Divas Revolution, Cesaro Section, Kane and More from the SummerSlam Mailbag
Revolutions aren't supposed to be easy. Even in today's era, where a revolution is nothing more than a trendy hashtag, there's still a fight to be had. So it should have come as no surprise that fans grew restless, chanting "We want Lesnar" during an otherwise solid match between Sasha Banks and Nikki Bella on Raw.
If this Divas Revolution is actually going to happen, it'll take more than a hashtag. There needs to be a fight.

Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭
"@ThisIsNasty Why has this"Divas Revolution" been a failure?
— Melanie Gomes (@Melitxix) August 20, 2015"
It's unfair to say the Divas Revolution has been a failure. This is all part of the growing process, which WWE had to know going in.
Remember, women's wrestling is cool in NXT. On the main roster, it's still seen as filler. On a show built around Brock Lesnar's homecoming, booking the Divas so close to the final segment was a death sentence to begin with.
WWE will need to train its fans to take women's wrestling seriously through years of consistent booking on television and pay-per-views. They'll also need to establish babyfaces and heels. A good wrestling match between two women is far from a revolution. It's shimmer.
But a good storyline, buildup and eventual payoff that fans remember for years? There's your revolution.
A Bella Conspiracy?
"@ThisIsNasty is the divas revolution a way 2 make us forget that Nikki is getting closer to AJ's record? Also what does the future hold after stables break up?
— O StephCurry (@Oasis3457) August 16, 2015
"
I always felt Nikki's record was designed to make us forget about AJ Lee. WWE does not hide the fact that Nikki Bella is one of the longest-reigning Divas champions in history, and if she approaches 300 days as champion, I'd be surprised if the statistic was ignored.
The Bellas are the front-runners in the Divas division and are being positioned as the old guard fighting to preserve their spots. Part of that dynasty is Nikki's ongoing reign as Divas champion.
As far as the stables go, I think it's an awkward way to approach the ongoing Divas surge. Through stables, WWE is limiting the amount of potentially great singles matches we can see for the time being. Until the stables evaporate, there will be no potential dream matches between Sasha Banks and Naomi, Charlotte and Paige or Nikki and Brie. OK, maybe just the first two.
Once WWE moves on from the Divas stable, I think this revolution will truly begin to evolve, as it will give the newer Divas opportunities to establish their own identities.
Question of the Week: Cesaro Soaring?
"@ThisIsNasty is Cesarorealizing his main event potential or jobber to the stars?
— Omar Molina (@thegoodguyomar) August 15, 2015
"
Cesaro is definitely realizing his main event potential, but he's no spring chicken. At 34, Cesaro will have a small window to succeed as a main event performer, especially in the midst of a youth movement.
Any success Cesaro has in the main event will depend on external circumstances out of his control. Cesaro simply cannot deliver that fiery promo that will get fans behind him, so they're going to have to rile up themselves. The growing "Cesaro Section" will have to begin hijacking shows and throw a huge tantrum should he lose the Royal Rumble.

Fans will need to chant "Cesaro" even when he's off camera to get the attention of the front office. Cesaro will have a big opportunity to steal the show alongside Kevin Owens at SummerSlam, but this is a match that can just as easily benefit Owens, who attracts an audience similar to Cesaro.
With the growing amount of independent wrestling alumni entering the main roster, the Cesaro movement could easily be cannibalized.
Here Comes the Kane?
"@ThisIsNasty will kanevsBrock lesnarhappen at wrestlemania32?
— RaheemMansaray(@johnnymansaray) August 20, 2015
"
I doubt Kane will even be on the WrestleMania 32 card. But now that you bring it up, I can see Kane getting involved in the Undertaker-Brock Lesnar match as a way to truly establish Undertaker as a heel. WWE did not book Undertaker to kick Lesnar in the groin on two separate occasions because he's a desperate babyface.
Undertaker is a desperate heel who will do anything to beat Lesnar. This includes getting assistance from his younger brother, who was taken out of action by Lesnar himself last month.
Outside interference from Kane would be a way for Lesnar to lose without losing all of his momentum, which took an entire year to build up after he inexplicably lost to John Cena and Triple H early in his WWE comeback run.
