Trying to develop characters on WWE NXT season 3

Remember when Jamie Keyes was the first one booted off of WWE NXT last week? In case you haven't heard, she has been released from her WWE developmental contract. So what was she doing on TV? So on this week's episode, the WWE is attempting to develop characters and there were a couple of matches. They started off with a Name That Tune of WWE wrestler themes. The purpose of this was to show that AJ Lee is a WWE geek. It's one thing to know the DX theme. But knowing Zach Ryder's theme takes WWE geekdom to a whole new level. It just makes AJ more annoying. Then they had Naomi wrestle Alicia Fox who is Maxine's pro. Why wasn't Maxine wrestling? You may recall that last week she got dropped on her head when Aksana botched a flying mare. Maxine suffered a stinger and was not cleared to wrestle. So Alicia filled in. Naomi is a dancer and has athletic ability. I would like to see her ditch the ballet shoes and wear real wrestling boots. Unfortunately, Alicia has no athletic ability. Her main talent is sashaying to the ring. Naomi tries hard and even does a Kana-like butt bump. And then Alicia botches her axe kick finisher and has to do it again to win the match. I've seen her botch that move enough that she should stop doing it. She's just a terrible wrestler. Check out the video below. The other match had AJ Lee vs Aksana. AJ won with the trademark WWE rollup pin. But the main point of the match was to have Goldust propose marriage to Aksana so she won't get deported. Great, we're going to have a wedding. And we all know what happens in weddings on WWE TV. That should be good for a laugh. Enjoy the video.
