AEW Rampage: New Year's Smash
Tay Conti & Anna Jay vs Penelope Ford & The Bunny
Simply put, this was a brutal weapon fest that really put the feud onto the next level. Seeing the blood stained faces of such beautiful women was as impactful as any major Muta Scale bladejob. Top effort!
Winner: Tay Conti & Anna Jay
Rating: 3.5/5
WWE Day 1 2022
Becky Lynch vs Liv Morgan
I was 50/50 about who would win this match going into Day 1, but I was absolutely blown away by how amazing Liv Morgan's offense was. Her Corner Sunset Flip Powerbomb was a sheer work of beauty!
The longer the bout went on, the more confident I became that Morgan would defeat Becky Lynch. To have that stolen at the end was heartbreaking, but I'm so happy that I once again care about the WWE Raw Women's Chanpionship.
Winner: Becky Lynch
Rating: 4/5
MATCH OF THE WEEK:
Becky Lynch
This was the match that Liv Morgan needed to highlight just how far she has come as a performer.
WOMEN OF THE WEEK:
Tay Conti, Anna Jay, Penelope Ford, & The Bunny
These women further enhanced their burgeoning reputation with a brutal weapon fest.
