Without a doubt, Charlotte is a new contender to be the face of the Divas division in WWE. With the unrivaled athleticism and the natural charisma of her father, Charlotte shut critics up on NXT and has begun to take the main roster by storm since arriving on the scene with fellow NXT Horsewomen Sasha Banks & Becky Lynch.
And if you don't think Charlotte is all that great then:
But seeing as she is the future, I wanted to take a look into the past and bring you the Top 8 Divas that I would love to see return and give Charlotte a run for her money!
8. Melina
More than just the Diva with one of (if not the most) memorable ring entrances of all time, Melina was a force to be reckoned with in the ring as well. Capturing both the Women's and Divas' Championships, Melina was constantly adding to her arsenal in the squared circle. (You know that cool knee to the gut thing in the corner that Sasha does? Guess who did it first?) Bring this paparazzi loving Diva back in the mix with Charlotte and you're sure to make headlines.
7. Gail Kim
She may have been back in WWE for only a hot minute, but it sure would be great to see one more minute in the ring with Charlotte. Gail made an impact when she first came to WWE, winning the Women's Championship in her first match, then mixing it up with Golden-Era Divas like Trish, Molly, Victoria, and Lita. Gail was released and then earned her name in TNA. When returning to WWE Gail found herself in the slump of the Divas division, maybe returning now and getting in the squared circle with Charlotte is just what she needs to get a back on top!
6. AJ Lee
The one that basically originated and instigated the #GiveDivasAChance movement decided to opt out of the business right before WWE actually did. (Maybe there's something to that...) AJ Lee brought some much needed focus to the Divas Division before she parted ways with the company last year. She had some great matches with Paige, but really lacked competition during her time at the top. (I actually really would have like to see her face off against Eve Torres) If AJ made her return now, I think her facing Charlotte has real potential to possibly main event RAW even! It would definitely have eyes tuning in that Monday!
5. Mickie James
Jumpin Mickie James! Mickie has been missed in the ring since she left the company a few years ago. Sure, you could have caught her on TNA, but that's not what we're focusing on here. Mickie, while crazy at times, was always entertaining in the ring and was basically an in-ring general. A character that we really got to see evolve, it was very interesting to watch Mickie transition from the Trish-Lita Era into the Butterfly Belt Era. With Charlotte stepping in with the Divas, a match between these two would certainly be worth checking out!
4. Lita
High-Flying, Risk-Tasking, and Breath-Taking are all descriptions that Lita earned during her time with WWE. While she's still currently on TV each week, helping coach the hopefuls on the latest season of WWE's Tough Enough, fans are basically begging her to take one step back in the ring. With Lita's legacy, mixed with Charlotte's current popularity, we're looking a match that is destined to be an instant classic! A Moonsault countered into a Figure-8...I don't know how they'd do it, but I'd love to see it happen!
3. Beth Phoenix
When you think of a powerhouse Diva, the first one that comes to mind is The Glamazon. Beth Phoenix came in and basically over-powered every Diva that crossed her path. I can't really think of a match where Beth lost and the announcers didn't play it off as anything other than a fluke...but against the likes of Charlotte (who's equally a powerhouse herself) she might just have her hands full. These two would definitely offer a match for the history books and we'll actually see who is genetically superior.
2. Trish Stratus
She's basically the pinnacle of Women's professional wrestling, the one, the only: Trish Stratus. Trish is basically everything WWE has ever wanted in a Diva, she's a supermodel that could kick ass in the ring. Trish and Lita's storied rivalry is basically what any wrestling fan compares Women's wrestling to. Basically: this woman is the measuring stick. The Genetically Superior daughter of Ric Flair Vs The Icon...that's some Wrestlemania quality match material right there!
1. Victoria
Whether you call her Victoria, or Tara, she's one of the most gifted women to ever step into the Squared Circle. (If you know her restaurant's name, you'll see what I did there.) Victoria was one of the baddest chicks to ever set foot in the WWE. Victoria put on quality matches no matter who the opponent. Her street fight with Trish and her cage match with Lita are two of the most iconic women's matches of all time. If Victoria returned to the ring to do battle with Charlotte, the match is destined for greatness. These two ladies would give nothing back and that is why Victoria is my number 1 pick to face of against The Nature Girl.
