10 Wrestlers Who Have Had Enough Of WWE's Sh*t

Toni Storm and Liv Morgan's countout win over Carmella and Zelina Vega on last week's episode of SmackDown was the New Zealander's first match since 23 July. Touted as a hot babyface prospect through vignettes, Storm beat Zelina Vega that night, seemingly setting her up for a propulsiveness main roster run, only to vanish immediately.

Creative, it seemed, had nothing for Storm for the best part of two months. That she returned last week is a good sign, of course, but teaming with Morgan to eke out the narrowest of "victories" over two of the division's lowest-ranked wrestlers isn't exactly a rocket push.

And the bout was done for Liv, who faces Carmella at Extreme Rules 2021 this weekend. Storm was peripheral.

It's hard to feel great about her prospects on a show that for all its recent plaudits, hasn't done a good job of building the women's division's middle tier. WWE has demonstrated nothing yet that suggests they have a clue what to do with this potential all-star babyface.
