#2 Nikki Bella
This time last year, I would never have put Bella anywhere near this list. However, recently, I find that I thoroughly enjoy her feud with Carmella. While I hate seeing Superstars injured, it is apparent that Bella has been doing her homework in the several months she was away from the ring.
Bella’s ring work looks so much better compared to last year. The tension between her and Carmella sells the feud, and this is a good example of not having to be in the Championship picture just to be a focal point on the show.
Bella will more than likely be Smackdown Women’s Champion, sometime within this next year. I was pretty vocal about her Divas Championship reign, but if Bella continues this run, then I would probably sing a different tune. Bella has clearly been putting in the effort inside the ring, living up to the accomplishments she has gotten over time.
