Emmalina — Repackage Nixed After Rehearsals Failed To Impress Backstage Officials

Source: prowrestlingsheet.com

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned there were big plans for the Emmalina character … but after multiple rehearsals, producers realized she couldn’t pull off what they were looking to accomplish.


Sources tell us Emmalina was intended to be a throwback to characters like Sable and The Kat — however, delays were caused after officials felt like she wasn’t committing enough to the role and ultimately they decided to just let Emma be evil again.

We’re told producers are still big fans of the character’s concept though — which is why they held hope it would work out — so it’s always possible that they’ll hold onto it for another female in the future.

In case you missed it, the wrestler re-appeared on Raw last night and said her makeover was complete … and she’ll now be undergoing a makeover back to Emma.

Guess we’ll always have the vignette memories.

well, it sounded terrible to begin with and if Sable/Kat was what they were shooting for, thank god they nixed the idea. Give it to Summer Rae or Eva

Brodus Clay was one of the biggest middle fingers of the entire generation.

Give it to Eva. Summer has a much better acting range than that. Summer should be the female Miz where she is the trash-talking heel who thinks she's a lot better than she actually is and always winds up getting humiliated.

Also... did they really think another Sable was a good idea now that we've had our Divas' Women's Revolution (all glory be to Stephanie, without whom women would never have been allowed to leave the kitchen)?

Obviously and absolutely. Though I'm not sure what to believe ...At first it says she wasn't capable of what they'd need...Then it says she wasn't committed enough to the role.

Though, it does produce the question of where does heel Emma fit in on RAW?

Going against Bailey?

Charlotte's new protege /eventually splitting v Dana and eventually Charlotte?

that's my biggest worry, if there's something we've seen is that RAW is fixated with only pushing 3 girls and Nia because Rock's cousin and big, but the rest are completely irrelevant. I love Evil Emma, but I think she should chase the title in Smackdown either against Becky or Alexa

I'm Still not entirely sold on Nia Jax and can't wait to see Sasha take her down.

that's the only reason i care for her, to be a monster heel for Sasha and Bayley and Becky to take out. I already saw that story in NXT, so i can't say i'm super excited right now

Exactly, it's been done before already. Sometimes it's like they don't care that we already saw literally some of the same stuff in NXT.

Nia only feuded with Bayley. Nia vs. Sasha is still a fresh match-up.

You might be right, but I'm somewhat sure I've seen her give in to the Bank Statement.

It's definitely coming. I imagine she'll cost Sasha something sooner than later to further it.

Plus the awaited revenge for (I believe) injuring her knee.

being so close to wrestlemania, Nia should wait for Charlotte to win at the PPV, Sasha to interfere, come out and decimate all three of them
