You have to feel for any of the stars being brought into the WWE, and wrestling landscape as a whole, via the NXT 2.0 route as of late. Instead of being given a few months to hone their skills under the radar in independent promotions or behind-closed-doors showcases, it feels like more and more potentially outstanding athletes and workers are being thrown straight into the deep end on national TV... with some paddling better than others.

In the case of Tiffany Stratton, the long-awaited "Daddy's Girl" of 2.0, an otherwise solid enough first night on the job sadly had the shine taken off it by an awkward botch on the back end of an impressive set of gymnastic flips into a corner clothesline.

When you're only given a few minutes to "get your stuff in" on this sort of stage, fans do have a habit of latching onto the negatives and boos weren't far away following on from this match-ending c*ck-up. A limp flatliner would seal the deal, but the very much green Stratton can at least boast her first notch in the "W" column and definitely possesses enough raw charisma to be classed as "one-to-watch".

It's just a shame night one didn't go off as her paps would've likely intended....
