First Article: WWE in the Now

Diva's Championship

Maryse has been a great antagonist in this division, and will finally face Mickie James (her kryptonite it seems). She is primed to lose the title, and make Mickie the second woman ever to hold the Diva's and Women's Titles at one point (thanks Undertaker for pushing Michelle McCool).

Mickie deserves that distinction (over the current women on the roster).

There are some individuals that can challenge for the belt. Beth Phoenix should always be considered a top contender, and Gail Kim was just moved to Raw (let's hope they do something, anything, with her). Jillian is a good worker, and Kelly Kelly has improved a lot (and is very popular).

The talent is there. It is a shame that Raw is more of a story-driven show, and cuts back on the actual wrestling. I think you could have two rivalries going on at any given time (bi-weekly) in the divas division. If only WWE would give them something (good) to work with.

Women's Championship

Michelle McCool vs. Melina. Pretty much set in stone for a while.

This division has less talent than the Diva's division though. Natalya (Neidhart) is a good worker, as are the two women previously mentioned.

Outside of that, Maria, Layla, and Eve Torres are just there. They don't bring much to the table other than looks.

As such, you could consider this the weakest division (and title) in the WWE.

Final Thoughts

Some short thoughts I'd like to share with you:

- I think Christian got screwed by the draft (but I guess WWE needs SOME name on ECW that could draw).

- Shawn Michaels is undeniably needed on Raw (need top faces and new feuds)

- The Undertaker is not need on Smackdown (they are just fine)

- The Bella twins add nothing to WWE (I'm even bored at how they look already)

- The Miz, although not ready for the main event, should be pushed (and kept) in the upper mid card for now (and not lower)

Thanks for reading, and I hope this was not too excruciatingly long.
