SirEdger Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 I could be wrong but I believe it was her sister who had that character. She was under developmental contract with WWE at the time and that was her only appearance on WWE TV. She was released shortly afterwards.

Since the roster splits take effect on Monday, this is where the real changes should be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally in Triple H's wheelhouse, in other words. I'm looking forward to Priest vs Bad Bunny, not gonna lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 I'm sure Backlash will be a solid in ring show just seems to be no real stakes at hand. also, as she noted on twitter, Alexa Bliss started in WWE 10 years ago today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 I wouldn't be surprised if it is similar to the Brock vs Cena squash from a few years back. Making this basically a part of Cody's "Hard Times". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisDrakkar Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 I was a the show last night at el Choliseo. Main takeaways:  Karrion Kross really impressed me. The crowd went from not caring much about him to booing him at every cost. All thanks to his mannerisms, expressiveness and the stiffness of the suplexes and the ring post powerbomb. Most of his character work happened in the commercial break and he really got Shinsuke some sympathy with his control segment. Shinsuke did some amazing sells too, especially with the last back drop.  Rey Mysterio's ten count spot and finish were extremely creative... his execution just stands out so much and at 48, he really showed out tonight. Bayley did some amazing work playing to the cheap seats in the dark match afterwards. So many little things: reaching for a desperation tag before an irish whip, the yells and the emoting. Definately got some brownie points if I ever make a GWE ballot.  Cody was made for this crowd. His jab-bionic elbow spot plays into the fua chant so well. More of an emotion than an execution wrestler. He is over af and had a good dark match performance Everyone here agrees that the star last night was Dominik. He had three chances to draw insane heat tonight: the opening, the televised ME, and the dark ME, in which he interfered and stayed in Finn's corner. The third one was the best where he almost got into a fight with someone behind the commentary tables. But the three amigos finish, him being outsmarted because of his hubris was magnificent. My favorite spot was a 3 minute Cobra Twist that Finn had on Cody, which was aided with Dom grabbing Finn's hand for extra leverage and flexing to the crowd for heat. Crowd ate him up. You could make a legit argument that the crowd paid money just to boo Dom and that most of thr Huelebicho, Lambebicho, Mamabicho and Pendejo chants were for him... during the tv ME, Dom got them to chant Huelebicho while Rey was shining... Rey being one of the greatest babyfaces of all time. By William Regal's definition of a great worker, Dominik is something special here in PR in a post-kayfabe WWE.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmo Posted May 7, 2023 Report Share Posted May 7, 2023 I wonder if they will do a kind of Bockwinkel/Lawler southern title deal with the new championship. Have Roman enter the tournament on the SmackDown side and have Cody go over Roman in the finals getting his first pin and a title but Roman still has his belts (maybe with Bloodline interference backfiring). Cody, and the new title, gets credibility of beating Roman to win the title but allows you to continue the feud to WM. Alternatively you could put Solo in the spot for Cody to beat for the title. Have Roman lose it after Solo jobs and challenge Cody on the appt with Cody going over as his first defense.

Dav'oh Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 Man their upper card is so fucking old. Nine of the tourny wrestlers are over forty, five are 45+. Brock's 45, Sami/KO/Roman all nudging 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was under developmental contract with WWE at the time and that was her only appearance on WWE TV. She was released shortly afterwards. Alicia was indeed the wedding planner that Edge cheated on Vickie with in her first main roster appearance in 2008. Her sister wrestled as Caylee Turner, appeared on the 2011 Tough Enough and was in developmental from 2010-2012 but never made the main roster and left wrestling afterwards.  6 hours ago, KawadaSmile said: Rollins/Cody seems like a clear final. The actual final is Raw finalist vs SD finalist (which the title being on RAW seems to make that winner obvious) so the tournament is 2 triple threats and the 2 winners face off on each show, then the 2 winners for the title at Saudi. Rollins/Edge is my guess while Cody rematches Brock since Brock works Saudi shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
