I was saying the same for Naomi, but it's been years up to this point on her being relevant again....
and i Love Naomi, but she has been spotty in the WWE for years until now.

It doesn't make sense that she arrives and wins a title. AEW caters to a Smart Mark crowd. So the white girl shows up and pulls the rug from under the black girl??? Cause that didn't cause ANY blowback when WWE did it!
And it isn't that we hate watch it, it's that WWE heads call AEW out for its bullshyt, but then turn a blind eye to some of the same bullshyt when WWE up and steals story ideas. Big Show goes to AEW; 'I can't believe this! This is such a horrible idea...' Bill Goldberg wins the WWE heavyweight title: '...' It just seems odd that WWE heads have such vitriol for AEW (and vice versa) but can never seem to call their own camp out on its bullshyt
WWE Twitter Followers 11.8 million
AEW Twitter Followers 773 thousand….
WWE YouTube subscribers 85 million
AEW YouTube subscribers 2.9 million….
WWE is a brand that has become the default identifier.
Time for me to check out this Stardom ppv before the football games come on.
Cause they've been around the longest! Can you name all the accounts you follow AND keep track of? There are a lot of dudes who followed WWE cause of something that was popular at the moment, but aren't engaged with the account. Hell I had to check and I follow them on both platforms.
Again, it's been around for 50 million years of course people are going to know it by default. AEW has only been around for 3 years.
Twitter hasn't been around for 60 years.
People know of WWE because it is like Kleenex or Xerox. A brand that came to define an industry.
Y'all act like AEW is on the level of WWE, clamoring for your favorite to jump ship. I'm just saying they are not on the same level and if you are a top star in WWE, jumping from WWE to AEW is just beyond dumb.

No AEW is not on the same level, but acting like staying in catering at WWE versus actually doing something in AEW is so much better. Being the "Top Dog" also doesn't mean you're the best product.
Also what brand recognition does Xerox have?!?!
So Bianca is chillin in catering?
Never said it was the best product, just said it is the top promotion and most well known.
Lastly, can’t believe I have to explain this one….
Xerox is a company that specialized in photo/scanning and printing copies…. When people want to copy something, they say “Xerox it”…..
I call out bullshit from both companies. I'm not a WWE or AEW stan like a lot of folks are.
I like some stuff on AEW. I've just never been into the indy-rific stuff and Japanese wrestling obsession that some fans seem to have.
And y'all must have a different definition of "mainstream". My test for something being mainstream is "Have my parents heard of it?"
I know my parents have never heard of AEW. If you polled a random group of people on the street, maybe 10% even know what AEW is.
Yes, hardcore wrestling fans think their beloved product is mainstream because Shaq and Rosario Dawson popped up as a Turner cross-promotion. That doesn't make it "mainstream" though.
Twitter was created in 2006.
WWE joined Twitter in 2007.
AEW joined Twitter in 2019.
From a social media presence WWE has a 12 year head start over AEW.
WWE was created in 1980
AEW was created in 2019
From a business and visibility standpoint WWE has a 39 year head start over AEW.
If popularity is most important to Bianca then by all means she should stay in the WWE. If she's looking for something more then there's other options out there.
I was being slightly facetious with the Xerox thing, but nobody says "Xerox it..." anymore. I am old enough to remember the phrase, but Xerox doesn't carry the same weight anymore! "Copy it..." or "...make some copies..." Off course of the topic, sorry!
No Bianca isn't chilling in catering...yet! We have seen this same rise and fall with black WWE superstars. Drop the belt/lose a feud to their white counterpart, no rematch or a rematch clouded with other wrestlers, mid-card hell and then show up as "surprise" entrants in Royal Rumbles. Aleister Black was in catering for a long time, sorry he wasn't in catering. He was in a closet...waiting for a fight.
Although you don't hear it as vocally, there are people who clamor for certain performers to go to WWE since it is the bigger stage. MJF is aname I often hear thrown out.
If you notice, most of the talent released from WWE who end up on AEW are the ones who are hardcore wrestlers and love the technical aspect of it and want the creative freedom to do their own thing. I think it was like 14 out of the 70+ wrestlers released went to AEW. Besides Ali, I think most of the WWE talent there buy into Vince's vision of sports entertainment and are happy. Bianca ain't jumping to AEW because she's not a wrestler wrestler. She was an athlete who grew up watching WWE and is now fulfilling her dream.

Have your parents heard of Bitcoin?!?! Does them knowing about it make it mainstream or not?!?! Technically, my pops has never heard of WWE, he still thinks it is WWF!
My grandmother couldn't pick Ironman out of a police linuep with the FCUKING HERCULOIDS!!! But she knows who Spiderman is. Who has been more mainstream over the last 20years?
AEW has been "mainstream" enough for Vince to declare a Tuesday Night War and lose it within a year. Ya'll try an write AEW off on some kid brother type shyt and that is not the case at all.

MJF wouldn't work in the current system of WWE. He is not family friendly. Truth be told, he was in WWE/NXT for a minute but they did nothing with him. But all of a sudden he needs to be in WWE?
Current plans is for Ronda to face Charlotte at this years Wrestlemania. She will be a regular on Smackdown meaning she will wrestle on tv episodes aswell
WWE also plan to do Becky vs Ronda at mania 2023. Her deal is basically for her to do 2 manias and she will most likely be gone by post mania 2023
Meltzer also said Ronda looked “not good at all” in the rumble despite “lots of rehearsals”.
“She didn’t do anything to show she’s was star in fact the opposite”
“She was very different then she was before, if she’s performing like that at mania the people will turn”

Meltzer is SUPER biased! I am not a fan of Ronda either but I have different reasons than him.
MJF has never been signed to WWE/NXT. WWE/NXT has always used indy talent to play security guards/backstage hands.MJF wouldn't work in the current system of WWE. He is not family friendly. Truth be told, he was in WWE/NXT for a minute but they did nothing with him. But all of a sudden he needs to be in WWE?
That's all this was.
Lolz at "Truth be told"..... yet lying about him being at WWE/NXT for a minute...
Of course she didn't look good. She's been out of action for 2 years yet let's stick her against Charlotte at Wrestlemania.
So was he paid by WWE or not? Did that deposit come from WWE or not? Yes signed as an on TV talent no, but and I can't believe I have to do THIS to you cause you are very big in pointing out what one types and what one reads. I never said he was SIGNED to WWE/NXT. As you quoted my post I said "he was in WWE/NXT" CLEARLY by my photo, he is IN NXT so am I REALLY lying about him? Yes, my statement is misleading as fcuk, but I HAVE to do this to you!

Meltzer hates WWE even more than you guys. Always has. LOL
Kind of hard to show what you've got in one night in a battle royal.
WWE brought Ronda back because she's a mainstream (there goes that word again) star, not because she's a wrestling technician.
That's Meltzer's problem. He thinks every wrestler has to have the skill of his favorite Japanese performers that do a million moves and don't sell shit.
Lol
Actually, my parents have heard of Bitcoin (although like many they can't explain exactly what it is) and have heard of Spiderman and Ironman.
Your pops still knows the company currently known as WWE even if he doesn't know they changed their name 20 years ago and who's currently on the roster.
Some things are just engrained in society.
Maybe AEW will become mainstream in 40 years (if they're still around), but they're far from it now.
Bryan Danielson left. He's the equivalent to an NFL players leaving for the CFL.
I stand corrected. That's one.
All the other WWE castoffs that left to AEW were lower to midcard talents.
That's the craziest shit to me. I know a lot of viewership they have is people hating on them but still tuning in and be the reason they trend. Makes no sense lol. Shit I dislike I don't pay it any mind.
