7. More Women's Wrestlers With Managers
In what would initially be a really fun way to get heat on the feud between Naomi and the Bella Twins, what about forcing Tamina to make a choice between being an in-ring competitor and actually managing Naomi? Tamina has been in the "protector" role before with AJ Lee, and now wears an enormous knee brace post-surgery. Instead of having a limited wrestler on the roster, what about turning a negative into a positive and turning her into a "business advisor" of sorts. Tamina as an intimidating corporate businesswoman in pantsuits could work. She's professionally managed by The Rock's ex-wife Dany Garcia, so she could easily use her connection with The Rock's very successful business pursuits as a tie-in. Imagine Tamina saying "My cousin, The Rock has given me (x) dollars to start 'Superfly Sports,' and Naomi is my first client. " Tamina as a female Paul Heyman-type would be fun. Naomi is growing in comfort as a heel, and her as a MVP-type arrogant athlete would work. As well, presenting Naomi as an athlete with an agent definitely gives the women's division a makeover from the top-down. The idea of Cameron as a pop-star diva being in this role as well would be ideal, too. Perception is reality, and even the smallest cosmetic changes can make the largest differences.
