Slammy-award winner, Rosa Mendes has much to celebrate this holiday. Last night she won that Supplementary Slammy and on Sunday night, she was crowned the new Queen of FCW. Watch her match with AJ below:
On tonight’s episode of Florida Championship Wrestling which just aired moments ago, SmackDown Diva Rosa Mendes became the new Queen of FCW. Rosa defeated former NXT Rookie Diva, AJ who had held the crown for quite a while. The Queen of FCW crown is not to be mistaken with the FCW Divas Championship which is … Read more

British FCW Diva, Verity Thomas — real name Vicky Skeeles — was removed from the FCW roster in an update today. While usually this indicates that the talent has been released, there is no confirmation as yet. It could be an error. We are looking into this story further, so stay tuned.
Footage from a recent FCW live event has found its way on YouTube and gives us our first glimpse at new developmental talent, Caylee Turner, the younger sister of Alicia Fox. Check out the clip below:
SmackDown Diva, Rosa Mendes worked Thursday’s FCW television taping. Mendes wrestled NXT Rookie Diva, Aksana.

Welcome to another edition of FCW Watch! This week, NXT 3 Rookie Divas AJ Lee and Jamie Keyes face off in singles action. Which one of these rookies will come out on top? Check out the match below:
Out first is the Queen of FCW, AJ Lee and she quite different from the AJ that we’ve come to know and love (or hate) on NXT. While I’m a big fan of the perky and bubbly AJ of NXT, I must say I prefer heel AJ much more. Her haughty and conceited character in FCW is much more interested than her over the top NXT counterpart. Out next is Jamie Keyes, who poses to the crowd while AJ mocks her from the other side of the ring. The referee signals for the bell and the match is underway.
Independent wrestler, Su Yung, has reported to WWE’s developmental territory, FCW. Yung, going by the name of Vannah, made her debut for the company at a live event on Saturday night.

Spoilers below for upcoming episodes of FCW TV. Not entirely sure when these episodes will begin airing but they feature the newly announced cast for NXT season three.
At long last, the FCW Watch has finally returned. With all the action going on in WWE’s farm territory as of late, we decided it was only fitting to get back on the ball when it comes to Florida Championship Wrestling. And what a week to do so! This weekend, FCW’s alpha females, AJ Lee and Naomi Night face off in a crown/titleunification match with the entire Diva roster at ringside. Check out the match below:
First out are the FCW Divas, all decked out in their Sunday best. This is also our first look at new Divas Celeste (now known as Ricki Vaughn) and Christina Crawford (Alicia Fox’s sister). Also at ringside, Aksana, Liviana and Raw Diva Tamina.
Next out is the Queen of FCW, AJ Lee followed by the FCW Divas Champion, Naomi Night (HEEEEEEYYY!!!). The top Divas shoot each other a few glares before the bell rings and the match gets underway. The ladies lock up, but AJ quickly gets the upperhand with a side headlock. Naomi manages to whip AJ Lee off and into the ropes, but is laid out with a shoulder block. AJ hits the ropes, looking to capitalize, but Naomi kips up and counters with her patented Booty Call butt bump for a near fall.
The champ tries to keep the heat on but AJ reverses into a school boy pin with the help of a handful of hair. Not to be outdone, Naomi executes a split-legged backslide followed by a few armdrags for another two count. Naomi tries to follow up with a scoopslam, but AJ wiggles out and into a waistlock, which is quickly reversed by Naomi. The champ tries to roll the queen up, but AJ holds onto the ropes sending Naomi rolling across the ring. Before Naomi can get her wits about her, AJ comes charging and hits a vicious Shining Wizard, but only gets a two count.
We can now confirm our initial report that Isis the Amazon has signed a developmental deal with WWE. A reliable source tells Diva Dirt that Isis is indeed part of the FCW roster after being spotted with FCW staff and talent at last Friday’s event in Fort Myers. Diva Dirt first broke the news that … Read more
Big FCW post for you… we’ve got a fan report, pictures and video footage from Friday’s FCW live event in Fort Myers. Diva Dirt reader Bobby Lea Burchill sent us the following:
Before the show, I got to meet Christina Crawford, Isis the Amazon and Ricki Vaughn (formerly known as Celeste). All three were very nice and friendly, Christina especially. As reported earlier, Isis asked if it was alright before she took pics with fans, but she was nice about it. Ricki looks really good, and she shared the ring announcing duties for the night, not doing a bad job at all. Christina looks almost identical to Alicia, just with a darker color to her hair.
Onto the show, the Divas match was the third match of the show, and it was announced as a tag match. When Ricki introduced the team of Naomi Night & Aksana, I thought they were gonna run around the ring and slap hands, etc… but they came out in full on heel mode. They scowled at fans, refused to slap hands, and posed as they walked around the ring. Not only that, but Night ditched her braids and had purple bangs. And then out came Liviana and AJ Lee, to new music (no more Trinity theme), who were faces. This had me wondering if they really are being groomed for NXT, because AJ has been changed back to a face for the show, and more boldly, Naomi didn’t have her braids, but changed it to a normal hairstyle for Divas.
With the finale of NXT season two on Tuesday (vote Kaval!), attention turns to season three, which if last season is any indication, should begin the very next week. And like the first season, we can probably expect the season three rookies to be announced on the second season finale on Tuesday.
Speculation has been mounting since earlier this month that next season will include Diva rookies for the first time ever. According to a report by the Figure Four Weekly newsletter, season three will feature four male rookies and four female rookies. Well, using our super-sleuthing and powers of deduction, we think we may know who is set to be part of the next season. Our clues below…
Syfy cameras at FCW taping: Reported by PWInsider, Syfy had its cameras at the FCW taping on Thursday night, which pretty much confirms that season three is a go. (I’m assuming that Syfy’s cameras were there to film footage for the little introductory video packages that they show.) On that night, AJ Lee, Aksana, Liviana and Naomi Night were part of the taping, as well as Jamie Keyes who already has an announcing spot on NXT.
Friday in Fort Myers: FCW held a show yesterday in Fort Myers which was attended by our friend, Bobby Lea Burchill, who offers up some more clues. At that show, once again, there was a camera crew filming the whole event including a Divas tag team match. Who was part of that match? The same suspects as above. AJ, Aksana, Liviana and Naomi Night.
Independent wrestler, Isis the Amazon was once again spotted at an FCW event last night in Fort Myers, FL. Earlier this month, a picture surfaced of Isis in the FCW Arena with referee, Daniel Skyler. At last night’s FCW show, the 6’9″ tall wrestler was spotted with FCW staff and talent, including Alicia Fox’s sister, … Read more

EDIT: This report … Read more
Here’s some fan filmed footage from Wednesday’s FCW show in Orlando featuring Melina. The A-List Diva stripped down to her bikini along with the rest of the FCW Divas. And I must say, her body still looks banging!
As well as Christina Crawford (sister of Divas Champion Alicia Fox), it looks as though WWE has signed another new Diva to a developmental contract.
