I'm wondering who this is on. The E put all their eggs in the Ronda basket well before she was camera ready in any way, but Ronda's progress and overall rasslin skill are pretty low. Her timing and showmanship feel rushed and choppy. I'll give her a pass on the mic cuz even Roman took forever to find his footing there. Is she really putting that many butts in seats still?
Solo definitely heard Roman and Heyman talking some shit about Sami or something. Really think if the Bloodline do turn on Sami that he’ll stand by him and fight against his family.
I hope this Lacey series works for her. She's got a lot of promise and is likely legitimately the true most dangerous woman on the roster (I'll leave it to others to debate a sports champion like Rhonda vs a trained combat/MP vet). Hopefully with a concisitent creative push behind her, they can build something with her.
I’m hoping they do Bianca vs Ronda to unify the women’s title and then Ronda leaves after and doesn’t come back. Introduce a midcard womens title and throw it in a 8 woman ladder match with Becky, Charlotte, Bayley, Liv etc. to make it feel big and give them all something to do and I’m happy.
I don’t see in any world how that match would be big enough to be worthy of a Wrestlemania programme especially for one of the main Women’s titles. The crowd would be dead as they have never cared much about Shayna and the promos would be awful. The whole thing would be boring. Also, Becky needs to be in a big program for Mania as she is the most popular and over star in the whole division. Her vs Ronda is the only match that makes sense.
Anyone else think the Bray Wyatt thing is boring now?? It’s been 2 months. He hasn’t wrestled. Nothing has developed really. There used to be hype and all this mysteries about the clues. Now nothing is even shared. The hype is killed and they need to get it back
They need to get him fucking up big names, even if he's just injecting himself into other feuds. If you compare it to weekly TV, you can't give him a multi episode arc languishing in a low-mid card feud. If you're playing the slow burn for whatever they're gonna reveal, you need to give him a "monster of the week" kind of plot where his story can advance whole also establishing himself as a threat
Yea if there’s one thing HHH is blinded by it’s his own black and gold success. He’s thinking all these people are stars. The casual fan doesn’t know these people. Give some background first on some before just returning them and expecting a huge response.
Lmao so true though. These shocking returns are not it. And she returns on FS1 where 1/3 of your audience will be watching????? Paul you are screwing a lot of things up.
Jey asked him if he was talking to someone outside the locker room. He lied and said no. Jey knew this was untrue because he heard the whole conversation before he came out.
I love the Bloodline as much as anyone (☝️), but the one downside of having such a dominant heel faction on top is that it makes things very hard for the faces going up against them. It was tough for KO on Raw and even tougher for Sheamus tonight. It's not that people don't like guys like Sheamus or Drew or KO, but the Bloodline is cool and no one is getting cheered against Sami Zayn right now. Not complaining, just observing. Can't wait to see where this goes. Really enjoyed the twist of Jimmy now becoming the devil on Jey's shoulder when it comes to Sami.
It is a temporary problem but anyone that comes to Sami's aid when the Bloodline finally turns on him will be nuclear hot babyfaces so they just have to grin and bear it for now.
The other side to this argument though is that the babyfaces don’t have to do as much to get cheered. They’re always the underdogs, so the crowd will always be behind them.
I agree with what you were seeing from his expressions, but that was a choice for some reason...he's been maskless/Santos for like 2 years in NXT, and that was something I don't remember from his time there.
I don’t see the point of running Ricochet vs Gunther a third time after Gunther beat him for the title and then squashed him in a rematch. He’s clearly just going to get beat again. Legado vs Imperium would’ve been a more interesting feud.
It is too early for both Legado and Imperium to be feuding with each other. They went with Ricochet because he can lose without it hurting him to much. Then GUNTHER can move on to Braun and eventually Sheamus at WrestleMania.
Legado and Imperium are both heels and Legado is not nearly over enough with the main roster crowd to justify that dynamic. They just debuted a few months ago, give them time to develop naturally before they clash this soon.
Always said Ricochet should be booked like Steph Curry, his speed and extra flippy nature is like Steph's insane shooting talent. Just a cheat code to winning.
I'm not really sure how they looked like a joke here. They handled Liv and Nox just fine and had to be attacked with a kendo stick from behind before they took off.
