Big Update on WWE's New Approach to the Divas Division

Isย WWE on the verge of taking a drastically different approach with their struggling women's division?ย 

In this week's (subscription needed) F4W Newsletter, Bryan Alvarez offers some very interesting insight into the mentalityย behind the recentย signing of indie sensation Sara Del Rey.

He notes that sources indicate that WWEย have grown weary ofย hiringย models with no experience in recent times, primarilyย due to the great deal of theย models-turned-wrestlers that have left the company over the last year or so:ย ย ย ย 

"

According to one source, this is WWE's answer to the problem of employing swimsuit models who end up getting frustrated and walking out of the company (Kelly Kelly, Bella Twins, Maryse, Maxine, etc.).

"

Heย goes on to mention that Del Rey could have another role inย WWE: "It is also believed that she will assist in training some of the girls."ย 

If this is indeed the case,ย WWE's new line of thinkingย makesย sense. Presumably, a passionateย veteran like Del Rey (who has stated in the past her long-term ambitionย has always beenย to go to WWE) will be willing to stick around longer thanย a relativeย newcomer to the business would (Maxine or Maryse, for example).

However, unless WWE solves the problems of what is truly plaguing their division (lack ofย TV time for the vast majority of the Divas Division,ย little or no attention paid toย their storylines), it's very easy to envisage a scenario in which Del Rey grows frustrated and unhappy like so many women before her.
