He liked Ronda Rousey’s promo on RAW, even though some other people didn’t. He thought the promo felt real, and it didn’t seem like she was reading someone else’s words line-for-line from a script. She was passionate and angry, and he liked that.

Ross was happy to hear that Alexa Bliss is cleared for a return to in-ring action. He notes that Bliss is a big-time player, and she has a great attitude. He just hopes that she can stay healthy moving forward.

Ross thought Smackdown Live was a good show this past week. He really enjoyed the opening segment, and notes that Becky Lynch is over. He’s also happy to see Asuka in the main event picture, especially after some of the struggles she’s had in the last year.

Ross notes that Asuka was so hot leading into WrestleMania this past year, but after one loss to Charlotte on the grandest stage of them all she fell into obscurity and Ross never understood that.

Ross points out that Daniel Bryan has really found his niche with his new gimmick, and he thinks Bryan fits this role perfectly. He’s sure Bryan and A.J. Styles will have a slobberknocker of a match on Sunday and he’s looking forward to it.
