Gotta be honest, Mace (that's the one that's Dio Madden, yeah?) actually looks kind of cool. With his mask/hair/outfit he looks like sort of a Predator/Alien combination.

I'm gonna defend the Mandy/Dana pairing a little bit. Both of them have potential, but are not ready to be in the title picture. Mandy had some fun moments with Otis, but where was it going to really go? She wasn't getting as much ring time since Sonya left. Dana and her both have a similar vibe, they can work a good pace, and this allows Mandy to primarily be a wrestler again. I actually like the pairing, and think the team could grow.
I can only hope that this group gets progressively weirder, and they can someday join the boogeyman in the mth pantheon (mtheon?).
It's not atrocious but I think we zoomed past the shit or get off the pot period with Dana. For whatever reason, they seem to be okay with doing something with her for maybe a month and then it's all gone. I've seen that 2-3 times and that just tells me that I can't really get too, too excited about her prospects going forward. Mandy, however, developed quite a bit over the last year. Yeah, she didn't get a lot of ring time but she was able to show some personality, some humor, some willingness to make herself look silly and it didn't look bad. If it's an entry point to getting Mandy acclimated to the brand, cool. If it's actually with the attempt to build them as a legit team and challenge for the titles...I don't have high hopes.
Was cool to do at the time but lost interest in it and the regime change probably played a role in it too. I remember she had a pretty decent one-off match with Charlotte too. There's upside there, for sure. Just have to stay invested in her.

Mandy Rose is going to be a top player in the woman's division sooner than later. I'm glad they've taken their time with her and she's had a great year or so with how she's developed her character.
Dana Brooke......There's no upside here. Dana, Tamina, Carmella, put them on the next bus to TNA or something, idk man.
It’s a shame Mandy could never get that real blow-off against Sonya due to real life. Definitely still upside to Mandy but tbh a lot of the credit for this goes to Sonya being the perfect foil for her. Tragically cut short storyline.
Definite credit goes to them both and this definitely breathed life into Sonya and she was knocking out the park with her promos. Hope she can get her shit sorted out quickly and return.
I agree 100%. Here's how I view those two. It reminds me of Edge & Christian. It was another vehicle for Edge to get to the main event, just like The Brood. Coming out of that split though I think Christian really shined and made that feud better than what it might've been had he been more of a Jim Neidhart/Marty Jannetty character.
I see the same with Mandy and Sonya. It feels like with Mandy it's the trio (Absolution), then it's the tag-team. Now it's the split where she's the babyface but her heel underrated former BFF delivers above and beyond proving herself just as beneficial.
If Mandy doesn't go on to be a multi-time women's champion then there must be something seriously wrong with the booking. Sonya's future, I hope she deals with everything in a way that brings her back because she most definitely could be a major player as well. We have 2 Shawn's, no Marty's lol
