It's not easy to just 'go up to Vince.' People talk all the time about how they're petrified. Jericho just came out and said something about how he knows never to pitch an idea to Vince while he's hungry. It works for the Shield because Vince has something to lose, and for the New Day who at the time had nothing to lose. These girls have way more to lose if they go to Vince and say the wrong thing at the wrong time, he is notorious for that. For the women, there's always another good looking girl right behind you. And right now he's clearly more concerned with pushing all the total divas girls, all 4 of them are stuck biding their time right now until Vince gets over it. Way different animal than it is with the guys.
Bayley said the same thing to Austin, she feels directionless and her character is lost. Where is Becky right now? Could have to do with them having no idea how to book faces, wait for the same thing to happen to Alexa, who when she drops the title to Nia Jax and Asuka takes her place, will then become useless since the girls are lucky to get more than one segment on Raw, and when they get two, they're just squashing Emma.
Bringing this over here.
There's still no reason to NOT talk to Vince and be scared of him.
Dean Ambrose - always talks to Vince and usually gets his way (thumbtacks story).
Chris Jericho - got in his face, played his hand, bet on himself and Vince loves him.
Jinder Mahal - always talks to Vince and gets tips.
James Ellsworth - always sought Vince's opinion whenever he'd go back through the curtain.
Kofi Kingston - literally fought Vince and wrestled him to the ground to stand up for himself and Vince loves Kofi now.
CM Punk - always stood up for himself and wasn't afraid to tell Vince if something was stupid. They would text each other in the middle of the night.
among others. You have to talk to him. You have to bet on yourself no matter what position you're in.
Edge himself on the podcast today said if he had to give a piece of advice, it's talk to Vince and build that relationship. Vince needs to know who he's investing in and he only finds that out when he actually gets to talk to you.
All guys from the Shield have a pretty established history of telling Vince what they think...perhaps more notably as a unit. If WWE had their way and Seth/Dean/Roman didn't talk to Vince we would've got the break up much earlier.
That said...as sad as it is to say...I imagine it's 100x more difficult for a woman to try and get through to Vince. I wouldn't be shocked if he only really cares about Charlotte and that's simply a respect for Ric thing.
And we were tired of seeing it. Surprising how long it took people to come around on heel Usos. They're absolutely killing it.Usos - "I was tired of running around looking like a box of crayons for five years!"

Makes sense to me. If Vince is going to bet his (close to) billion dollar company on you, you bet he needs to know who you are.
He's put the championship on her 4 times, the main event of a pay per view, and the main event of Raw a number of times. She isn't an unknown to him.
And her longest reign with it is 27 days. Even she knows that's nothing to brag about and just hurts her and her character.
What if hes right
