much like how the 4HW era had the Divas era looking antiquated... the current NXT crop coming up right now got that Alexa/Carmella crop looking undercooked.
Which makes sense. You had the women from the Divas era who were able to transition and ride one era into another. Beth, Natalya, Naomi. But most of their generation all got weeded out - once the workrate floor moved up, a lot of them hos drowned.
Kinda crazy to consider that, technically-speaking... Alexa and Carmella are from the same NXT generation as Kana and Kairi. And just like before - the workrate floor has risen. As has the character-work ceiling. And as much as I think there's utility for some of the talkers like Alexa and Carmella to come lend their speaking services to people... their time in-ring is done.
Kelani has barely been wrestling for a year and ol girl is lapping both these women in-ring while moonwalking. Sol was doing stuff injured that Alexa couldn't have conceived of on her best day. And the time when being blonde with implants could carry you seems long, long over. Even the blondes outchea learning Northern Lights Suplex transitions and light jiujitsu.
HBK fell in love with light-brown women with ringlets, and it's all over now
