WWE Superstars Redux (December 9th, 2010): Eve Moonsaults to Victory

Melanie

The Knockouts weren’t the only ones in the main event picture last night. Though obviously less prestigious (this is WWE Superstars after all!), former Divas Champions do battle this week on Superstars, Alicia Fox takes on Eve Torres Watch below:

Oh hey there, Ashley Valence! The short-lived NXT co-host has resurfaced and found herself on ring announcing duties on Superstars after a couple of months of brushing up in FCW. Not a bad job.

Eve is out first and is referred to as ‘Steve Torres’ on commentary by CM Punk. Umm, I’m not even going to touch that.

After Alicia comes out, it’s go time as the Divas get off to an iffy start before Eve rolls across Alicia’s back in a back body drop attempt and counters into an armdrag. Nice maneuver by Torres. After another arm drag, Eve applies an arm-lock on Alicia as the Foxy Queen tries to fight out before eventually whipping Eve into the corner. Eve uses the bottom rope to help elevate her into a kick but Alicia ducks and then slams her against the canvas by the hair. Fox grabs her by the hair and again slams her against the mat before hitting her with knee strikes across the face and we see a near fall. Punk, meanwhile, cracks a joke that some days he wants to propose to Eve & others he wants to hit her with a shovel. Yikes!

Spoilers for the December 23rd and 30th Impact below:

Spoiler
December 23rd:
* Backstage Sarita is beating up Velvet Sky and yelling at her. Sarita is using her belt to whip and choke her. Velvet makes some comebacks but is mostly beaten bad by Sarita. Sarita eventually hangs Velvet by the belt. Angelina finally runs in for the save.

* Finals of the Knockouts Tag Tournament, Madison Rayne & Tara vs. The Beautiful People. Velvet is nowhere to be seen. She’s probably too hurt from the attack. Winter comes out towards the end to be Angelina’s tag partner. She gets tagged in and cleans house. Winner via catatonic to Madison from Winter and new Knockouts Tag champions, Winter & Angelina Love.

December 30th:
* Strap Match, Sarita vs. Velvet Sky. Winner is Sarita. She was being choked on Velvet’s back and would hit the turnbuckles as Velvet made her way around. On the 4th one Sarita flipped Velvet over and touched the last turnbuckle. Sarita attacked Velvet after the match but Angelina Love made the save. Velvet was extremely upset afterwards and stormed off in a huff.

* Madison Rayne is out in an evening gown and has four guys in tuxedos with her. They’re carrying her to the ring and open the ropes for her. They all kiss her hand and leave. She screams at everybody to be quiet she has something important to say. She came out to all her adoring fans so they could see what a real champion is. Full of class and elegance, not like some corn fed, poor, country slut. Mickie James comes out and grabs the mic. She says what she’d say might go something like this and hits Madison. She beats her up and then rips Madison’s dress off. Madison bails and makes a run for it.

Xplosion:
* Sarita vs. Miss Tessmacher. Winner via sitout butterfly suplex, Sarita. (Source: Wrestling News World)

Another Knockout Gone from TNA?

Melanie
-
78

While we know that Hamada is definitely gone, a new report in today’s Wrestling Observer suggests that her tag team partner, Taylor Wilde — real name Shantelle Malawski — may also be done with TNA.

The Observer writes: “Wilde’s contract may have expired as well. Was told for now she’s done, but they are open to bringing her back.”

During her time in TNA, Taylor made history as the first Knockout to have held both the Knockouts and Knockouts Tag Team Championships. She held the latter on two occasions: once with Sarita as the first ever champions and most recently with Hamada.

Wilde also recently announced her engagement.

Reported Plans for Melina on Raw

Melanie

Though viewers will have gathered as much from this past Monday’s episode of Raw, there are plans for Melina to turn heel according to the Wrestling Observer.

WWE planted the seeds on Raw this week as the camera cut to Melina walking away as Lay-Cool beat down Natalya following their match.

It’s said that the heel turn will be a ‘slow burn’, resulting in her feuding with Natalya.

The Observer adds: “The idea was first talked about weeks ago and apparently she got heat because there were indications she was negative about it. They instead started a deal where she was going to get back with Morrison, but that was dropped after one week.”

Thoughts: I’m very excited to see where the writers go with this. I’ve been wanting to see Melina turn heel for a while now and honestly, the heel side needs strengthening because they’re relying far too much on Lay-Cool. Melina vs Natalya is a feud that many would like to see. I enjoyed the match this past Monday and think their work together could get even better. As for the ‘heat’, I find the word ‘indications’ to be telling. So she gets heat because someone thinks she’s being negative? I know WWE is less tolerant with its Divas but yeesh.

