Watch it being Jey Uso as the one who is actually getting these things. Mandy thinks she is sending it to Jimmy but it’s really Jey who is seeing and getting them.

My thing is that she had to send the picture to the production team for them to put it on the tron.

This is exactly how I have pictured this ending. She gets riskier and riskier in her antics...but the whole time she sent it to Jey and in the end she just looks stupid.

These things just seem daft in the total divas era when Naomi and Uso will be very happy together and Mandy will probably have a boyfriend (I haven't watched for years but I can only presume). Its like the Lana /Ziggler storyline. It doesn't work because everyone already knows.

Stupid, sexy Mandy should be a thing. She keeps trying to use her looks to get ahead, but it always ends up being awkward. "Oh no, the votes are going down."

Then I guess they should just stop doing pro wrestling all together because everyone knows that’s not real either? I’m always surprised how people can suspend their disbelief for some things and not others it’s entertainment and their playing characters pro wrestling at its best is like a circus there’s something for everybody not everyone likes the tigers but they might like the elephants or they don’t like the monkeys riding bikes but they like the clowns juggling knives that are on fire or in pro wrestling terms some people don’t like just good wrestling matches some people like some wrestling,some campy drama,a little comedy,etc pro wrestling especially wwe has gotten too shortsighted in what a broader audience likes and that’s a big reason that their ratings are where they are trying to appeal to the smallest percentage of fans and to me that’s never a good idea.

I think the storyline is awkward, because I don't think trying to get someone to cheat (even though it's not real), is not good taste, for a family friendly product. I don't condone cheating, so it wouldn't be an idea I would have, for a storyline. I don't condone cheating either but it's the heel doing a bad thing. that is the whole point Plus, she's clearly doing it to get under Naomi's skin and get Naomi off her game so that Mandy has an advantage when they finally have their match where if Mandy wins, she beats a former 2 time champion and moves up the ladder to the title. Compared to a LOT of the other stuff in WWE, this angle makes a lot of basic sense.

I'm mostly confused what the, like... purpose of Mandy Rose is. I mean, they're obviously pushing her to the moon, because she looks vaguely like Trish Stratus and that's enough to get you a push, but the most I can really actually say for her as a talent is, "She's passable on the mic." She looks great and is decent enough both on the mic and the ring. Also she's more believable and imposing in the ring then the other "divaish" women that have been pushed like Alexa and Carmella. Unlike those two she looks like she could actually hurt you and do some damage when she delivers a blow or does a move. I think the bigger question is why has it taken them so long to push her?

She was called up too soon, which I don't hold against her, but she's been improving since her debut. Still needs some more work on the in ring stuff, but she's not the disaster she's made out to be IMO. And she's a good talker, but I don't know why they. have. her. talk. like. this.

I don’t know, I don’t recall Asuka or Becky having any form of blonde in their hair unless I missed some crazy mishap in the hair department But honestly, even if someone like Liv or Mandy gets a push, it shouldn’t all be pinned on “they’re just blonde and hawt. Typical Vince.” Mandy has shown some improvements both in the ring on the mic. She does need a bit more polish, but she isn’t as bad as so many make her out to be. Plus, her knee is brutal as hell. It’s better than having her be off TV for weeks or months and not being able to learn/improve on absolutely nothing like they’ve had both of them do.

It reminds me of the Ric Flair versus Randy Savage storyline, with the doctored pics. It's an interesting heel move.
If they ever wanted to break the Usos up, you have a literal twin for staged "proof" of a tryst, as well.

Alexa's got the gymnist and cheerleader stuff, so I can buy her fine. It takes a lot of power per pound to get anywhere in either of those disciplines. Doesn't mean I think she isn't better off when they have her play possum like the "dislocated" elbow spot, but I can buy her as being scrappy.

While an Uso split sounds ridiculous to me, Jey turning heel on Jimmy and Naomi also sounds too funny for me to not want to see it. I'd honestly take it over them going after the tag titles yet again. Go full car crash TV with this storyline.

”I’m willing to accept that a guy using a fake name has magical powers or another guy using a fake name is an undead zombie or a lady using a fake name calling herself a boss when I know she’s an independent contractor at best but I will not can not accept 2 people playing characters using fake names pretending to be in a relationship when their not in real-life that’s just insults my intelligence too much.” -Quote from a random member of the ISEC
At its core WWE is people pretending to fight for a living in predetermined battles scripted by a crazy old man and his 85 writers if we’re willing to accept that then is it really that big of a stretch that these pretend characters might be pretend interested in eachother on a pretend show?
There’s a lot of ridiculous things in wwe we just accept even though there not real just to name a few: A mayor from Tennessee named Glen as a Demon from Hell thats brothers with an undead zombie who’s really a guy named Mark from Texas. A guy named Tom pretending to be a GM named Baron. A dude named Adam pretending to be a monster named Braun Strowman. A grown woman named Pam pretending to be a child named Bayley. A dude named Colby pretending to be an architect/arsonist named Seth. A dude named Joe playing a Dog named Roman.

It’s gotta be one of the longest unbroken runs for a tag team in WWE history. They’ve been on the roster since 2010, and the only extended time they were apart was when Jey hurt his shoulder just before WrestleMania in 2015.

Alexa was also a female body builder and is still really muscular.
