The Match: Melina vs. Layla: the sequel. Michelle found herself at ringside, with crutches and her Women’s Championship, enjoying a front row seat of all the Diva action. Prior to the match, Michelle McCool cut a pretty darn good promo; talking about how Melina is at fault for her knee injury (which bless her heart, she stood in stilettos though she wasn’t medically cleared), thus everyone’s disappointment in tonight’s show, which is true. Speaking of the truth, it’s true, it’s true, and people paid good money in Phoenix, AZ to see Michelle in action. Thanks to Melina, that didn’t happen. Thanks, Melina. Layla put up a good battle, but fell victim to Melina’s finisher. Figured she was finished for the night, Michelle tried to make a quick and silent exit after having paid her respect to the loyal WWE Fans. Hey, if she isn’t going to wrestle, consider you lucky enough to have seen her live. But, not so fast Champ. Before Michelle could gimp away ever so eloquently, Melina made it a point to shove Michelle down on her apple bottom, enjoying the view from the poor, helpless, fallen Champion. I’m sorry, but have you ever seen Michelle attack the handicap? No, she hasn’t. She’s got much more class and dignity than that. Melina, shame on you. Shame!

The Storyline: It’s good to see that while Michelle may be out of action, she isn’t out of a job. The Michelle vs. Melina feud is still going quite strong; however, I am a bit lost. From time to time, anyway. Having Melina shove Michelle down not once, but twice? Michelle taking the high road and not even going in for an attack? This seems much too out-of-character for both Divas. For no other apparent reason than to just be a bully, Melina has been shoving Michelle flat on her ass. In turn, Michelle cowers and collects herself then carries off with the rest of her day. Seems like Melina may be turning heel, and Michelle may play the neutral role. Either that, or WWE needs to get their priorities straight. Next week, I’d like to see Michelle at least swing a crutch or two at Melina’s head, and if all else fails, you can never go wrong with tossing a pitcher of water at another Diva. Oh, the days Trish Strauts and Stephanie McMahon went at it. Ah, memories!

The Fashion: While we did enjoy Michelle’s fashionable attire last week (we have since learned the outfit is BCBG from head to toe), we were left with a sour flavor after having learnt Nikki Bella had been photographed for WWE photo sessions and during a candid party night before Michelle had the opportunity to shine. Sloppy seconds? McCool is so above that! This week, we’re treated with a black chiffon crop top that had us thinking of Britney Spears (in her hey day, of course)! Finished off with black skinny jeans and peep toe stilettos, Michelle kept it very simple, but also very chic. When in doubt, go with black. And of course, Michelle’s favorite bangle/cuff makes an appearance, the staple in nearly every wardrobe. With this number, attention was drawn to both her arms and midriff, which goes on to showcase that every curve of Michelle McCool’s body on display, hadn’t gone unnoticed in the gym. Michelle’s trying something different with her hair this week, and we’re responding well. Waves and side bangs keep her look fresh, but as the season progresses; we wouldn’t mind a pleasant surprise of lowlights in her future! A full fashion recovery from last week, we knew you had it in ya, champ!
