I have long been a believer that the Divas Division can make the WWE money. It's just about how the storylines are presented. Hell, Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James was the stand-out match to me at whatever WrestleMania it was when they faced each other (I want to say WrestleMania 22, but I may be very wrong). TNA has proven that the Knockouts can draw money.
I think the WWE needs to step away from the one type of girl. Kharma could have been money, because there is no one else like her. AJ Lee has carved out her own sort of niche, as have Paige and Emma in NXT. I just think that the girls need to be given proper storylines and characters. I still think that Paige vs. Stephanie McMahon could be absolute money. Have Stephanie put Paige in matches against her own mother (signed for a short-term deal, or given a shot and then turned into a producer/trainer), her NXT trainer Sara Del Rey and maybe even have Steph bring back names like Beth Phoenix or Kharma (who take offence to Paige calling herself an "Anti-Diva" when they think she is just a bendy little girl) to destroy her. Paige overcomes this all and earns herself a shot at the Divas Championship.
AJ Lee is a character that people are actually invested in too. It seems like Emma might soon be the new hot act in the Divas Division, so it would make sense to put her against AJ pretty soon. But after they put the Divas Title on Emma, I hope they consider turning AJ Lee face against some of Total Divas girls. I don't mind Nattie being a good girl, but I think The Bellas work far better as heels. A rivalry against a heel Summer Rae for AJ could actually be pretty fun. The Bellas could pay Tamina to turn against AJ and join them.
