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.

Thank you for reading.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Smackdown: Team Bella vs Team B.A.D

Smackdown: Team Bella vs Team B.A.D

This week on Smackdown, we got yet another 6 divas tag team match. The fact that these matches are getting such a large amount of time is great, but they all just blur into one pointless match. They're showing absolutely no direction of Storyline, and not only Smackdown, but on Raw too. It's obvious that they want Team B.A.D to stay relevant, but also don't want them in the title picture, which means they have to slot them in whenever they can, alas, these endless tag team matches. At the moment, it's difficult to decipher what direction they plan on going for Hell In A cell, as Paige is a clear contender, there's Sasha, and now there's Nattie. On top of that, there is the possibility of getting Paige vs Nattie, and therefore it could be a Triple Threat involving Sasha, Charlotte and Nikki. I would be happy with having those two matches, but ideally I would like Naomi to take priority over Sasha, but clearly that's not likely. 

So, this match was technically good, but I'm just so bored of these matches that have no relevance to any kind of story. It's getting very boring. It's so frustrating because there are so many different things they could do. The match itself was impressive. There was a good dynamic between slow and past faced maneuvers and the match flowed nicely. Based on that, and the time it got, I'll give the match a score of 7/10. 

After the match there was a brief backstage segment between Charlotte, Becky and Paige. It was very short, but at least it developed some sort of story, although I don't like the heel Paige we've been seeing recently, and it's definitely not what I, along with most people were anticipating. 

Thank you for reading.

NXT: Emma and Dana Brooke vs Peyton Royce and Billie Kay

NXT: Emma and Dana Brooke vs Peyton Royce and Billie Kay

This week on NXT we got a backstage segment and a four divas tag team match. The backstage segment was used as a way of announcing that Dana Brooke will take on Asuka at the next live special. I liked the first part of the segment, (even though Emma's attempts to be heel were beyond cringey), however the second part seemed a bit weird to me. They were watching a video of Asuka training, but it went on for quite a while, and all the audience could see was their faces. It was a bit awkward. It would have been fine for a few seconds, but it went on for about 20. 

Immediately after, came the match. Peyton and Billie were already in the ring and Dana and Emma had separate entrances. I really like Dana's entrance, and I really liked her gear/ next came out Emma, and I also love her gear. Her entrance needs a bit of work, but she looks like a great heel, it's just the talking that brings her down. The match got a good amount of time, and I was pretty impressed by all of the women involved. They all worked very well together, and I loved that it was fast paced. 

I really liked this match. It was fast paced and got a good amount of time and therefore I will give it a score of 7/10.

Thank you for reading.

Raw: Miz TV Segment, Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch vs Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox

Raw: Miz TV Segment, Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch vs Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox

On Raw this week we had a great Divas segment, followed by a six divas tag team match. Charlotte and Becky began the segment with The Miz, which was followed by the inclusion of Team Bella and Paige. It was always common knowledge that Charlotte wasn't the greatest on the mic, however recently she has shown a substantial amount of improvement, which is always well received. Becky Lynch is also a pretty good talker, and the two are definitely capable of carrying a segment. Nikki Bella was also decent on the mic this week, however once again she was over using the "You know what.." line, but that;s easily ignored. Paige is another diva that is pretty good on the mic, and I enjoy the change in her vocabulary and tone as a heel. The segment ended in a brawl, which lead into a 6 diva tag team match after commercial.

Next up, the team of Paige, Charlotte and Becky Lynch faced off against The Bella Twins and Alicia Fox. This match got a decent amount of time, and was quite fast paced, however I thought it was lacking something. Nothing about that match stuck in my mind, other than the fact that it consisted of basic move after basic move, and constant tagging in and out. I liked Natalya's involvement, and I liked the ending but I just thought that the overall match could have been constructed better, and could have been a better showing for the divas. In all honesty, I think the majority of fans would rather see Team B.A.D involved in this feud over every other team, yet they are constantly put in the back burner. Team B.A.D are the hottest team right now, and striking whilst the iron is hot would mean adding at least one team member (preferably Naomi) into the title match at Hell In A Cell. I honestly don't understand the logic in setting the most over Team aside, but that's WWE for you. At this point, I firmly standing behind my prediction that we will get Charlotte vs Nikki Bella vs Paige vs Natalya at Hell In A Cell, with either Charlotte or Nikki coming out on top. Although I don't mind this idea, I would much prefer to see, maybe a six pack challenge, or something else that we haven't seen in a long time. 

