8 Wrestlers Who Couldn't Wait To Ditch Their WWE Gimmicks After Leaving

8. Emma

Though WWE's women's divisions have been stronger than ever in recent years, it is fair to say the company hasn't always placed female wrestlers at the top of its list of priorities. However, during the dark period prior to the revolution, one of the leading lights of the women's ranks was Emma.

After an injury sidelined her in 2016, a plan was hatched to repackage the Australian with a new gimmick with a series of vignettes produced to hype the arrival of Emmalina, a stunning diva character reminiscent of the likes of Sable and The Kat.

Ultimately though, the rebrand would not work out as planned, and when Emma finally did return to regular action it was under her former persona, and she would be released less than a year later. Unsurprisingly, since her release Emma is yet to reprise the Emmalina character, which is honestly probably for the best.
