Erin’s Thoughts
Sounds like your average Diva tag match. I guess it was inevitable that they’rd revert back to that type of storyline filler. But hey, it’s Maria’s return match! Will she be up to snuff? It’ll be interesting to see how she works alongside Mickie and what their dynamic will be.

The other spoilers I read said this was a short match
Also, Mickie vs. Michelle will happen at TLC. Knowing WWE, their match will go on 6th out of the 7 matches or will go on directly after the Christian vs. Shelton ladder match, just to make the match is treated as intermission.
Meant to mention this in the first post, but Mickie apparently scored the pin on Michelle to win here. I’m guessing that Michelle will win on Sunday.
One word- Predictable. I’m just fed up of roll up wins, plus everyone goes on about Gail Kim ‘jobbing’ all the time, but it seems Layla has jobbed far more since moving to SD, yet no one seems to notice. Urgh, Maria just needs to waltz backstage with her microphone and leave the wrestling to people who’s most charismatic move is a handstand into a kick.
Everyone goes on about Gail Kim jobbing because she is a 9 year veteran jobbing week after week to girls when it is clearly not necessary. RAW has 4 other face divas: Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Kelly Kelly & Eve. Any of them could take the pin but Gail continues to lose week after week.
Layla has pinfall victories over Melina & unfortunately for Layla she is only 1 of 3 SD heels. Natalya is in more of a valet role. Michelle is the invincible champ & Beth Phoenix is just wrestling jobbers/a tweener.
Any way I hope Mickie’s match against Michelle has the TLC stipulation!!!!
Gail has come to the WWE and become the face Jillian, she is reliable and can make others look good.
I’m pretty happy that Layla gets so much TV time even if she never wins. She has a pretty strong role as McCools sidekick and gets some decent TV time every week. I am a bit of a Layla mark though! Maria always gets a pretty decent pop so im guessing we’ll see her teaming with Mickie on quite a regular basis!

lol! She has 6 single losses total in 2009, of which only 2 losses were clean pins. Yeah, she is such a jobber! *insert “She should go back to TNA” comment*
Well, it seems just Blah to me.
Maria probably will be in the ring for less than a minute, get her ass kicked and then tag with Mickie.
we all saw this one coming, oh god maria in the ring again ugghhh -.-!
& zomg i hate the ‘she’ should go (back) to TNA comments, as if the knockoutsdivision is soo wonderfull these days, :/ (pudding match?)
I was on the internet until I was sure all the results from SmackDown was in.To my sort of surprise
Beth was not on not even in a squash match which would have been nice.But I am glad that come
Sunday Dec.13th this title situation between Mickie and Michelle can be settled.So that come Tuesday’s taping of SD can have GlamaZon Beth P back on the roster.That now they can find a place for her on the show.
My favorite wrestler Scott Hall once said “I don’t care if I job. It just means there’s job security.” haha
Yeah, I would like Layla to win some more. But that just means the company has faith in her to make her opponents look good. A good pro wrestler knows how to make their opponent look better then them. It’s nice if you can hit a fancy suplex-y move, but what’s the point if the person taking it jumps to their feet like nothing happen?
I shall remain optimistic about Maria’s part in the match. I do think her and Layla have some sort of chemistry as she didn’t look too bad in their previous tag matches.
Forgot to mention this in the first post ,I seen that Mickie won the match.which is no surprise,But knowing that gives no indicitation of the winner of Sunday’s Women’s title match.Between Michelle an
Mickie.Glad they’re gonna get this title match out of the way.
To correct what I said earlier, Mickie actually pinned Layla, not Michelle. Sorry about that. Of note, the spoliers at PWTorch.com said the match lasted less than 2 minutes.
i am sorry if this is the wrong place to comment on it but i also read on pwtorch.com, one of the editors who works on the sitew as there and said that during the hart dynasty match natalya bodyslammed jimmy wang yang on the floor or something.
just thought it was interesting..
sounds like an ok 2 min match.
Gail kim jobbing is totally different then layla jobbing,it’s something obvious that doesn’t have to be explained
the match looks boring,sorry none of the smackdown divas interest me at all,i like mickie but I lost faith in her after going to SD,she’s a Raw girl and shouldn’t have been drafted
To Mikas: I never said anything about Gail Kim going back to TNA. My point is Gail Kim & Layla’s roles in the WWE are different. They are being used differently. Layla is featured in a storyline & we’ve at least heard her voice before.In regards to Gail, I think the last time she won a singles match was back on SD against Maryse.
yeah tag matches now i understand Maria is readful in the ring but yeah and for peole who think <Michelle is going to retain i may be wrong but look what happened in the bash Michelle pinned Melina before THE BASH and in THE BASH she won but all up 2 WWE personally i want Mickie to win
I think Layla and Gail’s roles as jobbers are different because of who they are supporting. Gail is teaming up with Melina and Kelly for the most part.. And these are two people who you can remember the last time they were pinned in a match. Michelle, on the other hand, I don’t know why whoever is booking thinks she’s too good to take a pin. Enter Layla, so the it doesn’t look like the heels always win.
