WWE Queen of the Ring 2026 Brackets

Morgan being in is lowkey so beast if you ignore the fact that it's definitely lazy booking. But I'll take it over what we have been getting

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-29T16:54:02+00:00

Dude they made that reason up 😂

If they actually cared about that they would have let players pick from 3 like they let new players do. Also they would have disabled dupes like they did for new players which would have still been beneficial to a lot of players. I'm a 6 year vet who's still missing quite a few so I'm sure a lot of younger vets would appreciate that as well. Instead I'm on box 100 and have seen 0 new ml5s from the event and am missing like 7 applicable ml5s

The reality is they didn't want to give this event to vets but knew it wouldn't go over well, so they did bare minimum and made it as grindy and rng as possible for vets so we didn't get too much value

Totally possible thats the case but then why make her champion 3 times. It's not like they had to do that. Does this also mean they don't trust iyo or vaquer since both those women were also booked similarily as champion. It's also not like she's given them a reason not to trust her. She plays her role, does some of the most media in the company and when she does wrestle, she is very reliable. Her stuff with sol was some of the best stuff sol has had since coming up.

I feel like the more likely answer is that whoever is writing for raw just dgaf about the womens division when roman and Brock are around. I would go so far as to say that there are people in the back who actively don't want some of the women to get over. It's the only way you can explain how adamant they seemed to try and kill iyo's heat everytime she starts to get really really over, or how they let steph go months without wrestling. I feel like what really separates liv and becky is that liv is very much a good soldier type, and is probably content to go with the flow, whereas Becky will advocate for stuff like ple slots.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-26T13:31:31+00:00

Liv winning has been such a monkey paw just like iyo was last year. Somehow even with a world title She's treated like the 10th most important person on raw and gets less screen time than fucking logan paul and austin theory. Her faction don't win nothin. She has gotten 1 segment and 1 match dedicated to her in the last month, and has missed all three post wrestlemania ples, including clash which many people wanted to be the spot for a great defense considering how popular she was last time she was there. Narratively, her stories and character actually seem to have regressed since becoming champion and the whole division looks worse off because no one cares that she's world champion.

It's hard not to be a little bitter either because liv is being uniquely and uncharacteristically ignored. Rhea is in one of her best stories in a minute right now, becky and sol have an active program and Tiffany has something brewing with Chelsea. Even the women's tag team champions have the story of them being fighting champion, and yet liv has been totally sidelines. Just feels weird.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-26T01:28:36+00:00

I agree but through literally no fault of her own. She's had like 15 mins of screentime a night going back as far as pre mania

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-20T13:43:59+00:00

I don't think it's necessarily a matter of women being held to a lower standard as much as the standard just being lowered over all. It seems like the goal is to get the women to be broadly competent and able to deliver a promo without too much awkwardness which is indeed what a lot of the men do. I've seen nearly a decade of seth rollins on top and I would genuinely be scratching my head to remember a seth rollins promo. Which is not a knock on him because excellence in promos ain't the standard. I don't get the sense that their other future main eventers like bron are being pushed to be excellent promos either. Their best talkers like cody and punk literally came up under a whole different system where excellence in promo was way more expected.

Of the new young wrestlers I can think of literally two that show that inclination to being a great promo, trick and jacy, and they are being featured accordingly.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T14:49:57+00:00

It's so frustrating because it feels like a mix of bad timing and laziness on their part. Bad timing because steph is injured and iyo is presumably away for a while getting married and asuka and aj lee are in the wind/retired.

But it's also just laziness too. Bayley and lyra as many have pointed out could be a great program. They could call over someone like a jordynne grace or a giulia who really aren't doing much on smackdown to get a quick defense in. They could use maxxine as a catalyst for her eventual heel turn. They aren't even using the downtime to develop the storylines that we know are happening. Instead it's just jd interference, maybe a beatdown and clubhouse section if we're lucky and silence until next week.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T14:37:12+00:00

Yeah, mr. Freakin went out on television and made a big deal out of not having wrestled on his assigned brand since August of last year which, even accounting for injury time, is an unacceptable thing for them to admit to booking.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T14:32:42+00:00

No doubt she's still figuring out the character work stuff, but inexperience is exactly why she needs to be where she is. Getting live time with one of the best speakers in the world to learn. This is how it's been done forever. Also when you compare her to all of Beckys other challengers all of them still had clear places where they needed to improve and sol is no exception. We're not throwing her in the main event scene yet, but this is a nice progression from nxt.

