Proposed Outcome for Maryse-Melina Feud, Next Title Challenger

Posted by Melanie on December 9th, 2009
Categories: The News Desk

WWE’s plans as of right now for the Raw brand Divas feud is for the Maryse to come out on top in her rivalry with Melina. The move means Maryse, who made her return to active competition last month, would become the first multi-time Divas Champion.

Though plans are always tentative, we’re told that Eve Torres is being groomed as the next title challenger. Prior to Maryse’s return, there was some talk about putting her in a feud Eve but evidently WWE opted to give her a title feud with Melina.

Eve picked up her first win on Raw this past Monday and is a favourite among WWE management.

    WWE giving Maryse another title?? That is just wrong!!

    Yey horseface will lose her title. its about time.

    Melina has already have many titles, so its good to give opportunities to other girls, even though I adore Melina.

    However, I think it is to soon for Maryse to have another title, especially since she’s kinda rusty.

    Eve…I don’t know. She hasn’t shown many work, but if they build her well, then maybe. However, there are other competitors that probably deserve the opportunity more than Eve: Gail Kim and Alicia, but especially Gail Kim.

    If Gail Kim has two more years in her contract (assuming she is there for three years) I do not see WWE doing anything more with Ms. Kim for the foreseeable future. Gail is supporting the Divas, making the other women look good in the ring, and still showing us occasionally what she is truly capable of. As Gail herself has pointed out … “good things come to those who wait”.

    Something tells me the wrestling quality on RAW is about to sink down. Even further.

    I love Eve Torres, but I think she needs to show a little more in-ring work on Raw before being put in the title picture. She may have shown excellent improvement on Smackdown, but she’s only had one match on ‘Team Red’, which doesn’t exactly show off all of her potential. I still love Eve though :)
    I’d like to see Gail win the title next. She sure deserves it more than some of the other divas…

    And why is that MarBu, well wait a minute I think I already know the reason so don’t answer lol! But yeah, I think Eve might need to have more matches even though I’m a fan too (it seems we might be in the minoritysmelissaa -;), but hell Maryse needs more matches too, and judging by their last match together, it almost looked as if Eve was trying to carry the then-champ instead of the other way around; but then again, hurt or not hurt, Maryse was never skilled enough to carry someone that has less experience, which is a shame. I really hop they step their games up and I think they want Gail at where she is now, (which is anyone’s guess).

  • stchick
    December 9, 2009 at 7:08 pm

    Well I take that back about the minority part, she has peeps too, but I think she is still pegged with the whole diva-search winner tag which is now a burden in disguise (the other 3 aren’t doint much either)

    Just when you think it cannot get any worse, WWE proves ya wrong.

    So then what are they gonna do with Melina after she drops the belt? Move her back to SD because they feel she’s losing momentum?

    Fail.

  • nicorette

    i am a fan of eve. she shows great promise. however i think she needs to establish herself on raw with at least a few matches before getting into the title picture. i was hoping it would be gail kim vs maryse. and about alicia fox, i think shes been in the title picture a couple times recently, (while they werent longlasting) so its good to see a fresh face come in like eve or gail.

  • chrisP
    December 9, 2009 at 7:31 pm

    I guess we”ll have to see since WWE changes plans all the time.

    My concern right now is that for the last three weeks, the crowd has been treating Maryse more like a babyface than like a heel. In particular, on Raw Monday night, she recieved a noticable pop when Kelly introduced her and when she did her hair flip before the match while Gail Kim didn’t receive much of a reaction at all. I hope that stops soon as it will be bad if it starts causing babyface Divas to get booed or get no reaction when they wrestle her. That’s the last thing someone like Gail or Eve Torres needs right now.

  • SoRandy4Rosa
    December 9, 2009 at 7:36 pm

    Can’t wait to see Maryse as champ again!!

    I want Gail to turn heel & join forces with Maryse to feud with Eve & Melina, and then have Gail eventually turn on Maryse and challenge her for the title!

  • afca
    December 9, 2009 at 7:39 pm

    not a fan of eve, but good for her! now some of you can finally stop whining about how they are not using eve blaaablaaa…! as far as maryse goes ever since she won the title it has become a worthless title imo. so im guessing WWE is planning to make Maryse the Trish of the divastitle?

    & one more thing i can not wait for a Eve/Maryse feud since they both dont do anything but wrestling in a match, they have some flashy moves and thats it, its going to be hillarious yeey xD!!

  • THETommyTommy

    I’m hoping this is not the way they go. Eve is like an Alicia in my book, starting to show herself as a contender but not quite yet championship material. Gail Kim would be a far wiser option. A former women’s and knockout’s champion, Gail as champion would add that much more prestige to the purple butterfly.

