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..

NXT Season 3 winner Kaitlyn is finally emerging in the “big time” SmackDown, so it’s fitting that this week she’s premiered her first official photoshoot as a Diva. It may look familiar to you (actually it should look familiar), since photos from the studio portion of the shoot were released at the beginning of her NXT run. However, there’s still enough new stuff to unwrap..

The Look: Okay, so this outfit is nothing new–it dates back to the NXT rookies’ first photoshoots, so your reaction’s down to whether you liked it or not way back then. In terms of wrestling gear, I like it–it’s tough, with its black leather top and boots, but it’s cut the right way to fulfill the sexiness quota it seems like every Diva’s gear has to reach. Not to mention, it highlights her two most flattering features: her sculpted arms and legs. This gives Kaitlyn her own signature look, with the top and shorts being the base of it. I like this shoot’s version a lot more than some of her other variations of the look–I wasn’t a fan of the denim and cheetah print one. The black and dark camouflage print looks a lot sleeker, and I have to say the camo shorts are a lot more flattering than those skin-tight, ovary-crushing denim shorts.

The Poses: Kaitlyn exudes a calm, confident manner throughout the entire shoot, her poses relaxed. I like it, as it feels real and not as put-on as the more smiley, happy poses other Divas may utilize. Her poses next to the steel beam are particularly interesting. While these poses aren’t all that different from the ones from her other shoots, you have to consider that they were all probably taken around the same time, when she wasn’t exactly in the flow of WWE photoshoots yet. Even so, I really like the feel of this photoshoot.

Originality: The studio photos are pretty much repeats of every posed photo we’ve seen of her so far, but the shots in that abandoned-looking building are a lot more interesting. The setting is unique, and though you can spot photoshoot equipment at the right side of the 10th shot (d’oh!), the shots are composed pretty well. Most Divas don’t really mesh well with the more “gritty” settings, and those shoots end up coming across as phony, but Kaitlyn, with her tough wardrobe and self-assured poses, fits. It gives me confidence that her future shoots will do an even better job demonstrating that uniqueness.

Overall: Sure, a portion of it is recycled, more or less, but all together this photoshoot shows a lot of promise for Kaitlyn. It doesn’t reek of “amateur” as we’ve seen with many Divas’ first photoshoots. She’s got her own unique attitude and style, and it’s got me looking forward to her future shoots. Rating: 4/5
