The History of the WWE Divas at WrestleMania

You know...the history of the WWE Divas at WrestleMania is not a very good one.
Did you know that for ten years there were NO Diva matches at WrestleMania?

And out of all the WrestleManias, I can only remember maybe two good matches.

Brie and Nikki Bella vs AJ Lee and Tamina on WWE SmackDown

So on WWE Friday Night SmackDown they had AJ and Tamina taking on Brie and Nikki Bella.
I guess the other ten WWE Divas on the roster were busy.

I expected at least a six on six match up.
You know...to get us ready for Wrestlemania.

But we got this...and the Bella Twins won when Tamina shoved AJ right into the ring and right into a Bella Buster delivered by Brie.

WWE NXT Results - Natalya vs. Charlotte

This week on WWE NXT we had the battle of the blondes, or the battle of the Legacies as Charlotte (the daughter of Ric Flair) took on Natalya (the niece of Bret Hart).
This started because Charlotte and Sasha Banks went after Bayley a few weeks back and made Natalya mad.
And of course it didn't help that Charlotte jumped Natalya at ringside during a match between Bayley and Sasha.

So they had what turned out to be a pretty decent match.
Very technical actually.
Charlotte even took a page out of her father's book and started attacking Natalya's leg.
But of course it finally ended when Nat trapped Charlotte in the Sharpshooter.
But...she was saved from a submission when Sasha ran in and broke it up, giving Natalya the win by DQ.
Of course Nat got a little revenge.....

10 Diva Tag Team - WWE Main Event

On the road to Wrestlemania, I guess the WWE is intent on showing us how bad that 14 diva match is gonna look.
So they give us Natalya, Eva Marie, The Funkadactyls and Emma vs. Summer Rae, Layla, Alicia Fox, Aksana and Tamina Snuka in case we had any doubt.
Aside from a few close calls, no one was hurt.
But out of 14 Divas in the match at Wrestlemania you will have 4 with a lot of ring experience.
Good luck.

AJ vs Naomi - WWE Monday Night Raw

WWE Divas Champion AJ took on Naomi on WWE Monday Night Raw....kind of.
AJ got counted out of the match.
Then the real horror began as Vickie Guerrero came out and announced the 14-Diva single-fall "Vickie Guerrero Invitational" match for the WWE Divas Championship at this years WrestleMania.
Yep...they did it to the Divas once again.
Way to go WWE.

 Is Eva sizing up Nikki?

 Tamina gives AJ a patented "Snuka Look"

AJ handles it with her usual style.....

The Bellas vs. Natalya and Summer Rae on WWE SmackDown

On Friday Night's episode of Total Divas, Natalya....wait...
No...this was WWE SmackDown....but I think the WWE is pulling double duty here....

 

Natalya vs Alicia Fox - WWE Superstars

WWE Diva Alicia Fox gave "Total Diva" Natalya almost more than she could handle.
But of course Nat caught her in the sharpshooter and it was game over.

Layla and Alicia Fox vs. The Funkadactyls - WWE Main Event

The Funkadactyls (Naomi and Cameron) took on Layla and Alicia Fox on WWE Main Event this week....and there was no mention at all of Layla even having been gone.
And she was on the losing end of the match.
Not really good signs for the returning Diva.

 

Cameron and Naomi vs Tamina and AJ Lee on WWE Monday Night Raw

This week on WWE Monday Night Raw, Cameron and Naomi went up against Tamina and AJ Lee.
After the match.....
Holy Deja Vu Batman!
The WWE is stealing plays from TNA's playbook now.....

On WWE Monday Night Raw this week, Tamina Snuka and WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee took on Cameron and a returning Naomi.
Naomi was wearing an eye patch covering her injury from a few weeks back.
I think it's a pretty cool look, kind of a Daryl Hannah/Elle Driver/Kill Bill and female Nick Fury look.

