Previously (in the Raw thread): Emma got arrested a Walmart but her lawyer said it was all an accident. If Emma really lost her job solely because she forgot to pay for an iPad case - in the context of other people getting in the police blotter for far worse - that's quite unfair.
Still, it's probably not a good idea to get in trouble when they're cutting people near the bottom of the roster, and Emma had already (unfortunately) settled there.
On the other hand, if this is turns out a Daniel Bryan/Fit Finlay/Jamie Noble like firing, where she's asked to serve a time out with an implicit promise she'll be brought back if she stays out of trouble, Emma may actually be better off in the long run. The current character, at least as interrupted by the main WWE writers, wasn't working at all - she was going to need something new, and a break might help that.
Maybe it's the watermark, but I don't think this is Emma at all. For one thing, she appears to be black or mixed Nvm if it's supposed to be someone else and I'm just not catching a reference.
Here's hoping we see Emma on TNA soon, she'd fit right in among the Knockouts and she might get a chance to put on an actual wrestling match. She was completely being wasted in the WWE. Sure, the money might be higher, but jumping to the Knockouts roster would probably help her career and her star power. Then when and if she jumps back 'creative' might have actually come up with something for her to do besides be Santino's goofy girlfriend.
EMMAncipated from her roll with the WWE for a misdemeanor.
You can smoke pot, get DUIs, ect. in the WWE, though.
May be one of those things like the Barrett situation where she'll be back in 6 months. Didn't he get released for a bit after punching a police officer?
This does feel more like when Daniel Bryan got fired than anything that'll be legitimate long-term. It's right up on the front page of WWE.com and isn't just being buried on the site.
Maybe she comes back with a shoplifting gimmick?
Emma was one of my favorite divas on NXT and her main roster career so far has been a miss (because of pairing her with stupid Santino!), but if they'd write better stuff for her, she could be great.
Nvm if it's supposed to be someone else and I'm just not catching a reference.
It's Cameron. In 2012, she got pulled over for a DUI and then offered the officer 10K as a bribe to not report it. Cameron was afraid of being fired if WWE found out. She should not have worried, apparently.

I will take this option over what I thought was going to happen to her which is a total hatchet job where a repackaging would be impossible.
Even if she doesn't come back I like that better than squirming through uncomfortable embarrassing segments where we just wish somebody would come along and be a STAR.
It's kinda weird seeing how two of NXT's best Divas (maybe THE two best that they had, going from their amazing NXT Women's match) took totally different routes after getting brought up to the big leagues. Paige was immediately given the belt while Emma languished as a sideshow. If Creative had a single working braincell between them they'd have had at least one of Paige's feuds be with Emma and let them both show what they could do, say at Money in the Bank, instead of wasting Paige's feuds on the Funkadactyls of all people, and Emma's talents on pointless skits with Santino and Fandango.
Now, within the same week, Paige loses her title back to AJ and Emma gets fired for shoplifting. At least Paige looks to get a good title feud out of it, if not winning it back outright. Emma will either jump to TNA (which I'm kinda hoping for, because I'd like to see her matched up against Gail Kim) or spend some time in the indies until this blows over and she comes back, hopefully with a better gimmick and a license to actually show off her moves.
Thought Simmons really hit him hard with the question asking the difference between 90's HBK and 00's HBK, in terms of locker room relations. Great stuff here. Get it for your drive home from work.
