Tonight, the Divas Championship is on the line as Eve Torres defends against Maryse. Who will come out on top? The Diva Dirt team weigh in:
Cryssi: This feud is just getting good and to be honest, I would hate to see it end. I feel that if Eve wins, she moves on from Maryse and goes to a new challenger. I don’t know who Eve could feud with on Raw that would be as interesting as her feud with Maryse. I personally love the Gail Kim/Alicia Fox mini-feud so that leaves Eve with Jillian or the Bellas. Yeah… no. I reckon Maryse either gets disqualified and beats the crap out of Eve, or Maryse cheats to win the title back and Eve goes back to the chaser. I guess that makes me undecided about a winner so I’ll just say Maryse. Be sexy.
David: I am really looking forward to the Divas Title match Sunday night. The build between Eve and Maryse these past few weeks has been effective because it has brought out the best in Maryse’s character and also given Eve a solid first storyline as champion. I think a win Sunday night would be a major step for Eve, so I think Eve will retain the title. Right now Maryse should be used to chase Eve and ultimately put her over. I just really, really, really hope that the WWE doesn’t change the booking like they did at Elimination Chamber in February. Let the girls work and put on a solid title match!
Erin: I feel that the WWE is only getting started in building up Eve, so it would be strange of them to take the title off of her so soon. Also, this feud has a lot left in it–it’s only just started getting good, for God’s sake! I hope that they’ll continue this feud and build up to an even bigger blow-off match in the summer, and for that to happen, I believe Eve must retain her title. Of course, Maryse winning wouldn’t necessarily put a stop to things, but it would shift the momentum a bit and I think, for the first time in months, things have been going in a positive direction. I say stay the course and continue developing Maryse’s character (is she jealous, cowardly, or just plain old arrogant?) through her chasing the title. In short, Eve to win and keep the Divas Championship.
Melanie: I think it’s far too soon to take the belt off Eve so I feel this is a pretty one sided affair. There’s been some good storyline progression over the past few weeks so hopefully that leads to a decent match tonight. But as for the outcome, I expect Eve to retain.
Steven: To be honest, I wasn’t crazy about this feud when it first started, but with all the storyline progression that we’ve seen in the past few weeks, I’m actually kind of curious to see where this goes. That said, I don’t expect the match to be much wrestling wise. WWE has proven that Eve is their new golden girl, so having her drop the title so soon makes little sense. For Eve this is the match that will either make or break her in terms of being a credible champion in the eyes of her critics. I see Eve picking up the win this Sunday at Over The Limit without a doubt.
Tiffany: Disregarding what I’d prefer to see happen, I think Eve will pick up the win at Over the Limit. She’s held the Divas Title for a relatively short while. So, I suppose it’s only standard procedure to keep the belt on her for just a little while longer. I’d love to see Maryse reclaim what’s rightfully hers, but I’d give it some time. She hasn’t exactly gained the clear upperhand in this feud thus far. I’d say it’s been booked quite equally between the two.

i think Eve should keep the title.
and Maryse should get herself disqualified that way this feud can last awhile.

i dont have major expectations for this match i mean if it is a full length ppv match i dont know how good maryse will look she huffs and puffs after about a 2-3 minute match so what can she do in a 5-6 minute one. im hoping as far as the storyline goes i think it would make much more sense for eve to retain but i wouldnt doubt it if maryse pulled out her patented one move pin combo that never fails to win her a match no matter how much damage she is dealt and how little her opponent recieves

Maryse would win, hopefully.

Maryse can feasibly win the title without Eve losing credibility depending on the booking. After all, Eve has cleanly beat Maryse on several occasions — and if Maryse pulls a cheap trick to gain victory, it gives Eve more reason to chase her.
at
Eve needs to win here and I see her doing so by disqualification. I think Eve might try underhand tactics but when the referee sees, she just continues her assault.
Anyone know of a live stream for tonight?

eve might try underhand tactics? did u mean maryse?
at
Oh yeah sorry, I meant Maryse!
at
ok cuz i was like a eve heal turn would def. be a strange but interesting twist lol

If Melina’s set to return soon, then I can’t see the much less talented, much less interesting and much less popular back-up hispanic diva holding the title for much longer. Just saying.
at
Well I believe there are like 7 or 8 matches on the card tonight so I don’t think this match will get much time. I expect a brawl that leads to a DQ or something. I think it would be stupid to have Eve lose the title so soon. It wouldn’t make her look credible at all.
at
I would absolutely love for Maryse to regain the Divas championship, only because Eve does nothing for me at all. But considering the WWE loves her and they just put the belt on her, I see Eve retaining.
at
Are you guys going to have a after show
after the match or when the PPV goes off?
at
I’m sure Vickie will interrupt and change the match so that Maryse doesn’t have to wrestle, either that or Eve retains
at
NATALYA Remember I said this ;)
at
I really want Maryse to win back the title but knowing how much the WWE loves Eve and she has only been champion for a month its probably going to be Eve. :(
at
Expect Michelle McCool to smuggle her way on the PPV…think about it, Michelle hasn’t missed a PPV since Bragging Rights. Oh, I say Eve will win. The only reason she is not that interesting is because she gets no mic time. Have you seen RAW’s match. Eve did particularly well. Maryse should get DQ’d and then DDT the referee or something. Give Michael cole a DDT or put Eve through the table!
at
nice thoughts DBZ but the best we could hope for is maryse slaping the ref or michael cole
at
Hmm not sure on this because Maryse as received massive publicity today in the Uk an article in the Daily Star newspaper, surprised it wasn’t posted on the site I did tweet you guys about it :P But Eve just won the title but I want Maryse to win here and feud with Natalya
at
Is this Eve’s first title defense?
If it is I cant see her dropping the title tonight.
at
but along those lines i wouldnt mind seeing maryse get DQ’d knock eve out and actually steal the title like she won it and start this thing where she believes that she truly is the divas champion even though eve really is. that would totally play up the kinda crazy/desperate side that maryse has been hinting at and also give the feud a second wind so it doesnt become too stale
at
Report from the last houseshow, in Cincinatti:
“Maryse was super over with the cincy crowd, Eve botched the finish and got booed heavily”
Doesn’t look very promising for todays match.
at
I want eve to win because i don’t want maryse to become a 3 time divas champion
at
It’s funny that Eve is the better wrestler, but Maryse brings so much more prestige to the title. Some people just have that presence. I don’t think that applies to Eve.
at
lol Its more funnier that people would think Maryse actually brought some prestige to that title. What a joke! But I don’t think either of them are doing a bad job with this feud so.
at
Maryse arguably has more character than any of those who’ve held the belt. I’m not saying she’s the best person to hold it, but she carried it well with her character.
