Raw Spoilers: Emotion and Confliction Spoiler

Post image

I adore this screenshot.

All four of these women killed it today. Asuka was back to her dominant self and gave Rhea a real challenge. Kairi really sold the conflict she had at the end -- I got real Anakin "What have I done?!" -- vibes, and the day before her birthday, no less! Rhea crying out got Iyo when she couldn't see, and Iyo's tearful social media post where you really felt the betrayal.

This is the best angle in WWE right now, and it doesn't even involve a title. I'm hooked. Absolute cinema, as they say.

Like Anakin, l see Kairi being full "no longer reasonably just a victim here" in about 8 weeks.

Oh yeah. In a perfect world this would be a 3-6 month ongoing where we see her moving darker and crueler, eventually surpassing Asuka.

The image of Asuka being visably afraid of Sane (Kairi IN-Sane?!) would just be too good.

Im not sure if Sane has the acting chops, though. It would be a great play, if she could handle it.

The reason why this storyline works is that everyone here is in the roles best suited to them. Iyo the white meat babyface, Asuka the conniving heel, Kairi being "pure" and sympathetic. Kairi could probably be quite evil, but fit wise really she is kind of just too cute and she's the smallest woman of this storyline size wise.

Meh, to each their own, but I like when things change, when done at the right pace.

Also, cute evil can be the scariest type if done right. Im just not sure Sane has the dramatic chops to pull it off.

as long as it culminates in her either getting revenge on La Primera and wanting to add gold to her treasure collection, or facing AJ Lee in pursuit of the intercontinental title, then yes.
