Christina Von Eerie Heading to SHIMMER

November 1, 2011March 2, 2011 by Steven

With less than a month left to go until the tapings, SHIMMER has announced that Christina Von Eerie will make her debut for the company. Billed from California, Von Eerie is perhaps best known for her work for ChickFight and AAA in Mexico. Last year, Von Eerie competed in a tryout match in TNA, teaming … Read more

Raw Redux (February 28th, 2011): The Bella Mafia Dupe Gail, Take Out a Hit on Eve

March 1, 2011 by Steven

After picking up a surprising win over the Divas Champion, Eve, one might think The Bella Twins were in line for a title shot, right? Wrong. On this week’s edition on Raw, The Bellas along with Maryse, Tamina, Alicia Fox, Gail Kim and Natalya take part in a Diva Battle Royal for #1 contendership. Can The Bellas strike gold again and net themselves a shot at the strap or will some other lucky Diva come out on top? Check out the match below:

We kick things off with the champion, Eve, on commentary expressing her thought on the battle royal and facing off with the winner. The official signals for the bell and it’s every woman for themselves. Right off the bat, Natalya grabs Brie Bella and tosses her out of ring, eliminating her. Alicia follows her soon after, also eliminated by Natalya. Meanwhile, Melina knocks Tamina out of the running with a stiff kick to the head.

Raw Redux (February 21, 2011): Bellas Inch Closer to the Butterfly…

February 22, 2011 by Steven

After successfully defending her Divas Championship on last week’s edition of Monday Night Raw against Natalya, it looks Eve is looking to face off against new challengers. This week, Eve teams up with Gail Kim to take on The Bella Twins. Will the dastardly duo use their ‘Twin Magic’ to get one up on the champ, or can Eve and Gail get revenge for the backstage beatdown they received last week?

Check out the match below:

We start things off with all four competitors in the ring and The Bella Twins are busy talking a lot of smack. Hope they can back that up. Before the match starts, we’re treated to a replay of last week’s brawl. I swear, the image of a Bella snatching Eve up by the throat will be forever etched into my memory. With the replay done, the official signals for the bell and our match is underway.

Raw Redux (February 14th, 2011): Eve is a Valentine’s Day Hart-breaker

February 15, 2011 by Steven

After picking up a win over Melina and The Bella Twins on last week’s edition of Raw, Divas Champion Eve had a full head of steam going into her title match on this week’s edition. However, the #1 contender Natalya was looking to settle her tea kettle and relieve her of the belt. That said, the champion and challenger probably didn’t expect the match to be a lumberjill match. How will Natalya and Eve fare with the rest of the roster standing guard outside of the ring? Check out the match below:

We come from commercial to find Natalya in the ring awaiting her opponent, while the lumberjills lined the ring in their Sunday best. Eve makes her way to the ring next to a decent reaction from the crowd. In the spirit of friendly competition, both Divas shake hand and our championship match is underway.

FCW Watch: Kaitlyn and Naomi vs AJ and Rosa

November 1, 2018February 13, 2011 by Steven

On the most recent episode of FCW Wrestling, the NXT 3 top three, plus Rosa Mendes, took the stage in a tag team matchup. Watch below as the FCW Divas Champion, AJ, teams up with the Queen of FCW, Rosa, to face off against Naomi and Kaitlyn: Thoughts: Honestly, I wasn’t really feeling this match. … Read more

Raw Redux (February 7th, 2010): Settle Your Kettle, Michael Cole, Because Natalya’s Whistle is About to Blow!

February 8, 2011 by Steven

On this week’s edition of Raw, WWE gave us yet another tag team match, this time featuring Tamina, Gail Kim and Divas Champion Eve against Melina and The Bella Twins. As an added treat, we got the #1 Contender, Natalya as a special guest commentary. Can Eve pick up her first as the newly crowned champ? Check out the match below and find out:

First out is the babyface team and I can’t take my eyes off Tamina’s gear… but I wish I could. Melina and The Bella Twins are out next, and strangely enough they get separate entrances. I guess WWE were gracious enough to spare a couple of extra seconds for the Divas tonight. We are not worthy.

