⭐️Kayhan: “Liv and Rhea just have the best chemistry. Their moment was my favorite. Jade getting attacked off screen is a great use of her. I with i could see the behind the scenes of them just setting her up to lay there.😆… I was kind of down on this whole slapped together Women’s WarGames but its getting more interesting. Bailey being involved and old feuds getting in the way of the Babyface alliance is all very interesting.”
