WWE: 10 New Names for Team PCB
Idea #6 – Leg-o-land
In the tradition of Stacy Keibler, shout out to the legs of all three ladies. Each Diva uses their legs to their advantage in the ring. Paige throws a barrage of kicks at her opponents, Charlotte’s Figure Eight finisher uses her legs to cause a submission while rubbing in how much better shape she is in than the rest of the Earth’s population, and Becky is a fierce kicker herself whose moveset includes a standing leg drop. Throw in a PG-friendly name and the kids will be running to Target (with their legs) to complete their WWE Leg-o-land collection. This name could be best for business.

Idea #7 – Three Queens
This may fit better as WWE’s first cross-dressing tag team (if only Adrian Adonis had a tag partner), but the queen theme could fit well with PCB. The stream of consciousness for this name is a cousin to the “Paige and The Pips” logic.
Paige is from Britain and Britain has a queen. Check.
Charlotte is from the Queen City. Check.
Britain is sort of like Ireland. Becky is from Ireland. Check. (Ok – two out of three ain’t bad, if I’m allowed to use ain’t in a sentence.)
Outside of WWE, from what I read online before becoming bored, the Three Queens are also the names of three ships from the UK. In pop culture, Three Queens was the title of an episode from the CW show Reign. So if one CW show can feature an actor wrestling Stardust at Summerslam, why can’t a second CW show lend an episode title to a current female faction? All of a sudden the CW could be the top generator of pop culture crossover for WWE.
Idea #8 – The Three Trumpeteers (or Trump-eteers)
With this name we could do two things:
1) Repackage all three women as international band geeks who march down to the ring with brass instruments and begin every promo with “Well, it’s like this: this one time at band camp…”
2) Assign Donald Trump aka “The Donald” as the group’s mouthpiece. While it would set the Divas Revolution back to the American Revolution, how much would you pay for Eden or Lillian to announce, “Led to the ring by Donald Trump…” And you could develop a story line where Ric Flair doesn’t approve of the direction he’s taking the group, so like a parent standing up to a sleazy manager, he confronts The Donald on Raw leading to another AARP presence at Wrestlemania. Remember Battle of the Billionaires?
Charlotte would represent her father Ric while Trump hires Brian Kendrick to rush-train his daughter Ivanka like she was Eva Marie. It’s Daughter vs daughter! For only $9.99!
