While some mentioned having 1 or 2 divas being surprise entrants in the rumble, i thought it be a great idea (mainly with diva revolution) if besides the 30 man rumble, they also had an all divas one too. They could have 15-20 women involved, be fun, and full of surprises! They can include nxt divas and past divas too (ex. Lita, trish, and/or stephanie). It should take 25-30 minutes, so they could still do the main rumble, world title match, and another short match on the card. Winner can get title match or choice of match if wrestlemania. What are your thoughts?

Nah.
Most Diva battle royals suck and I couldn't endure one for 30 minutes.

At this point in time, no. I thought a few ago maybe, but not anymore.

Yeah, I think it'd actually be pretty cool. 15 entrants sounds about right, and we'd actually have a Divas title program to build towards for Mania. It'd be interesting to see how that goes.

Only if they learn how to go over the top rope.

They have about 6 women's wrestlers who are actually good. 2 of them are in NXT. So, not yet.

Same answer as with everything:
Neat idea, but no faith in the 'E to do it well.

Only if they learn how to go over the top rope. That's a biggie. Divas battle royales allow middle rope eliminations because not that many are tall enough get tossed over the top and taking a bump like that will injure a bunch of them.

Honestly, you don't know if you don't try. Keep it simple to start with (10-15 entrants), don't try to overbook it, have a winner that most would actually like leading to a match most would actually like at WrestleMania and now you've set up a match concept people actually would like to see again and made your division look semi-competent.

We all complain and complain about how WWE is the same old shit all the time. Yet, on here, people come up with new ideas all the time, and the threads are usually full of replies about why it wouldn't work or would be a bad idea. I think there's a tendency to see an idea and think "what can I say would go wrong with it?" instead of actually thinking about if it's an interesting idea or not. And I think the same thing goes on in WWE's creative meetings.

I actually agree with your overall sentiment but on this one topic, but as others have pointed out, there's just too big a hole in the plan to ignore: most of the girls physically can't go over the top rope. We've seen several Diva battle royals before and they're fundamentally less exciting because of this critical flaw.

That is the flaw I see as well, though I'm okay with changing the elimination to leaving the ring rather than going over the top. Just be honest about it, they're altering the rules slightly to fit the combatants for safety purposes. Having it Rumble style with the individual entrances will make up for that issue from an excitement standpoint. Mainly, I like the idea of knowing who's getting a divas title match at Mania 2 months out, gives them time to build something good.

A network exclusive, perhaps nxt, could work. Bringing in outer talent to mix with current nxt and main roster. A full on main roster one would be a bathroom break.

Put it on Raw the Monday before the actual PPV. Gotta lot of time to fill on these three hour snoozefests. One more caveat: NO. VALETS.

I think they could try it and see it. I'd also like to see a female Elimination Chamber.

In the WWE? Oh heck no. Remember when they held the 25 Diva battle Royal at Wrestlemania 25? Molly Holly, Sunny, Jackie Gayda and others got back into ring shape and they didn't even get entrances, the kid Rock concert was more important, and the ending was used to put over a man in drag in a 'comedy' skit.

I'd be more interested in this than a standard title defence. I agree though that they have to make it top rope elimination if at all possible, though obviously it's not worth injuries if they really can't do that without serious risk on that score.
Maybe have Charlotte sat at ringside or something if they want the champ to appear even if she isn't defending, and the winner gets the title shot at 'Mania, with the build to the match (I know this is a recipe for disaster with this creative team, but it's not like much is being accomplished with the same old crap currently going on). Becky to win? Sasha? Bayley to debut and win? One of them would create an interesting programme to go on with, but the others (including Paige) wouldn't be worth giving the build to 'Mania, for obvious reasons.

It'd be better if it was a Queen of the Ring tournament- 16 women, both WWE and NXT wrestlers eligible. Winner goes to Wrestlemania for the title.

Yeah that was horrible, but would not be the case here. Chance to highlight several of the divas!
