With Total Divas season three beginning this Sunday, September 7th, WWE fans will notice the newest member of the group Rosa Mendes on the show. This was a surprising move by WWE to add Mendes out of all the divas on the roster. She is never on WWE programming. Even when she was on, Mendes was only there for her looks as a valet.
WWE fans will already notice that WWE is going to showcase Mendes a bit more since she has become part of the Total Divas show. She teamed with Natalya against Summer Rae and Layla on the September 1st edition of Main Event.
With all this said, here are three better options WWE could have chosen for the newest member of Total Divas.
Layla
Speaking of Summer Rae’s new best friend, Layla would be a very appropriate addition to the E! reality show. Layla has had a very successful career in WWE. She is a former Women’s and Diva’s champion. Her run with Michelle McCool as LayCool was one of the best storylines divas were having at that time. WWE is capitalizing on the success of LayCool by having Summer Rae join Layla in the 2014 version.
With Layla partnering with a current member of Total Divas already in Summer Rae, the choice to add her to the show is a logical one. WWE fans would see how the two work together backstage before they enter ringside together as partners.
Alicia Fox
Alicia Fox is a diva who has an on again off again relationship with WWE programming. She had a great run as Divas Champion in 2010, but since then has been used as a jobber until a few months ago. Fox took on the role of a crazy diva, similar to AJ Lee, and found herself as the number one contender to the divas title. While she didn’t win the gold, at least she was showcased more temporarily.
Because of this run as the number one contender, she would be a logical choice to join Total Divas in season three. It wouldn’t be so obvious that WWE was only giving Fox TV time because of the show like they are doing with Mendes. Plus, Fox can play the role of a babyface or heel so WWE would have options with her direction on the show.
Eden
Cody Rhodes, I mean Stardust’s real life wife Eden would be an excellent addition to third season of Total Divas. Like Summer Rae and Eva Marie, Eden would give fans the prospective of a newcomer. However, unlike the other newbies, Eden would give viewers a look into the development of an announcer rather than a wrestler.
Eden also makes a great addition to the cast due to her relationship with Rhodes. Clearly WWE loves when the divas have real life relationships with their superstars. Nattie and Tyson Kidd, The Bellas with John Cena and Daniel Bryan. Eden would add a nice combination of being a newcomer and having a relationship with a WWE superstar.
Who do you think should have been the newest member of Total Divas? Please share your thoughts in the comment section below.
