Faces & Heels don’t matter in the Divas Division
This statement is sad but true. The divas division on the main roster turn more times than Big Show and Kane. Some are faces one week, some are heels one week and save for a few, there are no clear faces or heels. This reared its ugly head again during the Divas Title match between Paige and Charlotte. Both are outstanding wrestlers, but when the crowd has no clue who to root for, why should we be invested in the match? Paige, in the past few months, turned on her best friends and ran down Charlotte’s family. She even went as far as mentioning Charlotte’s deceased brother, who took his own life, which was beyond distasteful on WWE’s end. You would think she is the heel in this bout? Nope.
In this match, Ric Flair helped his daughter retain the Divas Championship. Heels are supposed to cheat to win not babyfaces. I like the Charlotte heel turn, but the question I have is who will be the top babyface for the division? I guess it’s Sasha Banks since she’s one of the few ladies the fans seems to care for, but she is still a heel! Why not have Team BAD get jealous and turn on Sasha because she is more over than Naomi and Tamina? Great, now my head hurts!
Moving on. I will watch NXT for my women’s wrestling fix because there are heels and faces down there.
