WWE Superstar Emma was released from her contract on 29th October 2017, after a career that seemed to have far more potential as compared to how it turned out. One glance at her, and one could easily see that she certainly had a great look.
She was no slouch in the ring either after years of wrestling in the independent circuit. Emma was, in many ways, the complete package. Unfortunately, WWE did not agree with her horde of vocal fans that urged the company to give Emma a chance.
We're certain that she's far from done, but her current chapter in WWE has come to a close, for now. As a tribute to her her contribution in WWE, let's glance back at her career and examine the highlights from it.
Here are five things that you may have forgotten about Emma.
#5 Emma won 64% of her main roster matches
Considering how often we've seen Emma take the pin on WWE television, we had believed that her win-loss record should favour the 'losses' column far more than the 'wins' column. It turns out, instead, that Emma has a pretty solid number of wins.
The Internet Wrestling Database reveals that across 203 matches in the main roster, Emma has won 130 contests, which means that she has taken the victory in 64% of her matches. To put things in perspective, Chris Jericho has only won 47% percent of his main roster WWE matches.
Maybe WWE did give Emma a chance, but for various reasons, she could not get herself over enough? Unfortunately, looking back at Emma's career can only make us think of what could have been, had it panned out the way it should have. In any case, hindsight is always twenty-twenty.
#4 Zack Ryder is not Emma's only WWE Superstar ex-boyfriend
It is public knowledge that Zack Ryder and Emma were a thing until they split up earlier this year. As of writing this feature, Ryder is dating Laurel Van Ness from Impact Wrestling. Emma has previously also dated yet another NXT superstar. Who was not nearly as famous as Ryder was.
In mid-2014, Emma was in a relationship with released NXT superstar Will McNamee. Remember him? We won't blame you if you don't. He wrestled under the name Mac Miles during his run with NXT. You can catch him at the tail end of the video linked right above.
In August 2014, McNamee even posted a message about the wonderful life he had envisioned with Emma, stating thus:
I am so lucky to have this woman in my life. Bahamas in 13 days and then we are moving to Denver!
With a breakup (Emma's relationship with Zack Ryder) and an eventual release, it is safe to say that 2017 did not pan out for Emma as it should have.
#3 Emma had her own YouTube cooking channel
Emma fans must already be aware that her real name is Tenille Dashwood. Although wrestling has been Emma's main passion since the time that she was a kid, it's not her only real passion. Emma has always been a passionate cook and had her very own YouTube channel too.
The channel, Taste of Tenille, had various WWE superstars appear in it, and cook some delightful recipes together. While there are a few episodes out on the internet, with guests such as Xavier Woods, the Iconic Duo and Paige, as well.
The channel has unfortunately discontinued, owing possibly to Emma's busy WWE schedule. We wonder if she will continue it, provided she has more free time on her hands at this juncture.
Most of the dishes that Emma cooked had a healthy spin on them, for rather obvious reasons.
#2 Emma reached the NXT Women's Championship Tournament finals
When Emma says that she did start the Women's Revolution, she is not far off the mark, at all. She was in the finals of the first ever NXT Women's Championship tournament, wrestling against Paige for the highly coveted prize.
Emma beat Aksana and Summer Rae to get to the finals, proving how far up the pecking order, she once was. She did lose the match eventually but went on to have another classic with Paige at NXT Takeover: Arrival, soon after.
With both Summer Rae and Emma having departed from the company, one wonders what could have been if only they had been booked as strongly as they had been during their NXT run. It's a travesty that she never won a championship, either in NXT or the main roster.
#1 Emma has been released once before
In 2014, it was reported that Emma had been arrested for sixth-degree larceny. The charges involved Emma not paying for an iPad Mini case, which was later found to be just a simple misunderstanding. However, WWE announced at that point that Emma had been released from the company.
However, Emma was brought back soon after, and WWE posted the following message:
Upon further evaluation, WWE has reinstated Tenille Dashwood (WWE Diva Emma) but will take appropriate punitive action for her violation of the law.
Three years later, WWE would part ways with Emma for good, for entirely different reasons. A tragedy really, but such is the nature of the wrestling business.
We wish you all the best for the future, Emma. We're certain there are many opportunities waiting for you in the wrestling world.
Who knows? Emma may return to WWE yet again someday. The only thing certain about the wrestling business is that nothing's certain.
