Reader Poll: Who’ll Win the Women’s Championship Match at Royal Rumble?

vonVile January 27, 2010

Mickie all the way!!!

I’m tired of McCool as champion. She doesn’t even get into matches anymore. She has Layla do all her work.

MickieFan226 January 27, 2010

I honestly think Mickie might win this Sunday. At even though it looks like she won’t be on SmackDown this week, the fans are very fimilair with this feud and storyline so I don’t think it will hurt the match at the PPV.

And to top it off, Maryse is winning the Divas Title, and WWE always likes to have the Titles with the women even (with one heel, and one face) so I think Mickie’s chances of winning this Sunday are very high. It’s time for Michelle’s reign to come to an end. She never wrestles (besides House Shows) and it’s really not fair to the women who are wrestling weekly on both Raw and SD overall.

After Mickie wins, I finally see this feud becoming into a fatal four way, leading into WrestleMania. WWE will have to find some way to drag this feud out big time!

MickieFan226 January 27, 2010

And** even though it looks like she won’t be on SmackDown this week!
Sorry about that! :)

MickieFan226 January 27, 2010

Blah I said fatal four way, I ment thriple threat feud (including Beth)
Sorry, again! lol

I hope Mickie wins it. I really think Michelle has lost all right to hold the championship I know she’s injured but that didn’t stop some of the other divas from wrestling. She hardly wrestles now except PPV Matches. I think if they really want to carry on with this rivalry they need Mickie to win it. She’s been on the losing side for a while now and if she loses at the Rumble it will put her out of title contention. I think Mickie winning the title will make the storyline fresh and she could make an emotional promo about how she was dragged down and degraded by Michelle but she still fought on and proved she was champion.

Michelle FTW! <3

ebmich January 27, 2010

Mickiew HAS to win or it will totally kill her booking wise. It is bad enough that she proclaims she isn’t scared, intimated or paying attention to Michelle only to end up crying at the end of every promo, segment and/or match.

Then again, this is Michelle. I don’t know who is doing the booking, but they obviously hate the other Smackdown Divas. Michelle is a cancer for that brand. She never loses, never looks weak, never sells for her opponents, and never shows any personality or charisma. Anyone who says other wise must hate the other Smackdown Divas too.

theregoeskitty January 27, 2010

i think the winner will be Mickie, i know we have hoped for a Wrestlemania title match but i doubt it will happen, and i think it is more likely to change hands at the rumble

Rob January 27, 2010

I just can’t see the belt staying on Michelle much longer given how quickly the WWE likes to switch them around. I can see the belt going to Mickie then Beth with Michelle getting a rematch if not at wrestlemania than at Summer Slam. Beth is the unknown in this, she wants the belt and doesn’t care who she has to take it from.

Looking Glass January 28, 2010

Ebmich that was a bit of a pretentious comment to deem michelle as cancer and never showing charisma etc. Michelle has worked hard in this storyline and her mic skills have certainly improved. You can’t say people who disagree hate sd divas we just have different opinions to you. Grow up!

It’s obvious MIckie will win when you look at the fact www is aiming themselves at kids. Sure they’ve shown bullying, but would they have michelle win and send a message that bullying is ok? No it’ll be a tale of how the bullied can and should stand up to thheir victim to solve the problem. Plus michelles reign is at a comfortable length to end.

JuicyJuiceBox January 28, 2010

The way the feud is going, Mickie beat down time and time again, it’s only time for Mickie to strike back with a vengenance. It would send a bad message if she was humiliated week after week and when it came down to the one match that matters she loses out again.

Unlessssss…Michelle retains through cheap tactics and Mickie beats her up post-match thereby putting her over even in a loss. From there we see a more agressive, take no sh*t from noone Mickie James until she actually does win the title.

But I’m still going with the first route. I don’t think Beth Phoenix will be a factor in this match either.

Mikas January 28, 2010

I hope Mickie wins, it will be very bad booking if the heel wins after this major storyline. If Michelle wins then we can safely assume that Mickie is on her way out of the company. Or an alternative is when Beth gets involved, then probably Michelle will win and the feud turns into a 3-way.

Either way, that title needs to be taken from Michelle, its ridiculous she never defends it. Sure, her knee is partially responsible for that, but then just put the title on a temporary champion while she heels up properly.

ebmich January 28, 2010

“Ebmich that was a bit of a pretentious comment to deem michelle as cancer and never showing charisma etc. Michelle has worked hard in this storyline and her mic skills have certainly improved. You can’t say people who disagree hate sd divas we just have different opinions to you. Grow up!”

EVERY attempt to get Michelle over has failed horribly.

- Likable babyface? Fail.
- Victim babyface? Fail.
- “Voted the best!” babyface? Fail.
- Fighting champion? Fail.
- Scott Steiner wannabe heel? Fail.
- Dominate heel champion? Fail.
- Rachel McAdams in Mean Girls ripoff heel? Fail.

And she’s been the centerpiece of that division for over 2 years now! No matter how good the others try, it is useless because Michelle kills the crowd deader then Kong kills the other knockouts dead regardless of how strong a segment a bunch people who don’t know what charisma is think. That is why the SD booking is really so bad. It is impossible for it to get a reaction as long as Michelle is around. And it’s really disrespectful to brush off that fact because the goal of having a character is to make the crowd give a damn.

