I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

In slight bummer news depending on your beliefs, referee Drake Wuertz (Younger) is retweeting Pro-Trump accounts.

Edit: It's also kinda news because you rarely see stuff like that one way or another form anyone under WWE contract

Is it really shocking that Drake is conservative since he's a pretty big Born Again Christian IIRC?

He's from Indianapolis, which is one of the few places in Indiana that still leans blue, but it's not that much of a surprise. Probably scores him a few points with those in charge, too.

That is the developmental process that NXT uses. Many wrestlers will show up for a couple of matches as a jobber/fill a gap in the schedule or try a new gimmick, and then disappear again. And then they use that feedback to develop the wrestler further, and then bring them back for a longer tv run. For example: Aliyah is someone who is a step ahead of that process than Daria, Liv Morgan is a step ahead of Aliyah, and Billy/Peyton are a step ahead of Liv. It's just less noticeable lately since they have been using more indie stars who start towards the end of the developmental process.

Daria has also been doing some touring shows recently so I'd say she's fairly highly thought of. It might also be a case of them wanting a break between doing job duty on TV and doing a proper debut.

Yeah, the women's division has stuff going on, if Daria develops well she can be someone you make look dominant, and the current plots don't allow another woman to do that right now.

turn it all around

I can't imagine Ember wins the shot next week, because it feels like they'd save Asuka/Ember for Mania weekend. Maybe a Peyton win after turning on Billie?

Wait... now I can't remember? Is it Peyton/Billie/Ember or Peyton/Liv/Ember?

My hypothesis is that Daria doesn't look enough like a Mortal Kombat character so they have to rework her gimmick a bit.

It's Liv.

I could see either Peyton or Liv as the winner there for a transitional feud until Mania. Ember or Nikki has to be the Takeover match.

or dont whatever








Have they actually started putting Ember on TV (frequently) or are we just still assuming she's the credible opponent in waiting based on... having debut vignettes? Seems like we've been assuming they're, "saving Ember" for something down the road for quite a long time now despite not being showcased at all on TV or Takeovers.

So she has started to be on TV since the last Takeover then, around when Asuka asked her if she actually worked in NXT

edit: never mind I see her here and there in recaps before that as well

I really enjoyed Ember as Athena on the indies, but I feel like she hasn't yet been paired up with an opponent that can really show how deep her in-ring skills are. As to her character, I feel like she has the same problem as Finn Balor - she looks like a killer coming down the ramp, but doesn't show that in her mannerisms or moves in the ring. Asuka is somewhat a counterpoint - her entrance makes her look like a next level badass, but she shows it in each in-ring performance too.
