Love Love Love Layla
I expect to see VERY good things from her.
However WWE needs to feed their fans hunger and return Kharma, Kharma vs Layla feud could be good

*Incredible (if the time and effort is put into it correctly)
If the Bellas are in fact leaving tomorrow, they really should have you know who return tomorrow and set up Layla vs Kharma.
I think if Layla b/ Maxine or someone, or Brie/Nicki beats Kelly, have the Bella’s get the mic and talk trash not only about Layla but about Kharma, have Kharma come out, destroy them, cue evil grin at Layla. Next week start building up a physical feud

OMGGGG! I Love Lay…so glad she is champion…..Yes Layla hard work pays off and you so deserve it
at 2:41 pm
very good interview from Layla.even if her return was not given the proper reaction,she deserves this title.
now let´s have a Layla vs Kharma to give Layla hopefully the credibility as a champion.

<3 but interesting that when Layla cries it's lovely (which it is), but when Kelly did it was typecasted as being "fake".

Lmao! Sometimes you just have to let stuff like that go because NONE of them can give you a reasonable answer…Pure BS would come out.

You ever had ANYTHING where you had to work hard dude?
Serious here. When an ACL operation happens.. basically the WHOLE muscle around the knee dies!! I can imagine the hard work it has to be to gain it back all the months of frustration its hard work. Layla’s emotions are real here. Its tears of hard work paying off!
Not dropping anything on Kelly nor am I saying you have to be injured to make hard work happen. In fact despite me being a none Kelly fan..I admit she does work very hard in the ring she wants to be good in the ring and I respect that about her…its just that her win for the Diva’s Championship was so lackluster.
I honestly didnt expect Layla’s return to be this good!!! Not that I doubt her wrestling ability at all, on contrary Layla is pretty awesome in the ring! Didnt expect the love being shown for Layla to be this good by everybody =)

Kelly Kelly = Always very bad overacting.

IMO, Kelly Kelly’s title win moment was more memorable than the match itself. The match was very forgettable, but when she won the title was what made the moment shine, She had been in the company for such a long time, and had came close to winning the Divas title on many different occasions that it was just an very sweet & humble moment for the underdog. I hardly doubt it wasn’t emotional for her. So the whole, Layla > Kelly thing, I just don’t get it, tbh :/

Jhonmarco, you are clearly stupid.
It is obvious Layla had real tears.
I mean just watch Kelly Kelly’s title victory. That is definately a fake crying done by her.
Jhonmarco Reply:

What a intelligent response.
Do you have any proof thet Kelly’s tears were not real? Did she tell you they were fake? Diss her all you want, but winning a title after 5 years in WWE would make anyone emotional.
Sweeney Todd, your past comments speak for themselves.

by the way. Kelly had no tears coming from her eyes, and it looked like she was just making fake crying noises.
Jhonmarco Reply:

Actually her eyes were tearing up. You’re pathetic.

To call Kelly’s tears “fake” and say she was making “fake crying noises,” is both petty and laughable. Seriously, it’s really immature to call the girl out for that. Kelly had a long time coming for her title reign, why would she not be genuinely emotional? Seriously. You can’t say Layla was being genuine and Kelly wasn’t because as JohnMarco stated, you really don’t know. Sorry.

If the Bella twins are still leaving they need to turn someone or multiple people heel.
They have Beth, rosa, Maxine, aj( maybe ) and, Natalya( maybe )
Rosa. and AJ don’t wrestle often/Maxine can’t get off nxt/that leaves (injured) Beth and nattie

Maybe tamina will go heel???..

Judging by the commentary during the Bryan/Sheamus match, AJ is still Face. And judging by her cameo last night it looks like she’ll be going after Daniel Bryan, a Heel. Aksana just turned Heel on Smackdown and Natalya I think turned Heel on NXT.

They can call up someone from FCW.

I must swallow my pride and stick my foot in my mouth. All you Layla fans who would’nt shut the HELL UP about her maybe returning at Extreme Rules clearly wernt far wrong. Pffft.

Its good that you dont bro ;)
Cause nobody likes THAT GUY that ruins the fun

Haha (:3) Fact is, the alternative was probably Kelly winning it or Beth struggling with injury so it was a welcome twist.
I just want Kharma already. I want to hear her music, hear the applause, some implants to be busted!
at 4:23 pm
I’m fine with Layla returning and winning. The WWE likes to surprise their fans and they did. I love Layla’s new moveset… (She needs a new theme song as well)… Up until this past Monday the division was pretty much predictable. Now things are picking up and I’m not so sure anymore which is good. I’d love to see Naomi vs Layla!!! Both of their movesets are sick
at 4:38 pm
How do you put a picture up on here??? HELPP

Glad Layla’s back I missed it was getting kinda boring while she was gone I wish they would change her entrance music already.
at 5:35 pm
The Diva’s princess has returned in a big way, can’t help but support her I just hope they give her some heels to fight. Kharma vs. Layla is too soon. Have her feud with Eve or Natalya. Turn someone else heel and let Layla shine. Its been a year she has a lot of catching up to do
at 5:51 pm
Aw, Layla is so adorable <3 I'm not all excited for her reign or anything, but I'll give it a chance because you never know what WWE has for her in store. It is good to see her back though, spices things up with a returning face back in the Divas division again.
at 6:17 pm
I’m happy that she won the title but it still doesn’t seem right, in the sense that it felt like Layla just left our TV screens for a year, came back and won the title.
Yes, we know that she tore her MCL and ACL, but it just felt like Layla fell off the face of the Earth since her injury. Other than the one picture she posted last year on Twitter of her knee, we didn’t see the progress (at least, I didn’t.)
I think it would’ve been more effective if we saw the process that she went through to get better. In this video, she says that she trained 3-4 hours per day, 5 days per week. If WWEFanNation would’ve recorded her going through training and letting us see her struggles, this could’ve been a more fulfilling victory.

Thats what i wanted wwe to do…they’ve never followed any diva on her return from injury….
at 6:29 pm
Given that Beth’s written out and if the Bellas are leaving, that leaves a lack of heels for her to feud with. Eve could put herself as number one contender given her power and a feud could go from there or if Kharma is returning, she could take out the Bellas tonight (if she indeed is returning this soon) and then target Layla because she has the title. And Layla could want revenge on Kharma because they could always say Kharma attacking her on the Smackdown she was last seen on made her injury worse.

I Am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Happy That My Layla Is Back Have Missed her and i am very very happy that she is the divas champ plus she looked sexy
at 8:13 pm
Congrats to Layla, but I still think Nikki’s reign should of lasted longer, if not, they could have not given the championship to her.
at 11:11 pm
im so so so happy and excited for layla…i cant wait to see how they build layla up as a singles competitor and champion….this reign is different from the unified reign,for me the night was amazing! as my all time favioute Diva is back and is the Divas champion!!! i love you Layla!!!! make me proud to be British! lol xxx

Love Layla, happy she’s back. Can’t believe it’s been so long. I would enjoy watching her feud with Natalya, Beth,Tamina and AJ (AJ especially for some reason)
