Last night during Raw, E! debuted a new teaser for the fourth season of Total Divas. The promo revealed little, overlaying an image from a season three promo with a few soundbites teasing the drama that’s in store for the Divas. Watch the teaser below: Season four of Total Divas premieres Tuesday, July 7th on … Read more
Sometimes, a surprise outcome is a good thing in wrestling. By defying expectations, it can add excitement to a story, making it feel like anything can happen. Other times, an outcome is unexpected because it’s completely out of harmony with the larger picture. In those instances, the surprise falls flat, making it feel like the … Read more
Welcome, Redux readers! We’re (yet again) at a SmackDown that’s knocking on the door of a Pay-Per-View. This time, it’s Elimination Chamber, where Divas Champion Nikki Bella (remember her?) defends the belt against both Naomi and Paige in a Triple Threat match. Here, we’re laying the foundation for more Paige/Naomi tension, which has a ton … Read more
Howdy everyone and welcome to this week’s Raw Redux! Raw’s match this week was certainly an international affair as the pride of Britain Paige clashed with the Samoan splasher herself, Tamina Snuka. Paige has beaten Tamina numerous times in the past and following Paige’s controversial comments about her on SmackDown, Tamina will surely have a … Read more
Another SmackDown, another Thursday night without a Divas match. Perhaps the WWE just didn’t think they could follow the epic Women’s Title match at TakeOver. Surely, it would’ve been like following up college-level mathematics with an introduction to long division. If that was their fear, then maybe it wasn’t wise to instead book a segment … Read more
Hey everyone! Raw was pretty monumental for the Divas, right? If you haven’t seen Raw yet and are catching up via my Redux, then *SPOILER ALERT*, the show was pretty awesome for the Divas last night. The last few weeks have been a little more subdued yet this week’s episode is steering us in a … Read more
A mid-week match announcement and half-assed buildup aren’t exactly the makings of an exciting Divas Pay-Per-View match. Payback, by all indication, was set up to be forgettable event in Diva-land, and depending on your viewpoint, it may as well have been. For me, though, the match pitting Naomi and Tamina Snuka against Brie and Nikki … Read more
What up, ladies and gents? Long time, no write! This week’s show brought us the exciting prospect of the new bad girls on the block, Naomi and Tamina taking on Alicia Fox and Natalya. I’m a big fan of all the ladies on this match up so fingers crossed it delivers what we’re expecting! Natalya … Read more
[media-credit name=”Photo: WWE.com” align=”aligncenter” width=”620″][/media-credit] Total Divas stars Natalya, Eva Marie, Brie and Nikki Bella attended NBC’s cable upfronts presentation yesterday, joining a host of other WWE stars at the New York City event. The Divas posed for the cameras and spoke to the media about WWE programming on NBC’s various networks. E!, USA Network … Read more
Welcome to this week’s (admittedly short) SmackDown Redux! We have no Divas in-ring action this week – which doesn’t exactly bode well for this Sunday’s tag team match at Payback – but we do have two nice character-building Diva segments to dissect. First, we have Naomi and Tamina Snuka, who have joined Renee Young for … Read more
In the latest WWE Inbox, NXT Divas and Superstars share their dream opponents. In the video, second generation star Charlotte picks Shawn Michaels, as she wants revenge for him forcing her father Ric Flair into retirement at WrestleMania 24. Becky Lynch chooses Jazz, promising that if the two went head to head, the former Women’s … Read more
Howdy everyone and Happy Tuesday! Raw was sadly a quiet night for the Divas last night as we witnessed a reasonably short match between Brie Bella and Tamina Snuka. WWE Divas Champion Nikki Bella and Naomi were at ringside, as was Natalya, albeit for a different match entirely! With just five Divas on the docket, … Read more
Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! Shall we call this the post-Tamina-return era? No? Okay. Well, this is the first show since the intimidating Diva made her WWE return, aligning herself with Naomi to take out Brie and Nikki Bella on Raw. The Divas certainly looked in sync then, but the true test comes in matches: … Read more

May the Fourth be with you! Last night’s Raw may not have referenced Star Wars Day like it should have (WWE should have showed more respect to the films that are so bad, they are good) yet that didn’t stop us from seeing the ferocious return of a fearsome Sith Lord known for her trademark … Read more
Hello, readers! It’s SmackDown time once again, and we’ve got another fresh Divas match-up on the card. That wasn’t even sarcasm! Though she retained the Divas Title at Extreme Rules, Nikki Bella still has some work to do to complete her evolution into a babyface. Here, on SmackDown, she’s getting that chance in the form … Read more

Hey guys! It is already that time of the week again – Raw Redux time! Following Naomi and Nikki Bella‘s really nice contest at Extreme Rules, the pair were both on our screens again last night as Naomi faced Brie Bella, who Nikki accompanied to the ring. Lana, Natalya, Renee Young and Rosa Mendes were … Read more
Extreme Rules, operating in the massive shadow of WrestleMania, is destined to feel like a filler Pay-Per-View. Though, maybe “transitional” is a better word. It’s more fitting, at least in the context of the Divas division. We’re still rebounding from the loss of AJ Lee, have lost Paige for the immediate future and have the … Read more
Welcome to the last SmackDown Redux before Extreme Rules! It feels like yesterday, WrestleMania 31 was on everyone’s minds. I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing that we’re already at another Pay-Per-View. The quick turnaround isn’t conducive to fleshed-out storylines, that’s for sure, but at least we have a fresh … Read more