    WWE changes plans like my sister changed clothes (For those that care, that means a lot), so I’m not going to all bananas about this (unlike SOME people who have already expressed sour grapes over a mere SPECULATION) I mean, this is WWE we’re talking about here. I mean, when the deuce do they actually make a decision and stick to it?

    If Eve is in fact going to be the new number one contender, then as far as I know, she will be just that for now: a CONTENDER, not a champion. That might be somewhere down the line. I have a suggestion to those that are at the brink of insanity over the small fact that Eve just might get a title shot in 2010: If you don’t like it…don’t watch. I can say a whole hell of a lot more on this topic, but I’m gonna stop here.

    I’m trying to produce a response as less Eve-Markish (what the deuce?!?!) as possible.

    i have no problem with maryse being champ because i love both of them BUT if melina carries the whole match while maryse bounces around fliping her hair and laughing and she wins vince is gonna hear from me asap.!

  • shannymac

    It’s funny how everyone thought that the move to RAW was a reward for Melina and the move to Smackdown was a punishment for Mickie. Despite the unfortunate BS that was the “Piggie James” segment, Mickie’s gotten a bit of a second wind to her career. Say want you want about the storyline, but the crowd is into it. They want to see Mickie overcome.

    Melina, on the other hand, has gotten royally screwed. She’s such a talented wrestler, yet all of her matches have been 2 minute botch-fests. I’m not going to hate on Maryse, but I don’t think she’s ready for another title run just yet. She’s entertaining, but she needs to get better in the ring and on the mic.

  • RKOyou
    December 9, 2009 at 8:05 pm

    Maryse winning the title back??? this just sucks,we all know maryse can’t wrestler and I don’t want to see another 7-month title reign,her first one still feels like it happened last week

    Gail should be divas champion

  • RKOyou
    December 9, 2009 at 8:07 pm

    it’s very obvious that eve won’t the title,however after eve,it gives a green light for Gail kim to become the number one contender and possibely win the title

    lets hope maryses title reign is short as possible

  • Fartycow
    December 9, 2009 at 8:23 pm

    Good for Eve! She’s got the talent, but I think they should wait until Eve gets more exposure and a solid fanbase on raw.

    I’d love to see Gail win the championship, maybe that’ll give the fans some incentive to get behind her a little bit.

    I would also like to see Kelly with a championship opportunity. Obviously she’s not the “best” wrestler, but I think the reason behind that is becaue she doesn’t have a reason to go all out and prove herself as a serious wrestler, and if she were champion, she could show that. I mean look at trish, she got the title pretty quickly and when that day came, she REALLY stepped it up in the ring. Plus I really love the Maryse and Kelly dynamic.

  • TrishMelinaFan

    Are you f’n kidding me?If that does happen I’m with my fellow Melina mark,paparazzi808.

    To whoever said Melina’s a horseface,haters can hate,and how can you say it’s “about time”?She only held the title for like a month and a half!

  • Casey
    December 9, 2009 at 8:53 pm

    @RKOYou: I don’t want Maryse to win either.
    But at least it’s Maryse and not Kelly *knocks on wood* who is downright horrid in the ring.

  • KrissyVaineLurver
    December 9, 2009 at 9:00 pm

    Why are WWE rewarding Laziness? This chick can hardly do four moves in a match and shes getting spoonfed another effing title to top her horrible first reign that was salvaged by a lame feud where she was allegedly scared to face Mickie James therefore they stared off every week. She’s the worst diva in the ring on raw so why is she getting all of these rewards for it? Just makes no sense to me, as it’s like making why do WWE know Maria and Rosa are so bad to never get a title, but they’re giving Maryse title after title when she’s equal to them in the ring.

  • SoRandy4Rosa
    December 9, 2009 at 9:50 pm

    @KrissyVaineLurver: If you think Maryse is the worst in the ring, I’m not sure what you are watching! She is far better then Maria and Rosa (and I’m the biggest Rosa fan on the planet, check out my username). You know that wrestling is scripted, right? Maryse was not scared to face Mickie, it was a storyline. She doesn’t do as many moves in the ring as she’s capable of because she is a heel, and her character calls for her to be cocky and rely on cheating, stealing wins, running away or WHATEVER it takes to gain heat. It’s business! Not lazyness.

