Why is Nyla from Washington D.C.?

[SirLucas]

Ok, maybe she's really from Washington D.C. But when her music hits, there's the typical jungle animal sounds. Her gimmick is that she's a savage beast. Then when Justin Roberts announces she's from Washington D.C., as a fan looking to suspend disbelief in the character, it takes me out the moment a bit.

I just feel if they should give her a kayfabe hometown that's a bit more tropical that the nation's capital.

[defectiveepitaph]

It’s a political jungle.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

She's a Native Beast, it all ties into her culture and not so much where she is billed... idk I guess it's semantics

[SirLucas]

I just feel if you are going to have a Russian character, have that person be announced from Russia. If you have a surfer character, have that person be from somewhere near a beach. The same goes for a savage character.

[Mozenrath]

She's not portraying Tarzan or something. She's got Oneida Nation heritage.

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

It's a jungle out there.

[King Devitt]

Now that you mention it I'm kinda cheesed off that Moxley is billed from Las Vegas, but he's not a Professional Poker Player.

Even NXT has one of those.

Disorder and confusion everywhere.

She's not playing a Kamala stereotype. Aesthetics aside she's more of a brutality loving shitposter, who also celebrates her heritage, why does that need a kayfabe origin?

[Mainia]

Should have gone with good old Parts Unknown.

I’m obviously an outsider to US politics but I’ve seen enough to know that it’s the perfect hometown for Nyla Rose to be billed from.

Dave Batista was the Animal and he's from D.C. Huh, the only other major wrestler from Washington D.C. I can think of besides Big Dave & Nyla, is The Patriot Del Wilkes.

[dbrussel]

Yeah, Batista says hi

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

The DC stands for Destruction and Chaos.

[Deleted]

The song Welcome To The Jungle is about life in the big city.

Just sayin.

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

I have no problem with her being from DC, if she were in WWE she’d probably the billed as “From the Reservation” or some shit line that.

Many Native American’s live in cities, not just on the rez, please tell me that’s something that doesn’t actually need explaining?

[Cyno]

Washington DC's a rough city, man.

I feel like this thread is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of Nyla's character. And hopefully the uncomfortable racial undertones aren't intended.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

I wanna ask if this is an elaborate joke thread but I kinda feel like the Padme meme right now in asking.

[Mayonnaise]

NATIVE Beast

As in Native American.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

A savage beast
