did a worked shoot ala Punk?
A worked shoot about the state of the diva's division and how WWE doesn't care?
Would it work? And who of the divas, if any, could pull something like this off?

They would cut to commercial in the middle of it.

AJ would be a top pick. Maybe Nattie as she's terribly used.
It would work, if an announcer like Joey Styles could do it, why wouldn't a Diva be able to? And I'm not dissing Joey Styles, just pointing out that he was "just" an announcer, so the pipebomb person doesn't have to be Punk or Heyman, it could be a lesser star and still effective.

Paige would have been perfect for this but I don't think it would work at the moment. Punk's was successful as he had people to go after, Cena or HHH represent something in a way no current diva does, if Kelly Kelly was still around she'd be the perfect foil.

Nattie.
She has every reason to be pissed off. But seems too sweet to actually be too bothered.

Few would care. Seriously, hardly anyone would care.

The Bella Twins might be good foils. They get a good amount of TV time despite being nowhere near the Divas Title picture, and they just happen to be dating two top Superstars.

HHH would still be a good foil, since he supposedly is down on women's wrestling.

If WWE was willing to follow up on it by actually booking a strong women's division, it would work.
Nattie would be the best choice. No one embodies the waste and crap gimmicks inflicted on Divas better than she does.

Kaitlyn, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this because before I leave in 5 weeks with your Divas Championship, I have a lot of things I want to get off my breast.
I don’t hate you, Kaitlyn. I don’t even dislike you. I do like you. I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back.
I hate this idea that you’re the best. Because you’re not. I’m the best. I’m the best in the world. There’s one thing you’re better at than I am and that’s [Expletive] Triple H's [Expletive]...
You’re as good at [Expletive] Triple H's [Expletive] as Nikki Bella is. I don’t know if you’re as good as AJ Lee though. She’s a pretty good [Expletive]. Always was and still is.
Whoops! I’m breaking the fourth wall! (Nattie waves to the camera)
I am the best women's wrestler in the world.
I’ve been the best since day one when I walked into this company. And I’ve been vilified and hated since that day because Bret Hart saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That’s right, I’m a Bret Hart girl. You know who else was a Bret Hart girl? Kelly Kelly. And she split just like I’m splitting. But the biggest difference between me and Kelly is I’m going to leave with the Divas Championship.
I’ve grabbed so many of Triple H's brass rings that it’s finally dawned on me that there just that, they’re completely imaginary. The only thing that’s real is me and the fact that day in and day out, for almost five years, I have proved to everybody in the world that I am the best on this microphone, in that ring, even at dancing with Khali! Nobody can touch me!
And yet no matter how many times I prove it, I’m not on your lovely little action figures. I’m not on TV. I’m barely used. I don't get to be in storylines. I’m certainly not on any crappy show on the SyFy Network. I’m not on the card for WrestleMania. I’m not on the signature that’s produced at the start of the show. I’m not on Miz TV. I’m not in videogames. But the fact of the matter is, I should be.
This isn’t sour grapes. But the fact that AJ is on the WrestleMania and I’m not makes me sick!
Oh hey, let me get something straight. Those of you who are cheering me right now, you are just as big a part of me leaving as anything else. Because you’re the ones who are buying those action figures right now. You’re the ones that buy those videogames that my face isn’t in. And then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it in my face and get an autograph from Tyson and me, and try to sell it on Ebay because you’re too lazy to go get a real job.
I’m leaving with the Divas Championship on May 19th. And hell, who knows, maybe I’ll go defend it in All Japan Pro Wrestling. Maybe…I’ll go back to Stampede Wrestling.
(Nattie looks at the camera and waves)
Hey, Harry Smith, how you doing?
The reason I’m leaving is you people. Because after I’m gone, you’re still going to pour money into this company. I’m not even a spoke on the wheel. The wheel is going to keep turning and I understand that. Triple H is going to make money despite himself. He’s a millionaire who should be a billionaire. You know why he’s not a billionaire? Because he surrounds himself with glad-handed, non-sensical, douchebag yes men, like Bill DeMott, who’s going to tell him everything he wants to hear, and I’d like to think that maybe this company will better after Triple H is dead. But the fact is, it’s going to be taken over by his idiotic wife and her doofus brother and the rest of his stupid family.
Let me tell you a personal story about Triple H alright. Remember Zack Ryder...
*Mic cut off.*

7 people would regret using the diva segment as a piss break. Only 7.

Gail Kim would've been the only one who would've had the courage to do it. But as previously stated, they'd cut to commercial immediately, she'd be fired on the spot, and thrown out the building. The only diva I could see getting away with it (while keeping their job) would've been McCool. Even though many would consider her the last person to should be complaining (considering the world title reigns Punk had prior, I'd argue he'd be in the same boat) she still cares enough about the division as a whole to speak up about it. But alas that never happened. The women they currently have are either too scared or too content to even do that.

A mark crowd would ignore it. A smark crowd would chant 'show your tits.'

It would rank up there with the time The Miz did that thing in terms of things that were disproportionately cared about on FAN compared to wrestling fans at large.

Even if they wanted to have a stronger women's division, they wouldn't need to do it like this. They could just have a stronger women's division. They don't need a self-aware shootish promo to kick it off, just have more talented women and better matches. I'm not saying they should do that, I have no idea if that would actually help business, but if they really wanted to, they certainly could.

So no courage would be needed, just good mic skills.
