There are no rules.

Nothing matters.

Your intelligence - nay, your ability to simply recall things that have happened - is held in total contempt. Isn't Randy Orton blasting somebody against a table, which he's done more after than not for 21 years, more dangerous than a wee bit of it flying in Charlotte's face?

Stop asking questions.

You will never receive an answer.

There are no rules.

Nothing matters.

You are a rube.

You are a rube with hay in that thick-sh*t skull of yours.

Charlotte Flair cheated in the beginning. She was cheated at the finish. Was this a double-turn? Didn't Charlotte deserve it? Wasn't Rhea Ripley a heel all along?

What's more annoying about this braindead storytelling is that Rhea Ripley is a great wrecking machine of a babyface. Picture that awesome top-rope dropkick, its breathtaking flight and flush connection, if she executed it after Charlotte was being an overbearing heel...on purpose. Picture Ripley blasting Charlotte with that rattling German suplex in a match that wasn't wrestled between two obnoxious heel losers who are just awful to one another.

A dire dynamic made it impossible to root for anybody, the worker who can play babyface is now the...bigger heel of the two heels, and the most joyless and nonsensical of pro wrestling storylines Must Continue.

A confusing and loathsome mess.
