Following Monday night’s Draft, that saw Melina move to SmackDown and Maryse move to Raw, WWE will be holding it’s annual Supplemental Draft today on WWE.com. Last year, Maria and Layla moved in this portion of the Draft. We’re kicking it old school with a real time live blog as and when the draft picks occur. You can have your say in the comments!
Times are in UK BST.
12.26pm (7.26am ET): The Supplemental Draft kicks off in under 5 hours. Check out last year’s Supplemental Draft live blog and refresh your memory!
12.30pm (7.30am ET): Diva Dirt has broken 100 Twitter followers yay! If you have a Twitter account, follow us =) I’ll be updating Twitter as the Draft occurs too!
3.26pm (10.26am ET): Supplemental Draft starts in one and a half hours. Also note, that this isn’t a live blog like the live chats we usually do. I’ll be updating this post throughout the day, as drafts take place. You are free to comment on the post as usual! Alternatively, you can check out our Draft coverage on Twitter as soon as it starts at 12pm ET.
4.57pm (11.57am ET): The Draft live chat has begun on WWE.com, so check it out for all the Superstar picks. Diva picks will be covered as and when they revealed!
5.07pm (12.07pm ET): Is it just me or is the WWE.com live chat really effin’ boring? It looks like a bunch of dumbnuts reading a script, “Oh yes, Mr Kennedy… Money in the Bank…” Stepford Wives would be more interesting than this bunch of monotone losers…
5.19pm (12.19pm ET): First Diva pick is in!!! Alicia Fox has been drafted to SmackDown, as successfully predicted by me. Go me!
5.29pm (12.2pm ET): So excited for Alicia, I think she has a lot to offer as a wrestler and SmackDown is a good place as any to get started. I think she could be a good #3 behind Melina and Gail. But SmackDown now has an awful lot of faces…
5.33pm (12.33pm ET): Read my original Diva Draft post on Alicia by clicking here.
6pm (1pm ET): Second Diva pick is Nikki Bella moving to Raw! Err…
6.03pm (1.03pm ET): Waste of a pick if you ask me. However, I did say that SmackDown has too many faces and Raw has too many heels. Maybe Brie could join her and even out Raw? Mickie, Kelly and the Bellas on the face side with Beth, Maryse, Jillian and Layla as heels?
6.10pm (1.10pm ET): Another Diva pick… Candice Michelle moves to SmackDown!
6.12pm (1.12pm ET): As if SmackDown isn’t oversaturated with faces as it is. I would hope Brie and maybe even Maria move to Raw now…
6.16pm (1.16pm ET): Just thought I’d mention, WWE has set an all-time Draft record for the Divas this year! More draft moves than ever before in previous years. Five moves and counting…
6.20pm (1.20pm ET): Diva Dirt is experiencing an extremely high influx of visitors and our servers are going down for a minute or so at a time. Please bear with us! This is also a good thing, in a way. We love you guys!
6.31pm (1.31pm ET): I’ll have a ‘Draft Analysis’ post for all the Supplemental Draft movers & shakers later today along with the return of ‘The Big Idea’, giving all of this year’s draftees creative ideas for their new shows!
- Check out Melina & Maryse’s Draft Analysis
- Check out last year’s The Big Idea for Layla and Maria
6.49pm (1.45pm ET): Layla has been drafted to where it all began for her… SmackDown!
6.51pm (1.51pm ET): Very happy with this pick and it certainly helps even things out with the number of faces on SmackDown right now! I said it in my Diva Draft post, but Layla is the real deal, this girl needs to shine and fast. I can’t wait to see what she does with Gail, Melina and Alicia! I think SmackDown just became my new favourite WWE show…
7.07pm (2.07pm ET): WWE really is shaking up the Divas roster this year. 6 moves and counting!
7.34pm (2.34pm ET): There are less than 10 Draft picks remaining. Who are you holding out for? I’d like to see Katie Lea move to SmackDown and Brie & Maria move to Raw. Could Natalya join boyfriend, Tyson Kidd and newly drafted cousin, DH Smith on ECW?
7.39pm (2.39pm ET): 5th pick of the day, Natalya has officially moved to the ECW roster *sheds a tear*
7.44pm (2.44pm ET): SmackDown now has two heel Divas (Michelle McCool & Layla) and 6 face Divas (Melina, Gail Kim, Brie Bella, Eve Torres, Maria & Alicia Fox).
