I actually made a tweet about this in 2022, explaining my theory about why Sasha Banks’s reigns were always short. She was constantly challenging the status quo. Those shorter reigns coincided with her repeatedly being positioned to have big matches and headline major shows, from the first women’s HIAC match, Ironman match, and FCA match to the WrestleMania 37 main event.
Her 6 world title reigns combined are shorter than a single reign from a handful of other women, but many of those lengthy reigns pale in comparison in terms of significance because every time Sasha was champion, there was sustained fan pressure to see her in big matches and marquee feuds during the PPV cycles. That’s why Sasha was a problem to them.

With respect to Chelsea Green, (who I actively like) they see her as somebody who’s likeable, popular, and an overachieving talent with a knack for making chicken shit turn into chicken salad…but nobody in the world would argue she should main event Summer Slam, and I think WWE takes comfort in that. It doesn’t challenge the status quo or top of the card. She doesn’t put them in position to go “fuck, we should probably close with this..how is Roman gonna take that..”

The 4HW era had already dramatically shifted the pay ceiling for a top woman in wrestling. Mercedes going to AEW broke the ceiling altogether.
There’s a reason the women of that era and their immediate successors (Iyo, Rhea, Bianca) stopped being positioned as main event level.

We had 12 women wrestle on the All Out card, the Tag match was a top 2 match of the night, Dani Luna has arrived, every match got decent time and the women were booked in solid spots through the card even without Mercedes wrestling.
All Elite Women!

Mercedes says one thing for fun in a promo and it has the entire smackdown women’s locker room in an uproar for weeks she’s really the center of the wrestling world 🤣

the girls in #that locker room leaked fake stories about Mercedes to dirtsheets… so she has every right to shade them whenever she feels like it

• Willow is 2-1 against Mercedes
• Willow was the one to end Mercedes's historic TBS title reign
• Willow was the one who delivered this nasty humiliation ritual to Mercedes
Willow has tormented Mercedes. It's time for Mercedes to get actual, proper payback on Willow.
I thought that the Willow Nightingale live segment was phenomenal wrestling television.
Her crowd connection is undeniable, and it’s primarily because of said connection that this upcoming Mercedes matchup feels BIG. It doesn’t come off prelim and in one angle the bout has a ton of stakes and juice. Willow is THE babyface of this promotion, a stadium sized babyface and I think she should retain at Wembley.

It literally has, y’all are just dumb and needs things to be explained to you by commentary 10 times per show.
No more dance, no more silly manners… she’s more serious, more vicious, more focused, you can easily see that by the way she wrestles.

i kind of hate how weird mercedes fans are … yall will openly advocate for this woman to be back in a place where she was ridiculed, had fake stories made about her, was faced with micro aggressions left and right, and was undermined just for the sake of a cheap pop :/ girl bye

Mercedes didn't start with wwe until September 2012. Whereas Kendal has been paid to do nothing but train everyday and learn with some of the best trainers, in the best facilities, in the world. Both are amazing at what they do. This just doesn't feel like an honest comparison
purposely acting dense
just because someone had a successful run on paper that doesn't mean they're incapable of being fumbled on several occasions

She was the most over act in the company, had her name chanted during matches she’s wasn’t even involved in and was used to make the audience cheer the guy the old man wanted push. They should have pushed her to the moon, not used her just to put over less talented people.
