Beth Phoenix Vs. Eve At Survivor Series: Eve Doesn't Even Matter

Eve is getting another title shot against Beth Phoenix at Survivor Series. I'm surprised they didn't just bother having the title match on Raw and pushing for a big tag match featuring divas from both brands at the PPV. If you are going to draw a feud out like this, it would be nice to actually develop it.

What was pushed on this week's Raw? Kelly Kelly and Maxim. Once again, I doubt the WWE has given up on her as centerpiece. But did they really need to feature her in even the diva match on Raw? It was a short match, but Kelly Kelly still won it. What about Eve? She was just there. If they didn't want to go for a tag match at Survivor Series, they should have least have had a tag match on Raw or Smackdown that featured Eve, Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, and possibly another one or two faces going against Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Tamina, and possibly Rosa or The Bellas. I've read the Smackdown spoilers. Nothing from Eve. The heels gained some momentum, but that does not mean too much here. Kelly Kelly has more hype around her right now than the face going after the Diva's Championship.

It would be really funny if Eve, with all the lack of attention and build she has gotten, is booked to win the title. I could say that I don't understand why the WWE is treating Eve like this, but that would be untrue. Eve is the face credible jobber here. She is Kelly Kelly's sidekick. The WWE could easily do more to give Eve fairer hype and a better chance to get over, but they do not. That is not how the diva division has worked for over 13 years now, and it doesn't look like it is changing for the better. Given that the WWE is still promoting Kelly Kelly, the only reason for a title change would be if someone was turning heel. Having Eve win it just to drop it to another heel to drop to Kelly Kelly would make sense too, but seems too convoluted. Beth's momentum may have been running dry recently with how the WWE is pushing her, but she is still top heel and Kelly Kelly might still stand to look best by going over her to regain the title. Eve, once again, just seems to be filler.
