After weeks and weeks of teasing a reunion of the Riott Squad, Ruby Riott, and Liv Morgan finally confronted each other this past week on Monday Night RAW. During the Kevin Owens show, Ruby Riott spoke her heart out to Liv, before The IIconics interrupted the two. While KO tried to keep things under control, both Peyton Royce and Billie Kay went on to slap the former Universal Champion, which led to Liv and Ruby attacking The IIconics.
The match that followed between the two teams saw the two former members of the Riott squad defeat The IIconics. All signs point towards a reunion between the two and them sticking together for the near future. Now, the question is - will we get a full-fledged Riott Squad 2.0?
The original third member of the faction, Sarah Logan, was released by WWE in April 2020. With her announcing her pregnancy, there is no way she will come back and join these two. But can we see a new Superstar join hands with Ruby Riott and Liv Morgan to form a new Riott Squad? If yes, who?
Let's take a look at five possible contenders for the same. Be sure to comment down and let me know who do you think would fit the role the most?
#5 Tamina joins the Riott Squad
I'll start the list with an unlikely but interesting contender, who could join Ruby and Liv and form a new Riott Squad - Tamina. Daughter of WWE Hall of Famer, Jimmy Snuka, Tamina has been with WWE for over a decade now. Unfortunately, during all these years, she has just been able to win one Championship - the 24/7 title.
While she is not one of the best in-ring workers in WWE, Tamina recently teased a massive new gimmick change in a video, where she was trapped in a straight jacket in a mental hospital. The video teaser looked chilling and scary, but it didn't make its way to the WWE TV, as WWE never officially allowed it. Tamina has since deleted the video, but you can check it in the tweet above.
Even though Tamina is part of SmackDown's roster, she hasn't been used in any capacity there and WWE can shift her over to RAW and let her join Liv and Ruby to form a new Riott Squad. They can use parts of the gimmick teased above for her new character, which would be really interesting!
#4 Lana joins the Riott Squad
Remember when Liv Morgan returned to WWE earlier during Lana & Bobby Lashley's "wedding" and revealed herself as Lana's lover? There was no conclusion to the storyline as WWE just dropped it, and then Rusev was released. But the arc of Liv and Lana was never explored properly. So doesn't it give WWE a great opportunity to let Lana align with Liv again and form a new Riott Squad?
Even though we recently saw her teasing an alliance with Natalya, there's so much more WWE could do with her in the Riott Squad. Remember, she doesn't need to join them immediately. Of course, there is a possibility of her turning on Liv and breaking away from the faction, but even before that, Lana could prove to be a great manager for the duo of Ruby and Liv, and occasionally join them in the ring as well.
Lana joined WWE in 2013 and throughout her career, she has mostly been associated with Rusev - either with him or against him, in several storylines. She isn't known for her in-ring abilities, but as an on-screen character, she can contribute a lot to WWE.
#3 Chelsea Green joins the Riott Squad
A couple of months ago, there were rumors of WWE possibly calling up NXT Superstar, Chelsea Green to the main roster. While WWE is yet to call her up, we haven't seen her on NXT, and her debuting on RAW and joining the Riott Squad could be an interesting direction for her.
After spending time on the independent circuit and promotions like IMPACT Wrestling and Lucha Underground, Chelsea Green signed with WWE in 2018. Before that, she was also a contestant on the sixth season of WWE Tough Enough. After competing as a singles Superstar on NXT, Chelsea Green joined The Robert Stone Brand in January 2020, but the alliance didn't last long as she recently fired him from the position of her manager.
Her joining RAW and potentially forming a new Riott Squad with Ruby and Liv could be a great way to introduce the talented Superstar to the casual WWE fans. Chelsea could also bring back her "psychotic" gimmick to stand-out among the women on the RAW roster.
#2 Dana Brooke joins the Riott Squad
Dana Brooke has been with WWE since 2013, longer than what many would expect. The reason for this is that she hasn't really had any "stand-out" moments in her career, but that could change significantly if she joins Ruby and Liv to form a new Riott Squad. Of course, she is currently a SmackDown Superstar, but WWE could easily move her to RAW.
The year 2020 has been pretty good for Dana Brooke, who has impressed the WWE Universe on several occasions and has also got plenty of opportunities to showcase her talent. She was set to be involved in the SmackDown Women's Championship picture at WrestleMania 36 but plans changed due to her being quarantined. She later qualified for the 2020 Women's Money in the Bank ladder match but was unable to win it.
WWE has shown so much confidence in her this year, and they could further extend it by giving her a chance to join the Riott Squad. This also allows her to do something different and new as her character hasn't evolved much.
#1 Tegan Nox joins the Riott Squad
NXT Superstar Tegan Nox has been in news recently for several reasons, including her personal relationship. She recently challenged NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai for her title, but was unable to capture the Championship. Something just tells me that NXT's "Lady Kane" could be a very good fit for a new Riott Squad.
Tegan Nox signed with WWE in 2017 and was all set to participate in the inaugural Mae Young tournament, but was replaced after she suffered an injury. She made a few appearances for NXT and then entered the tournament again next year. Unfortunately, she again suffered from numerous injuries mid-way through the tournament.
In the last year or so, she has been one of the most beloved, yet fierce, babyfaces on NXT and WWE might just decide to call her up to RAW. Tegan Nox is a great in-ring talent and could add so much more to a new Riott Squad with Liv and Ruby. I believe she is a future RAW or SmackDown Women's Champion, and joining the Riott Squad would be a great way to kick-off her main roster career.
