** {{Wrestling/Naomi}} is considered one to Angela, considering their careers have a lot of parallels. Both come from athletic and performing backgrounds - Angela as a cheerleader and Naomi a dancer. Both went for the SheFu high flying wrestling style. Both were the first title holders in their respective divisions - Angela the first Queen of FCW and Naomi the first FCW Divas' Champion. Both also had questionable call-ups to the main roster that put them in non-wrestling roles - Angela as an announcer and Naomi as a dancing valet. Almost prophetically, Naomi defeated Angela to advance in the tournament for the FCW Divas' Championship.

Moving tropes from the Lucha Underground character page.


* ActionGirl: For almost two whole seasons of Lucha Underground, we never got to see her do anything outside of some faux-kung fu in the backstage vignettes, but at Ultima Lucha Dos she went head-to-head with Dragon Azteca Jr. and proved that she can ''really'' go! Just a pity about Pentagon Dark, really...



* DamselInDistress: She spent a fair bit of the first season of Lucha Underground imprisoned in the same room as Matanza's cage, though both were placed out of each other's reach.
* DeclarationOfProtection: In Lucha Underground, Chavo Guerrero Jr. made one to protect her while she took revenge against Matanza. Too bad he didn't intend to follow through.



* DoomedHometown: Black Lotus' village was destroyed by Matanza.
* DragonLady: As Black Lotus, her ethnicity, look and attitude all are meant to invoke this trope.



* KidnappedByAnAlly: Before Black Lotus could face Matanza, she was "kidnapped" by a luchador named Dragon Azteca, who explained to her that she was not ready to face him and offered to teach her lucha libre to be able to fight him properly. Lotus herself acknowledges that Dragon Azteca probably saved her life. It turns out it was actually Prince Puma who kidnapped her and delivered her to Azteca.



* MysteriousWatcher: Black Lotus would sit in the crowd and watch the matches silently before finally confronting Dario Cueto about Matanza's whereabouts.



* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: In season 1 of Lucha Underground stated to Matanza that she will be the one to kill him. At the very end of season 4, she made good on her promise.



* PlayingBothSides: Was seemingly a faithful ally to Dario Cueto after Cueto took her under his protection, but was seen manipulating Dragon Azteca Jr. into believing that she was his ally as well.



* PrepareToDie: When she was standing next to Matanza's cage in season 1 of Lucha Underground, she recounted how he killed everyone in her village and that from childhood her only desire has been to kill him.



* RageAgainstTheMentor: She killed her mentor Dragon Azteca, as she was misled by Dario Cueto into believing that Azteca was responsible for killing her parents.



* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: In Lucha Underground. According to Dario Cueto, her parents were the leaders of the Black Lotus Triad before they were killed.



* YouAreNotReady: After a few months of training, Black Lotus believed herself ready to face Matanza, Dragon Azteca disagreed and floored her, proving she still had a long way to go before she could face Matanza and hope to win. She should've listened to him.



* YouKilledMyFather: Black Lotus's motivation for revenge on Matanza.

to:

* YouKilledMyFather: Black Lotus's motivation for revenge on Matanza.Matanza was the deaths of her parents, though Dario Cueto misled her into believing that Dragon Azteca was the murderer.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Was once blasted by Wrestling/SaraDelRey for being 'just another model, not a real wrestler' before a match they had; while Fong was fresh off 3 years of WWE at the time, she was mainly a fitness/bikini model before that. Considering Del Rey then absolutely wiped the floor with Fong when the match started, she wasn't 'entirely' wrong..


Added DiffLines:

* RealWomenDontWearDresses: Wrestling/SaraDelRey subjected Fong to an extended {{squash|match}} to prove models can't be wrestlers, at least not good wrestlers. This had extra humiliating aspects, as Fong was fresh off leaving WWE, had a strong reputation as a fitness model, and got completely dominated, with Sara winning all 3 falls, and Fong getting no offense whatsoever.

