Tenille Dashwood has revealed that she wasn't always enthusiastic about choices made for her character when she wrestled as Emma in WWE. This includes Vince McMahon's predictable decision to turn her into an assembly-line glamour blonde when he relaunched her as Emmalina.
Best Friends Challenge : Summer Rae & Tenille Dashwood
I know you shouldn't question the boss, especially when Vince McMahon was close personal friends with former U.S. President Donald Trump, but this is the guy that used to pull down his trousers and make subordinates like Jim Ross smooch his backside so they could join his "Kiss My Ass" club on television, for all the world to see. That's one segment the wrestling world doesn't need to revisit.

So she wasn't into the character upgrade WWE gave her before she went back up to the main roster? I wouldn't have guessed, based on the positive reaction she got from fans as they wanted to see her get a big push when she was on Raw. For me, I didn't mind her as the nice girl who liked to have fun and transformed every word to match her name(I know Santino Marella didn't mind either for a time).
Melina and Gail Kim have become criminally underrated as far as their stature in WWE. Gail Kim's reasons for not having more clout are obvious, but Melina has made a couple of appearances on Raw in recent years, yet her accomplishments are still mostly ignored when she was the top female wrestler next to Mickie James at one time.

When Vince McMahon personally assigned Santino Marella and his smelly glove to be her mentor he surely sent an urgent message to Tenille Dashwood (aka. Emma) to wise up and play ball. I say this because we've seen this commercial movie in WWE before, again and again and again and again ...
She never looked comfortable to me as Emmalina, she's a quirky, fun-loving personality with a gift for comedy, not a Playboy diva. I have to be honest, I thought her rebrand as a faceless bikini model totally stunk.

^ It just makes me wonder what kind of career she would've had if she never changed her gimmick after her stint with Santino.

Were you an Emma fan? I was.

^ I thought she was ok. I found her entertaining with her original goofy, nice girl gimmick and even though I didn't watch her work in NXT, I thought she had potential when she went back to the main roster.
