KOTR & NXT Winners plus Michael Cole


It's been a crazy week once again in the world of WWE. We've had the beginning of several new eras and title reigns now that Miz is WWE Champion. King of the Ring tournament has ended and so has Season 3 of NXT, much to the pleasure of commentator Michael Cole. Speaking of Cole, he's been a hot topic on the minds of many ever since Raw. where he betrayed his broadcast partner, Jerry "The King" Lawler.

We'll start with Raw, which is where the "Era of Awesomeness" began since Miz won the WWE Title a week prior from Randy Orton. Orton was not part of Raw due to his injury situation. However, Miz showed up along with protege Alex Riley to gloat about his championship reign starting. Michael Cole was of course applauding and jumping up and down.

Jerry Lawler decided to interrupt. While he had a point in saying Miz defeated a guy who 7 others had already attacked, he may want to review the tape. Orton nearly had a win despite all that, but Miz countered the RKO with Skull Crushing finale. Orton's injury didn't seem to come into play when he had momentum in the final moments of the match. Still, it's understandable for some to hate Miz for what he did, although CM Punk agrees, you cash in when the time's right.

We saw Lawler given his first ever WWE Title shot on Raw against Miz. It was a TLC match that Lawler nearly won until Michael Cole rushed in to save the day, grabbing Lawler's leg to prevent the King from pulling down the hanging championship belt. Eventually Miz did that, after Lawler had clocked Cole.

Cole was back to work the next night on NXT's Season 3 Finale, where Kaitlyn was crowned its Next diva champion. A word about that, why must WWE pretty much rig the vote? I'll be the first to root for Kaitlyn, she's gorgeous and has a great physique/personality, but they basically gave her an easy pass to the finals by pairing her with Vickie Guerrero. Kaitlyn got to be the one to push Vickie down, wrestle against her and make out with Dolph Ziggler. All that added up to gaining popular votes, in my opinion. Wouldn't any of the divas given that role have been popular with fans? Did another diva rookie deserve it more? That may be debatable, but they all seemed to have talents. Maxine even seemed like a suitable heel diva replacement for the likes of Dawn Marie and Victoria. Nonetheless we will see which divas they bring on board now that Season 4 of NXT will be starting up.

Back to Michael Cole who was on NXT, he brought up the Lawler incident briefly saying he was going to try to contact King in private to discuss what happened. Cole said he would only speak of the Raw incident on the next episode of the show.

Some believe Michael Cole may now attach himself to be the manager for The Miz and Alex Riley. It would be one of the first real managers in some time, since the likes of Bobby the Brain Heenan, Mr. Fuji, Harvey Whippleman and Slick. In fact one of the last managers on Raw was probably Armando Estrada who managed Umaga. It would be a good move for Cole, because otherwise it would be tough to see him as a commentator with Jerry Lawler. That may be why they started to bring Punk into the mix on Raw.

As for the 2010 King of the Ring, that went to The Celtic Warrior Sheamus. Many see this one coming now, that the "King of Kings" Triple H will be back at some point to battle him. This happened before when we had another King, King Booker, and they started teasing HHH promos. Maybe HHH will be a surprise Royal Rumble entrant even.

With all that, John Morrison got a great push again, as he put on a fantastic match with Sheamus on Raw. They will likely have at least one more battle, which at this point is probably going to Sheamus, due to the HHH storyline. Morrison seems like a good successor after Orton, to do battle with The Miz over the WWE Title.

Make sure to head over and vote in this "Who is the Raw GM" Poll as fans are weighing in on which WWE personality is that anonymous GM we keep getting email statements from!

NXT Results 11/30/10 - Season 3 Finale


WWE NXT Results from Norfolk, VA:

Tonight's episode of NXT was the finale of Season 3 where the Next Breakout Diva would be. The finalists were Naomi, coached by Kelly Kelly; and Kaitlyn, coached by Vickie Guerrero. The show opened with a video highlight package of Naomi and Kaitlyn with a few clips of each from the past season.

Michael Cole started talking about how the world is buzzing about what he did during last night's Raw main event. Cole said he rushed the ring grabbed Lawler's leg and cost him the WWE Title. Cole said he still doesn't know what came over him. He said he'll try to talk to Lawler privately about this matter, but will reserve all comments about the matter until next Monday's Raw. Josh Matthews talked about how big a night it is, then sent it to Matt Striker in the ring. Striker introduced Vickie Guerrero who came out from backstage to do her excuse me bit. Vickie introduced her rookie diva, Kaitlyn, insulting her again.

Striker introduced Naomi who arrived out without her pro Kelly Kelly. Other pros were up on the stage including Bella Twins and Primo. Striker talked about the journey that Naomi and Kaitlyn took to get to where they are now. Striker asked the WWE Universe to congratulate Naomi and Kaitlyn. Striker intro'd a video package of Kelly Kelly who is traveling overseas with Big Show and Eve to visit the troops. She praised Naomi as a great diva rookie, saying she thinks she'll be the next diva in WWE.

Striker said the pair of Kaitlyn/Vickie may put the "fun" in dysfunctional. Striker asked for Kaitlyn's comments about her pro, with Vickie interrupting her. Vickie reminded everyone she fired her original rookie diva before the season started. Vickie said she handpicked Kaitlyn and not a day goes by she doesn't regret it. Vickie brought up that Kaitlyn tried to steal her boyfriend, Dolph Ziggler. Kaitlyn said she actually gave thanks for having Vickie as her pro during Thanksgiving, but it's obvious Vickie gave thanks for that second helping of mashed potatoes. Vickie screamed out she's had it, and started to leave the ring, when Kaitlyn shoved her down. Kaitlyn laughed as Vickie screamed on the mat.

Cole started to rant about how Vickie is like royalty on the show. Matthews said they will introduce the pros and rookies for NXT Season 4. The first pro shown was R-Truth. His rookie is Johnny Curtis from Maine. Season 4 debuts next week.

Tonight's matches included AJ and the Bellas versus Alicia Fox, Maxine and Aksana. Also, Kaitlyn versus Naomi in a battle of the two finalists.



AJ & The Bella Twins vs. Maxine, Aksana & Alicia Fox
Six Diva Tag Match

When Goldust arrived out with the other heel divas, Aksana looked over towards Goldust on stage. He gave her a confused look back shaking his head. Cole said they put six divas in this match for quantity over quality. Aksana went over and punched down one of the Bellas causing a distraction for the refs. The heels gained control as Aksana tagged Alicia in to work on AJ.

