It's hard to believe now that once-upon-a-time Bobby Roode was just the lovely forgettable part of a TNA tag team.

Pretty sure she has fake boobs or at least did at one point when she was doing the IFBB stuff.

The longer Asuka goes undefeated the bigger of a problem it's gonna be unless they sign some super-indy prospect or Joshi to take the title off her. :v:

Sign Hojo pls

They've kind of got this massive crop of new women right now while not really doing anything with them. Asuka's firmly on top with the gap left by Bayley/Alexa/Nia's departures, but they should've used the last several months building up Billie and Peyton too (which they sort of have with the former, but not by much). Ember just debuted, Liv is still really green, and then off the top of my head there's Aliyah, Santana, Deonna, Nikki, Mandy, Daria, Rachel, and they keep signing more. It's a good future crop, but there are so many people on the roster that most of them won't get TV time unless the format changes toward the next Takeover.

What I do like is that for all but the title scene, NXT's undercard has felt a bit more like developmental again recently, the way it did before and during the first few Takeovers.

If she still does, they seem appropriate for her body type and size so I doubt they even register to the people who care about that sort of thing.

he knows..

I think they need to be hiring more of these kinds of women because so many of the current WWE/NXT women are sooo sloppy and I assume some (not all) of it is due to them not being all that high caliber athletes.

Alexa's shoot height is somewhere between 4'10" and 4'11". Fake boobs on her would look ridiculous

wait isn't 4"10' the legal height to be considered a dwarf?

Is Alexa Bliss legally a dwarf???

I'm driving with my mind!
I'd say she's more 5'0" if not 5'1". Either way, she's above dwarf height. I would believe if she was a legit dwarf, there would be health problems or at the very least problems with her mobility. There are accomplished dwarf gymnasts, even Olympians, but I doubt she could keep such a thing secret if she were legitimately one.

Any word on how many women will be in the tournament? It'd be nice to see them try to find 32 women to keep it on par with the CWC.

Not necessarily. Being dwarf-height and having dwarfism is not necessarily the same thing. If she was an actual dwarf there'd be proportional issues, but I've heard of 4'11-ish adults who don't technically have dwarfism.

or dont whatever








I forget, was there a kayfabe or otherwise reason as to why the CWC didn't have anyone from the main roster, and only 2 people from NXT despite plenty meeting the weight restriction? I ask this since you could argue the main roster is all fighting for the heavyweight championship, but you couldn't really say that for a women's tournament. In general I'm sure the reason is to elevate new stars people might not know, even if everyone watching the CWC probably knows Gargano & Ciampa.

Technically Swann is also from NXT, despite having I think one tv appearance 6 months ago. The point was to bring in new people and get them known before the Cruiserweight division starts on Raw. If they just brought in, say, Jack Gallagher and had him wrestle Neville people would just wonder who this Vaudevillain looking jobber is, whereas now they can say "oh he's the guy who got to the third round of the CWC, here's some clips" and people suddenly (theoretically) care about the match. They've already got that recognition for the Raw and NXT guys, so they don't need them to be in the CWC.
