As we noted earlier this week, Emma was expected to be back on the road soon with WWE. She’s been out of action with a back issue that required surgery. She returned at the live event in Louisville on Friday night as the referee for a six-women’s tag team match between Sasha Banks, Bayley and Alicia Fox against Charlotte, Nia Jax and Dana Brooke.
The babyfaces got the win. This was a Raw-branded live event so that would seem to indicate that Emma will be on the Raw brand going forward. There are talent depth issues on both brands and Emma’s return will help with those problems on the women’s side. She has a ready-made storyline with Charlotte because they were pushing the idea of having Dana Brooke as her manager/valet at ringside before Emma was sidelined with her injury.
