WWE Divas » 2008 » 2008 » June

In what was obviously the expected result, reigning WWE Women’s Champion Mickie James successfully defended her title against aspiring diva, Katie Lee Burchill. From the start, everyone knew how this was going to be as Burchill is a virtual newbie in the WWE with not much credential to go with her title aspirations. You may even call it a fluke challenge to which she just filled in for the challenger vacancy while the ongoing feud between former champions Melina and Beth Phoenix was in the works.

It is without question that James was the …

If there is one thing you have to love about the WWE, it is the suspense that they provide. Apparently, many of us were waiting for Natalya Neidhart’s opponent for the Divas Championship but until the show went off the air, no announcement was made on who Neidhart would face at the pay-per-view Night of Champions.

There was a six-diva tag match where Maryse eventually pinned Cherry. We all know the growing rivalry between these two but if that match was any indication, you would think that Maryse had the inside track. It is …

The injury bug once again strikes in the WWE and this time, it is Melina Perez who has been sidelined. Perfect timing! Just when her heated rivalry with former women’s champion Beth Phoenix is shaping up, again another adversary of the Phoenix goes down. Coincidence? Remember Candice Michelle?

But unlike Candice Michelle, Melina’s injury was minor in nature although many claimed it was a severe ankle injury. This happened during the inter-brand match up where Melina teamed up with Women’s Champion Mickie James and squared off against SMACKDOWN’s Natalya Neidhart and Victoria. At stake were …

While Natalya Neidhart is resting her laurels and waiting for her “real” opponent to be named, Michelle McCool’s performance at SMACKDOWN’s last show got her attention alright. Michelle McCool has long been groomed for stardom and apparently and quietly, she is climbing up fast.

After convincingly winning her match against Layla, Natalya Neidhart personally appeared on ramp and personally showed herself to the All-American Diva. Could it be a Neidhart-McCool finale? From all indications, it seems likely. We have seen other divas such as Cherry and Maryse try to impress the SMACKDOWN GM, …

We all know for a fact that the WWE Women’s championship has sorely lost the attention thanks to the growing rivalry between Beth Phoenix and Melina Perez. But still, that does not mean that there will be no challenges coming the way of current WWE champion Mickie James. And the challenger is Katie Lee Burchill who will go up against James on June 29 at the Night of Champions.

So if you are a constant follower of the WWE, you will ask, “Katie who?” Exactly my point. Well, she volunteered herself while Phoenix …

Between Beth Phoenix and Melina Perez, you have to wonder who will remain a heel and who will transform into a face wrestler after the things that have gone down in the WWE divas division. We all know for a fact that Phoenix will not rest until she reclaims the WWE women’s championships, and this includes taking care of her former ally as well.

In the last edition of RAW, we saw how much the championship meant to both of these divas. Phoenix was in a match with Mickie James which she ultimately lost. …

There can be a lot of difference as far as popularity and personality for most celebrities today inside and outside the camera. The WWE divas have their share of sudden character changes when they are out of the shows and the latest one to be inducted here is Michelle McCool.

We all know that she is a crowd favorite and being one, they are normally expected to gel with the fans. The WWE is now touring various countries and upon seeing their favorite wrestlers, you would think that they would be more than accommodating …

Before she can lay claim as being the first WWE SMACKDOWN divas champion, Natalya Neidhart needs an opponent. Apparently at the moment, divas such as Maryse and Cherry are vying for that incentive but will also likewise need the approval of the SMACKDOWN GM Vickie Guerrero.

Apparently, this character of Vickie Guerrero is not something that sits well with most WWE fans but the WWE management thinks otherwise. She is not making any raves, stooping down as a wannabe GM that will obviously not get her places. It is pretty obvious that she is …

In case you forgot, Torrie Wilson was forced to retire some months back due to a nagging back injury which ultimately led to her parting ways with the WWE. Ever since she left, nothing has been heard about her until now. She had successfully had back surgery and while the whole operation was scary on her part, it was an absolute relief for this former WWE diva.

Torrie Wilson stopped competing strenuously on the ring and apparently that was all because of her back. Many WWE fans miss her even if she made some …

In an announcement that has been long overdue, SMACKDOWN Vickie Guerrero finally let the cat out of the bag when she announced a new title for the SMACKDOWN brand, the Divas Championship. As you all know, the one and only WWE women’s title is over at RAW and is currently held by Mickie James. For some time now, you have to wonder, how come SMACKDOWN did not have any title for the women’s division for the divas they have.

So now that it has all been set, aspiring candidates for the title include:
1. Michelle McCool
2. Cherry
3. Kelly …
