Tonight, Kelly Kelly defends the Divas Championship against Beth Phoenix. Can she overcome the Diva of Doom? The Diva Dirt team weighs in:
April: SummerSlam is the biggest party of the summer so what better way to celebrate than with a new champion? I think Beth Phoenix is going to dominate in this match. She and Natalya have been on a roll lately and they have plenty of points to prove. Kelly spent so much time fighting against Brie and now, she’s going against a near unstoppable force in Beth. I can see the champ putting up a hell of a fight but I believe Miss Phoenix is going to be too much for her to handle.
Bobby: I’ve liked this feud so far, especially because Beth (and Natalya) have been given the microphone to help build it up. I really think putting the title on Beth at SummerSlam is the wrong move because Night of Champions is in her hometown, and I’d love to see this feud continue on for another month or so before Beth wins. I can see Beth accidentally knocking Natalya off the ring apron and Kelly Kelly picks up the win with a quick roll up to retain her belt. Then we build up some more until NOC where Beth w/ Natalya faces Kelly w/ Naomi (dream world)…
Cryssi: I honestly see this match going either way and I’m not even gonna bother trying to predict a storyline or whatever. I full believe this feud is just beginning so I see Kelly Kelly picking up the win tonight but only by disqualification.
Katelyn: I pick Beth Phoenix to take the win – her undeniable strength and skills plus Natalya in her corner make for a formidable team, and I’m not sure whether poor Kelly stands much of a chance against them. Still, Kelly chasing after the gold again post SummerSlam should make for some fun viewing.
Melanie: I’m with Cryssi. I could see it going either way. I could see Beth taking the victory, finally winning the Divas Title, and I could see Kelly retaining. My gut instinct is to go with the champion here to continue building up this feud. I say Kelly Kelly wins via a surprise roll-up to retain.
Steven: Even with the incredible momentum she’s gained since her heel turn, I don’t think she’ll be winning the title tonight. Kelly Kelly has been one of the most doubted Divas Champion since the title’s inception and I think she really needs this win to make her a legitimate champion in the fans’ eyes. That said, I don’t see her picking up a clean pinfall victory, as it would take all the wind out of Beth Pheonix’s sails. Expect Kelly Kelly to win by DQ or count out and continue her feud with Beth until the next PPV.
Who do you think is going to win?
