She's so turning heel, stealing the title, and setting up Willow to chase her through the summer.
Count me in.

Really great back and forth from her and Willow at the contract signing tonight
That really helped sell the match and was the most comfortable Mercedes sounded
And a wicked table bump too, props to her

That was a really good segment. Mercedes is a much better talker as a heel. And she took a big bump as well.
This segment actually sold me more on Mercedes possibly winning. Especially if it is by heelish means.

She's still not good on the mic but she's clearly a million times more comfortable as a heel. And once she wins the title she can do what she's world-class at instead of having to rely on promos

I think it is odd that just when myself and (based upon the comments in this thread) many others think she is really starting to get her character in shape that Dave thinks "enough is enough". But I am also not a big fan of Dave. Folks in the /SC discord seem to think his word is God but he's been wrong so often I think most of what he posts is sources working him or his own opinion couched as fact.

Dave is one of the only legitimate journalists covering the industry; where he deserves a lot of respect is the fact he takes that job seriously, does better in-depth reporting than most outlets offer, and covers stories many others avoid because they're too worried about maintaining access to big companies and whatnot, whereas Meltzer will cover literally anything.
That said, that doesn't make his analysis right every time, so if people want to disagree about his take on something happening on TV or whatever, go for it. I'd also say he's not the best for "scoops"; that's more a reporter's job, and guys like Sapp are pretty strong in that department. But Dave's actual reporting beats out nearly everyone's who follows wrestling, especially given he does it without the backing of a major publication.

She's in like five episodes across three seasons, I find it really weird how overstated her role gets in wrestling spheres. Her absence from the movie wouldn't even make me blink, she's a minor side character. yeah, she's a random Mando, with a total of 20 minutes of screen time in 4 episodes over 3 seasons... her character isn't that important.

Maybe being a fish out the water is the point? Particularly as she’s clearly a heel now versus the beloved babyface Willow.

2 minutes into her debut promo I was like “oh yeah, this is why I was sick of her in WWE” and she has done nothing to change that opinion thus far. She can go in the ring, I’m certainly not criticizing that aspect, and it was a massive mistake to have her on TV for 2.5 months before she can wrestle. Her character work is dreadful and channel change inducing to me, I already want her to just f*** off.
I’m sure my opinion will soften once she’s back in the ring and the focus is on that, but dear god don’t ever keep her on TV through an injury again. They would’ve been MUCH better off to debut her a week or two after Dynasty when Willow was having her title win celebration.

One of my biggest problems with her presentation is that Dvorak's symphony no. 9 is so tied up with GUNTHER for me (GIVE THE WHOLE THING BACK TO HIM, DAMN IT) that it is just weird hearing anyone else use even a remix of it.

A triple main event. They're certainly highlighting her debut, that's for sure. I doubt she's going last since I'm assuming the Bucks and jungle jack get that honor

It's interesting that the midcard TBS Championship is getting top billing over the Women's World Championship. I guess that's the Mercedes factor.

I don't know how I feel about a show having a "triple main event", seems like that renders "main event" meaningless, but it makes for a clever slot machine visual at least.
