I understand Melina because she was super popular but Aksana and Cameron were never over. Cameron was a huge charecter on the early seasons of Total Divas so I can see why she would get asked.............................. Aksana is easily the most random......like maybe just one notch above people who were 1 and done in the Mae Young Classic or rando FCW people

"Bring back Aksana for a nostalgia pop" sounds like a shitpost from 2014 but WWE proves they are actually the joke people say they are, and more. Like this isn't the reason that WWE is in such a rough place creatively and steering itslef into the ditch, but it's one of the most on-its-face hilarious symptoms imaginable.

Couple of fun Aksana facts from the points rankings:
*Longest losing streak for any woman scored within the timeframe of the project (33), 6th out of all wrestlers in the project, behind only Curt Hawkins, Ariya Daivari, Yoshi Tatsu, Akira Tozawa and Viktor *Worst win/loss percentage for any wrestler scored within the timeframe with 50 matches or more (11-72-0, 13.25%)

I have no idea if Aksana's done zilch in that time.

Damn, they're really reaching way back there for some of these entrants, who's next? Muffy, Stephanie McMahon's Personal Trainer?

Aksana and Cameron?
Those weren't even used much when they were there.
This is a joke lol.

If you know me, I am a defender of Aksana but only specifically for the brief time on the JBL and Cole show when she was the continuity fairy ruining Cody’s court case with JBL and him trying to get people to defend him.
As a surprise entrant for the Rumble? With Cameron? No wonder they agreed to Mickie’s demand about acknowledging Impact, those fools are desperate.

Alright if I can't have Eve then I'll trade her for Kaitlyn and Katie Lea Burchill. A shame we won't get to see Kaitlyn vs. her daughter, Toni Storm.

The real question here is how many women said no before they called Aksana.

If this is true then there is no room for NXT.

That sounds dire.
Some of the NXT women should have back-up plans now if none of them are in this year's Rumble.

This women’s rumble has the potential to be an all-timer.

You have Io Shirai on the roster yet wont put her in the rumble while they are begging past stars to return for it. Io has to be considering her options at this point as the horsewomen and potentially Ronda mean no chance on the main roster while she doesn't fit in the new NXT at all.

This is giving some “Dick Murdoch in the 1995 Royal Rumble” energy.

I wonder how they'll sell this on commentary? Will Cole do his over-the-top schtick of "Oh my! Could it be?" to defeaning silence and indifference?

Melina. Not a COMPLETE surprise to me but a nice one as I thought she was alright back in the day (though I'd rather had found out at the Rumble itself...ah well that's what I get for reading spoilers lol) Cameron? Well we'll probably a Funkadyctal thing now in the Rumble with her and Naomi. Aksana? Hopefully she'll get the dumped outside within seconds spot lol.

This women’s rumble has the potential to be an all-timer. In my experience some of the best PPV's are the ones least anticipated...Not saying this will be a great Rumble but just trying to be positive lol.