Raw Redux (January 31st, 2011): Eve Gets the Boot, the Bellas Get the Shove

February 1, 2011 by Steven

After two title matches in the past week, WWE decided to slow things down on this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw and treat us to a tag team match. Watch below as the newly crowned Divas Champion, Eve and the former champ, Natalya face off against Lay-Cool:

Out first is the team of Eve and Natalya. Maybe I’m nitpicking, but there’s something not right about seeing Natalya acting so happy-go-lucky the night after losing her title, especially since she’s teaming with the person who took it from her. You would think she had a chip on her shoulder after the surprise result, but that’s WWE for ya! Babyfaces can have no real emotions except happy and smiley. Out next is Lay-Cool, looking quite upset about not winning the belt at the Royal Rumble. We cut to a backstage segment to see Layla and Michelle blaming each other for their loss, before agreeing to place the blame on the referee. Lay-Cool kiss and make up as we cut back to the ring for the match. Looks like they may be teasing another Lay-Cool split. That said, I’ll believe when I see it.

Raw Redux (January 24th, 2011): Melina Bent in Half, Bella Twins Bent Out of Shape

April 19, 2019January 25, 2011 by Steven

After a confusing edition of Raw last week, WWE had a lot of work to do to get everyone on the same page again. Luckily for us, WWE managed to work almost every Diva (Sorry Eve) into the show and it worked out really well. First up, Melina cashes in her title shot, squaring off with Natalya for the Divas Championship. Check out the match below:

Out first is the challenger, Melina, minus red carpet and paparazzi. Next, Natalya makes her way to the ring, championship belt in tow. The official presents the belt to the audience, signals for the bell and our match is underway. The lovely ladies lock up and Melina gets the upper hand, forcing Natalya to the ropes. The referee breaks them up, but Melina tackles Nattie, sending her flying out of the ring. Melina picks Nattie up off the floor, slaps her across the face (Just one of many slaps to come tonight) and tosses her back in the ring.

FCW Watch: AJ vs Naomi (FCW Divas Championship Match)

As we found out a while, NXT 3 competitors, AJ and Naomi faced off in FCW with the FCW Divas title on the line. Who will come out on top? Check out the match below: Thoughts: Another great match from these two ladies. They gel so well in the ring and I hope to see … Read more

Exclusive: Athena Speaks on WSU Debut, 10,000 Tacks Match, Training Under Booker T, Tough Enough and More

June 25, 2013January 22, 2011 by Steven

The name Athena has popped up a lot on Diva Dirt over the past several months, with us even touting her one of our ‘Five to Watch‘ last year. This rising young talent took the wrestling world by storm in 2010, making a name for herself in Anarchy Championship Wrestling in Texas, as well as debuting to much praise for SHIMMER last September. We thought it was about time we got on the phone with the self-professed ‘Wrestling Goddess’ so you can get to know her a little better.

She’s already hit the headlines over the past week taking part in a death-defying match against Rachel Summerlyn — a 10,000 Tacks Match — this past Sunday, in which she was victorious. And now this weekend, she makes her WSU debut live on iPPV against Niya.

We discuss her all that, plus what it was like training with WCW, WWE and TNA legend Booker T and whether she’s been approached for Tough Enough.

Exclusive: Mercedes Martinez Discusses WSU iPPV This Saturday, Clarifies Whether She’s Going to Mexico & Reveals Whether She’s Interested in WWE Tough Enough

December 29, 2011January 19, 2011 by Steven

Arguably the top independent female wrestler of 2010, Mercedes Martinez had quite the year. Continuing her WSU World Championship reign, working SHIMMER and NCW Femmes Fatales, as well as debuting for River City Wrestling in Texas, Mercedes was everywhere. Her incredible year was capped by being crowned #3 on the PWI Female 50 and being honored by Pro Wrestling Illustrated last November live on iPPV.

Now in 2011, she’s set to kick off her wrestling year with a bang this Saturday, facing Angel Orsini in a ‘Winner Take All’ ladder match on iPPV for the WSU World and All Guts, No Glory Championships.

We catch up with Mercedes to look back at her noteworthy 2010 and her plans for 2011. Mercedes also clarifies a report here on Diva Dirt last year about her heading to AAA in Mexico, and whether she’s at all interested in WWE Tough Enough.

Raw Redux (January 17th, 2011): What Just Happened?

