Diva Freakk Weekly Roundup

Diva Freakk Weekly Roundup

This was a pretty average week for the divas in my eyes, although it is only classed as average compared to the recent standard. We got three decent matches this week, and although they lacked storyline development, they all served their purpose and entertained us. Below is a recap of this weeks matches, and the scores I gave them.

Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch vs Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox: 6/10

Emma and Dana Brooke vs Peyton Royce and Billie Kay: 7/10

Sasha Banks, Tamina and Naomi vs Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox: 7/10

As you can see from the above list, the matches this week were relatively good, however as I said before, they all lacked storyline development. Yes, we had the involvement of Natalya on Raw, but what did that really do for the storyline? We already know the situation with Nattie and Paige from the Smackdown segment, and this involvement did nothing but repeat that revelation, just in a different way. the NXT match was impressive, but again lacked any sort of storyline. Peyton and Billie are pretty much still the nameless jobbers they were before, as they have no character and are still yet to win a match. Finally, the Smackdown match was another impressive showing, but once again there was no story told at all. This is something the writers URGENTLY need to work on, because I know I'm not the only one getting tired. 

5. Paige

This week Paige didn't win any matches, however she was involved in the tiny amount of story telling that was told throughout the week, which earns her a spot in the top 5.

4. Natalya

This week Natalya also didn't win any matches, but has recently been added into the mix of relevant divas, and was involved in the match on Raw.

3. Sasha Banks

This week Sasha pinned the former divas champion, Nikki, on Smackdown, This was a big win for Sasha and could possibly put her in the title picture.

2. Nikki Bella

This week Nikki defeated the Divas Champion, Charlotte on Raw. Although she is already the number one contender by default, this gives her more momentum running up to her inevitable title re match.

1. Dana Brooke

Dana has quickly become one of my favourite NXT divas. I wasn't all for her originally, but this girl is such a great heel, it's difficult for me not be a fan. I absolutely love her mic work, and her attitude and she instantly catches my attention when she talks. Even though her ring work is still a bit stiff, she is clearly improving at a fast pace, and I love watching her on NXT. It was announced this week that she will be facing Asuka in her debut match at NXT Takeover: Respect. This is a big opportunity for Dana, and the only question is, is she ring ready enough for the match? That's a question only she can answer, and we'll all see soon enough. I really hope she proves all the doubters wrong.
