7 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 14)

8. Can Emma(lina) Debut Already

Any red-blooded man viewing the photos of Emmalina certainly must be a fan of hers already, but the weeks-long photo shoots promising that she’ll be “premiering soon” have worn thin.

Once upon a time, Emma was a goofy babyface who loved dancing awkwardly and popping bubbles. A second turn in NXT saw her find a meaner, more serious persona that worked much better. An unfortunate injury has kept her on the sidelines for months now, and it appears that it has resulted in jettisoning her serious persona for that of a model, as the weeks of photos would seem to indicate.

Either way, Raw could use a talented performer back on television, so could we change the “premiering soon” to a date certain and get Emma(lina) back? The photos are appealing, but they aren’t building anticipation, at least not the right kind of anticipation.
