I just can't fathom how a company that promotes anti-bullying can allow someone to write something like this. How are the little girls that look up to the Divas supposed to react to this?

I don't blame Paige just WWE's writers, the same writers that gave us "Story time with Roman Reigns" promos.
If they'd let people be themselves it'd be ok

The crowd has no idea what to make of sudden face turn Nikki Bell, attacking both Naomi, and face-but-making-very-heelish-comments-about-Tamina-being-a-man Paige.
To have THAT the day after Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks only highlights what an embarrassment the Diva's division booking is.

The problem here is that she shouldn't be cutting promos, she should have a manager. Maybe even get Heyman so he has something to do when Brock isn't around.
I miss the lost art of playing to people's strengths and hiding their weaknesses.

Great response from Tamina, but seriously, that promo was rough.

I really liked Naomi's part at least.
Paige should get some storylines outside of the division for a few reasons.
- She's awkward and it shows. She should grow as a performer. - She's been there for not even two years. We don't need a third reign at this point.

I agree with the earlier post, they pretty much gave her an AJ promo. She's a wrestler first. Her return should be a run in on Naomi & a short & sweet I'm gonna kill you.

I think the one thing that had me scratching my head was when she said "last time I saw you guys was in my hometown of England..." How the f**** did these people from America see you live in that arena and how did you see them live at that moment you mentioned? This is why the phrase WWE Universe is terrible.
Also Naomi did much better. I feel as if faces that are scripted to pander to the crowds suck so bad at it. Like pander to the crowd during matches not during promos. Heels look more comfortable than faces during promos because they don't have to try so hard to get a positive reaction. That's either on WWE or the talent, it's not always one person.

It took on that weird tone of that Sheamus and Ziggler have, where it comes off like they legitimately don't like each other and are saying things they mean, but through their characters.
In this instance, it made them both looks like bitter jerks and created an uncomfortable segment.

The Divas' division is just a mess. Inconsistencies and contradictions every where you look.

I didn't find Paige's promo was nearly as bad as some are saying,I do agree with what lesleymoon, Paige is better with shorter promos. If WWE has a problem is that they structure their promos to be largely the same. Not everyone needs a long promo. The only person they really do a good job with in this regard is Lesnar in that they keep him with Paul Heyman who can sell pretty much anything. Yeah, I hate that. The writers feel the need to justify their employment so they write long promos for everyone, even when they could the message across in like 30 seconds.

Paige shouldn't be saying shit. She's not the best talker by any means. She should be someone who does her talking by kicking people's heads in.
As for the content, that's typical WWE creative bollocks.

Delivery wise, I didn't think it was quite as bad as it's been hyped up here, "Town of England" not withstanding. The line about Tamina being in the wrong division was really bad, especially since it contradicted what Paige was doing before Wrestlemania. You know, how she and AJ were the "freaks and geeks" and how that's what real women look like, and yet it's not even June yet and she's making insults about another Diva's unconventional look. My thoughts exactly. Her opener wasn't completely horrible - it wasn't so much "Town of England" so much as it was "hometown of England... in London," since she probably caught herself, realizing England wasn't a "hometown." The "Tamina's a man" thing, though. Way to B.A.STAR, Paige... Naomi killed it, though. I'm pulling so hard for her to walk out Diva's Champion. If we've got ANOTHER month to live with McMahon/Bella Drama Part Deux, I'm gonna be hella disappointed.

I saw a post on here a week or so ago that was really simple, but perfect. I think I will paraphrase and use it here.
"Hard Times" was only 3 minutes long.
These are wrestling promos, short and sweet please. A long promo involving a couple guys(or girls) who are comfortable and entertaining on the mic can be good business. But, Page and Naomi shouldn't be doing it. Play to the strengths.
Also, could Page keep up with the kind of matches the girls are having in NXT roght now. I know when Page was being called the best thing since sliced bread in NXT, no one was to fathom how that division would involve. The girls weren't being given that kind of time or position. I wonder if she could go out on an NXT special and keep up with Sasha Banks?
