Top 5 Divas of the week

Top 5 Divas of the week


This was a great week for the divas. Every match we got was to a high standard, and the Divas Title match was one of the best I've seen in a long time. Below is a recap of this weeks matches and the score I gave them:

Sasha Banks and Naomi vs Alicia Fox and Nikki Bella- 7/10
Brie Bella vs Charlotte- 6/10
Alexa Bliss vs Peyton Royce- 6/10
Billie Kay vs Asuka- 7/10
Sasha Banks vs Brie Bella- 8/10
Paige vs Nikki Bella- 7/10
Nikki Bella vs Charlotte- 9.5/10

Top 5

5. Paige


Paige may have lost her match on Smackdown this week, but she is currently one of the only divas that is getting any sort of character development and although this character is not exactly what most fans want, it's better than nothing.

4. Brie Bella


This week Brie had two good matches and has made some improvements to her in ring work. Over the last few weeks I have noticed a definite difference and it's good that she's being used more in the ring.

3. Billie Kay


This week I was really impressed with Billie Kay in the ring, and outside the ring. She seems to have polished up her overall image and character, and is currently a few steps ahead of Peyton.

2. Nikki Bella


This week Nikki had one of the best matches of her career and proved herself to all of the doubters. I am not the biggest Bella fan, but no one can say that she can't wrestle.

1. Charlotte


At Hell In A Cell Charlotte successfully defended her Divas Title in a great match. Although I am not fully on board with her reign so far, I have a feeling she will bring some great matches to the table and prove me wrong.

Hell In A Cell: Nikki Bella vs Charlotte (C)

Hell In A Cell: Nikki Bella vs Charlotte (C)


My prediction was correct and Charlotte retained her Divas Championship. Although I wouldn't really care which way it went, I think it's about time for Nikki to have a reasonably long break, and permanently leave the title picture. If I'm honest, I didn't go into this PPV expecting much from the divas, but once again, they proved me wrong. I can't think of a main roster divas match this year that has even come close to this one, which is why I think it's a good note to end Nikki's participation in the title picture. This was 100 percent Nikki's best match to date, and I can't think of a reason to keep her as a focal point after this. The match went on for a good 10 minutes and was fast paced, but they also incorporate some impressive spots into it, which added to the intensity. 


As for where the storyline will go after this, I would guess it will go in a direction with Paige and Becky, solely based upon the celebration after the match. I think they're definitely saving Sasha for Mania, and aren't likely to push Naomi, so that's where I think it will go. We've also still got the storyline with 'who attacked Natalya' and I'm really hoping they're smart with this and go for a Becky heel turn. Becky has had a somewhat, lackluster main roster experience so far, and I think a change of character is definitely needed, so maybe this is what will push into the title picture. But realistically, they'll go for the obvious option, and Paige will be the attacker.
As I previously said, I was so impressed with this match, and both women carried themselves flawlessly. Nikki has proved herself as a wrestler this year, and no body can say she can't wrestle. I will give this match a score of 9.5/10.

Hell In A Cell Predictions: Nikki Bella vs Charlotte (C)

Hell In A Cell Predictions: Nikki Bella vs Charlotte (C)


Tonight we have Nikki Bella vs Charlotte for the divas championship, and honestly it could go either way. There are many reasons that would point to Nikki winning the title back tonight, however I just can't see Charlotte dropping it this soon. Charlotte's reign so far has been beyond disappointing, but I still have hope for her to turn it around by starting a new feud. I am predicting that this match will get around 15 minutes, and will end by Charlotte making Nikki tap out. 

Nikki could also easily win it back tonight, as her winning it would make her one step closer from removing AJ from the records, but I just don't think Charlotte, being a Flair, will have a reign so short.

Raw, NXT, Main Event and Smackdown


The first match we got on Raw was yet another tag team match. This match started slowly, but definitely picked up towards the end. I particularly liked the chemistry between Sasha and Alicia, and I thought that Nikki under performed this week. 


On the whole, I am enjoying this little feud they have going on. I like the fact that they are capitalising on the Sasha chants, and building a storyline around it. I think it was the right move to make. I will give this match a score of 7/10.


Next up was Brie vs Charlotte again. I feel like we've seen this match almost every week and it doesn't get any better each time. There was nothing memorable about this match and I didn't care for it at all. It was just another predictable win for Charlotte.


I will give this match a score of 6/10.

