Otherwise, Missy Hyatt would have unified every woman's title on the planet.
Second, Alicia Fox is far better in the ring than the namesakes of her team. If you want to talk improvement, look at her. She wasn't that great when she came on, just "athletic". She has improved by those "leaps and bounds", and gets far less credit than she deserves. The Bellas are getting by as more of an attraction than being actually good. They aren't Eva Marie bad, but then again, nobody is. If they had penises, they would not be getting such leeway as "headliners" in their state of mediocrity.
Third, they are prime examples on the mindset of people not giving a shit about women's wrestling. There are girls better than them in every way, but because they're "hawt", they're on top. Nattie could wrestle circles around them, but she's barely on TV in a ring. People chanting for Sasha and Becky aren't just because they've the next cute things, but because they're already aware they can go.
WWE talks a big game about wanting to move the Butterfly Belt past the "every girl gets a turn" championship it was, but they still want to put "marketable" over "believable" when it comes to the girls. Why even bother with the wrestling aspect when "pretty" trumps "skill"?
But then again, I'm one of those silly people who watch wrestling because he likes to see wrestling, and seeing it done poorly by people who are supposed to be the top tier takes me out of the fantasy of how real it isn't. I'm such a mutant, amirite?
