So, that was a pretty awful return.
Look, Becky's good, but she needs to be working with people at her skill level or above. Carrying deadweight who hasn't been wrestling for 3-4 months is a recipe for disaster.
I think it's time to call it on Alicia or find her something she can do better in the company, cause wrestling ain't it. She's not important in the grand scheme, at all and she's been around forever, if she's not the longest tenured on the women's side, she has to be close to that. Between the bad behavior and the bad matches, I'm not seeing an upside...

I believe they should have fired her for showing up to work intoxicated.

Alicia Fox would make a good manager. Her energy and weirdness could really bring some boring heel to life. Imagine her with Roode or even as a co-host of Bray Wyatt's new kids show.
But a wrestler? Yeah, she can do a few good spots, but she simply isn't going to put on a good match. With anyone. And she's especially not going to do it after having been inactive for months.

TBH I'm surprised Alicia Fox has been in the company as long as she has been.

TBH I'm surprised Alicia Fox has been in the company as long as she has been. She signed in July 2006. To put that in perspective, her opponent last night was still in her first career run in wrestling and hadn’t yet suffered the head injury that put her into retirement for years.

I'm amazed that she got up after two Bexploders, though that I think was just bad booking and not on her. The clips I saw were a bit rough though.

Alicia as a co-host on Wyatt’s show could be fun. She’s so wacky that I could definitely see that working. Then again I wouldn't be surprised if she gets released in the near future and ends up in TNA either.

Nah if she gets released, she'll probably go right to ROH.

Alicia should have been gone years ago but the last straw should have been her showing up to work drunk. Should have been fired but still allowed to attend rehab on the company dime as per their agreements on letting any current or past star get rehab.

She's bad at everything. You could close your eyes and pick a girl from the indies to take over her role and it'd almost certainly be an upgrade.

Becky's not great in the ring, but not even Charlotte and Asuka can get a good match out of Alicia Fox. She's been there forever and she's still absolutely awful in there. Not to mention she's annoying as hell and not in the good IIconics way. I have no ill will towards her and I'm glad she's at least well enough to return, but goddamn.

Alicia should've been fired for showing up drunk and refusing rehab. The fact that she not only kept her job but was given a competitive ten minute match against Becky and was given more then Ruby Riott (who is better and not problematic backstage at least that I know of) just sends a very bad message. With her putting subpar performances in the ring it is really baffling that they are still keeping her around.
As far as Becky goes as much as I love her and even though I would still say she's good, I think she's starting to get exposed in ring lately as someone who can't have a good long match with people below her skill level. The match last night was pretty bad and I remember her also having a stinker with Peyton Royce a couple of months ago on Smackdown that also went about ten minutes. Granted neither of those matches should've been booked to go ten minutes but it is still kind of concerning for someone who is going to the top women going forward. Also doesn't give me much optimism for her upcoming match with Lacey who seems super green.

You put here in there with Becky, Asuka, Sasha or Ronda and she'll tear the house down, but against the likes of Nia, Carmella, Alexa or The IIconics the match will stink more often than not.

Right now, I think the only person on WWE's full-time roster who can get good matches out of subpar or limited talents is Daniel Bryan. It's a very, very hard thing to do.

When I look at people like Alicia Fox, The Colons, Tamina, etc..people who are only around because the locker room enjoys their company and they are rumored to be nice people, it makes me second guess WWE's alleged harshness toward their employees. There are not many industries or companies out there where people can sustain employment simply because they're well liked and pleasant to talk to in the cafeteria or by the water cooler.

You put here in there with Becky, Asuka, Sasha or Ronda and she'll tear the house down, but against the likes of Nia, Carmella, Alexa or The IIconics the match will stink more often than not. I think a lot of it might just come down to in ring chemistry. I would actually say both Becky and Charlotte have gotten pretty solid matches out of Carmella in the past heck Charlotte just had one with her last week. Not great but better then anyone else has been able to get out of her. Becky's matches with Alexa I remember being pretty decent as well so maybe I'm being a little harsh on Becky when it comes to carrying inferior talents in ring now that I look back. On the other hand neither have been able to do much with the IIconics and both have had major DUD's with Nia (Charlotte) and Alicia (Becky). Then you have Asuka who I would say is a better natural in ring talent then Becky and probably about on par with Charlotte and she's had the same mixed results. I've seen her have genuinely good matches with Nia, Mandy Rose, and even Dana Brooke but then have seen her not be able to get anything out of Alexa and Carmella especially compared to Becky and Charlotte who were at least able to have solid matches with those two. I think it just comes down to chemisty and having styles that mesh well.

I always thought Alicia Fox wasn’t terrible. Not good, but passable to even solid.
She was so far off her game last night though... everything about that was ugly, and Becky isn’t good enough to elevate a dance partner who isn’t pulling their weight.