8.42pm (3.42pm ET): One last Draft pick to go. Will it go to a Diva?
8.49pm (3.49pm ET): The final Draft pick is in and it goes to the one and only (ha there’s a pun in there somewhere), Brie Bella! The Bellas are reunited on Raw… all is well.
8.51pm (3.51pm ET): Well you guys, it’s been such a joy to sit at my laptop for the past four freakin’ hours calling these Draft moves. I hope you appreciate the work and enjoyed the blog. If you’d like to send me gifts for my trouble, I will happily accept =)
8.55pm (3.55pm ET): Seacrest Melanie out!

5pm? aaaaah, im working then, what time do you close it?
Naaaay!. Again, I can’t be there on time. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. :D
Alicia to Smackdown!!! I like it I hope she can progress there. I acnt wai to see her in action.
Yay! I’m glad Alicia moved =D
5.29pm (12.2pm ET): So excited for Alicia, I think she has a lot to offer as a wrestler and SmackDown is a good place as any to get started. I think she could be a good #3 behind Melina and Gail. But SmackDown now has an awful lot of faces…
Discuss! Who would you turn heel? The Bellas maybe? Eve? Maria? Maybe ship a couple of ‘em out instead?
Alicia Fox to Smackdown!!! Yeah Baby I love Alicia Fox I seen her FCW matches and she is very Impressive. I hope she goes to SD and shows her stuff. I wonder who will turn heel though ?. I could see Eve turn heel. I think she would play a great heel.Maria ?.Nah I cant see her as heel its bad enough she is a face and still isnt that good.
Heels on SD:
Michelle
Natayla
Faces on SD:
Melina
Bellas
Eve
Maria
Alicia
Gail
Unless Gail turns heel which I highly dobut
Maybe Alicia’ll turn heel if Edge (who’s still SmackDown by the way) can’t keep his hands out the cookie jar, so to speak.
I say let Melina turn heel. WWE should go on the overall feeling that Raw is the A show and have Melina act superior than the other Divas because she’d been on Raw for the last few years. Also, keep in mind that there will probably be some firings in the next few weeks if we go on history. I can see Eve being fired. I have a feeling that Maria’s time on Smackdown is coming to an end too… she’ll either leave WWE on her own, or she’ll move to another brand. Then it’ll be:
Heels: Michele, Natalya, Melina
Faces: Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Alicia, Gail
Second pick is Nikki Bella to Raw. Have the Bellas now broken up or could we see Brie join her later in the Draft?
Nikkie Bella to Raw ?. R u serious ?. Thats one diva I wasnt looking foward not not being on raw ?. Isnt she the heel bella ?.Im pretty sure she is just another diva who gets multiple pins over Jillian Hall and Layla
I hope Eve does not get released ?. She can get better I have faith in her she did good in her debut match although she lost and I like her theme song.I dont think alicia should go heel ?. I think Eve should.Melina yes but then again Gail will be the only Diva as a face that is way more expirenced(besides Alicia)
NIKKI BELLA!!!! why of all people….. WHY WWE???!!!
who all has been traded{superstars and divas}?? i dont have an account to watch the draft
Uh Ok has nikki gone to raw and candice to smackdown or is that a guess?
haha yay i got the nikki bella pick right! but smackdown is FULL of Divas now… the live blog is talking of more Divas heading to ECW so we’ll see what happens but at least candice got the move she needs!
i think maria going to raw is now inevitable and i think natalya may join her! somebodys gotta go to ecw! poor katie lea!
We are experiencing a high number of visitors and the server is going down, please be patient if you’re waiting for the site to load. Keep trying… but let’s hope the site doesn’t die!
Crap. I was hoping Candice wouldn’t be moved… hopefully she’ll be shown the door soon enough.
LAYLA TO SMACKDOWN!
im glad candice has moved. this will hopefully give her the push she needs. nikki bella raw? shes not ready for raw yet i think the bellas have no persona
I agree with Melanie… SD is starting to become the place to watch. Now just get Maria off of there.
Heels on SD!
Michelle, Natalya, Layla
Faces on SD!
