All-Purpose News Thread Part III

AOP and Alexander I get... I really like Davenport and DeVille, but the WWE women's division is stacked. I do think Sonya can excel on the indies or in TNA, she can talk and work.

AOP meh.
Alexander goes to AEW and joins the hurt business. Maybe starts in ROH.
Sonya goes to either AEW or TNA
Priestly probably Japan.

Gallows and Anderson probably have their pick of AEW/NJPW/TNA.

I am wondering if they go to TNA (any of them) how does that affect the relationship if at all

I would not be surprised if the plan was to "dump" them into TNA, see if they can become better or bigger there, do some crossover stories to gauge the crowd reactions and then possibly bring them back.

KO has re-signed with WWE for 5 more years.

I feel like Kevin Owens re-signs for 5 years like every 6 months

Sonya felt like she had a place there.

Isla Dawn cut sucks for Alba Fyre, but if they give her a chance, I’m confident she can move up the card.

The only loss there is Isla Dawn, felt she had a unique look and personality.

The rest? Good riddance.

I don't disagree...

In hindsight, Isla Dawn "corrupting" Alba Fyre at NXT killed her singles push. But she got some joy from winning the tag titles in front of her home crowd after her mother's death.

Via 411Mania (originally Fightful Select):

* Karl Anderson is still injured and will be out for 3-6 months before he can get cleared. Anderson is said to be “in good spirits.” Releasing talent while they are hurt is reportedly unusual for WWE.

* Blair Davenport had been considered for a role with Piper Niven and Chelsea Green. She was brought to TV and the idea was pitched to her. A secret service outfit was being prepared before her release, but was delayed. This all happened around the Royal Rumble. There had previously been reports about the company wantign to use her more, but she hadn’t been discussed for plans in November, December and early January.

* Some in NXT think that the releases are part of plans to call up several new wrestlers to the main roster this year.

There are those tiffany stratton rumours, who knows

And pretty hefty cuts, but damn dude, Isla Dawn was just long term womans tag champ, to just having random nxt cameos, to being gone? Thats crazy, only real mistake from this group IMO.
