RAW SUPERSHOW 10/31

Tonight’s WWE RAW Supershow kicks off with Michael Cole welcoming us. The Rock’s music begins to play and we see him on the big screen in a pre-recorded video shot earlier today it says. The Rock talks about John Cena wanting him to team up at Survivor Series. Rock says Cena represents an era and a generation, but he also represents an era and a generation. Rock says Cena asked him from the heart and he felt it. The Rock says hell no, from the heart. Hell no, again, and again. The Rock says in order for he and Cena to be a tag team, he would have to slap the skin on his hand in a match. Rock says he would rather slap Cena in the mouth. Rock says Cena wants Team Bring It to team up with Cena and the Fruit Loop Troop. No, hell no, no way, says The Rock. Wait a minute. Rock says then he started to think about it and listen to all the tweets coming to him on Twitter from fans. Rock says Team Bring It hates The Miz and R-Truth. Rock says it’s about what the people wants. And what the people want is to see The Miz and R-Truth gt their jabroni asses kicked at Survivor Series. Rock says Cena’s wish just came true. For one night, he and Cena will be a tag team and they will face The Miz and R-Truth at Survivor Series. Rock says Miz and Truth have become hated but they’ve done it from the back like cowards. Rock tells them to try and come do it to him. Rock says he knows Cena is so happy right now. Rock mocks Cena and his young fans now. Rock says there’s another reason why he’s doing this, besides kicking Miz and Truth’s ass. Rock wants Cena to witness, at Survivor Series, the most electrifying man in the world doing what he does best – putting boots to asses. Rock says what he does that night is just a taste of what he will do to Cena at WrestleMania. Rock goes and pretty sure he calls Cena’s mom a fat ass, but says he’s back and Cena better get ready. They will team at Survivor Series – never before, never again. If ya smellllll… and the crowd pops as Rock’s music plays again and Cole runs down what we just heard.

DIVAS SEGMENTS ARE WASTE OF TIME - VINCE

It’s said that Vince McMahon has developed a love-hate relationship with the WWE Divas. The mentality is that both RAW and SmackDown have to have one segment with the Divas. Vince is convinced that Divas segment is needed because it draws in a certain demographic.

When the Divas segments and matches are actually going on, it’s said that Vince feels they are a waste of time. This is part of the reason he has Michael Cole act the way he does when the Divas are out.

STEPHANIE MCMAHON'S REACTION TO NUDE PHOTOS

WWE’s live events website (www.wwelivetour.com) remains offline after nude images were published in the photo gallery on Wednesday.

The website featured an unmoderated section where fans are permitted to upload photos taken at live events. A nude photo of former WWE Diva Tiffany from her Playboy modeling days was uploaded to the website, garnering attention online. More tawdry images were uploaded including a graphic still of Chyna’s s genitalia from her 2004 adult film 1 Night in China, a photo depicting TNA Wrestling broadcasters Mike Tenay and Taz looking on with approval, and a photo of The Miz with lettering reading “I’d fap to that.”

Stephanie McMahon, who oversees the website, called an emergency meeting upon learning of the situation. “Everyone was said to be blaming everyone else,” according to the Wrestling Observer Newslette

UNSEEN DIVAS SEGMENT

 WWE’s website posted a backstage video from RAW where The Bella Twins taunted Beth Phoenix for Kelly Kelly getting the upper-hand on The Glamazon during last night’s show. Beth ended up telling the twins to back off and scared them up against the wall.

WWE DIVAS RESPONDS TO THEIR CRITICISM

The official WWE website posted a pseudo-shoot article Sunday asking whether the Divas division needs saving from "model" talent such as Kelly Kelly and whether Beth Phoenix and Natalya, the "Divas of Doom," can be the ones to do it.

Katie Raymond, the author of the article, wrote: "Stinkfaces. Booty poppin’. If you're a purist about a woman's place inside the WWE ring, you must be wondering what Fabulous Moolah is thinking looking down on the Divas division. Would the iconic figure chalk up the current flux of the division on changing times, or would she say, “Someone needs to save this”?

"Beth Phoenix and Natalya, the “Divas of Doom,” think so. However, are The Glamazon and third-generation Diva just the two women to call “saviors”?

