On the April 15 edition of NXT we saw the debut of the #TotalDiva Dana Brooke. In her debut match she took on Blue Pants.
Despite getting “you can’t wrestle” chants form the NXT crowd she dominated the match and picked up the win. I for one was impressed and I saw something special in her from the moment her music hit. With Dana Brooke being a former fitness competitor I think it’s smart on WWE’s part that they may be using her as a “powerhouse” diva with a sexual side. If they do this she can appeal to tons of fans. Sure the crowd may have not reacted to her well on her first appearance but I feel with more training and matches she’ll win everyone over. It may be to early saying this but I think Dana Brooke is going to be a force to be reckon with and a future champion.
What did you guys think of Dana Brooke? Are you already a fan or do you need more time to decide? I know I’m excited to see what’s next for her
