sami vs Tessa has more heat.
Cage gets next.
I am using Rey as an example because he is currently having a similar match with Brock.
Here the thing with David vs Goliath matches. People forget that David used a foreign object to win
David didn't beat Goliath hand to hand.
David vs Goliath was a miracle. It only works as a story, if Goliath wins 99.999999% of the time.
Tessa vs Cage was a David vs Goliath match that forgot what made that match special.
I would give Shida the championship over Riho.
Baker looks like she is going heellllll!!!
Finally seeing Fenix in a singles match was awesome. FTL= FREE THE LUCHA.
Keith Lee has benefitted the most from this invasion storyline.
Seth would be the biggest heel in NXT history.
Seth got some nice heel heat, which was good. It really helped paint Ciampa as a top player. Not that he wasn't super over already... but to build things their standoff to the point where he came off as a peer to Rollins (the top guy on the RAW brand) was cool.
I would have been curious to see what sort of reaction Roman would have gotten. But the top Smackdown guys only seem to want to work on Friday Nights. THe Smackdown invasions of RAW and NXT seem to consist of only mid carders.
If they're actually going to give Tessa the title, she has to "earn" her shot fairly and do it as cleanly as possible. That's kind of the problem.Having Sami try to tear off Tessa's head with a bat, he misses and hits Cage in the head. Tessa hits magnum on cage. Tessa wins.
Her finisher is over.
Cage is protected.

Cage gets next.
As a matter of personal taste, I only buy inter-gender wrestling when it's the right woman and the right guy paired up.
If they decided to do an intergener match between Bazler and Adam Cole in NXT for example, I could KIND OF buy it. Not that I necessarily want them to go that route, but I'd have an easier time buying over Tessa and Cage. Bazler is big, credible, and frankly has this beastly aura which makes her fighting smaller guys at least feel somewhat believable. Kong in Impact that that too... current Kong in AEW not so much.
After seeing it a lot more on Lucha Underground, it's less jarring/more believable to me. Yes, in LU they used the "temple is mystical" excuse and the female luchas were mostly still portrayed as "not as strong" physicially as the male competitors, but after awhile intergender wrestling just stopped being weird.
ACH found a promotion dumb enough to book him while he still under contract.

I guess he really going to push WWE independent contractor status.
ACH got his release

So RoH COO Joe Koff fired Kelly Klein while she was out with a concession

Firing someone when their injured is a bad look. WTF is happening in RoH?
