Love her or hate her, The Red Queen is here to stay. Is she the best wrestler? No, not even close. The best talker? No again. Does she have a ton of charisma? Strike three. But that doesn’t seem to make the WWE’s confidence in her budge one inch. Let’s call it what it is, she’s an absolute goddess with a look that screams superstar. She’s a head-turner and she makes it very difficult to change the channel when she’s in the ring. That alone is what keeps her relevant.
Currently off television for violating the WWE’s Talent Wellness Policy in August, she should be returning to SmackDown Live very soon. Before her suspension she was working a gimmick where she made continued excuses as to why she couldn’t wrestle at the very minute her match was about to begin. Believe it or not, the angle was working. It made perfect sense. The reality TV princess finds her way out of her matches based on either lack of confidence in her skill or the fact that she thinks she’s too good for her opponent. Either way, it works.
When she comes back we’ll see if she keeps up that act or if she goes in a different direction. But for now, while on the shelf and never really having much success inside the squared circle, she sits dead last.
