Major update on WWE's plans for popular star following debut SmackDown match - Reports
There has been a major update regarding WWE's plans for a popular star who wrestled her first televised SmackDown match this past Friday night. The star in question competed in the tournament to determine the inaugural Women's United States Champion but was eliminated this past Friday night on the blue brand.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful responded to a question on Select Answers today about B-Fab. The former Hit Row member competed in her first SmackDown match last week, and Sapp was asked if there were plans to utilize the 33-year-old star on WWE television moving forward.
Sapp stated that wrestlers and agents are pushing for B-Fab to get more opportunities, and her performance on SmackDown went well.
Bayley defeated B-Fab and Candice LeRae to advance in the Women's United States Championship tournament. The inaugural Women's US Champion will be crowned at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 14.
Former WWE star urges the company to give B-Fab more opportunities
AJ "Top Dolla" Francis believes B-Fab should get a chance to shine on WWE television.
Top Dolla used to be a part of Hit Row alongside the SmackDown star but was released by the company last year. The 34-year-old currently performs in TNA Wrestling and is a former Digital Media Champion.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Riju Dasgupta last year, Top Dolla praised his former stablemate as a performer. He stated that she deserved an opportunity and claimed she was one of the most talented people on the planet.
"B-Fab can do anything if they put her on TV. She can wrestle. She can talk. She can be a manager. She can be in a tag team. She can be a solo wrestler. She can do anything. She is one of the most talented people on this earth. She just has to be given a chance. Like, she has to be given a chance. That's all! They haven't even given her a chance," said the former WWE star. [From 09:30 to 09:58]
