8 Ways WWE Has Already F**ked Up The Divas Revolution

6. Lack Of Story

"Bitches be jealous, amirite?" is something clearly written on WWE Creative's whiteboard of storylines for the Divas Revolution. While you can understand that putting the Divas in teams was a decent enough way to try and train viewers to get used to longer matches featuring women, getting them to invest in those who make up those factions is something else altogether, and an impossibility when no reason to root for them is ever given. Throw in the lack of definitive heel/face standings, and things just became even more murky. On the one hand, you had PCB. They're supposed to be faces, but then there's Team Bella, a group claiming responsibility for the Divas Revolution and switching between heel and face status on a weekly basis depending on their mood and what episode of Total Divas is airing. Somewhere in the middle is Team B.A.D., a group who should be dominant heels, but are all likeable enough to be popular faces and essentially led by a woman - Sasha Banks - so over that she should be tearing the Division up as a fan-favourite. After months of directionless tag team matches, it looks like the factions are beginning to be broken down to start focusing on individual storylines. Unfortunately, those consist solely of WWE's tried and tested method of exploring the fact that all women are apparently jealous of each other. The majority of Divas have no recognisable sort of personalities at this point, and one two of them seem interested in the Divas title. The rest all just hate each other either because there's no one else to wrestle or because, of course, they're jealous. Grown men cry at the end of big matches between the women in NXT because the emotional stakes are so high and the characters are so well developed. Can you ever see that happening during Raw?
