My hot take is that people exaggerate on Lesnar killing Kofimania and don't want to accept that the hype of the movement had pretty much died down by that point

I kinda feel like the same thing is already starting to happen with Bayley. There is like zero hype for her match with Naomi tonight. Probably because it's the most 2020 match possible. On top of Naomi being incredibly disappointing since her return. And Bayley's face turn being "gosh I couldn't do this without the fans!!!" levels of shallow so far.

Damage CTRL is gonna show up tonight probably either to cause the match to be tossed out, or post match. And then probably get ran off by Jade and Bianca, unfortunately.

He was having a great run with great programs. The problem wasn't losing to Lesnar, It was getting squashed in 10 seconds just so WWE could try to cash in in a 10 year old UFC feud that no one cared at that time.

speaking of squashes, when the time comes, I wouldn't mind seeing Cody get destroyed by Gunther like he got destroyed by Brodie Lee (RIP) in AEW.

The issue isn't that Kofi lost. He was due to lose at that point. The issue is that he got completely squashed.
Agreed, Big E was supposed to lose that match before Lesnar was even put in, I can scoff at the whole "get it off him before Mania" aspect, but at least it was a proper loss. The second Kofi vs Lesnar was announced you knew he was losing, but it was how it happened that people found insulting. Hell, you can tell a story with a squash, but he didn't even get that much.

AJ Styles new theme is just nothing

Not even bad, I would have the same impact if it was to silence.

The thing about that AJ Styles theme is one of the Twitter def rebel parodies would be better, it's such a lazy theme.

Cody vs Styles at Backlash should be good indeed.

AJ vs LA Knight is opening? I assumed it was the main event.
Bayley vs Naomi is the main event tonight, Corey said at the top of the show.

Kinda shocked the LA/AJ match was the kickoff. Those new belts are sick and shit over the red ones.

Are they working up to the reveal of the new main belt at Backlash when Cody has a match for it?
