This is the thing: I think it was mostly executed on purpose. Aka I think HHH understands this thing. And I think they saw her in training, made ‘oh shit, she’s good...and only we know!’ faces at each other, and set the match up wonderfully to showcase her. They built to that tag classically and then she came in and blew all of OUR tainted expectations out of the water. To me, there’s no way Haitch and them didn’t know all of this. That’s why I’m currently quite pressed about this whole Roman situation being so impressively botched. But hey...I’m trying to fall back and just watch it all unfold.
