Recently Angelina Love said one of the main difference between the Knockouts and Divas is that the Knockouts all have different gimmicks, giving the fans something different to look forward to regarding each Knockout.
With that being said, it's obvious that the Divas are lacking in gimmicks. It's just generic women who do the same sorta thing. You have the standard babyface (e.g Maria), and then you have the standard heel (e.g Maryse).
Why the WWE let Cherry go, who had a gimmick and was over with the fans is beyond me, while generic Divas who get no reaction stay on the roster.
So, here is your chance to do what the WWE Creative Team can't. Give a Diva a gimmick. Prehaps how they would come about this change, any new moves, attire and down to music.
I'll do mine.
Maria - Now she is set in stone as a babyface. So we'll keep her that way. Her as a heel wouldn't go, well, not yet anyway. She needs drastic work on her in-ring ability, so backstage wise I'd pair her up if at all possible with either Molly Holly, or Trish Stratus. Either of these 2 would be perfect to pass on some of their tricks of the trade, and they could teach her more about selling a match.
Move-set wise I'd give her a better finisher. Something that is out of the blue, more technical than anything else, as something like a power finisher dosen't suit her. I think Billy Gunn's finisher was the Fameasser if I'm correct? I'd give her that. Simple yet effective.
Music wise she's ok. Attire wise she's fine. Now as for gimmick wise, everyone knows she designs a lot of her own clothes. So, why not give her a fashion person gimmick? I know it's not great but this is off the top of my head. It can give her an arrogance to herself to help her step away from the babyface roles at times, yet still keeps her a face. Sort of an arrogant face, she could be that. Use something simple. Bret Hart used to give out thousands of glasses during his entrances over the years, have Maria do the same.
The colour of the glasses would have to change depending on her colour of outfit obviously, but to make them hers have a logo on the glasses in the corner or something.
I know it isn't great, but this is off the top of my head.
