While Saturday Night’s Primary Event doesn’t must be completely booked with championship matches, WWE has been severely neglecting its top women’s titles since they modified hands at WrestleMania 42. The six-woman tag team match pitting WWE Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley alongside Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss against former champion Jade Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab could also be attempting to establish something for Ripley’s gold with each Cargill and Flair involved, but because it currently stands, the match isn’t exciting and for awhile, it appeared like WWE was stepping into one other direction for a six-woman tag match.
When this match was booked last week, Ripley wasn’t even on the show to talk for herself. Bliss and Flair were taken out after a match against Michin and B-Fab, and Bliss seemingly just waltzed into General Manager Nick Aldis’ office and asked for the match, without asking Ripley, who hasn’t exactly loved working with Flair prior to now. It’s getting tiresome watching Ripley and Flair not get along but being forced to work together, and now, Ripley has reason to be furious with Bliss, too.
Ripley, Flair, and Bliss were also feuding with the recently-debuted Fatal Influence. Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid are getting crazy heel reactions from crowds, and being newbies on the blue brand, it might have been nice to see them in one other kind of exhibition match, for lack of a greater term, on Saturday Night’s Primary Event. The event never feels big or special, especially in months where it’s held between much larger WWE specials, this month being Backlash and Clash in Italy, so a fun, but more meaningless match against Fatal Influence for Ripley, Bliss, and Flair would fit the bill a bit higher. That is partially because any storyline going forward with Ripley’s title should probably be done on weekly television moderately than what’s more likely to be a SNME special with low viewership.
The match makes some sort of sense, not less than, with Ripley and Cargill having such recent history, and Cargill even called out the champion for a rematch in Italy ahead of the team’s confrontation with Bliss and Flair last week, but it surely just all falls flat. While it’s highly possible we see something come out of this match where Flair and Cargill could compete to grow to be primary contender for the WWE Women’s Championship to face Ripley at Clash in Italy or another event in the long run, that thoroughly could possibly be wishful considering, and something that probably ought to be arrange on television.
