    There was a spot outside the ring in that Logan Paul-Ricochet match that was almost really bad. Ricochet almost hit the back of his head on the edge of the barricade.
    It's right at the end of this clip.

    Noticed that, too. Logan must've been in a rush to end the match so he could get to Jake's fight.

    Would've liked it if they had Samantha Irvin's announcement of Logan as the winner be more solemn or subdued to show her distaste for what happened.

    I thought that, too. Since she was dragged into the feud, it would've been a nice touch for her to just say, "And your winner, Logan Paul," very flat and plain, without any special emphasis. She kind of blew that one.

    I'm sure the two of them enjoyed it, but that MMA match did not go over well. Would've been better if it more resembled the fight pit match.

    That match summed up how bad Rousey is in the ring. She is horrible at storytelling. The blame doesn’t fall all on her — probably mostly on whatever road agent helped them plan it — but it’s emblematic of why she never got over.

    Yeah, Logan, just kinda joked about having her say it again. He should have climbed out. Of the the ring, confronted her, then laugh at her and walk away.

    Yeah, I was confused about that too. Somebody botched something.

    She was pretty good at the beginning. The Mania match with Angle, Trips and Steph was surprisingly good for a match featuring a rookie and three part-timers.

    But when they started building for the triple threat with Charlotte and Becky, that's when I think Ronda got too big in her head.

    Shayna is definitely the greatest output of the MMA Horsewomen. She was a killer in NXT and will hopefully now get her chance as a singles threat on the main roster. Her and Rhea in an NXT callback would be a blast.

    Seems its been 250+ days since a mens singles title has changed hands in the main roster. Seems like a really long time idk

    Huge difference in the current women’s era and the Divas era — Charlotte is 37, Bianca Belair is 34 and Asuka is 41. Would be tough to imagine three women still wrestling at the top of the card in the WWE at that age not too long ago.

    So the women's champ doesn't enter last per tradition, doesn't enter first for importance, gets jumbled in the middle.

    And Bianca comes out shilling some energy drink.

    Alright then.

    Trish and Lita were each 31 when they retired ... at least, the first time.