I don’t get people saying “Wyatt wrestling isn’t as interesting as his stories, just let him promo”. If he just wants to tell stories he should have just gone and made movies like he wanted, instead of coming to the wrestling company that does wrestling and not doing any wrestling
this is why no one cares about Damage CNTRL. Tegan Knox comes back, who no one gives a fuck about, and gets to knock around Damage CNTRL like she's Dusty Rhodes taking out the 4 Horseman in 1986.
its just nuts too. iyo is an outrageously accomplished wrestler and bayley has one multiple championships. i guess i cant speak for kai because shes so green in comparison, just christ almighty, they need to ditch damage control, do some damage control and individually build each woman back up in order to fix it
I’ve been saying for a while that if they want to go with a swerve then the implosion of the Bloodline from within due to Roman’s arrogance and casual disrespect for his cousins is way more compelling than the usual “Bloodline turn on Sami and He teams with KO to get the tag titles”.
They are certainly sowing the seeds. Roman doesn't show up every week, but Sami is always around. Roman was down the out in the War Games match, but Sami saved him.
I actually googled that show to see if she was on it.. no.. it's actual ....celebrities is not the word...but the people who show up on "celebrity shows"...nobody who's the caliber of an actual marine mp vet.
His stories never go anywhere. It's just week after week of mumbo jumbo and clues that lead to nothing in particular. This new Bray gimmick jumped the shark quicker than his previous two.
I love a long term storyline, and I’ll give Rotunda time to sell me whatever the fuck he wants, he’s earned benefit of the doubt. But I do think it’d help get this uncontrolled rage under the surface thing if he, say, trucked the everloving shit out of some random jobber in a couple of minutes.
Both Ricochet and Santos are good but seemed clear to me in that match that Ricochet is better in ring. Santos had a lot of moments where he was obviously getting prepared for the next spot rather than selling, which I think is an underrated skill that Ricochet has. Escobar’s promo from earlier in the show was definitely better than Ricochet’s though.
Best part of the show was Santos and Ricochet. I was hoping Santos wom but still a fantastic match. He and Ricochet put on a banger...after banger after banger etc
Ricochet vs Santos was really good. Kinda wish the hurricarana from the top and landing on the feet spot would go away. Excited for Gunther vs Ricochet.
I hope to GOD that's not Gunther's official finisher. What makes his matches so compelling is that he has a wide variety of moves he could easily end the match with.
hello mister Shawn Fightful from ross sapp dot com. i know you read this sub. i need you to put out a report that roderick strong is being considered to be the one to take the titles off roman at the wrestlingmania. in return for use of your predictive powers i will give you negotiable american currencies
What are the chances for HHH to bring back CWC and make it WWE’s version of “best of the super juniors”? With all the talent he has there, it’s a no brainer
Bray understands his strengths and weaknesses. Wrestling is probably the least interesting thing about him. He didn't come back to wrestle a lot of matches
I mean I agree that is fine, but if he knows it's a weakness perhaps, he should seek to improve that to smooth out the rough edges. It's what I would do if I were him personally, again not so he can wrestle more, just so that when he does not only is it better, but potentially even more memorable.
Good show, fantastic matches this week for the most part, great Bloodline stuff, Bray’s creativity shines like usual, and Tegan Nox gives the women’s roster a nice boost!!!
Does anyone else think that they need to find a new way to reintroduce these returning folks to the audience ? Hearing Mia Yim, Candice Lerae, and Tegan Nox debut to crickets hurts NGL
I don’t think they are expecting a big pop at all, I take it like “Here we have a new superstar” and that’s it, maybe some vignettes before could help though
Mia is fine. She was getting good reactions this week. Nox will be fine if she stays paired with Nox. You have to introduce them ahead of time or pair them with an established talent will they establish themselves. You don't have to do both.
They seem to assume everyone watches NXT. I've been disappointed with how they've introduced Legado. They had the best formation storyline in NXT but on SmackDown they just kinda showed up.
Poor Shotzi. She was stuck trying to salvage something out of Ronda.
I'm wondering who this is on. The E put all their eggs in the Ronda basket well before she was camera ready in any way, but Ronda's progress and overall rasslin skill are pretty low. Her timing and showmanship feel rushed and choppy. I'll give her a pass on the mic cuz even Roman took forever to find his footing there. Is she really putting that many butts in seats still?
Crowd definitely warming up to Emma, I think I saw atleast 2 people cheering this time.
This episode was really solid! Smackdown is so much better without LA Knight, Maximum Male Models, and Shit Row.
Two outta three.
