10 Candidates For WWE’s Next Bizarre Push

2. Alicia Fox

The hysterical crazy woman who screams all the time has endured as a residual layover from the Divas era and, without developing her character or improving as a worker, remains a constantly annoying presence on WWE television.

What WWE sees in Fox remains a mystery, though a man as exaggerated as Vince McMahon likely confuses bluster with talent. Fox does not transmit insanity: her screeching and tantrum-throwing comes across as petulance, which doesn't generate heat because there's no sense that she could go off the rails at any point. She just loses frequently because she's not very good in storylines at wrestling. Regardless, somebody likes her, and since she is a veteran, at least nominally, you half-expect to Alicia to act as Ronda Rousey's gatekeeper once Stephanie nurses a storyline broken arm. Perhaps Fox, a wrestler with a terrible win/loss record, will take offence at Rousey's push, screech about it, and then lose again. Rousey's star power and salary almost necessitates such a sizeable building block push. Fox may be the unnecessary beneficiary of it.

Could Fox have much to reasonably complain about?

Rousey, at least, has double the facial expressions Fox possesses, and she's appeared live on WWE TV about five times.
