Maxine Leaves WWE; Angelina Leaves TNA

She was my favorite from NXT, but it looks like Maxine is done with the WWE. I think she had some potential. Obviously, the WWE was not doing much with her for a while now. That is to say, not on the two major shows. Should she have waited it out? Considering that the diva division is currently in a dark period, waiting it out may have led to her getting some kind of angle on Raw or Smackdown sooner or later. However, this dark period isn't as productive as the one you had after Sable left, so the WWE still might have wasted Maxine.

Was anything of value lost? My personal bias aside, nothing of value was lost with Maxine leaving. I hope that doesn't come off as sounding rude. She had not become one of the most over divas in the company, she was not involved in anything too important, and her future really did not look too bright in this current messy diva division. I'm sad to see her go, but that is just another loss for the WWE that will not lead to them changing how they do things.

Angelina Love has left TNA. TNA was not doing much with her for a long time now. She was a multiple time Knockout's Champion and instrumental in the history of the division. TNA's inability to use her right over the last few months is another example of my point that TNA cannot keep the ball rolling properly for a lot of their workers. This is what damages them when it comes to creating draws. Angelina Love had a run as top face of the division in 2010, before Mickie James came in. After Mickie came in, they did not immediately kill Angelina off. She still had a storyline involving Winter going on. This eventually led to her winning the tag titles. They still kept the ball rolling, but it did not last. How hard could it have been to just book her in some relevant matches more often this year?

Was anything of value lost? On the one hand, Angelina Love has a great history in the division. On the other hand, they were wasting her. They have a lot of other women to use. I still think she has more value than some of these other women, but it was her choice to leave. If TNA is unable to start coming up with more storylines for their women that need it the most, they will be losing a lot more soon.
