I am sure you've been following her program with Sasha Banks which never got a payoff.
Fuck you're a condescending piece of shit. You start with a false assumption in that she could have been as good or effective in her role as John Cena, which is ludicrous, so of course you're not going to be convinced by reason.

It takes a certain amount of talent to pull it off. But that's not the same amount of talent as it takes to be the tippy-top worker that appeals to people at such a visceral level. Bayley got over in NXT in front of a certain type of fan because he was produced a certain way and got a great story laid out for her.

They absolutely could have and should have done a better job with Bayley. But that's not synonymous with saying that she had the skills as a worker, in and out of the ring, to cultivate the general WWE audience the same way she did in NXT. You absolutely can put part of the "blame" on her, and criticize lazy storytelling.

Which is pretty much what #1-wwf-fan said...

Kenny Omega's status is apparently still up in the air, but I would imagine that if Cody and the Bucks are signing, the rest of their friend group will probably follow suit as they’ve pledged to stay together.

I’ll believe it when I see it, but Khan has billions and if he’s serious, this could be interesting.
I hope this is true. If there were ever a chance for someone to start a new wrestling promotion, it is now. If it does air on AXS and it gets some attention, this could also be good for New Japan, who I hope work with them.
