LMAO, they actually have a f***ing checkbox on to include "humor" on the show. No wonder the show ain't funny 90% of the time, they are trying way too hard.
Also, in the writer's promo checklist, "do not over write." L O f***ING L.

I was surprised to see Paige listed as a babyface but i'll see how it plays out. This really bothers me. I get that she was a heel on NXT and a face in WWE and I get that NXT and WWE are separate continuities with one not necessarily being canon in the other, but they are trying to have it both ways and it is just really annoying the piss out of me. She's either a brand-new babyfaced Diva or the evil bitch from NXT... they can't just have her be the babyfaced NXT champion. It's bullshit. At least make an attempt to turn her. Paige isn't an evil bitch from NXT though, she is a babyface champion on that too. I don't get what your post is about. |

Either I'm horribly wrong, which has been known to happen, or we aren't watching the same show? Either way, I retract my statement. |

I've watched every NXT show in every version so I've seen all Paige has televised with WWE. She started off heel... ish but then turned into a grumpy babyface. I've never seen 100% heel Paige though nevermind considered here remotely heel since about 2012. What is it about her, the crowd and commentators that has made you think she is a bitch heel? |

I did misspeak in saying "bitch" heel since she wasn't quite on that level, but to me she's definitely not been a babyface. Look at NXT Arrival (or ArRIVAL or whatever) for example. She definitely wasn't the babyface there. I'd agree with Tweener since the crowd does get behind her and she's not really a full-on "rulebreaker", but she's definitely ruthless, cocky and has a mean streak. However in WWE she's an overly thankful, super emotional, underdog/fight-from-underneath babyface. You can scratch off the emotional and thankful as real feelings and not part of the character, but she definitely spent the vast majority of that Alicia Fox match getting beat down only to make a miraculous one-move comeback.

I get what you mean now. I do agree the variation in portrayal is a bit weird but I honestly think that when AJ said the title was on the line, Paige was meant to smile to imply it was all a plan or a plot to get the title match but she either forgot or the camera missed. You put that "sneaky" aspect into it and the whole plays out like: Paige is this NXT rookie who is 21 years old and everyone thinks is a noob but she's actually an 8 year vet in the business, is already NXT champ and his just played the 290000 day long champ into losing her belt on her first main roster night. I feel the narrative is that of someone who is mentally and physically on another level but no one else sees it - but it comes off due to poor announcing and Paige's limit of acting skill as a rookie fluke. |

where is the ballyhoo? how can you have a Raw without ballyhoo? i know they were paying tribute to UW, but if they can squeeze in humor why can't they have a little ballyhoo?

I guess with Paige you'd have to call her a tweener then yeah, she can work with heels and with faces.
Someone on another forum compared her to like Steve Austin was in the late 90's.

This checkbox might be the best part of the whole thing:  Notice the word "Humor" is bolded, and right below that it says items in bold are not included on the show. |

We should all adapt the Humor box for all our posts.
It'd solve a lot of miscommunications.

And we finally have our answer-- the Miz is a heel!
Incidentally, the order of the talent roster page provides some insight into how WWE ranks the importance of the wrestlers internally.

"Removed from Roster: Warrior" Well...that's...official. My first thought was "Ouch, that's harsh..." My second was "Well, RIP Ezekiel Jackson" ...I'm a horrible person. |

Ah, so that was the joke, then. Now that I look, it is a little pixely. I couldn't tell immediately though.
