If they're talking about bringing diva's back to WrestleMania. Thoughts on Eve Torres, Beth Phoenix, Layla & Kaitlyn?

I was just thinking about this after reading the Kelly Kelly thing about her possible return and four diva's, for me, I would welcome back with open arms. Those being Beth Phoenix, Kaitlyn, Eve Torres and Layla.

For me, I felt that Beth (along with Natalya) was a great wrestler within the women's division. She kinda broke the mould of the typical diva and she looked like she could kick ass. She was solid in the ring and I think when she left the WWE it was quite a loss to them in that respect. We didn't just lose a random diva such as Kelly Kelly for example, we lost a diva who seemed legit and had a ton of believable aspects. So for me, Beth Phoenix would be more than welcomed back.



With Kaitlyn, I feel she was completely misused and was just getting her career going and improving so fast it was great. Her spear was shit hot and the feud she had with AJ was one of the greatest feuds in the Diva's division in a long time which still stands out today. I feel that both her and AJ really made that feud work and because she was getting so good and becoming impressive more and more in the ring, I feel the way the WWE misused her really resulted in them also losing another great talent.



Eve Torres. Honestly I just thought she was amazing as a heel. That little royal wave she would do and she just seemed to have 'it' when it came to playing a heel. Her whole aura was unique and there was something real special about Eve Torres that I would definitely welcome her back with open arms also.



And last but not least, Layla. She just had this lovely bubbly personality that always came across great on screen. She wasn't that bad in the ring either but I do feel that she brought something quite unique within herself that I would also be quite happy to see Layla back for Wrestlemania.



So what are your thoughts in regards to these girls? And also, who would you like to see back as a one off at Wrestlemania to fit in with whatever they have planned? I would love to hear some thoughts and vibes from you guys.​

I would welcome Eve Torres back with open arms because I know she played that bitch heel role to a tea. She knew how to get under the fans skins and would do anything plus use anyone to get what she wanted. She had an amazing heel champion reign too. Eve also was a perfect liar when it came to being exposed in example Kaitlyn being attacked backstage in September 2012. She had that natural heel aura.

Beth Phoenix, I would also welcome back with open arms because I always did loved her ring work, mic work and her dominating presence in the ring. It was not easy beating her in the ring, the other talent can tell you that. She would not only just dominate you, she would hurt you if you stand before her. The Glamazon did a lot of stuff with the men too as seen on the video the other poster posted. Her comedy skit with Santino was funny to watch and her being the second woman to ever enter the royal rumble was exciting to see. I so want a Charlotte vs Beth Phoenix match.

Kailtyn I would also welcome back because I always felt in her last full year in the company, she was completely misused and micromanagement at the same time. She was an amazing rival for AJ Lee due to their history and friendship back in NXT Season 3 Competition show. She was getting her strive into her move sets and had an amazing spear which did tear AJ Lee in half. Kaitlyn was a perfect face during that era too. It's a damn shame on how much she was misused once they taken the belt off of her.

I'm here for Eve and Kaitlyn. Eve was the best heel before AJ Lee, and Kaitlyn was the best foil to AJ Lee. If they want to throw in Beth because she's going into the Hall of Fame, then so be it. I'm neutral towards her. She didn't have much of an impact on me.

That's cool. And yeah I hear you in regards to Eve, her run with Zack Ryder too she really made it work, I think she's kinda underrated for a heel really. Beth I just think she was a great wrestler and felt legit, would be cool to see her unite with Natalya I think too as they made a great combination.

Thanks for your input, I really appreciate that :)

I honestly don't get why WWE is pretending there's all this nostalgia for Kelly Kelly? The only people I remember really liking her were that one poster who was literally named KellyKellyFan.

Honestly, the only two from that area I really miss as LayCool. I felt they were great together and were lovably annoying. I wish they'd bring them back as sort of a counter point to the "women's revolution."

I thought about Laycool while doing the OP :)

I thought Kaitlyn had problems because she hurt people too often? She was like Aksana.
I'm not sure? I don't recall this but maybe? However like I say towards the end of her run she was showing some real great improvement in the ring until she seemed to lose interest in it.

