Saraya can go pound sand. She does nothing for me, not in the ring or on the mic. She just has such a lackadaisical delivery it is completely off-putting.
Could also care less about Toni Storm. Her husband on the other hand . . . . Him and Jay White have been fantastic.
Give me more Layla Hirsch, Abadon, and Free Range Kara.

Watching Ruby closely, its almost like she either can't see properly or has poor depth perception. But it seems like her closing steps are always mistimed and it makes her look clumsy. I know in the Ride along they talked about her vision being so bad that she wouldn't drive. I like her, she seems genuine and I think she works her a$$ off. At the same time for a alt-punk persona, she's just flat.
Abadon to me is interesting, because she's fully invested in her character. I follow her on Twitter
because she does some really cool character work. Its also clear that she's worked her a$$ off on her fitness level. I think she's another mid card worker.
Toni Storm can flat out work, its not even a question, her work in the Mae Young Classics was awesome, and she's a natural heel. But the group she's in is just bad, its flat, its for the memes, it rips off elements from other factions that make no sense in this context.
If you want instant heel heat for her (or maybe face heat because its too late) you have her injure Saraya and end her in ring career.
Saraya, I love her story, and felt a lot of sadness when she had to walk away. But like a lot of other workers she seemed to benefit from Vince's and the WWE's strict booking and promos. When she has to do her own promo's yeah she is flat, repetitive, and comes across as almost not interested. And whether her injuries have made her fearful in the ring or not, she's nowhere near she was at her height.
I would say have her work as a trainer, but that would be a mistake, she can't teach promos and she really isn't a good enough worker to transition to trainer.
Its sad.
Jamie Hayer is going to be the big thing in that division, she's just a natural, they really should have pulled a fast trigger on a turn on Britt who is just miserable in the ring, and has taken major steps back.
