They were very important in the transition phase from ''Diva'' to ''Women's Revolution'' IMO. Now that the 'new' women (Becky, Sasha, Charlotte, Riott Squad, Carmella, etc.) are the standard and no longer the special attraction, the Bellas feel like the special attraction, eventhough they are from the era before AND during all of this happened. I wouldn't say that they don't fit anymore, it just seems like they are now what the 4 horsewomen etc. were before.

I miss the days of Sable and Torrie and Stacey in g strings. Sue me.

Perhaps not now with the ring rust and injuries, but Nikki was pretty much as good a female wrestler as they had before the Revolution callups. I remember the ZOMG DREAM FEUD between Paige and AJ Lee where every match sucked except the triple threat with Nikki Bella.
At this point, I don’t think there’s much need for them, certainly on a regular basis. Occasional appearances are welcome though, breaks up the endless rematches between full timers.

They stick out like a sore thumb. Ever since they returned, the women's division has been girly again.

Disagree. they've improved, in ring wise, are hot, and have lots of charisma, they can only benefit from having a stronger women's division, much in the same way Trish did. All the charisma of a wet paper bag. Also, yes, greatly improved.

I think they would be fine as Managers but due to them being linked to Bryan and Cena (and the fact those two don't need Managers) I find them quite unfitting with the current Women's Roster. They really need to stop the whole narrative that The Bellas are some sort of pioneers of the Women's Division because they clearly weren't.

When Brie and Maryse went toe to toe it was like a throwback to 2008 and that's not a good thing.

It's only like the men: some of them can wrestle and others can't.
Problem with the women is it drags the whole division back several years.

There's no need for them to come back to wrestle in WWE. They're fine being in Total Divas and their own show Total Bellas. They're not taking the title off Ronda nor are they taking it off Becky. And Bryan needs to finish his feud with The Miz on his own.

They want to do their beauty products or cloths or whatever the hell they are trying to sell, go do it. Don't come leeching off the WWE audience for it if you can't hold a candle to who has been holding the fort down and made your asses obsolete.

All I know is, I have a sister in law who wanted to go to a house show a year or so back just because the Bellas were advertised. She doesn't watch wrestling. Doubt she ever has. But she watches Total Bellas and became a fan. That's exactly what WWE wants. Them to bring in outside fans. So while we may not give two s**ts, there are people out there that do. We just have to come to terms that not everything is based off our wants. Say it louder for the people in the back! I don't think either Bella is great in the ring, but I don't think they're bad either. They improved a lot. People don't get why NIkki is in a top tier match at Evolution, but it's clear why. You put the names out there. Whether you like or dislike them, they're big names. Like you, I know people who don't watch wrestling, but know who they are. i even know a few who specifically got free trials of the Network to see the Bellas. They check out the show, maybe enjoy what they see, and BOOM. New fan.

There's a reason during the height of the Bella Era the women were having 2 minute matches.

New fan. that type of rhetoric would be more of a reasonable argument if it wasn’t the fact that they’ve already been disproportionately marketed far above any other female outside aj lee and Paige within their era...so of course they have a larger brand. the larger issue is that they were shoved down our throats quite unwillingly, and admittedly after some work both showed value - but it’s quite understandable for people who were never inclined toward them would rather they not be a part of the current product..

Exactly, it's a self fulfilling prophecy to market them and then claim they're more popular when they give more time, more championships, features on other shows, etc.

We have to have some good looking people to look at, and most of the women they have today aren't lookers at all. I wouldn't say MOST at all. I'd say Most are good looking. I know it's all personal preference but I think Lynch, Carmella, Logan, Morgan, Fox, Bliss, Royce, Lana, Rose, Rousey, Vega, and Kanellis are all hot.

same thing happened when Rousey came in. Even the Bellas were tweeting its "not fair" Rousey gets a big push but people need to realize she is a huge name that brings in outside eyes. Same with the Bellas. Not really outside eyes but more casual fans get more interested. It's all about sales and the Bellas sell. So whether the "die hard" fans think they belong or not doesn't mean a thing. Same as Reigns. It's a great business decision
