Which new women's stable, Absolution or the Riott Squad, has been more successful in their pro wrestling careers?

Tiebreaker: Popularity (Twitter Followers)

Enter cap — Paige's 2 million+ followers lift Absolution's total popularity to unimaginable heights

Whether we like to admit it or not, athletic ability only gets you so far in the WWE. For you to ultimately be successful, you must be able to “turn a phrase” and find great comfort shouting into a microphone in front of tens of thousands of people.

The ability to rile up and connect with an audience, whether as a face or a heel, will ultimately determine your level of popularity with the WWE Universe and your ultimate success.

And how do we measure popularity in 2017? Twitter followers, of course!

Absolution

Paige, @RealPageWWE: 2.05 Million Followers

Mandy Rose, @WWE_MandyRose: 128,000 Followers

Sonya Deville, @SonyaDevilleWWE: 57,500 Followers

Liv Morgan, @YaOnlyLivvOnce: 111,000 Followers

Sarah Logan, @SarahLoganWWE: 32,200 Followers

Consensus

Paige’s success on a worldwide level due to her prior time on the WWE main roster has undoubtedly led to a substantial amount of interest and followers online. Add in some tumultuous relationships with former WWE Champions and her number has ballooned to more than 20 million followers.

The Riott Squad’s most popular member on Twitter, Liv Morgan, has only mustered a following of around 111,000, 17,000 LESS than Mandy Rose, Absolution’s second most-popular Superstar.
