This may look a little strange to all of you…you know, considering it seems like it’s been years since the Divas (sans our Freakin Costa Rican) have appeared on WWE Superstars, but never fear because they are back and better than ever. Tonight in the main event of the show, we saw Raw Divas square off, as Kelly Kelly took on Brie Bella in singles action. What role would Nikki play ringside though? And where is Eve Torres in all of this?! I’m afraid to inform you that the only way to find out the answers to these burning questions is by scrolling on down and watching what happens.
Following a very pink match graphic and perky theme music, we head to the arena where Kelly Kelly makes her way out to the ring in her finest blue gear. She poses on her way down the ramp, slaps a few hands, and climbs into the squared circle as we are taken to a brief commercial break. Upon returning, out comes the devilish duo, Brie and Nikki of the Bella Twins. Luckily for Kelly, this is only a singles match, but with two Bellas dressed in the same thing, is she really going to be facing only one of them? The Bellas flip into the ring, as their music stops and the bell sounds.
They immediately take the fight to one another, as Kelly flings Brie across the ring and slams her head into the mat. She shoos Nikki away from the ring apron and sends Kelly into the corner, but K2 boots the Bella in the stomach and locks in a necklock modified hangman’s neckbreaker. She then flips outside the ring and trips Brie up, before sliding back in and running off the ropes with a clothesline. Brie takes cover with Nikki, but Kelly basically spears Nikki off the ropes…which provides enough distraction for Brie to take advantage.
She begins to work over the arm, as Scott Stanford informs us that the Bella Twins have informed him of a possible break in friendship between Kelly and Eve. Nikki continues to make her presence known throughout the contest, as Brie hooks the leg for a two count. From there, she locks in an arm lock, as we continue to find out that it’s possible Eve ditched Kelly for Zack Ryder considering he now has a title and Kelly does not. The crowd tries to will Kelly on, but Brie slams her back down by the hair and continues to add pressure to the arm. Nikki cheers Brie on, as Kelly rolls her up out of nowhere for a one count.
Brie with a brutal knee to the arm, as she just taunts K2 in the ring and has some fun at Kelly’s expense. She rubs Kelly’s head in the ring and hooks the leg for a near fall, as Kelly continues to show her resilience. Brie then tries to go for a pin with the arms, while Kelly fights out. Brie with a nice bridge cover, but the two Divas continue to lock arms. Kelly then hits a nice monkey flip to send the Bella Twin flying through the air, as she begins to mount a comeback with a thesz press off the second rope! Mounted punches follow up, continued with the whirlybird headscissors.
A bulldog to the corner of the ring, as Kelly executes her signature stink face to a rousing cheer of applause. K2 then backs up and charges forward with a handspring elbow, while she then follows up with an assortment of kicks to the face. The referee must physically restrain her from causing permanent damage to Brie’s face, which gives double trouble enough time to peform twin magic, as Nikki rolls Brie outside the ring and assumes her position. Kelly stomps forward, but Nikki slams her face right into the turnbuckle and rolls her up using the ropes for added leverage! One…two…three! The Bella Twins steal the victory from a feisty Kelly, as they celebrate on the ramp to end tonight’s show!
Thoughts: A fun showing from the Divas, and definitely much better on the time length. I felt like this was pretty much what you would expect from these two ladies, but I did love the monkey flip spot and thought it was a nice touch. Hopefully the feud between these three continues on with more Superstars outings, being I would love to see Kelly and Nikki go at it with a lengthier time given to them. Overall, I enjoyed the contest for what it was, and I very much like seeing the Bella Twins picking up wins to help build them back up (hopefully in time for a possible Kharma program leading to Mania!~)

This was probably one of their best matches out of the 4838294728 that they had. It was good , this shows how time can affect performance!
I also like the “rumor” about Eve ditching Kelly….its very interesting, even though is unlikely true.
This match was better than all the matches these 3 (and Eve sometimes) had on Raw ..

This was one of the best bouts that Kelly and (insert) Bella had. I don’t know why everyone was so critical of it – everyone knows these ladies aren’t ring generals.
I liked the modified monkey flip!
The fact the Bella in the match graphic is Nikki shows WWE’s lack of knowledge, attention, or a mixture of the two.
Match was actually pretty good, save for a few slow spots such as the Divas always waiting for Kelly’s slow transition headscissors. Still, solid little match and a nice win for the Bellas.
Refreshing to see some different action from Beth vs. the World on Raw.

You havn’t watch raw for a while !
‘ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME!!? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME!!?”
LOL at Kelly’s temper tantrum at the end of the match.
Wonder if the Eve ditching Kelly rumor is true…..leading to a possible heel turn for Eve.
The match was not the best one I have seen from these two ladies. Brie attacks were really good though. Did you guys see that Kelly changed her stinkface up a bit?

