I tend to agree with this as well.
Also, on another note...Not that I DISAGREE with the decision to put the belts on them, but I am SHOCKED that they have decided to give the belts to Roxanne and Cora so soon. And I hope that this only means that long-term plans include building both up to eventually chase the NXT Women's Championship. I think both would eventually make great champions. Roxanne a bit more than Cora. Because, as I have previously expressed, Cora hasn't really done a whole lot for me in order to persuade me to want to go all in. Perhaps this championship run with Roxanne will fix that for me.

Also, going back a day, to RAW...What in the HOLY H-E-Double Hockey Sticks were they trying to do with Otis??? That was just disgusting. I get the hot dog eating contest, since July 4th traditionally has a pretty darn big one (Nathan's), but to then take it a step further and have Otis get "sick" because of it, and eventually "throwing up", took it a bit too far for me.
Oh, I agree. Going back to my original comment, what I was trying to get at is that I don't necessarily disagree with the decision to put the titles on Cora and Roxanne; I just disagree with the timing of that action. I, just like you, would have much rather see them put the belts on Kayden and Katana right now. And then build Cora and Roxanne up to eventually take the belts from them.
Although I agree that it will never happen for obvious reasons, I kind of want to see them turn Kacy Katana heel, and give her a run as a "bad girl". I actually genuinely believe that she would be a great heel.
But, then, I've said that about many others in the past, and they've all left me with a sour taste in my mouth.

The powers that be need to pick a direction for their characters. It seems they’ve been kind of tweeners leaning heel, but not fully decided on it in backstage segments for awhile now… Then they still play to the crowd with their entrances and style.
Their tag finish is one of the coolest in the game. Should definitely be winning titles with it.

Oh, and before I forget...They couldn't have given Cora a stronger skateboard before she went out? I mean, like one that didn't break before it even made contact with Roxanne's body? That looked SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad on TV, that it almost made the heel turn look super weak. That was a major fail by the WWE, in my honest opinion. If you're going to turn someone heel by having them use their weapon of choice, at least make it believable, and look like they're actually doing some damage to the other person.
Wendy Choo the narcoleptic sleeping on lockers and crates was … fine. Wendy Choo the mischievous 8 year old woman is annoying. As for Mei Ying, the character was pretty neat and so different and out there but then she just sat in her throne for like half a year. Any of the anticipation just fizzled dead, and the character was dead in the water.
As for the battle Royal winner. Stark is a good wrestler with a killer finish. I really hope she finds something to connect with the “Universe” … idk if I see her being the one to beat Mandy though.
I’m awaiting the Tiffany run after a face dethrones Mandy. She’s picked this up so quickly and is super entertaining in all aspects.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind Stark as a wrestler. I just don't like when the WWE pushes people that are just coming back from an injury, and automatically throws them into championship contention without any sort of a build up...I would have much rather given the title shot to anyone else not named Stark. And then build Stark up to eventually become the number 1 contender to whoever the champion is at the time (which, by the way, I hope is still Mandy Rose; She has been money as the champion).
Meh. Mandy Rose's run as champion has basically been, "I'm hot, you're not. Get on my level...", and then the same generic matches, over and over again. I can't think of a single memorable match that she's had, since her return to NXT, so it's surprising to see her reign surpass so many better NXT Women's champions. That said, she absolutely needed a refresh from her first run on the main roster, and this run has been highly successful, in that regard, even though Sonya's repackaging has, from a gimmick standpoint, been way better.