Gail, Melina, Alicia, Brie, Maria, Eve, Candice
Heels on RAW
Maryse, Beth, Jillian, Rosa
Faces on RAW
Mickie, Kelly, Nikki
ECW
Katie Lea
i want mickie to be on smackdown
I would move Brie & Maria to Raw and Katie to SmackDown to round things out
SD! has Natalya , Layla , Michelle as heels n Gail,Candice,Alicia,Eve,Maria , Melina & Brie as faces.Maria n Eve should go to ECW wid Jillian.
YES!!! Brie and Maria off of SD and Katie to SD would be perfect!!!
wow..regardless of which changes are made and whether we all like them or not, I am shocked at how many divas have been moved. I think its a good thing to shake it up
has layla been drafted?
Melanie which divas have actually been drafted thanks :)
Hi Melanie. I think you should note that DH Smith has been drafted to ECW. Reason being for this note is that Tyson Kidd and Natalya are already working there. Could this be a potential development of the New Hart Foundation (which includes Nattie)?
Liam, it’s all in the post… But just this once:
Alicia to SmackDown
Nikki to Raw
Candice to SmackDown
Layla to SmackDown
Raymond, Natalya is still part of the SmackDown brand.
Oh I know that she’s technically part of SD =) i was just referencing to her recent work on ECW with Tyson Kidd. I’ve been reading that WWE wanted to bring over their New Hart Foundation gimmick
:D
Morrison is on Smackdown! I hope we get a Melina/Morrison reunion!!!!
Natalya might be used on ECW, but SD needs her for the division now.
I really have a feeling Katie Lea is going to get screwed on ECW. What divas are left for her to wrestle??
This is a good draft for the diva’s so far.
Natalya is officially on ECW now!
Natalya is now officaly on Ecw. I don’t know how I feel about that. Obviously they are going for the Hart Foundation since DH Smith was just drafted to ECW
Natalya officially moves to ECW. SmackDown *really* needed her after Maryse left. On the brightside, she does get screentime (though not wrestling time) on ECW. Maybe this will force WWE to finally give Layla a push as the secondary heel behind Michelle?
dammmn
i was really hoping natalya would get a push.
I feel ok with Nattie being there. You gotta remember that RAW and ECW have the talent exchange, so in theory she could compete for the divas title. If anything, I feel ECW is a good place for both men and women wrestlers to grow. On Raw or SD, she’ll get lost in the back
Natalya on ECW is a TERRIBLE MOVE!!!!! how can she get pushed and win gold if her only opponent is Katie Lea and there’s no belt?!?! ugh WWE!! i hate this move!!!
Melanie….I’m pleasantly surprised by this year’s Supplemental Draft in a good way of course…in previous years the Supp. was something of a non factor, but so far all of these moves on the Diva side of things is rather intriguing.
The way I think of it is, ECW doesn’t need Divas. It’s a one hour programme, it doesn’t need it’s own division, doesn’t have or need it’s own title. The Divas on that brand are for managerial purposes, which is what Natalya & Katie Lea are/will be used for. I wouldn’t expect they’ll do much wrestling.
Layla ro SD Love it..Candice to SD love it. I must say right now SD divas roster is lookin hotter than Raw’s.
Im so pissed of Nattie is on ECW ?. That means No womens champion. I hope Candice turns heel and fueds with Melina.
I dont want Michelle Next womens champoion
Also, ECW has a talent exchange with both Raw and SmackDown so technically, Natalya and Katie could compete for either title… but I don’t see that happening, do you?
Its not going to happen. Katie lea is like my 3rd favorite diva she has so much talent i loved her In OVW I wish she was next womens champions so bad more than any other diva. all I can do is hope Katie gets drafted to SD or Raw to see more of her in action
Natalya to ECW?! what a waste of someone with such obvious God given talent.
Logistically, both rosters are kind of a mess right now. One brand has too many heels and not enough faces and vice versa.
The diva division on ECW isn’t exactly jumping, but Natalya there with Tyson Kidd and DH Smith might prove to be a good thing for her. If they strike up that New Hart Foundation angle they have been talking about forever that would probably get her more exposure than being the designated diva jobber on Smackdown. I feel like that job is about to go to Layla anyways, haha <3 still love her.
Just looking for a silver lining ;.;
