Or steal the leg off her action figure. Looking forward to Asuka and Iyo Shirai tearing it the fuck up on Raw one week. Changing Alexa Bliss out the doll gimmick would be good. But now that she’s got this group, I think Bayley can move away from the Karen cut.

Yeah I don't know if it was nerves or what, but Io was not good at the start of the match. She bounced back though, and it ended up being a pretty good match.

I've noticed that all the japanese women who come in to american promotions have weak looking strikes, but you look at their strikes in japan and it looks like it could kill a panther. Maybe they're just going too easy because they know the girls here aren't used to working as stiff, I dunno. Even Asuka, who lays her shit in a little more than her peers has never shown me anything as hard hitting as some of her work in japan. The match against Meiko being a prime example.
