The match itself was great and it was great to see all 6 divas getting some ring time. Alicia has come a long way and id like to see her and Gail have a match soon. Michelle has definitely got the heel role down and Melina has just exploded ever since coming to Smackdown. I thought on Raw she was getting stale but I think she has been doing an amazing job the past few weeks. Overall it was a solid match and cant wait for next week.

On a sidenote, Melanie, I really think it would be a good idea to do the Maria blog, to see what everyones opinion is on what she should do next.

Batista’s been destroying Cody and Ted on Raw for weeks now. Does it mean either of them are next in line? Does her drop everything and go fight Ted at Extreme Rules instead? No. It was always about Batista vs Orton. This Divas match was all about Melina vs Michelle. Nothing else.

I bet they’re trying to stretch out the angle to have the Women’s title match at The Bash PPV. No way is Layla ready for a title run right now. You don’t jump from a feud with Eve to title contender just like that. If anything, Gail is probably next in the title mix (they can always turn her heel if they keep Candice face). Layla might get a non-title match with Melina next week, to delay the title match with Michelle a little longer, in which it will be a squash with Melina beating Layla easily. Don’t get me wrong. Great win by Layla. She pinned a champion and a win is a win. But it had nothing to do with her. It’s about Melina vs Michelle for the Women’s Title. Once it’s over, then the speculation can begin on who fights who next.

Kelly got a DQ win over Maryse after a surprise battle royal win over Mickie, seemingly setting Kelly up for another title shot. That’s fine, but then she lost clean to Maryse on Raw Monday. Is the feud finished or not? Plus, Michael Cole has kept talking about a Maryse-Mickie issue, but they have had very little interaction since Kelly entered the picture, even after Maryse cost Mickie a title shot. And why was Kelly added to the mix only after the Maryse-Mickie feud was already starting?

Will Layla get a title match even though Michelle is already the official #1 contender and hasn’t had her shot yet? That wouldn’t make much sense, but Layla not getting a shot at all wouldn’t make sense, either. She did pin the champion after all, and that just being forgotten would be stupid. However, If Layla is going to be the next challenger, it would almost certainly be against Melina, so what chance will Michelle have when she gets her shot (assuming WWE has not already forgotten than Michelle won a title shot two weeks ago)? And, again, why is Layla getting involved now, AFTER a Michelle-Melina issue was being established? Does this mean her feud with Eve is over?

It’s a shame that the Divas’ biggest problem right now is something that is not under their control. They can become better wrestlers but can’t do much if their angles have no direction or don’t make sense. And do we even need to talk about how they are being left off ANOTHER pay-per-view this weekend?

I miss Laylas straight hair and nice attires that she had on RAW, her hair is like Alicias now, big and scary & her attire is weird :S. But i love her aggressive attitude when she gets in the ring, Its something that none of the other divas have lol. The ‘Layout’ needs to change IMO, its just a neckbreaker thats often used as a simple move, when i first hgeard of the ‘Layout’ I imagined it as a Reverse DDT which i thik will suit Layla more. hehe

Looking forward to Candice return, lets hope she will have no injuries and gets back to the top where she longs to be!

GO Layla :D

It took the same number of weeks for Maria to make her first SD appearance as it did for Maryse to get her first Raw win…..and Maryse is the Divas champion. Very odd. Come to think of it, since the draft, Vickie Guerrero has been in more matches than Maria. That can’t be a good sign for Maria.

All the girls did pretty good for what little action they had, but I’m kind of iffy on Layla. It looks like she has the Maria-esque “antsy feet” syndrome, not looking comfortable or natural in the ring. Maybe it’s just something she puts on as a heel, but she doesn’t look as comfortable as she should be.

“Maria’s role in WWE….. shes cute…ish”

anyway great match, MUCH better than RAW, nice win for Layla, honestly didnt see it coming. i thought she would GET pinned tbh

like i said Maria should have improved more in the ring ( especially in the four years she has been here) but at least she can put on a half decent match in the ring. So i would like to see a column about maria and all the divas for that matter, kind of like the good,the bad and the ugly. It would give people a chance to keep an open mind about each diva as well as their strengths their weakness and everything in between.

But GO LAYLA!!! :D

The real kicker in this match was Maria !! WTH was she wearing sheesh!!! It looks like she spends more time designing than training that explains her role in this match.How Sad

Also, was it just me or could the ending in general could have been done a tad bit better ? I dont know if my attention span isnt up to par lol but I couldnt focus on Michelle on the apron, the fight outside, and then Layla in the ring. Just seems like it could have been little better.

Kudos to Smackdown Divas for another great showing this week.

Good match, though. I loved how when Michelle came in she told Maria to ‘call it fairly this time’. Haha, nice touch. :D

On to the match, I really enjoyed this one. Gail Kim really is an amazing performer, and I wish more WWE fans would recognizes this. Layla pinning Melina was a big shocck to me, even if she did get help from Michelle. That’s a big step for her, and I think she deserves a good win for once. Plus, it shows that unexpeced things can happen sometimes. This was a pretty well rounded match.

On another note: what in the hell was Maria wearing? Does she honestly think those boot…things look good? Her style scares me sometimes.

I notice you and I have a lot of similarities in who we like, and who we don’t. In Maria’s case – I never really was a fan, although she was tolerable as a dizzy interview chick. Than the Santino pairing/Playboy push came and for some reason, posing in Playboy made her smarter? I guess.

But anyway, I was starting to get behind her when she had a couple of good matches on Smackdown – but that all fail apart when she made her return back to Smackdown, to ambush a newly heel Michelle McCool. And just acted a damn fool. That’s when I ( and no doubt, the WWE higher ups ) noticed the deep void that was Maria’s wrestling skill.

Oh how I would just love to shake the casual WWE fan, for giving these, excited ” POPs ” for Maria and other women like her, but go dead silent when Gail Kim enters. What a pity!

But decent 6 women’s tag match! I’m not really liking how Melina takes the fall for her team (for the second time), when there’s a lot more weaker opponents to pin ( Eve anyone? ) But I guess the McCool/Melina feud has to go on somehow. Why haven’t they announced a women’s title match yet?

I am so Happy for and i can’t wait to see what’s next :D
