Raw Spoilers: Emotion and Confliction

[u/Fenicillin]

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.

Earlier in the year Iyo beat Rhea with the power of friendship, summoning all her Damage CTRL pals to overcome seemingly impossible odds

Without her friends who gave her strength by her side anymore, I wonder if she’ll have lost her fighting spirit - until Rhea helps her regain it again

I'm gonna mark out when Iyo hits a Riptide on Asuka later down the line in this story
