Every WWE NXT Call-Up In 2017: Ranked From Worst To Best
8. Sonya Deville & Mandy Rose
Like The Riott Squad on SmackDown, Absolution haven't been around long enough to pass meaningful judgment. This makes it impossible to place them any higher, though they've made a stronger start than their blue brand counterparts, and not just because they arrived first.
Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose benefit immensely from being positioned alongside Paige. Both are full of promise, but they're unknown quantities, and aligning with the former Divas Champion gave fans a reason to get invested in them from day one. Their lifeless second week promo suggests both still have a few rough edges to work out, though.
Absolution have been highly effective in cutting through the Raw women's roster, with Sasha Banks, Bayley, Mickie James, and Alexa Bliss all taking beatings. They've teased confrontations with Asuka, the division's new alpha, but have pulled out every time.
Regardless, it looks like we'll soon see Absolution involved in a big trios match with Banks, Bayley, and James before long. Deville and Rose will be working with the best of the best from day one, which bodes exceptionally well for their ongoing development.
