The teaming of Layla and Summer Rae is WWE’s attempt at a new version of LayCool, which was a team made famous by Michelle McCool and Layla. WWE is reportedly running with the Summer Rae and Layla team because The Beautiful People are back in TNA.

SummerSlam Booking Nearly Finished

This year’s SummerSlam PPV is said to be “75% booked,” with match finishes already in place. It’s being said the WWE creative team is booking backwards to Battleground, which is an end-to-start approach to this summer’s storytelling.

... why?

The Beautiful People were the only stable I remember in recent years that were so bad they had X-Pac heat. Why would you want to compete with that?

Although Summer Rae and Layla are the better looking duo. Velvet Sky is hot as fuck, but Angelina Love looks like Dog The Bounty Hunter's wife if she had liposuction.

They already had their version of LayCool, it was called the BFFs with Summer and Sasha Banks. This is stupid.

This is typical WWE'ness. It's Vince's way of saying fuck you guys I can do it too.   

Technically unrelated, but:

If Vince wants to 'do it too' and copy TNA, he should bring in a Gillberg-esque version of Bobby Lashley. It'd be funny if done right, and it gives Rusev another opponent to squash, since Triple H likes reliving his Booker T feud through Rusev.

But of course, WWE only publicly acknowledges TNA .01% of the time, so that won't happen.

To end on a relevant note, TBP suck. Stop with the Mean Girls shit; it epitomizes the reasons why people don't take women's wrestling in mainstream promotions seriously. I legitimately used to use their promos as time for a bathroom break. It's just starting to get back some credibility thanks to NXT mostly signing GOOD female wrestlers, who are slowly being brought up to the main roster. Don't fuck this up with more LayCool (which only worked the first time because both wrestlers were great, but I still hated their promos) / Bella Twins / TBP bullshit.

This is probably the most accurate thing in the history of things.

And Sara Del Rey's head Diva trainer for WWE (wish she would do a couple of matches for NXT though, I miss the Royal Butterfly).

^ That explains A LOT. I hope it continues to mean good things for women's wrestling. A stereotype high school bitch mentality stable, however, does not.
