In Pictures: Divas Pajama Party
Just when you thought it was okay to stop covering your eyes after Monday's 'Pajama Pillowfight' trainwreck, here's a blistering reminder.
Personally, I find the whole gimmick photoshoot, and the segment on Raw itself, creepy. It sexualises things that are associated with young girls and blurs the boundaries of what's appropriate for supposedly PG viewing.
Nonetheless, you can check out all the pictures here. Who had the best pictures and pajamas? Vote below.

Raw Redux (March 1st, 2010): Welcome to Women’s History Month, Folks
Well, now that we've gotten past that pesky Divas Championship Tournament, it's time to set the division back several years and have a good old fashioned pajama pillow fight. Of course, this is in keeping with this week's guest GMs, Cheech and Chong, not that their names are synonymous with pajamas or pillow fights. I'm just guessing the Divas sitting in a circle and passing around a bong wouldn't have been in keeping with their PG rating. But of course, the Divas looking all jailbait-y whil...
Raw Redux (Feb. 22nd, 2010) – What Took You So Long?
The bait and switch pulled at the Elimination Chamber PPV led many of us to believe that the WWE had bigger plans for the Divas Championship tournament finals. Perhaps a lengthier feud to build up such an important match? No, as it turns out, because they finally decided to have the match on a regular old ordinary episode of Raw. Watch the match below and see if it was worth all the wait:
It definitely surprised me when the Divas Championship logo passed over the screen. But I think, ...
Raw Redux (February 8th, 2010) – An Afterthought
For weeks we've been following the Divas Championship tournament, with all its stops and starts. Two weeks ago we finally made the match-up for the finals, but getting to that match has been harder than it seems. Many of us want the WWE to just get it over with, as it's been obvious from the start that Maryse will be walking away with the title. Thus, it's been some acute form of torture to see the WWE stretch this thing out as long as possible. This week was no different, and on top of it w...
Raw Redux Does WWE Superstars (Jan. 28th, 2010): Predictable Fun
This week we're continuing the trend of the Raw Divas wrestling on WWE Superstars, this time with some lesser-used Divas. Brie and Nikki Bella are teaming up to face the un-crowned JOB Squad of the WWE, Jillian and Katie Lea. Watch the match below:
The Bellas make their entrance, and Jillian and Katie Lea enter together to Jillian's music (how weird is it to see Katie Lea walk out to Jillian warbling? it definitely doesn't fit, to say the least). Brie and Katie Lea start things off, K...
Raw Redux Does WWE Superstars (Jan. 21st, 2010): A Slight Twist
Last week's Superstars Mixed Tag match didn't exactly set the world on fire, and I expressed hope that the WWE would use this program to showcase a weekly Divas match, preferably one-on-one. Well, this week brings hope that they might actually be heading in that direction, as we've got Kelly Kelly taking on Jillian in a singles match. It's certainly a different Diva combination from we've seen lately, so I'm interested in seeing how they'll work together--will it be good, bad, horrific? Chec...
Raw Redux Does WWE Superstars (Jan. 14th, 2010): Half of a Rematch
In what you could consider a partial rematch of last week's Superstars match, Gail Kim is again taking on Jillian, this time in a Mixed Tag Team match--Gail pairing with Primo and Jillian with Chavo Guerrero. Watch the match below:
Primo and Chavo start out the match. Primo dominates Chavo until some dirty tricks put Guerrero in control. Jillian even gets a few boots on Primo while the referee's back is turned. Primo eventually regains control, prompting Chavo to go running to his mom...
Playing the Odds: The Divas Championship Tournament
Feeling lucky? In this new feature we've dubbed Playing the Odds, we will weigh the odds of certain Diva or Knockout events occurring, be it a championship win or heel turn.
We classify each like so: if the event's occurrence is highly unlikely, it gets the Long Shot stamp; if it's within the realm of possibility, it's a Safe Bet; if it is extremely likely, it is a Sure Thing. Now, this does not mean everything we brand a Sure Thing is destined to happen--it just lines up with what we fe...
Raw Redux Does WWE Superstars (Jan. 7th, 2010): Getting Out of the Gate
This past Monday saw the start of an 8-Diva tournament for the Divas Championship, with Maryse advancing into the second round. The tourny continued tonight on WWE Superstars, pitting Gail Kim against Jillian. Who will get one step closer to holding that butterly belt? Watch and see:
Jillian comes down to the ring, headset on. She says how excited she is about this tournament and that she has a good feeling about her chances to go all the way. This reminds her of that Black Eyed Peas ...
