A match took place in the cold vacuum of space tonight.

Or at least that's certainly what that women's tag match sounded like. WrestleMania 36 had more noise from the crowd than that.

What do people see in Tegan Nox?

I mean, she seems likable, puts in work, has had some bad luck... But maaaaaan she just feels so slow and uncoordinated.

If Tegan Nox fell over in the woods and ten thousand people saw it, would they make a sound?

I wish people saw how good she was before her knees got destroyed. She was one of their fastest rising stars in NxT before bad luck.

I've seen Tegan Nox at WCPW shows when she was Nixon Newell, and you could tell that one day she would make it to the WWE, she had great babyface energy and could work. But 8 years down the line and multiple blown out and surgically repaired knees, she wrestles at 0.5x speed.

It’s bananas she’s as broken down as she is already considering she’s not even 30.

What do you do with half these women? Nobody wants them on TV because it’s awkward when they wrestle to silence, but there’s nothing else that can be done if that will ever change because most of them are never booked on the house shows, so they can’t get reps there. And taking them OFF TV won’t get them more over, that’s for sure.

I'm going to make a Tegan Nox thread in a bit but yeah man, I just don't know. I actually like her but it is amazing how much every single crowd doesn't give a damn about her and natalya. You're not even hearing the one or two people go WOOOOO, there's just... nothing. Absolutely nothing. She's slow but still has a neat and high flying moveset which should have helped her but I'd say she is less over than Conway ever was.

I think they really need to do more in the way of giving them, like... Personalities and things worth caring about. In terms of characters, all I can tell you about Tegan is that her knees are bad and all I can tell you about Natalya is that she's related to Bret. There's kind of a reason why even though she got squashed in two seconds Chelsea got a lot more of a reaction than the people who squashed her did since at least she has stuff to latch onto going for her while the most I can tell you on Zoey is, "Uh, she turned face because Trish was snippy with her? I think she's face? She seems to fight faces a lot so I dunno."

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

NXT legit does a much better job at giving the midcard women personalities and feuds with some level of animosity behind them. We just rarely see that on the main roster. Almost everything revolves around the titles and very rarely do we something that would get the crowd invested in the likes of Tegan. Matches and video packages are important. But there needs to be more of a creative focus on that section of the division or else this will keep happening week after week.

It's the vicious cycle faced by most of the AEW women's division, too.

As for Tegan, she was getting better responses when she was facing Chelsea, because Chelsea's character is really easy for others to play off.

1000% this.

At one point I thought her and Dakota could be the blood feud that would carry the women's division going forward (akin to Sami and Kevin Owens on again off again thing).

I was listening to Vinny of Bryan & Vinny review an episode of Raw of his new solo show. To put it lightly, he's not a fan of Indi Hartwell and he decided to see if she got better being out on the road on the main roster and concluded she hadn't.

The problem is she hasn't been on the road with the main roster. She hasn't done one single house show since being called up. How is she supposed to get better when all she gets is a 3 minute tag match once a month on Raw.

I loved that fued. I hadn’t long started watching Nxt at that time & it was one of the things that hooked me

Giving them personalities and characters for starters. Like what is the difference between Candice LeRae and Tegan Nox? Or Kayden and Katana? Zoey Stark? They’re all the same bland “I wrestle good” girls who just exist to have heatless tag team matches.

At least Chelsea Green stands out, even if she’s not technically the best, she gets the best reactions by having a funny personality.

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

Maybe once Dakota is healed they could run that back again, talk about the history of it and play off how much Dakota injured her previously.

Tegan could get the rub from going against one of Damage CTRL's members and it would explain to the crowd why she may seem awkward out there. You run the risk of people cheering Dakota over Tegan cause people love them the joshis but any reaction would help and it would do wonders for building a character yeah?
