Hey guys! Last week on SmackDown, Paige got the better of Becky Lynch and on RAW, Charlotte defeated her friend using questionable tactics to say the least. How will the Lass-Kicker rebound from these losses as we continue the road to TLC? Our first Diva sighting is of Summer Rae accompanying her man Tyler Breeze … Read more

Last night on Raw, four Divas were in the spotlight as a new #1 Contender to Charlotte‘s WWE Divas Championship was cemented. Becky Lynch, Brie Bella, Paige and Sasha Banks clashed in a Fatal-4-Way match for the right to face Miss Flair for the silver and pink bling at Survivor Series. And of course, there … Read more

Happy Halloween! We’re celebrating our eighth anniversary of dreaming up Halloween costumes for the women of wrestling. This year, we’ll be splitting up the women into three categories: NXT, TNA/Lucha Underground and WWE. But before you see this year’s picks, be sure to catch up on the past seven years of this feature: 2008 2009: … Read more
Monday night on Raw, we saw Becky Lynch and Divas Champion Charlotte on a heated segment on Miz TV get interrupted by Team Bella, leading to a Six-Diva Tag Team match with Paige walking out on her fellow PCB teammates, attacking Natalya in the process. Most notably, Team B.A.D. was nowhere to be found on … Read more
What’s up ladies and gents? On this week’s Main Event, we have Naomi and Sasha Banks taking on Paige and Becky Lynch. After Charlotte found her way to the top of the contender’s list for Nikki Bella’s Divas championship, it’s probably only right that Becky and Paige are looking to blow off a little steam. … Read more
Monday’s Raw wasn’t kind to the Diva Revolution, so it was up to SmackDown to tend to its bruised ego. However, with Alicia Fox and Paige off doing their Tough Enough duties, we only had two-thirds of Team PCB and Team Bella on hand to correct Monday’s mistakes. Nonetheless, the Diva Revolution would attempt to … Read more
Following their win on last night’s Raw, Alicia Fox, Brie and Nikki Bella of Team Bella spoke to JoJo on Raw Fallout about what their victory means and the controversial behavior the crowd displayed during their match. When asked if the win on Raw felt like “redemption” for their loss at SummerSlam, Nikki said that … Read more
To some wrestling fans, NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn and SummerSlam may have felt like night and day: one was refreshing and fun, while the other felt tired and underwhelming. Well, I felt that way, at least. The comparison between NXT and WWE is probably worn out at this point, but the WWE invited such comparisons by … Read more
Last night was a big night for Paige as her newly-named Submission Sorority faction were in action twice, and she got to have a chat with Stone Cold which was hella awesome. I’m now an even bigger fan if that was even possible. Just used hella in a sentence in public also and I’m not … Read more
Heading into Battleground, we had no Divas match on the card. Strangely, I wasn’t too disappointed. After all, a “Divas Revolution” had just been ushered in on Raw, so it was understandable that we weren’t rushing into a Pay-Per-View match days later. However, with the sudden scrapping of an Intercontinental Title match, we had an … Read more
This week on SmackDown, in lieu of a match, Naomi, Sasha Banks and Tamina Snuka introduced the world to their new faction: B.A.D. In an interview with JoJo, the trio explained why they pose the biggest threat in the Divas division: Naomi explains that the division was turned upside down because – finally – the … Read more
Hello SmackDown Redux readers! I gotta tell ya: in this era of Paige-less SmackDowns, I have a feeling it’s going to be crapshoot determining whether or not the Divas Title storyline is going to see any progress on Thursday nights. This week, we have Team Bella taking on Naomi again, but this time it’s Brie … Read more
Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! For the second show this week, we’re without our uncrowned #1 contender to the Divas Title, as Paige is too busy calling out sexist assholes on Tough Enough. In her place, Alicia Fox and Naomi are claiming some of the spotlight in a one-on-one match. The overall story may be … Read more

It’s SmackDown Redux time, but only partially so. After all, we have no match to recap this week. Instead, we have a short (and, in my view, not-so-sweet) promo from Paige and another chance for Lana to grant Rusev her forgiveness. Let’s start with the Paige interview, spurred by the return of Brie and Nikki … Read more
Last night at NXT TakeOver: Unstoppable, NXT continued one trend and started another: embarrassing those booking the main roster Divas and doubling its Divas offering by showcasing two women’s matches. Yes, for the first time ever, two Divas matches inhabited the card. Also for the first time ever (that I can tell), the NXT Divas … Read more
Happy Friday all and welcome to this week’s NXT Redux! The road to Takeover has certainly been paved with gold and Wednesday’s episode of NXT was another shining example. With NXT’s big show just one week away, we were treated to two matches, an in-ring promo dressing down and two backstage segments, all of which … Read more
‘ello everyone, and welcome to this week’s NXT Redux (aka the last time you’ll have to put up with me). Last time we met, a triple threat stole the show and crowned Becky Lynch the number one contender to Sasha’s Women’s title. Will the former Baes come to blows tonight? And will Bayley/Emma see continuation? … Read more
Hello, and welcome to this week’s NXT Redux. This go around we have some triple threat action to determine a shocking number one contender for Sasha’s wonderful title, most likely aiming for a shot at the next TakeOver special. In addition, Devin Taylor chats with Dana Brooke and we get a second backstage segment featuring … Read more

Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! This week, we’re taking a break from the Divas Title scene (sort of) when Alicia Fox takes on Natalya. Cameron has been appointed special guest referee. Confused? Let this backstage segment explain it all: Renee Young interviews Alicia, Cameron and Natalya about this Monday’s Battle Royal. Alicia and Cameron deny … Read more
