The Storyline: While Michelle McCool may have finished off Melina once and for all, we don’t believe this will be the last bout between the two. With Eve Torres quickly making her way up the totem pole on SmackDown, it looks as though Michelle may have a score to settle and put out this “flash in the pan” out just as well. It should be interesting to see which path of destruction Michelle will take. Word has it, new WWE Divas Champion, Mickie James had a post-match promo after her victorious win, and she wasn’t exactly looking to make friends with Michelle McCool. Mickie called Michelle out, saying how she dare disrespect the Women, former champions, who have paved the way before her. Michelle caught wind of Mickie’s words, and during her live WWE.Com chat, Michelle had said she doesn’t mind the noise Mickie is creating – she can beat her, just like that. Is there a feud brewing between these two Champions? Only time shall tell. But, hey, Mickie… Michelle’s been there, done that. Second best doesn’t cut it. Remember who was first.

The Fashion: “Kiss Me – I’m Irish!” Green is such a wonderful color on the WWE Women’s Champion, who knew? Perhaps it’s because most of us are green with envy, that it especially compliments Michelle’s features; a great contrast to her bronze skin and golden hair. As noted earlier, Michelle McCool has a tradition of her own: for every PPV she appears on, she’s going to debut new ring attire. Her green number is by far our favorite in recent months. At first, it had taken some adjusting for us to get used to the plethora of crosses that surround Michelle’s body, and while we still think she could lose a couple, we do like it. Michelle’s hair and make up was nothing short of ferocious! Dark, heavy eyes with a wavy golden mane, she looked fabulous! The Champion of champions, the First Lady of SmackDown, she worked it, and best of all, she looked… you guessed it, fierce!
