Raw Redux (January 9th, 2012): Naomi and Friends Debut, But It’s All About ZaEve and the Epic Flat Tire Fiasco!

So here we are once again, and I, your Khaleesi, is putting her fingers to the keyboard and doing her first Redux of 2012. I want to extend my gratitude to my sweet little Bobbita who filled in for me last week and wrote a Redux so beautiful it nearly made me weep tears of … Read more

Best Moments from 2011: Kelly Kelly Defends the World Heavyweight Championship

As 2011 draws to a close, the Diva Dirt writers have each picked a personal highlight to reminisce on the year gone by. Today: Cryssi shares her best moment from 2011 — Kelly Kelly defending the World Heavyweight Championship in a main event match on SmackDown with LayCool, Dolph Ziggler and Edge. My moment of … Read more

Raw Redux (December 26th, 2011): The Divas Get Loads of Screen Time. Christmas Miracles Are Real.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to those of you still celebrating. As always, I am your Khaleesi, the one and only Cryssi, some people call me Cryssi Cryssi (when I’m drunk, usually), and today I’m bringing you a Redux full of Christmas cheer. I realize that we celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ on Sunday, … Read more

Raw Redux (December 19th, 2011): Alicia Scores a Win, Beth Scores a Bruise, Rosa Rocks and We Have Bellas & Vickie Too!

Due to the fact that I’ve basically been in a coma for the last 12 hours or so, watching Raw live last night was something that didn’t exactly happen for me. I’m sure the majority of you have already seen it, formed thoughts about it, and are so excited to read my thoughts on it … Read more

Raw Redux (December 12th, 2011): Well, At Least We Got Lita!

I can honestly say that this will NOT be a Slammy Award worthy edition of the Raw Redux, but if Zack Ryder can win a Slammy for simply trending on Twitter (that was so not scripted, right??), then anything is possible. Alas, I’m not going to hold my breath and coincidentally, there’s really not a … Read more

Raw Redux (December 5th, 2011): The Rightful Number One Contender Question Continues to Fester

As if Raw wasn’t already confusing enough with all these EPIC Diva matches to catch up with (who can forget the 48-second instant classic a few weeks ago?!), things got even more dramatic this week when Eve Torres finally returned to the ring, having last been seen eating a top rope Glam Slam, to team … Read more

Raw Redux (November 21st, 2011): Bam! Bam! It Is What It Is, But What’s Next?

Once upon, in a land far away, two Divas stood backstage, viciously playing the new WWE ’12 video game. Kelly Kelly, clad in designer jeans, jerked and yanked at her controller, while she played herself on said video game. Alicia Fox stood at her side, direwolf absent from the top of her head. She was … Read more

Raw Redux (November 14th, 2011): So Yeah, That’s How They Build a Title Match…

Welcome everyone to the ‘blink and you missed it!’ edition of the Raw Redux! I’m doing my best to sound completely peppy, because if I don’t try and fake it, I’ll end up drowning myself in vodka and Red Bull while listening to depressing emo music courtesy of my favorite local indie bands at the … Read more

Raw Redux (October 31st, 2011): Is There Really a Title Needed For This?

I’ll be honest, it took me a good minute to find the motivation to begin this Redux. Lack of motivation had nothing to do with the fact that the Divas were in Halloween costumes, or the fact that the entire match was predicted by yours truly in last week’s Redux. It had absolutely NOTHING to … Read more

Raw Redux (October 24th, 2011): Alicia Fox Brings the Fierce with a Surprise Victory

If you’re anything like me (and if you’re not, you should be) then you came away from Vengeance on a Diva high, having thoroughly enjoyed the Beth Phoenix and Eve Torres title match. It was hands down the best match of Eve’s career, as well as my personal favorite Diva match this year. Both girls … Read more

Raw Redux (October 17th, 2011): The New Challenger Makes a Bold Statement

It’s that time again. Time for another awesome rendition of the Raw Redux! This week, our match features Eve Torres and Natalya in singles competition while Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix are at ringside, and it came with a surprise announcement of a match this upcoming Sunday at Vengeance. Beth will defend against Eve, in … Read more

Raw Redux (October 10th, 2011): A Refreshing Match But What Was the Point?

This week’s Raw was pretty lackluster in terms of storyline continuation and just overall performance, and honestly it has nothing to do with the ladies involved. We were actually treated to a fresh new match-up that I kind of enjoyed, but there was something lacking. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but lets just … Read more

Raw Redux (October 3rd, 2011): Kelly Kelly Snaps, But So Does the Entire Roster Apparently

This week I’m taking a different approach to the Redux. As I’m writing, I’m watching Raw for the first time so this is going to be sort of a live, running commentary. You’re going to get my first hand reaction at all the things going on as they happen. It’s either going to be epic, … Read more

Raw Redux (September 26th, 2011): What Do Bangs, Hot Tags & Lawsuits Have in Common? WWE Divas, Of Course!

