2. Emma's Being Wasted In NXT

As Emma came out this week for her match with Carmella, it struck me that the former dancing Aussie really deserves to be back on the main roster. Granted, when she went up to RAW a couple of years ago, the pairing with Santino Marella was sudden death for her character as the quirky, fun gimmick she had got lumped with a stale comedy gimmick. She stood no chance of making it work. After a year of floundering on the main roster, she came back to NXT, turned heel and totally revamped her personality. Emma returned to NXT this time last year and she's had a great year down at Full Sail. She turned heel on crowd favourite Bayley, joined forces with Dana Brooke to take her under her wing and recently had a rivalry with the Japanese phenomenon Asuka. As I watched her match with Carmella this week, everything from Emma's entrance to her performance in the match made me realise it's time for her to get back wrestling on RAW and for her start showcasing her talents on a bigger stage. The last time Emma was brought up, there wasn't much thought put into making her gimmick work on the main roster, but with the Divas Revolution and women like Sasha, Paige, Charlotte and Becky ready and willing to tear it up, there's gotta be a spot for Evil Emma, right?
