WWE NXT's 31 Wrestlers - Ranked From Worst To Best

26. Dana Brooke

Pros:

1. Has the classic WWE "Diva look"

2. Extensive background in gymnastics and bodybuilding

3. Original, super meta gimmick

Cons:

1. It's not yet clear how much of her gimmick is on purpose

2. Very green

3. She's always rubbing herself and it's weird

Dana Brooke, as a character, is genius. She's "the Total Diva", which works on three levels: she's a platinum blonde fitness model, which is everything WWE wants from a Diva; it's a reference to E's trashy reality show, which is everything NXT fans hate about how WWE treats it's female performers; and its a subtle reference to Lex Luger, who was terrible for YEARS but still made a ton of money based on his physique alone.

The only problem with Brooke is that she is SUPER green, and it's not clear how much of her "sloppy clotheslines/constant self-rubbing/stilted promo" act is intentional. Is she an inspired parody of a stereotypically bad WWE Diva as a foil to NXT's next-level super workers, or is she actually, you know, terrible? Only time will tell.

Final rating: **