AJ managed to avoid a charging Maxine in the corner, so Maxine hit shoulder first into the corner. AJ tagged in a Bella who started taking it to Maxine. The Bella scored a faceplant on Maxine, but Aksana rushed in to break up the pin. The action broke down with Aksana, Alicia Fox and one of the Bellas all ending up outside the ring. Maxine was still legal against a Bella and shoved her to the corner where AJ managed to tag in blindly. AJ got up on the corner and hit a flying bodypress to score the winning pinfall. Primo rushed to the ring to congratulate his former rookie. AJ jumped up to straddle hug Primo, then he gave her a kiss in the ring.

Winners: AJ & The Bella Twins win via pinfall over Maxine, Aksana and Alicia Fox.

The Masterpiece Chris Masters was introduced as the next pro for NXT Season 4. His cocky, brash and young rookie is Byron Saxton, who was also a commentator for ECW.




NXT returned with Maryse and Ted Dibiase backstage. Dibiase said he'll be a pro for Season 4 to coach his rookie Brodus Clay. Clay is 6'8", 350 lbs. He said he's the world's biggest suplex machine. Cole said he's the former bodyguard for Snoop Dogg, the "Mastedon of Mayhem."

Striker was in the ring with the two finalists Naomi and Kaitlyn. He said it's time for a diva trash talk face-off where each diva rookie talks themselves up and trash talks the other diva down. Kaitlyn talked about how Naomi is the most athletic and talented of the rookies, but she lacks one thing that can't be taught: personality. Naomi said the time is now and she's ready to be a diva now. Naomi said she just wants to thank the WWE Universe for the experience. Striker came over to say now that they've squared off verbally, they'll face off in a match, next.



Kaitlyn vs. Naomi

Early on, Kaitlyn started goofing off doing the robot, so Naomi mocked her dancing. Kaitlyn rushed her and went for a surprise schoolboy pin. Kaitlyn used an airplane spin to throw Naomi across the ring, which also made Kaitlyn dizzy. Naomi made a comeback though and used her butt bump to knock down Kaitlyn. Moments later, Kaitlyn tossed Naomi to the mat for a near fall.

Cole and Matthews pretended they were bored with Cole whistling, saying he was trying to get emotionally involved in the match, but it was tough to do. Cole made an apology for not mentioning Harley Race as a former KOTR winner last night. Matthews noted that Don Muraco also wasn't mentioned.

Both divas ended up on the outside, with Kaitlyn using a catapult move to launch Naomi towards the ring. Kaitlyn settled into a leg scissors in the ring to wear down Naomi. Naomi eventually got out and started to gain momentum with a variety of takedowns. Cole yelled to the ref to count faster. Kaitlyn went for a move off the corner, but met a boot to the face from Naomi.

Winner:

Post-match, Vickie got up to make another speech. She said she wanted to introduce one of the WWE Pro's for Season 4, her boyfriend Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler arrived out to the stage in street clothes, to say he'll represent Jacob Novak.

Striker had the pros convene up on stage to talk over the voting for the NXT Season 3 Finals between Kaitlyn and Naomi.




Cole reminded fans that one week from Monday will be the 2010 Slammy Awards on a special 3-hour Raw in New Orleans, LA.

They showed the Raw Rebound which recapped Miz's speech as the new WWE Champion, and Lawler interrupting to talk about how Miz won after 7 guys attacked Orton. The Raw GM eventually got involved in their argument, ordering Miz to defend the title against Lawler in a TLC match for Raw's main event. Later on the two fought it out, with things going wrong for Miz despite Alex Riley trying to help out.

Lawler was up on the ladder with Miz having crashed through a table on the outside. Michael Cole left his announce position to go try to help Miz up. Eventually, Cole got into the ring and grabbed Lawler's leg to prevent him from reaching to get the WWE Title down. That prompted Lawler to drop down, confront Cole and eventually punch him down. Meanwhile, The Miz made the climb up the ladder. Lawler rushed back up the other side but was eventually clocked in the face by the belt, so Miz was able to retain his title.

Cole reiterated he'll try to contact Lawler privately about this matter, but will address it at length on WWE Raw.

The next pro introduced was former NXT rookie, Daniel Bryan. His NXT season 4 rookie is Derrick Bateman from Cleveland, Ohio. Bateman describes himself as "Man-tastic." Cole joked maybe Bateman can teach Bryan how to be a man.

Striker was back up on stage with the other four eliminated NXT divas, Jamie Keys, AJ, Maxine and Aksana. Striker asked the four former competitors who they thought should win. Jamie and Maxine were both in favor of Naomi, while AJ said she wants her best friend Kaitlyn to win. Striker asked Aksana who she thought should win, and she asked Striker if he's single. Goldust chimed in telling Aksana to shut her mouth since nobody can understand her. Aksana said she thinks WWE Universe wants her to be winner of NXT.




Matthews reminded fans to watch tonight's episode and other past episodes on WWE.com, YouTube and Hulu.

The next Season 4 Pro is Alberto Del Rio and he will coach rookie Conor O'Brian. O'Brian said it's a "dog eat dog world" and you have to fight for yourself out there.

Time for the final elimination to determine the Season 4 NXT Winner between Naomi and Kaitlyn. Striker had both rookie divas in the ring for the big announcement. They showed the Titantron with both their pictures flashing back and forth until finally it stopped on Kaitlyn as the Season 3 winner of NXT. Kaitlyn is the next breakout diva. She dropped to her knees in excitement then gave Naomi a hug.

Striker asked Naomi to give her thoughts. She said it's bittersweet she wished she had won, but everyone worked hard so she's happy for Kaitlyn. Time for Kaitlyn to give her acceptance speech. Kaitlyn even thanked her "ridiculous pro, Vickie Guerrero." Kaitlyn said she hopes fans will cheer her for who she is and who she will be. Kaitlyn thanked Aksana and her friend AJ. She tried to start up an "Aksana sucks" chant but didn't get it going. Cole called that move "classy."

Other pros, Goldust, Alicia Fox, Primo and Bellas got in the ring to congratulate Kaitlyn. AJ rushed to the ring to hug her friend, and other rookie divas joined them. Cole said he's out of there. No big attack scene to close out the season like Season 2. They showed a replay of Kaitlyn and Vickie's reactions to the announcement of Kaitlyn winning to close the show.