I don't know why Lacey Evans doing Marine training with a full face of make up is so funny to me.
Return with no crowd reaction are so sad and a bit embarassing
bruh what was that sheamus promo lmaoo
He's gonna put a smile on "Sam's" face.
Solo definitely heard Roman and Heyman talking some shit about Sami or something. Really think if the Bloodline do turn on Sami that he’ll stand by him and fight against his family.
Did I missed some segment with Roman? When did you catched this?
I hope this Lacey series works for her. She's got a lot of promise and is likely legitimately the true most dangerous woman on the roster (I'll leave it to others to debate a sports champion like Rhonda vs a trained combat/MP vet). Hopefully with a concisitent creative push behind her, they can build something with her.
If they book her like the most dangerous woman on the roster that'll be fun.
Shayna winning the royal rumble and beating ronda rousey for the smackdown championship at wrestlemania will be so cool!
Both are boring as shit, that would be a horrible match. On the other hand, Rhea winning and beating Bianca for it at mania would be awesome.
I’m hoping they do Bianca vs Ronda to unify the women’s title and then Ronda leaves after and doesn’t come back. Introduce a midcard womens title and throw it in a 8 woman ladder match with Becky, Charlotte, Bayley, Liv etc. to make it feel big and give them all something to do and I’m happy.
I don’t see in any world how that match would be big enough to be worthy of a Wrestlemania programme especially for one of the main Women’s titles. The crowd would be dead as they have never cared much about Shayna and the promos would be awful. The whole thing would be boring. Also, Becky needs to be in a big program for Mania as she is the most popular and over star in the whole division. Her vs Ronda is the only match that makes sense.
Becky's getting that spot, sorry to burst your bubble.
Shayna better be the face in that feud.
I liked that Shayna didn't have a stupid shocked face whenever each run in's music hit, she was just annoyed that she couldn't break arms in peace.
Yeah.. I caught that too. was great!
Bayley: " Sit down with your dumb hat! "
Smackdown was good as usual. My thoughts:
Anyone else think the Bray Wyatt thing is boring now?? It’s been 2 months. He hasn’t wrestled. Nothing has developed really. There used to be hype and all this mysteries about the clues. Now nothing is even shared. The hype is killed and they need to get it back
They need to get him fucking up big names, even if he's just injecting himself into other feuds. If you compare it to weekly TV, you can't give him a multi episode arc languishing in a low-mid card feud. If you're playing the slow burn for whatever they're gonna reveal, you need to give him a "monster of the week" kind of plot where his story can advance whole also establishing himself as a threat
Bray Wyatt was always boring
It's a slow burn with a side of extra slow lol
It's Bray Wyatt. It always gets boring with him because it never concludes or goes anywhere exciting, or anywhere at all. Same old mumbo-jumbo.
His my favorite so no i do not think his boring, they are building to him going off the deep end while also trying to fight whatever is inside him.
Prince Puma defeats King Cuerno who was alone after DJ Zema Ion and Rosita were tossed from ringside.
Triple H should start showing some vignettes for these returns. The only pop Tegan got was in her knees.
He's basically reassembling the Black and Gold NXT on the main roster. Problem is a lot of the live audiences didn't watch it.
Yea if there’s one thing HHH is blinded by it’s his own black and gold success. He’s thinking all these people are stars. The casual fan doesn’t know these people. Give some background first on some before just returning them and expecting a huge response.
Lmao so true though. These shocking returns are not it. And she returns on FS1 where 1/3 of your audience will be watching????? Paul you are screwing a lot of things up.
How about instead of trying to force Lacey Evans down are throats, they push Xia li instead ?
Nah I like Lacey Evans.
Lacey was on tv?
I support a Xia Li push. Hell I’d be content with her just being on TV
[удалено]
Smeel Mainly? Can you Read the Cards ok Rocky?
How was the crowd? People said the crowd was so shit
Crowd had no reaction for tegan. Stood there silent
Triple H is really doing all he can to make the WWE2k22 roster accurate again lmao
Tegan Nox tonight.
SAniTy seems to be reforming.
Bronson Reed will be returning soon.
Rico did it for America🇺🇸
Ronda's next program will be with Racquel? Probably through the Rumble
Probably she’s from Texas
Battle of the charisma vacuums.
How did Sami lie to the Bloodline?
