Everything you just said there is fantasy booking.. You know damn well Paige isn't winning the belt anytime soon.. Nikki probably ain't dropping the title for months, and last night proved they're not done with The Bellas as champs.. Putting the belt on Paige would be redundant. There's no reason for it.
Who is next to challenge Nikki Bella??

Nikki will not lose until she breaks AJ Lee's women's title reign record. You really think AJ Lee is going to get to stay the longest reigning womens champ of all time? By that time they will have introduced the next crop of NXT girls. With the Bella's as bad guys again I could see 2 or 3 of the NXT divas being brought up, and Nikki saying she's beaten everyone and they need to earn the right to face her. THis will lead ot the newly trained Eva Marie, Charlotte, Sasha up on the main roster battling with the current divas to earn credibility before the eventual Nikki loss.
I'm going to go with Charlotte in about 2 and a half months when Nikki passes 295 days

Does it matter? Are they going to win? This is the problem with constantly flipping your talent face and heel - challengers become meaningless. Bella's were heel at mania, turned face when both AJ and Paige were gone and are now apparently turning heel again since they are using twin magic. All that in what, 4 months? wwe could have used AJ and Paige not being there to introduce a new face talent or really push someone new. Instead they turned the Bella's face and put them in a useless feud with generic heels. They want to keep them on top of everyone else no matter what so who cares who is next? Are they going to get so over with the crowd that wwe is suddenly going to change their booking? Kind of like Paige? Or worse, they do bring someone in and they push them way too hard like they did with Reigns and the crowd rejects them. Don't think they will run back to the Bella's if that happens? I feel sorry for who ever is next because win or lose, they are in for a tough road.
You say 'fantasy booking' like it's some negative thing. Anytime you predict a story, you're guilty of fantasy booking. You saying that Nikky is going to have the title for a long time would qualify as well... Again, it's not a negative thing to do fantasy booking.
But I'm going to repeat what I said. Paige made a statement by calling out the entire divas roster. You don't do that without a payoff in mind. When Paige called out the divas, and they ignored it, they all looked weak in the process - they looked like cowards. There are only two ways for them not to look like cowards moving forward:
1) They could all turn on Paige. This is unlikely because it would lead to multiple programs within the division, one of which wouldn't revolve around the divas belt. And the WWE NEVER has multiple divas angles going at once.
2) They all stand up to the Bellas... Doing so would propel Paige to the title.
Keep in mind - if they all look weak, then it's a bad thing for the division.

As of right now, Paige is the only strong babyface among the Divas. Hell, in all honesty, she's really the only fully fledged babyface among the Divas; however, that might change by next week if Vince decides to spontaneously turn the Bella Twins from heels to faces again.
The notion of Paige trying to rally the Divas to combat the Bella Twins is something different; I mean...well, it's an actual story that has some potential to it. It's a definite step up from Paige's initial feud with the Bella Twins ultimately revolving around antics you'd see in some Disney themed teen film where the mean, popular girls are picking on the outcast.
Off the top of my head, I could see something of a fully fledged war break out between the Divas with some siding with the Bella Twins while others side with Paige. It's something with potential, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up because there's a much better likelihood of Vince turning the entire thing into some "sports entertainment" bit.

Nattie needs to appear at some point. She has been in the title scene and deserves a long match with Nikki. It would probably be Nikki's best.
They must be setting up Charlotte's debut. It just seems to obvious. Maybe Nikki does break AJ's record but they are running out of options. Another Paige match would be tedious and it doesn't seem Natalya is around.
I reckon they go with Charlotte/Nikki at Summerslam and have Charlotte win. Thereafter, they can slowly bring up the other NXT women and go about fixing the division.

I like that idea and now that it's been mentioned, it does fit with Paige becoming an outsider among her peers on the main roster. I doubt WWE will bring up too many of the NXT girls at one time.....to do so would deplete the NXT roster, for one thing.....but Paige needs to become the leader of only two gals to make an impact, going after all those who spurned her last night.
Failing a Paige-led revolution, I would love to see Natalya get a shot at Nikki Bella. It's been a damn shame to have a diva who can actually wrestle taking up space on the roster while having more to do with the stupid diva show than performing in the ring. Also, since accompanying her husband and his partner to the ring in their tag team efforts has come to an end, I think it would be a terrific time to see her win the diva title.
Do I think it will happen? No, but I sure wish it would.

I'm pretty angry that WWE didn't pull the trigger with Naomi.... she's faded away at this point and we're left with, you guessed it, 2 viable Diva's in the division once again. I'm shaking my head at WWE Creative right now. They had a chance to build a great program out of Paige, Nikki, Brie, Naomi, and Tamina but now we get the same old, Paige chases Nikki and eventually wins title followed by Nikki rematch for three months.
Hopefully we can see this current program with Paige lead to some NXT call-ups followed by a Paige/Charlotte or Paige/Sasha feud for the title and I can eat my words.
