Cameron believes modern women’s wrestling has raised the bar inside the ring, but feels some of the sex appeal associated with WWE’s Divas era is missing.

Speaking on the Lay Talk Podcast with Layla El, the former WWE star praised today’s female wrestlers while suggesting there is room to combine their wrestling ability with more of the presentation that defined her generation.

“You know what’s missing? It’s because I do think there was a standard that got higher, and I think the girls can kick ass. But what’s missing is what made the girls Divas. If people want to watch MMA, they’re going to watch MMA, right? But I feel like that’s what’s missing: that sex appeal. Guys, respectfully, want to see a little ass. But I think it’s dope for girls to show a little ass and be able to kick ass. This is what’s missing. Am I wrong? I don’t know.”

Layla understood Cameron’s point, although she highlighted the balancing act facing women in wrestling today. With audiences now expecting strong in-ring performances, she suggested that combining both elements can be difficult.

“I absolutely get what you’re saying and stuff like that. But the thing is, they’re in a difficult situation because they want to be sexy, but the audience has now adapted to them being hardcore wrestlers who kick ass. So it’s a really thin line for them. Chelsea Green, I think, hits it.”

Green was the name Layla singled out as someone who strikes that balance, offering an example of how both approaches can fit into modern wrestling.
