Table For 3 has become a bit of a forgotten gem on the WWE Network. When it launched years ago, it was one of the most watchable shows. In 2019, it's been usurped by wonderful docs like WWE 24, Chronicle and the Untold series. Every now and then though, those dinner dates throw up a little fact or two we didn't know previously.

On the latest episode, Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan sat down for a little chinwag about their time together as the Riott Squad. It was all fairly standard stuff for the most part, then Ruby dropped a minor bombshell: someone in WWE management told her nobody would "know who the Squad is in six weeks", because they'd be separated and recast.

That's faith for you.

Logan backed this up by saying someone also told her they'd be turned into different characters. No wonder the group flopped; WWE's creative minds thought it was a short-term fix to a long-term problem, and they couldn't be arsed putting effort into getting it over.