  • KrissyVaineLurver
    December 9, 2009 at 10:03 pm

    I said the worst on Raw FYI and compared her to the worst on the other two brands ;) and the heel thing is such bull since other heels can show more than the same boring 3 moves every week that require no energy. Hell even Rosa did more than three moves in her superstars tag with beth against the bellas. She is sloppy and lazy, it’s not business, it’s her unimpressive nature of sucking in the ring =]

  • rodneyclint
    December 9, 2009 at 10:05 pm

    I think Melina’s run has been pretty boring and I’m liking the Maryse-Melina feud so far. I sound like a broken record, but the WWE doesn’t care about wrestling skill when it comes to the Divas, especially the ones on Raw. Maryse is frickin beautiful, she’s blonde, she’s French, and she’s competent in the ring and to top it all off, she is the only girl with a distinct personality on Raw. That’s why they are rewarding her with another title run, they’ve been high off her for a while. This news isn’t shocking, what would be shocking is if Gail Kim got a title run and sent all the eye candy girls to FCW and didn’t let the come back until they were true wrestlers. Ha, like that’ll happen. This IS the WWE.

  • amare135
    December 9, 2009 at 10:06 pm

    Naw Adriana. Eve is a good upcomer. IMO she is the best female who came out of diva search after Michelle. Eve is really getting good and she isnt boring in the ringn because she has some interesting moves.

  • Burke211
    December 9, 2009 at 10:09 pm

    If this is true, Thank God! I like Melina, but Maryse is the most entertainig diva on RAW (and the whole company IMO) so the division should be built around her for the forseeable future.

    Maryse v Eve doesn’t sound very interesting to me though, it might have if they kept up the Miz-Swagger thing and incorporated that into the mix, but now it just seems boring unless they develop Eve’s character some more first, I’d much rather see Maryse v Kelly tbh if they want to push a younger diva, they seem to share some kind of weird chemistry together on the few occasions they’ve interacted with each other, and after this weeks RAW it would be a logical move.

  • GlamazonKimFan
    December 9, 2009 at 10:09 pm

    I think Melina needs to keep hold of that belt!! Melina is one of the best females in WWE today and Maryse sadly just a character! A heel b***c like original Trish Stratus. For Melina to drop the belt now would make it lose any credibility?! Eve needs a lot more work as well maybe a mid card rivalry between her and Jillian would be better?? I think Gail needs to be pushed to the front of the Divas title chase and maybe throw Katie Lea in thier for good measure? Raw is lacking in female talent but WWE have got to use what they have wisely for a change!!!!!

  • ebmich
    December 9, 2009 at 10:12 pm

    Yay for Maryse. Her character is a great because whoever gets to knock her around, the crowd will love. Look at Gail on Raw. Not even flies came running when her enterance music hit and she made her way down the ring. But as soon as she was stomping on Maryse, the crowd got into it.

    Eve.. I dunno. I just don’t get it. She’s very un-graceful to me. Everything about her is so brutish and man-ly. Well, at least they are giving someone NEW a chance. It’s better then seeing Mickie, Beth, Michelle and Melina all the damn time.

  • DniLChan
    December 9, 2009 at 11:30 pm

    I love Eve, she improved her in-ring ability tremendously. But WWE needs to push Gail Kim! I’m tired of seeing her making others look good. She even made Kelly2 looked good in the ring! Gail for the next Divas champ!!

  • JuicyJuiceBox
    December 9, 2009 at 11:45 pm

    ebmich: brutish? Really? I think she can be really fluid in the ring sometimes.

    This news really has me excited if it’s true. And if it is true and if all goes well, Eve’s going turn ALOT of heads with this push. Right now her fanbase is tiny, sometimes I wonder that I’m the only one that REALLY believes she’s going to do big things haha

    Can the Raw divas sink any lower ?.

    Eve fueding with Mayrse , yeah that will be so much fun i cannot wait (sarcastic).
    Yeah Mayrse isnt ready for another title regin. What wwe should do is stop wasting there time and let Gail turn heel and beat Melina for the title. Then Eve can fued with the new Champion. I mean seriously ?. I rather see Eve and Gail fued with each other.

    Mayrse’s is just not cuuting it for me. I dont wanna see her run around the ring flip her hair do her hand taunt and came clutch , DDT etc for the next 4-5 months. Honestly I dont , unless she drops that posseum act and kicks ass

  • Goodnightddtmnm

    I love how there are no legitmate wrestlers in title plans lol. Granted I like Maryse because she plays a good bitch (I’m sorry, that’s all she’s good at), and Eve is certainly one to watch for in the future. However, I feel just about any other ladies on the active roster are more fit for a title run.

  • C-Ray
    December 10, 2009 at 4:53 am

    Wow…I’m so amused at a lot of these comments. I swear, a lot of you are actually assuming that Maryse will win the title and BOOM! Eve’s the next contender. HAHA…NOT! Melina/Maryse will go for a bit, probably til the Royal Rumble or early 2010, and Eve (at the earliest estimation) might get her title shot AFTER Wrestlemania, I think, and that’s after Melina tries to get the belt back from Maryse.

