First and foremost, this article is not meant to criticize the Divas based on looks, how they talk, or anything that is superficially based on appearance. This article is meant to criticized how the WWE creative team is currently booking the Divas.
Every week, especially on RAW, one tends to have a deja vu sensation when seeing what each show has to offer. The show always focuses on the rivalries of the same guys: Randy Orton, Triple H, Batista, John Cena, etc.! How many times can the creative team recycle the same formula over and over?!
Well it seems the marvelous minds behind the creative team tends to focus their attention on recycling matches instead of giving some of importance to the women’s division.
Back in the late 90s through early 2000s, the women’s division was something to talk about. You had Divas such as Lita, Luna Vachon, Trish Stratus, Sable, and among many others, who were able to put on matches that were as entertaining, if not more entertaining than their male counterparts.
Further proof can be directed to the tremendous pops these women would receive week after week. At the height of her popularity, Lita would receive a pop like no other.
The audience loved her to death.
Now flash forward a few years, and where do we see the women’s division?! The main event Divas are not longer around. Former bikini models are dominated by skilled wrestlers.
Summerslam is considered to be WWE’s second biggest yearly pay per view, and if rumors are true, the Divas do not have a match listed on the card.
The Divas are a huge draw, constantly drawing some of the highest rating for each weekly show, and are constantly put on the back-burner on a weekly basis. One is exposed to lazy booking, lazy ideas in setting up feuds, and the list can go on.
There used to be a time when the Divas had the capability to main event Raw or Smackdown. Now, WWE wouldn’t even think about it. The creative team seems to be stuck on John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton, or Batista. WWE fans aren’t stupid, and are clearly aware of the same recycled formula.
It was utterly ridiculous that John Cena survived the odds in defeating The Miz, when there were about 15 heel wrestlers in the outside. We get it, Cena is strong.
The Divas are the other hand, what feud is currently going on that is worth mentioning?! Who is the current Divas Champion Mickie James feuding with?! She is currently in la la land, wrestling in tag teams against heel Divas.
There was a possible feud with Gail, having heel turn teased last week, but that seemed be to dropped.
