Welcome to a very special edition of the Raw Redux, aptly titled “Raw Doesn’t Deserve a Redux.” And it doesn’t. Following the Divas being left off the Backlash card in favour of Santino and his alter ego, Santina, it was much of the same on last night’s Raw. How we’ve gotten to the point where … Read more
Blind yet? Well, I certainly got your attention with a well-selected photo, didn’t I? As you can plainly see, though there were no Diva matches on the card, Backlash still delivered some Diva action.

Sticking the second WWE pay per view of the month, Backlash, three weeks after WrestleMania, two weeks after the Draft and the week of a money-spinning European tour essentially makes this Sunday’s pay per view a throwaway show.

Don’t you just hate it when you visit a news site and read house show results and they have paragraphs dedicated to the men and one line for the Divas? I know I do.

We’ve got your first look at tonight’s SmackDown, which features Gail Kim taking on Michelle McCool. Contrary to a rumor earlier this week, this match is not a #1 contendership match – just a plain old one-on-one bout: SMACKDOWN: GAIL KIM VS. MICHELLE MCCOOL
I’m hearing that the Gail-Michelle match filmed for this week’s SmackDown may have been a number one contender’s match, though I haven’t been able to confirm that. If true, adds some credence to my Maryse Draft post.
