Not content with rubbing shoulders with a Jonas (Jonai?), the Bella Twins and Kelly Kelly hit the red carpet once more last night for Mark Cuban and HDNet’s Super Bowl party in Dallas, Texas last night.

On a red carpet with big, burly football players and even a Jonas brother, it was our WWE Divas that added some sexy and fierce glamour to last night’s ESPN Magazine party.

Former NXT Rookie Diva, AJ served as the host of last night’s Raw brand house show in Minneapolis, Minnesota, reports ProWrestling.net. Hopefully that could mean she’s close to being called up, but as we all know, house shows are not always an indicator of how things will go. Fellow former Rookie Diva, Naomi worked several … Read more
For the first time in the history of my SmackDown Redux, I’m going into the A-List show absolutely cold turkey, unsure of what exactly is going to happen. On Tuesday night I took a serious vow to remain spoiler free this week and to not watch the show until it airs in the U.S. on SyFy. I’m pleased to report that I stuck to my vow and as I write this, the show is getting closer to starting. All I know is that the main event features the team of Kelly Kelly and the World Heavyweight Champion, Edge, taking on the team of Michelle McCool, Layla, and Dolph Ziggler. As cool as mixed tag matches are, this one gets even better because on Raw, Vickie Guerrero announced that this match would be for Edge’s championship. Call it his punishment for using the banned spear at the Royal Rumble. I call it freaking epic because this is going to be the best Redux in the history of Reduxes.
I really should not be this excited for a taped wrestling show.
And so the show begins. We kick things off with Booker T in the ring announcing that he is the newest addition to the SmackDown broadcast team. This upsets me because I am a Matt Striker fan. I’ll miss you blue eyes. Anyway, Booker T does his spinaroonie thing in the ring and as that concludes, Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler make their way to the ring with extreme, massive heat. Vickie is screaming excuse me and they get in the ring with Dolph helping his girlfriend get in like a true gentleman! Vickie says that tonight will be a SmackDown we will never forget. She has set up qualifying matches for the SmackDown elimination chamber and then she begins to talk about tonight’s main event. She calls Dolph the uncrowned world champion and she brings up Kelly. She calls her a tramp and orders her to come to the ring.
RIGHT NOW KELLY KELLY.
As witnessed tonight on SmackDown, Kelly Kelly was ‘fired’ by Vickie Guerrero after helping Edge retain his World Heavyweight Championship in a 3-on-2 handicap match. Kelly speared Layla to win the match which effectively meant that Edge retains his belt. Having already angered the assistant GM by her actions at the Royal Rumble, Guerrero fired … Read more
It’s not every week that the Divas feature in the main event of SmackDown. And it’s not every century that the Divas are involved in a World Heavyweight Championship match. So tonight, we are hosting a SmackDown Response so you can discuss the show as it happens! Tune in at 8pm on Syfy. Discuss the … Read more
It looks like Alison Skipper aka Chelsea in TNA is gone from the company. She has been removed from TNA’s online roster and her photo gallery has also been removed. Skipper debuted in January 2010 as a valvet for Desmond Wolfe, who has been absent from TNA television for several months due to undisclosed medical … Read more
Oh skittles! Here we go again! It is that time again. That time where you sit down, curl up with a nice warm blanket and join me for yet another lovely entry into the TNA iMPACT Write-Up vault. Last week, we got a show full of Knockouts, bouncing all over the place. We saw a boiling rivalry finally come to a head between Winter and Velvet Sky, not to mention a certain champion getting a taste of her own medicine, self delivered. We also saw another few pages written in the saga that is The Jarretts versus Kurt Angle. Deep breath!
This week, we are subject to a ridiculous video ensemble from the power couple of TNA, which I don’t recommend watching before eating. We also have the saving grace of a true Knockouts match between two polar opposites when it comes to the squared circle. So I tell you what, take a seat in the back, settle with your popcorn and get ready for a cinematic feature. Okay. So it isn’t the Masterpiece Theatre but dammit, it’s TNA! It’s Diva Dirt! It’s the Write-Up! Let’s do this!
Our first glimpse is a video package with Karen Jarrett and her husband, Jeff. They are allowing the TNA audience into their home, cheesy MTV Cribs style. They talk about how they met, Karen being just a random employee but then Cupid stuck his arrow right in Jeff’s heart. We weren’t lucky enough for it to do any actual damage but we can hope, right? Karen says that she was married before for twelve years, but she was alone. Now she isn’t alone and she’s got Daddy Jeff to thank for that. Granted, their home in Hendersonville, Tennessee is very nice but is it really worth exploiting your children over? Karen walks around the house, dressed in all black, looking like a gothic character from an Austin Powers movie. Yeah. I said it.
Long story short, the kids come in, dressed like they’re ready for a Christmas photoshoot. Karen is showing off the pictures in Jeff’s office when the kids point out their favorite picture. It is one of everyone in TNA, with Jeff Jarrett standing next to TNA President, Dixie Carter. The girls call her “Aunt Dixie” and their father is quick to correct him. All the kids apologize, calling him Daddy Jeff which makes me sick. Then picking on Kurt Angle’s little boy, with his mother urging him on. Someone call child services. Seriously.
Just one week after being unceremoniously dropped from the Divas Championship title picture, Melina is relegated to WWE Superstars in order to work her way back up the ladder. Props to WWE, however, as we were given a fresh new match as Melina faces off against Tamina. Despite being on the roster for nearly a year now, this is our first opportunity to see Tamina in a full-length singles match. How will she fare?
Watch below:
The former Divas Champ is out first sporting her new attitude, followed by Santino’s sweetheart, Tamina now with her own entrance music and even new ring gear!
The heel Melina is feeling playful, sliding in and out of the ring, attempting to play games with the second generation Diva. Melina backs into the corner and Tamina runs after her but the referee tries to keep them apart. Tamina grabs Melina’s leg, slamming her against the mat and then hitting a slingshot. While usually, this would result in the recipient hitting their head against the top turnbuckle, Melina just kind of stumbles on the floor for what seems like an eternal second. Awkward.
Shaul Guerrero, the daughter of Vickie and Eddie Guerrero, is now going by the name of Raquel Diaz in FCW, reports LordsofPain.net. Shaul signed with WWE back in October and has been training at the Tampa-based developmental territory since. Spoilers from the taping below:

