Maybe they figured they had too many matches on the show and it was a way to get rid of one. All I know is it changed this afternoon. You want it to make sense. It doesn't. It can't when you change the story every week.

They did this exact finish and from then on, the commentators would always reference the Outlaw Rule and that you couldn't pin your partner.

Originally Posted by Fightful The Bella Twins are already teasing a comeback. On the season finale of Total Bellas this past Sunday, Nikki Bella announced that she would be retiring from wrestling. Earlier this month, Brie Bella also informed fans that she would be stepping away from the ring as well. In the wake of their retirement, the twins announced that they would be starting a new podcast titled The Bellas Podcast. On the premiere episode, Brie & Nikki revealed that would come back if it meant getting their hands on the Women's Tag Team Titles. "Nicole and I did tell everyone that we are stepping away from the ring, which is true, we are. But we also said that before the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles came into place," said Brie. "This is the thing, for years we were begging for the Women's Tag Team Titles. Begging. We never thought it could truly be a reality. The fact that it is now, makes it extremely tempting for us to go back and fight for them because we're really the longest reigning, most authentic tag team." Nikki added, "Overall, we are the only real, true blood, tag team."

Originally Posted by Fightful Try as they might, WWE won't be able to stop Joey Janela's Spring Break even if they take measures next year. Janela's third offering of Spring Break sold out both nights quickly, to the point Janela and Game Changer Wrestling are already planning ahead. With unsubstantiated reports of WWE trying to limit independent shows surrounding their WrestleMania 36 show in Tampa, Florida next year, Game Changer wrestling was ahead of the curve. "We have a contract locked up already. It's already been signed, so there's nothing they can do," Joey Janela told Fightful. "If they kibosh all the other indies that weekend, has nothing to do with me. Brett Lauderdale was ahead of the game. He was in Tampa last week. Deal is done, there's nothing they can do. We're expecting something special next year. It's going to be a wild crowd."

Triple H did mention last year or so that women segments and matches have been a lot more consistent with generating high quarter-hour ratings compared to their men's stuff.

Originally Posted by WrestlingInc It was confirmed this week that Joey Ryan, Thunder Rosa (Kobra Moon), Ivelisse Velez and El Hijo del Fantasma (King Cuerno) were released from their Lucha Underground contracts. There's now speculation on King Cuerno possibly going to WWE in the near future. Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Cuerno had an offer from WWE at one point. There's no word yet on if WWE still has interest in the former AAA World Cruiserweight Champion, but it was assumed that the offers still stand. Cuerno was reportedly offered a spot in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic back in 2016, but Lucha Underground and AAA would not allow him to enter. Regarding Velez possibly coming to WWE, Meltzer noted that she has had behind-the-scenes issues with people in WWE in the past, which is why she's not there now. There's been no recent talk of Velez possibly returning to WWE, but that could change as WWE looks to sign as many talents from the indies as they can ... There's been rumors on Lucha Underground being done, but that's not official yet.
