If three or four women on the roster had been allocated the time that's been put into this f*cking angle since Miro debuted earlier this year, then the division might have already steered out of its slump.

In terms of progression, this at least delivered what was effectively promised on Miro's debut, but while the reveal of their attack on The Best Friends was cute, the prospect of the story continuing is much less so.

Though it was another week screaming at the screen to get to the point (do they want us to do this on Twitch, where it can be monetised?), at least they actually did. Beach Break is as good a destination as any for the wedding payoff, but it'll be yet more gritting teeth through the longest month of 2021 before February finally arrives.