Jey asked him if he was talking to someone outside the locker room. He lied and said no. Jey knew this was untrue because he heard the whole conversation before he came out.
they still referencing I think when he lied to Jey about whether he'd been talking to anybody that past night (especially Kevin).
I wonder if everything is slowly burning to Bray destroying everybody at Royal Rumble? XD
What was the crowd looking at/cheering for during the main event? They weren’t looking at the match. It was something offscreen
I think some Bills were in the audience.
there was a dark match later off the air where Riddle, Braun and Liv took on the Legado members sans Santos.
Ooooooooo
KO/Sami vs the Usos at Wrestlemania, they won't drop the belts beforehand.
I love the Bloodline as much as anyone (☝️), but the one downside of having such a dominant heel faction on top is that it makes things very hard for the faces going up against them. It was tough for KO on Raw and even tougher for Sheamus tonight. It's not that people don't like guys like Sheamus or Drew or KO, but the Bloodline is cool and no one is getting cheered against Sami Zayn right now. Not complaining, just observing. Can't wait to see where this goes. Really enjoyed the twist of Jimmy now becoming the devil on Jey's shoulder when it comes to Sami.
It is a temporary problem but anyone that comes to Sami's aid when the Bloodline finally turns on him will be nuclear hot babyfaces so they just have to grin and bear it for now.
The other side to this argument though is that the babyfaces don’t have to do as much to get cheered. They’re always the underdogs, so the crowd will always be behind them.
Does anyone have the Uncle Howdy promo from tonight, can’t find it anywhere
I know Damage CTRL just recently regained the titles but I hope Liv and Tegan win the Women's Tag Team Titles soon.
Why? Liv tegan doesn’t even make sense
There aren't any decent Heel teams, so Damage Ctrl would just end up winning them back
I quite enjoyed the flippy flippy match
They made Ricochet big this time, good
Santos is pretty good. I LOVED him in lucha underground but this was my first time seeing him without the mask really.
Imho it was because he was there alone, without his people
He was nervous because his backup was thrown out, no? I thought he was accurately just freaking about not having his lackeys
I agree with what you were seeing from his expressions, but that was a choice for some reason...he's been maskless/Santos for like 2 years in NXT, and that was something I don't remember from his time there.
I don’t see the point of running Ricochet vs Gunther a third time after Gunther beat him for the title and then squashed him in a rematch. He’s clearly just going to get beat again. Legado vs Imperium would’ve been a more interesting feud.
It is too early for both Legado and Imperium to be feuding with each other. They went with Ricochet because he can lose without it hurting him to much. Then GUNTHER can move on to Braun and eventually Sheamus at WrestleMania.
Legado and Imperium are both heels and Legado is not nearly over enough with the main roster crowd to justify that dynamic. They just debuted a few months ago, give them time to develop naturally before they clash this soon.
Yea they botched that
Always said Ricochet should be booked like Steph Curry, his speed and extra flippy nature is like Steph's insane shooting talent. Just a cheat code to winning.
Same energy as Theory cashing in for the US title when he was the US champion a couple months prior.
Tbf that one didn’t end well for him.
Damage CTRL looking like a joke twice a week now. Io, Dakota & Bayley deserve better than this.
I'm not really sure how they looked like a joke here. They handled Liv and Nox just fine and had to be attacked with a kendo stick from behind before they took off.
So Shotzi ran in to make the save and immediately got beat down too. Not a great look for our girl at all
I don’t get people saying “Wyatt wrestling isn’t as interesting as his stories, just let him promo”. If he just wants to tell stories he should have just gone and made movies like he wanted, instead of coming to the wrestling company that does wrestling and not doing any wrestling
He will wrestle… people just want to see him in ring every week which won’t happen
Pretty good SD
I was 100% expecting Santos to win this, so Rico winning is a nice surprise
Didn’t think he’d win since he’s heel
I love that Solo always looks like he's thinking about something deep
Good show
[удалено]
lol what show you watching
Eh, there's Rhea, Bianca and Raquel for starters.
Bianca, Bayley, Asuka, Becky and Liv for example are all unique and not just women with brightly colored hair.
this is why no one cares about Damage CNTRL. Tegan Knox comes back, who no one gives a fuck about, and gets to knock around Damage CNTRL like she's Dusty Rhodes taking out the 4 Horseman in 1986.
