Yeah it was a magical girl inspired gimmick like Sailor Moon.

She teamed up with Chase U one match and they transformed with her. It was pretty funny
I did see that, that was actually pretty cool.

I saw this

Vince McMahon plans to unload a big chunk of his shares in WWE parent TKO

McMahon intends to sell 8.4 million of his shares, TKO said in a release Thursday. He owned more than 28 million shares as of August, according to a regulatory filing.

TKO’s stock fell 5% after the closing bell Thursday.

The move could be an indication that McMahon plans to get out of his family business.

His ownership of those stocks and the fact he can dump them without warning is a big reason the TKO stock hasn't been doing well.

Would not shocked me if this is the start of him being forced out for good

I also think everyone involved knew this before the sale and the conspiracy theory that the sale was a 5D chess move to get him back in charge of creative was nonsense.

It was, but apparently it's not that uncommon for alumni pages to get small updates. JR'S was recently as well.

It's basically down to whether you believe SRS who is adamant he isn't coming, or BWE who has stuck to his guns that there is a very good chance it's happening.

Dave seems to have retreated to "anything can happen" land I imagine because he doesn't want to get yelled at by either side of this.

I feel like there's no way to say this without it sounding bad but... I don't know if it's on the talent end or the creative end, but WWE's Asian female wrestlers seem very cookie cutter.

Like, Asuka stands out, but Iyo, Kairi, Xia Li... All seem essentially the same. Mia Yim stands out just because she's built like a truck and has blue hair.

There's just very few ways to differentiate yourself. When you look at Kairi, Iyo and Asuka - It's the same style ring attire (aside from Iyo in NXT for a while) - They have to really, really get you with their charisma and in ring ability. Even with Sarray her in ring gear was near identical to the others. (Yes, I understand that's more of their traditional ring attire)

The worst thing they could have done with Asuka was to have her dance around like the Gobbeldy Gooker - She should be a stone cold killer.

That said, Auska is head and shoulders above them in terms of presence. I think her and Iyo are fine, but yeah, It's super tough to get over.

NXT heal Iyo was great, all black, great theme. Really a shame how they ruin great presentation on the main roster. So many examples like not using rebel heart etc..

This has been explained several times before but WWE has moved away from CFO$ themes because there was a whole mess with them re: their producers getting all the royalties and then eventually splitting up, despite WWE trying to sign them as an in-house music producer. It was/is a giant mess and WWE took CFO$'s side by dropping the music they made.

Rumor apparently is that Raw could be headed to FX, which also would come with a change in day I believe
