A Year Ago This Week: Kaitlyn Wins Diva’s Championship

With the departure of Celeste Bonin (Kaitlyn) from the WWE it’s appropriate that we mark this special occasion.

It happened a year ago this week January 14th to be exact.  In her home town of Houston Texas, during  the 20th anniversary of Monday Night Raw. Kaitlyn faced Eve Torres for the WWE Divas Championship. Kaitlyn who had not yet ever held the championship tried numerous times previously  and was unsuccessful.

This match was a showstopper and showcased the pure athletic ability of Kaitlyn.  It was an emotional night in front of family and friends as Kaitlyn would become Divas champion for the first and only time during her WWE career.

Kaitlyn was brought to tears at the end of the match as she tightly held the coveted championship. Kaitlyn had paid her dues and worked her way up the ladder through NXT over the past couple of years and now finally achieved the goal of being called champion.

You can watch the entire match below.
