Ross is really impressed by how well Paige has adapted to her new role as Smackdown GM. He notes that this proves that Paige can be successful outside of wrestling with her tremendous verbal skills if it ever came to that. He also likes the dynamic between Charlotte and Becky Lynch, and although Lynch has seemingly been lost creatively as of late, these two women should be able to have a great match.
Daniel Bryan tapped to Samoa Joe on Smackdown, and Ross points out that a babyface never tapped out when he was just starting in the wrestling business. This is a prime example of how the business is changing in his opinion. Nonetheless, he doesn’t think babyfaces tapping should be an issue, and he doesn’t think it is nowadays.
Ross is intrigued by the pairing of Naomi and Lana. He notes that Naomi is a terrific athlete and a great in-ring performer, but the jury is still out on Lana. He doesn’t think Naomi should have to lower her level just to work with Lana, and he doesn’t think that’ll happen. He assumes Naomi will “bring it”, and he’s interested to see how Lana fares.
A listener writes into the show and asks Ross how WWE could improve their Triple Threat matches. Ross thinks there are simply too many of them nowadays, and having less of them will make them better. In addition, maybe introducing some new rules such as eliminations would freshen up the matches.
