5 Talking Points from Monday Night Raw, December 23-2013
The latest edition of WWE Monday Night Raw was themed for Christmas and so it involved Christmas themed matches and segments, with none of these succeeding in entertaining the fans. Only the 6-man tag team matches provided some relief. It wasn’t a good Monday Night, but it did come up with some talking points:
5. Where are the WWE Divas heading? Nowhere!
All the Divas of the WWE (except for AJ Lee) together put up one of the worst matches of this year. It was a tag match between the “Total Divas” and “Rest of the Divas,” all dressed up in Christmas costumes and yes, Total Divas won the match. The Divas simple tagged each other with everyone showing one or two moves until Natalya made Aksana tap out with her Sharpshooter. Watching the Total Divas form a chain and knock every other Diva out was embarrassing instead of entertaining. Thank God, we had AJ for commentary which was a relief during the match. Neither the audience nor the commentators were involved in the match, with Michael Cole even confusing Summer Rae for Rosa Mendes. Wow!!! The way WWE is pushing these “Total Divas” which are full of ‘talent’ like Eva Marie, the future of the company’s Divas looks ruined. Thank God we have AJ and Natalya, but two women alone can’t run the whole division, and WWE needs to address this situation.
