Funny thing is they just did this with Lana and Rusev AGAIN but I guess someone realized on yea we did this already and cut that short and then asked so what other married couples we got on the roster?
There is an interesting way they could go with it.....split the Usos by way of Mandy
Atleast untill commentary blurts out Jey has got a wife and child and then everyone can drink and go home

Going back to the OP, what exactly would Mandy be ripping off from Scarlett that is exclusively hers? Arrogant hot girl who manipulates people with beauty isn't exactly exclusive to her either. I feel the same way when people called Laycool a rip off of the Beautiful People. The gimmicks are staples of wrestling that have been done hundreds of times before either of them Its the timing that makes it a rip off. Scarlett's been doing it for a while on impact, and now all of the sudden Mandy is doing it on Raw.

I think the curious thing with me and this storyline is that it does feel like a sort of throwback storyline to if not the Attitude Era, then the pre-Women's Revolution days. I mean, I watch Young and the Restless so it's not like I have some issue against cheating storylines and if this leads to Mandy Rose having decent matches, then it pays off. Just weird to me that the WWE has been really gung ho about women empowerment when this at least clashes with it a bit with reverting to a very stereotypical heel diva role. Though WWE being hypocritical about its messaging isn't exactly new either. I think that on the whole, the problem was that in the past this was basically the only type of woman's feud we'd really get. Now that we've had a good long breather, and a variety of different feuds since the Women's Revolution era, then it seems more acceptable to fling this into the mix again.
Yep, plus, Flair and Savage had the same formula. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I’m positive this is jus a coincidence and not some weird thing where WWE ripped off TNA.

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. What i think is even more awkward is the commentating with Graves considering he is married with children...Some of it is funny but it can get to be a bit much

What i think is even more awkward is the commentating with Graves considering he is married with children...Some of it is funny but it can get to be a bit much He’s playing a character and pro wrestling is a pretend universe I don’t remember them ever bringing up his real-life wife and kids on Raw or SDL ever if at all.The real man named Matt has a wife and kids while the character of Corey Graves is a 12 year old hornball.Do you have a problem with Undertaker being an undead zombie on wwe tv when in real-life he’s a dude named Mark who’s married to a former wwe wrestler who he has kids with or IRS’s son calling himself Bray Wyatt being a cult leader with magical powers when in real-life that’s not his named and he dates Jojo? Pro wrestling is not reality it’s a fantasy world where people play characters wwe has the great women’s wrestling killing it with Becky,Charlotte and Asuka but the rest of the SDL women’s roster is miles behind them from an in-ring skill standpoint at this point Naomi & Mandy aren’t gonna be able to perform on the level of those elite 3 so you need to find different ways of utilizing those talents Naomi comes off as likable while Mandy has a great look and that’s an easy to understand story of the hot heel chick trying to screw up a marriage it’s campy Entertainment and it gets them on the show every week in an episodic story instead of once a month or less with no story.

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. 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. It'll end up being Rikishi

My 9th graders told me tea is short for truth-not sure if that's the T or not.

So the gossip is that Mandy gets around. Smackdown is straight fire right now between Rusev actually having a title, Becky being the best thing in wrestling, Bryan with his deep heel character and now this Mandy story.

If Mandy starts wearing wrestling gear with Jimmy Uso's face on it, this feud becomes legendary.