Although this match was long, it was not the type of match I really enjoy, and therefor I will give it a relatively low score of 6/10.

Thank you for reading.

This has been another good week for the divas. We had a return from Natalya, a heel turn from Paige and a few good matches. Here's a recap of this weeks matches and their scores:

Charlotte vs Brie Bella- 6/10

Naomi vs Natalya- 7/10

Eva Marie vs Carmella- 5/10

Naomi, Tamina and Sasha Banks vs Nikki Bella, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox- 8/10

5. Naomi

This week Naomi got a pinfall victory on Raw, and also was on the winning team on Main Event.

4. Charlotte

Charlotte got a one on one victory on Raw against Brie Bella and was also involved in two good segments this week.

3. Asuka

This week Asuka made an impactful NXT debut and has got everyone hyped. I am expecting great things from her.

2. Natalya

This week Natalya made her return to TV and had a match against Naomi on Raw, after a backstage segment with Paige. Nattie was also involved in a great in ring segment on Smackdown.

1. Paige

This week Paige finally turned heel and has freshened up her stale character. This was definitely a good decision by creative, and now hopefully I can begin to be a fan again.

Thank you for reading.

Main Event and Smackdown: Team B.A.D vs Team Bella. Divas Segment

Main Event and Smackdown: Team B.A.D vs Team Bella. Divas Segment

On Main Event this week we got a great six divas tag team match. It got a very good amount of time and was one of the est tag team matches I've seen in a while. When the Bella's are finally out of the title picture, it would be nice for them to maybe feud with Team B.A.D. I'm fully expecting it to be Nikki vs Paige vs Charlotte at Hell In A cell, however I am really hoping for either Sasha, Naomi or Nattie to be added. It would be nice to have some new divas fight over the belt, as something fresh is well needed. This match was very impressive, and really showed each character individually. One thing that I did see as a negative thing was the fact hat Nikki didn't really act as if she had just lost her title. It would have been nice, in my opinion, if she was maybe intentionally more aggressive in her match to show her anger/frustration over her loss.

I will give this match a score of 8/10.

On Smackdown we also got a very good divas segment between Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Paige and Natalya. I am so happy Nattie has gotten involved in this storyline , as it should have happened months ago. I'm still hopeful that this will lead to Nattie being involved in the title match, but I'm not going to expect anything. So, it looks like Nattie has possibly replaced Paige in team PCB? Well, I don't really mind either way, as long as Nattie remains on TV.

Thank you for reading.

NXT: Carmella vs Eva Marie, Asuka Debut

Main Event, NXT and Smackdown

This week on NX, Eva Marie and Carmella faced off once again. Each of the two women and improving each time we see them, however I'm still not that behind the idea of Eva becoming a part of the womens championship picture. I am hoping she stays in NXT for a decent amount of time, even though I feel like they are going to rush her up to the main roster as soon as possible, but I really don't see her fitting in with the likes of Bayley and Sasha in the Women's championship matches. If anything. she'll bring down what the NXT women made of the female division. Don't get me wrong, I am definitely beginning to warm to Eva, I just think she should stay where she is in the pecking order for a while.
So, this match was pretty good, but not great. Eva is still stiff in terms of selling, however she is definitely getting better at offence. Carmella also continues to improve week after week, however unlike Eva, she continues to be ignored.

So, overall I definitely see improvement, even if there is still a long way to go. I will give this match a score of 5/10.

Also on NXT this week we had Asuka's debut. The segment was pretty good and I'm looking forward to her in ring debut. I was actually quite impressed with Emma on the mic this week, and of course Dana did a great job. I am really starting to warm to these two, however I still think Emma would be better as a face.

Thank you for reading.

