WWE Diva Layla El Retires

The WWE announced today that after nine years with the promotion, Layla El is retiring.
I'm gonna miss the Diva that I have always thought was one of the most beautiful women to step into a WWE ring.

WWE Diva Layla is a Valet Now

WWE Diva Layla El who has been the WWE Divas Champion and the WWE Women's Champion is now the valet of Fandango.
Hey, she's only been with the WWE since 2006 and can actually wrestle.
Why not just make her eye-candy.
Right?

WWE SmackDown Results - No Divas Matches

Layla and Alicia Fox vs. The Funkadactyls - WWE Main Event

The Funkadactyls (Naomi and Cameron) took on Layla and Alicia Fox on WWE Main Event this week....and there was no mention at all of Layla even having been gone.
And she was on the losing end of the match.
Not really good signs for the returning Diva.

 

Is Kaitlyn The Next WWE Divas Champion?

On the November 12th episode of Raw Monday night, Kaitlyn defeated Layla to become the number one contender for the divas title against Eve at the Survivor Series pay-per-view.

How do I feel about that?
I seriously dont know.
I love Kaitlyn and I think half the internet does (the half that doesn't love AJ Lee that is) and I love Layla too.
But right now besides Eve, Kaitlyn and Layla, all we have is AJ, Aksana, Alicia Fox, Natalya, Rosa Mendes (Who's pretty much just a valet now) and Tamina Snuka (recovering from a back injury).
So I guess Kaitlyn is as good as any Diva right now.

Except for Natalya who should be Champ...but hey.....

Goodbye Michelle McCool, Hello Kharma

Isn't it kinda strange when the WWE Extreme Rules PPV has a better Divas match than Wrestlemania?
Yeah I thought so too.
I have to admit, I think Michelle McCool and Layla really brought it in their "Loser Leaves the WWE" match.
It was a better match than I expected.



I'm not gonna change here and say that I'll miss Michelle McCool or that she was the greatest Diva the WWE ever had.
But she did come a long way from the 2004 WWE Diva Search.
Michelle held both the WWE Divas Championship twice and the WWE Women's Championship twice.
And LayCool was arguably one of the best ideas the WWE had for Divas recently....and was no way inspired by TNA's The Beautiful People.
::cough::

Is she gone "forever"?
Maybe.
With the Undertaker being seen less and less, I doubt he wants his wife pulling the grueling schedule that the WWE superstars do.
I would imagine he would want her to stay home.
Plus, there is that recently revealed foot injury to content with.

On a high note, we did get to see the appearance of Kia Stevens, aka Awesome Kong aka Kharma.
(You know I kinda got excited when I heard "Kharma" was coming to the WWE, I thought it was Jennifer Thomas)
Kharma got to come in, do the "Monster Heel" bit, demolish Michelle and scare the crap out of the other WWE Divas.

Please WWE, do a Brock Lesnar with Kia.
Have her do some run ins and crush some Divas (The Bellas, Kelly, Eve) before she really gets a storyline going.
You could do Gail versus Kharma (ala TNA) or do what I think most of the fans want, Beth Phoenix and Kharma.

Gail Kim to Return at Wrestlemania 25 ?

Well the WWE Wrestlemania 25 women's wrestling event may be a disappointment to some.
A lot of fans were looking forward to at least one good singles match, but they are having a 25 Diva Battle Royal.
How can they have a 25 Diva Battle Royal?
The WWE doesn't even have 25 Divas do they?
Nope, but they are calling up the reserves.
This could be as much fun for the female wrestling fans as a Legends Battle Royal

The list goes like this, but I already see one possible exception.

1. Beth Phoenix
2. Candice Michelle (recently injured her ankle, expected to be out till April, will she make it?)
3. Jillian Hall
4. Kelly Kelly
5. Layla
6. Melina
7. Mickie James
8. Rosa Mendes
9. Brie Bella
10. Eve
11. Maria
12. Maryse
13. Michelle McCool
14. Nikki Bella
15. Alicia Fox
16. Katie Lea Burchill
17. Natalya
18. Tiffany

Now the other participants are up in the air, but rumors include.....

Trish Stratus
Lita
Torrie Wilson
Victoria
Jackie Gayda (Jackie Gayda-Haas)
And the return of Gail Kim.

Of course this is the perfect time to bring Gail back in, have her win the match and be declared the new number one challenger.
Remember the first battle royal Gail was in?

I have to admit, I think Mr.McMahon came up with a good idea this time.
This will give all the Divas some Wrestlemania time.

WWE Diva Layla

WWE Diva Layla hasn't really done much lately except hang around William Regal.
And did they drop the "Layla London" gimmick?
I noticed on her page at WWE.com she's referred to as Layla and Layla El.
Outside of the wrestling ring, Layla, along with Beth Phoenix and Candice Michelle, appeared in the February 2009 issue of FLEX Magazine.
And I still say Layla is one of the prettiest WWE divas out there.
I just wish they'd get her some more training and get her in the ring more.
Yes I know if all the Divas actually wrestled each week they wouldn't have time for anything else.
Or the WWE would have to create another show just for all the divas, kinda like "WWE GLOW".
Which I would have no problem with......

The WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 Divas

Here are all the WWE Divas that are in the new WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 video game....

From WWE Raw: Ashley, Beth Phoenix, Candice, Jillian, Kelly Kelly, Layla, Melina and Mickie James
And from WWE SmackDown: Maria, Michelle McCool and Victoria
And your standard non-playable characters: Lilian Garcia and Stephanie McMahon.

I thought including Ashley was unusual, but maybe at the time the game was being developed she was still on the roster.
Or maybe she was included because she's still very popular.
And who knows, one day we may get a WWE game that has a "Women's Wrestling Legends" section.
I would think though that it would be a bit too soon to include Moolah and Sherri Martel.
But imagine having Mad Maxine, Wendi Richter, Debbie Combs, Leilani Kai, Missy Hyatt, Rockin' Robin, Heidi Lee Morgan, Alundra Blayze, Tammy Lynn Sytch, Luna Vachon and Tori as unlockable characters.
But I guess that would be a whole different game huh?
Maybe "WWE SmackDown vs. Raw: Divas Edition" ?

WWE Diva - Layla El

The newest WWE Diva, Layla, may have to cut short some of her financial comfort zone if she wants to stay on with the WWE. It is learned that if Layla plans to extend her stay with WWE, a 20% cut from her usual $250,000 salary must be made. Not pretty figures for a diva winner who is now in a bind.

Layla would do well to gather more time enhancing her career with WWE before jumping ship to explore other offers. For one thing, other companies may not pay her good money just yet considering she is not even in the caliber of Melina or Candice Michelle who have built on their character and names as part of the wrestling business.

Additionally, Layla has nothing to show other than being the latest WWE Diva winner. But many other companies would wonder what impact she would have on their companies like TNA when in fact they already have their share of pretty faces in their fold.

From what it looks at the moment, it seems the best bet is for Layla to hang on for the time being before planning a quick shift in her career. She has yet to be considered among the top divas of the WWE and acting on impulse may jeopardize her career. Who knows, 2007 may be a breakout year for Layla. After making the needed impact, her value is sure to rise. She just needs to look at other diva winners and where they are now.
