4. Aksana
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcjOH9U4v-k There was a match on Raw in December where Aksana actually got a pin. It was apparently the first pinfall win she had in 2013. Since then, she's been featured on TV a bit more and it looks like she'll continue on as a heel performer. What is Aksana's gimmick? Well, she doesn't really have one. The only thing she has going for her is that she's a Lithuanian and since this is pro wrestling that means she's a heel because she's not American. That's just how WWE has always done things. "Oh you're not American? Heel!" It's silly, but that's how wresting is. She's actually got a background in weightlifting, but she's not a tall woman so fans don't think of her as a power wrestler. Why not incorporate it into a gimmick of some kind? Make her a cocky woman that brags about how she's stronger than any of the other girls and if you want to play on the evil foreign thing she can do the promos in Lithuanian. Give her something to do because right now she's just another heel diva with no direction.
