Having trouble keeping up with all of the mainstream women’s wrestling that takes place off TV? Well fear no more! Diva Dirt has got your back with the House Show Roundown! Without any further ado, let’s kick things off!
This week, Raw, SmackDown, and Impact Wrestling were all in action after a few weeks off due to pay per views. On the Raw side, Kelly Kelly defended her Divas Championship against top contender, Beth Phoenix, in a rematch from Summerslam.
SmackDown and TNA both opted for tag team bouts. SmackDown pit AJ & Kaitlyn, against the team of Natalya & Rosa Mendes.
Meanwhile, TNA highlighted Mickie James & Velvet Sky against Angelina Love & Knockouts Champion, Winter.

Mickie James & Velvet Sky def. Angelina Love and Knockouts Champion Winter
“I got to be Velvet Sky’s manager, so I met the Knockouts backstage right before their match. All four were very friendly, and Winter even walked up and said “Hi, my name is Katie.” Earl Hebner wore his “I Did It” t-shirt and Bret Hart sunglasses. Before the match, I spent about ten minutes with Earl, who was awesome to talk to.” (Source)

WWE Raw in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
Kelly Kelly def. Beth Phoenix
“Both girls got very loud pops, especially Kelly. The crowed absolutely loved her and on her way to the ring she stopped and posed with a guy who had an “I came here for Kelly Kelly” sign. Lucky guy. Really similar to their match at Summerslam with Kelly winning with a rollup.” (Source)

Thoughts: Pretty expected matches all around, but it seems like they are really pushing Kelly against Beth at house shows to build their chemistry together, which is working great if SummerSlam is any indication. Their next televised match together should be even better with all of these live events they are getting to work together. SmackDown and TNA look solid as well, in a pair of nice tag matches for the live crowd. All in all, looks like a good weekend loop to attend.