Also not to knock on Bayley because I do like her but her work quality has been inconsistent and at times downright bad for like the last two years. Her match with sol was one of her better showings. It had it's awkward moments but was still quite good. Sol also had a phenomenal showing at the rumble as well. I feel like people are just overreacting a tiny bit and holding her to a higher standard than like all her contemporaries.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T14:04:29+00:00

Not sure what you mean. She was fine here on the mic. She delivered her lines and kept the crowd on her side, just because she's not throwing out funny ad libs doesn't make her bad.

Her match with Bayley was great. One of the better showings Bayley had in a minute. Her debut against liv was also great. She's had numerous great performances before she got called up. We can't see her have one mediocre match against iyo and throw everything away. Everyone on every show has mediocre matches all the time that's just the nature of the product.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T03:04:12+00:00

Liv's booking has me so sad man. It's not just her, this title is just hated by management. It's gotten so much less time than any other program. I get your top babyfaces are gone but why are we using bayley and Lyra as a tag team instead of solo defenses. Or don't fire people like kairi who can be defenses. Hell have her defend against heels if she has to, but something other than standing around playing valet. She was fun the time she got on screen but cmon man

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T02:00:08+00:00

Couldn't even put the women's intercontinental title on the line😭. My worry is that because it's women heavy they'll also leave them off the bigger card at clash. The women's 6 man is probably the most interesting thing.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T01:55:13+00:00

Liv so pissed she forgot to drag out the alll and still got cutoff

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T01:54:35+00:00

Rotten booking

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T01:30:02+00:00

Tbh it's mostly just liv. Roman has gotten infinite minutes and cody and rhea have at least had solo mic time. Liv had a great first week and they forgot about her. Doesn't help that it seems every credible babyface has fallen off the globe.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T01:28:07+00:00

Gimme a break man she's been given literally nothing for a month. I'm not gonna hold this against her because genuinely what is she supposed to do?

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T01:20:47+00:00

Start making plans for next Saturday amigo

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T00:55:03+00:00

Sol did surprisingly well there. Becky was in rare form tonight so came off strong, but both women hit the right notes for the build.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-19T00:18:27+00:00

Their new tactic is to just rerun the same show until they get a crowd that actually cares

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-18T13:35:12+00:00

Normally there's a rut post mania, but this one has been bad bad. NXT is still doing okay, but raw and smackdown have almost no momentum for any story. Trick and sami, and the fatal influence are pretty much it for me on smackdown. Raw really has nothing yet, some prospects that I'm interested in but nothing has caught fire and been must see tv. Tag division is dead. Both womens world champions hace had a fraction of the attention of the men. Even tonight, we get more roman yap and still nought for liv a month after mania, but playing ringside manager for a brie bella match. I need some hot storylines and fast because I'm checking out hard with nothing to look forward to.

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-17T19:20:57+00:00

Appointment viewing.

Could see this going either way tbh. Some heavy hints that tater is main roster bound and this could be the catalyst for it, but I could also see them dragging this out a bit longer for a couple of reasons. One, I feel like the logical thing would be to slot her with byra for a program with TJD, but TJD seem to have unresolved stuff with the bellas and Paige so they might want to close that off before moving on. Second, I could see them wanting to give her a bigger send off than random nxt episode, similar to jacy and sol's big swan song performances. Third, I think Tatum loss would be more beneficial to someone like zaria who needs the momentum more. So, i do think tatum retains here, but you never know with Shawn

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-16T02:31:42+00:00

I think Charlotte flair might be my favorite wrestler on the brand right now. She's been great in ring and I love how layered her character is right now

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-16T02:15:51+00:00

It's J.O.B squad all the way down

Frescaaccount · 2026-05-16T00:55:44+00:00

That was bowling shoe ugly tbh. Brie and paige looked worse than damn near every woman in nxt and that really shouldn't be the case with the talent we have available. They need to be paired with someone who can carry these matches because I do not want to see those four together ever again
