Isn't she the one that WWE signed because they thought she looked like Rebecca Black? I don't have much hope for her future sadly .

Eli Cottonwood wrestled at this show too. Yes, but did he have a mustache? As for the actual topic though, another signing of an actual wrestling person is always good.

Ricardo Rodriguez told me a couple of months ago that he was at her tryout, and was really happy that she was signed.

Very happy with this. I saw Britani/Saraya for the first time at the SHIMMER taping in March, and was impressed. Her yell of "Eng-Ger-Land!" was great to get heel heat. Looked great as sympathetic face at the SHIMMER taping back in October. She has great talent, and I can a great future in her.
I'll admit, I wish it was Del Rey or Lufisto, but Britani will show those models how it's done.

This is easily the happiest I've been for an indy to WWE signing. This woman is a STAR. She can have the entire crowd eating out of her hand without doing a thing. Amazing heel, amazing face, amazing on the mic.
I'm so, so happy. Go get 'em girl! Do it for Engerland!

But seriously, if she's as good as everybody is making her out to be then I hope they treat her well. But considering how they've used other talented divas like Gail Kim and Natalya, my expectations aren't very high. Even if she gets pushed to the top of the division, that means she gets 5 minutes on RAW instead of 2 minutes.

If Trish and Lita returned for one offs and had a match together they might get three. MIGHT.

I hold out hope for SDR, though, as well as Cheerleader Melissa; above all, that they'd be signed in part to steer the division in a more serious direction. Ah, but 'tis no more than hope, for now.

Dave Meltzer pretty much confirmed in this week's Observer that Britani may be in FCW a while, as WWE's unofficial policy is that workers on the main roster should be 21 and over. Britani's 19.
This is why Bo Rotundo hasn't debuted yet - he's only just turned 21.

Is that why they waited on K2 to bring her up when she debuted and even though she has the experience she may need to get used to how the WWE does things, after all each company has their own way of working matches

This is why Bo Rotundo hasn't debuted yet - he's only just turned 21. I actually wouldn't mind if they do wait. Although Britani is by far better than most of the roster already (in fact I'd go so far to say she's already in the top 4 in the WWE all together) a couple of years extra training can't hurt. Give her a couple of years to develop a distinct character for the WWE, improve her promo skills, experience working a WWE divas style (I.e fitting in her spots/moves in about two minutes) etc and she'll be a star. Could easily see her been the face of the divas division in the near future.

This is why Bo Rotundo hasn't debuted yet - he's only just turned 21. That doesn't make sense to me. I understand that FCW is for developing people in what you want but, if they are ready at 19 (or say 20 in Britani's case) why wait 2 more years minimum (and God knows how long before creative has something for them) and risk injury or burn out? I mean, if someone is 19 and you aren't going to really use them for at least 2 years, why hire them? Let them work, travel and develop elsewhere. Long FCW stays have never helped anyone it seems.

They probably don't want someone that young around wrestlers who will probably be drinking after the show. WWE doesn't need any accusations of underage drinking.

A couple of things on that: Who would she be around in FCW? There is no real difference between that and being on the road as far as I can tell. If that was an issue, they could just throw something in the Wellness Policy and have it covered.

Depending on the legal age in the US (I have no idea, someone clarify) it could be because they want legal adults on the road. Also, I guess it could be because, for the most part, FCW rarely travels very far (throughout one state vs the world).

Being British, I can see Britani having already drinking as the legal drinking age is 18 there (I think).
