This has to be Vince McMahon’s idea, right? Mandy Rose falls on her butt during her WrestleMania entrance, so it gets played up and turned into an angle.

Then to make matters worse, Nia Jax, who was making fun of Rose the whole time, trips getting into the ring, and later slips off the apron during her and Shayna Baszler’s match against Rose & Dana Brooke. You see, it’s funny and karmic at the same time!

But then Rose & Brooke decided to take a powder when a seething Jax got back into the ring, and the faces walked out on the match, saying that it wasn’t worth it. That’s a real thing that happened. The faces took a deliberate countout rather than wrestling the woman they provoked by attacking her backstage.

Does anyone actually pay attention to this stuff?
