The WWE certainly shook things up when they drafted Melina and Maryse to opposite brands – with them went their respective championships. Thus, a new record suddenly looms, and the race is on: who will be the WWE’s first ever double champion? We’ve taken possible candidates (former Womens Champions and Divas Champions) and calculated their odds, ordering them in rank of most likely to least likely. Over the following weeks we’ll be updating this chart, taking into account wins, losses, and budding feuds. Place your bets folks because it’s happening, and it’s happening soon.
| Beth Phoenix |
Raw/Divas Championship

| Mickie James |

Given the Odds… Beth is one of Raw’s top Divas (not to mention the last Women’s Champion), so it’s likely that she would get a shot at Maryse’s title. That, paired with rumors of a face turn make it extremely likely that she could be the one to get the first crack at a feud with Maryse.
Candice has been moved to SmackDown, and thus is out of range of a Divas Championship match, but never say never! She’s been out of commission as of late, and thus her chances are even slimmer. Though, I wouldn’t put it past the WWE to pull a fast one on us.
Gail faced Maryse on her very last SmackDown appearance (read spoilers), and it’s not out of the question that their feud could spill across the brands. Friday’s results make one wonder if this earns Gail a shot at Maryse’s title, and if that were to happen, we may have the first dobule champ on our hands.
Michelle is very likely to be Melina’s first feud on SmackDown. She’s the brand’s top heel, so it’s quite obvious that those two will butt heads. The question is: will Michelle be able to best Melina?
Mickie has been put on the back-burner time and time again, but perhaps this is her time to shine – the “shaking up” the draft did could be just what she needs to “get her groove back”, so to speak. She’s easily Raw’s most popular Diva, so it would be easy for the WWE to pit her against the new, arrogant heel in Maryse and produce a attention-grabbing feud.

i like that pic at the top =]
honestly i can see either Mickie or Beth becoming the “double champion”
there both credible enough.
but i would really like to see Beth become double champion
I am already loving this feature :)
Beth or Mickie 4 the Double title
I say Beth, Mickie or Michelle will be the first double champ.
It will probably be Beth Or Mickie First.
I’m going out on a limb here and i’ll pick Gail Kim as the Double Champ
I hope it’s either Beth or Mickie.
Plus, I love this article! I can’t wait to see the coming weeks until there is a double champion.
I love that picture for this article, really cool!
I’m glad your doing this.
I hope it’s either Mickie or Beth.
man you know what sucks is that melina isnt gonna be able to be the first double champion…..cause honestly i think melina is a true definition of a “diva” but oh well i see michelle mccool being crowned the new champion o wonder which title will be up for garbs at backlash?????
Maybe I don’t like to see Beth holding the pinkish-blue butterfly belt but still, I want her to dominate. I just want Mickie to be the first and Raw and Smackdown diva division would be balanced and leveled especially now that most of the best divas are in that blue brand.(Melina,Michelle,Gail,Candice) :D
Id Love to see Mickie have the Double title holder.
going off topic id love to se Natalya as the double champ!
shes the third gen diva!
wwe HAVE to treat her well other wise id say its an insult to the Neidhart generation.
As much as I adore Beth I have to say that Mickie has probably earned that honor more and deserves to be the first Double Champion.
I still can’t get used to the thought of the two of them going after and holding the Divas Championship but…hopefully I eventually will…probably just in time for them to switch the belts back next year…
Mickie first. I doubt it’ll be Gail now Maryse is on Raw
I think it will be Mickie even though there’s a rumored Beth/Maryse feud
If it’s Michelle then I’ll scream like Vickie when Edge called off the wedding
Timing and schedule seem to favor Michelle McCool. Melina has been Champ for almost 4 months, usual time for a title change. Michelle seems to be in the right spot at the right time. If Vince loves Maryse, she’s not going to drop the belt to start her RAW run.
Love to see Mickie get rewarded, not with just the belt but also for the historical props. She deserves it.
But…………after losing clean on RAW Monday night, I wonder if her mini – push is already over, she hasn’t worked any of the House shows in Great Britain, and WWE will use her to put over Maryse to the RAW audience, leading to Beth – Maryse storyline.
If they’re going to drop Mickie to 3rd face on RAW behind Beth and Kelly, they should have moved her in the draft, unless they need her that badly to in ring tutor the younger girls.
London was good to Mickie last year, RAW from London Monday night, maybe lightning strikes twice ??
Mickie loves her pink, she would look GREAT with a new pink belt.
