Default The Saga Continues

Ignoring whatever it is those other two are going on about, it's great to see this perfect story continue.

The best thing about this chapter in my eyes is how you made sure to spend time covering the fallout of Sasha's action from the last chapter. You showed the world reacting to the sudden shift in programming with the boost in Network Subscriptions and that NxT had become the most-watched show on the Network. That's what I've always wondered about in stories like these: What everyone's reaction is? How does the outside work suddenly reacts to a PG-13 shift from what was previously a PG show? So great job taking the time to cover that.

I loved how you had the fans no-sell Summer and her cookie-cutter promo. You mentioned Triple H and Regal trying to ignore Sasha's actions like the WWE often tries to do with something popular that they didn't create but the Full Sail crowd kept going like it was a Chicago show and kept chanting until Summer was forced to break away from her script and finally acknowledge them. Great stuff. I also really enjoyed Sasha ripping Summer apart on the mic.

In addition to the WWE Universe's reactions, you made sure to show the reactions of almost all the NxT Divas' Division. You showed that Sasha was proud of herself for her actions and has decided to keep doing what got her noticed last week so she can finally make a name for herself. Becky and Charlotte were both upset about Sasha's actions but for different reasons. Becky doesn't so much care about the stripping as much as she wants to get revenge for her friend while Charlotte wants to maintain the legitimate image of "her" NxT Divas Division. And of course, Bayley's bounced back and is out to repay Sasha in kind. So now because of her actions Sasha has the majority of the NxT Divas Division gunning for her. Once again, great job giving all the girls a chance to reveal their motivations and develop character. This is better way better writing than the WWE puts out.

Also since you asked about it last time, I'll give you my take on the action. This wasn't a match, just a beat down so it didn't need to go on very long. The ending was great, Sasha throwing Summer into a ring post is definitely enough to knock Summer out long enough for Sasha to strip her. However, I don't know if Sasha did enough damaged to Summer in the ring for her to be in so much pain that she couldn't escape when she slipped out of the ring. I've seen both superstars and divas recover from and even turn around beat downs that were way worse. No worries though, we'll just say that Summer couldn't get away because was caught so off guard and unprepared by Sasha's sudden attack.

I'm looking forward to next chapter. Sasha's gonna be caught out in the open when she faces Becky in the next chapter so that's the perfect time for Bayley and any of the other divas that she's angered to go after her for revenge. Better watch out Sasha because "BAYLEY'S GONNA STRIP YOU!"
