Was anyone else annoyed that The Bellas and Eva Marie wouldn't shut the hell up during AJ's promo? I was trying to hear what AJ was saying, but those girls wouldn't stop screaming literally the entire time. Can you imagine Randy Orton screaming at Daniel Bryan during one of his promos? It was so distracting and annoying. What the hell was up with that? lol that just made me like AJ even more. lol I mean honestly, outside of Nattie, AJ is the only one there that "gets" professional wrestling. I am guessing that promo was supposed to make AJ a villain for the reality show and for TV, the only thing is not one diva comes off as likable.

The Bellas response will be lame. They've got no material to use against AJ. They can't criticise her wrestling ability, because she's a good wrestler. They can't criticise her for being with different guys, because they did the same during the guest host period and smarks knows the real story of why they are the centre of Total Divas. They can't call her fat, because she isn't. They could call her crazy I suppose, but that's not much of a criticism.
AJ wins again.

I didn't like Aj's little fit from last night because it sounded like some Cool Girl(tm) bullshit. I don't watch Total Divas, but I wish Natalya or Naomi would have dragged AJ on the mic. Kayfabe: If AJ did all the great things for the division that she said she did, Total Divas wouldn't have to exist. All the women could get in the ring and get all the attention and respect they desire.

Total Divas is met with apathy on the live shows. I don't know how AJ's promo harmed the cast with her promo. None of them were over. None of them were going to be over.
And it really would have ruined the point of her screed if she disclaimed 'except you, Nattie. You're kinda cool.'

I don't think the other divas would of done better on the mic either, but they still should of said something. It was stupid to just let the divas sit there and listen to it without fighting back. This would have been a perfect opportunity to give the other divas a voice. They didn't even have to give a long promo or anything just say what they wrote on twitter. If there needs to be fighting back, it should be done in a match. If there's going to be a promo battle, you need to make sure both party's mic skills are on an equal level. I don't care if it does make the Bellas look bad to just stand there and take it, as it'd make them look even worse if they were to try and fumble through a promo to get a retort. I was more thinking of how AJ and Kaitlyn did it. Let AJ control most of the segment, but let whoever else is one the mic get a couple of strong lines in. I'll go with the divas since I don't really like AJ. Plus it's not like every diva besides AJ sucks. Naomi and Natalya are just as good in the ring if not better. I don't think the Bellas are as bad in the ring as they're made out to be(much better as faces though). They should of let somebody besides AJ talk though, but I guess AJ is the only diva with enough arm strength to hold up a mic. If they put as much effort into the divas division as they did AJ the crowd wouldn't have been on her side. I feel like the just 'push someone else and they'd be over too' is kind of a discredit to AJ's ability. Sure, not every woman is gonna get her megapush but I don't think Nattie as Raw GM would have set the crowd on fire anyway. If they're capable, if they're booked well, they'll get over. It doesn't have to be a meticulous effort. Then you have the Bellas who probably aren't gonna get super over regardless because they can't seem to keep a crowd's interest. Del Rio, also - pushed for three years and pretty expendable. True not every diva will get over if they got AJ's push. I just mean that if the WWE had put as much effort into the division as they did AJ then the division would be way better off. I'm certain the crowd would care about more divas than just AJ. Would they have gotten AJ's overness? I don't know, but I'm sure some of them would have been able to get over with a portion of the crowd. To be fair no one cared about the guest host's, I would wager that if the Bella's had been involved with Cena/Bryan for a while they'd be getting good reactions. That's another thing, I expected Brie to get a better reaction than she did tonight, I thought that was the reason she had the match instead of Nikki to be honest. I get that they don't advertise their relationship on Raw and she is supposed to be a heel, but she is engaged to the most over guy in the company right now, and it is shown on the show. I did expect that to rub off on her somewhat. Nikki still might be injured I think.

I don't know, but I'm sure some of them would have been able to get over with a portion of the crowd. The biggest thing keeping the divas from getting over is not AJ pointing out the obvious. It's... their matches. The fans don't care about the Total Divas because they either can't cut it in the ring or, if they can, they're handicapped by doing a thousand restholds in a four-minute match. Even AJ has been guilty of this a time or two. If the Bellas, Nattie, and Cameron/Naomi were able to, or allowed to, work good matches then AJ wouldn't be cheered over them. It's that simple.

Nattie has loads more pre-WWE cred than her. This segment was pretty dumb overall. Nattie will join AJ eventually. It might give her something useful to do for the first time in her WWE career.
