The third episode of WWE: Unreal was focused on the women’s division, mainly during the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber events. Chelsea Green, Charlotte Flair, and Bianca Belair were at the heart of the story, giving fans the opportunity to learn more about all three women and what they’re like away from the cameras. The three featured WWE Superstars came across brilliantly and likely gained some extra fans due to their passionate appearance about the business. It was an insightful episode of the Netflix series that has the entire wrestling world talking right now, with some memorable takeaways from this one that fans should be aware of.
Chelsea Green Refused A Match Finish
- Green was booked to win the Women’s United States Championship.
- It was suggested that she win with a leg drop from the second rope.
- Green ended up winning with her Unprettier finish.
Chelsea Green was focused on throughout this episode as she openly admitted that she has no problem losing and putting people over, even if it makes her look ridiculous. However, Triple H rewarded her by having Green win the Women’s United States title, and fans got to see how the finish of that match was put together.
On the day of, it was suggested to her that she would win via a Leg Drop from the second rope, despite the fact that she had never done the move before. It was a random situation, and even though Green tried to practice the move, she made it clear that it wasn’t something she was comfortable with.
In the end, Green won with her normal finisher of the Unprettier, and that was the right decision for that moment. However, it gave fans a unique insight into how matches are put together, with big calls being made late in the day.
A Raw, More Emotional Charlotte Flair
- A lot of fans find Charlotte Flair too arrogant to root for.
- Charlotte was shown following her latest surgery.
- She was shown to be vulnerable leading up to the Royal Rumble.
Charlotte Flair is someone who divides wrestling fans, with many loving her for the in-ring quality that she brings, while others find her to be too arrogant and hard to get behind. That is what made this particular episode so fascinating, as fans got the chance to learn about who she is as a person, rather than a wrestler.
Flair was very open throughout the episode, showcasing a side of herself that audiences hadn’t experienced before. It began with her undergoing surgery and the subsequent process, after which she returned to the business, with her passion shining through.
There was a level of vulnerability to her in the episode, and even after she won the Royal Rumble, it was clear that she was still unsure about how things would unfold, which was interesting to see.
A Funny Women’s Royal Rumble Match Pitch
- Chelsea Green was pushed to win the match in a comedic angle.
- Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair were the main favorites pitched.
- Green winning would have surprised fans.
The booking of the Women’s Royal Rumble match was shown throughout the episode, allowing fans to see inside the meeting where the plans were put together. Charlotte Flair and Bianca Belair were the two main names pitched to win that match, and the Queen was the person who eventually got the win.
However, the meeting also saw a hilarious pitch take place where the idea of Chelsea Green winning the Royal Rumble was suggested. While she was on a high at that time, having her win the entire Rumble would’ve been a big surprise at the time, especially in the way it was pitched.
The idea would’ve seen the number 28 and 29 entrants eliminate each other, with Green then being the 30th entrant. Because there would have been nobody left to wrestle, she would have won automatically. It was a hilarious idea, but it’s something that was obviously never going to come to fruition.
Bianca Belair’s Commitment To Her Ring Gear
- Belair admitted she feels a mental advantage over her opponents as she makes her own gear.
- Belair wrestled out of her boot at Elimination Chamber and broke it.
- Montez Ford revealed she makes everything so she knows it’s hers on the action figures.
Bianca Belair was heavily focused on throughout this episode, and one of the big talking points from her story was how she makes her own ring gear. The EST of WWE revealed that she makes everything she wears, and while fans knew that she was creating some of her ring gear, it wasn’t known that she did absolutely all of it.
Seeing her put things together at home and at the last minute before a show was a unique vantage point for the WWE Universe to have, with this being something that fans would never normally get to experience.
It highlighted an amazing level of commitment from her, proving just how much effort she’s willing to put in to look the part. This is one of the reasons why she’s operating at the main event level, with these small details paying off.
Triple H Is Impressed With WWE’s Women’s Division
- Triple H was pleased with the women’s Elimination Chamber.
- Shane Helms didn’t disagree with him.
- Triple H was proud of the women’s behavior.
It’s well known that Triple H is a big fan of women’s wrestling, a sentiment that has been evident since he took charge of NXT many years ago. However, this episode of WWE: Unreal caught his personal opinion on the women’s division on camera, as he praised them while talking to Shane Helms.
Triple H made it clear that he thinks the women pick things up faster than their male counterparts and get on with ideas that are presented to them without any ego being brought into play. It’s obvious that he was impressed by what they did at Elimination Chamber, and seeing him talk in that way was interesting.
Triple H also touched on the entire roster at the WWE Performance Center, as he claimed that there are five good women’s wrestlers for every one man. He obviously thinks that they adapt and learn better than the men, which is an interesting insight into his perspective on the industry.