WWE NXT Results 11/23/10


WWE NXT Results from :

The show opened with a video package spotlighting Aksana's elimination last week and noting another rookie diva gets eliminated tonight with just one episode left until the big finale. After the opening video theme, Michael Cole talked up the show and sent it to Matt Striker in the ring to introduce the remaining 3 rookie divas: Kaitlyn, Naomi and AJ. Cole complained that there were two weeks left of the "silly competition."

Time for the first competition of the night "WWE Trivia." Round 1 questions worth 100 points and Round 2 questions worth 200 points. Answer 1 was who won Season 1 of NXT, and the answer was Wade Barrett. Answer 2 was the first female pros on NXT, Michelle McCool which AJ got correct to even the scores. AJ had the lead at the end of Round 1 with 300 points. Cole and Matthews found ways to distract themselves playing games on an iPad and messing around. AJ won the competition easily with 1300 points to Naomi's 100 and Kaitlyn's 0 points.

Kaitlyn vs. Nikki Bella

Kaitlyn's pro mentor Vickie Guerrero was ringside for coaching. Kaitlyn tried to give her her trucker hat to hold but Vickie tossed it. Early on, Nikki had the advantage as she used several moves to take down Kaitlyn including a huge dropkick to the legs.

At one point, Nikki tried to work on Kaitlyn's hurt left leg. She locked in a submission to wear down Kaitlyn on the mat. Nikki eventually put the match away, despite Kaitlyn's comeback attempts. Vickie screamed at Kaitlyn post-match since she lost again.

Winner: Nikki Bella wins via pinfall over Kaitlyn.

They showed highlights of last night's episode of Raw which featured John Cena's farewell speech to the WWE Universe. Also on last night's Raw, Cena screwed Barrett out of winning the WWE Title in his rematch against Randy Orton, and The Miz cashed in his MITB contract to become new WWE Champion.



Naomi vs. AJ

Second match of the night was a rookie versus rookie matchup. Kelly Kelly was on hand for her rookie and Primo escorted AJ to the ring for the match. They showed AJ using an impressive submission hold to finish off Aksana last week.

AJ seemed to hurt her lower back at one point, then got back in the ring. The two diva rookies shook hands, but then Naomi gained control as she landed a dropkick to the back of AJ. She followed with a huge legdrop for a near fall pin. Moments later, Naomi hit an enziguiri kick but still couldn't capture the pinfall. She used a surfboard submission for a while, but Matthews said Naomi's shoulders were down. AJ escaped it and turned it into a pinfall, but Naomi tossed her away.

AJ managed to land a spinning Tilt-a-whirl DDT in the middle of the ring. However, she was slow to go over for the pinfall and Naomi kicked out. AJ kept building the minimum. There were multiple kickouts with Cole and Matthews calling it the best match of the season. AJ started to go for a headscissors spin, but turned it into something else. Again AJ locked "The Octopus" submission onto Naomi just like she did to Aksana last week, to grab another big win by submission.

Winner: AJ wins via submission over Naomi.




The final competition of the evening for the rookie divas was "Last Sumo Standing." All of the rookie divas were introduced once again, but they each came out wearing those fake sumo suits. Vickie was upset at how Kaitlyn rolled down the ramp jokingly. Striker told AJ she has a bye to the finals, so Kaitlyn went against Naomi in the yellow circle in the ring. The object was to push your opponent out of the circle. Naomi tried to push Kaitlyn but ended up falling over and landing outside the circle. Friends Kaitlyn and AJ faced off in the finals AJ got Kaitlyn down on the mat but couldn't quite move her out of the yellow circle. Since they were both down on the mat for so long, they did a restart with both divas standing again. This time, Kaitlyn won it.




Cole and Matthews introduced the Raw Rebound which gave highlights of the end of last night's Raw, involving Randy Orton versus Wade Barrett, John Cena's run-in and The Miz arriving to cash in his Money in the Bank contract to become new WWE Champion.

Backstage, Matt Striker interviewed the 3 rookie divas asking which rookie diva should be eliminated tonight. AJ and Kaitlyn both said Naomi should be sent home so they could see what happens between them for the final. Naomi said that Kaitlyn should go because she clearly can't wrestle. The WWE pros huddled up on stage to decide the latest votes and elimination.




Time for the elimination with all three rookie divas at ringside with Striker. Eliminated tonight was AJ lee in a big surprise vote. Primo looked upset up on the stage. AJ got to speak saying she's not a diva model, but she's the type of girl that ever single guy would want to hang out with. AJ said this isn't the last time you've seen AJ, and she will accomplish all her dreams. Naomi and Kaitlyn are competing in the finals for NXT Season 3. AJ became teary and got hugs from Kaitlyn and Naomi.

They showed Primo comforting AJ up on stage as Naomi and Kaitlyn stood ringside. Josh Matthews says the final round of voting opens tomorrow at Noon EST on WWE.com. The show closed out 12 minutes before the hour.

Old School Raw & Aksana Eliminated


On Monday night we got treated to a special 3-hour Raw dubbed "WWE Old School." They even rolled out the old WWF logo for it along with a whole bunch of former WWE legends. It was surprising to see who showed up and who didn't. The usual suspects were there including Gerald Briscoe, Sgt. Slaughter, Roddy Piper, Dusty Rhodes and Arn Anderson. Also on hand were some surprises including Brooklyn Brawler, Harvey Whippleman, George "The Animal" Steele and Slick. Million Dollar Man, IRS, Hacksaw, Superfly Snuka and Mean Gene were all there to reminisce as well. Guys like The Rock and Stone Cold weren't on hand, but neither were really part of the WWF Old School. Bret Hart was though, and he was clearly missing in action. No Ricky Steamboat either which was strange.

Also strange, and maybe winning award for the worst segment of the year was the whole Aksana Goldust Dusty Rhodes trainwreck backstage. It went from tricking Aksana into thinking her mom was nearby, to Goldust yanking the Million Dollar Belt away, to Million Dollar Man getting it back, giving it to his son, to his son giving it back, to a dance party feature Hacksaw, IRS, Kelly Kelly, Aksana and Million Dollar Man. Talk about a fiasco. It may have saved NXT Season 3 from winning the title of "Worst Segment of the Year."