NXT:

Alexa Bliss vs Peyton Royce: 6/10
Billie Kay vs Asuka: 7/10

Main Event:

Sasha Banks vs Brie Bella: 8/10

Smackdown;

Paige vs Nikki Bella: 7/10

Diva Freak Weekly Roundup: Raw, Main Event, NXT, Smackdown, Top 5

Raw: Nikki Bella vs Naomi, Alicia Fox and Brie Bella vs Charlotte and Becky Lynch


This week on Raw we had two divas matches, the first being the former divas champ taking on Naomi in one on one action. This match was short and forgettable, and primarily centered around a rest hold. However, the fact that there was some sort of storyline development out weighed some of the negatives. I am really enjoying this whole feud between Team BAD and Team Bella, and I think there will be a few unexpected turns out of it. 


I will only give this match a score of 5/10.


Next was Brie Bella and Alicia Fox vs Charlotte and Becky Lynch. I honestly thought this match was a mess. It was pretty short and Alicia didn't even get to tag in. I'm glad it sort of furthered the weak storyline, but the fact that the divas champion was pinned after a drop kick is quite difficult to ignore.


I will give this match a score of 3/10.

We also got an amazing promo by Summer Rae. There was absolutely nothing negative to say about it, and I'm so glad they have more faith in her, and I'm fully expecting her to be a focal part of the division in 2016.

Main Event

Naomi and Tamina vs Brie Bella and Nikki Bella- 8/10

NXT

Nia Jax vs Evie - 4/10

Smackdown

Charlotte vs Alicia Fox- 5/10

NXT Takeover: Respect, Main Event, Smackdown and Weekly Roundup

NXT Takeover: Respect, Main Event, Smackdown and Weekly Roundup


Once again, my WiFi broke this week, which is why I am summarizing all of last weeks wrestling into one post. Last week was a monumental week for women's wrestling and it was a great time to be a supporter of the product. Not only did we witness the first ever Iron-woman match in WWE history, it was also one of the longest and best womens match I have ever seen. 

Of course there is absolutely no doubt that this match scored 10/10 for me.

Naomi vs Paige: 8/10


Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Natalya vs Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox: 7/10

Raw: Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox vs Sasha Banks, Tamina and Naomi, Natalya vs Paige

Raw: Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox vs Sasha Banks, Tamina and Naomi, Natalya vs Paige


This week on Raw we got Team BAD vs Team Bella once again. Yes, it was a good match, but what did it do for the story? I am so bored of these constant tag team matches, that add nothing to the progression of the story. Sasha picked up the victory again, and I'm not sure whether it's because it was in her hometown, or if they actually plan on putting her in some sort of match for Hell In A Cell. It's almost as if they're not sure who they want to push, or what they want to push them for, they just know they want them to stay relevant. There are other ways this can be done. Have Team BAD feud with other divas? Keep Nikki vs Charlotte separate, and have Sasha in a segment with someone that she can actually feud with, and further a storyline with. Yes, Sasha was great on the mic on Raw, but we all know that it won't lead to anything and to put it bluntly, it was a waste of time. There's no point in putting something on TV that won't lead to anything. It's just a shame that it couldn't have been Sasha and someone else in a segment. 


The match was pretty good. There were a few noticeable botches, more than usual I might add, however the match overall was decent. This was another extremely slow paced match, and once again Sasha got the hot tag and won. All the women in this match are capable of putting on a better showing that what we got and it's just a shame they don't get to prove it. However, once again this match got a great amount of time, which is something the divas revolution has really changed, although there's still the ever growing issue of the lack of storyline development on a week to week basis. Taking into account the botching and the lack of story telling, I'll give this match a score of 6/10.


On Raw we also got Paige vs Natalya, in what I would class as a very good match. I love the dynamic these two have, and the chemistry is just crazy. The only negative thing I can say is that this match wasn't saved for Hell In A Cell. This mini feud definitely could have ended at a PPV, and there is still a possibility of that happening, but I honestly just can't see it. This is probably the only real storyline that is going on right now, and it's slowly fizzling out, so I'm not really sure what's going to happen next with Nattie particularly, but I would loooove to see Nattie get a title shot.


I really enjoyed  Paige's heel work in this match, and she reminded me why I was such a fan in the past. I will give this match a score 9/10.


We also got a segment involving Summer Rae. Summer is still doing amazing in this role and I'm so thankful that she's still being pushed as Rusev's valet, and now I guess it's just a waiting game for Lana to return and have her match against Summer.
