I don't think they've given up, so much as Smackdown is notoriously shitty at using even people they *like* consistently. People just disappear with no rhyme or reason for weeks at a time. For real. Even people that the creative team is clearly high on get lost in the fold on this show. I understand that you can only fit so much in two hours but Smackdown in particular is really REALLY bad about it. Then on Raw, you get the same people showing up 3 or 4 times a show, making you never want to see them again (or, you know, until next week)

Now watch him become WWE Champion in a month lol. The breakout star of Blake and Murphy was Alexa Bliss. The breakout star of Enzo and Cass was Carmella. Zelina Vega will have a championship title before Almas would... That’s because Blake and Murphy sucked lol Enzo was the real star of the other trio. He was ending Raws and was over like rover. But he couldn’t keep out of trouble so that’s why Carmella is still there.

You know, I'm starting to think WWE may just have too many damn wrestlers. They could cut twenty guys and no one would be missed

By that logic, Heyman is a bigger star than Brock Lesnar.

Least shocking thing ever. I said when Almas was in NXT that he'd end up doing nothing on the main roster and Vince would immediately push Zelina instead. I think the problem WWE has with finding a new Latino star is that they either do one of two things: 1) Have them come in as arrogant heels (Del Rio, Almas) or 2) Sign random lucha dudes with masks that can't cut an English promo. I think that's why guys like Rey and Eddie was unique. Rey is from San Diego but made his name in the lucha genre, Eddie somewhat as well (throw in Japan there too). Both bilingual as well. Yes you were correct they are pushing Vega more than him. You must have a crystal ball lol Of course without Vega he is ,in my opinion finished , because his English language skills is a bit Limited( not trying to be racist here but the promos I've seen what he cut in English wasnt good, even the announcers said something to the effect of what the heck did he say ) which is why they have Vega with him without her I think he's going to be lost I look at them like Rusev/Lana. At 1st Rusev needed Lana to talk and he crush, later Rusev got better on the mic an found his voice. They just need to be patient with Almas

Ah they’re trying to “Marc Mero” him. This time Sable is actually talented so it might work.
They tried to get Rusev but the man is too damn good to stay down

You know, I'm starting to think WWE may just have too many damn wrestlers. Smackdown especially seems to not have any idea how to book for the size roster it has.

I mean I know most people that couldn't tell Blake and Murphy apart DESPITE their tights having their names on them... and them not looking at all alike.. I mean there wasn't much reason to care about them outside Alexa, she was the star of the trio. and yeah... Carmella was most certainly not the star of that trio... and is only still around because Enzo being a shithead and Cass bein' Cass.

Matches never were good, but she understands character work and so, she ends up being the better of the three (if only because Enzo Enzo'ed himself). Still, she deserves credit.

I think they focused on Zelina more over the last few weeks because they need to focus on the Evolution event. And they haven't focused on Almas because he is not on *He Who Shall Not Be Named*'s hundred million dollar wish list.
Once the dust settles from those two events, I'm sure the pair'll be back to their usual hijinxs and getting some steam behind them.

You know, I'm starting to think WWE may just have too many damn wrestlers. Someone's success = Someone's failure, in life and in WWE When, say, Elias and Kevin Owens faceturn, it's because they've given up on 2 other babyfaces (I'm guessing Lashley and maybe Roman). Almas is over as a good wrestler I feel, but he's not given any time and especially now that Mysterio is back it feels like he could've had both of those high-profile matches that Rey won and be in BITW Cup rn but lost his kinda-earned spot. So if Rey's succeeded in his surprise return on SDLive, who eats the bullet for the shoplifted push? Almas.

WWE sure does love dropping the ball/f***ing up with great wrestlers.
