Ember Moon was recently a guest on Booker T’s Hall of Fame podcast. During this, she expressed some constructive criticism for WWE’s booking.
Specifically, Ember thinks that WWE could do a better job of booking their lower card talents. This was an interesting take from someone who is actually on the WWE roster.
Here is what she said (h/t to Fightful for the quote below):
“Now, it’s weird because we only have four guys each show that we’re constantly building up despite everyone else. Occasionally, they’ll bring an Humberto [Carrillo] in, but you only see one new person in that little angle and then they disappear for awhile. It’s one of those things with the storytelling and building not just those four or five building — this goes for the girls as well — but building a [Akira] Tozawa or [Drew] Gulak, so when they do face Roman [Reigns] or Bray [Wyatt], it means something when they lose, versus them going out and having a banger of a match on Raw for no reason. Now, when I feel like I turn on the TV, when I see Drew McIntyre vs. Cedric Alexander, I don’t believe that Cedric Alexander is going to win even though he’s a phenomenal athlete and former Cruiserweight Champion. I don’t believe it because they haven’t done anything to make me care about it. He jumped off the stage once. With the roster being so big, maybe we need a rotating roster. I feel like we’ve lost that ability to tell stories with the lower card,”
Do you agree with Ember? Let me know in the comment section below.
