Quality and perception of effort is subjective, of course, but I felt that it was an observation worth making. I mean, at the moment there is AJ Lee v Paige (title feud/possible double turn), Naomi v Cameron (The Funkadactyls EXPLODE), Layla v Summer Rae (for the love of Fandango) and The Bella Twins v Stephanie McMahon (as part of the fallout from Daniel Bryan's injury and possibly the current main event feud involving John Cena).
Progress, or coincidence? You be the judge.

To be honest, I haven't even thought about this. There are currently four different feuds in the Divas division, two of them technically about the title and only one of them about a man. Not only that, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing where all four of them go. It's slow, but it is progress. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Yet nobody will care because the divas in the feuds are as dull as dishwater with the possible exception of AJ and Layla and one of them has a bun in the oven. Paige has potential but needs to show some personality.

Considering what was listed, I'd like to go back to one diva feud per ppv cycle please.

That's pretty interesting. Good observation, honestly didn't even notice that.
Now, let's work on treating the women like they are serious competitors that have their own division and belt next.

I don't see Layla and Summer getting any other PPV time for the foreseeable future, and then Funkadactyls (spelling might be off) will probably do their own thing on Main Event and Smackdown and Raw. Steph and the Bellas gets PPV time because of Steph. AJ and Paige will get PPV time because it is the title, and it is AJ. All in all, not so bad. When was the last time 8 divas were in regular rotation on the shows?

Nah, this summer/Layla angle is fantastic because it involves Fandango being a creep and having 2 women fight over him with Ziggler being used as a piece of meat.

Quantity ≠ quality. So while it's cool that they're doing something with the ladies, there is still a long way to go.

Naomi will have to carry Cameron, so that will likely be terrible. Steph and Brie could be good... could be... And then Layla and Summer - well, Layla. So Layla is good ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Apparently the plan is Brie vs. Stephanie at SummerSlam. Wonder if there'll be two Divas matches there, with AJ and Paige continuing?

As for the current feuds: AJ and Paige are going to have to really improve on their interaction from last night as they more or less sucked hard in the promo department. Once Naomi is done with Cameron, Cameron is pretty much going to be a random diva for multi-diva matches so that feud doesn't really seem all that interesting. Steph and the Bella's are quite polarizing and god help us all if we have to watch Stephanie in an actual match again. Layla and Summer.........Layla is hot as hell, but really who cares? I give them a grade of incomplete-needs work.

Yeah but the Summer/Layla feud in particular is some super insulting shit, and yet another depressing window into how the people in charge see women.

Remember when Alicia Fox was in a feud?
.....me either.
EDIT: I've been told I have a very bad memory.

I don't know why they couldn't merge the AJ and Paige feud with the FUNKADACTYLS EXPLODE! angle. I'd say why not just do the Naomi/Cameron/AJ/Paige 4-way?
That gives you a pretty good amount of options as far as results go and I see the match being decent aside from the obligatory Wrestler-Steals-The-Pin finish they like to do.
