Steph DeLander and Mance Warner TNA departure
Steph DeLander made an appearance on TMZ Sports and basically said that she would not get cleared by the TNA doctors to return to in-ring competition. So she said, 'I'm out,' and Mance, as a good husband, said, 'I'm out too.'
She also mentioned that TNA wouldn't pay for any of the surgeries that she had, so she had to pay out of pocket for the surgeries that she had.
WWE audience engagement
I don't think enough is made of how much they have trained their audience to not give a fuck about these matches. They have trained an entire generation of fans just to not give a fuck the second the bell rings.
Rhea Ripley vs. Jade Cargill feud
This Rhea and Jade twitter story? It's a fucking work. And if you don't think it's a work, I don't know what to tell you.
Elimination Chamber finish
The men's Elimination Chamber stunk, and really the finish was preposterous and awful and lazy. The masked man was revealed as Seth Rollins, and who did that shock exactly?
Road Dogg WWE departure
Road Dogg's tenure booking SmackDown last year was all-time bad. Even the most hardcore WWE fans hated that show when he was running it.
WWE creative philosophy
The general tone of WWE programming is never going to drastically change no matter who is in these roles. They're on cruise control most of the time, and it's the same six stories repeated over and over.
Elimination Chamber results
Rhea Ripley wins the women's Elimination Chamber. Jade Cargill was up in a skybox; they don't trust her to do anything so they had her hold her title up.
WWE creative changes
Alexandra Williams has been promoted to a vice president role in addition to being the lead writer of Raw. She oversees all creative development for Monday Night Raw.
Jade Cargill in-ring ability
It's Jade Cargill and she fucking stinks. I don't want to watch her wrestle under any circumstances. That's the problem—the bell has to ring at one point.