Speaking of NXT, the latest casualty to be sent home was Aksana, the gold-digging wifey of Goldust. She was saved from deportation for a whole 2 weeks. Not gonna lie, her "Diss the Diva" attempts were hysterical, because she was making no sense whatsoever. For that, she had to go. Now she claims she'll be going to visit Mr. McMahon to petition her elimination. Isn't Mr. McMahon still in a coma though? Good luck with that Aksana!

Anyways, we're getting real close to what should be one of the most riveting PPV's of the year, Survivor Series 2010. Cena's job is on the line and Orton's title is on the line in what could be one of the most interesting matches of 2010. There's also been several more matches added including Sheamus vs Morrison (finally) and a traditional elimination tag team match involving Smackdown stars. Plenty to look forward to on Sunday!

NXT Results 10/19/10


WWE NXT Results from Edmonton,

Canada:

Michael Cole opened with Josh

Matthews, saying there are 2 weeks until the

next elimination. Host Matt Striker

introduced the five remaining NXT rookies:

Kaitlyn, Aksana, Naomi, A.J. and Maxine.

Cole said Maxine's grown on him and he loves

her attitude. Striker said it's the halfway

point of this season. As he was talking

about the competition a loud "Excuse me!"

came from Vickie Guerrero.

Vickie said she can't listen to how Striker

talks about the rookie divas. She walked up

to Kaitlyn asking what she's thinking in

wearing the outfit she is. Vickie said she's

recommited to being Kaitlyn's pro and helping

her win NXT. Vickie had a gift for Kaitlyn

to save her from the disaster. She gave her

a sweatshirt to wear but Kaitlyn tossed it

onto the mat. Maxine piped up saying Kaitlyn

needs to learn some respect and she'd take

her as her pro any day.

Alicia Fox got up from her seat on the stage

to confront her rookie asking what she just

said. Alicia said she could coach her rookie

to beat Vickie's rookie any day. Vickie said

they barely had time to prepare, and Alicia

said the match will happen right now.

Striker said it was official, right now.



Kaitlyn vs. Maxine

commercial. Kaitlyn was now wearing the

hoodie sweatshirt Vickie gave her. Alicia

was on the apron to coach Maxine. They

showed highlights from 2 weeks ago when

Kaitlyn defeated Vickie in a match, and

Kaitlyn hugged Dolph after the match

infuriating Vickie.

Vickie and Alicia wore mic headsets on the

apron to coach their rookies in the match.

Maxine started to wrap the hood around

Kaitlyn's face and choked her against the

bottom rope. Michael Cole took a cell phone

call during the match. Matthews said it must

be the Raw GM because Cole doesn't have

friends. Cole handed the phone to ring

announcer Tony Chimel too. Eventually

Matthews found out it was Cole's mother on

the phone.

Something happened near the ring apron with

Kaitlyn fighting Maxine near Vickie and

Vickie falling off the apron. Maxine managed

to roll up Kaitlyn for a pinfall and held her

butt to secure the pinfall. Kaitlyn tore off

the sweatshirt and tossed it off. Vickie

the Overseas tribute and Make A Wish. Cole

encouraged viewers to stop by WWE.com and

help support WWE in the face of all the

political attacks going on now. "Stand Up

for WWE" is the latest campaign.




Time for the "Who's That Body?" Competition

for the rookie divas. The divas had to

identify various diva or superstar bodies

shown to gain points. They each had air

horns again like the name that tune contest.

Naomi got the first body right with Cody

Rhodes before Striker even gave choices. AJ,

Kaitlyn and Naomi were the only ones to get

answers. Naomi got the last answer right,

Melina, to win with 3, to Kaitlyn and AJ's 2.




When NXT returned, Matthews and Cole

discussed the upcoming Bragging Rights PPV

with Team Raw vs Team Smackdown, as well as

Orton defending the WWE Title against Wade

Barrett. John Cena will be in Barrett's

corner as a Nexus member. They showed video

highlights of how Cena became a member of

Nexus after losing to Barrett at the last

PPV. Ever since, Cena's been subjected to

humiliating orders from Wade Barrett. Cena

was ordered to help Barrett win the Battle

Royal weeks ago to become #1 Contender for

the WWE Title. Just last night, Cena teamed

up with Orton to take on Husky Harris and

Michael McGillicutty. They won but after the

match, Nexus attacked Orton while Cena could

only watch.

Matthews brought up the Goldust Aksana

situation. Backstage, Goldust was petting

the Million Dollar belt and thanked Aksana

for saving it. Goldust said if Aksana

married him she wouldn't be deported.

Goldust said in two weeks they get married.

Goldust got down on one knee and presented a

ring to Aksana to make it official. He moved

his lips towards Aksana but held back, then

wished her luck in the limbo contest later

on.




Time for the next divas competition "The Limbo." Two refs held the limbo stick for the divas to limbo under. As Striker told the refs to "lower the bar" Cole said it's just like the show's bar has been lowered. Kaitlyn and AJ started clowning around under the stick. Kaitlyn was eliminated for not clearing the stick. AJ was also eliminated, followed by Aksana. It came down to Maxine vs Naomi. Naomi ended up with the big win to have 3 competition victories, giving her a chance at immunity.

Twins

At one point, all four divas were involved in the contest. Nikki got pissed, then rushed over and pounced on Naomi. A big brawl ensued with Kelly pulling Naomi away and Brie pulling Nikki away. As it became Brie vs Naomi, Brie offered the rookie a sincere handshake. Later, Nikki tagged in and then talked some trash before shoving Naomi down. Moments later Nikki shoved Naomi off the corner turnbuckle, causing her to fall onto the apron.

Later still showing aggression, Nikki rushed over to knock Kelly off the apron. She pulled Naomi over by her hair to let Brie tag her in. Naomi kicked Nikki out of the ring. Things went awry as Kelly was trying to get into the ring. Nikki shoved Brie away from Naomi then took the winning pinfall on her. Kelly was confused as to why Nikki was so hostile. She checked on Naomi on the mat as the Bellas raised their arms up on the ramp. Brie was confused about her sister's aggressive behavior as Nikki was mocking a crybaby to taunt Kelly and Naomi.

Winner: The Bella Twins win via pinfall over Kelly Kelly & Naomi.

NXT Results 10/12/10


WWE NXT Results from Portland, OR:

Striker was in the ring to once again introduce the NXT Season 3 rookie divas. There's just five now after Jamie Keyes' eliminations: Maxine, Aksana, Kaitlyn, AJ and Naomi. Striker said the next NXT elimination will be in three weeks time. He said the slate is now wiped clean for competitions to get immunity from elimination.

