Tonight at Genesis, a five-woman gauntlet match will determine the number one contender for Tara’s Knockouts Championship, but who will it be? The Diva Dirt team weigh in…
Bobby: I love that they’re doing something different for the pay per view tonight as opposed to a title match, but I will admit that I wish there were more participants in the gauntlet. No clue why Madison Rayne isn’t involved, but I’m pretty much 95% a believer that Velvet Sky takes the win tonight. She and Tara haven’t really had that big pay per view type feud compared to the other four, and especially just off her return, I can’t see anyone else attaining the victory.
Jack: To me, this has a Velvet win written all over it. I guess her car accident may have been why she’s been off TV for a few weeks as you wouldn’t have someone return just to sit on the sidelines. They could have just booked it horribly I guess. But then again, this has a Mickie win written all over it as well. She does do amazing in gauntlet matches and after the lazy feud she’s just finished/still having with Tara, what a way to re-affirm her status as number one contender. However, because Mickie turns heel in my dreams and feuds with Velvet, I’m going to say Velvet Sky will win this one.
Katelyn: I feel like Gail, Mickie, ODB and Brooke have all had their chance in the spotlight recently (with both Mickie and Brooke riding on some pretty good momentum right now) but I pick Velvet Sky</b to take the win. She's back and she's on a mission to reclaim the title she didn't even get to hold for a full month. A big win on pay-per-view would properly kickstart her return to the company.
Melanie: With a longer wait in between pay per views, logically, whoever wins tonight will start up a feud with Tara heading into March’s Lockdown pay per view. I definitely see Velvet’s comeback trail beginning tonight. Velvet Sky wins.
Who do you think will win? Weigh in by commenting!

I know Gail is a heel but I really want to see her as the winner, Tara and her really know how to put on great matches, but… I can see Velvet winning this.

On my opnion the winner il be Mickie James because of her recente wins over Tara in Tag Team Action but on the time that Mickie will cash her title match Velvet ill be on the match too and il win the title turning Mickie heel

I want Velvet to win for a Mickie James heel turn!
at
Just because velvet said 2013 is her year doesn’t mean she going to win so i say Mickie or Odb by a suprise

I want it to come down to Mickie and Velvet. With them eliminating each other turning into a triple threat feud and Mickie turning heel growing tired of velvet

^ This would be awesome.

i am thinking velvet sky though i really want to see velvet as a singles heel competitor so i am hoping she cheats mickie out if the victory.

TNA could just go with something different since everyone is rooting for Velvet and have Tessmacher win

I Love Mickie James But I Think Her Time Has Gone So I Think It Will Be Miss Tessmacher or Velvet Sky.

Velvet is going to win. Even though she doesn’t deserve to.

I too see Velvet picking up the win, but would love to see Madison Rayne make an appearance in some type of capacity during the match.

I see Mickie thinking she won and then Velvet wins. Mickie gets pissed. But in a twist, Velvet is the one who turns heel, claiming Mickie is a fat jealous pig. (Just my predictions.)

As much as i want ODB to win (That fued she had going with Tara/Jesse seems to have been conviently forgotten about) this match has got VELVET SKY written all over it.
Out of the 5 KOs in the match, 3, Brooke Tessmacher, Gail & Velvet, are on the UK tour alongside Tara. So a 3 way fued right there.

This match has a name, Velvet -Botch- Sky.
In my opinion, she didn’t deserve the title. Ok, she has been with TNA since day 1, and her first reign was too short, but come on, she’s so boring with the title and without it. Being serious, all the stuff she does, is what the big part of us, at least me, didn’t like of Kelly Kelly, overrated girl that scream and moves her ass.
I’m a big fan of Mickie James since her WWE debut, and I’m with her, but I don’t see her picking the win, altough she’s with Gail and ODB the best of the match.
So, if Mickie doesn’t win, I really hope to see ODB as the winner of the match, she has charisma and wrestling skills, ¡BOOM!.

I want mickie james to win! And have velvet turn into a heel & mickie destroy her

Ok honestly I want Velvet to win. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE Mickie James and she is one of my all time faves but I am kinda tired of all the big pushes she keeps getting honestly she doesn’t need to be Knockouts champ again. She had huge major pushes in WWE and she has had them in TNA as well. She is a former 5-time Womens champ, Divas champ, and a 2-time Knockouts champ. So she doesn’t really need another huge major push with the Knockouts title. Just my opinion.

Ok is this the type of gauntlet where you are eliminated by being thrown over the top rope, or where your opponent has to pin you?
at
Bad Booking. Gail is heel, Champion Tara is heel. It was clear that Velvet wins.

Holy bold.
