#3. Emmalina - The gimmick that never was
Those who followed NXT closely in the early stages of the developmental territory know that Emma was one of the core-figures of what would eventually blossom into the Women's Evolution in WWE a few years later.

Emma and Paige were the two key names that helped the process in a big way, but WWE never seemed to give Emma the respect that she deserved. This was evident during 2016-17 when WWE started airing packages of Emma's transformation to Emmalina - a diva among women.
Ultimately, it became clear that this was nothing but a cruel running joke among WWE backstage officials and there was never any intention to debut her. She had a brief Emmalina appearance before declaring that she would return to Emma. Her career hadn't taken off the way she had hoped to, but Emmalina was the gimmick change that completely derailed the talented Australian's WWE career.
It's a shame because Emma could have done so much more for the women's division. After putting over Asuka on her RAW debut, she would be released by WWE.
