What in the world is going on with the Divas? They are a hitting a new low, week in and week out, and all we can do is hope that Beth Phoenix or Melina come back to action sooner rather than later. While this decline has been going on for years (and especially within the last few months since Mickie James was released by the company), the large problems seem to hit constant lows.
There are no real feuds going on at the moment. Of course, we have a Diva winning a title and then losing it to another Diva. Then, the two have a few matches and the action goes back and forth for a month or two. Following that routine, we have a new batch of Divas doing the same thing over and over.
At the very least, and I still object to this, but at the end of the Mickie James era, we had “Piggie James.” This was a low in the Divas Division, but at LEAST it was a feud. Can anyone think of a feud worth remembering since then?
Maryse and Alicia Fox have been going at it for the Divas Championship. Oh wait, wasn’t it Eve Torres who was the Divas champ? We can’t forget about her, so WWE just throws her into matches from time to time.
It is clear the WWE isn’t sure who to root for, making the fans clueless as well. Divas are just thrown together in matches without any thought put into them. It’s as if they are told, “Here, just go out there and look pretty.”
Not only do we have two different titles for women, we have a co-Womens champions. We have a mini stable called LayCool that WWE likes to keep around, and since there are no tag teams in the Divas Division, they decided to put belts on both women.
This only weakens the Women’s Championship. What if WWE decided to have WWE co-Championship? This would just confuse everybody.
Now that Michelle McCool is married to the Undertaker, I expect her to be a champion for quite some time.
If you marry someone high in the business you will be in the spotlight. Just look at Triple H as an example. I just hope WWE uses McCool wisely and doesn’t just throw her in random matches that have no meaning.
Come on, WWE, give me something worth watching.
My guess is that LayCool will stick around much longer than we care to see. With top stars injured or having been recently released, there seems to be little hope for the future of the Women’s Division.
WWE is trying to make new Diva stars, but with the lack of real feuds or any clear direction, this seems to be a lost cause.

4 Responses to “WWE: Divas Division in Disarray”July 9th, 2010 at 1:47 pm Very good article.First off on the subject of Eve and Alicia getting the Diva’s title.Both Melina and Beth made the comment on that match that Eve didn’t know what moves to do to tell the story.And that losing the Diva’s title was Eve’s fault and not anyone else.The reason they say that LayCool was given Co-Women’s title was to paint Beth as a Domniant Diva.That when Beth came back that’s the role that Beth would now be working.It’s just that right now WWE is with-out they’re 2 top Face Diva’s .And here’s another reason.First off Melina is on Raw so they don’t really have any strong face Diva’s to face the likes of Maryse.On SmackDown with a weak face Diva Division and plus the fact that SD which right now is getting ready to change net-works from MyNet work to SYFY and they’re not too concerned about,just trying to keep the show going until close to Oct the SD show will be rebuilt.Beth has said she’s working real hard to come back as soon as possible.Melina is getting ready to go to FCW to work off ring rust and she should then be ready to come back and jack up The Raw Diva’s Division.So sometimes things to slow to a crawl.That just happens.And on the subject of Beth that she could then go after laycool.Melina and Beth both said on wwe chat that the title they believe is on layla not on McCool.They just did it that way as to paint the piciture of Beth as a again Dominant face.Some times the show does lag while stars are injured.Just so happens that two top Diva’s are out on the same injury.ACL and it’s put the Diva’s down a little bit.But just wait until Both Melina and Beth are back and the watch the Diva’s pick up which it will.Look how long it took to and how much work it took to move Beth to a face and to become a crowd favorite.Some-times you’ve just got to be patient.At least Melina an Beth are getting some much needed rest .This fall they should both be ready to lite up the Diva’s on Raw and SmackDown.And with Alicia haveing the Diva’s title they can leave it on her and when Melina comes back she walk right into a new fued with Alicia.Melina is going to FCW this next week.At least that’s what she said on wwe chat and her twitter site.

Like or Dislike: August 16th, 2010 at 7:30 am Even though Triple H is married to Steph, he was someone great within the company before he and Steph were romantically involved. Steph didn’t make him, he already was, but I do agree that it helped him to get more camera time, but not that he didn’t pay his dues…Michelle on the other hand is a different matter because her marriage to Taker did help her tons to become someone within the company, don’t get me wrong-I like her, but that’s the way I see it.
