Okay, with Orton added to the injury list now, we have quite a few important superstars sidelined right now. Question is, who is the most valuable of them all?
Orton: Main eventer on Smackdown. One of the most important pieces of the WWE roster.
Mysterio: He was on a role on Raw before the injury. Probably the next most valuable guy on the injured list.
Christian: Definitely the most important heel on Smackdown to be out. Had a hell of a year and the timing of the injury couldn't be worse.
Mark Henry: In the midst of a long title run. Ruined the WWE's plans hotshoting the WHC. Not even sure if he'll be positioned the same when he comes back.
Sin Cara: Think of this as a bad investment. Nuclear heat backstage, sloppy in the ring, and failing a wellness policy. All this in about 6 months TOO! He was going to be an important part of Wrestlemania though, with the Mask vs. Mask rumored match.
Kharma: Forgot about her? The woman who was single handed going to SAVE the Diva's division. He promos, her destruction...... only to make her cry, then cut a babyface promo. Dropped the ball? The jury is still out on that.
Alberto Del Rio: Well. his heat is dying, maybe this is a much needed break before turning him into a strong heel again.
Undertaker: He would add to Smackdown, but let's be honest, he really hasn't been around at this time of the year for a while now.

Christian. SmackDown's heel side and match quality has been suffering greatly in his absence.

I fear Christian won't return to the main event. I hope I'm wrong but I just have that feeling.
As for your question, none of them will single-handedly save their division other than Kharma, so it's got to be her for me.

For every male superstar that goes down, there could be and should be another superstar ready to pick up the ball and run with it. The Divas? That's another story. I think they had possibly a year's worth of storylines with Kharma running through every diva until the epic match up at Wrestlemania 28 against Beth. Therefore, with her being inactive it totally destroyed the division. Hands down, that's gotta be the biggest blow of them all.

As much as I would love Kharma to come back... and I do... I don't think even she can save the divas division. You'll only get three good workers in Beth, Nattie and Kharma and the rest are crap in a crap sandwich compared to them.
I vote for Christian. (Surprise, surprise. I didn't vote for Del Rio this time.) He's refreshing, puts on good matches and he can be both an effective face and heel. Lord knows SmackDown needs a new top star while Orton's not there for them.

I'm surprised by all the Kharma votes. Kharma's a great wrestler but she can't single-handedly save the divas division. She'd only get good matches out of a select few divas. And the matches would still be short and boring, unless Creative actually decides the division is worth caring about. Not saying Kharma wouldn't be an asset to the divas, but there's a lot more wrong with the division than just lack of talent.

Kharma.
I'm convinced that WWE booked an entire year completely around her, which is why everything with the divas is just kind of "bleh" right now, when it was getting so good when Kharma showed up.

Orton. As much as I and most of the IWC think on how boring he is, he is the number three face of the company and the number one face of Smackdown. Plus with Smackdown ratings in the toilet, he was more important then ever.

Well, we can eliminate Sin Cara, Kharma, and Undertaker from the list entirely. I supported Sin Cara in the beginning, but outside of a couple moments, he's generally failed to live up to expectations, IMO - botches, a Wellness Violation, and now this injury. If he actually manages to stick around after the Survivor Series mess, then I can't see him ever getting out of the midcard. Kharma is in the Diva's Division, which should disqualify her immediately, as that division isn't all that important compared to just about everything else. Any of the others (even Sin Cara) should surpass her just for that. And Undertaker's basically retired save for WrestleMania.
Everyone else has something they can contribute - I feel that Del Rio could be an effective upper-midcard heel (imagine him holding the U.S. title, for example) who can step into the main event when necessary, same for Christian, Mark Henry would be a great opponent for Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania as a way of finishing off their storyline, and Randy Orton is still perhaps the biggest superstar on SmackDown.

Plus with Smackdown ratings in the toilet, he was more important then ever. Smackdown ratings in the toilet? Smackdown ratings have been up ever since Mark Henry was given the title. Even when Daniel Bryan became champion Smackdown still got near a 2.0, which is very good for a B show. So no, Smackdown doesn't need Orton to draw in decent numbers.

With Orton down, they need a babyface that is popular. Rey Mysterio.

If WWE's goal was to plunge Smackdown's ratings into the toilet, then Randy's invaluable ability to make viewers tune out would be incredibly important, but since things work the other way around, that isn't the case. There's a reason Mark Henry's the one still appearing on TV every week in spite of being injured.

Of all the people on that list, the only one I'd want to see come back yesterday is Edge.

Here's my question: why does everyone think Beth is the most natural match for Kharma? Why is someone whose entire character is based on strength supposed to beat someone whose character is based on being the strongest person on the roster?
