Natalya and Beth Phoenix go way back
Posted by Melanie Jo with No Comments
The pairing of Beth Phoenix and Natalya may have had some different names during their tenure atop the WWE Divas division, but their impact has always been consistent — pain and suffering for the “Barbie dolls” who have taken to wrestling.
As they say, the best storylines have a bit of truth to them. Given that both Natalya and Phoenix paid their dues on the indy scene for years and years before their break in WWE, it’s natural for them to target the girls that may have gotten into the wrestling business through modeling or the Diva Search contests.
“Beth and I, we’re very real. I think that people, whether you like us or hate us, we’re not the norm, we’re not the cookie cutter, we’re not Barbie dolls. We pride ourselves on being very, very, very different. Both of us love Olympic powerlifting, both of us have a very strong confidence about us when we’re in the ring,” Natalya recently told SLAM! Wrestling.
“We really know what we’re doing, and people can respect that. We’re very much on the same page, and different in a lot of ways, but we’re very much on the same page. I think we want to make change as far as the Divas go, and the Divas division for WWE. I think making girls cry is a perfect way to say, ‘Hey, we’re in charge, and if you don’t like it, then deal with it.’”
The Divas of Destruction have targeted Kelly Kelly in particular, but Eve Torres and Alicia Fox have been recently victims too.

WWE News: Beth Phoenix Slams Cris Cyborg over Failed Drug Test
Posted by Melanie Jo with No Comments
Over the weekend, the news of Strikeforce’s women’s featherweight champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos’ drug-test failure for steroids sent shock waves throughout the MMA world, with major questions arising over what it means for Cyborg’s career and for an already struggling women’s MMA division in North America.
The news also garnered a strong, deeply disappointed reaction from Beth Phoenix, current WWE Divas Champion, who posted the following on her official Twitter account yesterday: “So disappointed in Cris Cyborg. What a let down to women that looked up to her. #noshortcuts.”
Interestingly, Cyborg has reportedly expressed interest in working with WWE before, back in early 2011 when she and Strikeforce were at loggerheads over money and she was looking for other options in the United States. Eventually, she ended up working out a compromise with Scott Coker and returned to the Strikeforce in the summer.
Who knows? Now that the Brazilian fighter has a lot of time on her hands (she has been suspended for a year by the California State Athletic Commission), maybe a role in WWE will suddenly become more likely? Certainly a Cyborg vs. Phoenix match would be a spectacle in itself. [xx]

Divas Champion Beth Phoenix vs. Eve did not happen
Eve made her way to the ring ready to battle WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix, but instead of The Glamazon’s entrance theme playing, the arena went red and Kane’s music played. Eve panicked, unsure of what to do until U.S. Champion Zack Ryder ran to the ring to try and help her escape. They ran to Ryder’s car, which suspiciously had a flat tire.