* CanadaEh: Averted. She was billed from Hong Kong as opposed to her actual hometown of Vancouver.
* {{Chickification}}: She commented on the unusual decision to call her up as an interviewer and ring announcer, especially when the all-women's season of NXT came about. One contestant Jamie Keyes wanted to be an announcer rather than a wrestler, and Angela felt she could have been a good contestant had she not been released. On ''Wrestling/LuchaUnderground'' she was entirely in a character role and didn't wrestle until the third season.
* CombatParkour: As a former cheerleader, Angela would frequently bridge out of pins, Matrix dodge away from kicks and clotheslines and backroll into headscissors.
* CombatStillettos: Had no problem brawling with Rosa while wearing six inch heels.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Black Lotus is a significantly darker character than Savannah.
* DarkMagicalGirl: Black Lotus, who isn't physical enough to be an ActionGirl, but is dark and manipulative enough to fill this role. She also has personal motivations for her actions.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Her FCW gear had some sequins and rhinestones on it. And of course she was the first holder of the sparkly Queen of FCW crown.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: When she was called up to TV, her hair was lightened.
* {{Face}}: Her natural athleticism and likability made her ideal as FCW's top face Diva.
* FemmeFatale: Black Lotus of course. She's out for revenge and doesn't care how she accomplishes it.
* FinishingMove: An inverted DDT called the Sake Bomb.
* GenkiGirl: Her wrestling character was very peppy and excited. Her entrance had her jumping up and down, waving to everyone.
* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Layla got on the apron as Angela was going for the Sake Bomb on Rosa. Had Angela hit the move, Layla would have broken up the pin. Angela went to knock Layla off the apron, leaving herself in prime position for Rosa to get a sneaky roll-up.
* TheHighQueen: As the first Queen of FCW she was the only Diva to hold the crown entirely as a face. AJ Lee won it as a face but soon turned heel.
* HotScoop: She was always quite dolled up for her stint as a ring announcer and interviewer.
* IHaveManyNames: In FCW she went by her full name, just Angela or Miss Angela. On the main roster Savannah and Black Lotus in ''Lucha Underground''.
* IHaveTheHighGround: She liked using springboard moves and crossbodies a lot.
* IdenticalLookingAsians: Claims that when she was on the main roster, people kept mixing her and Gail Kim up. Angela is Chinese and Gail is Korean. They are [[DamnedByFaintPraise both Canadian though]].
* InterchangeableAsianCultures:
** Black Lotus has a Chinese triad made up of Japanese wrestlers.
** She also had a finisher called the Sake Bomb in WWE. Sake is a ''Japanese'' drink.
* KickChick: She used a few enziguris in her arsenal.
* MomentKiller: Rosa interrupted Angela's coronation and stole the crown, proclaiming herself the Queen.
* NonIndicativeName: Her Sake Bomb finisher is not a powerbomb or any kind of 'bomb' move; it's an inverted DDT.
* PerpetualSmiler: In FCW she was always smiling and beaming.
* PomPomGirl: Was a cheerleader before she was in WWE. In her entrance she would excitedly wave to the fans, almost evoking this.
* SheFu: As a former cheerleader, she used plenty of this kind of offence. Lots of springboards, headscissors, Matrix dodges and rolls.
* SpiritualSuccessor: {{Wrestling/Naomi}} is considered one to Angela, considering their careers have a lot of parallels. Both come from athletic and performing backgrounds - Angela as a cheerleader and Naomi a dancer. Both went for the SheFu high flying wrestling style. Both were the first title holders in their respective divisions - Angela the first Queen of FCW and Naomi the first FCW Divas' Champion. Both also had questionable call-ups to the main roster that put them in non-wrestling roles - Angela as an announcer and Naomi as a dancing valet. Almost prophetically, Naomi defeated Angela to advance in the tournament for the FCW Divas' Championship.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute:
** After she was released, a new ring announcer debuted on NXT called Jamie Keyes, who ended up competing on the all-female season.
** Her style of wrestling was heavily compared to that of Gail Kim, and the two were mistaken for each other a lot. Character-wise they were much more different - where Gail was more of a serious wrestler, while Angela a glamorous Diva.
* TokenMinority: Filling the 'one Asian Diva limit' in WWE, Lena Yada was released as Angela was rising in prominence, and Angela herself got released about a year after Gail Kim returned to WWE.
* TheTriadsAndTheTongs: The Black Lotus Triad, assembled by her in ''Lucha Underground''. Never mind that it's made up of Japanese wrestlers.
* TheUnfought: Angela had a couple of issues with Jenny Cash talking trash about her on the Express News & Gossip segment, but they never wrestled each other due to Jenny's sudden ACL injury. They did however wrestle on live events.
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Angela utilised lots of backrolls into headscissors for RuleOfCool.
* VillainTeamUp: With Dario Cueto at the end of Season 1.
* WaifFu: Dr X tried to interfere in a match on Rosa Mendes's behalf. Angela ducked his clothesline and gave him a timely enziguri.
* YouGoGirl: Angela advanced to the finals of the Queen of FCW tournament by defeating 'The Girl From Mexico'
* YouKilledMyFather: Black Lotus's motivation for revenge on Matanza.
