Maccaveli101Bianca an impressive athlete but she doesn’t have the charisma and that X factor that Sasha has.
Bianca will do incredible in the Bianca spot but she’s not gonna be the one you can depend on to save your women’s division with a promo like Sasha could.

I just haven’t seen a non match segment with Bianca that’s made me think “she has the personality to make any feud work” like a Sasha or a Becky or a Cena or Rock can do.
She’s damn near untouchable in the ring but I don’t see her becoming this captivating deep character in promos.

Vince coming out in character in the middle of a serious investigation involving him paying employees to suck his d*** to get a pop and idiots bowing to him in the crowd is pretty f***ing gross when you think about it.

Sasha is cool and all in the ring but she sounds like Brit dmd on the mic. Bianca is better but the "make another one" talk is gross
