4 Ups And 4 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Oct 27)
3. Divas Gone Mild
Can someone please explain whats going on with AJ Lee, Paige and Alicia Fox? This has to be in the running for worst feud of the year, or at least the longest, most nonsensical feud of 2014. AJ and Paige have been feuding on and off since the day after WrestleMania, and theyve traded the Divas Championship four times in six months. And fans still have little to no idea what is really going on. Part of the problem is that Divas rarely get mic time (unless youre a Bella), so its difficult to advance angles outside of Total Divas. The announcers also dont help provide context during matches, so fans are left with a jumbled mess. http://youtu.be/xhb7SqynVlA?list=PLF0CB8E7B4C77DB61 Heres what we do know: the three women all act crazy in and out of the ring, and there appears to be some weird PG lesbian storyline, with AJ and Paiges friendship devolving into a rivalry where Paige seemed to be trying to gain AJs affection. Now Paige is on commentary talking about how Alicias eyes are smoldering. The worst part is that when AJ came back this summer, some fans felt that this meant that the Divas division would take off because both she and Paige have shown they can deliver in the ring. Two of the more accomplished women wrestlers fighting over the title could harken back to the glory days of a decade ago with Lita and Trish.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
