The fact that Nikki Bella is on her way to becoming the longest reigning Divas champion tells you everything about the Divas division, laughable.
The fact they're booking the divas wrestling to promote and tie in to the divas reality show says it all. Ass backwards.

She was featured on television just about every week for six years. And in her time period, Divas having merchandise was pretty rare. Not even LayCool, who regularly wore their own t-shirts on TV, had merchandise that I can recall. I'm pretty sure AJ was the first Diva to have merchandise in ages, opening the doors for Paige, the Bellas, and etc. Maybe Mickie James was the last one before her? I think AJ was the first diva since Lita to get a T shirt printed for both men and women? So that opened the doors for a few like Natalya. They should have totally released a Laycool flawless shirt for men

i completely agree - and i'm generally not a divas fan anyhow, so i have no bias. they are forced upon us - their first run was a total flop and then they got brought back in around the time that total divas show started. Agreed.

Kelly Kelly never had her own merchandise. 3 Mattel figures, t shirts, and multiple other items featuring Kelly Kelly's likeness were available while she was under WWE contract. Anyone can get a toy but she never had her own merchandise page on wwe shop.I don't remember a kelly t shirt.

I hate scripted "reality" TV like that (I know that's funny coming from a wrestling fan I know lol but at least that is somewhat entertaining, Total Divas is Total Garbage). From the few clips I've seen on youtube not one of the Divas come across as particularly nice, I don't know how much of it is played up for the show but still. I'm a huge Paige fan but not even adding her to the show made me watch it!!

Nikki has developed into the HOSS of the Divas division. Brie is awful still.
But yes, they are definitely the Roman Reigns of women's wrestling.

I don't think the bellas are being forced to like or hate.They have improved really well especially last year when brie was feuding with Stephanie and Nikki becoming divas champion.Nikki is probably the best diva they have now.

I'm not a big fan of the Bellas, but Nikki's really improved over the last year or so. I was disappointed that she and Brie got put back together. I can't stand Brie.

Are they actually leaving or was that a Total Divas storyline?

I think people may be underestimating the popularity of Total Divas. E! has a fanatical market, and The Bellas are the cornerstone of that show. I would imagine WWE utilizes them on their shows a great deal in the hopes that people who tune into Total Divas are maybe also watching the main product and seeing (presumably) their favorites.

Are they actually leaving or was that a Total Divas storyline? It's possible it could be just a storyline. According to season one, they signed a three year deal when they returned so it should be up around 2016. If we are to believe anything from the show, I sense that Brie will leave to be a mom.

Brie Bella is pretty poor. Nikki on the other hand, I think she's pretty great. She's improving in the ring recently and showing good character. The whole "Fearless" doesn't help, but she's doing pretty good I think.

I think Total Divas is a great show! You get to see backstage stuff that you wouldn't see on Raw or Smackdown, and you get to see wrestlers out of their place and actually be normal and not seen as TV wrestlers. (which is odd being it is a TV show)
Secondly, the Bella Twins are great! Nikki Bella is the Brock Lesnar of the divas division. She can pick any one of them up and deliver rack attack and that's pretty cool!
I think once Nikki beats AJ's reign of being longest Divas Champion, Charlotte will appear and will take the belt from Nikki. Those two working together would bring out the best in Nikki, would solidify Charlotte as a big deal, and entertain the crowds for a while.

I wouldn't say the only one, but to most she lacks in ring talent and has an incredibly annoying voice especially when shouting "Come on Nikki!" at the top of her lungs every 5 seconds.
