Ivy seems to be doing tag team stuff.
I still believe she should have dropped it to Roxanne. NXT kind of wasted both big women’s tournaments this year (the Dusty and Breakout Tournaments) just to give Mandy two more defense.

She should drop the title at Halloween Havoc then go back to the main roster with Toxic Attraction in tow. I think she's in a better position now to be a solid upper midcard/occasional main event heel on Raw or especially Smackdown.
Toxic Attraction I think is one of those NXT acts that will work well on the main roster in front of bigger crowds. They're supposed to be these egomaniacal divas who think they're hot shit and massive stars but doing that kind of act in front of the tiny NXT performance center crowd is always a little off. How big of a star can you be when you're performing in front of the same 200 fans in Orlando every week?

Some may feel that being sent to NXT 2.0 from the main roster as a demotion.
She picked up the ball and ran with it. She is arguably the biggest star they have right now, and a lot of that is because of her consistent improvement of mic, character, and ring work.

I think while Mandy will be a good midcard heel, it'll be hard to see her in the main event scene, especially with it already being loaded, and them building up other women to be in that role. You have Becky, Bayley, Bianca, Ronda, Charlotte (when she returns), and arguably Asuka and Alexa as well. Not to mention them building up Iyo and Dakota as well. And Rhea and Raquel.

Out of the four blonde women of that era. She’s in the same tier as Liv.
Much better than Dana Brooke (bless her heart) but not as good as Carmella. Who has the best character work and can put on bangers with some of the best women in the division.
Like Liv she just gets what it means to be a “WWE superstar.” She just has It. Solid in ring. Decent on mic and character work.
This is the same woman that did a love triangle angle a few years ago. Now she’s believable having a division booked around her.
Are there people that can do all this better? Sure.
But this thread isn’t about them.
Is it time for her to drop the title and feud with Damage Control on the main roster. Sure.

People bringing up Tough Enough just makes me sad and think this all should have been for Sara Lee.

I see her being in that Carmella and Nattie role of midcarder who'll be the filler challenger before the big title match. That's the spot I see her likely ending up. Which honestly would be an improvement imo as I think she's a better and more interesting option then those two. Nothing against Nattie and Carmella but I think we're well past the point of where they should be getting PPV title shots. Both should strictly be on the low card putting people over at this point. I agree that it's going to be tough for her to get a top spot due to there being so many women that are always going to be priorities which is why getting sent to NXT was such a great move for her as it finally allowed room to give her a big push that she was never going to get on the MR. I also could see Liv and Shayna being pushed above her as well. Then you have Sasha (definitely will be above Mandy) and Naomi (about the same level or maybe slightly higher then Mandy) potentially coming back. So there's a chance Mandy would be like the 16th ranked women on the depth chart. Granted she could be a bit higher then that as there's other factors to take in. Who knows what the situation is with Sasha and Naomi, it's still hard to tell if they are all in on Liv or if she's going to fall back to the midcard after she loses the belt, Dakota is in a top heel stable but is also the pin eater fall girl of it, Shayna while in a better spot isn't going to be booked as a major deal either if CATC is to go by, and Alexa and Asuka I could maybe see both getting phased down a bit. However even if Mandy is above all of them then still that means she would only ninth as there's no way she's pushed above Becky, Bayley, Ronda, Charlotte, Bianca, Iyo, Raquel, and Rhea. So at best she would be 9th and even factoring in the brand split would likely be pnly like the #3 heel on Raw or Smackdown.

Alexa might be on her way down, but I doubt Asuka is going anywhere, especially since she was incredibly well liked by Vince, and even moreso by Triple H and Stephanie, both of whom pretty much consider her family. Plus she can still go in the ring, and is still moving tons of merchandise.

Plus she can still go in the ring, and is still moving tons of merchandise. It's hard to tell with both. Both felt like afterthoughts in the six woman at CATC and then both weren't on Raw at the next night either. It feels like it would be time to start phasing Alexa out as there really doesn't seem like a spot for her and they don't seem to know what to do with her. However she's still heavily protected which make me think she's still someone they think very highly of. She came back the night after Mania and she's only been pinned once since then. Against Liv on the go home to MITB as they were planning to put the belt on Liv and wanted to heat her up fast. She was even protected over Asuka and Bianca (who almost never jobs) in their matches against Control. Asuka took the pin in the tag tournament and then Bianca ate the pin in the six woman at CATC. Asuka will probably always be taken care of at least to an extent as long as she's around but I really don't know how much time she has left as a upper card player as she turns 41 in a few weeks and there's several other girls that they seem more invested in right now. Iyo now being on the main roster is another reason why I could see them not giving her as much focus in that they probably feel they have a replacement who is a decent bit younger that's as good or even better.