January 18, 2011January 18, 2011 by Steven

After a week of withdrawal, on this week’s edition of Raw, Diva fans were treated to the match we should have gotten last week: Maryse vs Natalya in a non-title bout. In what I assume is an attempt to make up for the lack of Divas last week, we also got Melina and Eve on guest commentary. Can the third generation Diva and the French-Canadian beauty put on a five star match? Will Melina and Eve get feisty at ringside? Check out the match below and find out:

Out first to the ring first is Maryse, who’s looking fantastic. During her entrance, Cole introduces Eve and an oddly silent Milena, who are ringside on commentary. Next out is Natalya, who practically runs to the ring. Are we short on Diva time already? In the meantime, Cole uses his journalistic prowess to get to the bottom of the issues between Melina and Natalya and is rewarded with icy cold silence from the #1 Contender. Awkward… Cutting his losses, Cole turns his questioning to Eve and brings up the tag match two weeks ago that saw Eve pick up the win over Melina. Eve smoothly deflects the question by talking about thrilled she is to be at ringside for this match. Sure you are…

Raw Redux (January 3rd, 2011): A New Raw Year’s Eve (Torres, That Is)

January 5, 2011January 4, 2011 by Steven

After a few altercations in the past two weeks, Natalya finally gets to have her way with Melina in a six Diva tag match on this week’s edition of Raw. Will Natalya get the last laugh or will the slap happy Melina take it to the champ once again? Watch below as Nattie, Eve and Brie Bella take on the team of Melina, Maryse and Alicia Fox:

The Divas segment starts off with a replay of the tension between the champ and the #1 contender, which segues nicely into the entrance of Melina’s team. After a quick commercial break, we come back to Nattie’s team in the ring. I can only speak for myself, but I was shocked and confused to see Brie Bella joining Nattie and Eve in this match. With their current storyline with Daniel Bryan, I would have thought there would have been some progression there and Gail Kim would be taking the #3 spot in this match. In any case, the official signals for the bell and Maryse and Brie kick things off for their respective teams.

Raw Redux (December 27th, 2010): What Goes Around, Comes Around

December 28, 2010 by Steven

After a sudden attitude change and a memorable slap to the Divas Champion on last week’s edition of Raw, Melina finds herself in a tag match teaming with Alicia Fox facing off against Eve and Gail Kim. Apparently, Natalya hasn’t learned her lesson, as she’s parked her third generation butt at the announcing table to call commentary on the match. Will the tension between the former champ and the current champ come to a breaking point this week? Will Natalya pay Melina back for the vicious slap she got last week? Check out the match below:

Back from commercial, Cole and Lawler introduced Natalya, who is looking stunning. Alicia and Melina are already in the ring discussing their strategy. Out next is the team of Eve and Gail, in matching gear, no less. While the babyfaces are headed to the ring, they cut to a replay from last week, detailing Melina actions after her match. Even a week later, that slap is still epic. As Natalya tells the folks how she felt about the slap, Melina shoots optical daggers her way. If looks could kill, poor Nattie would be six feet under.

Raw Redux (December 20th, 2010): The Slap Heard ‘Round the World

December 21, 2010 by Steven

After a decisive victory over Lay-Cool at TLC on Sunday, Divas Champion Natalya was on the market for a new challenger for the coveted butterfly belt. Lucky for her, this week’s Raw featured a triple threat #1 contender match between Melina, Alicia Fox and Eve, all former champions in their own right. Which one of the beauties came out on top? Check out the match below:

We come from commercial to find Natalya at the announcer’s table, looking gorgeous might I add, scouting her future opponent. Melina’s music hits and she does an accelerated version of her usual entrance. Alicia Fox is out next, followed by Eve. As her opponents prepare themselves, Natalya engages in a bit of playful banter with the commentary team, showing off her more carefree side. The official signals for the bell and our #1 contendership match is underway.

Alicia wastes little time and goes right after Eve with a few stiff strikes. Melina tries to get in on the action, but eats an elbow in the process. Alicia goes back to work on Eve, throwing her into the top rope, before setting her sights on Melina. Alicia takes Melina out with a flurry of strikes, before pulling down to the mat by the hair. Eve tries to fight off the ‘vindictive’ one, but Alicia tosses her out of the ring, leaving her alone with Melina.

