⭐️TheMalapertSmark: This actually works really well for Jey Uso to get him some more legitimacy. if he can survive some time w/ the title w/ all these people coming after him from every which way. he’s definitely gonna retain against Logan Paul. i think it would be nice if he can overcome some obstacles to keep it a while after that too, and not just drop it back to Gunther or Seth…

⭐️TheMalapertSmark: Lyra dragging becky out of that match was so hilarious 😆. honestly one of the coolest things i’ve seen from her character. love the premise. it’s a triple threat. no rules. so screw it. don’t let her win. so that was nice… zoey’s injury was really sad. obviously so painful… rhea & kairi pivoted really well… and roxanne being on raw full time is a good move…

Participants:
Details:
-Match: Shaemus vs Grayson Waller w/ Austin Theory…

🌪️REVIEWS🌪️
TheMalapertSmark - 👎👎
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: haven’t liked this angle from the start. from making shaemus out to be some scary bad ass, to Austin Theory not wanting to face him. Austin Theory has had literally no matches in the past few months, and he won’t take a match against Shaemus?! 😕… wish i never saw this. waste of my life.

TheMalapertSmark - 👍
➡️COMMENTS⬅️
⭐️TheMalapertSmark: She definitely fits in the group, looks wise. it is weird that just a few weeks ago, Finn Balor was adamant about not having new members, and then recruits someone behind everyone’s back. but this group has been all about teasing a breakup since the very beginning. i’m not falling for it again. i’m gonna say that this is all gonna work out, and Liv & Raquel are gonna love Roxanne, because how can they not. she’s gonna help them, and they will accept her…
