    Even though I don't think Bayley and Sasha needs the belts, having them show up on any brand is pretty cool. The more Horsewomen we get, the better.

    The opening segment was fun, as was the tag match.

    Drew was awesome per usual.

    I'd have preferred Garza to win, but the Triple Threat was still fun.

    The ME, didn't work. The match wasn't terrible and there were some stiff spots. But this did nothing for Asuka. Having her get her ass beat for 95% of the really long match, Charlotte inconsistent selling, then the BS finish, this is not how you book a champion like her. Also commentary never shutting up about how awesome Charlotte is.

    To WWE fans who wonder why many are tired of Charlotte's booking, this is why. Also Charlotte completely brushing off losing the NXT title as well.

    So except for that, the rest of it was pretty good.

    Lashley taking out R-Truth and neither him or MVP caring enough to pin him for the 24/7 title really devalues it. I know it's a "Joke" title, but from a strictly storyline perspective it makes you wonder why anyone would even want it to begin with now. Even more so after a month of it being a non-factor with a guy that never even bothered to show up.

    Plus it would have been fun to have MVP pin him and then just have Lashley take out anyone that tries to sneak attack him for a few weeks. Missed opportunity.

    You can sort of defend it by simply stating there's no referre around if you try real hard ... but yeah, I do think they are destroying even the illusion that the title might actually have some value.

    The title isn't meant to have value. How can it given how it works?

    If the title has no value, why would anyone want it? Can't defend the title 24/7 if you don't have anyone that wants to fight you for it.

    I like that idea. The 24/7 title could be fun, if taken seriously. It could be an open invitation for the weather to have fight with anyone at anytime.

    If R Truth wanted to Velveeten Dreams but , he could just go NXT and have that fight. The wearer could have a match at any ppv. You could do those cinematic fights that the rasslin world loves so much now. A championship match at the Sizzlers

    There should still the illusion that it has value... otherwise there's no reason for half the lockeroom to run around trying to win the thing.

    Why would you pin him if there's no ref around?

    It's backstage at a WWE event. He could probably just turn around and see one.

    The point is he didn't even try. The belt was a non-factor to both of them.

    Anytime someone's gone after the belt, they've dragged a ref with them. MVP didn't even know Truth was there till he saw him. You can't assume a ref is there unless it's explicitly shown.

    I'm not used to siding with Michaels on anything, but that producer deserves a firing.
