1. Is Anyone Feeling This?

WWE's creative team will find out firsthand just what happens when they try to shove a babyface Charlotte Flair down fan throats yet again. Meanwhile, in AEW, Tony Khan might get similar medicine for trying to force the issue with a heel Saraya and Toni Storm.

Rampage suggests it'll be a real struggle.

The live crowd never seemed sure how they were supposed to respond to the duo. Most clearly want to cheer them (even Saraya telling fans to shut up got a few cheers), but know they're now heels so they shouldn't. So, instead of reacting either way, most in the stands went quiet during the match.

It says everything that Saraya and Storm vs. The Renegade Twins was approx five minutes long but still felt rather boring. Nobody in the audience seemed able to grasp quite why they're now expected to hate the pair, but here we are.

Buckle in, because this could be a bumpy ride.
