The only way I'm OK with it is if Banks goes full heel again and Naomi and Tamina are her backup. She needs to be the leader of that group.

I've thought about it more, and I'm just happy Sasha doesn't have to wrestle against Naomi right now because you're always at risk of being injured when Naomi tries some crazy **** she can't do.

How many people has Naomi injured?

She hasn't BUT there are times where she does a very athletic move, botches it and both her and the other diva take a nasty bump.

I fear for any other the NXT women against Tamina... actually I fear for any WWE woman going against her.

When they did that triple threat for the title a month or so ago, Paige was very lucky to escape without a concussion. Naomi is athletic but she botches moves constantly.

When Tamina is out there even the Ref is in danger! LOL

On the reverse frankensteiner where it's Paige's responsibility to do a back flip? We're crediting that to Naomi?

I'm not saying Naomi's great because we can all see how inconsistent she is, but if her opponents were in any greater danger of injury around her, WWE wouldn't keep putting her out there and letting her do these moves.

Playing the guessing game; HHH comes out to assist Rollins, but turns on him. "It's best for business" storyline part 2. Lesnar will be the special attraction champion and we get an excellent storyline pitting the future vs the authority.

That could work. The thing about a Heyman turn is, what can he possibly do that would cost Lesnar the match? If Kane and Rollins can't stop Lesnar, Rollins and Heyman sure as hell aren't going to stop him. They could maybe have Heyman pull a ref out as he's about to count out Rollins, but then Lesnar will destroy him, start laughing, suplex Rollins about five more times, hit an f-5 and still win. Sticking him with The Authority works, although it's going to be hard to make Lesnar a heel

Pretty much the only way to get Heyman to turn is if Brock turns and joins the Authority and Heyman follows suit.

Finally caught up with this week's RAW. Of course I enjoyed all the segments people are talking about which are debuts of Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. Since I don't watch NXT I have no opinion of them but have heard great reviews about them. So hope they help spark up this Divas division. Of course I enjoyed the triple threat match with Cesaro looking amazing again. Rusev looked tired when he had to face Cena though but he had a great showing too. Glad we got a Stardust sighting too although I'm waiting for him to end the gimmick. And yeah, I enjoyed the contract signing. Lesnar gets to do more damage and poor Kane had to be the sacrificial goat this time. I am intrigued to see how Seth Rollins will overcome Lesnar on Sunday. Enjoyable RAW this week.

To those that want the Stardust gimmick to go away, you'll have to wait way longer. Cody loves the gimmick, and the Stardust name has a very strong meaning to him. Dusty used to call him that as a kid, Dusty used to travel on a private jet called Star Dust, and even had Cody wear a shirt that said Star Dust when he refereed a match in his mid or late teens.

Yeah, that's me.

The fact that the name means so much to him doesn't take away that the gimmick blows. I don't know, maybe they can wait out Goldust's injury then re-team them because they actually had a purpose then.

Hopefully the divas division actually gets interesting now with the top 3 divas from NXT now on main roster. Who knows,maybe they will have a "Womens vs Divas title match" and then it leads to the Womens title in WWE being brought back.

I hope the teams don't last that long though. They need to have Charlotte,Sasha re-form the BFFs again! BFFs vs Paige,Becky vs Bellas.

And why does it seem like everytime Steph talks about women on screen,she comes off as one of those extreme feminist soccer mom type of people?

And acting like womens soccer is suddenly a big thing,just cause USA won the womens world cup...guess what,lots of other countries cared about soccer long before USA. Same goes with tennis, Serena has been dominating for so long now,and the division itself has been good for awhile now too,this isn't some new trend happening.

WWE just trying to be like "look at us,we're just like everyone else!".

That match graphic was so much better than the graphics WWE uses today.

Because AJ Lee called her out publicly over how the women's division has been portrayed the past few years.

Yeah. Between AJ's comments, the organic #GiveDivasAChance, and more mainstream American female athletes, WWE's hand was pretty much forced. They just had to figure out a way to make it "their" idea.

It's obviously a "hey, we have it too!" thing, but hopefully it works out anyway.
