Despite the star-studded match, there were numerous botches that took place, compelling the fans to lose interest. The WWE Universe took to X to express their disappointment with the women.
“The woman’s match is so bad omg so many botches,” wrote one fan. “Charlotte is the queen of botches,” another one targeted Charlotte for missing a spot. Fans also caught Michael Cole reacting to the botches. “Cole tryna laugh off the botch lmao,” they wrote. However, amidst multiple botches, fans could distinguish Shotzi, who had numerous scary botches during the match.
“Took Shotzi 2 seconds to botch and she did it twice,” another fan took a dig at Shotzi for bringing in botches for the iconic match. With this being said, Shotzi might lose all the future chances of being the main event for any WWE PLE. “Botch galore,” another fan labelled the event. However, despite multiple tough spots, the women carried forward the match, giving a perfect start to the PLE.

All the women being equally capable, fans were worried after Becky Lynch’s face turned red, bleeding in multiple places. Following this, the medical team checked up on ‘The Man‘ and continued the match. The match turned brutal after Asuka was allowed to enter the ring. She, with the help of Dakota Kai, brought numerous props to the ring.
Fans had been doubtful as to how Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair would join hands in the rings following a great rivalry beyond the ring. However, their hug broke all the doubts as they gave their best to bring the win to their side.