First competition of the night was "WWE Name that Tune." Five seconds of a WWE Superstar's theme song were played and the diva had to use an air horn to buzz in to answer. In Round 1, AJ got off to a quick start with 700 points, while Naomi had 100 and the others had 0. It seemed AJ knew all the answers, except for one, Legion of Doom's theme. AJ scored a final of 1900 to Naomi's 100 and the other divas had 0.



Naomi vs. Alicia Fox

Rookie versus pro in the opening match of the night. Alicia's diva rookie Maxine sat next to Josh Matthews in the commentary area to watch the match, as Alicia knocked Naomi down.

Naomi got on a roll with a number of consecutive takedowns on Alicia. Kelly Kelly was on the apron to cheer her rookie on. Alicia used a fake out pretending she needed time to get to her feet. The ref made Naomi back up and then Alicia kicked her in the gut.

Naomi was able knock Alicia down from the corner apron area, then went to the corner rope. Naomi went for the flying cross body, but Alicia moved away. She came back and botched her scissor kick, missing Naomi's back. She did another moments later for the win.

Winner: Alicia Fox wins via pinfall over Naomi.

Backstage, Goldust was telling his rookie Aksana how proud he is of her. She was still upset about her working papers, saying her attorney said there's not a lot of options. Aksana said she might get sent home for six months to fix things. Goldust said they're going to fix this together, but she has to focus on her match and competition tonight. Goldust gave Aksana some strategy as NXT went to commercial.




After commercial, Striker was back in the ring with the five divas. He said before the second competition of the night, each of the rookies can show off their personalities for the pro's and WWE Universe. Naomi got to go off about Michael Cole and how she didn't want him to be there. AJ described her dream date saying it would involve Xbox or PS3 and ordering a pizza. Kaitlyn tried to insult Vickie saying that she and Dolph bought a gift for her, some Ben Gay perfume. Aksana talked about how much she loves America and the people there. Maxine talked about respect, and how Hornswoggle disrespected her last week with a pie to the face. She said Kaitlyn's been disrespectful to her pro mentor, Vickie and disrespected her relationship with Dolph.

WWE Raw Rebound was up next. It showed highlights of the latest John Cena adventures with The Nexus. In the main event, John Cena faced The Miz in a NO DQ match with the winner becoming the team captain for Team Raw at Bragging Rights PPV. Cena was about to win despite Alex Riley interfering, but Hysky Harris and Michael McGillicutty came to the ring and attacked, allowing The Miz to win.

Post-match, Harris and McGill tried to attack again, but Cena fought back. Wade Barrett came to the ring to stop John Cena then he started to insult him calling him a coward in front of the fans. Wade said Cena's scared of him and that's why he won't lay a finger on him. The show closed as Cena was going up the ramp. Barrett ordered him to stop then did the "You Can't See Me," trademark phrase to mock him.

Cole and Matthews talked about Bragging Rights PPV where Wade Barrett will challenge Orton for the WWE Title with Cena in his corner. Also Team Raw, will be captained by The Miz.

They reviewed the finish of last week's match where Kaitlyn defeated Vickie Guerrero. Post-match, Kaitlyn hugged Dolph Ziggler. Kaitlyn was backstage practicing some punching moves. Vickie walked up to her saying she had hoped she would be eliminated last week. She said they're stuck together for another three weeks, so they might as well let bygones be bygones. Kaitlyn said no problem. Vickie warned her that if she even touches Dolph again, getting eliminated will be the least of her worries.

Matthews introduced a preview trailer of the new Big Show movie "Knucklehead" which will be playing in limited engagement theaters next week. It features Big Show as the world's biggest orphan, who also becomes a wrestler/bareknuckle fighter, going on the road. Mark Feuerstein of "Royal Pains" co-stars in the new film from WWE. See knuckleheadthemovie.com for more information.

Time for the next WWE Diva Rookie challenge, "Power of the Punch." The diva with the hardest punch/highest score would win the competition. Here's the results:

Naomi 801
AJ Lee 362
Kaitlyn 005
Aksana 666
Maxine 605

Kaitlyn messed up on her punch attempt after some theatrics using the Ben Gay on her arm. Aksana scored the symbolic devilish number 666. Naomi won with her high score of 801.



AJ vs. Aksana

Goldust and Primo were on the aprons to coach their rookie divas. Early on, Aksana was on the outside where Goldust gave her some tips. She got back in the ring to try to take control, but AJ got her down with a headlock. Moments later Aksana did the drop down and punch AJ. However, not long after that AJ got a surprise rollup pinfall for the victory.

Winner: AJ wins via pinfall over Aksana.

Post-match, Goldust got on the mic in the ring with Aksana. He told her he knows she's got immigration issues, but there's options. Goldust suggested they could get married and then she'd be able to stay in the country. Goldust told her he'd do anything to help her, so he got down on one knee and proposed to Aksana. Cole called it "riveting." Aksana said "yes" to his proposal. Michael Cole said "finally a reason to watch WWE." NXT went off the air with Cole thanking Goldust for saving the episode tonight.

WWE NXT Results 10/05/10


WWE NXT Results from Wichita, KS:

After a short highlight video with a female narrator saying tonight is the first ever elimination for the NXT Season 3 divas. After the theme song by Kevin Rudolf, Michael Cole talked about how it's a big night, first ever NXT exclusively on WWE.com. He sent it up to the stage with host Matt Striker who introduced the six rookies one-by-one. Josh and Cole gave fun facts about each rookie, with Matthews noting Naomi had been offered to do a verse on the latest Lil' Wayne album.

With the divas on stage and their mentors seated behind them. Time for the first rookie diva competition of the night. Striker said since they're in cowboy company it's time to test the strength of the divas in the Bull Riding contest. Striker said they need some volunteers to show how it's done. The Bella Twins both raised their hands and Striker hand them come get on the bull to ride. Next the six rookie divas went.

Naomi 12.5 seconds
Aksana 17.9 seconds
AJ Lee 9.6 seconds
Jamie 10.9 seconds
Maxine 9.8 seconds
Kaitlyn 10.0 seconds

Aksana is tonight's competition winner with the impressive time of 17.9 seconds!

A commercial was shown for Smackdown on SyFy which will feature Rey Mysterio back to the ring to face the man who took him out, Alberto Del Rio.



