Divas Go Off On WWE.com Article

– Nikki Bella went off on a WWE.com article about the Diva’s division. The article, titled Divas of Doom … or salvation?, dicusses the state of the Divas division and whether Natalya and Beth Phoenix are going to destroy the division or save it. Nikki seems to have taken exception for it, as she posted an extended rant on the Bellas’ Twitter feed:

Wow @WWE definitely woke up 2 an embarrassing article you wrote… Well u wanted to know everyone’s thoughts @WWEUniverse, Here’s Nikki B’s…

First off…. Um you want me to slap you with all of my awards and championships I have won? I was a #1 athlete… Which other Diva was? Secondly, Bri & @RealKellyKelly have been the only entertainment that has happened 2 the Diva’s Division & have worked harder than anyone! Thirdly, I’ve seen 2 girls the past few weeks try as hard as they can to be “models” while us “models” have busted our butts…

Oh and good luck with the up and coming Divas…. Sure you’ll make a lot of money with them…. Um actually NOT!

Lastly, @RealKellyKelly & Us are better than anyone in the past so Katie Raymond check your self and come read this article to my face! NB

Since then, a number of Divas have weighed in on the article. Kelly Kelly followed up with:

#divas we’re just doing what we love, entertaining every week. We’ve all worked very hard to get here. just wish all this hate would go away.

Beth Pheonix had her own posts on the matter:

Its not the Divas Division that needs saving, but the WWE Universe. Myself and @NatbyNature are on a mission to make you change your minds…As long as I can remember I have worked my butt off and been underappreciated while the crowd adores @RealKellyKelly and @EveMarieTorres…I am tired of looking and being the best and being passed over time and time again. Im done asking for approval. And just getting started proving my point. #DivasofDoom

Brie Bella came in late in the game, posting the following:

Wow, I just woke up to the craziness! The words spoken by Katie are laughable, but I’m a women who will stand for what I believe in…so…I know what I’ve given to the fans and that’s all what matters. WWE might think your a bunch of puppets that are persuaded by their words…I know how you all feel 🙂 good and bad, I love it! I mean if WWE cared about Divas why do we have such little time on tv?

Why were divas such as Mickey James, Melina and Gail Kim released. Why aren’t wrestlers like Sara Del Ray hired? All amazing!……Kelly Kelly and myself have worked to hard to have an unknown, untalented writer say the things she did. Katie (whoever) [author of the article] Suck it! Love Brie

Lastly, CM Punk decided to weigh in:

So wait. The divas are mad about an in house article on wwe.com that is potentially designed to garner them attention/TV time? Awesome. Looks like @NatbyNature and @TheBethPhoenix are also #pinupsmart

The responses could be in-character of course, though in an in-character situation Nikki would not be likely to be so complimentary to Kelly Kelly.
