So today we’ll be getting into some stories with Mandy Rose, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Jeff
Hardy, and more
Let’s start things off with the this whole situation between Alexa Bliss and Mandy Rose,
how did that get started?
Well it got started after WWE posted the latest teaser from from Eva Marie where Eva referred
to herself as a “super role model”
Bayley quoted the tweet from WWE about Eva Marie’s quote and said:
“This is why I hate you idiots”
Eva Marie also posted a tweet with the hashtag of “super role model” and Bayley also
responded to that tweet and said “or super dumb”
So why is Bayley reacting like this?
Well Bayley is reacting like this because Bayley has been calling herself WWE’s biggest
role model since the beginning of last year
Bayley has had merchandise with that name and everything else.
Even when sasha and Bayley won all the gold last year, they were even called the “golden
role models”
So all the variations of the “role model” nickname belonged to Bayley
Now Eva Marie is coming back and WWE seems to have given her this nickname of “super
role model”, so that’s why Bayley called WWE idiots as well, likely because they gave
away her nickname to Eva Marie
But the drama didn’t stop there.
Mandy Rose jumped in on the conversation and called out Alexa Bliss for stealing the “goddess”
nickname from her as well
Mandy had this to say on twitter:
“Do they just think by adding “Super” in front of it is what makes it different?”
“Just like when they made someone a “Goddess” when a “Golden Goddess” already existed.
Shaking my head”
Eva Marie even responded to Mandy and Bayley said that the WWE universe deserves an upgrade
Alexa Bliss was of course the individual that Mandy Rose was talking about without mentioning
her name
But Alexa still saw the tweet and responded to Mandy by saying this
“I’m gonna spare you for this one...
Mandy Rose ...throw your own pity party”
So this opened up a massive argument and discussion amongst the fans about who was the original
goddess in WWE
Mandy Rose was nicknamed the “golden goddess” towards the start of her NXT run in 2015 - 2016
Alexa started to be called the goddess shortly after she arrived on Raw around 2017 - 2018
But then some fans brought up the fact that Ember Moon had the “goddess” nickname
for her entire career, so it just turned into this big mess of all the fans talking about
who the original one was
So Eva Marie stealing the role model name from Bayley caused all of this discussion
with the goddess nickname to happen
But we’ll see if WWE actually uses any of this social media discussion amongst the superstars
and uses it for future storylines because they tend to do that from time to time as
well
So we’ll see if all this ever comes in handy for Eva vs Bayley or Mandy vs Alexa down the
line.

So let’s briefly talk about Jeff Hardy again
We talked about Jeff Hardy a few weeks ago when he went trending for fans just recalling
the amazing career that he has had over the last few decades
Jeff hasn’t been seen in months, but with everyone talking about him again, fans wondered
if that would be enough for WWE to use him again
And that prediction was correct.
Jeff Hardy appeared on raw this week for the first time in months but not in the fashion
that everyone expected
Jeff Hardy came out basically as an enhancement talent for the returning Jinder Mahal
It’s great to have Jinder Mahal back as well, no doubt about that, but fans questioned
WWE’s logic here
Obviously the idea they were going for was that Jinder Mahal defeated the legendary Jeff
Hardy on Raw and that would be a big deal for his return
But like a lot of fans pointed out, beating Jeff Hardy still feels like an empty win,
it’s not impressive because of how Jeff has been treated lately
He hasn’t been seen in months and his last singles win was back in January, so what are
you really accomplishing by pinning Jeff Hardy?
If Jeff was consistently on Raw, if he had a lot of momentum and wins under his belt
in recent weeks then Jinder Mahal defeating him would be a completely different story
That would’ve been an actual impressive win for Jinder
But Jinder beating Jeff Hardy who hasn’t been seen in months and hasn’t won a match
in months, did feel a bit flat
Obviously, everyone knows that younger talent is always going to be priority over the older
talent.
The older talent is already established, you have to continue to build up the new talent
But fans were just bit disheartened to see what Jeff Hardy has turned out to be on raw
Rumors and questions of this being a possible punishment or sign that his contract is expiring
soon also started to pop up
But new reports claim that Jeff Hardy has 2 years left on his deal
Remember that Jeff had a big knee injury a few years ago and his contract during that
time was reportedly frozen due to his injury
So that played a factor back then as well
Fans have also brought up the idea that maybe they’re waiting for the fans to return to
truly put Jeff Hardy back on track
Jeff Hardy is excited for the fans to return and has even promised to bring back his “no
more words” theme song as soon as he’s in front of a live crowd again
So we’ll have to see if Jeff Hardy’s usage improves over the next few months
they were using him in a great fashion last year
They have those video packages building to his return, the bar fight with Sheamus, car
accident situation with Elias, and so much more
So we’ll see if Jeff Hardy can get back involved in some storyline the same way he
was in 2020

It seems like a Fake Vince McMahon story was cancelled for the throwback addition of Smackdown
This story comes from Pat McAfee himself
Pat had this to say on the cancelled plans during his show:
“On Friday, to commit to a bit of being Vince McMahon on SmackDown Throwback, I was
bullied into shaving my face.
Michael Cole was one of the leaders of that bullying.
I thought it was Be A Star.”
“Michael Cole goes, ‘You could commit and shave your face.’
Cole had an awesome look as well, which didn’t make it to air.
He had the frosted tips and he committed to 1999 Michael Cole.”
“We had the wig, which was too small for my head and it felt like my forehead was in
a rear-naked choke.
We had the suit, the tie, I wore dress shoes for the first time.
A lot of people in WWE were like, ‘this is awesome.
We’ll remember this and you doing it for the character and the bit.’
“I shaved, it looked terrible.
I got makeup on, we shot a bunch of stuff, I did an entire Vince McMahon thing.
Immediately following, literally, as soon as I walked off-screen, Foxy gets a text from
someone that works at WWE [saying] ‘hang tight.’
I go, ‘Oh, Vince is coming?’
No, that’s not the case.
They come out and everything has been canceled.”
“I walk back into the building and everyone who was motivating me to shave my face, they
heard about what happened, and were like, ‘Sorry, so sorry, it’ll grow back.’
Four days!
Nothing!”
“I was watching film.
I didn’t think I did enough research before Friday, but once I got to Friday, it hit me.
‘I’m Vince McMahon, on Vince’s show, in front of Vince.’
Vince doesn’t like that type of stuff.
He doesn’t like acknowledgment or to be thanked by people or mentioned by people.”
“I was excited.
I thought there was a chance we do something magical and all of a sudden…it’s over.”
Pat also revealed that they even had cameramen following him all day long for his transformation
into becoming Vince McMahon:
So yeah, maybe that entire last second cancellation experience was new to Pat, but it’s definitely
not new to the superstars and fans
We’re numb and used to things getting changed or cancelled at the last second, it’s basically
a tradition for all WWE shows
So it’s no surprise that they had something exciting building up and then it got completely
cancelled, we’ve seen that happen time and time again, so we all know that feeling
But what they were doing with Pat does sound like it would’ve been interesting
He literally would’ve been Vince McMahon for the night
Obviously footage of all this was recorded, pat hinted at the fact they filmed a lot of
things for his portrayal of Vince McMahon, so we just have to wait and see if any of
that footage ever gets released down the line
