We recently noted via PWInsider and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Leva “Blue Pants” Bates was likely done with WWE NXT after catching some backstage heat. The reports were that Blue Pants had heat for how over she got herself and for making comments about being more over than other talents. It was also noted that WWE officials kept using her because they knew she would get a big pop at “Takeover: Brooklyn” as the mystery partner for The Vaudevillains but once Alexa Bliss beat Blue Pants, that was supposed to be the end of her run.

I was told by a very well-placed NXT source today that Blue Pants didn’t get the heat because of how over she was, but because there was a feeling that she did not appreciate the spot she had. She was often seen on her phone at and during NXT TV tapings, apparently not paying attention to what was going on.

There was also an incident during SummerSlam weekend in Brooklyn where Blue Pants became intoxicated in public. Following the SummerSlam pay-per-view, Blue Pants reportedly drank too much at an outing and acted highly inappropriate. There were WWE Corporate employees from Stamford at the gathering and her behavior did not go over well. This incident led to her missing the flight back to Florida the next morning with the rest of the crew.

I keep forgetting that the Vaudevillans are the tag champs. Not putting the belts on Colin & Enzo in Brooklyn seems like such a terrible idea in hindsight.

it's pretty stupid that they're expecting her to act a certain way when they haven't signed her at all. Like, what the hell does she need to pay attention to during the show?

Isn't that what you're supposed to do as a "student?" And I thought WWE considers everyone in NXT to be "students" (maybe not Rhyno).

I really entirely forgot about their entire fuckin' existence.

Literally.

Yea, but as they said, she wasn't signed. I don't see why they didn't just send out one of their thirty ladies from down under to face Carmela in her debut.

You're doing business with motha fuckers in any capacity you act a certain way-it don't mean shit if you're officially contracted or not. "Yeah I don't really even work here like that anyways so I'll just be a fuckin' jack on principle alone-just because! "

Get the fuck out of here. I'm pretty sure we're done here. Discussion slammed shut.