"First, Brie Bella wins the Divas Championship. Diva purists cringed. Then, Kelly Kelly – who has improved markedly inside the ring – netted the butterfly title. Diva purists started pointing fingers and lashing out. This can’t be happening. Not in a division that has seen the likes of Moolah, Trish Stratus, Lita and Melina bear the Women’s Title. How are these “model” Divas getting their names etched in the history books? Do only “pretty faces” matter?" 

Some of the Divas took to Twitter on the topic:

Eve Torres: I'd love to step into the ring whomever wrote this, & c who needs saving. #Iwillbootypopinyourfacethenmakeyoutap 


Don't ever let anyone undermine your hard work, label your character, or set limits to your potential. #BeliEVE! 


And trust that that's not taking anything away from @natbynature or @thebethphoenix. Everyone is equally dedicated to taking the Divas division to the next level! 

Kelly Kelly: #divas were just doing what we love, entertaining every week We've all worked very hard to get here just wish all this hate would go away. 

Nikki Bella: Wow @WWE definitely woke up 2 an embarrassing article you wrote... Well u wanted to know everyone's thoughts @WWEUniverse, Here's Nikki B's 


First off.... Um you want me to slap you with all of my awards and championships I have won? I was a #1 athlete... Which other Diva was? 


Secondly, Bri & @RealKellyKelly have been the only entertainment that has happened 2 the Diva's Division & have worked harder than anyone! 


Thirdly, I've seen 2 girls the past few weeks try as hard as they can to be "models" while us "models" have busted our butts..... 


Oh and good luck with the up and coming Divas.... Sure you'll make a lot of money with them.... Um actually NOT! 


Lastly, @RealKellyKelly & Us are better than anyone in the past so Katie Raymond check your self and come read this article to my face! NB 

Brie Bella: Wow, I just woke up to the craziness! The words spoken by Katie are laughable, but I'm a women who will stand for what I believe in...so... 


I know what I've given to the fans and that's all what matters. WWE might think your a bunch of puppets that are persuaded by their words.. 


I know how you all feel  good and bad, I love it! I mean if WWE cared about Divas why do we have such little time on tv? 


Why were divas such as Mickey James, Melina and Gail Kim released. Why aren't wrestlers like Sara Del Ray hired? All amazing!....... 


Kelly Kelly and myself have worked to hard to have an unknown, untalented writer say the things she did. Katie (whoever) Suck it! Love Brie 

Beth Phoenix: Its not the Divas Division that needs saving, but the WWE Universe. Myself and @NatbyNature are on a mission to make you change your minds.. 


As long as I can remember I have worked my butt off and been underappreciated while the crowd adores @RealKellyKelly and @EveMarieTorres... 


I am tired of looking and being the best and being passed over time and time again. Im done asking for approval. And just getting started

DIVAS DIVISION TO CHANGE WAY

Beth Phoenix says she and Natalya are out to change the way the fans see the WWE Divas division. She wrote on Twitter:

“Its not the Divas Division that needs saving, but the WWE Universe. Myself and @NatbyNature are on a mission to make you change your minds.. As long as I can remember I have worked my butt off and been underappreciated while the crowd adores @RealKellyKelly and @EveMarieTorres… I am tired of looking and being the best and being passed over time and time again. Im done asking for approval. And just getting started. Proving my point. #DivasofDoom. Most of all, the WWE Universe WILL listen. Because We will MAKE YOU. #DivasofDoom.”

NATALYA TALKS ABOUT TEAMING UP WITH BETH PHEONIX

WWE Diva Natalya spoke with The London Free Press about her new team with Beth Phoenix:

“I’ve been in WWE three years and I’ve evolved … I’ve grown a lot. There’s been an evolution and that evolution turned into the Divas of Doom, with Beth Phoenix. We stand up for what we believe in. It’s our point of view that we’re role models and we’re revolutionizing what Divas should be, much the same way as Trish Stratus did. We’re not Barbie dolls. But we are still strong, bold and beautiful. It’s like Beth said, ‘We’re here to stop the stinkfaces and booty popping.’”

MAXINE MAKES HER RETURN

As seen on Tuesday’s WWE NXT, Maxine made her return to the storylines. She ended up with a much smaller role than originally planned as she was set to debut on SmackDown in the role that Aksana currently has. As mentioned before, Maxine lost the SmackDown spot due to what was described as a “breach of etiquette.”
