The Rise Of Emma?

The WWE shrugged off the crowd and CM Punk did not return. You ever read reports of morale being down in TNA? The WWE's victory last night had to be a morale killer for a lot of fans. Was that the best the fans could do? It didn't seem to make a huge impact. In any case, moving on to diva matters.

Title matters aren't worth talking about right now. The spotlight is on the periphery matters between Emma and Summer Rae. Summer Rae and her sidekick have been feuding with Emma and Santino. Is this the rise of Emma? She has a gimmick and is being allowed to run with it. Of course, what will really decide things is how the WWE follows through with her. And it doesn't help that the WWE has been very inconsistent with the diva division recently. Personally, I get the feeling she will end up like Jillian Hall. She has a comedy gimmick. Will it get her over? Does it matter? They will most likely be able to bury her very easily, should she get more over than they want her to be.

I believe this is all really for the benefit of Summer Rae. I have said before that she is the kind of diva they like to develop as their centerpiece for the diva division. Outside of title matters, the WWE has been very inconsistent with periphery angles. Nevertheless, it seems like Summer Rae has benefited the most in terms of being featured in these periphery feuds. She teamed with Fandango to go against Natalya and whomever her partner was at the time. I don't think this is all just random booking. Even The Bellas, two women many accuse of sleeping their way to the top, have not gotten even good usage in the periphery in recent months. They get random and inconsistent treatment. Filler. There have been actual feuds involved for Summer Rae, even if it was just a mediocre feud against Tyson Kidd and Natalya. If I had to pick which of the two out of Emma and Summer Rae is likely to be pushed well by the WWE in coming months, I would stick with Summer Rae.

When you analyze, you have to look at what is actually there, not for what you want to see. I always talk about looking for who is being pushed with great consistency, hype, and creative interest to understand whom the WWE wants to be their stars in the division. Well, no one is being pushed very well. What do you do? Look at what is actually going on. Who is being pushed better in relation to the rest? You have to stop and think about why you are not seeing what you would usually go by to figure things out. You are in the worst dark age the diva division has ever had. Issues in the men's division are also impacting the diva division. You don't need special backstage sources to tell you this stuff.
