10 Dumbest Things That Happened At WrestleMania 31
4. Divas Get Half The Time Of The Superstars
In the run up to this years WrestleMania, one of the biggest talking points became the treatment that the WWEs Divas division gets, and how little time they get to showcase their skills when compared to the superstars. The success of NXT and their womens division has only increased awareness of how good womens wrestling can be, and that coupled with WWEs audience now being nearly 50% women in part led to the #GiveDivasAChance movement. When the tag match of AJ Lee & Paige v The Bella Twins was announced, many were frustrated it wasnt something for the Divas Championship but after the great Paige v Nikki Bella match earlier in the week, hopes were high for the WrestleMania match. The tag match did end up being fun, but it was only six minutes and forty-two seconds long, when the next shortest match was basically double that at 13:15. If a Divas match on Raw is on average half the length of a mens match, then how is doing the exact same thing for longer at WrestleMania giving them a chance? People dont watch WrestleMania for say, a Kid Ink concert, they watch it for wrestling, and there were far too many segments at this years event that could have easily had time cut to make room for a really stellar Divas match.
