Someone described this earlier perfectly.....this is just the bella twins schtick. And if Saraya did pitch this then I feel even more sorry for Toni getting sucked into this.
I never thought of it that way, but yes. It's the Bella Twins shtick. It reeks of Divas-era WWE characterization and booking in a lot of ways, along with carrying some TNA stink to go with it.
Well Madison is the producer/coach of the division and u know she was in the Beautiful People, also worked in TNA creative when the Dollhouse existed.

Only thing worse than The Bellas would be if Angelina and Velvet appear.

I've been amused by Toni and Saraya's antics lately, but yeah, even I have to admit that segment was awful. If any of that was Saraya's idea, hoo boy. It was nice hearing her say "baybeh guhl" again, though.

It was nice hearing her say "baybeh guhl" again, though. Toni has to study Jacy's tapes and work on her L's. The passion just isn't there and the positioning of the L is off. It's too centered, gotta be more off to the side.

It's more an invasion storyline than a Bella Twins/Diva's Era shtick tbh, I think that's a huge overreaction Was the segment good this week? Coulda been better, but this shit's really just starting to develop. The Spraypainting things been done by several factions through decades, this is just their version of it, whether peeps like it or not is a different story, but them attacking women backstage and humiliating them is just setting up how they roll, while other girls in AEW are looking to fight back Shida, Ruby, Britt, and Hayter, among others, will really add more meat to this storyline, they just need to move it along. I don't think a 20 some second segment has killed this forever.

Saraya and Storm should throw a pie at someone, that’ll make everyone’s heads explode in confusion at how to react to that.

That segment was hilarious in that only Saraya looked in any way comfortable in their role. Toni was awkward and Blue Pants’ selling and acting were atrocious.

Toni and Saraya come off like a weird Frankenstein’s monster of the Bellas, The Beautiful People, and early Outsiders.
It’s just strange.

Surely someone could've come up with a much better idea than "Saraya and Toni beat someone up because her name starts with an L."

Didn’t the Bellas do literally the same thing to Paige in a storyline, spray paint and all?

Was possibly the worst segment from the two yet...and only behind Marina's promo for worst of all time for me (i've permanently forced myself to forget the nightmare collective)...This whole heel turn isn't it for Saraya and Toni

Why? What’s the difference, what’s the whole thing about? Them Vs “the homegrown” women, as has been mentioned. But, I get the issue is, they don’t want to directly acknowledge that because, well, let’s be honest - You’re acknowledging their history with the ‘E. So: They either keep pussyfooting around what the difference is (until ideally they find their “own identity”) or you be straight up with it. Which, I get the feeling they won’t.

I feel like them coming in and feeling they're superior to the women who were already in AEW is easy to do without mentioning being in WWE, especially given they both have a pedigree outside that company too I think it being ego driven works ok if they dont go the WWE route
