- Sasha Banks was reportedly sore coming out of her WWE NXT "Takeover: Brooklyn" match with new NXT Women's Champion Bayley but she is not injured.
- We noted before that WWN Live's Gabe Sapolsky and Sal Hamaoui attended Takeover as guests of WWE. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that no deal has been reached between the two promotions but WWE is serious about the talks.
- WWE officials have had discussions about introducing an actual person as The Wyatt Family's Sister Abigail.
Sister Abigail is a retarded idea. They'd have to bring in Oscar winning writers and actresses to keep that from being cringe worthy.
The Family would also lose even more mystique.
Let her stay dead.
If they did bring her back, she absolutely COULD NOT be an active competitor. She'd need to be an old woman for it to work AT ALL.
It's horrible for a lot of reasons. If they're hellbent on adding a woman to the family then fuck it, whatever. But make it some random convert. Not Abigail.
Indoctrinate Lana. Have the family decimate Ziggler.

I remember people throwing around the idea of Paige as Sister Abigail a while back. I am so glad that never happened. My God, I am so glad that never happened...
I keep telling ya .. The WWE are not as high on Sasha as they should be man. It really sucks because she's the closest to a complete package they have ... Much more so than any of the hags in PCP (Though Becky is alright comparatively).
Sasha is gonna get the DB treatment ... but she's not going to get the kind of fan response from the casuals that DB got because she won't even be put in any major storyline. Putting her with Naomi was the death knell.
You know what that idea could actually work with Bo Dallas as a cross dresser. However, we all know that they are not capable of booking that right and Vince will turn that into a worthless joke in no time. Imagine how good it can be if Bo portrays a character who whenever he snaps becomes a psychotic cross dresser (Sis Abigail). He finally reaches a point where he fully becomes his psychotic self. His current character is a joke anyway and this could actually benefit him in the long run.
If they're gonna try and do a Sister Abigail type thing, they need to bring in an outside actress and not a wrestler, look at LU, they got an actor in to play Dario, and it's awesome, if Abigail's not gonna wrestle, get someone with acting ability, it's the only way it's not going to be a disaster.
Leva Bates is an insanely talented and engaging star on the indies. Anyone who has heard her Greg DeMarco Show appearances knows that she’s knowledgeable of character development, and anyone who has seen her perform knows that she can take on any role. Her background in cosplay has carried over into her wrestling, and could easily carry over into the role of Sister Abigail.
Leva hasn’t spent any time in the WWE Performance Center, but she lives in Orlando—where she, appropriately enough, is a character actress for Universal Studios.
I once said that if Leva had been brought in to play the part of Claire Lynch, the character could be a TNA Knockout today. Of course, that went to a completely different character actress from Universal Studios!
I'd also like them to expand / work in some real life stuff to explain away Husky Harris and Bo Dallas. Having Sister Abigail be a former/older wrestler would work for that. Could also explain away Mika Rotunda as Sister Abigail - if they go that route.
Have Wyatt beat up and abduct Bo Dallas. Dallas debuts a while later as a Wyatt. Brays cuts a promo before or after the beatdown stating:
1) That Bo is his brother.
2) That their dad is IRS. WWE legend.
3) That they were left alone / ignored most of their childhood because dad was on the road. Nobody was there for them.
4) Bo adjusted by trying to be popular, trying to be a jock. Bray never quite fit in.
5) Until he met 'Sister Abigail' - a woman who knew his father and knew Bray's pain. Offered him guidance.
6) When Bray had completed his 'education' from Abigail, she set him free (like he set Harper free).
7) Bray tried WWE, one last attempt at connecting with family legacy. Tried to be like his brother, tried to be the happy-go-lucky athlete and that it failed. Sending him back into Abigail's arms and ushering in his ascendance.
8) Bo failed here. Daddy didn't help him. But Bray succeeded because Abigail sharpened him, gave him clarity, etc...