On this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw, Diva fans were treated to a double-shot of action in the form of a mixed tag match featuring Maryse and Ted DiBiase vs the team of Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan, as well as Natalya vs Melina in a non-title bout. First up, the mixed tag team match:

First out are the power couple of Maryse and Teddy, who have had a bit of tension between them in the past couple of weeks. While the million dollar couple prepare inside the ring, we cut backstage to smiling Nikki Bella, who goes to knock on Daniel Bryan’s dressing room door. However, before she can knock, the door opens and Bryan walks out with Brie Bella on his arm. Nikki asks Brie what she’s doing there and is informed that Brie volunteered to be Daniel’s partner tonight. Nikki smiles as her sister walks off with the U.S champ, but her expression quickly turns sour once they’re out of sight.

Serena Deeb Announced for ROH Final Battle iPPV

Melanie

Former WWE Diva, Serena has been announced as Sara Del Rey‘s tag team partner for ROH’s Final Battle iPPV on December 18th.

The duo will face the team of Daizee Haze and Amazing Kong.

This marks Serena’s return to ROH, as she made a couple of appearances for the company in 2007 and 2008.

ROH sent the following press release:

On November 24th, it was announced that Amazing Kong had stepped up to the plate and allied herself with Daizee Haze for the “Final Battle 2010” tag team match (http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/amazing-kong-steps-up-to-the-plate/). The questions that have been floating around in the weeks since have all been in regards to Sara Del Rey and her partner. Many names have floated around, partners have been speculated upon, but now we have the official word from the self-proclaimed “Queen of Wrestling”.

“I scoured the world.” said Del Rey, “I searched high and low for a woman capable of standing beside me in that ring. Quite honestly, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. It’s almost impossible to find someone who is as good as me, but I found somebody. I found one woman I can trust to stand in my corner and finally shut Daizee’s yapping mouth: Serena Deeb!”

More information here.

Thoughts: This has shaped up to be a must-see match. If ROH can retain Kong and Serena’s services for TV and begin a regular division using these four, the possibilities are endless. ROH could be the one to watch for women’s wrestling in 2011.

Tara Injured at Last Night’s Impact Taping

Former Knockouts Champion, Tara was injured during last night’s Impact taping, suffering a torn ligament in her elbow.

It’s expected that she will be out of action for several weeks, according to F4Wonline.com.

On her Twitter page, Tara wrote: “Tore a ligament in my elbow last night in a match against @mickiejames. It was my good elbow, but we made history. We were main event.”

The match in which she was injured will air this Thursday. From all accounts it was a very, very good match but I won’t spoil the exact details here.

Get well soon, Tara!

Knockout Possibly Gone from TNA

It looks as though Hamada may be gone from TNA.

Diva Dirt initially heard rumblings to that effect last week, however as we were not able to get independent confirmation, we opted not to publish at that time.

We have since learned that TNA is taping a tournament for the Knockouts Tag Team Championships at its tapings this week, which got underway at tonight’s taping to air this Thursday.

It’s beginning to look likely that those rumblings were indeed accurate.

Please note, this isn’t 100% confirmed. We hope to have more soon.

UPDATE: PWInsider reports that Hamada has indeed been released.

TNA Final Resolution in Review: Falls Count Anywhere, Even in the Loo

Erin
-

If you consider the fact that the rivalry between Mickie James and Tara has roots in their time in the WWE, this feud has been going on for a long time. In between these phantom WWE issues and now, there have been countless brawls and a match that ended in a double DQ. It’s inevitable that Mickie will eventually move on to challenge Madison Rayne for the Knockouts Championship, but is tonight really the last stop on the runaway freight train that has been Mickie vs. Tara? Yes, I know runaway trains don’t stop–don’t let that ruin my metaphor. Let’s just watch the events unfold and see if these Knockouts are really ready to move on:

We start with Knockouts champ Madison Rayne being interviewed by Christy Hemme. Madison says there’s no way Mickie’s getting to her or her championship, because she has to get through Tara first, an that’s not going to happen. I can appreciate that they’re not trying to hide the direction in which this feud is headed. Also, is it just me (I mentioned this on Twitter), or does Madison’s dark hair make her resemble Mickie a bit? Do I smell a “long lost sister” Maury-esque twist coming up in this storyline? No? Just me? Anywho, she continues to play up Tara, saying that she’s here to “protect the princess”. Is Madison right–will Tara really protect her, or will she simply be paved into Mickie’s road to Madison?

We’re shown a video package chronicling this feud. Lots of upturned tables and uncomfortable fighting attire. With all the brawling and disqualifications that have come from this feud, this Falls Count Anywhere stipulation really is the best fit. Tara’s out first on her hog, and Mickie follows. Tara exits the ring, gets Mickie to follow, and the match starts on the outside. They trade blows, and Tara tries to climb over the barricade, but gets crotched on it. Whether you’re a lady or a gent, that does not feel good. Mickie goes for the first pin attempt of the match, but Tara kicks out. Mickie continues to beat on Tara, alternating between face smashes on the barricade and face smashes on the ring apron. She tosses Tara back into the ring, climbs the turnbuckle, and takes down Tara with a flying dropkick. She goes for another pin, but Tara wraps her legs around the ropes and forces a rope break.