    I’m LOVING the entertainment provided by the comments here! :)

  • Weirddork
    December 10, 2009 at 4:54 am

    Look you guys stop being babies, Maryse is the best heel on Raw with a Character, she has good mike skills, if WWE would let them, Melina and Maryse could have very good matches, like remember when Maryse came to Raw and Her and Maryse had a LumberJack Match, That was a great match from both divas, its just since people complain on how Gail and Jillian are Jobbers and are made weak, thats why this week Jillian kind dominated Eve and Gail dominated Maryse. And Gail will not being the next to get the title, first the crowd doesn’t cheer for her anywhere.. not in Raw or FCW, Yes she may be a skilled wrestler but at the end of the day she is a face, not a heel, unless they want to turn her face to be the top heel but i dont think that will happen anytime soon…

  • Weirddork
    December 10, 2009 at 4:58 am

    i love maryse on the mic, she is amazing!! :D
    I saw the divas get their own show and get rid of ECW,
    haha and instead have WWE Divas on SyFy,
    now imagine that!! A diva can be both Womens and Divas Champion at the same time,
    haha and imagine how many diva matches and how much longer the matches are, i mean
    its just an hour too so its not that bad at least they can have their backstage promos and any diva
    can compete with any diva, so if a face like maria is filimg something else kelly or Eve Gail Melina can go help MIckie xD

    Some of you guys comments on here are so outrageous…..Okay xxxChristinaxxx WE ALL KNOW YOU DISLIKE MARYSE WITH A STRONG PASSION FOR SOME REASON, but you have the nerve to say poor Alica Fox? WHAT! She is definitly not that great to say that… she sells bumps well but other then that she isn’t that great…you definitly overrate her as you do with Michelle McCool because I notice all your little comments on universe. I’d seriously would like to see you get in the ring and try to wrestle because you act as if it is an easy job..I have had it with your comments they just annoy the sh!t out of me. Maryse isn’t the best wrestler, but she isn’t that bad the way you make her out to be. Yes I agree she should do more moves…but what part do you not understand she is an arrogent b!tch role so I really don’t expect her to do much..last year Maryse definitly showed improvement and showed that she has the passion to become the best last year. The stuff some of you say on here are so disespectful and nasty. Grow up and just deal with it. I’m not trying to stand up for Maryse because I do know where some of you are coming from, but I just had it with the negative comments about her wrestling ablity. xxxChristinaxxx YOU ALWAYS get all angry when someone bashes your mark Michelle so I hope you know where I am coming from.. sorry I’m not trying to be mean or anything but the stuff you say sometimes is just ridiculous.

  • xxChristinaxx
    December 10, 2009 at 2:10 pm

    @randallsnow19: IMO, Michelle McCool and Alicia is better than Maryse in ring skills, simple as that.

    Also if don’t like my comments you can keep it moving :)

  • stchick
    December 10, 2009 at 5:04 pm

    embich I don’t know what you think is brutish, un-graceful, and manly, maybe you are thinking about Nattie if anything (don’t jump down my throat nat fans since I am one too) And anyway, as if that should have anything to do with her not getting a shot a title someday, but maybe since she’s not petite and bit of a beanstalk I guess lol! Hell she looked almost taller than Chavo out there actually.

  • faux.brit
    December 10, 2009 at 8:59 pm

    While I do think Melina’s run hasn’t been the most exciting, I blame that on the Raw writers. They should seriously take a page out of the Smackdown book because SD writing and match length is far superior.
    If the Maryse rumors are true I will probably not be watching as much Raw unless she has a match against Gail; I can only take so much hair flipping and watching her matches has filled that quota for a couple of lifetimes. When I sit down to watch wrestling, I want to see action and whenever Maryse is in the ring I just don’t get that.
    It’s sad to see how brainwashed some WWE fans have become. THere is something wrong with the wrestling world when they would rather acknowledge and cheer for a pretty face that can’t hold his/her own in the ring instead of someone who has paid their dues and has talent.

    Eve needs just as much polish as Maryse as far as wrestling goes, so I think this idea stinks. I would rather Maryse come off worse in this feud and begin one with Eve as a secondary rivalry to a title program. A better idea would be for Melina to retain the title, since she hasn’t held it that long, and then face Gail Kim as a heel.

  • aiden123
    December 11, 2009 at 1:04 pm

    lol TrishMelinaFan but its RAW what else can they do with melina once she loses the title, who will she fued with “if” maryse does win then melina will have her rematch and lose then where will she go back 2 smackdown or fued with gail or jillian
