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:
Diva Dirt’s Mr Glamazon was on hand at this week’s Cauliflower Alley Club reunion this week, where soon-to-be WWE Diva, Awesome Kong — real name Kia Stevens — was the recipient of the first ever Women’s Wrestling (Active) Award for her accomplishments thus far in the industry.

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

Former Tough Enough champion, Jackie Haas blogs on the new series of Tough Enough. Read her insight and opinion on the series every week exclusively here at Diva Dirt.
Called it!
Mama’s know best… did I not say last week that the wrestling business is not for those that have little kiddos – could not agree with Michelle any more to make the decision to walk away from “her dream” to take care of her baby. Maybe someday will be the right day for her and I wish her the best of luck on putting it all together.
Mikael – again, who the heck is this? Right choice in the elimination. When Stone Cold is trying to pull charisma out of your ass and you have a promo that puts me to sleep, bye-bye. Sure we will see him with a developmental contract (as the majority of the contestants will probably end up like this sooner or later). He had the build but that’s it; at least in my eyes. Next…

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.
As mentioned earlier today, Serena received a TNA tryout dark match at tonight’s tapings. The results of the match are below: *Winter b. Serena Deeb with the catatonic backbreaker. (Source: WrestlingNewsWorld)

Former WWE Diva, Serena Deeb is at tonight’s Impact taping in Orlando and will be taking part in a match. New Knockouts Champion, Mickie James revealed the news on Twitter, writing: “Bout to watch my siz @SerenaDeeb in a Lil TNA Knockout action! I can’t wait!” It is not yet known if this is a … Read more
Spoilers for Friday’s SmackDown:
After losing her Divas Championship to Brie Bella last week, Eve Torres is looking to get back on the winning track. Who’s her first target, you ask? None other than the twin sister of the new champ, Nikki Bella. Can Eve redeem herself by taking out Nikki or will she chalk up another loss? Check out the match below:
Out first is the former champion, Eve, decked out in gold. Not to nitpick, but seems to have loss some of that spark and fire she had last week in that backstage segment. I would have liked for her to come out with a bit more attitude, considering the shady way she lost her title. Then again, that’s WWE for you.
Out next is Nikki Bella, accompanied by her sister Brie and apparently they have something to say. Brie says how much she’s looking forward to their rematch, but it might never happen because of the draft. First of all, that “promo” felt really forced and shoehorned in. The only explanation I can think of is that one of these three women will be getting drafted next week. Mark my words.
Well, ain’t that a doozy? A trifecta of great things happened on Tough Enough last night: Michelle gone! Michael with a K gone! Stacy returns!
Let’s face it: Former ‘Top Model’ star, Michelle Deighton, wasn’t long for the WWE world and I had my suspicions she’d be the next female to go, but I didn’t see this coming. Instead of being cut, Michelle pulled herself out of the competition, citing that she missed her daughter and wanted to go home and be a mom. Well, despite not warming to her in the first two weeks, Michelle totally won over my respect for her decision.
That wasn’t all, folks! As well as Michelle, our douche-canoe of the season, Michael with a K, packed his bags and headed back to Jersey where he apparently has nothing to go back to… you know, except a small thing like a wife. She must feel so loved and appreciated.
Let us watch this week’s show back and dissect!
Watch last night’s TLC after show below:
Pro-Wrestling: EVE Champion and SHIMMER star, Britani Knight will receive another WWE tryout today prior to the SmackDown tapings in London. Britani first had a tryout last year. Good luck to her!
Here is the latest promo for Kong’s debut that aired last night on Raw:
Former America’s Next Top Model contestant Michelle Deighton made her exit from WWE’s Tough Enough this evening. The former model decided she wanted to be with her family. Michelle is most well known for coming in sixth place in Top Model and for her “11 years of wrestling experience”. Michelle follows Ariane Andrew as the … Read more

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?
Hello, my lovelies! It is TNA’s time of the month again..har har. It has finally come down to Lockdown! For months, we have seen these two women battle back and forth, one being tormented for everything she stands for while the other uses her power as champion to run rampant. It is finally, and you will hear me say that a lot, FINALLY, time to settle the score between these two. Since the day she debuted, Mickie James has had her eye on Knockouts gold. In a Hair vs Title Match, locked in a steel cage, we are finally going to find out if Mickie has what it takes to become a triple crown champion. If you didn’t watch, I urge you to check it out now because you don’t want to miss it. No, seriously, don’t blink because you just might. Onward!
We first see our Knockouts backstage, where Christy Hemme states that she is personally rooting for Mickie James to win this bout against Madison Rayne. Speak of the devil, she walks up behind Christy and taps her on the shoulder, calling her Big Red. Tara is with her, not looking at all happy with her current position. Madison, wielding scissors, has an atrocious crown on her head and she tells Christy that her rooting isn’t going to help Mickie win the match. Christy counters with a question, asking Madison how it feels to know that tonight could be the last night she wears that belt. “What internet site did you read that on?” I’m gonna go with Diva Dirt, because we are all rooting for Mickie tonight. Ahem.
Raw is being taped in London, England tonight. Spoilers below:
