WWE Completely Dropping NXT Character, New Name Revealed

Switch it up. Sometimes, a wrestler needs to change course in a way. This could be anything from switching from good to evil or getting a manager or just changing the way their matches go. Other times it is a much more dramatic change and can include a wrestler being completely repackaged. That seems to be the case again, as a unique gimmick is going away.

According to PWInsider.com, WWE has dropped the Mei Ying character in NXT. The character, played by Karen Q, was an ancient witch who led the Tian Sha stable. Karen Q is still with NXT but will be going by the name Wendy Choo going forward. There is no word on when she will debut or what this will mean for Boa, the other member of the Tian Sha stable.

Tian Sha was an interesting group. Check out some of their time together:

Opinion: This is one of the few NXT changes that actually makes sense. Ying is not exactly a character who had the longest term future, as you can only get so far with an ancient witch. Then she lost a match, so a lot of the evil aura to her went away as well. This makes a good bit more sense, though I’m not sure how much of a future I would bank on for anyone in NXT at the moment.

What do you think of the change? Who should Choo face in NXT? Let us know in the comments below.
