10 worst championship reigns in WWE from the 2010s

#6) Nikki Bella – Divas Championship

We’re sticking with the women for our next entry, with this one taking place back in April 2012. Now while some fans may choose to hate on Nikki Bella we actually think she’s had a few solid tenures as champion, but this wasn’t one of them with one of the main points of contention being that she captured the belt from the dominant Beth Phoenix.

Plus, she held onto the title for less than a week before Layla of all people won it from her. Look, we all know that this was a bad time for the women in WWE as they clearly weren’t getting much respect, but this kind of title change may well have been the cherry on top.

Side note: we’d honestly love it if either one of these women returned in the upcoming 30-woman Royal Rumble match.
