"F*ck, we're irrelevant. How do we reach the kids?"

"They watch Netflix probably."

"Understood."

*Writes script*

"Did you seriously think I was gonna get in the ring with you tonight? After you mauled me like a wild animal two weeks ago? This isn't 'Tiger King', honey. It's 'The Queen's Gambit', and I'm the hot chick playing the game of chess with your life."

Carmella continued:

"You might be a tiger, Sasha, but I strike first and I strike hard like a cobra. You might beat me. Stranger Things have happened. But I'm the Mindhunter, and I know your weaknesses. 10 part murder mystery series. Ozark."

Same old story, innit.

Fantastic wrestler and marketable star is plagued by positively dire scripted material. Happily, the in-ring action has proven great so far. Their match at TLC was a frantic, dramatic and well-worked struggle. And for a subplot diversion, Sasha Banks Vs. Reginald the Sommelier was a creative exhibition in how to do and not do inter-gender wrestling. The man couldn't inflict pain on the woman, of course.

Randy Orton RKO'd Alexa Bliss three days later.
