The match did serve to show how important workers like Deonna are, though. For every charismatic-but-inexperienced worker like Britt Baker, Thunder Rosa, or Jade Cargill, you need a solid worker in the midcard with indie or joshi experience to at least try to make them look good. A Ruby Soho, Taya Valkyrie, Mercedes Martinez, someone like that.
It seems likely that that’s where Deonna will slot in after Revolution, when Mercedes-mania starts running wild.
