The Reign of Bella seems to the over
As “sad” as it makes me, it appears that tonight’s Divas Championship match has cemented the idea that the hold that Nikki Bella and Brie Bella once had on the division is finally over. With Nikki Bella on the shelf, maybe for good, and Brie Bella on the verge of retirement, the “IWC” might finally get what they want. Instead of being treated like “divas,” the women of this division will be treated as athletes, competitors and performers.
Now, I’m not happy about HOW the Bella Twins have been case aside, but I am joyed to see that women like Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch are finally going to get the spotlight at WrestleMania, presumably in a triple threat match for the Divas Championship. Listen, I don’t have anything personally against the Bella Twins. I think they’ve done a lot for the brand of Total Divas and have been mainstays in the division for a long time, almost 10 years.
But I am thrilled to see them be moved aside for a new style, breed and ideology to be pushed into place: the age of women wrestlers; not divas.
