8 Ways WWE Dropped The Ball With The Divas Revolution

3. Not Using The Time Provided

The Divas don't get a lot of time to tell a story each and every week, but in the initial months of this whole "Divas Revolution", they were given two decent-length time segments per episode of Raw, allowing everyone to get a look in during the build to SummerSlam. In addition to doing away with the whole team dynamic after the biggest party of the summer, WWE should have taken advantage of the extra segment not to enforce the one existing rivalry heading towards the next Pay-Per-View, but to add another one and start giving more than two women a chance at any given time. You saw Nikki Bella feud with Charlotte heading into Night of Champions, why not a match between Sasha Banks and Paige to determine the next #1 contender somewhere else on the card? It makes more sense this way because it would make weekly matches on Raw and Smackdown feel important, because there's an existing feud between Paige and The Boss there because they each hold victories over each other, yet WWE opts to not capitalise on such an opportunity. Adding an additional Diva rivalry and subsequent match-up to every special event would have done well to solve the problem created by making nine women relevant at the same time during the summer, with less of the performers being lost in the shuffle after the big tag-team match at SummerSlam.
