Top 8: Who Should Come Back To Face Charlotte

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.  

So what do you think of the list?  Agree?  Disagree?  Did someone not make the cut?  Sound off in the comments and be sure to share!

Which NXT Start Is Next?!

If you haven't heard yet, NXT is the hottest thing going in professional wrestling right now.  If you mention professional wrestling then odds are that the letters N-X-T are going to be coming out of your mouth sooner rather than later.  With all talks geared towards WWE's developmental system, the question remains: Which stars are headed up to the main roster next?  Here are my pics!

5. Tyler Breeze

Prince Pretty's here.  Tyler Breeze is one character you can't help but like in NXT.  A model that is billed from a different seasonal residence in every match, Breeze makes his way to the ring holding a phone out in front and taking a selfie.  The thing that sets Breeze apart from other wrestlers with cheesy gimmicks that Breeze has the in-ring skills to back it up.  It won't be long before Breeze sets his sights on the main roster, but maybe he'll pick up the NXT Championship first, I mean cause hey, it's a great accessory!

4. Sasha Banks

The Boss of NXT has proved time and time again that she's The Boss for a reason.  After forging her own path after former leader Summer Rae's departure to the main roster, Banks has shown the world that she is a force to be reckoned with.  Currently holding the NXT Women's Championship (which is way more relevant than the WWE Divas Championship in my opinion) Sasha Banks has shown she's one of the best women's wrestlers in the world.  Her battles with former champion Charlotte and her most recent bout with Becky Lynch at NXT: Unstoppable have show that Banks is here to stay and a main roster debut can't be too far away.

3. Sami Zayn

One of the biggest fan favorites in NXT, Sami Zayn skanks his way out to the ring as the resident wrestling ska kid.  Recently Zayn has been battling with long time friend and current arch nemesis: Kevin Owens.  Sami made a main roster appearance, accepting John Cena's United States Championship open challenge a few weeks back.  Currently he's out with injury after Owens' nailed him with a pop up powerbomb to the ring apron.  But with Owens now causing a scene on the main roster, you can bet that Zayn is not too far behind.

2. Finn Balor

There aren't too many superstars that can silence an arena during their entrance.  Balor has the ability to do that and then keep that audience because his in-ring skills are just as impressive.  From his top-rope double stomp to the dropkick in the corner, Balor is a wrestling machine that can't be stopped.  I need to go back to talking about the corner drop kick because it is one of the most intense moves in my opinion.  It's one of the most exciting and painful looking things I've ever seen.  I see Balor making the move to the main roster sooner rather than later.  But when he makes that jump, the demon is gonna make an entrance you won't soon forget!

1. Charlotte

Wooooo!!  The daughter of the one and only "Nature Boy" Ric Flair has proved she has the tools to make just as big of an impact in wrestling as her father.  Charlotte is a natural athlete and full proof that sometimes it's just in your genes.  Charlotte has shown she is dominant force in the women's division, defeating the likes of Natalya, Emma, and Alicia Fox from the main roster, as well as putting a beating on the NXT Divas like Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Bayley.  Charlotte wins matches with her dad's Figure 4 Leg Lock, but she kicks it up a notch, adding a bridge and calling it the Figure 8.  Charlotte's skills and pedigree, lead to her making a debut on the main roster sooner rather than later.  I'm betting we see her next time RAW rolls into The Queen City Charlotte, NC.  (We need Charlotte Vs Paige soon!)
