User blog:CEDJunior/Push Aksana!

I read recently that the powers that be in WWE are high on Aksana. From what I've seen, it sure as hell doesn't seem like it. I actually consider Aksana my favorite Diva on the current roster; I really do. It wasn't always the case, though. When she made her main roster debut on SmackDown on August 5, 2011, the question that came to my mind was, "What the hell were they thinking?!" I watched her on the all-Diva season of NXT with Maxine, Kaitlyn, Naomi, and AJ Lee, and I thought that after Kaitlyn and AJ, either Maxine or Naomi would be next; mainly due to the fact that each of their in-ring abilities were superior to Aksana's. So Aksana's call up was a shock to me. However, after watching her in the ring a few times, my views changed. She's pretty good in the ring and she has improved as the time has gone by.

Of course, as you know, Aksana began as a babyface, but became a villainess shortly after WrestleMania 28 by becoming the girlfriend/valet of Antonio Cesaro. A fellow wrestling fan told me that WWE should have never separated Cesaro and Aksana, but I had mixed feelings about the pairing. As much as I loved seeing Aksana look sexy and evil, I also felt she should be doing more.

I felt (and still feel) that Aksana's highest moment came when she was revealed as the culprit who attacked Kaitlyn at Night of Champions, under the orders of the evil Eve Torres. I still remember watching Survivor Series and seeing Aksana attack Kaitlyn again, and loving what I saw. To me, Aksana's heel character got a huge boost. She was originally portrayed as a wicked seductress, but in that moment, she became a ruthless woman with a killer mentality. I actually thought that this newfound darker side to her character would lead a huge push for Aksana, most likely with a run as Divas Champion. Sadly, with the next Survivor Series two weeks away, I've been wrong.

Since her big breakout heel moment, the evil Aksana has been reduced to jobbing to pretty much everyone. In fact, the only time I and other Diva fans ever see her is when she's getting beat up by Kaitlyn. In the last few months, Aksana has been relegated to jobbing to the Total Divas. So with all of this, I ask this question. Where does the part where WWE is high on Aksana enter? Because from what I've seen, she has nowhere to go but up. Aksana has too much talent and way too much personality to be stuck in this terrible position. I'm a near devout optimist, so I believe Aksana's stock will eventually rise and we will see her holding the Divas Championship soon; probably some time in 2014. Like will all things WWE, we just have to be patient.