I wish it turned out to be a true storyline, with Eve turning heel. I’ve been wanting Eve to turn heel for almost 2 years now. And Kelly acting tough is so hilarious – does anyone honestly think she can beat up any of the divas except for AJ?
LayTorres Reply:

I am sorry, but Kelly turning heel would never work. She’s got the looks of a babyface, acts like a babyface, talks like a babyface. To me, K2 turning heel would be very annoying. Lets just leave Kelly the way she is. Imagine all the promos she would have to give if she turned heel.
7:23- 7:24 Glamazon Much! LOL Crazy Kellz favored Beth , you know when Beth loses a match and she throws on that “Pissed Off Face”
The match was good though I hope Crazy Kellz uses ” Are You Freaking Kidding Me” More Often She should debut a new theme it would start of as “Are You Freaking Kidding Me” then some type of bad ass Heel beat follows behind. A beat like the one Jazz had her 2nd one.

Oh and she did kinda look like Beth when she threw the pissed off face. But lets be honest here, nobody can pull of a vicious pissed off face better than the Glamazon.
The match itself seemed like we’ve seen before but from the length of it was okay.
From the comments that Scott Stanford said has me believing we’re gonna see an Eve heel turn?
this is better then that shitty ppv match awhile back or any match the bellas vs kelly…
just shows the bellas this time brie can carry kelly & they have potential..
i miss the bellas as faces because the crowd would respond to them & they actually did moves not just kicks,chokes on the ropes & arm bars….
kellys tough girl act at the start was hilarious..any one of the bellas could kick your ass..

Yeah, how did they even in any way carry Kelly? If anything all of the girls did good and no one carried anyone.
You should start giving them credit when it’s due, and this match it was definitely due.

I know right. It’s so annoying that everyone automatically thinks because Kelly is not as adequate in the ring as say someone like Natalya, that she has absolutely no idea what she’s doing.
We know Kelly is never going to take the lead, but it’s not like Brie was shouting spots and calling the moves. I wish people would stop assuming that Kelly is totally clueless, because it takes two to make a wrestling match. One person can’t do everything – it’s ludicrous to think that otherwise there would be no pint to wrestling in the first place! Haha

Brie controlled the whole match basically….so whatever..brie was telling kelly when moves & stuff happen same as kelly to brie..you tell each other what your about to do so they know its about to happen if you knew wrestling you’d know that…
it takes two to have a match obviously lol like anyone thinks one person can have a match..brie did most of the work of this match i.e controlling & dominating kelly so kelly could have little bits of advantage…
gottalovedivas Reply:
January 14th, 2012 at 12:22 am
Well working over a body part i.e “Controlling and dominating” isn’t exactly carrying someone. It’s a wrestling technique that all heels do to wear down the quicker opponent and get the advantage.
Of course I know that wrestlers know the spots and moves throughout that match and sometimes communicate with each other. You just insinuated that Brie was doing all the work – which was not the case …
art Reply:
January 14th, 2012 at 8:48 am
controlling the match is carrying because kelly never controls the match over the girl/s shes versing…..
brie did most of the work thats what i said…i never said brie did everything…
gottalovedivas Reply:
January 14th, 2012 at 10:40 am
Most babyfaces don’t control the match, with perhaps the exception of when Beth or Nattie was face.
Wearing down your opponent using submissions and rest holds isn’t carrying…
art Reply:
January 14th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
no brie controlled the match meaning she was carrying thats how it goes..kelly never carries a match & we all know why because she cant…
her match with tamina shows why….

truce …< no anyways lol..
nothing made this match special but it match was much betteer than their previous outings!!!! I think there was three keys in the match that made it better.
1. Limit Kelly’s moves in the ring to what she knows.
2. Allow Brie Bellas to dominate the match since she is more knowledgable and steady in the ring.
3. Limit Kelly’s screaming (LOL!)
If kelly kelly consistently had matches like this, i would give her much more credit. But i just cant see that happening especially at pay per views.
wow the bellas working kelly’s arm and a monkey flip, I’m shocked, they did better than usual !
.
.
But there is still a long way to go to be called wrestlers …
ps : I had to cut the sound due to kelly screaming.
It was a ok match.
At first I thought FINALLY Kelly managed to run the ropes greatly (in the beginning when she used them), only to get dissappointed a minute later when she run the rope to go for her almost botched hurricanrana. –__–
My biggest wish would be: keep the monkey flip, DROP the hurrincanrana (its the stupidest move ever), drop the stinkface, use the neckbreaker more, grab another move or two that makes you look good!
Anyways, still one of their better matches.

I’m sorry but any match involving Kelly/Eve vs the Bellas is just not going to work. This match was no exception to that.
This was a fun little Superstars match. That hurricanrana was nearly a disastuh, but they recovered. How many feuds are the twins going to have where another Diva is trying to outsmart their twin magic act? Jillian, Eve, Kelly, etc.

There was only one diva who avoided the twin magic….and that diva was Maryse.

