Diva Championship & Tag Team Titles


Last night on Smackdown amongst all the celebrating of Edge's latest title win, General Manager Vickie Guerrero also added a new title to the WWE. Vickie declared that it's not right for only Raw to have a Women's championship. So Vickie unveiled that a new Diva title has been created. Last night a Golden Dreams match was held to find the first competitor for the new title. Competing in the match were almost all the divas from ECW & Smackdown. Sideline divas Lena Yada & Eve Torres stayed out of it, for good reason But Natalya, Michelle McCool, Cherry, Kelly Kelly, Layla, Victoria and Maryse all went at it, trying to get a Golden Star. It looked like Michelle McCool was going to grab the star hanging up on the pole in the ring corner. However, the newest and baddest of divas, Natalya was able to slam both Michelle and Victoria from the corner to the mat, then retrieve the hanging star. Natalya will be one competitor for the newest Diva title, most likely at Night of Champions. But who will her opponent be?

Michelle McCool seems like the obvious choice, but not with a WWE draft pending. Anyone from Raw could make the move to Smackdown. Since Mickie currently holds the Women's title it's hard to see her leaving the show. Maria may make for a new candidate to make the shift to Smackdown. With her recent popularity in Playboy and Maxim among other magazines, she would be a good fit for a Diva's title chase. Most of the more talented divas are heels, so possibly Melina shifts over to Smackdown to face Natalya for the title. So Michelle McCool, Melina or Maria are the best guesses as to who faces Natalya for this new title. The diva champ will likely be Natalya or Michelle, depending on how it plays out, but Natalya seems to be Smackdown's version of Beth Phoenix. No matter what, hopefully the title generates some more interest in the divas division.

Speaking of titles, there's the recent claims made by one Ted Dibiase, Jr. that he will become a tag team champion very soon into his WWE career. We've yet to see him wrestle anyone and he doesn't even have a tag partner. There's been speculation that the whole Million Dollar Giveaway is in fact a ploy by the Million Dollar Man. The idea is he supplied the cash to Mr. McMahon in exchange for favoritism for his son in the tag division. So who will the lucky tag partner be? Don't expect it to be Cousin Sal. Again, the WWE draft is a perfect opportunity to find him an interesting teammate. A far out idea would be for CM Punk to shift over to Raw's roster. The team of Million Dollar Man Jr and Mr. Money in the Bank has a nice ring to it. Additionally, Punk's been on a losing streak, and he needs to turn heel to take on HHH for the WWE title.

As for the other tag team title on Smackdown it's starting to look like a possible Finlay/Hornswoggle title win? This could come at Night of Champions. Would make for an interesting new angle, but easily allows the titles to transition once the squirt gun antics run out.

Feel free to comment below regarding the brand new Diva title and who you think Ted Dibiase Jr. will team up with!
