7. Is This Nikkis Last Brush With The Belt?
Oh please, let the answer be yes. Sorry to all the Nikki Bella fans out there who espouse her improved ringwork and whatnot, but for the Divas division to have any chance of moving forward, the focus of the women (read: the Divas Championship) needs to be on the future, not the past. Try as WWE might, the Bellas most certainly represent the past. So after Nikki thankfully erased that dastardly AJ Lee from the WWE record books (note the sarcasm) as the longest-reigning Divas champion in history, Charlotte finally dethroned her a result that truthfully should have happened the week after she debuted on Raw. Bella gets her mandatory rematch on Sunday, and hopefully Charlotte wins convincingly and ends the feud so she can focus on a new opponent while Nikki puts a little distance between herself and the title for the first time in 11 months. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6IvRdY1Zss Sadly, what well probably get is a DQ finish due to Paige interfering, setting up a triple threat match at Survivor Series, but one can dare to dream.
