Naomi Injured & Two Divas Debut

How often do you hear about wrestlers getting eye injuries? I am not talking about storylines involving eye injuries. I am talking about legitimate eye injuries. You have two in less than a week right now. John Cena suffered one last weekend, and Naomi suffered one on Raw.

This is a bad break for Naomi. She was in the middle of the first real solo push she has ever gotten on Raw. Yes, it was looking like a basic filler push, but it was still something for her to do. And bad eye injuries can be scary. Does her push go back to The Bellas? How about Cameron? Given the WWE's standards these days, they can give the push to any face diva.

Aside from Naomi's injury, another topic to pay attention to is the debut of two new divas. Their debuts was obviously not a response to Naomi's injury. Kaitlyn's departure a few weeks ago might have had a little to do with it, but the WWE was probably waiting to debut some new divas into this dry diva division.

Lana will be debuting alongside Alexander Rusev. Periphery angle right there. And she is the kind of diva they would push as an eye-candy periphery diva. Problem is, this is not a good time to even be an eye-candy periphery diva in that diva division. Look at Aksana's career in the WWE. She started out with some periphery angles. Her angle with Antonio Cesaro could have been handled a lot better. And what has she done since? Giving other divas eye injuries? With a poor midcard, you cannot expect great feuds for Rusev. Without great feuds for Rusev, Lana will not be utilized as best as she could.

And Emma? Her dancing thing has made her debut much anticipated. This woman has wrestling training prior to coming to the WWE. If this was not a dark age, she would be an obvious credible jobber. What good is a jobber to the centerpiece or interim centerpiece with no centerpiece in sight? Everything has collapsed right now. Are they looking for a female version of Fandango? Are they hoping Emma's gimmick creates some fad? Well, she is in the same spot as Lana. Coming in during a dark age is good because the WWE is not busy thinking about what to do for the centerpiece, but this dark age lacks the interest that the first one had over a decade ago. The WWE just does not have the drive to be consistent with these women in entertaining, productive ways. If there was a centerpiece around, I would say Emma would be the next Jillian Hall. Seeing as there is none, she has a slight chance to actually be treated better than a lowly credible jobber.
