I haven't watched the segment(s) in full, just the clips that the WWE posted on youtube, but color me interested by what happened on tonights episode of Monday Night Raw.

So anyway's Paige returned tonight, interrupting a fatal four way match between Alicia Fox, Mickie James, Bayley and Sasha Banks, however she didn't come alone, as both Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville made their Raw debut, attacking the competitors in the match. Afterwards the group ran into Alexa Bliss and took her out as well, or rather Alexa cut them off when Renee Young was trying to interview them, and received an ass kicking for it.

I was looking forward to Paige's return, but now I'm even more intrigued with this partnership, she seems to have with Rose and Deville. I just hope this isn't a repeat from when Charlotte, Sasha and Becky made their way to the main roster, as in a three way group feud (Paige/Rose/Deville, Bliss/Fox/Jax, James/Banks/Bayley).

It's a shame that they're already assigned to a brand and not doing a free agent kind of deal considering how long Paige was gone and how Mandy and Sonya just came up from NXT.

To build intrigue on where they will be, you could have had them show up on SmackDown tomorrow and attack Charlotte, Becky, Carmella and Naomi, and if James were still with the company, him too.

With the heel trifecta debuting on RAW this week, that kinda lowers the chance for a debut for The Iconic Duo on Smackdown anytime soon. But who knows, really?

Kinda shocked Sonya and Mandy (FROM WHERE?) were called up before the likes of Ember, Ruby, and the Iconic Duo, though. Where the hell did she come from?

I will say that Paige returning is a good thing as it freshens up the division, but I wonder how they're gonna handle Asuka. They're likely gonna treat her as a side show spectacular while Paige runs amok on the girls with her new sorority sisters.

-EDIT-

She needs to go light on the make-up and lipstick, though. She looked like a clown.

At this point, I don’t think I’m stretching when I go on to say that Paige is gonna be the one to defeat Asuka.

Dana was looking extra orange in that episode. And Asuka mocking her taunt was just amazing! I hope Asuka mocks Sasha or Bayley soon.

My dream match is to see Bayley get beaten up badly by Asuka. She just isn't the same Bayley we saw on NXT and I don't really care to see her get beat up. I even chuckled when she got pinned by Tamina during the SS match.

Mandy debuting is even more weird than Dana debuting whenever she did. She's had like what... 2 NXT matches on TV? I mean, I'm sure she's been in the PC and doing the FL House loop... but that seems odd. I'm always eager to read spoilers to see if they're actually gonna use her. Hope she's ready. Or perhaps she went to Raw because they released Summer. Her entrance is basically Summer Rae's better looking sister.

Hopefully they get booked better than Undisputed which kinda fizzled out after their debut. Of course they're probably just filler until Asuka beats Bliss at WM...

Paige looked like The Joker last night. i couldnt stop staring at that damn red lipstick...

Alexa x Paige. Quinn & Mrs. J. Future Fan Fic Potential...

That said I'm happy she's back. Got a nice pop for her theme.

Paige's face was way too white last night but it was good to see her back. I am stunned that they called up Daria and Mandy. I would have rather them call up Iconic or even Nicki Cross/Ruby Riot to compliment Paige. It makes zero sense to me and Sonya/Daria looked so green last night. At least Mandy looked somewhat credible.

Mandy and Sonya debuting was a surprise but makes me more interested in Paige than I would have been if she came back solo. Intrigued to see how Mandy (who I've liked since Tough Enough) and Sonya perform...I haven't seen much of Sonya's work, but I Mandy's match with Ember was pretty impressive.

Part of me thinks how Paige being allies with Emma and Summer Rae would've been a good story route if they hadn't been released, but on the other hand, at least this is something different than just 'NXT alliance' - there's the aspect of Paige being a mentor of sorts to these two on Tough Enough.


I can't help but wonder if anything will ever become of Dana's career... Her protege role under Charlotte was terribly botched and I really don't think there's much interest in her from management. It's a bit of a shame because character-wise the potential is there...but Summer and Emma were two great characters and look what happened to them.
