This is one of the poster women of the "Women's Revolution," which is supposed to be about feminism and treating the women in WWE with respect. Is she gonna comment on Charlotte's fake boobs next, or nah? What about Nattie's? And if you really wanna talk about real, Becky bitch, let's start with your hair, which you copied from Eva Marie because it wasn't too long ago when you didn't have an identity of your own other than being another wannabe Lita and the least relevant member of the Four Horsewomen with that stupid fucking Irish jig. Fuck you.

I love Naomi's new entrance.
And Eva's new gimmick really is amazing. I hope she comes up with another reason to get out of her tag match this Sunday then appears right at the very end of the match and steals the win for her time.
SD's women's division is killing RAW's right now.

I like the Eva thing and omg @ Naomi's entrance. I also love Alexa and obviously Becky is the best thing out. Nattie is doing her thing so whatever. Carmella is the weak link, she'd have been better off debuting as a heel or with Enzo and Cass.
On Raw, I love Sasha to pieces but she isn't coming off as a face. Calling Dana Brooke Miss Piggy and talking about how you made Charlotte who she is aren't working.
She can do it because we saw how naturally likeable she was in her interactions with Bayley in the tag match and the reaction to winning the title. But ugh all the cattiness is so reductive.

Also I'm not here for them snubbing the entire 2007 to 2014 era in that WWE 24 documentary.
I.e. the girls who busted themselves to leave their mark and get women noticed despite the sexist regime they were under than banned them from throwing punches.

I watched that Women's Evolution special today and it was bull crap. There was a lot of selective memory going on from a lot of the people interviewed, namely Trish Stratus. They acted as if everything from Trish and Lita's retirement up until Paige vs. Emma at NXT was nothing but pillow fights and bikini contests when women like Torrie Wilson and Candice Michelle literally broke their bodies for the business. And I almost turned it off when they devoted an entire segment to Stephanie McMahon for being such a strong, empowering figure on WWE TV, when she was the head of creative for all of those years they've decided to sweep under the rug. Interesting that they left out her, a non-wrestler, defeating Jacqueline, a veteran, for the Women's title... It was really annoying, and it's a shame because I'd love an actual retrospective on the women's division, from the women who put in just as much work as the ones today for none of the credit. You know, the ones who actually built the division. Becky is the best thing out. Boy if you don't...

Ember Moon was pretty awesome. Her finisher was insane. Also I really do like Billie Kay, so I'm hoping to see her get some much deserved airtime.
Bayley vs Asuka was great too, but I really do hope that the other women will get the opportunity to put matches on like the four horses. I mean they probably won't, but you know WWE's gotta find a way to shaft us one way or another.

Also I didn't care for her on Total Divas, but I'm excited for Mandy Rose. Everything from her strut, to her entrance was amazing on NXT this week. Daria is vicious too. It's just nice to see different women get an opportunity to take the stage.

Bayley v Asuka was beautiful. those closing moments. Ember Moon is awesome. Daria and Nikki are my favourite newbies. And Billie is cool but I think I prefer Payton. Not sold on Mandy but she's better than Liv Morgan. *shudders*

Ember Moon has me shook because I'm worried she's gonna come in and snatch Naomi's shine lol. Mandy Rose and Billie Kay are so pretty. Did Billie start out on the independent scene?
I could do without literally all of the rest but yeah, Liv is definitely the worst.

The likes of Alexa Bliss and Dana Brooke I think were hurt a little by not getting the experience of a title reign or at least a big TakeOver title match before getting called up. Hopefully with Bayley/Sasha/Charlotte/Becky on the main roster now (if that was Bayley's farewell like it seems) the newer NXT girls don't miss out. I mean Asuka vs. Bayley was great but one of them has been wrestling for over a decade and the other has done everything in NXT and was ready to be called up ages ago. At least it's not as bad as the men's main event which had like 30 years of wrestling experience between both guys. I just wish NXT went back to being actually for developmental wrestlers.
Ember Moon looks badass. She's like how I imagine Finn Balor's demon thing looking if he wasn't lame as fuck. And that finisher she has is amazing.
I know I've complained about this before but I hate how every big NXT women's match ends with everyone hugging. When Nia Jax challenged for the title is the only time I can think of that didn't end like that. I like post-match handshakes occasionally but they do it way too much and the horsewomen (ugh, that name) break kayfabe all the time. Bayley shouldn't be hugging Charlotte on air.

Was Alexa and Bayley's title match not on an NXT PPV? Not that it matters because Alexa was pulled away from the women's division after that. But I definitely agree with that sentiment about Dana and Alexa. I think there was so much focus on Sasha, Bayley and Charlotte that a lot of their challengers were treated more as an afterthought. Unless the four horses were fighting each other that is. The rest of the girls were put in short feuds with them, or used as stepping stones to get to the other four horses and/or Asuka. I mean I get it, you're in a feud that you're probably going to lose, but I don't think it's fair that Bayley got this incredible feud with Asuka, despite losing twice, whereas Alexa got one promo and then lost. And I know that Bayley was coming off her first title win at that time, but my point is basically you can build up their challengers, just like you continuously built up Bayley when she was feuding with Asuka. This would've been great for Alexa prior to being called up to the main roster.
I feel like I'm just finding something else to complain about when in actuality the division is doing better than it has in ages, but I just want more variety. You've got a huge roster on all your shows, utilize it to it's fullest extent.

I don't even know if he's doing it on purpose but Astro calling them "the four horses" is killing me.

And I really do love Ember's finisher but I saw a comment last night about how that can't be good for her in the long run and all I can think about is how a simple facebuster being used as a finisher forced Torrie Wilson to retire with back problems so I hope she only uses it for big occasions - which her debut obviously was, of course.
