NXT Women's Champion Paige

Saraya-Jade Bevis aka Britani Knight aka the current NXT Women's Champion...Paige.
Yeah I know it's not been that long since I did anything on her, but I would really rather focus on women that actually know how to wrestle as opposed to the ones that...well you know...don't.

In case you may have missed it, Paige is part of a British wrestling family that rivals the Hart Dynasty.
Her mom is Sweet Saraya (former Shimmer Champion among other titles), her dad is Ricky Knight (a well known wrestler turned promoter), and her older brothers Roy (Zebra Kid) and Zak (Zak Zodiac) are both professional wrestlers.

Before ever getting to the WWE Paige held a lot of titles.
She was the German Stampede Wrestling Ladies Champion, she held the Herts & Essex Wrestling Women's Championship (twice), she held the Premier Wrestling Federation Ladies Tag Team Championship with her mom, she held the Pro-Wrestling: EVE Championship, the Real Deal Wrestling Women's Championship, the Swiss Championship Wrestling Ladies Championship, the World Association of Women's Wrestling British Tag Team Championship and the WAWW Ladies Hardcore Championship and the World Association of Wrestling British Ladies Championship.

Not just another pretty face by any means.

Melina Versus Alicia Fox at Summer Slam

Melina trashes Alicia - http://www.wwe.com/

You probably already know that the SummerSlam WWE ppv is August 15, 2010 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Among the featured wrestling matches will be a Divas match for the WWE Divas Championship between Melina (the challenger) and Alicia Fox (the champion).
This will be the first time this title has been defended at Summer Slam.

Thank God.

Maybe the WWE will end this farce and put the belt back into the hands of an actual wrestler.
The only thing I have against this match is the lack of build up.
Melina returned to the WWE on August 2nd on RAW, jumped Alicia and now she already has a title shot.
Less than two weeks build up?
I know Melina is a fan favorite, and she has the skills, mike and in ring.
But shouldn’t they have aimed for a bit more of a build up?
I guess I am just spoiled from "back in the day" when feuds had months of build up.

UPDATE:
Well the WWE did give Melina the WWE Diva's belt as she beat Alicia Fox at last night's SummerSlam.
Best part of the match to me:
It looks like Melina injures her knee early in the match...so Alicia goes to work on her arm.
Brilliant!

And afterwards, Team Lay-Cool interrupted Melina's victory celebration with a one sided beat down.
