9 Live Observations From WWE WrestleMania 38 Night 2
5. Women's Tag Team Fatal Fourway
At WrestleMania 35, Sasha Banks found herself on the wrong end of a booking decision that finally forced her away from a job she adored. It had been a long time coming in truth, but a loss that night - or at very least what that loss represented - was enough.
Alongside Bayley, she’d wanted to make the brand new Women’s Tag Team Titles mean something. In defeat, they both knew this was highly unlikely. They knew future contests could be reduced to heatless slogs devoid of investment from either side of the barricade.
Smash cut to.
Look, Banks in particular threw herself into this with such gusto that one has to respect the cause. She desperately wants to get this partnership with Naomi over. Naomi herself was ace. As too were all of the wrestlers in patches, but half of the “77,000” in the building will never live to speak about it thanks to the p*ss or popcorn break they were invited to take by the laziness along the way.
The tower of doom was good, the result was great and the effort was frankly remarkable considering the lack of it from their paymaster. This was precisely a television match and absolutely f*ck all more though. For titles to matter on the 'Grandest Stage', at least something needs to feel a little...grand?