Beth Phoenix. Natalya. Kelly Kelly. Eve Torres. Vickie Guerrero. Dolph Ziggler. These six people are Redux regulars every week. Personally, I think we should just give Ziggler his own honorary tag, but that’s something that the other team members keep ignoring me on. I can’t imagine why, but nonetheless, our fantastic six were once again … Read more

Raw Redux (September 19th, 2011): Vickie Guerrero Takes Over Raw… and There’s a Tag Match Too

So last night Raw turned into the Vickie Guerrero show, and no one is complaining! Mrs. Fierce did her thing last night in the most amazing way possible and personally, I couldn’t be happier. Vickie has morphed herself into one of the best personalities, male or female, in the WWE right now and seeing her … Read more

Raw Redux (September 5th, 2011): Natalya Rips Kelly While Beth Becomes Number One Contender

This past Sunday, all hell broke lose on Twitter as several of the Divas used the social networking site to their advantage to express their opinions over a certain controversial article posted by WWE.com. To say things got out of hand would be an understatement, but it left us fans on the edge of our … Read more

Raw Redux (August 29th, 2011): A Little Twin Magic Takes The Bellas To Victory

Perhaps it’s the psychotic fan girl inside of me, but in my opinion Raw was complete garbage last night. I realize that I have a slightly biased opinion but I can say with all honesty that the Divas were one of the very few bright spots. Sure, you can make the case that you’re sick … Read more

Raw Redux (August 22nd, 2011): A Solid Match And One Wicked Love Triangle Make For A Perfect Edition of Raw

Sunshine and rainbows. Puppies and kittens. Raindrops on roses. These are just a few of my favorite things. And last night, my favorite things gained another addition; soap-opera like editions of Monday Night Raw. In my humble opinion, randomocity makes the world a better place and Raw had a little bit of everything this week. … Read more

Raw Redux (August 15th, 2011): Kelly’s Winning Streak Rubs Off on Eve, Stephanie is Back, Vickie and Swagger?!

What a fantastic 48 hours for the WWE as a whole, as well as the Divas. A lot of us doubted that the ‘E could keep their momentum after Money in the Bank, but they’ve certainly proven me wrong, and I hope all of you as well. SummerSlam provided us with the return of the … Read more

Raw Redux (August 1st, 2011): Beth Turns Heel While Vickie Continues to Bring the Fierce

When Raw has a good showing three important things happen; angels start to sing, a unicorn sprouts fairy wings and begins to fly, and I get to write a happy Redux. Last night, Raw had a good showing, and I found myself incredibly excited to talk about the show, and write about it. So lets … Read more

Raw Redux (July 18th, 2011): 45 Seconds of Pure Diva Action… Heck Yes!

Sigh. Well, this week’s Redux is going to be short, sweet, and to the point. Even I can’t work magic from a 45 second encounter. For some ungodly reason, the WWE decided to throw all the Divas onto the show and we got a ridiculous seven Diva tag match. All I can say is thank … Read more

Raw Redux (July 11th, 2011): There’s No Difference Between Malnourished And Malnurtured, Right?

Oh, except according to Dictionary.com, Malnurtured is not really a word. Oh Brie Bella. If my face were an emoticon, it would be the frown face one.

Yes, it’s me. Not only am I the resident Khaleesi of Diva Dirt Live, I’m also your Raw Redux writer, at least for this week. I’ve overthrown Steven, high-jacked his Redux, and now I ‘m going to grace the minds of each and every reader with my opinions of what went down this week. You’re absolutely on the edge of your seats, aren’t you? It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written one of these thanks to the lack of action of SmackDown, as well as, an out of town trip on my part. Forgive me if it isn’t up to my usual low standards. I’m just giving you all fair warning.

We all follow the Bella twins on Twitter, right (twitter.com/thebellatwins)? Earlier in the night they teased that they were going to reveal the truth about Diva’s Champion, Kelly Kelly, which I reckon was their way of building heat for the Brie versus Kelly title match this Sunday at Money In The Bank. It followed a match featuring the rarely seen Diva known as Melina, who took on the champ. There is also a random guest appearance by Eve Torres. Lets take a look at how everything went down, shall we?

Raw comes back from break with Melina in the ring, playing to the crowd. If you’re anything like me, you were shocked by this (not to mention overjoyed, estatic, happy, insert other adjective here…), and the moment was cut short when they switched to the Bella twins over at the commentary booth. Brie, and Nikki Bella, are being their wonderful selves. We have all the makings of an epic Diva segment, right?!

SmackDown Redux (June 17th, 2011): Two Minutes of Wrestling Is Better Than A Chorus Line

Yes… I went there.

I think it’s fair to say that this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw was nothing more than a big ole mess. Fourteen divas, one ring, and no time is never a good combination but when things end up with a chorus line or a kick line, or whatever the hell you want to call it, it’s just not good for anyone involved. I can only thank the wrestling gods high in squared circle heaven for sparing at least seven of the girls the utter humiliation of just looking dumb. As far as the other seven… well, at least three of them got a chance to redeem themselves on SmackDown. The war between the heels and the faces continued on this Friday and we finally got our six Diva tag team match. Natalya joined her rookie pals, AJ and Kaitlyn, to take on Tamina, Alicia Fox, and Rosa Mendes. Will the heels reign supreme or will the faces carrying their kick line momentum to another victory?

Like usual, we kick things off with the entrances and rather than just letting us see the face entrance, we get the heel entrance this week as well. Alicia, Tamina, and Rosa come out to Alicia’s music and they stand in the ring with their bitch faces on while the faces make their way to the ring. I also thank the wrestling gods for not letting me hear AJ’s theme again, and if all she ever does is tag with and use Natalya’s music from here on out… I’m okay with that. Anyway, the faces pose for the crowd and it’s decided that Alicia and Kaitlyn will begin.
