Not everyone goes home happy after the Slammy Awards. Or if you’re Beth Phoenix, you go home in shock with a red slap mark across your face, courtesy of Kelly Kelly.
The Glamazon didn’t even give Kelly a chance to relish her award for Divalicious Moment of the Year before trying unsuccessfully to swipe the Slammy out of her hands on Monday night. She felt she deserved it, envelope be damned.
Well, guess what? She did deserve it.
Phoenix isn’t the only one who has legitimate beef over leaving empty-handed, though. By our count, there were five Slammy Awards that could have feasibly gone another way in the voting. That includes Superstar of the Year, which the WWE Universe bestowed upon CM Punk.
With that said, it’s time to take a case-by-case look at the snubs of the 2011 Slammys. In other words, who has reason to complain about being passed up for awards? And whether you agree or disagree with our selections, be sure to lend your voice to the snub debate on our Facebook page.
Divalicious Moment of the Year | Snub: Beth Phoenix
As much as it was a terrific 2011 for Kelly Kelly, let’s face facts: the Divas Championship changes hands multiple times every year. Winning the title with a victory roll over Brie Bella arguably doesn’t give it award-worthy oomph. But what The Glamazon is managing to do in the ring redefines the WWE Universe’s expectations for a Divas match. The Survivor Series crowd was floored by Beth’s top rope Glam Slam, a maneuver that looks devastating enough on its own. While we’re at it, Natalya’s double Sharpshooter also had more “wow” factor as a Divalicious moment. Long live the “pin-up strong” movement. [xx]

Kelly Kelly, Eve, Alicia Fox and Maria Menounos def. Divas Champion Beth Phoenix, Natalya and The Bella Twins
After igniting a war of tweets with The Glamazon last week, Maria Menounos returned to the squared circle to compete in front of America’s bravest. Teaming with Kelly Kelly, Eve and Alicia Fox, the entertainment reporter was more than ready to grapple with The Glamazon, Natalya and The Bellas. Maria had the last laugh and certainly the last tweet by shockingly pinning the Divas Champion to secure the win.

Kelly Kelly won a Slammy Award for Divalicious Moment of the Year
The beautiful Kelly Kelly was grateful to receive the Slammy Award for Divalicious Moment of the Year from legendary Diva Lita, but she was less thrilled when Divas Champion Beth Phoenix and Natalya crashed the party and snatched her statue. Not one to back down, Kelly immediately slapped her tormentor across the face and took her Slammy right back. Now that’s Divalicious.
WWE Scraps Divas Match from Smackdown
As previously reported, WWE filmed an angle at Tuesday’s SmackDown tapings that never aired on television. After a divas tag team match, Kaitlin turned on her partner AJ Lee and aligned herself with their opponents, the divas of Doom.
No word yet on why WWE scrapped the segment from this week’s SmackDown broadcast. Officials had been talking for a while about putting Kaitlyn with Beth Phoenix and Natalya but had also been discussing turning both Kaitlyn and AJ Lee heel. [xx]
