You didn't miss much. I don't mean that as a slight on her, but she's one of those folks who got horribly misused and cast aside. She had some indy buzz around her during her days as Heidi Lovelace, so of course WWE just had to get in on that action. Was decent in NXT. "Creative" building two different stables of three women made mostly of unseasoned NXT callups at the exact same time around two similarly gimmicked women (Ruby and Paige) didn't help matters, though.

She seemed like someone who had tremendous upside with care and time, but then they "got bored with her". I can almost draw the same comparison that I did with Daria Barranato (before they randomly changed her name later to Sonya Deville), Shayna Baezler, and Ronda Rousey, though. That comparison was that they wanted to "create" a Rousey type character from whole cloth, then they got the chance to sign Shayna and started giving her a push, then they actually got Rousey, and had no need for what they saw as knockoffs. Same with Ruby and Paige. They wanted someone Paige-like, but then actually got the real girl back for awhile, so had no need for Ruby in spite of her actually being a decent worker. Of course, she's not model hot and bottle blonde, so no matter how much of an iconoclastic star she could have been, those were already two strikes against her in the machine of WWE.
