10 Most Tongue-Tied Main-Eventers In WWE

2. The Bella Twins

So many of the WWE Divas are like lumps of wood on the mic or in interviews €“ and they're hardly ever given much to work with €“ that it seems unfair to pick Divas to be on this list at all, because they could easily fill it. The other consideration is that, WWE programming being what it is when it comes to women€™s wrestling, it€™s difficult to think of their Diva€™s division as representing proper main event performers. However, Nikki and Brie Bella can be considered to have taken over the Diva€™s division since Nikki won the title six months ago, and given the success of Total Divas and their highly publicised relationships with the two biggest babyface performers in the company, the twins may together have the highest profile that WWE female performers have experienced since the Attitude Era. And good god, but they€™re terrible actors. Other Divas may have the justifiable excuse that they€™ve been given insufficient time and experience to really improve on the mic: Brie and Nikki have been in the business for nearly eight years, and on the main roster together for seven. More than that, the two were working to become actresses and spokesmodels for years before they entered the pro wrestling industry: occupations that usually require people to speak, whether scripted or improvised, in front of crowds and on television. How is it that they€™re still so wooden and stilted? In late 2014, the WWE finally pulled the trigger on a Bella versus Bella feud, which should have been a guaranteed moneymaker: the two are identical twins, for crying out loud. The possibilities are practically endless! Instead the company botched the angle, not helped in any way by the lifeless, robotic antics of both women on the stick. Their reputation is so bad that many fans have instituted a Bella Scale of bad mic work. That€™s right: they€™re a running joke.