Aksana vs. Maxine

Goldust was in the ring with Aksana, and he had Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar Belt with him. They showed highlights from last night's Raw where Goldust took out Ted Dibiase and then hijacked the belt. Maxine came to the ring along with her pro Alicia Fox.

Maxine hit an impressive neckbreaker during the early part of the match. Aksana staged a comeback with clotheslines and kick to the head to get a near fall on Maxine. Aksana whipped Maxine to the corner, then went for a move off the ropes but Maxine dropped her. She had the pinfall, but Aksana reversed it and grabbed the victory.

Winner: Aksana wins via pinfall over Maxine.

Josh Matthews and Michael Cole discussed last night's Raw which featured John Cena joining The Nexus. They introduced the Raw Rebound to show highlights from the show including Cena putting the Nexus armband on. Cena was forced to partner up with Michael Tarver for a tag match against Evan Bourne and Mark Henry. He refused to let Tarver tag out to him, causing them to lose the match. After he dismantled Tarver outside and inside the ring. The Raw GM sent an email telling Cena to take direction for Wade Barrett or get fired from WWE. Later backstage, Barrett ordered Cena to help him win a 20 Man over-the-top rope battle royal. Cena did so, with the match coming down to him and Barrett. Barrett ordered Cena to eliminate himself. Cena eventually got onto the apron and dropped to the floor to give Wade the win.

Josh Matthews said tonight rookie diva Kaitlyn gets to take out her aggression against her mentor Vickie Guerrero in the ring. Also tonight, another competition, the rookie diva talent show.




Striker was in the ring with the six divas for the next competition, the Rookie Diva Talent Show. Each diva would show off their talent. Cole told Matthews to wake him up in 10 minutes so he can take a nap.

Aksana went first and did pushups with her legs on the backs of her arms. The audience seemed impressed. Naomi was next and did a rap song which featured lyrics about Cena, Raw, Smackdown, Kelly and Naomi. AJ was up next and said she would give Michael Cole a personality. She was joking but then showed off her flexibility skills with a variety of poses and splits. Next up was Jamie who said her talent is turning people on. Striker had a dumbfounded look on his face afterwords.

Kaitlyn went next and said she's an artist. There was an easel in the ring and Kaitlyn started using a big marker. Her pro mentor Vickie Guerrero was up on stage looking not so happy. Kaitlyn drew some sort of picture and then revealed a stick figure of Vickie Guerrero with a big booty saying "Excuse Me!" Maxine said she wanted to take the opportunity to apologize to Hornswoggle for last week's mishap where she pushed the wheelbarrow and he fell at the end. She had a pie she had baked for Hornswoggle and asked him to come to the ring to accept it from her. Horney came to the ring and Maxine got down on her knees. As expected, Maxine got smashed in the face with a pie by Horney.

The winner thanks to crowd applause was Kaitlyn. That gave Kaitlyn her third competition win, tying AJ. Striker asked the crowd who they thought should be immune from elimination and Kaitlyn won on crowd cheers.

Cole and Matthews had the WWE Make-A-Wish video package show.




Backstage, Goldust was telling Aksana how he loves to hold onto the Million Dollar belt. Just then a man from US immigration department walked in asking for Aksana. The man gave her paperwork saying she will be deported if she doesn't comply with having working papers for the United States. Aksana got upset but Goldust told her he'd take care of things and not to worry.

Cole and Matthews brought up the unstable history of Kaitlyn and her mentor Vickie Guerrero. They showed a highlight video package including Vickie's demeaning treatment of her rookie.

Kaitlyn vs. Vickie Guerrero

Vickie was accompanied to the ring by Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler, and his music played for the entrance. Ziggler was in a suit and Nikes while Vickie wore an "Excuse Me!" blue and black jumpsuit. Ziggler watched from ringside.

Vickie did a variety of warm-up moves to prepare for the match, wasting time in the ring instead of starting the match. Kaitlyn walked over and shoved her, so Vickie shoved back. Kaitlyn hit a drop toe hold to trip Vickie to the mat. Vickie asked the ref to check her lip for blood. Vickie got a kick in and then slapped Kaitlyn, so Kaitlyn slapped back. Vickie dropped down in the corner and rolled to the outside. Kaitlyn ducked through the ropes to ask if Vickie was OK, and she grabbed her by the hair to yank her outside.

Vickie started to beat up Kaitlyn on the outside now, screaming at her to "get up!" Kaitlyn was crawling in the ring with Vickie taunting her and striking her. Vickie started choking Kaitlyn against the ropes by sitting on her on the middle rope. Vickie kept doing fake pity attempts pretending she was hurt. Finally, Kaitlyn picked her up for a slam to the mat and a near fall. Vickie backed towards the ropes and as Kaitlyn came at her, Vickie yanked her into the ropes. Vickie screamed at Dolph outside the ring asking if he was going to help her. Just then, Kaitlyn seized the moment to roll up Vickie for the surprise pinfall.

Post-match Kaitlyn was ecstatic. Ziggler climbed into the ring and Kaitlyn rushed over to hug him as Vickie was screaming. Vickie angrily yelled at Dolph then left the ring.

Winner: Kaitlyn wins via pinfall over Vickie Guerrero.




When NXT returned, Josh Matthews said there will be a replay of tonight's NXT at 7 EST on WWE.com Wednesday night. They sent it to ringside for the first ever NXT elimination. Striker reminded everyone that Kaitlyn earned immunity for tonight.

They showed pictures of the divas up on the Titantron and finally stopped on Jamie. Jamie was the first elimination of NXT Season 3. Jamie wished all of the NXT rookies the best of luck and thanked the fans and all pros.

Striker thanked everyone and said NXT will continue next week. Cole said with Jamie eliminated, there's just five more to get rid of. Matthews said one will be the winner.

WWE NXT moves to WWE.com from SyFy


While this Friday will mark the beginning of the WWE Smackdown era on SyFy, this past Tuesday was the end of the NXT era for the network. A huge announcement came on last night's edition of the show, with Michael Cole and Josh Matthew reporting NXT Season 3 will move to WWE.com exclusively as of Tuesday, October 5th, 2010. This only affects the United States, who will now get the webcast version, while other countries will still see it on television. The reason, according to PWInsider.com:

"..domestically, NXT will become a WWE.com property as WWE was unable to sell the show to another cable network under the NBC Universal umbrella and contractually, could not take it outside of their auspices on cable."

