There is only so much time WWE devotes to divas on the shows. Right now Beth and Jillian, who have more defined characters and personality are the main heels that are used. Layla also gets used as manager to Regal. As others have probably suggested, they should let Regal and Layla form an alliance with Paul and Katie. the british invasion i think they were working towards a regal/burchill/katie alliance then regal goes and spoils it by getting wellnessed |

I like Layla, myself. I doubt she'd pose for Playboy since she's been successful enough modeling to where being an "adult" style model might actually hurt her career. Would love to be wrong on that one, though.  would you have thought maria would pose for playboy? i dont understand how shes been successful as a model, was she a model prior to WWE? i thought she was a dancer for some team posing in playboy certainly hasnt hindered marias career infact i think it helped her *shrug* I could be wrong, she might of been a dancer. And I didn'ty have much trouble seeing Maria pose, myself. |

She needs a gimmick that is hers alone. Being the classy British woman has been taken by Layla. Layla was supposed to be British? And no, I don't think Katie Lee needs to be classy. In fact, the notion I had of her gimmick was an arrogant upper-class b...h who nevertheless likes to hurt people and prefers to do it mean and dirty. She pretends to have the class people (may) associate with the British, but her Brawling and dirty moves show a total lack thereof. IMO this obvious hypocricy can be very useful to get a heel character over. Classy heel is what I associate Maryse's character with - it starts off with a similar "I am so much better than you" but is much more condescending and subdued. It could work out even better if Maryse is given a more technical and/or acrobatic style that shows grace and technique. this now imagine teaming the two together? |

I honestly think a prostitute gimmick could be good...
"Making her way to the ring, from the Red Light District... Katie Lea!"

Yes. Katie Lea is easily one of the best workers they have. She's been wrestling since she was 18, has worked internationally, and was one of the stand-out performers in OVW. On top of all of that, she works well with Beth. They should be pushing her.

The problem is you have 8 women vieing for either one match or one angle per week. At least with Heat, the ones not being pushed could wrestle and get TV time. Best thing for Katie Lea is hold on till some vacancies arise. Layla Layla probably isn't going to be around long as she hasn't wrestled on TV since the draft (You know when even WWE thinks you can't wrestle, it's bad), and they can't afford to keep people who don't wrestle. And I don't think Candice will be around after her current contract expires

I kinda liked it when Katie was dancing while Jillian was signing recently, only for Beth to become angry with both ladies.

That would be awesome - I'm a big proponent of Katie Lea being moved to Smackdown, as the female wrestlers there are the less established ones. She's competing in a heel-heavy division on Raw with other Divas that have been on the show for awhile now. Moving her to Smackdown and setting up a Katie/Maryse vs. Bella Twins feud sounds like a good move. (Also, if you moved over Paul, it would help give him a chance on a less crowded show.) |

Katie could be fun in the role of a slightly sleazy chick that decides that she wants a face that is not interested in her for whatever reason.

I wouldn't mind her moving over to another show, but I'm not sure that would improve anything, The Smackdown division has some good workers, but they still only do one women's match per week.

I honestly think a prostitute gimmick could be good... "Making her way to the ring, from the Red Light District... Katie Lea!" Better than her being from scummy Chelsea. I really wanted Mickie to beat her mainly for that reason. |

Katie did win a match, where her and Paul were handicapping someone I don't remember, and I think she pulled some cheap wins against Mickie before challenging her for her title. That's all that comes to the top of my head, though. it was against supercrazy..and to be honest a win over a jobber doenst really count...or is that rude? katie lea go over mickie? i doubt that happened but maybe you are right i stand corrected it was in an intergender match with mickie and kennedy Don't forget Jon Cutler, whose surname rhymes with butler and if he'd have won, the Cutler would have done it. |
