Emma had been super popular during her initial stint as a baby face in NXT. She reached the tournament final to crown the very first NXT Women’s Champion, even though she lost to Paige.She then had feuds with the likes of Summer Rae, Sasha Banks and Natalya before taking her clumsy dancer gimmick to the main roster.

It wasn't a success. Emma then returned to NXT after her failed stint as Santino Marella’s girlfriend. She would go on to turn heel and get over very soon.

The heel turn came during a backstage segment with former friend Bayley on the March 25, 2015, episode of NXT when Emma slapped the taste out of Bayley’s mouth. Emma traded wins with Bayley before forming an alliance with Dana Brooke to take on the babyface duo of Charlotte and Bayley.

She then returned to the main roster with her new cocky heel persona before a back injury sidelined her.
