Welcome back to wrestling world!
We have a lot of interesting and hot topics to discuss today regarding Peyton Royce’s
disappearance.
We’ll also discuss how Alexa Bliss found herself in the middle of the Aalyah and Murphy
Drama
So let’s start things off with Peyton Royce
This is a weird one, but honestly we should’ve all seen this coming
So remember a few weeks ago, we had that strange match that came out of no where on Raw where
the losing team had to disband between The Riott Squad and The Iconics
When I saw the stipulation for this match I thought the Riot Squad would be the team
disbanding because that made more sense than disbanding The Iconics with no real build
up to the breakup
But in typical WWE fashion, they went with breaking up The Iconics with no real buildup
to it
I was fine with the concept of breaking up the Iconics.
Obviously they have to go solo at some point in their careers, they can’t stay as a tag
team forever
But I just didn’t like how The Iconics breakup was handled because it felt so flat, anticlimactic,
and there was just no story leading up to the breakup at all
It just happened out of no where for that cheap “shock value” and that was really
it
Peyton Royce and Billie Kay both shared emotional messages on social media about their goodbyes
to each other and we thought that was it
WWE followed up their split with the both of them having a singles match against each
other
Which also felt a little bit off because there was no real buildup or reason to have them
face off against each other as well
Don’t get me wrong, I want to see Peyton Royce vs Billie Kay, but for that specific
match on Raw a few weeks ago, there was just no story or reason behind the match
Yeah Peyton Royce threw Billie Kay into the Raw Underground ring the week prior, but I
just think that wasn’t enough story for their matchup
Either way, they both came out with new music and had their match with Peyton Royce picking
up the win
Peyton Royce picking up the win came as no surprise because all we’ve been hearing
the past few months is that they’re really high on Peyton Royce, so it makes sense why
they would give her the win
But take a look at what Peyton Royce and Billie Kay have been doing since their breakup...
It’s been hard to follow and has been all over the place
WWE made it seem like Peyton and Billie were no longer allowed to be partners and will
be going down their own paths
But then we see Peyton Royce and Billie Kay together Backstage
the other superstars did acknowledge that and asked them were they were together and
weren’t they supposed to breakup
Billie Kay tried to explain it by saying that they couldn’t tag with each other anymore,
but no one said anything about them not being able to be friends and support each other
Which is technically true, it’s not like WWE banned them from having communication
with each other...
But that line by Billie really gave me the feeling that WWE was regretting the decision
to break them up and was looking for little loopholes to keep them together
Billie Kay even served as Peyton Royce’s manager later on that same night which really
goes back to what I was saying before...are they regretting the breakup and finding ways
to link them back up?
It definitely seemed like that
They made it look like Peyton and Billie would never cross paths again, but over the last
few weeks, it seems like they never broke up
Another issue is the constant disappearances for Peyton Royce and Billie Kay
One week they’re on Raw then they’ll disappear for a few weeks and randomly pop up again
There was reports a few weeks ago that Vince McMahon has forgotten about his plans for
Peyton’s push, but the latest reports claim something a little different
They say that they didn’t forget about her, but just dropped whatever they had planned,
which is still unfortunate when you think about it
So there’s a lot to worry about for Peyton Royce and Billie Kay fans.
It’s slowly getting to the point where it feels like they have no direction for them
on Raw
Like we talked about before, I didn’t mind the idea of a split for the Iconics, but the
way the breakup actually unfolded was so weird and unexpected
But hopefully they’re able to fix this up and get them back on track
——————————————
This storyline between Aalyah and Murphy is quickly becoming one of the most heavily discussed
and controversial storylines on WWE programming
There seems to be two main arguments among the fans.
One side says “Well She’s 19 and there’s a 13 year difference” and the other side
says “They’re both adults, it’s just a storyline and it’s not even real”
There’s a lot of people saying a lot different things about this storyline, but I think that
sums up the two sides
One side thinks it’s a bit weird and the other side says it’s just a storyline
Let’s get into what happened this week because there was a lot to cover
We see Murphy texting on his phone.
Seth Rollins comes over and tells Murphy to go change, so Murphy walks away and leaves
his phone
This moment right here bothered me just a little from a logical point of view.
Everyone’s always aware of where their phone is, especially when they’re leaving a room.
So for Murphy to literally just be on his phone texting Aalyah then completely forget
about his phone and leave it behind seemed a little ridiculous
Of course, everyone is human, they’ll forget their phones, but Murphy was in the middle
of this conversation with Aalyah that he didn’t want anyone to know about, he should’ve
been even more aware and alert about where his phone is because of what he was doing
So for him to just walk out the room and not realize “where’s my phone?”
right away does seem a bit ridiculous
But that leads to Seth Rollins taking the phone and reading through the messages
The mysterio family comes out for a segment with jerry lawler
Aalyah is asked about seth and Murphy and she talks about how bad they are, but you
can tell in her face that she wasn’t being honest
Seth comes on screen and reveals the reason why Aalyah wasn’t being honest about Murphy
Seth reveals the conversation between aalyah and Murphy
Let’s take a look at it:
Murphy said: I just wanted to apologize again.
I hope you’re doing okay
Aalyah said: I’m fine, it’s just been a lot
Murphy responded with: I get it, but if you want to talk about it, I’m here
Aalyah said: I might just have to take you up on that offer.
By the way, Happy Birthday
The question I have for this moment here is how in the world did Seth Rollins know Murphy’s
password and all these other details to get to those messages?
Anyway, the mysterio family tries to talk to Aalyah, but she walks away again
We then go to the match between Dominik and Murphy
Aalyah comes running out to tell Dominik to drop the kendo stick and accidentally ends
up costing him the match
Dominik is furious with Aalyah and says that she is naive.
This leads to aalyah slapping him and walking away
I also wanted to talk about Aalyah’s line of “He’s not like Seth” because we talked
about how horrible of a line that would be for her to use several weeks ago
But WWE still ended up using it.
That line makes no sense because Murphy has literally tried to injure Dominik’s eye
and so many other superstars’ eye, so in reality, yes...he is exactly like Seth
The Mysterio Family segments sparked the most interest on WWE’s YouTube highlights and
has the most highest viewership compared to the other Raw segments
Everyone was talking about it including Alexa Bliss.
Alexa found herself in the middle of her own controversy in regards to this mysterio storyline
In a now deleted tweet, Alexa quoted the DM screenshot from WWE and said
“Honestly, I don’t blame him lol.
Shoot your shot bud”
Twitter came after Alexa very viciously after that tweet
Alexa locked her twitter account and responded by saying:
“Try to make one comment supporting my ex and now I’m the bad guy...”
“Do I know her or her age?
No.
Was trying to be supportive of Murphy?
Yes.
Back off and calm down people.
Just happy Murphy is getting the success he’s worked for.
That’s all.
Be bothered by something else”
One fan responded to Alexa and said: “he’s 32 and she’s 19...”
In which Alexa responded by saying: “I just turned 29 and my boyfriend is 38”
It was just chaos over on social media and not a topic you want to touch on at all
We know that WWE loves getting people talking and creating controversy, so they must be
absolutely loving the Mysterio storyline response from the fans
Numbers don’t lie.
The Mysterio Family segments put up better viewership on WWE’s YouTube channel than
the WWE championship match, so it tells you that more fans are interested to see what’s
going on here rather than a WWE title match
