Raw Redux (March 8th, 2010): All About Eve
After last week's moving tribute to womankind, I was bracing myself for the worst with this week's show. Surprisingly, the WWE decided to put on a straight wrestling match rather than mold the Divas action to guest GM Criss Angel's gimmick, and for that I'm grateful. But was the match anything to write home about? Let's see:
Eve Torres, Gail Kim and Kelly Kelly make their way to the ring for a 6-Diva Tag Team match. I guess it's been a while since we've seen one of those, though I hav...

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...
In Pictures: Kelly Pulls Up in Her Red Dress for ‘Character Approved’ Awards
Who's that sexy, classy chica and what has she done with bejewelled bra wearing Kelly Kelly? Kelly, along with the Big Show, attended USA Network's second annual 'Character Approved' Awards and well, let's just say we approve!
Foxy Kelly is wearing the hell out of this dress and looks incredibly elegant and glamorous. Love it!

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, ...
NXTeams: Diva & Rookie Duos for WWE NXT
WWE has announced the pro and rookie duos for it's new series, WWE NXT to debut next Tuesday but quite unsurprisingly, it doesn't seem this 'season' will feature any Divas. Boo! The show will feature 'WWE Pros' teaming up with 'Rookies' as their mentors throughout the series. So we decided to come up with our own pro/rookie team suggestions for NXT. WWE, please feel free to steal and put them into practice.
AJ Lee & Melina
Pro: Melina. Three-time Women's Champion, one time Divas Champi...
Raw Redux (Feb. 15th, 2010) – The Mystery of the Missing Divas Championship Tournament
If last week's Raw was lacking in terms of build-up to the Divas Championship Tournament finals, this week was downright moronic. With Maryse and Gail Kim's long-delayed match still set for this Sunday's Elimination Chamber PPV, one would be safe to assume that there would be at least some build up for it on the last Raw before the show. Just a little? Maybe even merely acknowledging it? Well, keep your hopes at ground level, kids, because the WWE disappointment machine was on full power thi...
Raw Redux Does WWE Superstars (Feb. 4th, 2010): An Unfamiliar Sight
Another week, another Raw Divas match on WWE Superstars. This week, we've got another tag team match: Eve Torres and Kelly Kelly vs. Alicia Fox and Katie Lea. Can Katie Lea score her first win in quite a while, or will the flashy faces prevail? Watch the match below:
Alicia and Eve start the match with a tie-up, Alicia taking control and turning a side headlock into a hip toss. She holds the headlock on Eve, despite her fight for momentum. Alicia eventually gets to her feet and is sho...