Both eve and beth gave birth only a few years ago , their kids are too young for them to come back as full time. Layla was good with mcool in laycool but really not much use elsewhere. I remember the last time i saw her , she was with fandango and turned on him if i am right. Doubt kaitlyn wants to come back , she had her first wrestling match at tough enough and strike me as the type who just wants to use wwe as a stepping stone.
Yeah I know. It's more about who you'd like to see at Wrestlemania and welcome back more than will it or won't it happen.

Besides, we don't even know if the Wrestlemania plans are to do with an actual match. Most likely but diva's can appear also again on screen without wrestling too, but it's just in general really more than 'Oh I want them to come back' and saying they will.

Who people would like, welcome back and like to see really.

Aswell as being a great heel, Eve was getting really good in the ring towards to end of her run too. Her last match where Kaitlyn beat her for the Title, was a really good and underrated match and helped put Kaitlyn over at the time. I think Eve, Beth and Kaitlyn could slide in to this new revolution of Divas easily. Layla though, not so much.

I always thought Beth was really good, just came in during the wrong era. Layla never did much for me personally. Eve got really good towards the end of her run which was a shame. Kaitlyn had one good run/angle with AJ but that’s about it.

Yeah same here in regards to Beth. Do you remember when she got that big bruise on her cheek? That was mad. I forget where that came from now but I remember seeing the picture of her with this big swollen cheek, she didn't care lol

Yeah, that run with AJ was good. If you think back on Kaitlyn's career at that point and her progression, it was so good. I really do feel when they misused her for the Total Diva's tag match was completely disrespectful. They just randomly put her on the heel team to make up the numbers, even though she was a babyface at the time. She didn't look into it at all and I can understand that completely. Specially coming off the back of the AJ feud which her and AJ both smashed it.

Someone mentioned Eve fam ?

Haha, yes. The original twerker haha

In regards to the thread though, why not ?

Eve I though played a really good heel, didn't care much as a face but I felt she could get some heat as a heel. Always thought Beth was great as someone else here said, she was just in the wrong era she'd be amazing rn. Not 100% sure how Kaitlyn will do but I had a soft spot for her.

Yeah, I think Eve does get kinda underrated for her heel work. I mean how often do you hear it mentioned yet she was really good at it. Thinking about that comment in regards to Beth and the wrong era. I would love to have seen a match between her and Lita. Unless I'm mistaken that never happened but would have been great. Specially during Lita's era for sure.

On another note I thought that was Drew Mcintyre at first in your signature until I looked properly lol

I would love to see Eve & Melina return... Eve was really good during the time she quit and i really want to see a good Melina & Mickie feud again aswell :)

Layla while still hot as hell was already old 2 years ago when she retired and her knees are shot.

I'd welcome Kaitlyn back with open arms.

Don't have anything to say about Eve or Beth since I was on hiatus from wrestling during their careers but I have seen a couple of Melina matches on the network and she's somebody from that era I'd like to see comeback.

It depends on if they really can perform given how drastic a change women's wrestling has undertaken in the last 2 years. It makes sense for women like Beth to come back because they actually were decent wrestler, and now with better workers, they would probably fit right into the current climate. Mickie James' return is a great example of this as well. I'd love to see Michelle McCool too, because I remember her actually being pretty talented, but held back by WWE at the time because they didn't want the women looking that good in the ring.

Women like Eve, Kelly Kelly, and others I'm not sure about. I never noticed really much in the way of any sort of wrestling talent at all with them, and they'd be better suited to be eye candy and work as valets, managers, etc. That isn't a fault on them at all, because you don't need to have good wrestling talent to be over, look at Lana for example.

Not sure what you meant when you said 'keep' in regards to Beth. I guess you mean don't bring her back right?

Yeah, I've seen Kaitlyn now. She's well thick (as in body not brains) lol.

Melina v. Sasha (Fiesty Latina vs. fiesty black chick)
Michelle McCool v. Charlotte (Charlotte could probably bench press that skinny hick)
AJ Lee v. Bayley (AJ wore a Bayley Hugger shirt on her last RAW appearance)
Mickie James vs. Becky Lynch ( It's already happening)
