WTH is Tony Khan doing with Sasha Banks aka Mercedes?

[Silkk]

You mean that obvious plant lol and I’m supposed to be the retarded one?

Like I said, when have the sickos ever told MJF to shut the fukk up during one of his promos?

I actually know what it means to be neutral so first 30 seconds here

MJF is able to shrug it off and continue with his promo though. You could tell Sasha was caught off guard. But we’ll see how she handles it the next few weeks.

I have no dog in this fight but two things can be true at the same time, she can be getting heel heat but she also has some go away heat with that which has basically accelerated what was looking like a slow burn into fully turning heel

stephanie vaquer is not that big of a name to justify an arena of fans being 100% behind her as an outsider vs mercedes who is supposed to be the biggest star in the whole company

she's always been a polarizing figure with that demographic of fans so it was a matter of time before they eventually turned especially when she's playing a babyface which she has historically always been weak as, it was brewing from the moment she said she'd be back in wwe one day before debuting and the creative control comments that people are running with is just yet another thing they're latching onto to justify the hatred

I don’t think “go away” heat is a real thing in the industry. I think the IWC decided it meant something because xpac or whoever was getting it. and has been running with it ever since.

Go away heat is no reaction at all

She was getting the same heat that Cody was getting. She just had the balls to go back at them, Same thing Rock did leading up to WM, and Danielson did for a little bit when he came in.

Cody just wanted to be loved too much even though he is an AMAZING heel.

Jericho most definitely has go away heat

Define go away heat and how it hurts the business in 2024

He comes out and MFs go away to get concessions or go away to another tv channel

But that's not heat though.

 

[Silkk]

But that's not heat though.

He gets it from the ones who have to stay and sit through it as well

And I only mean the last few months. I think his AEW run has been really good for the most part.

I thought Sasha was already a heel or heel adjacent. She comes off as smarmy and the CEO moniker screams heel to me. What little I have seen of Sasha in AEW does not resemble a babyface character.

 

[Rayzah]

She is better as a heel especially with the CEO gimmick. Nobody likes a CEO especially in wrestling. She is also coming off like a diva, like she is better than everyone. Her being booed is a good thing imo because right now Toni Storm is the only one doing good character work on the women’s side. They need someone the crowd is passionate about

 

[The G.O.D II]

Is she a heel now? Or did fans just turn against her?

 

[KFBF]

[prophecypro]

I wonder if there’s envy in the locker room to her or is that too predictable and people know better

Lmao bro it's women in the locker room, she came in and won 2 belts immediately and she's going around talking about being the GOAT and the highest paid women's wrestler ever what the fukk do you think?
They would be jealous even without all that extra shyt
