        You can chalk that up to Statlander's injury. - the wrong element May 28, 22:26
        
        That was all love for Statlander, you weird, weird man. -- nm - David May 28, 19:33 8
        
        (And the "experiment" will take the belt from Toni Storm soon.) -- nm - David May 28, 19:34 7
        
        I’m gonna guess Hayter really is hurt. I can see her getting it back before Wembley. -- nm - Tim May 28, 19:43 2
        
        Yeah, she legitimately wasn't medically cleared two weeks ago. I think they'll hold her until then to give her the pop she deserves. -- nm - David May 28, 19:44 1

        I think it's more a potential rematch at All In. - the wrong element May 28, 22:22
        
        she deserves it. And time to get more training in. -- nm - Remlik May 28, 19:52
      - It's weird. They'll go from zero to ten. -- nm - David May 28, 19:29 1
