Why not just do the Mandy-Jimmy-Naomi segments as “earlier this week”.

That explains how none of it was seen on TV and to Wai’s point you just have to suspend disbelief about cameras. Or shoot it on iPhones or whatever and figure it out in post production.

Also - how is it a few weeks of bad ratings and the Women’s Evolution is now the return of the Divas. Terrible in ring from Iiconics, Bliss teases as topless, and lingerie for the bikini model and a hotel room angle.

How funny to see that attitude era segment with the woman got a better rating then a actual women’s match.

Fans where clamoring for the return of the attitude era and now that they give it to them, some fans are complaining.
