Looks like it was just your typical WWE talent cut. Nothing she did specifically



What are you talking about? Chad 2 Badd and Tex Ferguson wrestled the only tag match I saw
I doubt dressing up for a Halloween gimmick match, only to get hit with pumpkins, wasn't what they had it mind when they were signed.

They knew what they were getting into. Gallows after all has worked for WWE before in a bad gimmick. I'm sure he told Anderson before they signed. That said, I agree they've been used badly but you can say that about a lot of WWE main roster talent.

They had something good going with The Shield, then Reigns got sick. Sadly Strowman/Miz are the only ones who have been able to pick up the slack from everyone else.

Regardless of what they knew coming in, I have a feeling Anderson probably didn't think it would be as bad as it has been. Feel bad for em, cause they're both so much better than that.

Sadly, you can say that for the majority of the indy guys on the roster minus Owens/Zayn/Styles pretty much.

Why are they bringing more women from NXT over? The title picture is already cloudy enough as it is.

At least its interesting. I like the idea of a nasty, mean Paige having her own faction.

The more credible people you have challenging for a title the better. Besides I don't think these NXT women will be challenging, just there to help Paige. And Alexa, Paige, Bayley, Sasha, & Asuka(plus Nia and Mickie right below them) all being credible women in the division is ok by me.

But they made the wrong choice in the talent.

I would have chose either the Iconic duo or any combo of Ripley, Baslzer, Storm or LeRae

I wonder if they're going with a WM VI style champion vs champion match with Lesnar/Reigns this April.

I think that remains to be seen. They made a good first impression on me and Mandy Rose has come a long way since Tough Enough and has a good look. A heel Paige leading a heel stable could be interesting. I think we need to see where WWE goes from here with it. It could be great or they could hot shot it and kill it quick. With WWE creative you never know which one it will be.

Based on what I just read on PWInsider.com, it appears WWE is building on the association between Paige a judge on the last season of Tough enough and two competitors from that show, Rose and Deville. IMO that makes sense. But as I just said, I'll take a wait and see on what WWE creative does with this.

Follow suit with the same gimmick on smackdown.Not a fan of paige,Rose or Deville.Not sure what they were thinking with Ruby Riot,Liv Morgan and sarah logan.

Mandy might not be bad. It's Deville i dis agree with.

I might like this NXT trio. Just give them Camo and say there here to takeover and take their oppurtuinity.

I'm not a fan of the Mandy or Sonya angle.Never cared for Ruby Riot at NXT.Live spent the bulk of her time there jobbing.I think the thing she's known most for is being Enzo's ex.Sarah Logan kinda bored me.Who knows it could be good.But its almost like the WWE i handing out factions like Oprah now.

I thought attacking Champions was Adam Coles thing :noidea:

I liked the Paige stuff. Bray is dead in the water though. That's what happens when you never let a guy win anything. The only good thing about it was it looks like they're finally gonna do some version of Broken Matt Hardy

I read a story that WWE trademarked a new name, something about mixed tag tournament. It is their plan for the next live show, and what people believe is the reason so many women were brought up. I don't know who's idea this is, but to do an entire show on mixed tag teams sure seems like a dumpster fire waiting to happen, that is unless they find the next Lita or Jacqueline who can hold their own against a man.