Actually, Eve also avoided Twin Magic once, when she used a sharpie marker to mark up Nikki, while Brie was her opponent. Ironically, Brie still won the match.
LayTorres Reply:
January 13th, 2012 at 11:24 pm
Yeah I know…..I am actually mentioning a diva who avoided twin magic and won a match without interference…..and I think Maryse was the only one to do it. I might be wrong.
Apparently Perez Hilton will be on Raw Monday with the WWE Divas. Maybe that means they’ll get an extra 60 seconds -_-

Oh…ok very good to know.
This match was good. Superstars always did have the best matches for divas. Like the Gail vs Melina matches. Anyway, I thought Kelly was acting heel like in this match. I don’t know if it was just because she was angry at Bella’s with the twin magic thing on Raw last week, or it means Kelly is turning heel, and with Eve “ditching” Kelly, it could be possible.
It seems like no matter what happens, everyone ALWAYS thinks that Eve is gonna turn heel lol. She just got her new theme, and there’s no way that it would fit a feel, so I doubt WWE would’ve made that new theme for her if they had any plans whatsoever to turn her heel.

January 13th, 2012 at 10:50 pm
I think the song she had for two weeks would be better if she was turning heel. I think if anyone is turning heel it’s Kelly, but I could be wrong lol.
O my can it be Kelly on superstars… finally WWE you have done something right
Good match, much better than their work earlier this year. I liked that Brie actually worked over a body part, very old-school like :) did anyone else feel that Kelly came off as the heel early on? maybe it was just me?
Steve_x Reply:
January 14th, 2012 at 1:15 am
No you are not the only one. I mentioned a few posts above, that it seemed Kelly was acting heel. I’m not sure if she was angry at Bella’s, or she is turning heel, with Eve “ditching” her.
Yall may not think this but I thought Kelly did amazing in this match im a big fan of hers but im also fans of Trish, Lita, Chyna, Bull Nakano, Kharma, Tara, Gail Kim, Candice Michelle, and Angelina Love so i know womens wrestling but i thought Kelly did good one of their more entertaining matches :) but I thinkk if WWE would let her show her skills she would be awesome!!!
Decent match, I’m now off of not really liking Kelly and I’m still not liking the Bella’s, for one.. if the whole Eve thing is true.. Eve probably won’t be turning heel, sorry but as we all know the male superstars roles are more important to WWE than the diva’s.. if Eve is all teamed up with Ryder and Cena then she isn’t heading toward heel street for a while. I’d rather see Kelly turn heel considering we haven’t seen that side of her and with the “attitude” she has picked up from the last year or so I think she’d pull it off rather nicely.
As for twin magic, over it, it’s been overdone, it’s predictable.. break those two up already! It will be a good thing for both of them.
I feel like if Kelly Kelly went heel she would be an annoying little bitch troll from hell..not that she isn’t now, but I think she would be screaming and going all psycho on the Divas. A cross between psycho Mickie James, Victoria, Madison Rayne, and maniacal laughing Maryse. I feel that it could work, it usually does work when the top face Diva is turned heel for the first time.. ie: Lita, Mickie James, Michelle McCool, & KINDA Beth Phoenix (but she got her jaw broke as soon as she got to RAW & then came back as “The Glamazon” we all know, love, & miss.)
But now I’m getting off topic..This match for some reason showed me why I liked Kelly Kelly, and why I think she is good for the division. It wasn’t until they started pushing her over the more experienced Divas that people REALLY started hating her which is wrong. She wouldn’t get anywhere just being the squash of the match.
A heel turn would be very good for Kelly, but I think I would of put the title on her one more time before that happens, but with the impending returns of Layla & Kharma coming, I’m sure several plans will changes over the next 6 months. Perhaps Kelly will be heel and be feuding with Layla, regardless if they put the title on her now, or between late 2012-2013 I think there will be a (face) Layla vs (heel) Kelly Kelly feud down the line, and personally I’m all for it!
Here’s to 2012 being better than 2011.

Agree i love kelly kelly & i hope she became heel
Note for,
Kelly: work on your punches & thesz presses, girl!
Whoever diva that sells Kelly’s headscissors: i hate that it always looks like they’re waiting for kelly to coming.
I guess my problem with this match is that it was extremely dull in my opinion. I loved that Brie was working on Kelly’s arm, but she works on Kelly’s arm everytime they have a match.
I loved that monkey flip spot, but otherwise it just lacked in being entertaining. Kelly was better this time, but these two are just boring to watch in the ring together.
It seemed like one of their matches previously, just more time. I felt like WWE were holding them back from doing anything memorable in this match. Come on WWE!
cool monkey flip!
but man this match still sucked even with 7 mins lol…
makes me think maybe wwe is RIGHT about only displaying diva matches for 2 mins lol..
I liked this match it was given enough time to be good :25 K2 was good showed fire and emotion as the babyface and Brie was good in the match as the heel the twin magic ending was great with nikki getting the illegal pin. All ohe divas looked hot
My Bad 7:25 :D
