BRM Reviews the 1/7/2019 Raw (bad, but...)

[Serujuunin]

Well with the new Women’s Tag Team titles on the horizon, how would you asses having Basler and Ronda team up for those, and then Basler on Ronda down the line? Would that work?

I think the angle works best with the idea being that Ronda is the champ and Baszler wants the belt. I'd let Duke/Shafir be the tag team. I wouldn't put Ronda & Baszler in the tournament because they'd have to lose unless you're putting the belts on them, and they really don't need the belts (whereas Sasha/Bayley or Mandy/Sonya or Duke/Shafir would benefit a lot more from being the first champions, or a Nia/Tamina or Bliss/Mickie team would offer easier narrative possibilities).
I think the way I'd do things is have Becky go over Ronda for the Raw belt after winning the Rumble, then swap those two after Mania (with Nattie also switching shows). I'd have Nattie/Ronda as my team in the tournament so Nattie can eat the pin. I'd put the belt Ronda, then turn Nattie on her and give Nattie a group (Sonya Deville. and two others) so that Ronda can bring in the Horsewomen, blow off that feud around October (I figure they're going to do another all-women's PPV, which works well as a nexus where you can have NXT and the main roster intersect) and keep Baszler up on the main roster afterwards. I'd then have Ronda spend the next few months calling out top names to be her PPV challengers opponents (Charlotte, Asuka), and then have Baszler turn on Ronda after the February PPV because she's angry that Ronda has been offering title shots to other people but not to her.

BRM, you’ve done it again. I like that angle. Baszler as the overlooked competitor “I’ll show you”.

BRM definitely standing for (B)ooking the (R)ight (M)atches

I tell myself often that this man needs to be on the payroll.

Thanks. I like this much better than the weird ones Dozer comes up with.

I hold out hope that he could fix it.
