There's a shot of Ruby decking Brie after that too going round.

Brie is bloody dangerous. Whatever blame could be placed on Sarah Logan for one mistimed suicide dive last week, that's now all three members of the Squad Brie has had bad botches with, and that Liv got knocked silly from one is a disgrace. Couple it with the stiff knee to Vega on Smackdown too, and it's painting an image of someone who, if she wasn't married to who she is, would have been pulled from matches already.

Well done to Ruby. Hope nothing comes of it that will hinder her. Disturbing to think Brie is getting this much time on both shows to cause mayhem.

So I see botch mode was in full form last. I hope liv Morgan is okay as I'm actually like her. She's green in a way but at least she takes bumps. She looked out of it and then Brie dragged her to the corner. I mean why ? So that's two suicide dive attempts. The zelina vega issue and then the Miz. So man or women isn't safe it seems.

What Brie did last night was dangerous. I saw Brie stiffed ruby riot in the face as well. Brave move there. I mean say what you want about ruby riot who seems like a lovely person outside of the ring but I wouldn't push her kindness. Her, liv and Sarah are very close outside of the ring so I'd say there will be big heat there.

Edit: to quote the late dusty Rhodes and it's a good lesson for all wrestlers. "Kid, don't do **** you don't know how to do."

I wonder is there a place for the girls to complain about it and if there isn't will there be a build up of passive aggression towards the Bella's in general backstage.

Or simple do the other girls see getting on Total Bella's as a way of making more money and will put up the the sh1t in the ring for that money.

I'd hope there is. That was dangerous and some stupid TV show shouldn't allow Brie Bella to do dangerous moves in the ring. I mean liv was wobbly after the first shot to the head and then got another one. That tweet by Brie was a non apology.

I'd say sarah Logan and ruby who if you watch their Instagram feed are very close and in a way protective of liv so I'd say Brie Bella is off their Christmas card list.

J. Marston · 25-09-2018 05:18PM

I think fans online want there to be drama (me too, I love a bit of scandal!) but I'm sure there was probably lots of apologies backstage and checking if she was okay and it's all forgotten about now.

CastorTroy · 25-09-2018 05:51PM

I just went through the match again quickly and could see Sarah helping Liv outside, but Liv still came in for the triple suplex, but when they rolled out Ruby and Sarah were holding Liv.

On another note, it was good to see at least one person trying to keep a storyline going when that thing with Conor's Cure was taking place. When they were all coming out, Ambrose stood in a spot, turned and saw Braun, then moved. I like to think he realised that he shouldn't be standing beside him when feuding with him.

Itssoeasy · 25-09-2018 05:52PM

I saw that mike Johnson of PWI reported that liv Morgan was supposed to be okay last night. That's good to hear but many wrestlers felt okay the night of but the next day(today) is important. I really hope liv is okay obviously. I don't want to see any wrestler male or female injured or hurt.

I like that move from dean.

Bounty Hunter · 25-09-2018 06:25PM

Brie is now the female Sin Cara (Original Sin Cara), people now expect botches and she will be under a microscope from now on as a result. I mean if say next week The Bellas take on 2/3 of The Riott squad in a unmemorable match where nothing really happens the comments you'd probably get would be about something that didn't happen i.e at least she didn't botch this week.

Also WTF Chad Gable lost to Conor from the Ascension !?

classic WWE.

the only way they know how to build a feud is 50/50 booking.

CastorTroy · 26-09-2018 09:19AM

So after Alexa missing the Mixed Match Challenge last week due to injury, they announced this week that Sasha is injured. No word online of what it is.

She got taken backstage before the match ended they’re evaluating her for a concussion.

Now confirmed she has a concussion.

Its the outfit. If he was in a suit and tie, he'd fit better.

He looks like a competition winner playing dress up....

The botch was edited out of the match on Hulu.

CastorTroy · 27-09-2018 05:03PM

Which botch?

This Isn’t even funny cause that’s exactly what he’s thinking!

Or somehow Finn will cop the blame for it.

HandsomeBob · 28-09-2018 05:23AM

They've made themselves disposable viewing so Vince can only point the finger at himself. I'm at a point where I'll barely watch any of the highlights of either show because I know nothing of any consequence would have happened.

28-09-2018 09:02AM

Yeah and then it is starting to dwindle down to not even reading results. I still watch the ppvs but I can even feel my drive for that disappearing

CastorTroy · 28-09-2018 10:14AM

Sure look at what the main event of Super Showdown seems to be. Taker vs HHH. All other matches are pretty much "also-rans". Though it's to be expected since all matches taking place there have already happened in one way or another recently. Take the women's tag match. Raw had Bellas and Nattie vs Riott Squad while Super Showdown is just swapping one of those people out. Though now that's likely to have changed.

Then not even sure how important these events are. We have Super Showdown and Crown Jewel. As someone who watched the Greatest Royal Rumble, I have to wonder will these also be just glorified house shows?

And why is John Cena at Super Showdown? At least we have HHH and Taker building their match, but here we have Cena in a match that he hasn't even contributed to so far

With time RAW is declining. The wrestlers are not good enough, NO thrill in the matches. I have stopped watching RAW.

ricero · 29-09-2018 11:49AM

I tend to agree. I have gotten to the stage of only watching every second ppv and watching the odd clip on youtube.

Too many bland and small guys in the buisness these days. Besides guys like the Shield, KO and Strauman Raw wouldnt be worth watching at all.

Too many jabronis like Ziggler, Balor and Corbin that I just dont care about or can get behind.

it's not the wrestlers.

WWE has conditioned the audience to know that nothing matters. so why would there be heat?

J. Marston · 01-10-2018 01:44PM

It is currently a massive hodge podge of bullshít with them advertising Super Showdown, Evolution and Crown Jewel all at the same time.

happyoutscan · 01-10-2018 02:33PM

The mere sight of Steph McMahon has me wanting to turf the tv against the wall. She adds absolutely nothing.

Promoting three PPVs in such a short space of time is going to lead to fans getting burnt out. I was the same for me when they first did the brand split again and had two PPVs a month(one for each brand) I mean less is more on PPV front.

Necro · 01-10-2018 03:41PM

Yeah I'm sad to say it too but I think I'm essentially done with WWE. Have Raw and Smackdown recorded on the planner each week but fcuk off if I'm arsed wasting a couple of hours of my life watching the same sh1te.

Cancelled the network there last week finally as I'm not paying for the absolute tripe on display any more. Will probably cancel Sky Sports when my current deal is up on it too.

They are so out of touch with what the fans actually want, but because they make so much money regardless it will never change.

Voting with our feet even won't work as they have the new TV deals so I'm basically out regardless as it ain't changing no matter how much we bitch and moan.
