Emma's heel turn.

[TheBadGuy92]

We all know Emmas beginning, facing Paige to become the first NXT divas champion, getting over huge with the NXT audience and doing decent on the main roster with Santino.

Since then Santino has retied and Emma got into some legal trouble essentially sending her back to NXT..but since shes returned how are we feeling?

IMO im loving heel Emma her dry sense of humor and sarcasm are amazing, she looks ALOT hotter with the dark lipstick and brown roots showing, shes more aggressive in the ring and i enjoy her new entrance music.

I think shes playing her new role better than when she was getting over as a face. And shes showing more of a sexy side and everyone knows including Vince..sex sells.

Naturally, this begs the question: Is it better to be a bench warmer in the major leagues or a star in the minor leagues?

On the main WWE roster (the majors) Emma might have been worried her contract would run out and she'd be released before she could find a way to catch on and get TV exposure in the manner of the divas we see all the time.

Now, as a player on NXT, she gets a chance to carve her own path and.....in the best of all worlds.....use her new persona to get back to the majors.

She's pretty, she can wrestle......we knew that already from the limited exposure she got with Santino. I think it's great she's now getting a real chance to shine.

People actually care about Emma right now?.. She's in an irrelevant tag team on NXT that nobody pays attention to... She's absolutely worthless in the company right now, she contributes nothing. Being pretty doesn't mean anything since every goddamn woman on the roster is pretty. How bout something different.

Well, that was harsh. Emma is a fantastic performer and hardly irrelevant. In addition to helping Dana Brooke along, who is improving steadily, she's also part of the program to welcome Kanna/Asuka. Just because they're not feuding over the belt doesn't make them irrelevant. That's exactly how you build a division; you work other feuds and storylines for people who aren't the champions or the challengers, something the main roster is stumbling with.

Her heel turn definitely gave her a new perspective and a chance to show a different side, and I think it's working great. She could easily return to the main roster again some day if they continue to seriously build that division.

Emma was an important part of the putting Women's wrestling on the map down in NXT. She was just unlucky, along with Paige, that she got called up before it really took off and got shunted into a nothing storyline on the main roster. Throw in her personal issues and her first foray onto Raw was pretty much a disaster.

Now she's back in NXT she's playing the Evil Emma role I think she's got a decent chance of going back up and doing something. Her original character worked on a small scale where everyone knew the dance and how to react to her but taken into a Raw arena in front of thousands it didn't stand a chance. This new character is simpler but can be constructed enough to make her a big deal.

At the moment though I think she's better off in NXT. With Becky, Sasha and Charlotte gone there is a big gap in that Women's roster and people like Emma will get the chance to stand out.

I agree. No one cares about Emma except the OP who obviously has too much time on his hands. I mean who starts a thread about a nobody like Emma? Dude needs a hobby or something.

^^ the op isnt the only one, mustang sally and xRob13x are fans too, as well as me, so you cant say no one cares cause she does have her fans

 

[Prince Vee]

In my verdict, she's a tad clumsy and that makes her look cute. She could've had a good run as a babyface in the Mainroster but owing to some disastrous storylines and awful booking on the divas division, she went down the cards and almost had disappeared.

But I should complete go contrary with the statement above because she looks absolutely hot and her character is going so great down in NXT. With all the top girls in the NXT had moved to the Main roster it's a great opportunity for her to steal the spotlight and have a feud with Akasu and more possibly against Bailey!

Cheers!!

They should have persisted with her babyface character on the main roster after she served out her punishment for shop lifting. Her character was the perfect goofy nerd and could have acted as a great foil to Nikki Bella's hyper confident heel character at the end of last year, start of this year.

Emma is good looking for sure but she's not on the same level as Nikki so they could have played out a bullying scenario between the two. That could have also led to Emma & Paige teaming up to take on the Bellas as well.

Dude, seriously who cares? You and the posters mentioned are just as irrelevant as Emma. You can put shit in a suit, but at the end of day you're still stuck with shit. Have a good day, sir.

 

[LuckyLouie]

Relevant or not, she is doing great.
She is more of a bitch heel then a real face.
She looks amazing now that she doesnt have to be super awkward. She is very good in ring if given the time and chance to work. Given some time she will me called back up and if booked like she is booked now, people will react to her on the main roster.

 

[WarroBODFan]

I'm hoping to see her have a mini-feud with Asuka now, now Dana Brooke has already lost at Takeover. I've read the rumours of Asuka and Dana being the next ones in line to feud with Bayley, and while I'm very happy Asuka might be feuding with the champ, I'd rather see Emma in that spot over Dana Brooke.

 

[Softcore Holly]

A wrestler is relevant as long as they're being used in a relevant way, which Emma is since she's playing a meaningful role in NXT. Just like a wrestling fan is relevant just as long as they're supporting the product in one way or the other, whether it's watching the shows on TV or even better to spend money on the product. Of course it's fine to not like/care about a certain person but that alone doesn't make that person or their fans irrelevant.

I never thought I would say this, but Emma's heel character is great. As much as I miss her face persona and how silly that character was.... this heel turn was exactly what she needed. The new entrance music is a perfect fit, the alliance with Dana filled the needed top heel spot over in NXT's divas roster upon Sasha's main roster promotion, and now the new girls on NXT have someone very gifted in the ring to work with onscreen there. The alliance has done wonders for Dana as well. Emma should be the one to dethrone Bayley, she has earned it and it's a shame she didn't get a run with the belt when she was still a face. Regardless of if she's a heel or a face I'll always be a fan. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds for her. Glad that things have been improving for her following her return to NXT.
