Can WWE just give Paige her third divas title reign just listen to that reaction on Raw and what she did. The other divas got mild reactions before Paige came out. Paige is the stand out diva and should be divas champion

Why? Paige's only 22 and has has like a 10 year window to have as many title runs as she wants before she retires while Nikki Bella on the other hand doesn't have that luxury in fact this current title reign of hers is pretty much it being that her and Brie are both likely to be leaving WWE again after next years WrestleMania anyway.

As a Paige fan I will say that I don't think she should get another reign until the end of the year or 2016 at the earliest(tho I won't complain if she gets one earlier). She's already had two runs with it and I think it's time someone else gets a chance.

I don't think she really needs one right now either, what with her having Total Divas and Tough Enough and I would much rather see her have a storyline not involving the title.

As Paige fan but I'm 50-50 about this since it might hurt her in future but I still want her as champion more than Naomi. so probably go to Nikki retain and drop it to someone else. best option for me is Alicia Fox or Summer Rae since they're underrated as fuck and deserve better. but I think it won't happen so I go to Paige since she is yet to have memorable reign and I think she might similar to Eve Torres if it successful.

Paige has been in the title picture since she been on the main roster. I obviously don't wanna see Nikki the title but I'd rather see some one else like Nattie, Emma, Tamina, or Brie as champion before Paige wins it again.

Exactly my thoughts. Paige has been in the Title picture constantly for over a year now and has had 2 reigns in that time, theres no reason to rush a third reign especially when her first 2 were pretty dull.

For those saying they'd rather see someone else, may I ask why beyond "Because Paige has had it twice." In an ideal world there would be other contenders, but there aren't at the moment. Brie is rather poor in almost every aspect, Tamina is poor and no one cares about her. In fact no one cares applies for almost everyone in the division apart from Nikki and Paige. Yeah Paige does have time to win it loads of times, but really who else is there beyond an NXT call up (in which point people will be complaining that they got the title as soon as they came up).

Other girls deserve it for their in ring skill, other girls don't, but right now it won't be smart to have anyone on the main roster apart from Paige or Nikki to have the title since the crowd don't care about anyone else. The only justification of giving it to someone else is they haven't had it before, which is quite frankly not justification.

You go with what will get the crowd invested, and right now that's Nikki or Paige.
Yeah this whole new diva fan craze of giving the title to every diva because its "fair" is getting out of hand. Would the wwe do that to male roster? I guess its time for Ryder to get the belt. Seriously it makes zero sense, at this point the only two who should have the belt are Paige and Nikki because those are the only two the crowd has given two craps about in a while. They share the status of face of the division. Naomi could get the title as well since in a kayfabe sense she is being built with credibility even if the crowd could careless about her. She would be a perfect candidate to transition the title to a girl who is over. SO if I am booking the matches I have Naomi win at EC with the help of Tamina, then have Nikki claim her rematch and get screwed over by a debuting NXT girl. Have Nikki get a nice outside feud out of the title with Charlotte without facing backlash from diva marks for Charlotte getting hot shotted an opportunity. Naomi can continue her feud with Paige and eventually have Paige go over. Now you have Paige as champion and a ready Charlotte who has already established herself with a previous Nikki feud. Now Charlotte can start a feud with Paige.
Here's the thing though, none of these girls are over to any great degree. I'm a huge Nikki fan but I'm not going to pretend she's getting huge pops every night, and its the same with Paige, she gets good pops for a Diva in 2015 but despite claims of such she's never got huge ovations or had the arena popping for her. Both girls get pretty lukewarm reactions in all honesty. So this idea that oh Alicia/Nattie/Naomi/etc. aren't crazy over so they dont warrant a run is silly. You'd just be replacing a woman who gets a decent reaction (Nikki/Paige) with a woman who gets a slightly less decent reaction.

Nikki has become stale as divas champion its time Paige took back the divas title and made it something
Paige has already grown stale with her SuperDiva booking. And its up to writers to make it something, Paige did nothing memorable as Champ in her first 2 runs. Just as its hard for Nikki to be a good Champ when she has like 10 clean losses for every 1 dirty win in her reign.

The Bellas have to be the only people in WWE who go from heel to face without actually having a turn, yet still draw the same fraction of boo/cheer response from the crowd every week. It's like their reactions stay the same no matter what they do. And yeah, it's been long enough. They had their run, and it's really stale now. Time to phase them out.
Surprisingly, somehow against all logic as zero explanation/effort was put into their face turn by the writers they are getting good face pops thesedays. Nikki even got cheered after laying out Paige.

Paige was a horrible champion.

Both times.


She's great without the belt. There are many characters who just do better "in the mix" but not with the title and she's one of them. She makes a great support character to support a story line or give it more edge.

That's how she was used in NXT. She had minimal TV and mic time. Summer Rae carried her feud until Emma, Natty, and then Alicia did the work.

She was never THE main focal point. She just came out and put on a show the disappeared again until they needed her for a match. Now that she is developing her character more I think it should be just the opposite. Let her play the support role and then use her uniqueness to build up feuds. With the belt she really has nothing to say or do. She's not an intimidating diva so I don't find much enjoyment out of her threats because they aren't believable unless she is arguing with the likes of Brie or Rosa.

I think Paige should go back to NXT, women there are x20 more interesting in their matches! I still love Paige but I loved her more on NXT, hell she was far more interesting when I used to watch her in our home town. The money may be good on the top roster but I'll take quality matches with little pay to show my ability over 30 second matches with high pay and with roll up finishers anyway! :(!

Meh the divas division is a joke Naomi is boring as shit, I wouldn't be shocked to see Tamina be unemployed next year she has the same role with Naomi as she did with AJ though with AJ it worked, and everyone else other then Paige and the Bella's are nobodies


I like Emma and Summer Rae though the future doesn't look bright for them either
