The Divas Division could actually be a huge part of WWE programming. TNA has had great success with female wrestling in the past. What the WWE lacks are distinctive characters and compelling storylines in the Divas Division. Plus, as "empowered" as the WWE tries to present their division as -- the Divas are still exploited as eye-candy. There's nothing wrong with the women being sexy, at all, but the WWE shouldn't be so fixed on that one type of female performer. Bring in some older female veterans and some less attractive girls that can wrestle. Hire maybe two joshi, have one earn a contract by beating the other and let the other go to NXT and work down there with some of the girls. She can eventually get called up to the main roster and feud with the girl that beat her originally.
Storylines for the girls is important, and I actually think the Divas Division would benefit if it had its own writer. It's hard to do that with other divisions, since the male talent roster is essentially pooled; but the females seem to exist, at least when it comes to in-ring stuff, in their own little realm.
