I mean the ideal story is her to lose and then murder the other 5 entrants one by one in singles matches but Vince couldn't write a hot push to save his life at this point.

Also lol Darkstar do you really think they'd go with Io or Bianca over just doing the Charlotte feud? If Bianca gets called up and doesn't vanish instantly into the jobber zone I would be so shocked.

Yeah. I think WWE is pretty self aware at this point that no one wants to see Charlotte/Becky again for a very long time. That being said, I still feel like Shayna might win at Wrestlemania, just so they can run Charlotte/Shayna after Mania.

There's a chance we could see Charlotte try to potato Shayna which would be interesting

The most WWE thing would be to have Charlotte beat everyone at EC as a surprise and have her face Becky at Mania after she beats Rhea.

Kairi losing in a squash wouldn't have made a difference. Shayna got the same reactions during the Survivor Series match last year as well. Her style just isn't compelling viewing.

Another big problem is that Shayna NEEDS an underdog babyface to play off of. And the main roster has buried every single underdog babyface in the women's division by either piling on a ton of losses, or turning them heel, or both!

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

This is from a while back, so I'm sorry. But related to WWE paying Konnor of Surf Dudes With AttitudesThe Ascension to sit at home for 9 months before future endeavouring him before his contract ran out:

Given how long JTG stayed sat on his arse at home, did he sign a contract in that time? How else could he have been under payroll for so long without doing anything? Or did they decide to stop using him at the beginning of a new contract, and that explains the long time they forgot about him before he picked up his phone?

WWE and The Revival are battling for intellectual property rights since it appears The Revival is leaving next month, with AEW looking to be the likely destination. WWE has filed for trademarks on the terms The Mechanics, which was the name they used before the Revival, and the term “No Flips, Just Fists.” The team was trying to get a trademark for the latter term.

You can't put Okada on the front cover of a US magazine and get a boost in sales, where as AJ on the cover you might.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Even though that mag is kayfabe, AJ Styles had a bigger multi-promption 2010s than Okada did. AJ started 2010 has the top guy of TNA and multi time world champ there until he left and popped a bunch of indy fed gates. returned to ROH with a bunch of good matches, helped NJPW break into the US and ROH even more with the Bullet Club as IWGP champion. Then came into WWE as a big deal upper midcard/main eventer with multiple high profile angles, became WWE champ as the star of Smackdown last time people enjoyed it, and has stayed as a focus of WWE as an actual good US champion.

Okada started his decade as a young lion in a promtion most people globally didn't care about, went to TNA as a Green Hornet butler gimmick, returned to NJPW having a bad look and match then got his first IWGP reign which didnt go over well at first. NJPW still wasn't that important outside of Japan or streaming the G1 Climax for $200 on ustream in 2012 and 2013. Around 2014/2015 did NJPW start taking off partnering with US companies and putting AJ Styles against Okada. Then Okada was set as the top guy and NJPW was getting really hot globally for the later half of the decade.
