... Maryse! In a flip-flop of last year's top two, the two time Divas Champion has replaced Melina at the apex of this year's 50 Sexiest Divas countdown, thwarting the current Divas Champion's chances of a three-peat. Maryse was last year's #2, narrowly coming behind Melina and this year, narrowly beating Melina. In 2008, she ranked at #15 on the countdown. This year's chart saw more votes than ever. 15,000 votes were cast over the course of the competition. Also making the top 10 is Mickie James, holding onto her #3 spot from last year, despite being released earlier this year. Mickie's charting ...
After weeks and weeks of pointless speculation, outlandish theories, and minor spoilers from other Knockouts, Tara finally showed her actual face on TNA television again. Absolute SHOCK reigned supreme in the Impact Zone and I'm sure I wasn't the only person scratching my head at the dramatic turn of events! The announcers even seemed amazed. I mean hello! Tara is back and she's helping the woman who ended her career no less! It's mind boggling. It's truly baffling. It's more confusing that a statistical lecture in an 8am psychology class. It's TNA! And in TNA, things don't have to make ...
After thirteen weeks of straight up drama, season two of NXT finally reached it's conclusion last night. The show delivered in every aspect you could think of, and for us Diva fans, Christmas certainly came early this year! The amazing finale had surprises, unexpected announcements that kept us on our toes the entire night, tears, beatdowns, and one winner who probably deserved it more than the others. So how exactly did last night's show pan out? Well read on and find out for yourself! Ashley Valence, who is more often than not missing in action, is in the ring tonight and ...
The NXT cast for season three has been revealed! A picture leaked (see above) before tonight's NXT broadcast could even end shows that the cast will consist of six Divas: AJ Lee, Aksana, Aloisia, Jamie Keyes, Maxine and Naomi. Profiles on all six rookies below: * AJ Lee: 23-year old AJ, real name April Jeanette, was signed by WWE last spring. Prior to WWE, she had been working on the independent circuit as Miss April.

Last week on Monday Night Raw, BFF co-champs, LayCool told Melina they had an "offer she simply can't refuse" for the 900th episode of Raw. As promised, LayCool appeared on Raw to inform the Divas Champion of their offer, but not before taking her on in a tag team match. Watch below as LayCool face off against Eve and the Divas Champion, Melina: We come from commercial to find LayCool already in the ring, checking their reflections in their belts. (Belt? Half-belts?) Out next is the team of Melina and Eve, and LayCool welcome their fellow champ by running that 'Lady ...
Diva Dirt reader, Jay, attended the Raw brand house show in Arecibo, Puerto Rico today. Check out his report below:
Ted DiBiase (with Maryse) vs Goldust
Ted and Maryse generated a lot of heat. Maryse was in her bitchy type of personality and she stole Ted and Goldust’s spotlight as she ripped up a “You Suck” sign post. She also slapped Goldust and hit (or tried to hit) a photographer with her shoes. Goldust won when Ted accidentally knocked Maryse off the apron. Goldust took advantage and used the Last Call.Eve came out and asked a fan where WrestleMania 27 will be held and since she answerd correctly, she got to ring the bell for the Divas Championship match.
Alicia Fox vs Melina for the Divas Championship
An okay match. It was just that the girls took a little bit too much time to get started, as Alicia posed a few times around the ring. Melina got a huge reaction from the crowd. Melina used her old bulldog split for the win.The Usos vs The Hart Dynasty
I was wearing a Hart Dynasty t-shirt so they pointed at me a lot (lucky me). Natalya is very active as a manager as she tries her best to get the crowd behind them. She hit a beautiful clothsline on Tamina when she was going to get involved. Tamina mainly consoled the Usos when they were outside (other than trying to get involved). Dynasty celebrated their win. I liked the match a lot.Eve went out once again to throw some t-shirts.
Former TNA Knockouts Champion, Tara was revealed to be the woman under the biker helmet — and mask — on tonight’s episode of Impact, thus concluding the greatest mystery in all of women’s wrestling. *Cough*
It’s been an interesting, yet bumpy story over the past few months for Tara, real name Lisa Marie Varon. In April, the three-time champion announced that she would be leaving TNA at the end of her contract in May as the two sides couldn’t reach a new deal. In storyline, she put her career on the line against Madison Rayne at May’s Sacrifice pay per view, coming out on the losing end of a ‘Title vs Career’ match.
It’s thought that right before the Sacrifice pay per view in May, Varon reached a new deal with Dixie Carter personally. The event went as planned with Tara ‘retiring’ as TNA thought up a way to bring her back in future.
They did just that as in July, she returned as ‘Mystery Biker Chick’ at TNA’s Victory Road pay per view, attempting to aid Madison Rayne to retain the Knockouts Championship.
It’ll be interesting to see how they explain Tara’s return and alliance with Rayne, who seemingly ended her TNA career a few months back.
tWelcome back, Tara!
Contrary to what was originally reported, the Knockouts match at No Surrender will be a grudge match between Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky, as announced on Impact.
The match is being billed as the first ever singles match between the two former tag team partners.
No Surrender airs on pay per view this Sunday.
Get your weekly dose of Knockout action on tonight’s Impact. To watch, tune into Spike TV at 9pm ET.
Discuss the show in the comments!
TNA President, Dixie Carter has announced a live edition of Impact on October 7th via her Twitter page. She writes:
TNA iMPACT! is going LIVE on 10/7. Remember my tweet about how TNA is going to change forever? Stay tuned.
I’m not sure if this is a permanent weekly switch or just this episode. Guess we’ll know more soon.
It appears that former WWE star, Luna Vachon, who passed away last Friday, was offered an appearance at TNA’s Hardcore Justice pay per view last month. Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer writes:
Luna Vachon had been asked to appear at the Hardcore Justice PPV. When Mick Foley found out that her home had burned down, he suggested bringing her in to manage Tommy Dreamer against Raven, since in 1995, during the original Raven vs. Dreamer feud, Vachon was used as Dreamer’s second to counteract Stevie Richards, who was Raven’s second. Vachon turned the gig down, citing that she had retired.
It would’ve been great to see Luna have that one last appearance. What a sad twist of fate that she would pass away just a few weeks later.
TNA Knockouts Champion, Angelina Love thanked fans via her MySpace page as news came out on Monday that her reunion with Velvet Sky was the highest rated quarter hour of Impact last Thursday night. She wrote:
HUGE thanks to all the fans that watched TNA Impact last week and made the reuniting of the original Beautiful People the highest rated segment on the show!!!!
As we reported Monday, the segment scored a 1.15 rating.
Once again, congrats to Angelina and Velvet. It’s a pretty promising time for the Knockouts, who are once again scoring the highest rated segments on Impact, and the Divas with NXT 3 starting up next week.
Thanks to Chris for the tip.
