Is it just me or does Ruby seem to have lost a step since coming back from injury? She hasn’t looked nearly as good as she had in the past....and sometimes even looks lost during her matches.

She’s probably doing what Orton would do when he’s not interested and simply phone it in. She’s most likely lost motivation

Probably also a bit dead inside from the inertia of being just another body on the roster. Who could blame her.
Wish they would give her a little run of it with one of the singles belts, she’s a star.

it's called "frustration" probably.
Now that they have Rhea Ripley, who slowly, but surely turns into the taller, more muscular version of her, she has no chance at a singles title as the "tattooed punk chick", which is a shame cause she is one of the best performers on the women's roster IMO.
and I still don't get why the Riott Squatt has never held the tag titles, they are the ONLY real team in that whole division.

Even if she had lost a step, she'd still be one of the best they've got.
But instead, they have nearing-40 years old Natalya and nearing-50 years old Tamina go over in the year of our lord 2021.

I don't know if I've ever seen someone so misused in comparison to people they're booked with. It's not like I'm asking for her to have a two year undefeated streak or anything, just that it's absurd she's constantly losing to people she's so vastly superior to. Even if you don't think she's on the level of Asuka, Charlotte, Sasha, etc I'd say she's pretty clearly better than everyone she was in that tag match with at Wrestlemania and still gets nothing, not even a pity tag title win. Her big storyline in the past year is that she couldn't beat Peyton Royce and Billie Kay in singles matches. C'mon now, get that ish outta here.

That match was a cluster anyway, and she was in there with several ladies who aren’t the most talented, so that might have exacerbated it. I do agree, she’s not as intense. She has a bit of that ‘going through the motions’ look. Again that might’ve been the way the match was booked. Those matches are usually a mess anyway.
That said, the Riott Squad absolutely should’ve won that match. I said it in the official thread, you have a proper team in there with a bunch of random tandems, and have the team lose to the most boring, nonsensical, thrown together, Big Show please retire women on the roster. I get there they’re legends (for Yumina I use the term very loosely). They deserve to be on the V show...once. I don’t think there’s actually a finish on the card that I’d be more angry about than if they somehow beat Nia and Shayna.
I don’t mean to go off here, but the women’s tag division is a mess minus the Riott Squad and Shayna/Nia. This really should’ve been the Riott Squad’s story - win the crappy clusterf#ck match, get dominated the whole match against the champs, but then pull it off at the end. That would’ve been a great moment that nobody knew they needed. Then give them a decent run until another actual team comes around to unseat them.
Final thought: Lacey is out for awhile. Why the hell didn’t they just put the IIconics back together? They work well together, and it would’ve been another team rather than two more women who have no real reason to be together.

As frustrating as it is as a fan of Ruby and Liv to see them constantly job, it has to be 100x worse for them as the performers. Ruby is legit one of the best women performers they have and she just doesn’t seem to care if the WWE doesn’t care at this point. Put her in another promotion and I’m sure she goes back to putting on clinics.

Billie doesn’t need to go back to teaming with the Jannetty of the group... But the Illconics should have never been broken up in the first place.

See the thing is Ruby could go out there and put on 5 star matches, but she would still remain in her current position. She is one of the best woman wrestlers on the roster and she would get over huge as a top face.
I like The Riott Squad and like someone else said they are the only proper tag team in the women's division so they should be treated better instead of jobbing.
