Divas Era 2 coming - WWE focusing on looks for new women signings

[Smart Marx]

Sasha and Belair were the main event of night 1. It counts.

Both known for their major indie runs

If this is directed at me, I said nothing about being an indie star. Someone said they didn't main event, I was correcting that.

Though, Sasha was on the indies for 2 years prior to WWE. Just not a big company like ROH or MLW.

 

[Smart Marx]

I don't count that as an actual main event, though.

I was replying to this.

I'd say counting the three horsewomen outside of Charlotte from the Indies a massive stretch.

Counting Sasha is probably a stretch.

Becky and Bayley are definitely "from the indies."

 

[Smart Marx]

I’d say Becky Lynch was the most accomplished indie star of the Horsewoman. She performed all over the world and on many decent sized indies including Shimmer when it was basically a sister of ROH.

The others not so much.

Gigi Dolin had a bigger indie presence than any Horsewomen.

 

[Smart Marx]

I never saw her perform so I'll take you word for it, but Becky was definitely a legit indie star.

I was actually a huge fan of hers years before WWE. One of the few "Revolution" women I knew when they signed her.

 

[Jimmy King]

Bayley and Becky were definitely indie stars before signing with WWE. Bayley has brought it up before in interviews and I believe Becky has as well.

 

[Dale]

It's just however you view it I guess. Maybe if they were just coming in today I would view it different but I very much consider them PC/NXT projects.

Becky was on the indies for 8 years before WWE. That's an indie star lol. She was on the indies the same amount of time as guys like Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Cesaro, Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan

 

[Deezy]

You had to be reddit level obsessed with indie to know who Becky Lynch was.....can't even remember her OG name.

People who just follow the surface of rasslin knew who Steen, Generico, Claudio, Tyler Black and Bryan Danielson were. lol

^^ Becky's original name in the indies was Rebecca Knox from 2005-2012 before getting signed.
