For too long these women have been taking the back seat of the WWE programming. So much potential ruined by bad writing and cowardice. That time is past, and now a new era in women’s wrestling is about to begin.
AJ Lee and the total divas have already put the divas division back on the map and with the likes of Emma, Summer Rae and Paige coming in from NXT, it does look like a promising division.
Here is a lookout for the top 5 women of the division.
5. Tamina
Tamina Snuka is AJ’s unofficial bodyguard. She accompanies her to ringside, runs offense on the outside of the ring and is a general thorn in the side of any Diva who challenges AJ.
But while Tamina is doing an admirable job of playing the heavy next to AJ, sooner rather than later, she would turn and challenge for the title. If a breakup between the two women is handled properly, then Tamina could come out of it looking great and with more positive spotlight than she has ever had before.
She is great in the ring, and her current role keeps her in the spotlight too.
4. Natalya
Natalya is highly regarded as perhaps the best worker in WWE’s Divas division. She is technically sound in the ring and can put on a good match with almost any Diva in the company. She has the right amount of sex appeal, toughness and ability to reign over the Divas division and be a very credible champion for months to come.
Only she lacks in charisma and therefore finds it hard to get over with the fans on the whole. Will she be given another chance? Whatever the answer to that is, she is ,without a doubt, a great talent.
3. Brie Bella
One half of the glamorous Bella Twins, Brie is the half which is much better in the ring and on the microphone. She’s sexy, she’s feisty and she’s very tough in the ring. She is a scrapper, a Diva who just keeps fighting despite how outnumbered or physically beaten up she may be. In many ways, her career is currently emulating that of her fiance Bryan.
While the Bellas are likely still viewed by many fans as the glitz and glamour of the Divas division, Brie has gotten much better in the ring and has blossomed as an all-around performer. She’s underrated as a worker in the ring, and at some point she should be given a Divas Championship run.
She therefore earns the third spot among the current talent.
2.Naomi
Naomi is more than good enough not only to challenge AJ Lee, but to take the title from her as well.
They may have started as just dancers for Brodus, but the Funkadactyls have proven their worth in the ring. Naomi is just better as a performer. She’s more inventive, more dynamic with her move set. She’s also just more fun to watch in the ring.
She has all the traits that WWE looks for in a champion; she’s tough, she’s sexy, she’s smart and she has confidence in the ring.
She could step in right now and become a legit Divas champion without the title losing any ground whatsoever. In fact, the belt would actually gain a new spotlight thanks to Naomi being featured on Total Divas.
In the recent past, she had been built as the diva who can lead the division, before her unfortunate injury. It would be an interesting return though.
1. AJ Lee
AJ Lee has been the WWE Divas champion since June 16, 2013, and in all that time she has proven to be one of the most popular titleholders in the company. Even though she is playing a heel, the fact is that AJ’s character is one of the most entertaining in WWE.
Her reputation as slightly crazy has become so ordinary now that fans are very accustomed to seeing it. It definitely separates her from the rest of the female talent in Vince McMahon‘s company and puts her in a category all her own.
