Showing a strange but welcome focus on the Divas, WWE actually followed up on what happened on Raw last night by getting comments from both Beth Phoenix and Kelly Kelly following the Glamazon’s attack on the Divas Champion.
Beth tells WWE.com: “Why I attacked Kelly Kelly? Why are you even asking that. You should be talking about what everybody else is talking about and that’s [that] I just defeated 11 other Divas to become the #1 Contender for the Divas Championship.”
“You want a real story?” continues Beth, “Tune into SummerSlam and watch me win the Divas Championship for the first time.”

Meanwhile, Kelly is also asked about the incident, responding: “Why did Beth Phoenix attack me tonight? I don’t really know why she did. I mean, we were really good friends inside and outside of the ring. She was somebody that I leaned on for advice and then tonight, it blindsided me.”
“I don’t know why she decided to attack me and throw me into the wall and call me a bimbo,” says Kelly. “I don’t know where that came from. Maybe it’s some inner anger issues that she had towards me. I just don’t get it but I’m gonna tell you one thing: At SummerSlam, I’m coming after Beth Phoenix.”

Thoughts: Kind of odd to see WWE invest in the Divas even with little extra clips on WWE.com, but that gives me just a glimpse of hope that things will step up following last night’s hot start to this feud. Fingers crossed that they keep this momentum going and don’t drop the ball.
