Ruby Riott is back

[Deleted]

and she's STILL a heel, even though she got a nice reaction when she came out and she's always been a natural babyface.

Kabuki Warriors are in desperate need of interesting challengers and since The IIconics aren't around, Ruby and Liv could've been that team.

Glad Ruby’s back, she’s been missed.

Coulda woulda shoulda. #OnlyInWWE

I'm not really huge on Ruby anyway but I do wonder why on earth you wouldn't bring her back as a face. Both sides are lacking granted but she's much better as a face and really she's just been such a useless jobber during her entire main roster run that a reinvention is pretty much needed to be able to at all take her seriously.

And to top it off, we don't even get an explanation.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I don't blame her for being salty at Morgan. Look at those vignettes, who was the one running her mouth about "Oh, my best friend tried to change me into something I wasn't"? Bitch, Riott's only contribution to all that may have been pink hair dye and a supply of those lollies that made your tongue blue, the rest was all you.

I love when wrestlers never explain what they do the week they attack the opponent. We all know the true reason is that Vince and the writers haven't written an explanation so they need an extra week lol.

I liked the Riott Squad towards the end but I think it would best for all of them if they avoid going back to that. I like the prospect of a Liv/Ruby feud however Lana picking the bones on Liv makes it clear that the program is still going too unfortunately even though Liv decisively beat Lana in both of their matches. I guess this could be leading to a Lana/Ruby against Liv/Sarah tag feud which really does nothing for me as I think it would be a waste of both Liv and Ruby as a singles feud between the two of them would be a lot better.

At least the matches should be decent, I guess. Liv's not good enough to carry Lana, but she's come a long way from her NXT days and Ruby's always been very solid. I wonder how Sarah feels about all of this.

[Perd]

As Sarah Logan sadly puts down the fart spray.

So... why didn’t she return at the Rumble?

[tenshi]

Imagine if Ruby and Lana were an item as well and this ends up being a whole network of spiteful bisexual women being angry at each other...

Holy shit, that interviewer. I think I read the addressees on junk mail with more emotion than that.

"Why would you do. Such a thing. ?"

You say that like it might be a joke, but Rusev and Lashley were offscreen written out of the Rumble, and it's now been two weeks of no Rusev and one week of Lashley with no Lana in sight

It feels like the storyline's completely collapsed. Not like it was any good to start with.

I'm happy Ruby's back, but why is she still a heel?? She's a much better babyface.

I hate to think WWE only think of Ruby at a certain level. With any luck, this gets her to Mania week (she'll likely just be in the Non Moolah), and then if they're doing a shake up after Mania, she'll go to SmackDown and get a big push there.

They probably should've just waited until after WrestleMania to bring her back as at this points the women's matches are looking like Charlotte/Rhea, Becky/Shayna, Sasha/Bayley, and then the usual suspects in the battle royal. Since there's a lot of teams and alliances right now they should just do a tag team turmoil. Doing the battle royal every year is just going to lead to the same people every year due to the combination of the lack of turnover and them not elevating anyone ever leading to the same people in the title matches pretty much every year. At least a tag team turmoil would change things up and they would have more then enough teams to do it as you could have Asuka/Kairi, Royce/Kay, Morgan/Logan, Lana/Ruby, Bliss/Cross, Rose/Deville, Evans/Brooke, Naomi/Carmella, Nia/Tamina (if former is healthy), and then Natalya and someone.

My biggest gripe aside from keeping her heel was how they absolutely telegraphed the living f*** out of what was going to happen. She might as well been wearing a shirt with Russo's face on it, with the word SWERVE in huge letters

I'd love someone to just somehow admit that on TV

"Ruby, why did you attack Liv, your former best friend?!"

"I'll be honest...I didn't really think this through, but that means you'll get an answer *turns to camera* NEXT WEEK ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW!"

*She drops a smoke bomb and runs away*

I swear about half the interviews on the WWE YouTube channel are the wrestler being asked a question which they walk away from.
