Even the WWE women’s division dominated the points in wrestling nowadays – and all because of this return.
Charlotte Flair, Bayley, sasha Banks and Becky Lynch were all over the online discussions of the two as well as the broadcast of Raw and SmackDown. With a bang, the quartet are very much back after a spell on the sidelines for inventories.
Bayley showed a fresh, steely edge by hitting Lynch and then Flair using a steel chair and providing a voucher on SmackDown which raised eyebrows throughout the board.
It was a voucher that pointed on Bayley’s component but has been also to some cognitive dissonance.
The reaction to this seat shots was supposed to cheer, and’Yes’ chant to split out, before the arena full of boos as Banks and Bayley made their exit up the ramp.
On SmackDown the seat shots were again cheered, and the crowd began to chant for Becky Lynch. Who is the encounter and who’s the heels? Who is in the right and who’s in the incorrect? Arena crowds do not seem to know, and it is developing a situation that is fascinating.
It’s been a terrific week for the division of WWE’s women and it seems like that is just the start of what could be something. A key element of the (admittedly somewhat brief so far) success is that four of those Horsewomen have developed personalities.
Lynch is the self-styled’Man’ who has a messiah complex and considers – perhaps correctly – that she is the one which has elevated the division to new heights. Flair is nepotistic and egotistical however also very aware of the opportunities she has been given by her name at the business as well as her heritage.
Banks is manipulative, but that trait hasn’t shown itself yet, and so far her return on WWE has simply been around re-asserting her standing as the of the division, also dethroning Lynch to do.
And then there is Bayley; proprietor of someone with whom there now exists a enormous amount of interest and by far the persona this week. It’s turned into a tweak, but also; yes, there is not much subtlety in hitting someone with a chair but this new personality is different from the person she’s been for ages.
Bayley wants to be the character model to the lovers, she wants to elevate the women’s division and she wants to give feature matches and the spotlight to rivals who have maybe been overlooked.
But it’s becoming down using an intense disconnection from reality and a sense of devotion to inventories that, while one and an admirable trait befitting a role model, is a thing to look up to as it manifests itself in violence.
She is. She isn’t reliant upon the’heating’ of a hometown insult or straight villainous actions. The implication is that their parents aren’t being stated role models when she talks about being a role model to young lovers. It’s as though she’s talking of a deed, of which your WWE fan doesn’t have any 29, If she speaks of her loyalty.
There are shades of Kurt Angle heels perform in play here, in addition to a acknowledgement of the criticism Bayley faced to her babyface promos which always referenced the fact that she had been a WWE fan for a youngster.
From this stage, there is so much that they could perform with these four. Flair and Banks have name games against, respectively, on September 15 Lynch and Bayley in Clash of Champions. On the card, those two matches have come to be the in the space of one week.
The pay-per-view for October is Hell In A Cell – what price a deadly four-way between each of four together with one of, or perhaps both, singles titles at stake? Or perhaps a two-against-two by which Lynch and Flair are pressured to formed an alliance which would be deeply uneasy considering that the brutality of the feud within the last year.
Survivor Series is then, and will host the champion-against-champion matches. Lynch missed out last year due to her Nia Jax-inflicted injury, together with Flair taking her place contrary to Ronda Rousey. The Bayley-Banks rematch that is continuing, as well as that narrative, is one that could be restored. The possibilities are virtually endless.
They should map out storylines for all these four that lead all of the way to the next year’s WrestleMania, Should WWE want to actually build up to something particular.
If it is written and constructed the tale might be informed of this Four Horsewoman gradually putting their differences and linking to deal with a common enemy – the four-woman collection.
It’s a long shot, and a lot would have to happen between now and then but imagine it: the WWE Four Horsewomen against Rousey’s MMA Four Horsewomen . It wouldn’t get much bigger than that.
However, such matters are a very long way off. The women’s branch is red-hot again and there will be lots of opportunities for intrigue in the forthcoming weeks and months as the Four Horsewoman’s personalities.
The Four Horsewomen return, and their own significance of WWE has this week been hugely reinforced, whether they may be in a condition of war.
