10 WWE Diva 'Prospects' Training at NXT

[Brandon]

Could something big — or Diva Search-like — be looming?

A group of 10 Diva "prospects" have completed four weeks of training at WWE's developmental territory, NXT, according to their various Twitters.

We already know WWE held auditions for wannabe Divas in Los Angeles last month, and then there was a tweet from Reby Sky revealing that the company had recruited the girls from modeling agencies.

The ladies, ranging from models, aspiring actresses and dancers, certainly fit the Diva mold, but what the training consisted of, along with just what they are training for, is unknown at this time.

It appears, however, that the potential Divas worked with NXT's head female trainer Sara Del Rey and were given some words of wisdom last night from former WWE Diva Eve Torres, who, as previously reported, visited the developmental camp.

Among the prospects are model Natalia Eva Marie, whose Twitter bio describes her as a "2012 Powertec Fashion Model Winner." She thanked Eve for her "amazing insight" during the three-time Divas Champion's visit to NXT.

Natalia wrote: "Thank u so much to the stunning @evemarietorres for all ur amazing insight tonight....u truly are such an inspiration! Truly feel grateful for the opportunity to sit and chat with u? #WWE #DIVA #grateful #blessed (sic)."

Meanwhile, another prospect "print and commercial model" Olivia Karpinski posted a picture, presumably taken last night, of the 10 Diva hopefuls along with Eve and Del Rey on Instagram.

Another hopeful, Erika Hammond, indicated on Twitter yesterday that it was the "last day of Diva training", while Natalia added: "Seriously feeling so #grateful at this moment in route to a closing dinner w/ my fellow #divas after weeks of training like #beasts (sic)."

Other prospects, based on what we can piece together from Twitter include: Aimee Fogelman, self-described singer and dancer Joseann Offerman, "official Red Bull spokesmodel" CJ Perry, Courtney Camero aka Jaguar from VH1's 'For the Love of Ray-J 2', athlete Maysa Quy and Jennifer Sterger.

It's rare that WWE would bring in a group of 10 unsigned females for a month-long training course. Unless they have something planned? 10 is a pretty round number — enough to fill, say, a Diva Search contest? And if the ladies have had a four week crash course in the ring, it would give them a leg-up over their past Diva Search counterparts. Or could this just be a four week "internship" to select talents to sign to developmental deals?

Interesting times in the world of WWE Divas!

They all look basic.

The only reason the E bothers anymore is so they can say they have a Women's Division.

Given the not insignificant amount of attractive yet actually talented women on the indy circuit, it's pretty disappointing that they almost solely bother with pure models. It's past the point where one can even argue that they are looking for the "Next Trish Stratus." Anyone far up in the biz should have realized by now that she was hardly typical and reaching forever for another Trish is not an efficient path.

It's admittedly difficult to tell without further research. But yeah just going on that while they are a nice looking group I don't see an apparent Maryse level person among them.

Surprised the barefoot one with glasses didn't have a ponytail to complete the look. And the one in white with Eve looks like the missing link between her and the Bellas.

Edit: Oh that's SDR...........

I don't even care about this article, but the way you laid it out is so pretty.

I don't know if it's been a thing recently but they definitely used to bring in groups of girls to developmental all the time; most of them just never see the light of day. Jillian said in her shoot that Melina came in with a bunch of girls but was the only one that opted to stick at it in the end, and Melina's said in an interview she was brought in with loads of models and that she doesn't think her wrestling experience really had much of a baring on her signing. And Krissy Vaine said that when she was in developmental they'd bring in groups quite often who couldn't hack it because they're not prepared for the physicality of it all. Dunno if it's been as big as ten but still.

I wouldn't say no to another Diva Search though, just for fun.

I know I've been saying the same thing, I just wanted to drag these identical brunette bitches.

The blonde at the front is definitely the cutest imo.