Apparently, SyFy wanted to bring back its hit show "Caprica" too. NXT Season 3 wasn't exactly pulling top ratings, and the recent wrestling action was pretty terrible. Consider the fact that last night's NXT show had zero matches, a bunch of challenges, in-ring confrontations and then recaps of the main events from Raw and Smackdown. However, they did book an interesting contest for the first NXT episode on WWE.com. Kaitlyn has challenged her mentor Vickie Guerrero to a match. Vickie laughed at the notion but accepted, saying she plans to show Kaitlyn who the pro is. Vickie is not quite a wrestling diva, so what will she do to manipulate this one? Regardless of that, Kaitlyn can gain popularity with fans over the move.

Speaking of fans and voting, elimination #1 is next Tuesday as well. Voting has opened up over at http://nxt.wwe.com with A.J. Lee being immune from elimination, having won 3 challenges. Kaitlyn and Naomi have each won 2, while Jamie has 1 win under her belt. Aksana and Maxine have yet to win a challenge, so it's likely one of them will get voted off first. This contest may very well come down to A.J. vs Naomi vs. Kaitlyn. It's hard to see Kaitlyn getting voted off with a big match pending against Vickie. Jamie, Aksana and Maxine seem to be struggling in terms of personality, but that's not to say all of these women wouldn't make great eye-candy in some capacity as new divas.

Another interesting thing with this whole NXT Season 3 move is the recent walk-off by Michael Cole and then his return a week later. He keeps dissing the show, making you wonder what's the point? Was that WWE's big plan to reel in viewers? Were they expecting a huge increase in ratings the next week after Cole left (in which CM Punk was on commentary)? For some reason they said Punk would be back again, but he wasn't on last night's show. Something's very fishy, but you can tell someone (maybe Mr. McMahon) was not happy with the wrestling on the show, or the overall way it was going. Much better suited for WWE.com, but unfortunate because NXT was a fun show to see on television and had potential if done properly. This season has been too much like Diva Search Contests though.

How do you feel about NXT moving to WWE.com? Will you watch or skip it?

WWE NXT Results 09/28/10


WWE NXT Results from :

They started off with highlights from last week's challenges: Musical Chairs and Talk the Talk. AJ won both competitions, giving her two wins just like Naomi.

Matt Striker was up on the stage to introduce the NXT Season 3 diva rookies: Aksana, AJ, Kaitlyn, Jamie, Naomi and Maxine. Striker said starting tomorrow the WWE Universe can cast votes on WWE.com at 12 noon to determine the WWE's next breakout diva. Tonight's competition is "Wheelbarrow Challenge." The divas each had to push a wheelbarrow around the ring. Whomever did it fastest would get a challenge win. Striker said they needed to make it tougher though. He called out Hornswoggle to put in the wheelbarrow to push around.

Maxine went first and got 14.7 seconds, even though she shoved the wheelbarrow after crossing the finish line and Hornswoggle fell on the ramp. Hornswoggle responded by biting her on the butt. Next up was Naomi who did the contest in 15.2 seconds, not quick enough to beat Maxine. Jamie got 14.4 seconds to edge out Maxine. Kaitlyn got a very impressive 12.0 seconds to take the lead. Next up was AJ Lee and got 17.7 seconds. Aksana got 13.9 seconds, giving Kaitlyn the win for her second competition.




They presented a this week in WWE history segment. September 22, 1997 Monday Night Raw was the historic moment which included Cactus Jack vs Triple H in a Falls Count Anywhere match. Also o nthe show, Vince McMahon who had been a longtime announcer confronted Stone Cold Steve Austin in the ring. McMahon ultimately fell victim to a stunner and Austin was taken away in cuffs.

Josh Matthews introduced a video package on AJ Lee, who represents all the nerds out there. She said she stayed home on Saturday nights playing video games and was fine with that. She talked about waiting in line for eight hours for Wrestlemania tickets with her dad. She said her passion and determination will get her to the end of NXT.

Still to come tonight, another challenge: Diss the Diva.

Raw Rebound was shown once NXT returned. It was a recap of the Jericho vs Orton main event. Orton was ready for the win, but Sheamus came in to try to ambush The Viper. Instead, Orton DDT'd Sheamus off the middle rope. As Sheamus prepared to get up, Orton got ready for a punt kick. As he ran, Jericho caught him with a Codebreaker. Sheamus got out of the ring, and Jericho grabbed a steel chair. Jericho swung at Orton in the ring, but Orton avoided the chair shot, then hit the RKO on Jericho. With Sheamus still watching from ringside, Orton delivered the punt kick to Jericho, requiring medical staff to take him out on a stretcher. Cole said Sheamus and Orton meet Sunday in The Viper's Playground: Hell in a Cell.




A special announcement came from Michael Cole and Josh Matthews that starting next Tuesday, WWE NXT will only be seen on WWE.com, instead of SyFy. It will be the only place to find out the first NXT Season 3 diva elimination.

A background video was shown on Kaitlyn. She was a huge tomboy since birth, but got into fitness competitions as well. She feels she can showcase more of her personality as a diva. She said she wants to be the one that everyone can laugh with. She wants to show girls they can be goofy and still be feminine. Her role model is Beth Phoenix.




The theme song for Hell in a Cell is "Sacrifice" by Atom Smash, available for download everywhere.

They showed a replay of what went down on Friday Night Smackdown involving Kane and the Undertaker. In the segment, Kane arrived to the ring to make a new challenge to Undertaker. Kane said he plans to destroy Undertaker for good, this time in a Hell in a Cell match. He said Taker's not welcome in Hell, unless he brings him there. As Kane kept talking, suddenly the Undertaker's bell sounded. Next up was the ominous theme music, as druids brought a casket down to the ring. They left it at the bottom of the ramp, ringside.

As the lights came on, the casket was bright red, Kane style. Kane went over towards the casket saying "the games are over big brother." He ripped open the casket lid, and laying inside was Paul Bearer with the classic urn. He sat up anad the lights wnet out, with Undertaker's bell sounding. As the lights finally came back, Taker was in the ring behind Kane, with Paul Bearer standing in front of him. Bearer raised up the urn, and Undertaker went over to attack Kane ferociously, seeming to have recovered his strength. He was about to go for the chokeslam, but Kane rolled out of harm's way and got up the ramp. Bearer held up the urn as Taker knelt down. Kane yelled "Nooooo!!" from up on the ramp, realizing Undertaker may have recovered his powers.




