The RAW Report: Kaitlyn Wins Battle Royal For #1 Contendership



Tonight on RAW, WWE Divas Kaitlyn, Eve Torres, Alicia Fox, Tamina Snuka, Natalya, Rosa Mendes and Aksana participated in a battle royal that would determine the new #1 contender for Layla's Divas Championship.  


Just before RAW went to commercial break, Lawler and Cole announced that there would be a diva battle royal after commercial break.  A few stupid commercials later, we see the divas get the useual "jobber" entrance and spot Layla ringside.  All seven girls in the ring lock eyes with the british beauty holding her title up proudly.  

The bell then rings and all but Tamina stare down the champ as Snuka backs away preparing to strike anyone who comes first.  Tamina beats up Rosa and Aksana early on.  Deciding to forget about Tamina, Rosa then goes after Aksana and is on her like white on rice!  Meanwhile the other divas stop attacking eachother for the moment to watch Rosa and Aksana continuously roll around the ring until they eliminate eachother, going through the bottom rope.  Continuing on, we now see Tamina and Natalya gang up on Kaitlyn by the ropes.  Tamina and Nattie nearly had Kaitlyn, but somehow Kaitlyn fights back but ultimately gets a double suplex from Natalya and Snuka.  Soon the two destructive divas go after Alicia.  Yet again we see them about to perform another double suplex, but the Foxy one, with all of her leg strength gets out of their hold.  More back and forth between Fox and Nattie with Fox trapped in the corner turnbuckle.  Nattie gets an idea to have Tamina irish whip the third generation diva, but unfortunately Alicia gets up to the top turnbuckle in time to see Natalya miss her and get herself eliminated.  With Alicia sitting pretty at the top, Tamina comes out of nowhere with an awesome super kick right to Alicia's chin and falling to the floor.  Quickly Kaitlyn comes up right behind Snuka and eliminated her, with Eve sneaking up to Kaitlyn and lifting her up to her shoulders.  Quickly walking over the the ropes, Eve tries to drop Kaitlyn out of the ring, but the hybrid diva fearlessly fights out of Eve's hold.  Getting to her feet fast, with a beautiful european uppercut then follows it up with a clothesline that doesn't get Eve over the ropes, so she tries again successfully eliminating Eve and becoming the new #1 contender!

Katie's Two Cents: Glad to see that we finally got a new contender for Layla's Divas Championship.  She's been sitting out for too long and I hope their match will take place at Night of Champions.  The match itself was a clusterfuck like all the other battle royals usually are, so no shock there.  I will say that Alicia was very impressive tonight.  She was taking some really hard hits and I love the way she sold Tamina's superkick.  I was also glad to see Eve and Kaitlyn being the last ones left.  I feel that their feud isn't completely over, but we'll just have to see next week.  I was sensing some heel/tweener vibes from Layla when they showed her reaction when Kaitlyn won.  I could see them fighting about how Kaitlyn is suppose to be Layla's friend and betraying her by wanting her title.  One thing I was wondering about the entire time was where were Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix?  I get the feeling that Kelly will be out the door very soon.