Tamina started off by pounding Cameron around the ring.
Naomi and AJ tag in and Naomi hits AJ with the Rearview and almost pins her.
For the record, I think the Rearview is one of the dumbest wrestling moves of all time.
Right up there with "The People's Elbow" and "The Big Leg".
She hits you with her butt.
Okay......

Anyway, AJ gets Naomi in the "Black Widow"...but Naomi powers out.
Time for a new move.
Naomi slams AJ. and then hits a moonsault, pinning AJ.

Now...after the match AJ goes all psycho and starts yelling at Tamina because they lost and Tamina shoves AJ down.
Hey....didn’t I see this on TNA Wrestling last week?
Yes I did.

Tamina vs. Nikki Bella - WWE Smackdown

On WWE Smackdown last Friday Night, Nikki Bella took down Tamina after taking a stout Superkick to the mouth.
And she also delivered the Rack Attack to her 150 pound opponent with authority.
I hate to say it....but I liked it!

Paige vs Sasha Banks on WWE NXT

On WWE NXT, Paige and Sasha Banks showed why the WWE NXT Divas are just as good if not better than the WWE Divas on the main roster.

Sara Del Rey - The WWE's First Female Trainer

If you wonder why the WWE Divas and the NXT Divas keep looking better and better as time goes on, part of the reason is this lady right here.
The WWE Diva's first female trainer, Sara Del Rey.

AJ Lee vs Natalya on WWE Main Event

On WWE Main event, AJ Lee tangled with Natalya again.
But hey, they are the two best Divas that the WWE has, so this was like a PPV match for free.
Even the audience got into it!

AJ Lee and Tamina Snuka vs. the Bella Twins on Monday Night Raw

On this weeks WWE Monday Night Raw, AJ Lee and Tamina Snuka took on Brie and Nikki, the Bella Twins.
No Nikki didn't win the belt.
She just had it.

Monday Night Raw - The Bella Twins vs. Aksana and Alicia Fox

On Monday Night Raw this past Monday we got two and a half Diva matches.
The half match was Summer Rae and Fandango vs. Emma and Santino Marella and the full match was the Bella Twins vs. Aksana and Alicia Fox aka "Foxsana".
Standard Diva match, which is kinda sad considering how well the WWE Diva bouts were for the most part last week.

Do you know that Alicia Fox has been with the WWE for almost eight years now?
She should be WAY better than she is.

Anyway, like I said, pretty standard back and forth match with Nikki hitting the "Rack Attack" for the win.
It's matches like this that keep me from getting really excited about the Diva's division

The Bella Twins vs. Aksana and Alicia Fox from earlier this year....

AJ Lee vs Cameron on WWE Friday Night SmackDown

The WWE had a lot of decent Divas matches last week and though AJ Lee vs Cameron on WWE Friday Night SmackDown was not one of the greatest, it was pretty good.

WWE Main Event Results - Alicia Fox and Aksana vs Eva Marie and Natalya

The WWE had some great women's matches this week.
Well most of them were....

This match was on WWE Main Event and it really wasn’t much to look at.
Alicia Fox and Aksana aka "Foxsana" took on Eva Marie and Natalya.
You know...it wasn’t that long ago Eva was a Heel.
When did that change?
Heck....I have no idea.

It was a pretty standard match with Foxsana winning after Natalya tried to get the Sharpshooter on Aksana, she kicked out, Nat hit Eva and that set her up for Aksana to nail her with the "Divo Drop".
Making your partner get pinned, even by accident, is one of the quickest ways back to Heel territory.
So expect Eva back there soon.

The only real wrestling action we saw was when Natalya got the "Hot Tag" from Eva and she came in wide open and....wrestled!

It's a shame really.
These women are all beautiful and if she could get it together, Eva could be the next Kelly Kelly.
Not a hugely competent wrestler, but better than she is now.
And believe it or not I really WANT her to succeed.

WWE NXT - Paige Vs Emma

One of the best WWE Divas matches in a long time.
NXT Champion Paige vs Emma on NXT.
