Also, B-Fab vs Elektra (hats off) fucking rocked. Lopez went nuts near the end.

Elektra must be pretty good already since the last time we saw B-Fab in a match she looked really "not ready for prime time". 

 

THE GUY

Oh god, they are doubling down on the Joe Gacy gimmick..... someone tell Vince the only people who use triggered unironically are boomers and right wingers.

So is Xia Li injured or is she in the doghouse for kicking Mercedes Martinez so hard she flew out of NXT?

Possibly injured. IIRC she got fucked up badly in her match against Raquel. 

Some classic Dave deadpan humor on last night's show:

Bryan: (recapping Goldberg's promo on Raw) he said "if I'm lucky, I'll kill you!"

Dave: Well they're going to be Saudi Arabia, so that's the place to do it.

 

fucking DIED at that

Didn't Raquel landed on Xia Li's head?

It was more like she got the wind knocked out of her, and the fact she got slammed really hard afterward sure didn't help. 

I miss her. She was the glue to Tian Sha.

She's had a couple of dark matches on the main roster with Aaliyah, Dakota and Catanzaro, so she might be main roster bound

PWI says Alexa is out because she's having surgery on her sinuses

I just saw them now, but both the Sheamus/Priest and Styles/Riddle matches were awesome. How often has Styles won matches with that Burning Hammer followed by Styles Clash combo? I didn't think he would be able to beat Riddle, but Riddle could not stand up to that combo.

So, based on the usual recovery, that's gonna take her out until around Survivor Series. Maybe a tad after that.

Yeah seems like they wanted to move her on from the Bray-inspired gimmick and this gave them an opportunity to basically write that character out. 

I wonder if she'll come back as something else wacky. As much as her coming back as her old self as if the whole thing never happened would be weak sauce, the last thing she needs to to be even more WACKY~!. 

 

Enh. Maybe the Lilly doll was like the urn, and it was the source of her powers. Now with it gone, she will revert to normal.

If the doll was as big a merch seller as she indicates, she’ll be coming back with a Lily now wearing a Santa hat for X-Mas.

By the way, was it ever explained why Lilly wasn't able to use its magical powers to prevent Charlotte from destroying it?

Did 90s Shawn Michaels ever really sell for Undertaker's supernatural shtick?

I wouldn't even mind if she just has a torn doll with her. It's still a merch seller, so it would be good to remind people to keep on buying.

Just remove the shitty supernatural side to it. Put Wyatt's influence to rest.

I mean, the famous HIAC match was basically him running in terror away from Taker, so kinda?

There's a in your house where Shawn try's the house set and the door's locked, Shawn sells it like a scene in a horror film and then the undertaker press slams him on the steel ramp.
