Monday Night Raw Divas Battle Royal

On Monday Night Raw this Monday, Brie Bella won a Divas Battle Royal to become the new number one contender to the WWE Divas Title.
Alicia got tossed out first, then Tamina, then Natalya and Melina eliminated each other, then Maryse went out, then Nikki and Brie comes out from underneath the ring to toss Gail Kim out and win.
Eve (who was on comentary) sees this and goes after Brie.
But Nikki was still there and they both start a beatdown on Eve till the refs pull them apart.

So it looks like the big WWE Divas Championship rivalry will be Eve and Brie.
Yay.

Why Isn't Maryse Wrestling?

One of the most popular women on this blog is WWE Diva Maryse.
Okay, she's THE most popular woman here, so why isn't the WWE doing anything with her?
Did she make the higher ups mad?
Is she injured?
Why is the former two time holder of the WWE Divas Championship regulated to little more than Ted DiBiase's valet?

Is this the best we're gonna get from "The Sultry Diva" now?



Yeah I know, when did I suddenly care when one of the "models turned wrestler" isn't involved in competition?
But as I have stated before Maryse, Michelle McCool and Kelly have worked on their ring skills.
And even if she's not one of the best wrestlers the WWE has, she is a really good heel.

Aloisia's Replacement - Kaitlyn

Here's the replacement for the giant Aloisia, Kaitlyn, also known as Celeste Bonin or Ricki Vaughn
I'll be interested to see how she does in the ring.
She seems to be doing pretty well with her character so far.
And the internet seems to like her.

Speaking of Aloisia, The Bleacher Report has an interview up with her that you can see here

WWE NXT Goes FCW Divas

It looks like the WWE will finally have an all female wrestling show.
Kinda.
Season 3 of WWE NXT will be all FCW Divas.
Allegedly SyFy was ready to pull the plug on the show because it was getting lower ratings than ECW had during it's run.
But someone figured out.....
"Hey...let's use beautiful women!"
Wow, you guys are quick.

Okay I'll stop complaining and take a look at the FCW Divas that will be competing...


Without a doubt, the Diva that's gonna attract the most attention is Aloisia, who you may know from the Indy wrestling promotions as Isis the Amazon.
Yes this woman lives up to that name at six foot nine.
Yes...six...foot...nine.
Even if she doesn't win the competition, I expect the WWE to pull a "Diva Search" and hire her anyway.

UPDATE: It looks like Aloisia has been removed from the line up.

The NXT ring announcer Jamie Keyes will be stepping into the ring as well.
Jamie's real name is Brittany Beede and she was born on December 31st, 1984 in Saraosota, Florida.

AJ Lee's real name is April Jeanette, and she was born on March 19, 1987 in Union City, New Jersey.
She has held the Queen of FCW title in Florida Championship Wrestling.


Next up is Aksana who is Lithuanian fitness model, bodybuilder Zivile Raudoniene.
Aksana was born on April 29, 1982 in Lithuania.
This five foot five, one hundred and thirty pound competitor has had first place finishes at the 2006 NPC Metropolitan, the NPC Pittsburgh, the 2007 IFBB New York Pro and the 2009 Arnold Classic.


Naomi Night's real name is Trinity McCray, and she too has held the Queen of FCW title.
Before wrestling, Naomi was a cheerleader with the Orlando Magic.
The WWE signed her in 2009.

Maxine, formerly known as Liviana in FCW (Karlee Perez), will also be competing.

You can see the NXT Divas being introduced by their pros here

It looks like this will be the last cycle of NXT unless the numbers go way up.

UPDATE: Since Aloisia is gone, will we get Ricki Vaughn or Christina Fox to replace her?

Wrestling Rumors and News - Sable, Mickie James, Michelle McCool and More....

Two former WWE divas have cleared the 90 day no-compete clauses on their contracts and should be able to work for other wrestling promotions.

One is Katie Lea Burchill.
This young lady is beautiful and talented and needs to be in a ring.
If TNA would treat their Knockouts right, I'd say she would be a great fit there.

And Mickie James has cleared her 90 day mark, but I thought she had already been wrestling for the World Wrestling Council (WWC), one Puerto Rico's two main professional wrestling promotions.
Maybe the clause only applies to the continental US.

Speaking of former WWE Divas, former WWE Diva Torrie Wilson turned 35 on July 24th.
Happy (Late) Birthday Torrie!

And another former WWE Diva and Women's Champion Rena Mero (Sable) gave birth to a nine pound boy this past Wednesday (7-21-2010), according to www.renamerofans.com.
This is her second child with husband Brock Lesnar, and her third total.


St. Augustine.com has an article and interview up with WWE Diva Michelle McCool...

Michelle McCool is a Diva, but only to the rest of the world.
"My life's not really completely different," McCool said.
The 30-year-old Palatka native, known internationally as half of the reigning WWE Women's Champion team and a WWE Diva, said it's hard for her to see the celebrity others see in her.

As part of the SummerSlam promo, 7-Eleven will be issuing five collectible Super Big Gulp fountain drink cups, and one of them will feature WWE Diva Eve.
Eve?
Interesting.

Alex Marvez has an article and interview up with former TNA Knockout ODB / Jessie Kresa...

TNA Wrestling's "Knockout" division doesn't have the same punch without Jessie "ODB" Kresa.
A three-time TNA women's champion, Kresa was released in June. Kresa was one of the company's top female performers from 2007 to 2009. But her saucy character -- ODB's in-ring antics could make even Roseanne Barr in her prime blush -- and public outspokenness about storyline direction caused Kresa to fall out of favor with the new Eric Bischoff/Hulk Hogan management regime.

And finally, a really good article over at The Bleacher Report by Tom Clark about the state of women's wrestling in the WWE and TNA...

Women's Wrestling: WWE and TNA's Lack of Focus

Women‘s wrestling. At one time considered a novelty act in the business, women’s wrestling over the last 10 years has evolved into a more legitimate part of the sport.
Once, fans turned the channel when the women’s match started. But thanks to a handful of standouts in the women’s division, fans instead began tuning in.

Wrestling Rumors and News - Maryse, Mickie James, Michelle McCool and more

WWE Divas Maryse, Eve Torres, and Michelle McCool are featured in a photoshoot in the new Muscle & Fitness magazine that you can see pictures from here.

What?
No Lay-Cool photo shoot?

When she left the WWE, I thought Mickie James was changing from wrestling to her musical career, but it looks like she's gonna keep a foot in the ring as she will be making appearances for the wrestling promotions World Wrestling Council (WWC), Maryland Championship Wrestling (MCW) and International Wrestling Cartel (IWC).

Speaking of released WWE Divas, you probably already know that the WWE released NXT season announcer and WWE Diva Savannah (Angela Fong).
The reason is allegedly because she messed up her lines on RAW while interviewing Wade Barrett.
Boy, it doesn't take a lot for a Diva to get released does it?
Remember when Maria screwed up during an interview and it was worked into her character?

AJ Lee (April Jeanette, a developmental wrestler from Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW)) has been taking on the role of hostess at a few recent WWE events.
So maybe AJ is getting ready to move up in the ranks?

And in female wrestling news NOT related to WWE, former TNA Knockout Sojo Bolt (Josette Bynum) appeared on Wrestlicious Takedown Saturday as CoCo Montego.
She teamed up with Marley (Daizee Haize) to take on Naughty Girls (Portia Perez and Nicole Matthews).
