The problem is, fans believe WWE wants to wipe her from the history books because of her husband. That's a ridiculous theory. Nikki is champion right now because there's no one else who could hold that title besides Paige. AJ was clearly the most popular diva with the higher ups, some of you are just delusional.
This whole theory proves how stupid some wrestling fans are. It's simple, WWE doesn't care about wiping some chick who doesn't even matter anymore from the history books.
I think some fans have a reason to question it. Vince McMahon is known for being extremely petty in some cases and holds a grudge for a long time.
The Diva's title is probably up until now the one title no one cares very much about. Now they could be giving Nikki the record, because as you say, she might be the only one who can hold it and give it some relevance. Or they might be using her to break the record.
The bottom line is who knows and who really cares, but they keep mentioning it a lot when Nikki is around. Now I can't remember that far back, and did they mention it when AJ broke the record?
Now that we have some new Diva's maybe the division won't suck as much as it did. And it will be up to the Bella's since some people think they are so great, to be able to keep up with the likes of Charlotte and Sasha. I'm thinking that some hard and fast lessons will have to be learned, or they will be left behind. The other night Brie Bella was clearly the weakest in that ring, out of the three. And the other two were fresh out of development.
