WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Oct 9)
7. Nothing But The Clothes On Her Back
Speaking of that sweet sweet merchandise coin, Alicia Fox shared a rather heartbreaking revelation on Lilian Garcia's 'Chasing Glory' podcast recently, noting that she'd never even had a t-shirt made in her image after over a decade as a main roster star. In conversation, the pair even commented that WWE fans probably still didn't know Fox all that well despite her ever-presence on the show.
It's easy to be sympathetic to Alicia's cause. Just one of John Laurinaitis' cast of thousands during the woeful 'Athletic 10s' recruitment period that made up the better part of the last decade, she then fell behind the new crop of in-ring super-workers that migrated from Triple H's NXT.
She's persisted in her efforts to be everything the company wants her to be, from playing an adulterous wedding planner, to tipping soda on her head and getting kicked all over as the token jobber on Team Bella. Somewhere, there'll be the biggest Fox fan in the world, and not a single shirt adorns her image for that supporter to endorse her with.
How did the company respond to a reasonable request from a long-standing talent? Obviously, they wrote it into the show.
