8 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Jan 27)

5. Emmalina Is Still In Wardrobe

Emma's makeover to Emmalina has been in the works since October 3.

That's over three months of effectively the same vignette. On that same date, TJ Perkins was still relevant. Current Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann lost a sub-five minute match against Tony Nese. Rusev hadn't yet declared his hundred years war with Enzo and Big Cass. In the time since, Donald Trump has been elected President Of The United States. George Michael has died. Carrie Fisher has died. All the while, poor Emmalina has been frozen in time, banished for eternity in some unknown dressing room.

What's even crazier is that she looked nice enough beforehand. How long does a makeover take? We've already been treated to a catalogue of "after" photos, on about eight hundred episodes of Monday Night RAW, so hasn't it, like, already happened?

At this point, it would be no surprise if, next Monday, Emmalina bounded out to the ring, announced by Ernest Miller's old Somebody Call My Momma theme, flanked by a woman who once cited Melina Vs. Alicia Fox as the greatest match in the history of professional wrestling.

It's almost - almost - as if the RAW creative team has no what it's doing.
