      Asuka's appearance was more over than most of the women in the match. Asuka and Rhea are probably WWE's finest women competitors, up there with Bianca, Natalya and Bayley. Charlotte and Becky too.

      The problem with Asuka is she is too stiff for everyone except Becky, Rhea, Charlotte and Bianca ...... A big part of the reason Sasha quit was they were supposed to tag against Asuka and Becky and Sasha is afraid of getting hurt by Asuka because she is so stiff .... But she's not dangerous ..... Becky bless her heart stepped up after Sasha quit and wrestled Asuka instead when the original plan was for them to be tag team partners .... She did it because they didn't have anything for Asuka and Becky thought she is just too good to be put on a shelf because of Sasha's selfishness ......

      2. Some of these performers can be pushed to the mood and would still fail to look legit, not even mentioning break out as stars. Liv Morgan is one example. She's pretty, can talk a bit, fans like her, but she's too bad in the ring to ever look legit, no matter how they book her. I mean they gave her a title win and a defense over Ronda Rousey and she still failed to make something of it.

I thought they were gonna do Charlotte vs. Asuka for the Women's Championship at WrestleMania for a rematch for Charlotte breaking Asuka's undefeated streak.

    The whole thing with Rhea, Asuka and Liv at the end and the mist spot felt like a callback to survivor series when she got hit in the eyes and this time was ready for it. Rhea sold that great at survivor series too and after she ducked this time and then dumped Asuka you could see her giving the "Not this time" smile to her. Great work with her and Asuka as always.

Asuka/Kana was another major highlight, I'm sure Jim hatred her, but she got the biggest pop of any woman and is super over. Now that she reverting back to Kana in some way we are going to get an even more intense version of her. Really the only real negative of the Women's Rumble was the return of Nia Snax which no one asked for.

      Yes! I was expecting more from NXT to be honest but Zoey and Rok-C did great.

    I love listening to Jim, but it's pretty small minded of him to try and not mention the insane pop that Asuka got when she came out. I'm not saying he has to like her as everyone is entitled to their opinion, but he had just mentioned how everyone woke up when Becky Lynch came out. To not even mention the even louder reaction to Asuka, just because he doesn't like her, was petty in the extreme.

    More food talk! I want to hear what Jim and Brian eat while they suffer through bad wrestling.

    The fact that Jim still can't get over his problem with asuka I'll never understand.

    All I wanted was Piper/Doughdrop vs. Nia Jax and they couldn't even tease that.
