"Diva Prospects" report to NXT

[Widow's Peak]

Looks like that casting call they put out a few weeks ago yielded some results.

Could something big — or Diva Search-like — be looming?

A group of 10 Diva “prospects” have completed four weeks of training at WWE’s developmental territory, NXT, according to their various Twitters.

We already know WWE held auditions for wannabe Divas in Los Angeles last month, and then there was a tweet from Reby Sky revealing that the company had recruited the girls from modeling agencies.

The ladies, ranging from models, aspiring actresses and dancers, certainly fit the Diva mold, but what the training consisted of, along with just what they are training for, is unknown at this time.

It appears, however, that the potential Divas worked with NXT’s head female trainer Sara Del Rey and were given some words of wisdom last night from former WWE Diva Eve Torres, who, as previously reported, visited the developmental camp.

Maybe one or two of these girls will pan out to something. At least they have Sara Del Rey monitoring them.

Heh.

I might be out of the loop but are they putting wrestlers with whole 4 weeks of training on national television?

I hope by 'aspiring actresses' they mean WWE storylines, and not 'I want to use this company as a stepping stone towards Hollywood'. No woman who has been through the WWE has ever achieved acting success.

Sweet Sally, I swear Eve has gotten even prettier since she left.

No-one knows what they're doing at the moment, but there's a lot of speculation. All we know is they sent out casting calls to modelling agencies and these 10 women were invited to train at NXT.

Hopefully if any are signed they have a long stay in development like usual.

Why don't they just do a divas search that's similar to the first season of NXT... made up of actual wrestlers rather than trying to turn supermodels into wrestlers and failing.

They wonder why nobody cares about the divas division. Clogging it up with wastes of space like The Bellas, Kelly Kelly and Alicia Fox is the reason.

NXT is going to be overcrowded with divas soon without any of them being pushed onto the main shows. Honestly, i can see some of these model/actress type women make it onto the main programs before the likes of Paige do.

I'm prepared for the inevitable WWE tactic of using the talented women to job and put over the hacks...

Like Jillian Hall, Victoria, Natalya and Katie Lea did constantly. Look for Paige to become WWE's next go-to diva jobber.

*Shrug* I don't have much of a problem with this. I mean it's the company doing it's due diligence and just scouting and maybe they find an extremely talented girl through this process? I mean it's like a Baseball team signing a bunch of 16 year old teenagers from an obscure country that is not know as a baseball hotbed. Can those kids be busts? Sure but there is also the small chance that one of the breakouts, and I think this makes this search worth it. Worst case none of them make it and get cut at NXT and it just becomes lost money for the WWE. The absolutely best case one of them becomes great and becomes a top diva star.

Wait a minute... Sara Del Ray is a trainer at NXT? Why isn't she on TV!?

No, worse case would be that one or more of them suck on NXT and still get called up to the main roster, and get pushed over divas that can actually wrestle.

Worse case scenario is also the most likely one.