Wait you mean the returning face beat on the heels until the heels used the numbers advantage? Ya don't say?
its just nuts too. iyo is an outrageously accomplished wrestler and bayley has one multiple championships. i guess i cant speak for kai because shes so green in comparison, just christ almighty, they need to ditch damage control, do some damage control and individually build each woman back up in order to fix it
Okay guys hold the pitchforks and torches please, but am I the only one who thinks the World Cup finals wasn’t THAT good?
I agree with you. it was off tonight, people here downvote you when you critic the product but im sure even both wrestlers know something was off
main event ruled
Broke: The Bloodline is going to end up turning on Sami, following the orders of the Head of the Table Roman Reigns.
I’ve been saying for a while that if they want to go with a swerve then the implosion of the Bloodline from within due to Roman’s arrogance and casual disrespect for his cousins is way more compelling than the usual “Bloodline turn on Sami and He teams with KO to get the tag titles”.
Bespoke: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn become the new joint Heads Of The Table
You know what I would love? If Solo betrays Roman and takes control of the Bloodline, and Sami is the only one who sides with Roman.
They are certainly sowing the seeds. Roman doesn't show up every week, but Sami is always around. Roman was down the out in the War Games match, but Sami saved him.
Would be better imo if it was Jey who ended up being the mastermind behind Roman’s demise, because he’s more than anyone bore the wrath of Roman.
That would be inzayn!
Roman says he puts the food on the table, yet Sami is the one doing the food run.
I know he’s champ rn and got nothing to do with a Smackdown , but how likely do you guys think Samoa Joe will end up back in WWE
As a wrestler? Not very likely at all. After his career winds down as a producer or coach in NXT? Very likely.
The chances of him returning have DRASTIC gone down
The opener, main event, and Gunther vs. Kofi were all fun.
HHH just keeps adding women to the division but almost all of them have no credibility right now
I get the feeling even a different champ would struggle with the way the division currently is.
Not gonna lie that Rey Mysterio tarot card Scarlet pulled out looked pretty sick.
I have to build up my bond with Yusuke to make the Mysterio Persona more powerful
I’m pretty positive that tarot card image was a shirt design like ten years ago. Regardless, still great and glad to see it back.
Wonder if the WM rumour is true and he's heading to retirement.
I hope they keep pulling cards to start off new feuds because that Rey card was dope
Nonzero chance the latest Lacey repackage just ends up being some cross-promotion for that Special Forces reality show Fox is about to premiere.
I actually googled that show to see if she was on it.. no.. it's actual ....celebrities is not the word...but the people who show up on "celebrity shows"...nobody who's the caliber of an actual marine mp vet.
Notably the clip said "Special thanks to the Department of Defense" at the bottom.
Oh shit I think there might’ve been a sheep mask in the Wyatt promo stuff😳
There was a Court of Owls mask (from Batman) in it.
Damn thought I didn’t have to do this anymore😩
His stories never go anywhere. It's just week after week of mumbo jumbo and clues that lead to nothing in particular. This new Bray gimmick jumped the shark quicker than his previous two.
Bruh how has the story progressed at all since LA Knight slapped him?
I love a long term storyline, and I’ll give Rotunda time to sell me whatever the fuck he wants, he’s earned benefit of the doubt. But I do think it’d help get this uncontrolled rage under the surface thing if he, say, trucked the everloving shit out of some random jobber in a couple of minutes.
Woo, wrasslin'!
Rey is a legend and one of the best wrestlers ever but I'm sure HHH is embarrassed.
Idk where he wants him but since Roman can't lose, it would be the worse idea to make him feud.
Hes just boring. Entrance, gimmick, Scarlett are pretty dope but he's got lame gear and moves.
Liv & Teagan new tag team 🤩
[удалено]
I think Alexa is headed for a character change, and it’s probably best to move on from that pairing.
Last Raw episode hinted at Alexa turning heel, she might be Bianca's next challenger.
Not the greatest episode as a whole, but at least the main event was excellent.
They need vignettes like Lacey Evans or more promo time.
Both Ricochet and Santos are good but seemed clear to me in that match that Ricochet is better in ring. Santos had a lot of moments where he was obviously getting prepared for the next spot rather than selling, which I think is an underrated skill that Ricochet has. Escobar’s promo from earlier in the show was definitely better than Ricochet’s though.
His selling needs work, but his promos are good. Just like his work in ring
Escobar's lack of selling has irked me ever since he was in NXT. It was noticable down there but I always looked past it because of his charisma
Are we getting ic match next week or Rumble
In two weeks
Two weeks from now. Cole said it right at the end.
