The Brunette Mafia came out to the ring with a purpose tonight at WrestleMania 27: To take out a hit on Lay-Cool and Dolph Ziggler and that’s exactly what they did.
Surprising the world, Snooki showed off her incredible athleticism, winning the match with a very impressive handspring backbump followed by a handspring splash on Michelle McCool.
Cryssi reportingwith live notes from WrestleMania at the Georgia Dome.
* Reaction to Beth and Khali was ‘eh’.
* The Bella Twins and Hornswoggle got a good reaction.
WrestleMania is here! Will Stratusfaction be delivered? Will Snooki serve up some ‘Jersey’? Or will Lay-Cool prove to be flawless? The Diva Dirt team weigh in…
April: I am going to have to say that this WeestleMania is going to be the year of the brunettes. Trish Stratus, Snooki & John Morrison are going to take the win on this one. WWE wouldn’t hype up the return of a class act Diva and the addition of a “celebrity” if they couldn’t win it. Plus, on the experience side, I think Trish has it. You mix her with the crazy in-ring style of Morrison and it is bound to be fantastic. I love Lay-Cool and Dolph Ziggler but I have a feeling they’re going fall victim to the power of the Snook this time.
Mr Glamazon’s friend Jamie attended WrestleReunion in Atlanta earlier today and sent in the following news and notes:
* Lita and Mickie James were drawing the largest amount of interest for the females.
* “I waited about 30 minutes for Lita,” says Jamie. She was late because she went to the wrong Marriott.
Mr Glamazon’s friend Jamie spotted and took a picture with Amy ‘Lita’ Dumas today at WrestleReunion. Check it out below: [nggallery id=482]

The show was supposed to feature a dream match between Del Rey and Mickie James, but due to her separated shoulder at a TNA house show a few weeks ago, James was unable to compete.

ROH’s second iPPV this afternoon features SHIMMER Tag Team Champions Tomoka Nakagawa and Daizee Haze defending against Ayumi Kurihara and Hiroyo Matsumoto.
The Embassy come out and Prince Nana says he and Princess Mia have come all the way from Ghana. He calls her the prettiest woman in the world. Nana introduces the newest member of the Embassy — Dave Taylor.
Former WWE Women’s Champion, Amy ‘Lita’ Dumas announced on Twitter that she will be at WrestleMania 27 Fan Axxess today.
She wrote: “Headed over to the Georgia Dome for Fan Axxcess to broadcast live with Project 96-1 WKLS. Come find me!”
Dumas lives in Atlanta, but up until now hadn’t been announced for any WWE events. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amy is at the Hall of Fame tonight or backstage at ‘Mania tomorrow.
Perhaps also interestingly, Trish Stratus mentioned in our interview that she’s working on doing something very cool this coming Monday on Raw. Pure speculation on my part, but Trish & Lita vs Lay-Cool would certainly fit the bill!

Natalya really has some wonderful words for Trish Stratus, citing her as the reason she wanted to become a WWE Diva. Watch that interview below:
