Great look. Great moveset (all be it a slightly scary finisher considering the neck issues people have had in recent years). Great entrance and theme. But the most boring character on the roster. Even Apollo Crews has done more in recent weeks than just smile.
I get that there's nothing for her to do at the moment but that potential mystique of what her character could have been is dead. What a waste of a gimmick. It's annoying because they didn't even really capitalise on it in NXT either in my opinion which is very unusual. She is a great worker but seems to get absolutely nothing from the crowd because she has no reason to be there.
Aside from a heel turn, is there anything that can save her character?

Simply putting her in a feud would actually help as she's really yet to have one despite being on the roster since April. There's no reason to care because she has no storyline that fans can invest into. All she's done is play third wheel in six woman matches with Bayley and Sasha.
Unfortunately Raw is really weak on heels so they don't really have many directions when it comes to feuds with her. She's already fought Nia and the Riott Squad countless times so neither of those options are interesting, Mickie and Alicia are both super stale so nobody would care about either of those either, and Tamina is terrible and she doesn't need to weighed down by being stuck in a program with her. I thought her and Alexa could've been a decent program around the time she debuted as they apparently travel together and are friends in real life which is usually going to lead to good chemistry in the ring and it would give Alexa a much needed break from the title picture. However they ended up giving Alexa yet another needless title run and now she's injured so it looks like the window has closed on that.

She's talented with so much potential but at this stage I'm practically begging for her to show some personality and some of the star power she had in NXT.
Asuka v Ember at Mania would go some way to fixing her.

While I understand why they'd do Ronda vs. Bliss at SummerSlam, I thought Ember had the best performance of anyone in that MITB match. I'd like to see her get traded to SD and renew her rivalry with Asuka.

It's the main roster. Everyone is made to look boring.

I don't know how much you can blame her for being on Main Event and in multi person tag matches all year.
Who from Raw's women's division has a story at any given time except Ronda and her challenger?

All she has been given an opportunity to do is some high spots in multi person matches and have tv matches, she has nailed those roles. But, it’s not like she has been given a chance to get the crowd on her side and failed, she has only been used as a warm body.

Has she even had a storyline besides “me and Nia are kinda friends I guess”? Can’t even think of the last time she cut a promo on Raw..or ever since being called up.
I’d wait until she’s actually in the spotlight and not just her in multiwomen matches.

sshe'd be a fresh face in the rousey title picture mix, but with rousey occupied with some form of becky and charlotte until mania she probably won't get a chance for a while.

She was amazing in NXT.
Then she comes to Raw with bright red hair... ugh.
They always make these little “tweaks” to NXT characters that are already established and over.
Ascension had a whole “Supernatural” type thing going on and were tearing it up in NXT... they come to Raw and they’re wearing face paint looking like two LOD cosplayer geeks.
Authors of Pain were legit one of the best, most over acts in NXT with Paul Ellering... just look at that pop on their debut. Then boom, it didn’t even take them ONE WEEK to throw it all out the window, have them ditch Ellering and then start hanging out with a bloke half their size which quite frankly, looks absolutely ridiculous and makes them look like two goobers. On top of that, they’re just “AOP” now... no badass Call of Duty style gear, no Paul Ellering, just two blokes with vests who hang out with a guy who pisses himself. Ugh.
Don’t get me started on “The IIconics”, Tyler Breeze, The Revival, The Vaudevillains... the list goes on. The sooner HHH takes over, the better.

I've said it already here but she lost me on her very first entrance in NXT when she came out and started slapping people's hands and smiling after a dark entrance and dark vignettes in the lead up to her debut.
She's good in the ring...but doesn't do anything for me besides that.

She’s had no booking to speak of. She isn’t over beyond people know who she is. That said, she’s a good athlete. Shows good fire as a babyface and was very good in NXT. All she needs is something to do.

She is neither blond, nor white, nor related to the Rock, so I am not surprised they are not pushing her right away.

While I agree with the overall message,I dont see any difference between Ember in NXT and main roster besides booked less.

She was this same bland personality in NXT despite having quite the USP in terms of potential character. Nothing has changed now she's on RAW. As I've said before, great look, great worker, great entrance, no character.

The only interesting thing about her is her finishing move. Outside of that, she's very, very bland. I don't think anyone could explain what her gimmick is supposed to be.
