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

On tonight’s Total Divas, things get embarrassing for three particular Divas. When Brie Bella heads to the studio to record vocals for her entrance music, her untested singing chops don’t exactly impress. Meanwhile, Natalya lets loose on a night out with Alicia Fox, Naomi and Tamina Snuka, her antics prompting her fellow Divas to try … Read more
So, how messy are the Bella siblings??? This week’s episode of Total Divas caused me to laugh out loud more than once, and it had a lot to do with the fact that Brie, Nikki, and JJ Bella are so incredibly bitchy with one another. As we saw on the previews, Brie and Nikki decided … Read more
On this Tuesday’s Total Divas, Eva Marie‘s training once again becomes a hot topic amongst the Divas. After watching training videos Eva posted on social media, Alicia Fox explains to Cameron why she has no faith in Eva’s potential as a wrestler. She cites the fact that Eva’s performing her moves on a man and … Read more
After Tuesday’s eppy of Total Divas, I find myself completely amazed that Nattie and Tyson Kidd are still together. TJ must literally be the most patient man in the world in order to put up with all the crap Nattie dishes out and our favorite Canadian was in fine form this week. The couple has … Read more

On this Tuesday’s Total Divas, Natalya‘s tendency to tell partial truths come back to bite her. Her husband Tyson Kidd confronts her backstage about hiding the full extent of costs tied to their home renovation. He also questions her intentions in letting her sister “visit” them. Natalya defends herself by arguing that she tells partial … Read more
Well, I’m pleased to say that this week’s Total Divas was much more bearable than last weeks! It’s the little things in life that matter, and when an episode doesn’t find fifty different reasons to make me want to tune out, I consider it a small victory. That being said, I don’t think I will … Read more
[media-credit name=”Photo: E! Online” align=”aligncenter” width=”620″][/media-credit] Rosa Mendes has dropped a major bombshell – she is expecting a baby! In an interview with WWE.com, Rosa has announced that she is three months pregnant with a baby girl, which she wishes to name Jordan Elizabeth Schubenski: “I’m pregnant, and I’m having a little girl. Her name’s … 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
Raw took place in the magnificent Suplex City last night and if it wasn’t Brock Lesnar knocking people flat on their backs, it was the referees! Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Raw Redux. Nine women got screen time last night, yet one of them wasn’t Paige, who you thought would have been around … Read more

The Divas had an iconic match at Money in the Bank, Chyna has turned up at WWE HQ and we actually had storyline advancement that kind of made sense last night. Has hell frozen over? Howdy all and welcome to this week’s Raw Redux! We were lucky enough to enjoy a Divas handicap match last … Read more
I think it’s safe to say that Nikki Bella and Paige exceeded expectations last night at Money in the Bank. Granted, expectations were very low, but it’s always nice to get more than you’re expecting. The match these two delivered almost made me forget the lousy booking that proceeded it. Almost. It was a welcome … 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
Howdy everyone and welcome once again to a Diva Dirt Raw Redux. Following Sunday’s Triple Threat which saw Nikki Bella retain the Divas Championship to my utter shock (my PPV predictions have been diabolically bad in 2015!), the title was up for grabs again last night as Nikki put up her bejewelled butterfly for Paige … 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
Happy Tuesday Diva Dirt readers and welcome to this week’s Raw Redux. Last night was a Lana, Paige and Stephanie McMahon-free evening (DUN, DUN, DUUUUUNN!) yet does it matter when you have a roster full of talented females appearing left, right and centre? Not as much! On last night’s Raw, we saw Naomi in action … Read more
Happy Friday, and welcome to another SmackDown Redux! This week’s SmackDown sees the Divas breaking up, forging new relationships and scrambling for position in the wide open Divas Title picture. Sounds like a whirlwind, huh? For a SmackDown, this is practically worthy of sweeps week. Let’s dive in. Our Divas match of the night was … Read more
