10 Big WWE Returns That Could Happen In 2020
5. Emma
Beyond reasons of personal and professional misconduct, WWE these days only brings out their broom for no-name NXT trainees, as they seek to ensure a complete stranglehold on as much of the talent and potential in the industry as possible. With emerging competition yet a kitty bursting at the seems, the company are quite happy to waste money out of pure spite.
WWE's dragnet was first cast long before the initialism 'AEW' was on anybody's lips, a response to the burgeoning independent scene and in particular, the rebirth of BritWres in 2016. So you have to have sympathy for Tenille 'Emma' Dashwood, pretty much the last major star to be future endeavour'd to company rivals in the final phase of aggressive monopoly.
What motivated Emma's sudden release, coming just as she entered a programme with Asuka, has yet to be demystified. In the two years since, her career has frequently stalled, owing to a number of unfortunate medical issues, though the Australian seems to have landed on her feet in IMPACT.
Will the Anthem group still exist this time next year? Probably: the promotion is somehow indestructible. But will they still be able to afford Dashwood's services? Perhaps not. Despite an All Out cameo, AEW curiously passed up on the chance to snag the former Emmalina, which rather suggests Jacksonville won't be her next destination. Instead, it could be NXT - needing star power now more than ever - who offer the woman who helped kick-start a Revolution an olive branch.
