Well, DiDi may be in more of a mood to play a heel now.

I was going to say that it'd take more than this to make DiDi act nasty, or that if she did, her opponents would be continually having to remind her about kayfabe to avoid having their skulls crushed like ripe melons. But actually, being persuaded to act nasty might be good for DiDi. She's so obsessed with acting like That Perfect Girl that it can't be healthy - and she assumes that acting like That Perfect Girl means that she is perfect, which she isn't.

I expect that Maura and Tess will try to convince her to date a fellow wrestler to try and get her together with Lynn, only for her to end up with Roxie.

Shipping isn't about whether people would work as a couple. It's about whether it would be hot (in the shipper's opinion, of course) if they were boning. That's all there is to it.

Well thank god that is over. I'm certain Kiley was one more orgasm away from getting a prosthetic hand.

I think Roxie would be better for her, if only because she isn't starry eyed about DiDi. Admittedly, this comes close to Spidrift's valid point about shipping two characters who don't like each other.

Roxie would have to be queen of the tsundere for that pairing to work.
Not saying that she isn't mind you...

Kiley crossed paths with Gary and Zii. She then says "Zii, go console Didi. Gary, come with me, I need a Swirly." :))

I suddenly feel bad about saying I 'Ship' two characters when I consider them a favorite and (at the time) reasonable pairing.
More often than not people fail to see the entirety of the issue, and focus on a single facet of it.

Considering that Lynn would be the rebound fling then this might just be possible. It also helps that Roxie is gay or bisexual, but not drawn to DiDi like all the previous women and men. However, there needs to be something to bond them because even though Roxie doesn't see her as a sex object without some interest this will go nowhere.

Even if Roxie were to become interested somehow she'd have to be willing and able to do those things Kiley mentioned in the first two panels.
That doesn't really seem very 'her'
I'm not actually sure if any character we've met to this point has shown the potential to be that person.

Didi's journey for true l'amour begins now, should be a fun trip.

I've not sensed any spark between DiDi and Roxie. Roxie never hated the Amazon, which would have been a start - hate can turn to love and all that Gothic BS - she just found her incredibly irritating. And now she respects her a little more and has got her measure. And DiDi's view of Roxie seemed to be more "cute kid sister".

So now I don't see that relationship going anywhere, by my guess.