Raw: Natalya vs Naomi, Charlotte vs Brie Bella, Natalya's return and Paige's heel turn

Raw: Natalya vs Naomi, Charlotte vs Brie Bella, Natalya's return and Paige's heel turn

So this weeks Raw was a stacked one for the divas. Firstly, we got a great segment from our new Divas Champ Charlotte. With her dad present, Charlotte made a typical babyface promo, thanking her dad, Becky Lynch and eventually Paige. Charlotte says that she's followed in Paige's footsteps and went on to say how Paige was idol etc. This lead to a fully expected heel turn by Paige. I must say, I was very impressed with Paige's mic work here. She called Charlotte a place holder and Becky irrelevant, before insinuating the Bella's success was due to who they're sleeping with. So, overall it was a definitely a great segment, and I think this was definitely the right thing to do with Paige's character.

Next up. Charlotte took on Brie Bella in a pretty good match. I found it to be too slow for my liking, and I got a bit bored half way through. It was very similar to the match on Sunday. Very focused on the leg, and submission based. Of course, Charlotte picked up the victory.

As I already said, I found this match quite tedious, and therefore I will give it a score of 6/10.

On Raw we also got Natalya vs Naomi, in what I thought was a great match. It was so nice to see Nattie on TV again, and it's great to see that it looks like she's getting involved in a storyline. Nattie and Naomi have always had great chemistry, so to no surprise, this was a good match. 

I thought this match was very good, and I'm looking forward to seeing Nattie more often. I will give this match a score of 7/10.

Thank you for reading.

Diva Freakk Weekly Roundup

This was a pretty good week for the divas. We got a new divas Champ, a record was broken, and we had a few good matches. Below is a recap of this weeks matches, and their scores:

Sasha Banks vs Paige: 8/10

Charlotte vs Nikki Bella: 9/10

Bayley vs Sarah Dobson: 5/10

Sasha Banks and Naomi vs Paige and Becky Lynch: 7/10

Charlotte vs Nikki Bella: 9/10

5. Paige

Paige didn't really do all that much this week, but clearly all of these losses are leading up to something, and I, along with most people, believe it's a heel turn. Paige definitely needs some sort of revival, and this possible heel turn should hopefully give her what she needs to work with.

4. Sasha Banks

This week Sasha got a win over Paige again on Raw, and also participated in a very good segment with Bayley on NXT. It was also announced that the two will face off in a 30 minute iron woman match for the Womens Championship, at the next Live Special.

3. Bayley

This week on NXT Bayley defeated Mary Dobson, in a decent match. It was also announced that should would defend her title against Sasha Banks at the next Live Special in a 30 minute iron woman match.

2. Nikki Bella

This week Nikki became the longest reigning divas champion of all time, and also had two killer matches. She may have lost her title, but she definitely proved herself to be a worthy champion.

1. Charlotte

So of course Charlotte is my diva of the week. Charlotte had two amazing matches and became the divas champion on top of that. Charlotte may not have been my first choice to beat Nikki, however I think she will take the title into the right direction.

Thank you for reading.

Night Of Champions: Charlotte vs Nikki Bella (w)

Night Of Champions: Charlotte vs Nikki Bella (w)

Last night we crowned a new divas champion, and hopefully this will begin a string of new challengers and feuds. Nikki has improved substantially in the ring over this last year, and has been the main focus of the divas division, but some fresh faces in the title picture is something I, along with most fans, would like to see. Charlotte wouldn't have been my first choice for this win, and I certainly think this should have hapened at the next PPV, but I will not look at it as a negative thing. Charlotte is clearly good in the ring, however her character is still lacking for me. Hopefully she can feud with someone who can substitute for her lack of character, such as Naomi or Sasha Banks. For me, I would love to see Naomi take the belt from Charlotte. Ideally, we could get Nikki vs Charlotte vs Naomi at Hell In A Cell, and have Charlotte go on to face Naomi after that. 

The match we got last night was very psychological and really highlighted Nikki's ability to work on a specific area. Charlotte sold the injury very well, even to the extent of some people thinking it was legit. The overall match was very impressive, I must say. It may have been slow paced, but there was great storyline told during it, which is amazing, considering they've had very little storyline to work with. Although, I didn't like the fact that Charlotte got little, to no offence and got the stereotypical babyface win, which a lot of people don't like. I think the match could have been a little more equalised in order to get a good, steady speed, rather than the choppy, constant slow pace Nikki took it in. Even with that said, the match was definitely one of the best of the year, on the main roster at least, and both women should be very proud.