Michelle might have “tried hard” to show personality. Heck, Maria has tries hard to wrestle good, but people still get the pitch forks and torches when they find out she had a match. Why should we give any slack to someone who has had over 2 years of bad acting and going because she “tries hard”?

Christy Hemme Fan January 28, 2010

Mickie James is gonna win she is the best diva ever and she is my all time favorite diva! ?

Evan January 28, 2010

I want Mickie to win.. The only downside is that it’ll probably be Mickie vs Beth at Wrestlemania.

ReyStyle94 January 28, 2010

“Heck, Maria has tries hard to wrestle good, but people still get the pitch forks and torches when they find out she had a match.”

I LOL’d so hard at this. However, I do think McCool is starting to get heat as of late, especially because of this storyline, so give it a few more weeks, with the right booking, she could REALLY get over.

Voldemaart January 28, 2010

I hope Michelle wins and I voted for her. I think after her great reign she should go to WrestleMania as the Women’s Champion.

Undi January 28, 2010

Mickie is most likely to come out on top here, and I’d call it the right move. The only conceivable reason they would have for keeping the title on Michelle would be to delay the big payoff of Mickie’s victory to Wrestlemania. Regardless of who wins, I expect the feud to extend to Wrestlemania, with Beth Phoenix taking a more prominent role and probably making the full turn to babyface.

I’m not a fan of “learning on the job”, but Michelle has truly improved as a performer, and has been a great champion on Smackdown. I’m almost sad to see her reign end, but the future appears bright for the Smackdown divas, as long as the writers keep doing what they’ve doing, and continue to bring it every week.

Lady Sheamus January 28, 2010

As much as I like Michelle McCool it can’t be argued in my mind that she’s done a lot recently as champion in regards to title defenses THOUGH I think that it’s great that they’ve given her a significant reign. I hope she gets better or whatever it is keeping her out of the ring to wrestle changes because I enjoy her matches. I think Mickie needs to win to make a point.

And to be quite honest with you, on a personal what I deem as charisma is something that I don’t see a lot (or any) of Divas having nowadays, and regardless of what other people think, I think PART of the no-reaction thing is from the crowd being so dead regardless. I don’t care if Michelle doesn’t have “charisma”; she’s impressed me in the ring and right now I’d rather have that than the other way around. It’s supposed to be about the wrestling, but well, given its the “E” then Maria should be champion.

Dameon333 January 28, 2010

I voted Mickie. After all the things she’s been through, you think that WWE is going to throw her a bone now ! All the hard work with the best divas segment ever and the Mick Kick to Beth’s jaw is all the momentum she’ll ever need, and it’ll pay off at the Rumble. I do believe that WWE has been giving Michelle pushes ever since she debuted. I kind of agree with Ebmich, they never let Michelle lose most of the time and has been giving her pushes since her debut. She’s been inactive from time to time in the ring and what champion does that. I posted on YouTube like two years ago on a match that “Michelle is getting boring, her entrance is boring, her voice is low/deep and boring, everything about Michelle is getting boring. Especially when she has that championship around her waist,” and that was during her run as Divas Champion.

xflygurlx16 January 28, 2010

i think mickie will win! but i really dont want her too she’s been champ so many times, it’s just boring now! michelle was a nice change i enjoyed her title run! i’d love someone new to be champ but that’s not likely to happen! i think mickie will have a short title run and then beth phoenix will win it off her!

xflygurlx16 January 28, 2010

p.s GIVE GAIL KIM A TITLE!!

amare136 January 28, 2010

i hope Michelle wins.

Ana_Nattie_rules January 28, 2010

I think Mickie will win it for two reasons:

- First, I think they wouldn’t humilliate her for nothing. It would be stupid and disrespectful.
- Second, I think this will be her last title reign before she lefts WWE. Even though there are women who last until their forties in this business, most of them retire while in their thirties. Everybody knows that being a wrestler is something that damages the body and most of people want to age without chronic pain. Besides, Mickie is starting her music career, so that’s another reason why I think that she won’t be in WWE for to long.

The Crying Light January 28, 2010

For the sake of the WWE’s Women’s Division, I hope Mickie wins. In fact, I don’t care if it’s either Mickie or Beth who has a long title run after this. I just don’t want Michelle to have it. I’m sick of the fact that the WWE is pushing her as the top diva when she doesn’t have the necessary skills to be there.

Truth is, I admire Michelle’s skills in the ring and I do think that she is “very pretty.” She is not that bad. Her acting, of course, needs a lot to be desired. And she still lacks charisma (which is why I think they should have kept that cold persona she had when she lost the title to Maryse because at least she can pull that off well.)

But the thing is, she is not as good as a face as Mickie and she is not a dominant heel as convincing as Beth. And the mere fact that ever since her return, the WWE has been shoving her down the throat of its fans is just as laughable as the mere fact that even up to now she has yet to move mountains with the kind of booking she gets.

I have nothing against her personally but I’m tired of her.

redsoul January 28, 2010

for me Mickie wins the title or wins the match by DQ,allowing McCool to retain.since Maria is gonna be off SD for a few months i expect Beth to interfere in Mickie´s behalf in this match to give one more step to her so hinted face turn.

Jillfan1 January 28, 2010

I’m going with Mickie well for right now she’s the contnder its boring having a champion that really dosen’t captivate the crowd srry Mickie alll the wya i wanna c her vs Beth or Natte
