So this happened. MAN! I was there live and lost my Sh!t when I saw this. I was honored to be in the same arena as Kana. It was my first ever wrestling event live and a very good show at that. Bailey and Sasha Banks definitely stole the show and they filmed an episode of NXT before Takeover. Leva got a Blue Pants City chant. It was an amazing experience. Waiting for Shimmer to come to NYC.

May also explain why they spelled her name as "Kanna".

I guess it pays to have family in the biz. Nia Jax is apparently the cousin of the Rock.

Athena signs with WWE?Has independent wrestler Athena signed a developmental contract with WWE. Speculation coming out of Texas is that she has signed a developmental contract and will be finishing out her Indy dates soon. Just last night she wrestled the last match in her home promotion ACW wrestling and was telling fans she had “good prospects” coming up.
Best of luck to Athena!SCSI'm happy for her if it's true, but I hope she's able to do the anniversary show first.

Usually I'd be gutted to see one of my favourites leave Shimmer for the WWE, but under HHH I really do think the Women there have a chance to do something wonderful and will love to see Athena proving herself on a global stage.

That's great news if true. I'd be very happy for Athena. She's got the attitude and athleticism for sure! A couple of photos I took at the recent A.I.W. event on August 14.

That Sasha Banks/Bayley match was so freaking great, it does change the picture of how good a WWE/NXT performance can be. Whether this is the new normal is certainly a question mark. The decision to keep the belt on Nikki Bella with no tag-team belt at stake is making these team-vs-team matches not very compelling for a lot of fans.

I think maybe they are dragging this out so Nikki can break AJ's Title reign record and have her loose it to one of the much more qualified competitors soon after.

Dave Meltzer has confirmed that the WWE has signed Kana! Holy shitballs!
I've also heard that they may be signing Sarah Stock too. So an NXT roster of Bayley, KC Cassidy, Jessie McKay, Blue Pants, Kana, Athena and Sarah Stock could be on the cards. Wow.

The magic that Sasha and Kana or Becky and Athena could create would be phenomenal.

You really never can say never. NXT looking to be bigger than ever soon. Would also love to give much credit to Corey Graves for knowing his wrestling. The other 2 commentators probably would have never made a comment about Kana's or now "Kanna's" background.
