10 Iconic Wrestling Images That Show History Repeating
5. The Two Woman Power Trip
Sasha Banks’ Raw Women’s Title win infuriated many due to the disappointing booking of her win over Asuka. Not least because it was two weeks removed from another banger between them being lost to WWE bullsh*t.
The clash at The Horror Show At Extreme Rules was the match of the night before the magic was ruined by a horrendously cheap conclusion. The follow-up was much the same, but the ‘Golden Role Models’ becoming BayleyDosStraps and 2BeltzBanks has evoked a fairly well-liked storyline from just past the peak of the company's creative and commercial zenith.
Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H's Two Man Power Trip act was novelty good rather than good good, but much like Bayley and Banks in their current roles, the omnipresence was earned. The work was good and the characters became domineering enough that their eventual decline informed one of the best matches in Monday Night Raw history even before 'The Game's devastating quad tear lionised it for entirely different reasons.
If the conclusions arrived at for the Smackdown and Raw Women's Champions are even half as good as that, they'll surpass the original by some margin.