She said:

He said:

Our Unwrapped feature is making its return! Every Thursday, coinciding with WWE.com’s weekly photoshoot updates, we’ll take a look at the newest Diva photoshoot and give you the opportunity to voice your opinions on it. Let’s unwrap this week’s eye candy..
Bella Bowl III is here! Yes, this is the third time the Bellas have donned the colors of the opposing Super Bowl teams for a tandem photoshoot. Part sexy, part cheesy, this photoshoot has become a bit of a tradition. So, how does this shoot stand up to the previous two?
The Look: Compared to the first two Bella Bowl shoots (2009 here, 2010 here), there seems to be less of an effort put into making their outfits look like uniforms. The very first Bella Bowl
had the full treatment: team t-shirts, matching athletic pants, athletic gloves, and eye black. The second went a little more matchy-matchy, with similarly altered t-shirts and matching heels. The third and most recent shoot finds the Bellas in cut up, off-the-shoulder t-shirts, booty shorts, skull caps (which are super cute), socks, and high heels. The look has gone front quasi-athletic to just an excuse to make the Bellas look sexy with some NFL logos slapped on their chests. Yes, the look is sexy, but it’s cliche. The looks, when they better resembled the NFL uniforms, came off as an effort to make in interesting football-themed photoshoot, and it was fun. Here, it looks more like an ad for some local sports bar’s “Super Bowl night”. It’s less polished and too cheeky.
The Poses: All of these shoots have done the same thing, more or less–have Brie and Nikki faux-fight, symbolizing the two teams’ gridiron battle. This involves a lot of hands shoved in faces and poses with tiny footballs. These are always interesting shoots in that respect–they’re more lively than the usual photoshoots, and you can tell Brie and Nikki are having fun with it. This year, I really enjoy the shots with the Steelers’ “terrible towel”–the pose with Brie standing on the towel is particularly funny. It’s not as randomly entertaining as the “beer cap” in last year’s shoot, but it definitely spices up the shoot. However, I get the feeling that they’re kind of getting away from the fun aspects and are getting too concerned with mugging sexily for the camera. It makes more some awkward-looking shots–jostling for the football while making sexy faces at the camera? Hm..
The stage is set. This Saturday night, San Francisco will play host to the end of a wrestling career. Taylor ‘Shantelle Taylor’ Wilde’s career to be exact. The former TNA Wrestling star will hang up her boots following a bout with Alissa Flash at Pro Wrestling Revolution. That has been widely publicized. But Frisco will … Read more
