Brysynner Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Logically it makes sense for the NXT 3 to want to attack Charlotte but they’re smart enough to realize that if they attack her first then they will have to contend with Becky and Naomi. So they hanged up on Naomi first. Becky, being the brave dumb Babyface she is went after the three by herself and now with Charlotte’s two friends out, the face of the WWE women’s division was exposed with no one to help her. The thing that made no sense to me was, where was Carmella? The Champ was systematically destroyed and the MITB holder was nowhere in sight even after the three left? The logical answer was she was still in a medical facility after she repeatedly slapped Asuka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorceressKnight Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 1 hour ago, nofuture said: Definitely, the Iconic Duo are the foundation of the NXT women's division right now and are pretty much doing the same job as Bayley when she got left behind when the Horsewomen got called up. Once a few more heels are built up, they'll get called up. That's the whole question though. It's clear that the Iconic Duo will be the lynchpin heels of the NXT Women and are doing the same job- likely alongside Ember and Nikki Cross as a new ":Four Horsewomen" for NXT to build around. The only problem, though, is it's Full Sail. We already saw it over the few weeks before Takeover when it was already a weird match- three faces in the match and one heel in Peyton Royce...but all the signs before that seemed to make it clear that Peyton had the fans' sympathy and people wanted her to win the big one to reward the Iconic Duo for being the most unsung heroes of NXT last year. Now, with the callups of the last two days, it's arguable that in 96 hours, even though the Iconic Duo are the biggest heels on NXT, they may have just become the two most sympathetic figures on NXT at this moment by the title loss (with it being close to "she had her if not for a botch by Sane" there) and being passed over for two roles that'd fit them like a glove. Full Sail is so savvy and smart to these things, I'd gather there's a non-zero chance Full Sail turns them face on the 11/29 tapings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The B-Show now has their very own B-Paige. Jesus Christ guys, did you have to have them stand in the same brunette/goth/blonde formation too? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could picture Paige cutting herself while listening to Joy Division, while Ruby will get drunk; listen to Black Flag, The Misfits, The Circle Jerks, Bad Brains; and maybe get into a fight. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's also not, I guess, a nightmare behind the scenes. O it's likely this is them covering their bases. If Paige screws up, they can just say Ruby set the whole thing up and it's a dual brand invasion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 The Smackdown girls have very different gimmicks than the RAW girls, but, hey - same hair color so they’re automatically the same! Internet logic. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Just watched the AJ promo segment. I'm so happy he's finally receiving the credit he's deserved for a long time. Heyman was absolutely right, AJ is one of the GOATs. As for Liv Morgan being called up, no she isn't good right now but she's been in development for a while. It's time for her to sink or swim.

Niners Fan in CT Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 You almost gotta look at NXT and the call up system like an expansion draft in the NFL. Hunter probably has a few people each time that he can "protect" for the brand's sake and the rest are free to go. Vince makes the final decisions but I'd bet Hunter is in the room saying "we really need to keep the Iconic Duo for a while longer.." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mae Young Classic helps because bunch of talent on that they can bring up while they have Moon vs Royce for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuntmanCrowley Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 No matter how much they try, they seemingly cannot dim Rusev's star or destroy his enthusiasm. I echo the sentiment, Rusev is a national treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 NXT didn't lose that much from its women's division. Mandy Rose has barely been on TV, and Liv and Logan have basically been jobbers. Sonya and Ruby are the only two that will need to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I said it when she debuted in NXT, and it still rings true now, but man, it brings a tear to my eye to see our hometown girl, waitress, and wrestler Dori/Ruby get called up to SDL. She's living the fucking dream and that's AWESOME. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
