Wembley's a no-brainer, seeing as though Davey Boy beat Bret there, there's some strong history to play into.

(I think it's a different building now but that doesn't matter because wrestling.)

He's probably crying because he knows he's gonna have to feed both of them to Nikki Bella to appease John Cena.

And I think she might be the only woman in the WWE to that debuted in FCW or NXT to have a singles match for the Divas Championship.

I don't have the time to check it 100% and it's really contrived to knock out Summer Rae, Emma (only had the battle royal match) and Alicia Fox and Natalya (debuted in OVW or DSW).

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I'd say only because Zayne is injured but they'd both be equally as over as genuine babyfaces in NXT anyway.

In fairness, 'lass kicker' is one of the worst ideas for a shirt they've had in recent years, and it's not something they actually advertise or say very often during any show. I was amazed it got the green light in the first place; I'm not surrpised it's not breaking any sales records.

It must be weird to go from putting on one of the best women's matches WWE have ever put on from one day, to being stuck with Naomi and Tamina and getting ejected first from the tag match on Sunday.

Should've been Charlotte, Becky and Sasha. Could've shoved Paige in with T/N or just not had that third team entirely, because it was completely unnecessary.

I don't know about the other merch stands at Takeover, but the NXT tent outside the arena sold out of Sasha Banks shirts. Pretty drat awesome.

Imagine if they'd given Sasha that SUV/Manservant entrance for her debut instead of listlessly adding her to a terrible team.

But then she wouldn't get to job to whatever shitastic lank-wizard Bella twin was available to poorly do moves in her general direction.

It was pretty funny how the original run of the Lass Kicker shirt included men's sizes, and nobody in all of merch or marketing caught that until it had been available for quite a time.

Maiden Ireland isn't a bad one though. Especially with the \m/ in the middle.

for some reason Becky keeps reading as "mad scientist" to me ever since she got the goggles and now I just want vignettes where she's trying to come up with weird steampunk weaponry to use against her opponents and every time she uses one in the ring it backfires in a puff of steam

"steampunk Wile E. Coyote wrestler" seems like an okay character, idk

Imagine if any divas had a unique or interesting entrance. It would go a long way to getting the crowd to care about them. Last one I remember was Melina with the paparazzi.

Chyna had that weird gun for a while too, but yeah they're really rare. Actually those might be the only two that have ever had an entrance more elaborate than 'walks to the ring and gyrates suggestively'.

Steampunk is cool in Jules Verne books (does this even count since it was more contemporary science fiction?) and the Mignolaverse. That's it.
