Layla and AJ doesn't work.

[mrbananagrabber]

I don't know if they're starting a new duo with them, but it doesn't fit for me. AJ's supposed to be a nut, and Layla is just another tedious self absorbed bore. Why would they suddenly become friends?

And let's be honest, Layla's nearly 37 years old. Her skipping round the ring is kinda embarrassing.

Not having it.

[Sparkybob]

I like them.

[kidglov3s]

For those who know of my opinion on AJ and my adoration of Laycool I will say that this has been a particularly sad turn in the Age of AJ.

[kamero00]

It's been like 6 days since they've been together. Layla looks 25, so what does that matter? IMO, just give it time.

This is what Creative found for Layla.





.........see? Sometimes it IS a good thing to be released.

It is Layla and AJ holding hands and skipping with every night being a potential mere moments from them jumping the others bones.

How does this not work?

[Cronant]

It really doesn't, to be honest. I don't think she adds anything to AJ. At least with McCool she added the silliness to her when she was portrayed as more legit in the ring.

On that note, putting Layla with Kaitlyn didn't really work, either.

Don't get me wrong, she looks amazing for her age (not that 36 is old or anything) but next to AJ it just looks weird.

I know it's early days but calling it now - doesn't work.

[The Man They Call Asher]

Layla loved to get physical with the other divas, AJ loved it when Layla got physical with her. Now they get physical every day, sometimes twice! Is that so bad?

[Deleted]

Some one on creative has been watching Orange is the New Black.

Or not...I dunno.

[BlackoutCreature]

I just thought turning Layla heel was silly to begin with. With the way the Divas division works, if you have a heel champion, then you should have a fairly face heavy diva roster. Turning one of them heel without even getting a some kind of feud with the heel champion out of the way first is just pointless.

Kayfabe, if Layla wanted attention, after she cost Kaitlyn the match she should have kicked AJ in the face. Instant title match. Instant attention.

[CM Dazz]

I just can't buy Layla as a heel. Sure, it worked as part of LayCool, but in general it just seems wrong.

[HR]

Yep it's an awful pairing. It's just going to drag AJ down, Layla (who basically no one gives a shit about) leeching all her unique mannerisms like skipping is just terrible.

The reasoning for Layla's turn is awful. If she wanted attention (which is a basic and uncreative reason which they always use for the Divas...) then why didn't she turn on Kaitlyn when she was actually the champion, rather than waiting for someone else to beat her for it. It's dumb and terrible.

This has been my issue with the Layla turn. In kayfabe, she's an idiot. Being Divas Champion means you'd get attention. You were right there with Kaitlyn when she was champ. Attacking the champ is the quickest way to a title shot in the world of the WWE. So you wait till Kaitlyn ISN'T the champion to betray her?! What the f***, Layla?

Layla is a coward and a tagalong. BUT SHE'S MICHELLE'S COWARD, DAMMIT!

Laycool 4ever.

[Shark]

It's been 4 days.

We've seen them together for exactly 2 shows.

It's been 4 days.

Why are people already saying this isn't working?

IT'S BEEN 4 DAYS!

Give it some freaking time!

[Dave the Dave]

I'll never know what people actually think because I lot of people are thinking with their dicks. "Oh y god the might kiss! I LOVE IT!"

But I don't really. I think Big E was enough. Being pals with Layla is not needed and she should have stayed face anyway. There are other heels to break up the never ending AJ/Kaitlyn thing.

I'm saying it doesn't work, I'm saying it doesn't look like it will.

[Deleted]

I'm not certain they're even really a duo. I think they just happened to be grudging on the same chick, had moments of triumph together and made the best of it. I'm all for them getting together and skipping erotically but I feel like their working in tandem has just been a matter of right place and right time.

[Andrew is Good]

It is an odd pairing. Basically, they're putting the cold as ice Layla with a generally hot act in AJ. Basically, they have nothing for Layla so we'll just stick her with AJ.
