Eva Marie plans and Bayley

Scott,


There was a recent story that WWE plans to put the NXT title on Eva Marie through a feud with Bayley in an effort to ‘legitimize’ her which reminds of the late 90s when titles were routinely hot-shorted on (and off) wrestlers seemingly for the purpose of calling them champions. The last few years of WCW and championship hot potato still hurts to think about.

Do you see this happening or do you think the NXT maintain the quality of women’s wrestling for the little Fed and refrain from putting the title on someone who can’t quite cut it?

As a related question, if this does happen (big IF I hope), Eva Marie could improve dramatically in the next several months before winning the title. How likely do you see this possibility even with her private training sessions with Brian Kendrick?

​They LOVE Eva Marie. She’s never getting any better, but they don’t care. It’s gonna happen. Just accept it. I already made peace with it after the Takeover special, and you should too. It’ll make it easier on everyone.