Raw Redux (December 13th, 2010): Lay-Cool are Slammy Queens

December 14, 2010December 14, 2010 by Steven

This week Raw hosted The Slammys, the night the Superstars and Divas wait all year for. After last year’s upset win by Maria in the category of ‘Diva of the Year, how could WWE top that? That’s right, a battle royal! But first, BFFs Lay-Cool won the “Knucklehead Moment of the Year award”. Check out their acceptance speech and the match below:

Let’s kick things off with the award. To be honest, it was more of the same from Lay-Cool in this segment. I would really love to see some kind of change in Lay-Cool in the new year, because this ‘Mean Girls’ schtick is really being run into the ground. It was amusing at for a while, but like most things in WWE, it’s being overdone at this point. Also, I thought it was very fitting that Layla accepted this award, as she’s the personality of this tandem. After making their speech, Lay-Cool says their about to win another Slammy and head to the ring for the battle royal.

Raw Redux (December 6, 2010): Melina Taps, Lay-Cool Are Back, Twin Magic on Maryse

December 13, 2010December 7, 2010 by Steven

On this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw, Diva fans were treated to a double-shot of action in the form of a mixed tag match featuring Maryse and Ted DiBiase vs the team of Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan, as well as Natalya vs Melina in a non-title bout. First up, the mixed tag team match:

First out are the power couple of Maryse and Teddy, who have had a bit of tension between them in the past couple of weeks. While the million dollar couple prepare inside the ring, we cut backstage to smiling Nikki Bella, who goes to knock on Daniel Bryan’s dressing room door. However, before she can knock, the door opens and Bryan walks out with Brie Bella on his arm. Nikki asks Brie what she’s doing there and is informed that Brie volunteered to be Daniel’s partner tonight. Nikki smiles as her sister walks off with the U.S champ, but her expression quickly turns sour once they’re out of sight.

Raw Redux (November 29th, 2010): Santino Strikes Again

December 13, 2010December 1, 2010 by Steven

Last week, Natalya asserted her dominance over the Divas division in a unbeweavable singles match against the feisty Alicia Fox. This week she leads the team of Gail Kim and Melina against Alicia, Maryse and Tamina. Will she be able to be victorious once again? Check out the match below:\

Out first is the heel team and we are treated to a replay of the odd, yet entertaining exchange between Tamina and Santino. I should have known this was a precursor to what was to come later in this match, but I ignored it. Silly me.

Out next is the babyface team, who get a pretty good reaction from the crowd. After the obligatory posing to the crowd, the referee takes the belt from Nattie and starts the match with Melina and Maryse kicking things off for their respective teams. As we all know there’s no love lost between these two, so it was no surprise to see these two go toe to toe in the middle of the ring. In her usual cocky fashion, Maryse piefaced Melina, but gets a stiff forearm for her troubles. Melina mounts the French-Canadian beauty and they roll around for a bit, before Maryse manages to escape under the bottom rope.

Raw Redux (November 22nd, 2010): Lay-Cool Denied and the Weave Flies!

November 23, 2010 by Steven

Last night’s edition of Monday Night Raw was a solid show overall, but was very good to the Divas in particular. Not only did we get a solid match, we had several entertaining segments, as well. First we got a segment featuring the new Divas Champion, Natalyaand the former champions Lay-Cool. Check out the segment below:

Pretty good stuff here in this segment. I found Lay-Cool’s diva act pretty funny and seeing them get shut down by security was also pretty funny. Hopefully, this is a sign that Lay-Cool won’t be such a strong presence in the Divas division for the time being. I like Lay-Cool as characters and competitors, but they have pretty much been running the division. It will be a nice change of pace to see some of the other Divas get into the title picture.

Survivor Series in Review: A Dream Becomes Reality for Nattie, Plus the Glamazon Strikes Back

November 22, 2010 by Steven

Last night’s Survivor Series 2010 marked the third meeting between Co-Divas Champions, Lay-Cool and the third generation Diva, Natalya. Natalya has faced off against both members of Lay-Cool individually and came up short, but last night the odds were stacked even more against. This time she’d have to face both members in a 2-on-1 handicap match. Can the first lady of The Hart Dynasty take out the BFF champions to become the first ever third generation Divas Champion? Check out the match below:

Out first are the Co-Divas Champions and Michelle McCool is looking stunning in a copper variation of her usual ring gear. Layla… not so much. I don’t know what it is about Divas and mixing neon colors and weird prints, but it never looks good and this was no exception. I’m usually a big fan of Layla’s choices in ring gear, but this was a definite miss for her.
