SmackDown Redux (March 5th, 2010): Diva Power Struggle
Who has the upper hand when you pit Beth Phoenix versus Vickie Guerrero? Looks like we're about to find out. The latest WWE Diva power struggle pits the unlikely 'Diva' Guerrero up against the Glamazon and despite their obvious mismatch in terms of wrestling ability, in all other aspects they're pretty much tit-for-tat. In kayfabe, Guerrero is the authoratative consultant GM for the SmackDown brand -- giving her the right to book matches, make decisions and even fire people. Meanwhile the Glamaz...
WWE Releases New Diva Video Packages Including Beth, Layla, Melina & Michelle
In an update to this post, there are five new Diva video packages on the WWE.com website dedicated to Beth Phoenix, Layla, Melina, Michelle McCool and finally a video bundling together all of the other Divas. They must feel so appreciated. Anyhoo, check out all the clips below:
Beth Phoenix
The longest clip of the bunch, Beth's is nearly two minutes long and concentrates mainly on her awesome Glamazon moments such as smashing Melina against a locker on Raw.
Rest after the cut: (more.....
WWE Divas Reveal Their Dream Match for Women’s History Month
WWE.com is celebrating Women's History Month with some of the WWE Divas revealing their dream match. While most of the picks were the standard 'Trish' or 'Moolah', two of the picks were a little more interesting...
Women's Champion, Michelle McCool would want to face... herself. She says: "There’s really nobody on my level in WWE, past or present. There’s lots of Divas on the roster, but none of them are making history. They’re all just making fools of themselves. I’ve made history ...
SmackDown Redux (February 26th, 2010): A Modern Day Diva Screwjob
Earlier this week, WWE announced that the victim of the 'original screwjob', Wendi Richter would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in April. Coincidence, then, that in the same week another Diva is the victim of a modern day screwjob. That Diva is Mickie James, a who woman who seemingly had the odds stacked against her this week on SmackDown. See the drama unfold below:
The odds didn't look good last week, when Vickie Guerrero announced that Mickie would defend her Women's Champio...
Michelle McCool Regains Women’s Championship
As seen moments ago on SmackDown, Michelle McCool has regained the WWE Women's Championship and is now a two-time holder of the belt.
McCool's win marks the first time in nearly 10 years that the Women's Championship has changed hands on a taped show. The last time this happened was also on an episode of SmackDown when Ivory beat then-champion Lita as well as Jacqueline and Trish Stratus in a fatal four way match on November 2nd, 2000. That show was taped two days prior on October 31st.

In Video: Lay-Cool Celebrate ‘Chamber’ Victory
WWE.com caught up with Michelle McCool and Layla following their big tag team win over Raw last night at Elimination Chamber. Watch below:
Michelle will challenge Mickie James for the Women's Championship on Friday's episode of SmackDown....
Elimination Chamber in Review: Longest. Tournament. EVER.
The never-ending Divas Championship tournament was stretched yet another day as despite advertising the end of the sucker, we were swerved with an interpromotional tag team bout instead. It all went down at last night's Elimination Chamber pay per view where Gail Kim and Maryse were due to go one-on-one for the vacated title. After weeks of embarassingly bad handling of this 'tournament', we were finally ready to be done with it and crown the new champion -- with care so little in supply, as...
SmackDown Redux (February 20th, 2010): A Bit of This, A Bit of That
After concentrating on a single storyline for the past few months, this week's SmackDown felt more in line with the mixed bag that we once saw on SmackDown pre-Diva Trade. There was a little bit of this mixed with a little bit of that and it just felt like WWE were trying to accomplish all too much with the Divas without any real substance to it ala a time when we had Michelle/Melina, Maria/Ziggler and Maria/Melina. It may seem cool to indulge in all of the Divas but after growing accustomed...
SmackDown Redux (February 12th, 2010): Going Around in Circles
After humiliating Michelle McCool and Layla at the Royal Rumble and snaring the coveted Women's Championship on the same night, you'd think the jibes and taunts at Mickie James' expense would be over by now. Wrong. It's evident that SmackDown has hit a creative roadblock as we seem to be going around in circles with little to no new storyline progressio -- same old story. Watch this week's action below:
McCool and Layla once again tease Mickie over her weight at the crafts table where...
