Sasha was screaming "BAYLEEEYYY !" several times (like Kairi did), and Bayley was nowhere to be found (whereas Asuka left her championship match to save Kairi)
DaniLovesArt12 Dim you do realize that this is all scripted right Sasha vs Asuka was just a pivot point for the rivalry between sash and bayley which wwe have been teasing for months now
@@Mrlovebitten people know wrestling is scripted. Dont be a dick. Do you go around reminding people movies are scripted too? Are are you just an ass for wrestling fans?
I’m still absolutely fuming over the fact that a makeshift team gets the chance at tag titles over real teams with actually good reasons to team up like the riot squad iconics or even Robert stone brand or kacy and kayden or even if nia went to smackdown and teamed up with TAMINA again just not a makeshift team taking opportunity from more tag teams
I don’t think so I believe she will be the one to take the title off Bayley maybe not right away but before the end of the year or even later if they decide to wait for a live crowd then she will get a good title run where she defends it at least a few times and or holds it several months
THEY BETTER LET HER HOLD THAT SMACKDOWN TITLE FOR 300+ DAYS OR I'LL BE PISSED Sasha ultimately winning the title and becoming Grand Slam & Triple Crown Champion by defeating Bayley will be historic tho. I just hope they let her hold the title for more than 2-3 weeks and she actually gets to *successfully* defend it. I honestly don't know what WWE is thinking but giving her five pathetic title reigns like that and making her lose them in her first title defense makes me sick. She's legit one of their best wrestlers they have ever signed and deserves so much better!
It was time for Asuka to get her title back. Unfortunate for Sasha, because she has never succesfully retained the Raw Women's championship. Sasha can have her rivalry with Bayley. No idea, why it hasn't happened yet.
I laughed so hard when Sasha lost. Not because I was happy she lost or because it was funny but just how sad it was that she just can't win her PPV single title defenses. She had *5* reigns and her longest were 29 days. Her shortest was only 9 days or so. What are they doing?! She has the most raw reigns but is only 6th place when it comes to combined days. I wonder where Lacey is. Her feud with Naomi wasn't that bad because Dana and Tamina were also part of it. I wanted Dana and Tamina to turn on the two because they got annoyed by their little fights. Imagine a Samoan Drop by Tamina followed by Dana's Swanton Bomb. That would be lit!
The problem is the same problem that's been going on for 40 years now: Vince hates tag teams, and only looks at them as a story to eventually break them up and create 2 singles wrestlers in a feud. They only put the tag belts on Sasha and Bailey to make it part of the storyline to break them up, and they'll probably give it to Nia and Shanya just to use it to break them up. There is no respect for actual tag teams
I mean its cause them breaking up would make sense cause they've been building it up for a ling time now... but the other tag teams, out of nowhere get split up
MrCreative242 yeah to further the storyline with Bayley. She, once again, didn’t even win her first defense and the belt went right back to Asuka who just had her best main roster feud with Sasha. This whole thing started because Bayley is champ and Sasha isn’t but wants to be. Having no title in the mix would be pointless.
4:08 people are such hypocrites! Naomi has done that attack for years way before Asuka & Toni came in the WWE picture but when they use their asses as weapons they stay silent.
I thought Mandy looked so powerful and I loved her hair. She looked strong and determined and the commentators didn’t mention her being “a gift from god” or any of that bullshit. Sure, it could have been a little cuter, but i liked it for the match.
14:56 I like that the hair stayed out the way bc that always came to mind when kicking someone’s ass. You want your hair out the way but after hearing Paloma about how useful the long hair comes into play when communicating to your opponents in the match, I can see why some wrestlers go that route with their hair. Just learned two more things today 😄 thanks Paloma
Mandy's gear was terrible. So was the table set up and overall match. "Liv for the Riott" should've challenged & won the tag titles at Payback. The Lumberjill match was weak.
They made Sasha look like a jobber everytime she holds a damn title😤, WWE loves booking her poorly. Hopefully, it won't happen AGAIN and she gets a decent title defence.💯💯💯
I will say this about Mandy. I haven’t seen the same energy she had when she went against Ember Moon on NXT. If she was green then she definitely didn’t look it
Just a scenario I thought about regarding the LUMBERJACK Match. Like what you said it would be nice if the WHOLE LOCKERROOM against Sasha and Bayley, then there’s this tendency that everyone will attack Bayley and Bayley will run leaving Sasha alone making her lose to Asuka.
0:01 Perfect song in the beginning! I was just thinking about that song & their faux friendship lol 😂 it suits them perfectly. Bayley didn’t do the same 😂
I'm a wrestling fan thou our country wasn't that fanatic in women's wrestling... My Favourite womens wrestlers then and now was Gail kim, Mickie James and Sasha banks and Liv Morgan..... More powers....... Salamat
Glad to see others are upset over Sasha losing a title so quickly again. I’m happy for Asuka, but Sasha deserves better. I’m also starting to kinda dig Liv, Ruby, and Bianca.
