Over the weekend, The Bella Twins appeared at the Indianapolis Comic-Con, where they answered questions on a panel.
One question that Brie Bella was asked about her feelings on WWE main roster Divas getting less time than the NXT women. She responses with the following on the situation, via Wrestling Inc.
"“If I was an NXT Diva, I would not want to come up to the main roster because you get so much time down there,” Brie said. “If you come to the live events, you’ll see that we get a lot of time at the live events. When it comes to TV we get so frustrated because it’s hard to tell a story in 3 minutes and especially when they want an entrance. You’re thinking, ‘What? Can you cut the entrance, we want time to wrestle?’ Especially after watching the NXT Rival pay-per-view and seeing the girls go 20 minutes, it’s like a dream. It’s something we’d love and we’re trying so hard to get more time. It’s a three hour Raw and you can’t give more time to the Divas? But, hopefully in the future.”"
How can you blame Brie Bella for making this statement? She has arguably had the strangest booking from the Creative team with the program she’s been in with her sister since last August.
These comments indicate that there’s some unhappiness in the locker room about how NXT is treated. That could be tied to the report from over the weekend that the main roster talent was upset over the great treatment that NXT stars receive.
During the NXT TakeOver live specials, the women’s matches usually receive at least ten minutes. I can’t remember the last main roster Divas match that lasted ten minutes on a pay-per-view or on Raw and SmackDown.
The next big Divas match is at this Sunday’s WWE Fastlane PPV that will feature Nikki Bella vs. Paige for the Divas Championship. While these two women are very talented, we haven’t had much of a reason to care for this feud, so expect this to be the shortest match on the card. The Divas won’t be getting their way any time soon, unfortunately.
