Former Divas & Women’s Champion, Melina has become one of the most talked about Divas on the Internet in the past week, a fact that is alluded to in her latest blog on the WWE Universe website. From her comments on Eve Torres’ Divas Title win to comments exchanged between her and former Diva Maria Kanellis, stemming from our interview with the latter, you have all been buzzing about the A-List Diva. And given that she is out with an injury and not even on TV at the moment, the buzz is all the more impressive. Melina certainly knows how to get the world talking!
However, also in her latest blog, the former champion discusses her fellow Divas individually, in what she describes as being almost like a yearbook. Read below:
We all know Jillian is my best friend. I treasure her with all of my heart and she has such great talent. I wish everyone could see. My heart wants to show the world what she is capable of, what a wonderful woman she is and how much she contributes to not only wrestling but the people around her. I want to give her everything she deserves in wrestling and in life. I am blessed to have her in mine.
Mickie is always so bubbly and chipper! She cracks me up. I am so proud of her on so many levels and I am thankful to know her and have her in my life as well. Her work speaks for itself and I can not tell you enough how I loved having our feud together as well as having her as my partner. She’s my Mick’ James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beth is an incredible woman who’s work also shines. Just like Mickie and Jillian, her beauty is incomparable and stands out. I absolutely loved working with her. There is no one in this company like her and it is so beautiful to see. I am so proud of their work on SD and I am a fan of it!
Gail. I have the Utmost respect for everything she has gone through and accomplished. She is a remarkably talented woman and person. It would be an honor to have a singles match with her. I truly hope that I get the opportunity.

Women’s Champion, Michelle McCool and her now former rival, Mickie James dusted off their heated feud for one more outing this week on an edition of SmackDown from London. And the result was perhaps one of the best Divas matches on TV so far this year. It’s no secret that Michelle has rarely wrestled a singles match on SmackDown in the past few months but I guess an international TV taping is a good a reason as any. Watch below:
So, Mickie is back from her little hiatus due to injury and she’s back in the ring with the woman who took the Women’s Championship from her back in February. Despite having surgery and everything, Mickie was on fine form as she skipped and hopped to the ring for her match followed by McCool with Layla and Vickie Guerrero in tow.
The former Women’s Champion gives McCool a little sly wink as she steps onto the ring apron for her signature pose, suggesting that she has not forgotten any of the animosity between them. As the bell rings and the match begins, the two Divas lock up but it’s Michelle who gets the better of the exchange, using her leverage to hit sort of an overhead throw on her. The arrogant champion then segues into press ups which become one-legged press ups, as Layla and Vickie cheer her on. Much to her surprise though, Mickie drops down opposite her and struts her stuff too leading to a nice showdown. Michelle looks surprised and confused as she says, “I didn’t know she could do that” to the crowd. Best to keep your eyes on your opponent Michelle, as James hit a great low dropkick on the champ and goes for the pin but no three count. Mickie goes for another pin attempt, this time sweeping the legs and jumping into a bridge but Michelle kicks out yet again.
