At least she didn't perform a move on her like Alex Riley did during the Season 2 NXT beatdown: Why does anyone ever defend Alex Riley ever? If you watch the full video, poor Percy is trying to get Riley off of him and tell him that he's on the same team. Riley punches him, stomps him in the corner, whips him off the ropes. Just no awareness whatsoever.

She should fuse with Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke to become the worst woman wrestler of all time. You full well know that's still Eva Marie

Damn Becky... Still has nothing on Rosa Mendes but not good Liv She should fuse with Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke to become the worst woman wrestler of all time. Dana is awful and I'd be surprised if she lasts very far into 2018, but how does Mandy belong in that conversation? She's been prefectly fine so far.

Why is Smackdown’s women’s roster 2 good wrestler, 2 or 3 passable wrestlers, and a bunch of green/terrible women? I'm asking myself something similar. Why is Smackdowns roster 3 good wrestlers, 2 or 3 passable wrestlers and a bunch of jobbers?

She's pretty green, and this was bad, but I like Liv Morgan. Her NXT stuff was ok.

What's with the Mandy Rose hate? She seems fine so far and isn't even close to Sarah or Liv levels of embarassment.
I think she can be pretty good down the road.

They learn nothing every time they pull these people up from NXT way too early for god knows what reason. Why does SDL need a 3-woman stable the SAME WEEK the other one debuts on Raw? It doesn't even make sense. I have to think maybe it's a thing like The Shield where Roman wasn't ready to stand on his own just yet, but he had the right look and they wanted to put him with two experienced wrestlers to help cover for him. It worked great for Roman, but that doesn't mean it works for everyone...or that these stables have an ounce of the appeal The Shield did.

Paige's return and the debut of her stable was awesome. They all had history together and it worked. When Ruby Riott's debuted the next night, I thought it came across as so forced and lame. The three of them have zero cohesion or reason to be a team. They really cheapened the quality of the night before.

She actually got visibly upset when Miz f***ed up her chance to nominate Mandy Rose for elimination because he was goofing around and said he would do it.

Still not a huge leap to allude to them winning her respect by sticking with it. Could be easily explained, implied, or assumed. The point is there's continuity. The Riott Squad is literally just three random women with no history or commonalities whatsoever.

As for Liv, with all that chaos going on, its an easy mistake to make.

She instantly goes from selling to realizing what she should be doing and then runs into her finisher. Notice how other wrestlers get into the opponent's finisher. They're usually selling, pretending to be groggy and then boom they get hit with it. You can see she doesn't have that down yet. That's being green. Meltzer even commented on how green she was a few weeks ago actually. She has time to grow but yeah Mandy ain't that good in the ring. Everyone was new once.

Remember Rosa Mendes did this as well? You can argue that Liv is trying to get in to help push Charlotte back in the ring and misjudged where her arm was. Rosa literally turned and attacked someone on her own team from what I remember.

She should fuse with Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke to become the worst woman wrestler of all time. You full well know that's still Eva Marie Eva never botched standing still. Rosa Mendez still "wins".

You full well know that's still Eva Marie Eva never botched standing still. Rosa Mendez still "wins". This cannot be said enough. For as bad as other people have been and the comment of people have about not having a clue what to do in the ring, Rosa’s pretty much worse than all of them. The only person she’s not worse than was Lacey Von Erich and she’s a special kind of awful.

The worst thing is, you could have had Ruby Riott start off solo by randomly attacking Charlotte, Naomi, and Becky from behind. It would still be credible and then bring in Sarah Logan in a few weeks when Ruby’s karma catches up with her. Then Liv Morgan like a month after that as “the missing piece”, that way you give Logan and Morgan an extra month or two in development to really focus on making themselves TV ready, and Riott will have already been established by then.
Plus, it makes the comparisons between Absolution and Riott squad less awkward.
