Sorry but saying that they made a mistake tying Candice to Johnny shows your massive bias. The Way is genuinely super entertaining and it's helped reinvent both of their characters when they were getting stale.

It is still utterly insane that the only real credible babyface the RAW Women's Division has at the moment is Asuka. Rhea, Charlotte, and Alexa are all clear cut heels.

Man, just wait until after Backlash where they'll end up running a bunch of heatless heel vs heel feuds.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

The only women not in tag teams are Asuka, Charlotte, Rhea, Alexa, and Nikki (lol). Everyone else active is in a tag team at the moment. And of the women I listed, only Asuka is a credible babyface. Nikki is a jobber and everyone else are clear cut heels.

She's pretty convincingly a heel after Wrestlemania where she turned on The Fiend. And cut a promo saying she was going to dominate the entire RAW Women's Division, because all of them are mean evil jerks and Lilly wants them all destroyed.

Hell, both Kross and Raquel are massively underwhelming choices as champion right now. Putting aside both of their lovely politics, neither one has set the world on fire since they won the title. Kross has always been disliked by NXT audiences,

I wonder if the dislike for Kross is because he's been put up against Keith Lee and Balor who are all more likeable and charismatic.

Yeah but even then, the primary focus is still on Kross, even if he is bland as gently caress.

Hell, both Kross and Raquel are massively underwhelming choices as champion right now. Putting aside both of their lovely politics, neither one has set the world on fire since they won the title. Kross has always been disliked by NXT audiences, and Raquel has pretty much lost all of her momentum from beating Io because they can't decide on her alignment. She's about to feud with Mercedes Martinez, but it's not a highly anticipated matchup either, and expectations are incredibly low.

Hell, they could have thrown another woman onto the NXT banner at the very least (one that actually wrestles), considering the NXT women's division is incredibly strong. Way more than the men.

Putting Raquel Gonzalez into a programme with Martinez is a pretty good idea - Martinez is a veteran, and a solid hand, and she can probably get something decent out of Gonzalez. But that poo poo should have happened before they put the title on her.

One thing I will give NXT credit is that most of their featured women are in feuds right now. The only ones who aren't are Io Shirai (who is supposedly taking a small break) and Sarray (who just debuted last week).

Being fair, Candice was in NXT for actual years before The Way got started and became the funny act that it is now. And even that is frankly a newer development, because the initial stuff with Theory and the Scream ghosts kinda sucked.

If you base it off the last tournament when they had to scrounge up 8 teams....

Champions:
Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart

Contenders:
Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell
Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter - Feuding with other people
Dakota Kai and Raquel González - Raquel is the Women's Champion
Mercedes Martinez and Toni Storm - Feuding with other people and in NXT UK.

Random Jobber Teams:
Cora Jade and Gigi Dolin
Marina Shafir and Zoey Stark
Aliyah and Jessi Kamea

Toni Storm is officially in NXT US full time, but she's also feuding with Zoey Stark (or maybe Sarray, idk yet) right now. Toni's career in NXT US though has definitely been very...questionable (although I think in this case its less on WWE and more along the lines of Toni has been pretty mediocre at best). Come in, win a couple of matches, turn heel randomly. Win War Games, go on to feud with Io Shirai for the title. Is protected in the triple threat match (Mercedes ate the pin) but then loses to Io via submission in a flat finish a few weeks later. Then a couple of weeks after that, loses to Zoey Stark during the Takeover pre-show. And last week jumped Zoey after her match with Sarray.
