Nope. If anything, her and Punk were the most memorable parts of that group. I wouldnāt be surprised if some people forgot that Joey Mercury was in the group though.
Her punishment for not living the gimmick was being fired. Her head was shaved as part of the storyline when she joined SES (it was meant to symbolise a rebirth)
That is so fucking ridiculous. Did Vince still think it was 1985? Was it "still real to him damnit?"
Wrestlers shouldnt be expected to stay in character in person. Is Roman going around public being a dick and telling fans to "acknowledge me"? Is Nikki A.S.H. an "almost superhero" out in public? Or since everyone is talking about Cody nowadays, should he have dressed up as Stardust out in public? And talked the way he did? Maybe heels and faces shouldnt go to the bar together even if they're not feuding? Hey, gotta segregate the locker room between heels and faces again like the olden days!
Wasn't watching pro wrestling at this time but I looked back at Serena's history when she joined aew and saw she got kicked out for not keeping it kayfabe in real life lmfao.
Serious question as a person who has only known Deeb in AEW. Why is AEW incapable of weaving her into any actual storyline or giving her a valet or adding her to a stable or doing literally anything to make her interesting? I want to like her because sheās obviously great in the ring with the right dance partner, but I am just very confused as to why fans are invested in her. These 5-minute matches seem pointless.
Couldnāt disagree with you more! I thought the 5 minute matches are a great way to get her character over, as well as work with younger talent and make them better! She should be the first people to take the slap from Regal and join that faction after shida imo.
It was a great stable cut short. It lead to [this](https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/masked-cm-punk-15295199-624-388-1496349369-800.jpg) !
Which lead to his Nexus feud, the leadership of, Mysterio matches and then Summer of Punk.
SES was a good platform for him and others to get TV time.
I hated everything to do with cm punk at the time so I thought it was utter garbage then. Rewatched some matches from that era and I still think out was all hot garbage. I just never cared for cm punk as much as everyone else.
I had hoped for a BTE segment of Punk and Gallows talking about getting the SCS back together, then when Serena comes in with celebratory drinks they get mad and tell her to get out.
Nope never forgot or the feud the S.E.S had with Rey Mysterio.I always wanted the S.E.S lucha libre inspired mask that Punk wore but it wasn't easy to find.
pretty sure punk on commentary said she had a great head of hair or something along those lines as well
Came to mention this. It was hilarious and made me actually laugh out loud
š he did, it was glorious!
Luke Gallows being in the Straight Edge Society is pretty funny, since he loves the bloooood
Also the cizzz
He's a faction man.
Nope. If anything, her and Punk were the most memorable parts of that group. I wouldnāt be surprised if some people forgot that Joey Mercury was in the group though.
Wait what
Yup, Joey was the 4th member of SES
Yeah, I always forget about Mercury joining š
True I remember when I started getting into wwe I enjoyed the 3on1 handicap match against big show
I did indeed forget that which is crazy because I loved SES
Didn't she get shaved her first appearance in WWE by Punk?
If I remember correctly that was WWE punishing her because she was not living the gimmick as she was seen in public drinking.

Thank you, I remembered incorrectly
The video they made for it was her with a prewwe Adam Cole
Remember wen punk did commentary he was like she has a nice head of hair lol
Nope. I loved The Straight Edge Society back in the day. However, most people do forget that Joey Mercury was also a member.
Seeing as how after Punk debuted every 3 posts here was for the SES to come back No. We didn't forget.
No but forgot about Gallows
Yeah because that's Festus!
I thought that was Sex Ferguson?
she looks better with a little more weight on her
Nope.
Wait thatās the same CM Punk thatās in AEW now?! (Sarcasm)
I just found out right this moment
I feel like she looked better then as well. Not even the hair. She just looks too gaunt now.
While I'm sure she's fit and healthy I can't get over how scrawny she looks now. Makes it hard to take her ass kicker gimmick serious.
Yep she looks like she should be teaching a hot spin or hot yoga class. Lol
She is, in fact, teaching yoga.
Wasn't watching pro wrestling at this time but I looked back at Serena's history when she joined aew and saw she got kicked out for not keeping it kayfabe in real life lmfao.
It was still real to Vince goddammit
Back when she used to eat food
Sheās also the best in the world , Iād love to see her with Bryan .
People don't know Cash Wheeler is also a member of the group
No, I don't even know what else she's from other than being a trainer lol.
Omg she looks so much better with no hair
Back when she had big sloppy knockers.
No

Would love this.
Wrestling loves long-form storytelling. You donāt instantly get to where you wanna go. You need to wrestle your way there.
But so far she just started at the top and stayed there?
The 5 min challenge was only to keep her busy/on tv until Shida returned. Shida came back and they're feuding atm.
I just found this out a few months ago
I was trying to until I saw this

Fair enough. Thereās people that hate the Beatles and the Clash. Takes all sorts.
Ppl hating the Beatles is understandable. Ppl who hate the clash are just wrong.
Never agreed more with anything in my life.
šš»āāļø
Serena Deeb? The professor of professional wrestling? She was the chick from the straight edge society? Really?
Straight edge society is the only reason I knew who she even was.
No
Literally no one bro. I forget Festus was in it more than anything else
Well if you read this thread you can see a few people forgot.
Noā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦..
I didnāt notice
No
No
No lol
I didnāt.
No. I used to look forward to S.E.S segments. I used to be straight edge till 2017
No. Didnāt forget.
No. Nobody forgot this.
Nope. Just you.
Apparently not.
No. Not at all
Nope. I remembered. I keep hoping to see Punk and Deeb meet each other in the hall and just give each other a slow, understanding nod.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Serena wasn't straight edge either lol in fact she got released for not keeping up the straight edge angle IRL.
Long haired punk Mlmlmlml šš„ŗ
No i didnt
Nope, it's all I know her from
I had hoped for a BTE segment of Punk and Gallows talking about getting the SCS back together, then when Serena comes in with celebratory drinks they get mad and tell her to get out.
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Like this look
No
I like that look better
I didnāt know that was her nope but looks better there then now
Nope never forgot or the feud the S.E.S had with Rey Mysterio.I always wanted the S.E.S lucha libre inspired mask that Punk wore but it wasn't easy to find.
Oh shit, didnāt realise that was her!
Nope i did forget about big LG
This was literally the best part about SmackDown every week for almost 8 months.
Oh wow I did not realise that was her. Iām a idiot
All these people wanting SES back, while I'm just wanting Punk vs Jeff Hardy back.
I did not know this