Time for "Diss the Diva" where each rookie diva had to diss her competitors. Aksana and AJ went first. Kaitlyn tried to impersonate Naomi, by walking around with her butt stuck out. Naomi took exception and kicked her down. When Naomi went she talked about how Kaitlyn was talking trash on her video confessional. AJ ended up getting the victory based on crowd cheers. As she celebrated the win, Vickie Guerrero started her "Excuse me" routine and came to the ring.

Vickie confronted her rookie Kailtyn, saying week after week she's tried to mold her in her likeness. Vickie asked the audience to just feel her pain for once. Vikcie said she wishes Kaitlyn would step it up. Kaitlyn got on the mic saying she's tried her hardest from the start. She said next week is the first elimination and she won't have another chance to do this. She said she's going to step it up and challenge Vickie to a match. Vickie asked her if she remembers who she's talking to. Vickie said she'll accept her challenge next week and show her why she's the pro.

After she accepted the match, Vickie suddenly slapped Kaitlyn in the face. Kaitlyn fell to the mat, then got back up and shoved Vickie down. She jumped on her to start the cat fight. Eventually, Matt Striker had to break things up with Michael Cole yelling he wishes he was Striker right now. Vickie Guerrero backed up the ramp looking angrily towards the ring at Kaitlyn who was still holding her slapped chin.

Jericho's Back in Six Pack, Cole exits NXT


A lot has happened in just the past several days in the WWE. On WWE Raw, we saw Chris Jericho find his way back into the Six Pack Challenge at Night of Champions. Meanwhile on NXT we saw Michael Cole become fed up with working that lesser gig, and he decided to walk off. Some interesting developments, but where will they lead?

Let's start with the latest episode of NXT Season 3, featuring all diva rookies. This time around we got the buildup of a story many of us should've expected. Kaitlyn has drawn some jealousy and the wrath of her mentor, Smackdown consultant Vickie Guerrero. On the episode Vickie's boyfriend, the IC champ Dolph Ziggler was on hand, and helped Kaitlyn win her first match, a mixed tag against AJ and Primo. Afterwords, Vickie wasn't having the hug going on between Dolph as Kaitlyn jumped on him. She let Dolph have it back stage, but you can tell this is far from over.

The obstacle course challenges are fun to watch because they involve an element of athleticism. However, the Joke off Challenge, is well a Joke. They never had the male NXT rookies do these and most of the improv mic time challenges end up backfiring on them. The joke challenge was no different as really only Jaimie showed creativity in her joke, hence the winner. Two of the jokes fell flat and turned into catfights. It doesn't seem to give the WWE Universe much to go on.

For the grand finale of NXT, announcer Michael Cole decided that he'd had enough of this train wreck of a season of NXT. Cole banged on a gong set up next to the commentary table, and then went backstage. It's a shame because the interactions between him and colleague Josh Matthews were pretty humorous at times. You have to wonder who replaces Cole, Matt Striker or Todd Grisham, since NXT usually takes place on the same night as Smackdown tapings. Many are saying Cole was written off because he didn't want to travel an extra day with WWE.

As for Raw, Cole's regular show, we saw the dynamic of the Six Pack Challenge change. First off, we saw John Morrison get a shot at a spot in the match at NOC, if he could beat Sheamus in a Falls Count Anywhere match. One of the better Raw matches in some time, featuring some amazing stunts from Morrison. He could very well be the next Jeff Hardy type daredevil performer in the ring. Morrison's hardcore training has payed off in his athletic moves, but unfortunately he fell victim to a Chris Jericho chairshot. That allowed Sheamus to win, and kept Morrison out of the match.

From there, Jericho staged a sit down in the ring until the Raw GM sent an email. He gave Jericho a shot to get into the Challenge, if he could defeat The Hart Dynasty in a Handicap steel cage match. And Jericho did just that. DH Smith escaped the cage, which left Jericho against Kidd. Jericho was able to finally win by using the Walls of Jericho after piledriving Kidd from the corner. Another entertaining match on this edition of Raw, and Jericho's back in the Six Pack Challenge, which will now also be Elimination style.

Predictions will be coming soon for Night of Champions, but the early pick here for the WWE Title match is Wade Barrett. Seems like his time to win it, although The Miz is still lurking with that briefcase in hand...

NXT Diva Rookie Kaitlyn aka Celeste Bonin


Well the internet is surely buzzing about NXT Season 3 rookie Kaitlyn, whose real name is Celeste Bonin. Kaitlyn is currently signed with Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) as Ricki Vaughn, so you can call her Ricki, Kaitlyn, Celeste or smokin' hot!

Kaitlyn debuted on NXT Season 3 as a replacement rookie for Vickie Guerrero, who according to storylines fired her other rookie, Aloisa, the 6-foot-9 Amazonian woman. Aloisa had a lot of buzz heading into the show, as to what would happen with her. She was a gargantuan bigger than Chyna. It's still unclear if she's done with WWE, as you never know if she'll show up at the end of Season 3 to attack all the diva rookies. After all the past two NXT seasons have ended with competitors attacking someone.

Back to Kaitlyn, she's an early favorite of the WWE Universe, although you could easily pick 3 of your favorites of the six. Kaitlyn is involved with Pro Mentor Vickie Guerrero who gets tons of heat at WWE events from the live fans. With that in mind, and the fact Kaitlyn is one hot body, it will burn her into fans' minds. Some may go for AJ, or Naomi, but Kaitlyn surely has potential. She's been compared already to a WWE version of TNA's Velvet Sky. WWE is likely taking note of the buzz and will keep her around with that in mind. Ricki Vaughn is seen here on FCW's Talent page.

You can find more info about Celeste Bonin here at Diva-dirt.com, along with sexy photos. Also, check out her Kaitlyn NXT Season 3 photos here at WWE.com. Kaitlyn is also a workout fanatic, and you can see a video of her (as a brunette) here at YouTube.com.

The WWE Universe gets to vote on their favorite diva rookie in about four weeks, and Kaitlyn depending on how she goes the next several weeks, could be on top.

In case you didn't get her name, Kaitlyn was the one in the tight purple skirt who got to dance "The Robot" and "The Carlton Banks" with commentator Josh Matthews.

Who was your favorite NXT Season 3 rookie, so far?
