So is Ava not training to be a wrestler anymore? Thought that was the plan but it seems like she's found a better hustle and I respect it lol

From what I know about the woman, she'd had a bunch of knee surgeries before and during her time at the PC. Wrestling might not just happen for her, so let's see how things go as on-screen management.

As long as this isn't WWE's way of replacing all the McMahon Family stuff with Johnson Family stuff now that Vince is persona non grata, Rock being on the Board (being the new Vince) and Ava being a GM (being the new Stephanie).

All they would need is a new Shane (maybe Roman), a new Hunter (no idea) and maybe some Rock backstage toadies a la Patterson and Brisco (Whippleman & Gerwitz?).

That is one big Johnson……family

She was really bad in the ring and I don’t think she’s going to drastically improve so I understand pivoting into a non-wrestling role, but this has been such a weird journey lol. While she’s not outright bad in these segments so far she also just doesn’t have much presence.

Like, of course they’re going to find something for THE ROCK’s daughter to do, but when everyone else is so good these days it stands out when you’ve got someone who doesn’t have the “it” factor still getting tv time and opportunities.

She doesn't have the visible confidence of someone like an AJ Lee or even Steph just yet. I feel as if putting her in segments with Regal and Aldis this soon into her GM run illustrated this.

On the other hand, associating herself with talent who do/did well in the GM role may only benefit her. Especially if Regal or Aldis provide her some off-screen advice or tutelage about how to handle herself in these segments.

That's not to say she's dead in the water just yet. I think it's way too early to tell. The true test will be how she holds up in a heated angle like Trick/Melo, should they even need the GM to intervene or restore order.

If she doesn't show the potential to visibly or audibly assert herself toward "unruly" characters, I'm not sure if she'll be a good long-term fit. But she certainly has the right people around her.

Ava's last name seems to have been dropped too.

[schma]

So if Chelsea Green ever feels slighted in NXT is she gonna blame it on the Rayne?

Probably to make people who don't watch NXT not get confused with how close her on screen last name was close to Reigns. At least that's my theory

You’d be surprised how far “Second in command of a cult” gets you on LinkedIn.

She's absolutely awful in the ring and terrible on the mic, but she's here forever now daddy's on the board.

Hopefully she can at least get better.

She's god awful, just a waste of a space someone more talented could be in. She's the nepo hire Dom used to be, except he did actually get better.

She can't talk. She can't wrestle. She has zero charisma. But it's NXT so she's amazing or something.

[A Little Doo Doo]

Nothing but respect for MY youngest GM in history.
