a reverse rumble is much better imo

I don't really care about the men's rumble either so there's that.

You’ve got 20 main roster if you run literally everyone bar the champions plus 10 NXT/MYC surprises and legends, that might just about stretch to a full sized rumble but then you also have to deal with an hour of mediocre brawling and entrants as crowd-enthusing as Lana and Dana and elimination spots that are harder to pull off due to everyone being half a foot shorter. On the same show as the exact same match but better and more over. Gonna be hard to make work. If you shortened the intervals to a minute and did 20 entrants it would make for a better match but mark it as lesser than the men’s event.

Do they even have the bodies for 30 women? Here's the current main roster

Raw:

Alexa Bliss (champ)
Asuka
Sasha Banks
Bayley
Nia Jax
Mickie James
Alicia Fox
Dana Brooke
Paige
Mandy Rose
Sonya Deville

Smackdown:

Charlotte (champ)
Natalya
Naomi
Becky Lynch
Carmella
Tamina
Lana
Ruby Riot
Sarah Logan
Liv Morgan

NXT

Ember Moon (champ)
Kairi Sane
Nikki Cross
Peyton Royce
Billie Kay
Bianca Belair
... Lacey Evans?
... uhh, Aliyah?



I guess you could throw in Trish/Victoria/Madusa/whoever for a nostalgia pop, and maybe call in some of the notable MYC people (Shayna/Abbey Laith/Dakota Kai etc). But man is that match a lot of dead space.

even Stardom avoids battle royals because it makes everyone look bad. Aimless brawling makes everyone looks putzy.

It's a shame WWE isn't higher on Abbey Laith. I think she'd do quite well on either brand.

WWE signed her with the intention of using her strongly and using her above Ruby Riot. The issue is with her largely.

Was unintentional but her look has regressed a lot the last year which shouldn't really happen while under contract:

I don't understand those people who pretend otherwise and screech at you saying looks/weight doesn't matter to the freaking WWE. If that was true why did she and everyone else diet down for their WWE tryout and before NXT?

Also between her tan and gear she now has the worst NXT look since Solomon Crowe. She isn't exactly main roster ready currently. If they do push her with this look in NXT or to WWE then I am wrong and will reassess what matters to WWE.

Yeah, I've seen the comments about her in this thread. Given how quickly Riot was called up in comparison, it made me think about her not even being on NXT TV. If body type can't be helped, would a change in gear help improve her chances of being better regarded?

Who thinks WWE doesn't care about looks? They give a huge deal about them. The only people who are currently not matchstick thin are legacies.

Considering the body diversity on the indies vs NXT/WWE there is absolutely an athletic build look requirement by WWE.

Same. Speaking of the TV tapings, I think the only advertised match is Kairi Sane vs Peyton Royce. It'll be a solid match, but its not one that Peyton should win. (or at least win clean. If she does win, it should be through interference.)

I'm arguing it. Vince doesn't care about weightlooks, at all. If he did then he would show a great Deal more proof, but hasn't done so just yet. time will tell who is correct

Vince absolutely cares, but if you show value in other ways he can overlook a bad body. There's tons of enormous fat guys he's pushed on the basis of their size, it took him forever to warm up to Foley, and Owens continues to be the exception to the rule. He'll never love them like he loves someone like Cena but he'll find some value in them.
