They told a good story, and I get why they booked it the way they did, but I feel both women are so very talented that I just wanted to see a great wrestling match with out all of the bullshit I have had to sit through for the last year. Hopefully Grace ‘s run can start delivering those great matches. As an overall package, I found it to be solid.
