The website Cageseat Seats has published an article looking at Daffney’s recent filing of a worker’s comp cliam against her former employer, TNA Wrestling.
The article highlights some of the conditions Daffney worked under while in the company, including being ‘pressured’ into doing hardcore spots that led to injuries.
Read some highlights below:
SHIMMER star Melanie Cruise received a tryout with TNA last night prior to the Impact tapings. Cruise lost to Sarita via roll-up. Chicago-based Cruise is 6ft, much taller than most of her SHIMMER peers and probably taller than most of the Knockouts also. Like Isis the Amazon, she could fill a ‘giant’ type role which … Read more
Responding to reports that she has signed with WWE, including a report here at Diva Dirt, Britani Knight released a statement on her Facebook page denying that she’d been signed (yet).
Britani writes:
Diva Dirt has learned that 18-year-old British wrestling prodigy, Britani Knight signed with WWE last night following a successful second tryout.
Knight, who was just crowned the first ever Pro-Wrestling: EVE Champion a couple of weeks ago, first had a tryout with WWE last November.
She comes from a family of wrestlers: Her mother and father, Saraya and Ricky, are staples of the British wrestling scene. Her brothers are wrestlers also.

According to PWInsider, Awesome Kong will be known as Kharma in WWE. The company filed to trademark the name last week. Like it? Love it? Or, like us… hate it?
WWE has announced that the annual Draft will take place next Monday on Raw.
Press release below:
Tonight at TNA’s Lockdown pay-per-view, Mickie James defeated Madison Rayne with a Mickie-DT to become the new Knockouts Champion in less than a minute. This marks the first time Mickie has held a TNA championship and makes her the first woman to hold the Women’s, Divas and Knockouts championships. Congratulations to Mickie!
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.
Big news: Former WWE Divas Champion, Jillian Hall is heading to WSU! Jillian will debut on WSU’s Uncensored Rumble Internet pay per view on June 25th. According to WSU, Jillian has a ‘major announcement’.
Number one contender for the Knockouts Championship, Mickie James spoke to Busted Open this week about her match with Madison Rayne this Sunday, the status of her separated shoulder and much more. We have a few highlights:
Speaking on the match this Sunday and her shoulder injury, Mickie says:
“I’m really excited about it. I’m going in there with a separated shoulder and hopefully be able to tough through the match.
I’m feeling better every day honestly and trying to get more range of motion back and I definitely hope physically to be 100%. I don’t think my shoulder will be 100% but luckily it’s my left shoulder and I’m a righty, so that kind of helps.”
Raw Diva, Gail Kim wrote a comment on Twitter denying that she’d be retiring anytime soon. I haven’t seen any reports about it online, but apparently she’s been getting questions via Twitter about online rumors speculating her retirement.
She wrote: “retiring?haha why would I do that?I can still go with the best and still look good :))))hehe can’t get rid of me that easily!Haters u wish!”
IndyGurlz returns to Boonton, NJ this weekend with lots of names on tap including Mercedes Martinez, Sara Del Rey, Madison Eagles, Marti Belle, Cindy Rogers and more.
Details below:
There was some confusion yesterday that Awesome Kong would be heading to FCW after a ‘coming soon’ promo supposedly aired for her on Sunday’s episode of FCW which aired in Florida.
Of course, a promo then ended up airing on Raw which seemed to indicate differently.
Well, we can now clarify the situation.
WWE aired a promo for Awesome Kong tonight on Raw before the Divas Championship match.
The promo showed Kong in a dark room, flicking the head off a blonde doll before laughing maniacally. Kong’s distinctive braids were clearly on show.
Earlier today it was reported that Kong would probably be reporting to FCW after a promo for her aired on FCW television. That doesn’t seem to be the case, after all.
Brie Bella became the new WWE Divas Champion just moments ago on Raw, after defeating Eve Torres. At the start of the match, Eve had the referee mark Brie’s hand to make sure the twins couldn’t switch during the match. Despite this, Nikki tried to switch places with Brie but was caught. The distraction allowed … Read more

Allison Danger has issued a statement on Cindy Rogers’ retirement.
Danger will face Rogers in her retirement match at WSU’s Uncensored Rumble iPPV on June 25th. The match was requested by Rogers.
When I was first approached about being Cindy Roger’s final wrestling
match ever I was flattered. Honored even. But then I thought to
myself, “Who else would they ask?”. Let’s face it-there would be no
Cindy Rogers without Allison Danger. Join me for a quick walk down
memory lane (don’t worry, nerds, it is not a REAL walk. Lord knows
wrestling fans hate any form of real exercise):
Original TNA Knockout, Traci Brooks returned to the company over the weekend on the house show loop, being pitted against Madison Rayne in open challenges. Brooks picked up wins over the Knockouts Champion on Saturday and Sunday night. Traci appeared on TNA Impact a few months back, which seemed to indicate a full-time return, but … Read more
It looks like Awesome Kong won’t be heading straight to the main roster as first thought. A promo package for Kong aired on last night’s episode episode of FCW in Florida. Thoughts: Before everyone gets up in arms about this, we must consider that fellow world-renowned wrestlers like Daniel Bryan, Kaval and Alberto Del Rio … Read more
