No way Melo did it right? There's no way something so obvious is actually the case in a non Vince run storyline.
Either Melo is good at acting or they're making him seem bothered by everyone accusing him (because of how believable it feels, which isn't something that would be believable a few months ago) for a reason.
Some suggesting perhaps this is Wes Lee's doing? Comes back as a heel, trying to break up Trick and Melo because they remind him of what he once had in NXT, and unlike Trick/Melo, fans "didn't have any sympathy for Wes when he had to go solo, but are wanting Trick and Melo to stay together so much".
Her situation is interesting.
She absolutely should be in NXT first, but she could easily just show up and compete on Raw or SD and not feel out of place.
I wonder if she at least competes in the Iron Survivor match if she is in NXT.
She doesn't have to win the match or even take a fall, but could still get work in without having to compete or carry a 25 min match.
