The issue isn't Sasha being pissed. It's the way she expressed it. And speaking of being unprofessional as a performer, what does it say about Sasha if Bayley - who's also impacted by all of this - was there the next night to do her job and perform, despite her obvious disappointment at her short run as champion?

Everyone has the right to angry about their position in a company at some point. But while Sasha's booking has also been questionable as you pointed out, at least, she got those opportunities. I don't think I need to point out here again when Harper was red hot during the Orton/Bray feud and fans were begging for Harper to be added to the WWE title match at Wrestlemania. No one would've expected him to win but at least, he would've been given an opportunity to shine on the Grandest Stage of 'Em All and to raise his stock within the company. Instead, I don't even remember if he was in the Andre battle royal or if he wasn't booked period. Again, I don't question Sasha's right to be angry about the creative material but I sure give myself the right to question the way she's been handling it and reportedly, dragging Bayley into it in a way that could screw up her standing in the company because her BFF has a case of the boo-boo face.

Oh, I've never questioned her grievances. I understand her frustration about dropping the Women's Tag Titles this quickly when they thought they'd have a long reign to establish their credibility. I don't even think they had an issue with eventually dropping them to the IIconics. I can also understand her disappointment at seeing the Boss N' Hug Connection being split that early (although they should've established that one year earlier instead of all that love/hate fuckery). At best, I'm amused by her high school bickering with Alexa Bliss. But if you wanna be perceived as a professional in any business, don't throw hissy fits and temper tantrums the way she's done historically since her call up to the main roster. You can be right about your gripes over something but the way you handle it changes EVERYTHING.

Can you honestly tell me with a straight face that Harper had as many opportunities in the spotlight than Sasha did? The Four Horsewomen have pretty much been the most featured women in the division in the past 3 years, in exception to Alexa Bliss. Harper's opportunities came very few and far between and granted that injuries derailed most of those, it's still baffling that a guy that can move the way he does - and the most naturally gifted of all 3 Wyatt Family members back then - was as poorly used as Harper was. If they found something to do for Rowan (which I have nothing against, I think his pairing with Daniel Bryan works great for the dynamic they're portrayting), they could've easily featured Harper in more prominent roles.

What a great way to introduce the Heart Punch as that devastating finisher. Simple and efficient as it strikes fear and awe to everyone in attendance.

Gable's got youth behind him. If he's booked as a heel, a series of matches with Finn Balor and Mustafa Ali for the Intercontinental Championship could really be fun. As for Roode, I hope he gets a solid run with his character more like what he did with NXT. But given that I'm a big fan of Bobby Roode, I might be biased.

Almost a broadway in the main event in all of your spot shows. Awesome to give the World Class faithful their money's worth!

That Junior Heavyweight division is really fun. Lots of unpredictability and that's what I like most!

So, you're saying there's been a hostage exchange between Steph & the IIconics. Hell, that had to be one cushy basement in Greenwich.

Imagine Murdoch & Schultz aligning with the Freebirds in the long-term. The Von Erichs are in for a rough couple of weeks!

Uncle Dave couldn't help himself by inserting that line about the IIconics being jokes. He still isn't over Peyton Royce publicly calling him out like she did. Personally, I don't have issues with people being unhappy about their situation. But I look at the way Dean Ambrose handled his situation and how Sasha is handling hers and it's pretty hard for me to ever be on her side afterwards. She doesn't scream "professional" to me.
