The evil heel who held onto the belt for a record amount of time largely through cheating and chicanery dedicating her award to every woman in the world and you wonderful fans, then leaving arm-in-arm with Paige, one of the people she screwed out of the title with her cheating and has been playing heel herself for the past two months. The same Paige that tried to rally together the rest of the locker room to bring down Nikki's title reign, and in their last interaction accused Nikki of sleeping her way to the top. f*** the Divas division, yo.

We've given up hope and just accept it.

This was a bigger swerve. No chance Maria was going to win.

She wasn't a heel, she was Bella. It is like Kane but more sudden changes. Anyway, the awards are a shoot and the fans picked her as the best so I have no problem with the speech.

eh. It was clearly out of character and won't be referenced to again (I assume, outside of saying she won the thing). I didn't mind it.

Thing is, Nikki gets to break character and talk about how fearless and hard-working she is, how much she loves the Bella Army and wants to be an example to girls and women everywhere so often it's as much her character as 'bitchy mean girl who cheats all the time.' She doesn't spend long enough in one role to have any character traits and it's led to her being way less over than the female face of the company should be, she gets 'hey, I know her from Total Divas' pops, and misguided 'you're a model who got into wrestling to be rich and famous' boos and that's it, people are too confused to react to her as a wrestling character. Just stick to one.

#datdress She looked great, but when you think about it, it's kinda weird that people are excited about someone who we regularly see wrestling in tiny underwear wearing a see-through dress. It's basically her ring gear with mesh over it.

If you haven't noticed kayfabe doesn't exist in the Divas division thanks to so many flip flopping and Total Divas.

That speech was exactly why women like the Bellas, because it's exactly how they act on social media.
I like them as heels, but I hope they turn face - full time, not the whole weekly switch they're currently doing - because there's an audience of women that want to cheer them anyway so you may as well capitalize on it.

Obviously, Paige realized it's better to be WITH the Lioness than AGAINST her.
That's what you call respect in dis business. RAWR! #FeartheLioness

Nikki's desperate need to be a babyface just reared it's ugly head. She wants that mixed tag match with her boyfriend so bad. I honestly believe that's all this is about.

It comes across like that, but then, surely she's in a position where all she needs to do is ask and they'd turn her? It's really weird how there's a section of the crowd who want to cheer them, the Bellas themselves seem to actively sabotage WWE's attempts to make them dislikeable by being sincere and inclusive every time they don't have a script to read from, and it'd make sense seeing as they're some of the company's main ambassadors to the mainstream media. Yet they insist on booking them as bitchy heels with odd, jarring babyface moments that leaves them with absolute zero character and limits their appeal as a result.

The current Divas divison is one of the worst booked, nonsensical divisons I've ever seen. I mean it's not WCW World Title Division 2000 bad, but it's still terrible.
There is no logic with hardly anything they do, just accept it.

Eventually, one way or another, Cena and Nikki have to cross pathes on TV like Bryan and Brie did. Not fair for one couple to but not the other. Cena and Nikki can dominate the company for years and years to come in their divisions. When Cena wins #16, Nikki has got to come out and celebrate like how Wrestlemania 20 had a celebration for a wrestler who won the world title. Gotta make it a big deal to include family. Cena: WWE World Heayvweight Champion - 498+ Days Nikki: WWE Divas Champion - 498+ Days Some day that's going to happen. Until....... HHH and Steph bury them both.

Sasha Banks breaks friendships and tries to cripple her opponent in matches but no one says anything when she's doing the crying and hugging deal after every match.
Kayfabe don't exist for the divas.
