6. Will Divas Matches Get More TV Time?
This is something that has been frustrating for many years now. Every time the divas are in a match or segment on Raw or Smackdown it gets around three to four minutes. A lot of the time they have to rush through their matches so quickly and they get no reaction at all because of it. When we watch NXT the women get a lot more time. There were some great NXT divas matches in 2014 with Charlotte beating Natalya at the May Takeover show that was one of the best women's matches in WWE history. Then there was Charlotte over Sasha Banks at the December NXT special that was also excellent. Listen to the crowd response. Watch the women in the ring. It's great action. Why can't it be like that on the main roster? It could be a Vince McMahon thing. It probably is. For whatever reason, Vince probably thinks that women's wrestlers aren't ever going to be draws and he won't waste precious TV time by featuring them. What does Hunter think? Considering he runs NXT without Vince around to call the shots, chances are he has a much different viewpoint on the subject. That doesn't mean anything in WWE is going to change. Austin mentioning it to Hunter would be a nice way to bring up the subject, though. Let the women wrestle. Most of them are pretty good. Just give them a chance.
