“ She did mention how he mentioned they may use her in the future, saying she was told ‘WWE’s a revolving door”. She cited Jinder Mahal being released, then being brought back and becoming WWE Champion.”

Lol.... yeah, that will happen. Look at Jinder Mahal for inspiration

Apollo is going all in on this gimmick which made me realize for the first time he has such a strong voice and ability to deliver an aggressive promo, I don't even think his accent is offensive, it's just....Everything else about the gimmick, especially because it's happening in the WWE which has a long history of racism. Like someone either just saw Black Panther, Resident Evil 5, or the Ugandan Knuckles meme and gave it to Apollo

I don't think it's on peacock, it was on the network before, I do wonder if they'll port it over. It's such a searing indictment of the company and it just ages amazingly as you see how they still haven't given her any direction creatively

Bit late on this but I read about how Dunn didn't "get" Billie Kay and it doesn't completely shock me at all, given that Sable was literally Dunn's idea of what WWE's ideal woman should be, and since Billie is not blonde and speaks with an Australian accent, she was pretty much doomed from the start

Stark contrast with Abadon who is acknowledged as a normal person, but whose commitment to the bit is deeply distressing.

That just reminds me that they had three attractive, charismatic and athletic (though YMMV when it comes to opinions on how good each of them was in the ring individually) Australian women, and yet because Bucky Beaver there has Vince's ear and doesn't think anyone that isn't a Real Doll come to life is worth pushing, they basically hosed up with all three of them and ended up letting them go
