If Bryan feuds with Almas after his feud with The Miz, he's going to need to go over, especially after losing 4 straight PPV matches in a row, so that goes back to the problem with Almas taking too many Ls. Honestly, they should just turn Nakamara face and have Almas feud and win the US title...

[LWO4Life]

Well Rey's signed officially. My plan is starting to take shape. If WWE plays it's cards right, they should have Almas feud with Rey, but not right away. Almas eventually will unmask Rey and get over at the best Latino heel in history! I have hope.

I liked the opening segment and teasing an Ambrose heel turn. For a second as he backed up a little after Braun said 4-on-1 I thought it was happening.

[Powder]

As soon as Corbin said these men, I thought the AOP was coming out to be his partners. I am still calling them as Corbin's partners tonight.

[comfortablynumb]

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t thought of them.

[Pheqes]

I hope Liv Morgan is ok.

She was taking Yes Kicks from Brie and ducked her head on one and got straight up kicked in the face. She was out for the whole match after that. Brie and Nikki canceled what looked like a double suicide dive on the outside on Riott Squad because it looked like Liv was still seeing stars. Her body limped over when she got kicked. It was pretty scary, but she still took a suplex and was in position where she absolutely had to be for big spots.

But other than that, she peaced out on the outside.

[Heisenberg]

So I haven’t seen the whole match. Just the clip of her getting knocked out. Brie is in control of those kicks so she should be taking most of the blame for what happened. But Liv did neither of them any favours by ducking into the kicks. You can clearly hear Brie say that she is out. And that right there is what I have the biggest problem with. She’s been knocked out. Why in the fuck is she even allowed back into the ring. That’s completely and utterly inexcusable. You know, I can’t stand Punk, but things like this shows how pathetic they are of looking after their talent. As a doctor how can you with any conscience let her get back in there.

There's no way any of that is Liv's fault. She's working the rhythm of whiplash and kick in there and Brie speeds up the last two, catching her right on the dome. If Brie had maintained the pace she was kicking at she'd have been fine, but no.

It's really starting to grate on me that the Bellas can just turn up and be considered important again, over people that are there day in day out. Between them, Trish and Lita returning, the mess that will be the Rumble where there'll just be a tonne of guests, and Ronda...I'm not holding out high hopes for Evolution right now. Hopefully Becky can deliver something great for the Smackdown title bout, and Shayna vs Sane should be good (again).

[SirSam]

Not a good look, particularly for the 'verteran' Brie Bella. She pretty clearly stuffed up the rhythm Liv was working on. Did anyone catch Ruby Riot giving Brie back a receipt with a straight hard forearm to the jaw when she was on the apron? She must not have been happy at all.

[Cult Icon]

From the gif I saw Riot gave her a receipt because Brie botched there; she forgot Logan was supposed to slingshot her into Riot for a forearm and instead forearmed Riot herself. I hope Riot doesn't get in trouble for it but considering how the Bella's stature in WWE I wouldn't be surprised if she gets heat.

The most unforgivable thing is that Morgan was allowed to get back in the ring after. I know she apparently insisted on it but come on; she's at best woozy after taking those two kicks to the head (which were Brie's fault as she clearly speeds up the kicks, thus throwing Morgan's time off) and probably concussed. The whole reason you have a physician at ring side is to make sure something like that doesn't happen. It did and yet there is pretty much no heat on WWE for that right now. Brie deserves a lot of ridicule but WWE should be getting at least as much flak as she did and New Japan does every time one of their guys gets injured. There is no good reason Morgan should've been able to continue the match. None.

[Rob S.]

Agreed, there is no good reason at all why Liv was allowed back in that ring. She was out cold. And WTF with Brie dragging her across the ring? While they were dead wrong to not stop the match, Brie has got to own up to this or at least someone needs to acknowledge that she's become even more dangerous than she was before. She almost killed herself botching a dive and has gotten really sloppy in every single match she's been in. She botched a few moves with Maryse in their HIAC match as well. I know they're back because they want them in high profile matches at Evolution, but at what cost?

Honestly, if you look at the kicks to Liv, she was out before she leaned over. The kick right before that was the one that did it, causing her to basically fall on her face. The only thing that kept her up was Brie's knee to her head.

[LK3185]

The only issue I would have with WWE is letting Liv do that suplex spot. Someone has to be aware that she's out on her feet and she could have gotten hurt worse

[Powder]

That is the referee’s job to check on her. He should have put up an X for her to not continue.

[Pheqes]

I didn't even notice Brie botched a forearm to Ruby on Monday. Went back and watched. The receipt didn't look hard to me, but I hope it got the point across.

Since coming back, Brie has:
- Almost killed herself twice
- May have concussed Liv
- Almost broke Ruby's nose

She was gone from SmackDown!, which I'm assuming has to do with last night. She needs to get back to training.

I was really trying not to shit on her, because wrestling is a team effort. It's getting way out of hand, though. She's making terrible 1st year mistakes that may cost careers at this point.

[LK3185]

I don't see the need for Brie to wrestle anymore.. Even if they are doing the Bella angle for Rousey's Match at Evolution, you shouldn't need Brie for that.. and Brie doesn't need to be getting offense on Ronda anyway... After that though... What do you actually do with The Bellas? I'm a fan of both but they had their time.
