With Time, the Divas Division Can Be Successful

by

How many times have you heard someone say that the WWE’s Divas Division has no talent? I have heard it a lot. It’s common, especially among the IWC (Internet Wrestling Community). For years, people have insulted the Divas Division, and to be fair, they’ve had a point for quite some time. They complained about divas like Kelly Kelly and the Bella Twins. Why wouldn’t they? Other their great looks, Kelly Kelly and the Bella Twins provided nothing (at the time). None of them could wrestle! However, those times are behind us. The divas division does have talent, skill, and the ability to wrestle now. No, it’s not like it was years ago with the likes of Trish Stratus, Lita, Candice Michelle, Mickie James, Gail Kim, and others, but it’s also not like it was a few years ago. The division is much better and improved.

On Monday, we witnessed the return of AJ Lee. As Paige was on the mic, talking about how she belongs in the WWE, we heard AJ’s music play. The beauty skipped to the ring. Then, she challenged Paige to a match for the Divas Championship. After intially declining, Paige accepting the challenge. AJ quickly beat Paige to regain the title.

Almost everyone knows the talent of AJ Lee. She has charisma, mic skills, and can wrestle. AJ is extremely talented and entertaining. Everyone knows, or should know, that. After all, AJ has been involved in many interesting storylines and has even main evented many shows, including Raw. Her talent is undeniable. Now, AJ is once again the Divas Champion and ready to lead the Divas Division.

Though she may have lost on Monday, Paige isn’t finished with AJ. Like AJ, Paige is a talented diva, too. She can work the mic, as we saw on Monday, and work well in the ring, as we saw on Sunday and many other occassions, including the night after Wrestlemania 30 when she beat AJ for the title. Paige is a young diva with potential to get even better.

AJ and Paige are 1-1 against each other, at the moment. WWE should continue this feud. Actually, they should expand and develop this feud. Both divas are talented and entertaining. They deserve to be on TV and their talents can’t go to waste. If WWE gives the two divas time, they’ll see many great things happen. People will be intrigued with the Divas Division. The key is time and creativity. On Monday, Paige and AJ didn’t get much time, but were still exciting to watch in their limited time. If they get more time, they do wonders on the mic and in the ring. Also, WWE has to build legitimate storylines with their divas. This isn’t just a problem with the Divas Division alone, but the entire product as a whole.

Outside of AJ and Paige, WWE has many other talented divas on the roster. Natalya has proven that she is very capable of performing well in the squared circle, but has never been given much time to showcase her skills. Naomi is a very athletic diva that can put together a good match. Nikki Bella has come a long way from a few years ago. She has improved in the ring. Overall, WWE has a good group of divas on their roster (not to mention NxT), but they need to give them time and effort to allow them to excel. If WWE gives at least 10-15 minutes on Raw and Smackdown to the divas, everyone will get to see the talent in the divas division. Also, on pay-per-views, WWE must give the Divas Championship match plenty of time. One of the major reasons why we were able to see the talents of Lita and Trish Stratus was because of the great amounts of time that they were given. I’m not saying that the current group of divas are as talented as Lita or Trish, but they do have talent and need time to show their ability in the ring and on the mic.

No longer can anyone say that divas division isn’t talented, because it is. Led by AJ Lee and Paige, the Divas Division, with the right amount of time, can entertain the WWE Universe.
