Well...

I don't think that means they're signed to guaranteed contracts

It says a lot about the way WWE look at their talent.

"Property of" shirts are pretty ordinary.

Does this mean she's signed or being groomed for NXT?

Read on Twitter

I'm guessing Vince absolutely loves her. I don't think she's the most nimble of wrestlers, but she'll make an impact (so to speak) in the WWE. Btw, did I read "the internet" right? - Impact had her shoot someone in their storyline?

As you mention...he is more a comedy clown at this point than an actual wrestler.

Miz is a transitional champion who likely was given the belt so that Lashley could establish his dominance in a title match without squashing Drew. Lashley is probably going to murder Miz at Fastlane, and this short title reign is a way to pay Miz back for taking a beating to make a guy they want to push.

That's my personal interpretation of the situation. I could certainly be wrong. WWE can be notoriously hard to predict, mostly because they often do things that are wildly irrational and illogical.

I know I thought that was pretty bad too lol. I'm wondering what they were going for
with that? That it's such an honor and privilege to be with WWE that being their property
is endearing?

Also I don't know the status of these "contracts" the recruit classes have each year. I know a lot of them never
make it to NXT or get any TV time or are still training and need seasoning.

Oh where she shot Johnny Bravo at the wedding? yeah the whole thing was comedy from the beginning with Tommy Dreamer
being the Sherlock Holmes trying to get to the bottom of it. It was absolutely cringe from start to finish lol

While the "Property of" shirts are nothing new, it's a bad look for a company with such a horrid history of worker treatment.

Grats to Molly Holly. i always liked her in her various roles. Never thought of her as a HOFer, but she likely deserves it more than some of the others they've put in there. I'm happy for her.

Badly misused talent, and has gone nowhere especially since Vega left. He should be successful elsewhere.

Could be the reason why Charlotte has been so bad the last couple of weeks.

This Hall of Fame class is God awful. Bischoff deserves it no doubt, and Kane too. But Molly Holly and Great Khali are absolutely not Hall of Famers by ant stretch of the imagination

You could sell me on Molly based off the respect she has from her peers and her role in developing talents like Lita and Trish. Khali on the other hand...I got nothing. Kinda proves my theory that eventually everyone gets in.

I'm 2 weeks behind so I don't know what exactly is going to happen, but Randy Orton in 2020 was the hottest he's been in however many years, so their response is to make him spend 4 months feuding with a 90 pound girl just to get to a heel vs heel match with The Fiend that's their 2nd Wrestlemania match and probably 2nd cinematic match? Is that really worth it? The storyline really depends on Bray talking to at least connect it to their previous feud. For once I can't blame Orton if he checks out this time. I think I'd have preferred any of these alternatives:

a) The Fiend lights Orton on fire. Orton gets a 3-4 month vacation.

b) Orton thinks the Fiend is dead for good and moves on, does some mini feud with Riddle or whatever having no idea he's in danger (maybe there's some little hints like Rambling Rabbit watching him sometime), then the Fiend makes "shock" comeback in the weeks before Wrestlemania.

c) The Eater of Worlds is unleashed now that the Fiend is gone and they face at Fast Lane or something, before The Fiend comes back for Wrestlemania

d) Orton just lights him on fire at Fast Lane or something or a random Raw in the 6-7 weeks before WM instead of starting the storyline 3 months earlier, the storyline ends up not lasting that much longer than Cena vs Wyatt 2.0.

Basically the only two requirements to get into the Hall of Fame are having been in WWE for a reasonable length of time and not having made Vince mad on the way out. And even the latter isn't a deal-breaker given a long enough time.

Pretty obvious to me that Samoa Joe is about to be All Elite

Mojo Rawley gone
