The rebirth of “The Anti Diva”

I’ll be the first one to admit that when AJ made her return to Raw and defeated Paige for the Divas championship neatly 3 weeks ago I was far from happy. The fan in me clouded my judgement and I was over the top angry. I refused to listen to anything positive about the decision but today as I write this as a women and say “I was wrong and my crew member Trevor was right”

He said “I believe this is a way to bring out the anti diva in Paige” and after last night boy was he dead on. Last night on Raw there was a tag match that featured the team of AJ & Paige vs Natalya & Emma. Just by throwing those four together we knew it was going to be a good one, but it’s what happened after the match that has everyone talking.

AJ of corse picked up the win for her team via submission by black widow to Natalya, and as always her “buddy” Paige was there to celebrate with the champ. After Paige raised AJ’s hand in victory & AJ went to walk away Paige pulled AJ by the hair sending the back of her head into the canvas.

This was followed by vicious headbuts to AJ. Oh no but the anti diva wasn’t done there. She then tossed AJ like a sack of potatoes outside the ring, once outside the ring Paige throws AJ into the barricade. At one point Paige even told the crowd “you’re going to love this” which was followed by Paige sending AJ face first into the ring post.

It wasn’t over there because the raven haired women then took AJ and threw her over the announcers table which is where she screamed “I told you this is my house now!!” (That was probably my favorite part of the segment by the way,

Them to add insult to injury Paige does AJ’s infamous skip up the ramp and motions to her waist as if she wants the title. Overall this segment had me loosing my shit. I absolutely loved it and I know that no matter how long this feud goes its going to be a GREAT one.

Both ladies have their own strengths. In my opinion Paige is better in the ring then AJ and AJ is better on the mic then Paige. I think this feud will allow them to bounce off each other and ultimately make then both better competitors. With all that being said I may not be a AJ fan anymore but kudos to her for taking some pretty nasty bumps last night.

Seriously though these two work so well together that I can damn well guarantee you that what we are about to see from these two is going to be pure magic and quite possibly give us the type of feud we’ve been craving since the Trish & Lita days.

Stephanie McMahon vs Brie Bella at Summerslam?

20140722-114551.jpg

As someone who grew up in the attitude era I have always LOVED Stephanie McMahon’s hellish character. She truly was someone I loved to hate. That being said I’m all for the possibility of her returning to the ring at Summerslam to take on Brie Bella.

This tension between the ladies has been brewing since before Wrestlemania. As soon as Brie Bella got involved in the Daniel Bryan vs the authority storyline there was no doubt in my mind and in the rest of DTRT’s mind that it would only be a matter of time before we saw the billon dollar princess take on Brie Bella. In fact we thought we would’ve gotten that match at payback.

Instead of getting the match though all we got was a confrontation in where Stephanie tried to infamously fire Brie but Brie beat her to the punch by quitting & literally slapping the piss out of Stephanie. (I’m still upset that the wwe never mentioned the piss)

Anyway after last night this whole Brie Bella & Stephanie McMahon angle has reached it’s boiling point. Last night WWE did something brilliant & unexpected. Brie Bella was a member of the audience watching her sister Nikki Bella take on Rosa Mendes, Alicia Fox Cameron, and Eva Marie. To no surprise Nikki got beat down and then afterwards Stephanie turned on her hellish charm in a way that only she can and pretty much called Brie a coward for abandoning her sister for her husband (Daniel Bryan). Brie’s response was priceless. She called Stephanie the word she HATES to be called. Brie called her a BITCH

What happens next is vantage Stephanie because she slapped the taste out of Brie’s mouth causing a mini cat fight that security had to break up, BUT WAIT it doesn’t end there. Later in the show Stephanie McMahon was arrested for battery!!!! Why you ask?? Well she slapped a “fan” I mean Brie isn’t employed by the company & she did have a ticket to the show.

Clearly this is all a part of the storyline & Stephanie really didn’t get arrested but this adds fuel to the fire forsure. As Stephanie was getting arrested Brie is shown in the crowd and Stephanie said “you’re gonna pay”

So here’s what I’m thinking. When Stephanie says you’re gonna pay my immediate thought is that Stephanie is going to take matters into her own hands & what better way to do that then to take it to her in the squared circle? I’m thinking that Stephanie’s anger will get the best of her leading to her reinstating Brie in order for the match to be official. Either way I’m sure we’re in for a treat for the upcoming weeks leading to Summerslam. What do you guys think? Does this possibility sound intriguing? More importantly who’s side are you on? Sound off let us know.
