It's been a good while since taking the time to watch a match involving Brie and Nikki and I have to say they are improving quite nicely. Nikki, specifically, seems to be the one of the two to be improving the most, then again, I've always found Nikki to be the better of the two when it comes to aggression. Brie has always been very 'loose' to me. Now, I'm not saying they're best in the division or anything, but they have been doing great since coming back last year and I think Nikki could do a good run with the Divas Championship (We gon ignore the first one ) . Also, maybe because Nikki has a big frame, but the championship looks nice on her shoulder IMO

I thought Brie was the better of the two but Nikki's been really good recently. I always get upset with her finisher though because I think she's going for the Burning Hammer.

I really like The Rack Attack. Finlay should be Working with The Divas again IMO.

These two are really doing wonders to improve and really solidify their position in their division. I think it's hard to argue against their "worthiness" of their position because you can actually see how they've worked to improve their performance in every way but you'll find some that do. I'll never understand it, I thought they were both starting to show vast improvements before they left so this is just a natural continuance.

Nikki has always been pretty decent and the better of the two in the ring. She has some nice looking moves.
Brie is okay too but she sometimes has an over reliance on drop kicks and rest holds.

Nikki has improved ten fold since she recovered from her injury. I've always thought the Twins were decent in the ring though.

With the Divas actually getting time, I think it isn't so much they've improved but they can finally put what they know to use. They aren't having to cram 5 to 6 minutes into 2 and it is showing their skills.

They have improved. I will give them that. They've gone from absolutely not knowing what to do in a ring, to being only mildly dangerous and believable as wrestlers if you only half-watch the match.
Le sigh...makes me long for the days of Michelle McCool.

They'd be much less annoying if I didn't have to hear "C'mon Brie!" and "C'mon Nikki!" every five seconds during their matches. That seriously needs to stop.

I went from disliking them to not giving a shit about them and now I actually kinda like it when they're on the TV.
COME ON BELLAS!!!!

Also, I think having them mainly fighting AJ really helps them out. AJ can make a lot of shitty moves look MUCH better than they actually are - having gone to the Ziggler School For Selling Like Crazy.
When they're up against other Divas they're weakness come out more.

The only things I dislike about the Bellas nowadays are Brie relying so much on Dropkicks (I remember one match where she hit a standard dropkick, a low dropkick, and a dropkick off the second rope in succession), and Brie's weird taunt that she does when she gets fired up.
Everything else about them is actually quality work at this point. They're putting on better and better matches, while also coming into their own and showing individual personalities. If you separate the Total Divas from being a unit on the actual wrestling shows, we'd have ourselves a decent division going.

I like both of them, but don't want them as champions. I like them as challengers well enough, though they do overdo it on the yelling sometimes.

Most of the division seems to be finally getting the basics down, with only Eva, Rosa, Cameron and to an extent Aksana and Tamina as the real clunkers. Everyone else can hold their own more often than not in what time they get.

Since they look nothing alike nowadays, I wonder if we will ever get the Bella vs Bella feud they've teased several times over the years. I always assumed Vince never broke them up because he liked the fact that they were hot chicks that looked alike.