Ricochet/Santos was legit top five TV MOTY. Rocked.
I can never look at that trophy and take it serious now lol that will be always be Shane’s thing
I believe that we Ricochet will win!
Best part of the show was Santos and Ricochet. I was hoping Santos wom but still a fantastic match. He and Ricochet put on a banger...after banger after banger etc
What a breathtaking Main Event!!
I remember watching walter v ricochet on some european event and it ruled they hve really good chemistry.
Ricochet vs Santos was really good. Kinda wish the hurricarana from the top and landing on the feet spot would go away. Excited for Gunther vs Ricochet.
I am sad my familia lost 😔
But they are so interesting! One of the best additions
I hope to GOD that's not Gunther's official finisher. What makes his matches so compelling is that he has a wide variety of moves he could easily end the match with.
hello mister Shawn Fightful from ross sapp dot com. i know you read this sub. i need you to put out a report that roderick strong is being considered to be the one to take the titles off roman at the wrestlingmania. in return for use of your predictive powers i will give you negotiable american currencies
While you’re at it, I’ll chip in if you also ask him to put out a report saying HHH is gonna make Dario Cueto a WWE official
I sometimes read ppl say that they don't see any difference in WWE since HHH took over.
With a schoolboy finish.
Absolutely! I think theres a huge difference from the match lengths and storylines to all the different people getting their chance to shine
Ricochet became a star tonight. Keep this momentum going by letting him and GUNTHER have a belter.
Really enjoyed the show tonight with a fantastic main event.
Tegan Nox is back. Nothing else matters.
Seemed like nobody cared… 😄
Ricochet and Santos have been established so hard as of tonight. What a fucking match.
I’m still awaiting Waffle House cam
That match absolutely banged
holy shit riccochet and escobar was a banger. run it baaaaack
Ricochet didn’t to the trophy lift right
What are the chances for HHH to bring back CWC and make it WWE’s version of “best of the super juniors”? With all the talent he has there, it’s a no brainer
better than 0, but probably not for a while..summer maybe..
Bray understands his strengths and weaknesses. Wrestling is probably the least interesting thing about him. He didn't come back to wrestle a lot of matches
I mean I agree that is fine, but if he knows it's a weakness perhaps, he should seek to improve that to smooth out the rough edges. It's what I would do if I were him personally, again not so he can wrestle more, just so that when he does not only is it better, but potentially even more memorable.
He should've started doing B-horror movies instead of being in a WRESTLING show then lol
Then he should be out making movies and shit, not being in a wrestling company that does wrestling
People need to let him tell his story, he's a wildly creative mind and Smackdown is running perfectly fine without him in the ring right now.
I have never seen an avalanche Poisonrana before. That was AMAZING!
watch Sasha v Bayley then lol it’s famously the final spot before the finish
There's a famous one at the end of Bayley/Sasha's Brooklyn match, actually.
Nations League, Gold Cup, FIFA World Cup, WWE World Cup. El Tri continues to lose to the US.
DOS2 A CERO
I hate it here
Well, they just blamed everything on Tata Martino and fired his ass, so who is Legado del Fantasma going to fire? Zelina?
Good show, fantastic matches this week for the most part, great Bloodline stuff, Bray’s creativity shines like usual, and Tegan Nox gives the women’s roster a nice boost!!!
🦅 I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL WIN 🦅
Does anyone else think that they need to find a new way to reintroduce these returning folks to the audience ? Hearing Mia Yim, Candice Lerae, and Tegan Nox debut to crickets hurts NGL
I have a brilliant idea! They could turn off the lights before.
I don’t think they are expecting a big pop at all, I take it like “Here we have a new superstar” and that’s it, maybe some vignettes before could help though
Mia is fine. She was getting good reactions this week. Nox will be fine if she stays paired with Nox. You have to introduce them ahead of time or pair them with an established talent will they establish themselves. You don't have to do both.
There’s something to be said for just bringing them out right away and letting them get pops later when they actually do stuff.
WWE isn’t going to lose anything from them not getting a pop. They are going to get over. The division is in desperate need of more women
They really need video packages for wrestlers who spent little time in the main roster before getting released.
They seem to assume everyone watches NXT. I've been disappointed with how they've introduced Legado. They had the best formation storyline in NXT but on SmackDown they just kinda showed up.
