Diva's Challenge.....

I'd like to try an experiment. Beth Phoenix is the current Diva's Champion. Picking a competitor to face her at Wrestlemania should NOT be a difficult thing. BUT, for whatever reason, WWE seems to have a touch of oblivion when it comes to them writing a story to go along with the Diva's Division, making it ABSOLUTELY necessary for the Divas to go to the internet to bolster some attention. Does any of this sound familiar? Yeah, I'm talking about you, Zack Ryder.

Ever since Phoenix went to the net via Twitter, rumors began coming out of the woodwork as to who her challenger would be. Let's have a look, shall we?

Natalya.....This shouldn't be much of a surprise as the two of them are the best women performers on the entire WWE roster, but for some reason, it doesn't look like a matchup between them is going to happen.

Kharma.....Ever since the Royal Rumble entrance of Kharma, speculation began to fly that SHE would be the next challenger for the butterfly belt. With her still recuperating from her pregnancy and WWE not rushing her back to television for the Mania storyline build as of yet, the probability is a bit low for her as well.

Trish Stratus....This one is VERY recent. She's been making teases at a possible match at Mania between the two. Now, I have never been a fan of Trish; no offense to those of you who were and are, but she, in my humble opinion was one of the most overrated Divas WWE has had. On the heels of saying that, however, I will admit she's arguably the most popular Diva of the modern era. I wouldn't be a BIT surprised to see her come out of the curtain when Phoenix goes into her 'challenge' segments in the coming weeks.

Medusa....This one is a wild card. She has the white strap WWF Women's Title in her possession from the mid-90's. She's been making challenges herself, claiming she'll put her title on the line in Miami this year as well. I, personally, LOVE Medusa. I think she was given a raw (no pun intended) deal in WCW and I think she was one of the best WWF Divas of her time in terms of in ring performance. NOW, add in a few years experience and some training with some of the best in the business today, and you could have a battle of the eras that may be worth the watch on the big stage. As far as how probable? My guess is not very. WWE has done such a shoddy job of explaining who most of the legendary characters of WWE past are that, I would imagine, no one save for the precious few who have followed from ages ago would even understand Medusa'a significance to the title scene.

I give Beth Phoenix, Natalya, and Tamina all the credit in the world for being the performers carrying the division on their backs. Yes, I did just snub Kelly Kelly. Fact is, if WWE did more shopping for Divas in the indies and less at Hawaiian Tropic bikini pageants and the like, the division would have something worth giving some time, but until then, the three towers of power of the division will either have to make do with the time they have.....or cross the line.
