We’ve got your first look at tonight’s SmackDown, which features Gail Kim taking on Michelle McCool. Contrary to a rumor earlier this week, this match is not a #1 contendership match – just a plain old one-on-one bout:

i definitely looveddddd this match. michelle is really impressing me these days and gail kim doesn’t fail to put on a great show.
my only problem with this match is when michelle goes for the kick to gail’s head on the barricade outside the ring. howcome when she does that move to maria and eve, they are both knocked out and are “too injured” to come on smackdown for 2-3 weeks but when she does it to gail, gail can just get back up and deliver offense and win the match? lol. just saying!
amazing match!!! cant wait to see maryse thrown into the mix and whoever else comes to smackdown! and please let gail kim talk so she doesnt become that silent diva with no personality!!!
I think he would have to give best to Gail Kim matches, matches to gain more teams i have the opportunity to dispute the Divas Championship, as it surely will be the next champion
I liked the match but I have a few problems with it. Firstly Maryse took that leg jawbreaker better last week then Michelle did as you could see the huge gap between them. Also the match was too short for these two. They could have had a longer match. Lastly there were a few mistakes made during the match. I loved the match but it could have been better.
I simply love Gail but i think its to soon to get the title away from maryse i mean she hasnt had an actual lenghty feud for the Title so they should at least give her 2 more feuds before she drops it. I think Michelle is really good but her selling is a little of in this match so yea i enjoyed it.
Wow, Gail doesn’t sell for sh*t.
pretty good match.
some really good spots
that jawbreaker looked very bad though “/
and i didnt like the ending.
it was too anti-clamatic.
wonder where they go from here
Cutting away to show Maryse backstage snickering at them was my favorite part. That’s how interesting this match was to me.
Hopefully, Mickie gets drafted to Smackdown because she would fit Gail’s spot better than Gail does. I’d like Mickie, Gail, Maria, and Eve as Smackdown’s babyfaces.
I’m with ChrisP on this one. I wasn’t feeling this match one bit. It seemed so slow and sloppy. And that jawbreaker… don’t even get me started. I’ll chalk it up to poor chemistry, as Maryse looked really good against Gail. Hopefully this is the last time we have to see them face-off.
Luis-Angel this leads me to believe that Maryse is staying on Smackdown, Gail Kim is staying on Smackdown, but McCool is going to Raw. She has gone against both Divas now (Maryse hundreds of times, Gail several times), she doesn’t have the Divas Championship any longer, and the way that the WWE portrayed Maryse when she was backstage looking at the match between both Michelle and Gail was that she was watching them. Well, I do not see Michelle sticking to that home of Smackdown anylonger, I definitely see Gail staying on Smackdown and eventually winning the belt from Maryse who I believe will stay on Smackdown as well. The chemistry between both Michelle and Maryse has gotten boring to a lot of viewers (including myself) since it’s two heels going after each other. I believe that-that was apart of Michelle’s fair-well on Smackdown. She’s taken on Maryse, she’s taken on Gail, but Maryse has not taken on Gail, so for the WWE to move Maryse to Raw with so many un-answered questions doesn’t seem likely what-so-ever. I see McCool going onto Raw, possibly winning the Women’s Championship (which I honestly think she deserves) and Gail and Maryse staying put on Smackdown, so that their current ‘fued’ can get more fire. At this point, to move Maryse the women with the gold off of her home (Smackdown) it would leave Gail useless. Especially, since Mickie will probably go to Smackdown, and Candice Michelle will probably going to Smackdown. The fued between Maryse and Michelle is over, the fued with Gail and Maryse has just begun and I believe that in dues time Gail sha’ll become Divas Champion, but probably lose to none other than Maryse who will probably than lose it to either Mickie, or Candice. With Maryse probably sticking to her routine as the ‘top heel Diva over on Smackdown’ I’m more than certain that she will lose her championship, but she will win it back in numerous fueds which will definitely be interesting.
you know what MaryseFan2009 i agree with you
now that you mention it ur rite Maryse and Michelle have grown stale together
and with Michelle going over to RAw (hopefully) we can get some fresh matchups
and i mean if we get anymore matches between Michelle and Gail well look above haha
they obviously didnt have much chemistry
I still say Maryse is going to RAW. She’ll drop the title either this coming week or at Backlash to Gail, so Gail can feud with Michelle. Either Mickie or Candice will be heading to SD to feud with Michelle too.
Christi84 I don’t think anyone wants to see Michelle McCool and Gail Kim fueding. If it is in the WWE’s best interest than they should keep Maryse and Gail on Smackdown to fued and then move Michelle over to Raw, so that she can finally be on a different brand and be involved in some new fueds. But we’ll see, I DOUBT the WWE would be ‘stupid’ enough to put Michelle and Gail Kim in a fued though. Michelle and Gail do not have chemistry, but Maryse and Gail definitely do. The WWE showed Maryse backstage not just to show her, but to show us (the viewers) that she was watching…who? GAIL KIM. Not Michelle McCool. With Divas like Mickie and Candice heading to Smackdown it would definitely not make sense for Michelle and Gail to fued after the draft has happen would it? I mean, it’s not like Gail would have the championship after the draft and it’s not like McCool would have…it wouldn’t make sense for them (WWE) to keep McCool and Kim on the same brand when they wouldn’t have anything to fued over after the draft, since Maryse in your prediction would be on Raw. It wouldn’t make sense, the Divas Division on Smackdown would be like this how this match was which was ‘okay’, but definitely not entertaining to many. I don’t see Maryse going onto Raw now that I look at how it wouldn’t make sense, drafting both McCool and Ouellet onto the brand (Raw since Cool doesn’t have any reason to be on Smackdown any longer and in your prediction it’s that Maryse is coming to Raw) it would be like Smackdown….boring. The WWE wouldn’t put those same two Divas on the same brand, the WWE would not put their viewers through the same boring fued again. I’m predicting that Maryse is staying, so that she can fued with the likes of Gail for the Divas Championship (the backstage segment pretty much proves it) and possibly even Mickie James.
It was an ok match i guess, as the previous posters have established I think it wasn’t that great because they don’t have great chemistry. Gail sold terribly imo.