I swear I miss the old days with the Divas. To me the 'Feelin' Me' Theme Song mostly fits the 9ld School Divas best. Only cause now the Women are seen as Athletes now and more Serious. Bt fr, leave Maryse's Move alone. Smh
14:05 definitely. That’s probably what’s gonna happen when they vs Nia & Shayna but is it weird that they went from fighting each other immediately to teaming up. 😅
YASSSSS Pikachu!!! Pikachu is a simbol of figth against the opression of the goverment in Chile!!! Always make his presence feel in the protests at the streets.🥰
At Summerslam and on Raw towards the end of the Sasha vs Asuka matches when Asuka had Sasha in the Asuka lock, Sasha was screaming for Bayley and both times Bayley didn't come to save her. It's a call back to Kairi screaming for Asuka and Asuka choosing her friendship over the title. Overall I kinda did enjoy RAW yeah I would've liked a No.1 Contendership Tag match but all matches were enjoyable, I liked the segments. I do wonder if Sasha kneeing The Riott Squad will lead to them attacking Sasha and Bayley on Smackdown and being added to the tag title match or if they will be next in line after Shayna and Nia win the titles.
Honestly DS, this whole Sasha Banks Title runs with soley the Raw Womens Championship is TRULY pissing me off. AJ Lee's Pipebomb Anniversary is today August 26 (7 years had passed) and since then people started giving attention to the divas which ultimately lead to the moment with the brooklyn match with Bayley vs Sasha happened AND THEN people had HUGE HIGH HOPE DREAMS for her since AJ left and people chanted "We want SASHA" throughout late 2015-late 2016. Sasha gave it her all everytime and she did put over Charlotte and Alexa Bliss (Two Blondes) in return for her short title reigns...she did become the first womens tag champ but that was another short reign (truth be told I dont consider her being the one who defended it since Bayley was the one who rolled up Nia at Fastlane) she left, got so depressed and started to lose all the love she had for wrestling which SAVED HER LIFE AS A KID! She returned yet put Becky over sacrificing YET AGAIN her time to shine! Even Nikki Bella who was considered to be overrated during her reign/era agreed that "We haven't seen Sasha Banks at her full potential at the Main Roster!" DAMN I just pray this leads to her FINALLY defeating Bayley to become the Smackdown Womens Championship the brand of her dreams coz its where Eddie shined! Her IDOL! THIS TIME I do not mind with her matching Becky's raw womens championship long reign as Smackdown Womens Champion because SASHA DESERVES to be Champion for 400 days !!! Becky and Charlotte are gone for now so they should make her the top star that she is and frankly there are more smackdown womens champions than raw womens champions, if raw is the top brand then make use of the raw championship to build new champions like Bianca, Mickie James (My gosh another legend being wasted), Liv Morgan, Ruby (yeah she's growing on me) or even Peyton Royce ! I do notice this pattern though If Sasha wins by crucifix pin (Nxt and second womens tag team title reign) she can successfully defend it! BUT if Sasha wins by bank statement or count out she loses it on her first title defense or Bayley has to defend/lose it for her! I enjoyed this episode I truly said it all DS :)))
The point of a lumberjack match is the lumberjacks are supposed to be there to keep the wrestlers in the ring. They were often used in return matches where both wrestlers got counted out, or the heel took a count out to retain their title. There weren't supposed to be "sides", it was random wrestlers around the ring keeping the action in ring. Of course, heels would be heels and use the opportunity to take shots at the face and give the in ring heel and edge. This seems to be lost on the modern day WWE writers
I personally like Mandy’s new look. It’s not my favorite or preference but I still appreciate this like Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat/GI Jane look. I like that she’s trying to change it up. Sasha is going to snap when they lose the tag titles and I can’t wait. If only it could be for Wrestlemania. 😂
Like you said, I felt that Mandy's gear & look played into her showing that she's not all about her looks as Sonya thinks. The match did leave me wanting more, but given the week they've both had, its understandable. They both were strong to go out there and give it their best. Now, imagine if Mandy Rose won the SmackDown Women's Championship later on in the year or early next year, Sonya returns at the Royal Rumble, wins it to a massive reaction. And there you have an even bigger pay off match between the 2 at WrestleMania 37 (maybe roles are reversed in this case). I'd be down for that!
In regards to the Mandy and Sonya match... I’m sorry but I needed more. I loved the storyline building up to it, and when the match was finished I just felt it needed more. I think the problem with Mandy rose is definitely moveset. She didn’t really show she could do anything else besides the knees. I felt the match could’ve been given more time, and the no disqualification aspect of the match could’ve been used more. A table spot, some chair shots, more of a brawl style like Paloma said. The knees took me out of the match, and when it was over it left more to be desired. I needed sonya to make Mandy go through hell in this match, and it didn’t really happen at all. It was sorta disappointing but with everything going on with them and the situation it is understandable. I enjoyed the Lacey Evans vs Sonya Deville match more😬
I think the problem I had with Mandy vs Sonya is I think they were planning for a normal one on one hair vs hair match and because what happened to Sonya happened and they had to write her off so the No DQ stipulation was added, the No DQ spots were kind of wonky including that table spot. Nonetheless, it was a decent match and hats off to both of them for being able to perform on Smackdown and Summer Slam after what happened
There are so many women stories on raw - Riotts/IIconics Zelina/Bianca Mickie/Lana/Natalya whatever happens with Nia/Shayna but they each get like max 5 minutes on Raw while Sasha and Bayley get roughly 30 minutes a week
