WWE shook up the Divas roster in the annual WWE Draft today with five Divas finding new homes.
SmackDown gained three new Divas in Alicia Fox, Natalya and Tamina, while Raw gained the duo of Beth Phoenix and Kelly Kelly.
Thoughts: While it had been widely expected for Beth to move over to Raw, seeing her and Kelly move is a shocker. That now means SmackDown will have to build its division around a new top babyface, likely Natalya or whichever member of LayCool turns face. I hope to see a Tamina heel turn, however, because I think she has a lot of potential in a Khali/Big Show-like role.
The new WWE Divas rosters after the jump!

Results from today’s IndyGurlz show from Diva Dirt’s Eric:
First of all, I was one of ten people there. The show started an hour late due to the ring being broken and needing to be welded. As soon as their matches ended, the girls were leaving. By the time it reached the end of the women’s event (intermission before the guys) all the girls had left. The matches even had to be changed last minute due to a couple of the girls not being able to stay due to the weather or late bell time.
1) The Belle Saints vs. Portia Perez and Sumie Sakai. Portia and Sumie were an oddly paired heel team here. I say oddly because Portia didn’t attempt to be a heel at all. Both brought chairs to the ring. Match was heavily dominated by Portia and Sumie. End of match saw Sumie snatch the refs glasses and while he was “blind,” she hit Tina with a chair. Winners: Portia Perez and Sumie Sakai.
