WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Feb 8)

8. Alicia Fox Wasn't Half Bad

WWE Divas tend to fall into two categories - first, there are the trained wrestlers, women who are as capable of having good matches as the men and who have typically been on top during the periods where the division is worth following. The other category consists of women who were hired primarily for their looks, then trained to compete. While occasionally someone in the second category becomes a true talent, usually the divide between the two is easy to see. Alicia Fox is considered part of the second category, and despite being the longest-tenured Diva on the roster, she hasn't shown much in terms of her in-ring ability. That's why last night's match was so surprising. Granted, it was a five-minute-long affair and Fox was selling for most of it, but her offense looked good, her timing was strong, and everything about the match worked. It's hard to change people's perceptions, but Fox has clearly improved.