9) AND Bo will get it too - as a member of the Wyatt Family. His TRUE family.
Deepen the Wyatt story. Bring Bo in. Hint further at who Abigail could be (an older wrestler).
***** OR *****
Do a similar deal, but hint that Abigail didn't just help Bray, that she also gave their sister guidance and that their sister will carry on Abigail's legacy / was handed that title. Then Bray could do an appeal to Bo about surrendering and joining his brother+sister.
My idea for Abigail would be a reverse excorcism done to a current diva.
Lana would probably be the best candidate. Her and Ziggler break up so she has no one to protect her. The Wyatt family abducts Lana and they tie her on a table in the middle of the ring. They do some kinda ceremony and Bray says a bunch of demon shit causing the ghost of Sister Abigail to possess her. Lana's voice completely changes and she becomes the Sister Abigail character.
It might sound kinda ridiculous, but at least it'd be an actual storyline.
Brie Bella would make a great Sister Abigail. Her husband was already a Wyatt Family member. Keep her off screen for a few weeks so she can grow a beard and re-debut her.
How about a ghostly hologram of a old woman dressed in nun clothes sister Abigail has to be an old woman unless there's some sort of reincarnation which would not make sense with out a back story.
They can just have a ghostly hologram talking to Bray. Till said hologram Hi jacks insert divas name here body.
They need to hire John Carpenter, Clive Barker or Stephen King. WWE writers would screw up a demonic angle as soon as it appeared.
I'd really like to see Demonic Bray, WWE don't seem to want to expand to much with that though even though Wyatt himself has given solid evidence that his character is indeed a demonic entity in the form of a human being, he sees himself as more than a Man.
Right now WWE need to be committed to writing compelling stories for The Wyatt Family, they've still got to reintroduce Rowan. Give them more promos in the swamp, Bray giving sermons to his followers in a church like building out in the bayou, more theatrics.
If we're going to go this route, it's definitely gotta be Mika.
Bo in drag? Bray in drag? Are you people serious? Bray in drag!?! You want Bo or Bray in drag? Like Kloudi? Like Vito? Like Santina? Are you people insane?
Bray in drag. fpalm :lol
Put a habit on her and we're golden. Cree-py.
And for the love of God, recruit Bo already!
This is the kind of fuckery that turns people off from pro wrestling/sports-entertainment as a whole and makes those of us that are fans cringe in embarrassment.
Sister Abigail is dead, let her remain dead. I"m not even sure the Wyatt family needs a female element.
You guys greatly underestimate a hot girl coming out with the Wyatts, not speaking, but just standing there looking all emo and shit. Paige wouldn't fit it, especially at this point. It would seem forced and stupid. But it could be a way to bring back Emma. Bray Wyatt kind of likes to applaud himself for 'saving' others.
Whoever it would be, all she has to do is come out with them and get involved with their matches at times. She doesn't have to talk every week. Just look alt-hot. Worked kind of well for that Lita chick, but who remembers her.
Horrible. Absolutely terrible. Read your post again. That idea adds literally nothing to the Wyatt Family. The Family isn't even emo. IF you're going to throw a woman in there she better be as disheveled, hillbilly and ugly as the rest.
But anyway, this doesn't work for reasons besides aesthetic. No reason to ruin every member's character and embarrass the company with an awful angle just to shoehorn a hot chick into a stable. Bing. Suicide Girls. Whack it. You're good buddy.
I agree they should not make her a character. If they do I would keep her in a veil and full coverage dress. And she would NEVER talk. Just point and motion.
Oh and none of the current Divas. Heck not even a wrestler.
You can't make Abigail real or as a wrestler because then Wyatt is not the leader of you go by what he says he would have to defer to Abigail. So this better be one powerful actress who can deliver promos at a Heyman level (to justify having Wyatt stand there silent). Just an awful idea in my opinion.
Only way I could see it is to have a normal "diva" become possessed by Abigail for a period of time. Be a nice swerve if that was Bailey haha.
