Just before the Battleground pay-per-view a female wrestling ‘revolution’ was activated by Stephanie McMahon and WWE. Like Princess Leia to Obi-Wan, after watching them tear up NXT, we all held great hope for the prospect of these women changing the game; praying all the while that creative would not fuck up this main roster movement.

So about a month-and-a-half on, has the revolution taken the wrestling world by storm as it vowed, or have they pissed it right up the wall?

Well, while it hasn’t been a nightmare, it hasn’t nearly met the lofty expectations were anticipated and most segments have been B and C standard at best.

And all of all these segments, Monday night’s MizTV portion and subsequent match was the worst of the lot. Heel Miz’s ‘when my hand goes up, your mouth goes shut’ line got the biggest pop of the slot as fans were simply bored of the chatter and wished the ‘A-lister’ had put a total stop to it.

Fan’s boredom continued through yet ANOTHER 3 v 3 tag match that felt like it lasted an eternity – we’ve seen this fight (or a variation of it) far too many times recently and the booking must improve in order to salvage the angle and stop the audience turning on the girls. Paige and the Bellas took to Twitter in order to battle back against the uninterested fanbase; but if the product stinks, what do you truly expect?

Unlike the thrilling NXT women’s storylines (see Bayley’s rise to the title, compelling stuff), all of the female athletes here have been chucked into one big melting pot. As a result nothing feels like it actually matters or accelerates the story, meaning a lot of Divas are lost in the shuffle and nobody is getting over.

Sasha, Charlotte and Becky are now passengers on a train that they were once piloting at rocket speed. It’s a real shame because I, and every other WWE fan, want to see these Divas succeed – right now though, it feel very 2 step forward, 1 step back; little progress has been achieved.

Frankly, the division makeover has already gone stale. We see the same combination of matches and hear JBL waffle on about Nikki’s title run each and every week. Repetitive doesn’t even cover it. Not only does this need to stop, it must stop – for the sake of all the present and future Divas.

Ultimately though, my major irk lies with the buzzword corporate bullshit surrounding the women. It’s painfully clear that it’s not about them, like it is in NXT; it’s all about: ‘women in sports,’ ‘a revolution,’ hashtags and Stephanie McMahon.

Until that business-world bollocks is banished from the whole scenario I disappointingly cannot see the Diva’s division improving a great deal. Things need a shake-up, things need true direction, and things, most of all, need to be organic – forcing this tripe onto the plates won’t rally people, it will repel them.
