So Apparently Emmalina is Done
And it’s one of WWE’s latest stupid ideas.Apparently the character was supposed to be a callback to the Kat/Sable, as in eye candy who can’t do anything in the ring. Ignoring the fact that WE KNOW EMMA CAN WRESTLE, it really doesn’t work when you look at everything else going on.
I find it a little hard to believe that this can be blamed on Emma. The whole Emmalina character was basically “she’s hot” and that’s about it. When you have Charlotte, Bayley, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks stealing a lot of the shows they’re on (while still wrestling in glorified swimsuits, which are never discussed let alone focused on), a gimmick of someone being good looking really isn’t going to cut it. I have a really hard time blaming this on Emma because it was a stupid gimmick in the first place.
Didn’t this Women’s Revolution originally start with Paige vs Emma on NXT? I always thought it was either that or Natalya vs Charlotte at Takeover
Allegedly it started with the “Give Divas a Chance” thing on Twitter, which was over a Bellas match going all of thirty seconds on TV. I can actually buy that as a possibility but I’d think the NXT women had a lot to do with it as well.
Or we can go with WWE’s line and give Stephanie all the credit.
Heel Emma was already good.
Should have had heel Emma vs. Bayley before giving Bayley the title.