So, tonight on Raw there are many possibilities on what could happen, but personally I'm not expecting anything extravagant. A Paige heel turn is still definitely on the cards, and Nikki's rematch could take place, but I'm expecting Charlotte to get a singles win, in a decent length match against Naomi, or Alicia, just to put her over as champ. 

Overall, I thought the Divas Title match was very impressive, and therefore I will give it a score of 9/10.

Thank you for reading.

Night Of Champions: My Predictions

Night Of Champions: My Predictions

Tonight we have one of the most highly anticipated divas matches of the year, Charlotte vs Nikki Bella for the Divas Title. Now honestly, I'm not exactly super excited for this match, because either way, the outcome won't be something I particularly want to see, however I am fully expecting a very good, lengthily match. This match hasn't exactly had a long build up, or even much of a storyline, but for some reason, the crowd are definitely more behind the divas right now, than they have been for the last couple of years at least. That is definitely a positive thing, however I know, and most diva fans know, that they could do a lot better. The matches lately have been great, but matches aren't the only aspect that needed working on. The girls need mic time in order to establish a character and to get over with the crowd, which is why I'm so surprised that the crowd cares, because in all honesty, I, as a divas fan, am not really interested. Frankly, the girls haven't gotten nearly enough mic time. There's no excuse for it, as Charlotte, Nikki, Alicia, Paige and Becky are all decent talkers. To be a feud, the two competitors need to have solid characters, and a reason for their hatred of one another. Neither of the two women have a character and neither have really interacted all that much. It's as if they've just picked Charlotte out of the bunch, and just thrown her into the match, which is why I firmly believe that Nikki will not be dropping the title tonight. 

Nikki has just broken the record, and this match doesn't really hold any importance, and either of the women winnng wouldn't really be a big deal, so I feel like if they are going to make the Charlotte th next champion, why rush it? Why not build her up in a feud with actual meaning over the next few months? I see Nikki holding on to the title until Survivor Series, and possibly having the addition of Paige and Sasha into the matches. Possibly a fatal fourway or triple threat. 

Now that we're onto the topic of Paige, I'll address what I think her involvement will be in tonight's match. I believe that Paige will cost Charlotte the match, turning heel. However, I'm not fully sure of this. This mini feud with Sasha, and her constant losses could easily be suggesting a heel turn, but on the other hand, could be leading to a PPV match against Sasha. 

So. my final prediction is that Nikki Bella will successfully retain her title, after an involvement by Paige that will lead to a disqualification. I am expecting the match to be around 15 minutes long.

Thank you for reading.

This week on NXT Bayley defeated Sarah Dobson in quite a short match. I will give it a score of 5/10.

On Smackdown we got Sasha Banks and Naomi vs Paige and Becky Lynch, which carried on the storyline of Paige constantly loosing, and becoming frustrated. I will give this match a score of 7/10.

Raw: Sasha Banks vs Paige, Charlotte vs Nikki Bella (C)

This week on Raw we once again saw Paige being beaten by Sasha, however this time it was a clean win. I'm still not exactly sure where this is going, but I'm leaning more towards the idea that Paige, frustrated, will cost Charlotte her match on Sunday. Although the Paige and Sasha PPV match is still very much a possibility, we have already seen the match 4 or 5 times, and I guess having it all tie together would be quite interesting. Paige turning heel is definitely a positive thing, but I hope it doesn't mean she'll be in the title picture again. Even though Charlotte would be far from my first choice, she is a better alternative to Paige, who has been in the title picture constantly since her debut. Charlotte winning the title would actually make her the first person in over two years to hold the title, that isn't AJ Lee, Paige or Nikki Bella. 

Once again, Sasha va Paige was a very good match. Sasha won again, and Paige definitely seems to be getting more frustrated each time. Hopefully this is last time we see them go one on one in a while, because there are a lot of match combinations that haven't happened yet, that I would like to see.

I will give this match a score of 8/10.

Next up was Charlotte vs Nikki for the title. This match was very good, and it's definitely got me excited for their match on Sunday. Obviously Charlotte lost the match, meaning Nikki Bella is now the longest reigning divas champion of all time, so congrats Nikki. 

I will give this match a score of 9/10.

Thank you for reading.
