If Triple H has his way, probably several years from now, or never (Carmella will likely be irrelevant or gone from the company in a few years).

Alicia Fox has been around for a decade and has been mostly irrelevant the entire time.

If that's true Madison Rayne will have wrestled in ROH, TNA, and WWE in the last month or so, and possibly winning titles in the former two.

Still gonna get wrecked by Brock though.

Because they are. But some people can't be told. I dropped a serious hint about Sienna but y'all guessed pretty everything but.

This list is on the money:

More names to come. Mainly US, Mexico and another from a South American Country. And another Joshi.

No Jordynne Grace, Shazza or Madison Eagles, unfortunately.

I wonder if there's a change that Reika Saika (?) could be the other joshi called up for the MYC. She's gots muscles, has a decent look and wrestling ability. Though I wonder if the other joshi would come from Stardom or from Meiko Satomura's connections/ wrestling promotion.

Been told by a few people this is a tryout more than full hire. Debuted tonight at the NXT tapings:

Gearl Hebner is, as far as I can tell, the one good ref in the PNW indie scene. Its cool to see her get a tryout but I'm worried about how DEFY will replace her. Their other ref is trying, bless his heart, but not very good.

Solo Darling has a shot at CHIKARA's Grand Championship next Saturday against Juan Francisco de Coronado. I think she's the first woman to compete for it since Kimber Lee held the title.

I could talk in circles about Chelsea, MYC II and being signed.

Ultimately it all could happen. In the initial production notes, she is listed for MYC II but there are people involved in those decisions who are on down her for whatever reasons.

Kavita Devi is coming back for the MYC II apparently. She's pretty goddamn big from a height perspective. I fully expect her to be used to put over someone's strength.

I dunno if this is a joke post or not, but Blue Pants will likely never work in WWE or NXT again. Dunno the exact reason why (Rovert can probably elaborate), but I heard it had to do with ego issues.

I thought that ego issues were Tessa Blanchard's issue. I thought Leva's issue was that she just wasn't a good wrestler.

Blue Pants wasn't in the MYC last year either. She was a pretty frequent jobber on the NXT when it first started taping at Full Sail, and she apparently developed a pretty big ego issue/bad attitude as a result. The crowd loved her, but she wasn't very good either.

But yeah, Tessa had some pretty big ego problems last year.

She always cosplays, that's her thing.

Leva's never cosplayed Alexa. The main reason Leva stopped getting booked at NXT was because at the time NXT changed writers and the old writer was the one who liked Leva. There was this whole thing about Leva getting drunk or something the weekend of NXT Brooklyn, but that wasn't true. I am sure some of the talent didn't like WWE using Leva over them, but Leva is the last person to have any kind of ego whatsoever.

Honestly, with all the contracted talent in NXT, they really don't need to use Blue Pants anymore. Leva's booked solid most weekends though, so she's hardly hurting for work these days.

Leva's done Harley Quinn, The Joker, and 1000 other DC/Marvel characters. Alexa kinda had Harley Quinn and Joker inspired gear, but that's about as close as it gets.

Alexa's thing (it was really Blake and Murphy's thing but she carried it over after the callup for a bit) was her regular gear with certain character's color schemes. Except for Freddie, but that was Halloween.

DM Punk is very biased towards Blue Pants. The truth lies in the middle.

She kinda old news these days. Barely seems to wrestle. Her shoot job, Twitch and commendable amounts of charity seem to occupy her time.

To me, she's a call back to when Women's Wrestling had low standards in-ring wise and lack of a culture of criticism. I do recognise she's popular and knows how to get over. At the same time, WrestleCircus paying her to do entrances and run ins is a concite she's pretty lovely in the ring.

The standard these days is a lot higher inside and outside of NXT.

DM Punk
Aug 24, 2004
Leva's got a title match at SHINE tonight FYI. Also, she wrestles almost every weekend. And the weekends she isn't, she hosts panels at comic cons and whatnot. I'd argue she's booked more now than she was during the NXT run.

She's literally a tag champion in SHIMMER, the gold standard for women's wrestling outside of Japan. She's basically a regular in almost every major women's fed in the US. Really the only big companies she doesn't work for is Beyond/WWR, AAW, and Nova Pro.
