Man uh...Tegan really came out to no reaction. Then again that's pretty much the story of her career. Because I struggle to think of a moment where she was ever over in WWE. To be fair her entire main roster career was like a 1 month period where she had multiple matches against Natalya and Tamina. It's unlikely anyone would get over in such a short time facing Natalya. Right. This is a clean slate for her and a chance to get over separate from NXT and her little flirtation with the main roster. She needs to stay healthy, but she has just as much of a chance as anybody else on that show right now.

F***, that was quick. Should probably learn by now that “returning imminently” is code for “THEY’RE IN THE GODDAMN HOUSE ABOUT TO ENTER”. I'm surprised Regal didn't also show up on SD.

Like 99% of the time SRS reports that people are showing up imminently, it happens that night. He’s good like that.

Plus them needlessly taking away her first name because of Vince's odd fixation with single-name wrestlers.

She was def someone I saw coming back eventually
Just a matter of her staying healthy but she fits well into a tag team. If you need to go outside the box, you can dig more into trying to make "Lade Kane" a character

Does she pass the “I was upset that she got canned, but I don’t think she’s worth bringing back” test? I'm glad she's back but I would also say that we should wait and see before we set expectations for her during this run. She's had a lot of leg injuries and hasn't worked in forever. She's going to be rusty and still figuring out what her body can do so it may take time for her to find her groove.

In fairness if she came out to a thunderous ovation I would be legitimately confused. She's got a ton of potential but her knee injuries always hinder her progress. I really hope she can stay healthy and get a fair shot at getting over. (even if HHH did botch the Dakota vs. Tegan feud in NXT something fierce)She's had a lot of chances to get over and never has. It's pretty clear that she's someone the audience is never going to get behind. But it’s okay that she’s back, right?

Like she can be a warm body in the division but she's someone I realistically don't think will ever be headlining a PPV or winning a singles title, because she has no real defining personality traits outside of liking Kane, which...probably isn't the best gimmick to have considering how much he's shown his ass over the past couple of months.

Not sure it’s good to have your top female heel group get sent packing twice in one week.
But hey, I’m not “Papa H.”

Not sure it’s good to have your top female heel group get sent packing twice in one week. But hey, I’m not “Papa H.” It's not a good idea, and its something that happens almost constantly with Damage CTRL. And then people wonder why they don't get much of a reaction from the audience. It's because they get ran off by pretty much everyone on the roster. And lose all of their big matches. It's utterly insane how badly Damage CTRL has been botched, and Triple H isn't even bothering to course correct, instead doubling down on this garbage. It feels like he is intentionally burying the group at this point for some petty reason. As for Tegan, other than being a warm body for the SD Women's Division, she really doesn't add much, because we all know she isn't beating Ronda, and I can't imagine their match would be very good either considering Ronda has looked absolutely terrible and checked out of it for months now.

Looks like she got her first name back too? I think hers they never took away. They called the team Shotzi & Nox but I think they still called her Tegan Nox. Could be mistaken.

Hoping her knees cooperate this time around. She's had so many ACL tears in such a short amount of time. And speaking from personal experience, they are NOT fun to recover from/cope with.

It’s also funny that between the whiff Tegan did tonight, and Kaito Kiyomiya’s knee hop version he does, Keiji Mutoh still has the best Shining Wizard in wrestling at almost 60 and with a lower body made of metal.
Is it really that hard of a move to do?

I remember when Gregory Helms did a goddamn kneeling enzuigiri and they called it a shining wizard Good lord I just saw the one Nox did on Smackdown. What the hell was that,

She had a great street fight with Dakota in NXT after Kai's betrayal. That was really the only time i think anyone was really invested in her. I think the injuries have pretty much stunted her career thus far. Was that the one that got ruined by Raquel for no apparent reason and then they just never gave Tegan a good enough payoff from it?

Wow for somebody who will apparently never get over, she’s sure getting some strong negative reactions on here! Good lord.
I’m glad she’s back. I’ve always been invested in her story. She’s been plagued with some injuries but it would’ve been weird for me to write off a woman in her mid 20’s as she was at the time. Happy for her to finally be back.
She’s also the first Welsh wrestler to be called to the main roster*
