    So about an hour for the Raw women, US belt and the Universal.

    Two more trivia notes regarding the "two belt" era, when there have been two world championships (since September 2002):
    1) This is the longest we've gone without one of the big belts changing hands. It's been 285 days since AJ Styles won the WWE Championship from Jinder Mahal. The previous long was 282 days in 2005-06. Bastista and Cena both won world titles at Wrestlemania in April 2005. Cena held the WWE title for more than a year, and Batista kept the World Heavyweight Championship until vacating it because of an injury in January 2006.
    2) No matter what happens with the Universal title later on, this is the deepest into a calendar year the WWE has gone without a world championship changing hands. The longest it had been before was April.

    It's the Network Era and this is one of the Big Four pay per views. Try two hours for all of that. Ninety minutes, at least.

    Ronda needs to win in under one minute.

    Why is her face painted? Did I miss something?

    Took longer than expected, however, that was predictable.

    Nice ovation for Nattie. Total squash by Ronda, who looks totally weird with that face paint. Bliss may never recover.

    Also, three other things:

    1. When Jeff Hardy paints his face like that, he reminds me, in a weird way, of those plastic cat clocks where the cat's eyes would switch back and forth. Those freaked me out when I was three years old.

    B. Jeff, WTF? Do you really want to be addicted to painkillers for the rest of your life?

    III. What was the purpose of Orton coming out again?

    Brock is definitely training for UFC. He’s cut.

    Why did that end it so fast?

    That was anticlimactic.

    While it would be a lawsuit waiting to happen, Brock should have thrown the briefcase in the stands.

    Really glad Lesnar's reign is over. They desperately needed to get the belt off of him and onto a "regular" guy.
    But very disappointed with that finish. Lesnar is the biggest heel in New York right now.
    And, you know, as always, fuck Roman Reigns with a rusty railroad spike.
