Respect, indeed. Last night at NXT TakeOver: RESPECT, NXT Divas received their biggest opportunity yet: a spot in the main event. If that wasn’t enough, there was the added Iron Man stipulation, which guaranteed 30 minutes of wrestling and story that would surely hook the crowd. For me, this was cemented as the most inspiring … Read more
Marriage proposals, hummer limousines and primadonna attitudes; move over Real Housewives, Monday Night Raw is all about the over-the-top jaw drop! The spotlight was still firmly on the Divas Division last night as three angles involving the girls dominated the broadcast. Paige‘s self-inflated crusade for attention continued when she clashed with everyone’s favourite voice of … Read more

The season premiere of Raw rarely disappoints, and last night’s was no exception. Despite the fact that WWE runs 52 weeks a year and no-one ever views Raw as having a season premiere or finale, the season premiere tagline is always backed up by big time matches, and that is exactly what we got last … Read more

Though he first shows some trepidation at the idea, Jimmy decides to go for it. Watch the clip below: Total Divas … Read more
Welcome to another SmackDown Redux! This week, we had a surprisingly stacked show overall. It probably had something to do with that little NFL kickoff game. Regardless of the reason, we had two pretty cool Diva segments that set us up for a potentially explosive week to come. In a rematch to their sort-of-inconclusive match … Read more
This week’s SmackDown had quite a few twists up its sleeve – shocker, right? Usually SmackDown puts Diva feuds on cruise control. Here, though, we were treated to significant developments in the Lana/Summer Rae feud and the Divas Title picture. Lana and Summer brought their feud – and Summer’s scandalous accusations – to MizTV, while … Read more

On paper, WWE booking three Divas matches last night, all under three and half minutes would normally be a sentence that would turn a Divas fan’s stomach. In the past, we would have just been thankful that it was three matches and not one. Fast forward to 2015 and in the midst of a Diva … Read more

Tuesdays’s Total Divas… Ohmygoddddddd! Seriously, who knew Tamina Snuka was such as bad ass?! Can we say instant new favorite?! If you can’t already tell, I absolutely LOVED this episode of Total Divas. It was actually pretty hilarious, which was nice after all the catty drama and relationship woes we’ve been having lately. Of course, … Read more
Last night’s Raw was filled with some massively noteworthy moments, like the debut of a new Wyatt Family member, the return of the Dudley Boys and a shocking appearance from “The Vigilante” himself, Sting. The Divas were also involved in a really memorable segment, yet sadly for all of the wrong reasons. Whilst the former … 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, the NXT Divas managed to raise the bar once again in the first live special off of their home turf. NXT Women’s Champion Sasha Banks took a break from the main roster to defend her title against the ultimate underdog, Bayley, in what was billed the co-main event of the evening. I’d speculate … Read more

After a blockbuster bout at WWE Battleground, the “Diva Revolution” continued to roll on through Raw as we were treated to not one but two Divas match featuring our favourite nonagon of relevant Divas. That’s a nine-sided for any of you not fans of geometry. In addition to appearances from Lana, Lilian Garcia, Renee Young, … Read more

Here, we’re laying the foundation for more Paige/Naomi tension, which has a ton … Read more

Details on the project are scare, the only hints coming in social media posts from the Divas Champion: This is what I was up 2..Singin in the studio! Wow … 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
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
