The Match: Another great one courtesy of Michelle McCool and Melina! These two kill it each and every time they’re in the ring. As we’ve mentioned before, they really could become the modern day Trish and Lita. Michelle, as always, presents us with yet another new wrestling hold. This time it was another submission, that being the Dragon Sleeper. She never fails to impress us! Also the ladies take it to the outside during their match (again!!!) which only makes us crave a special stipulation match even more! C’mon WWE, give us a Street Fight or Hardcore match with Michelle and Melina! Michelle’s already said she’d love to do it and we’re fairly certain Melina would agree. Maybe one day that dream will come true… Until then, we have to deal with the upset on this week’s episode of Smackdown. Yes, Melina got the pin fall victory over Michelle. Hey, she may have won this battle, but she certainly hasn’t won the war…or the Women’s Title!

The Storyline: In a backstage segment, Melina found the Women’s Locker Room (or Josie’s shrine considering last week’s show events involving Michelle and Ziggler…) covered in pictures of Michelle and Dolph Ziggler canoodling. In an attempt to save her friend Maria from seeing these pictures, she tore them down, only to be walked in on by Maria who accused Melina of doing it to embarrass her. Aww… so sad. Just goes to prove that Michelle and Layla have the brains in this division. Maybe Maria will join them. Probably not, she’s not that smart. All of that basically ends the friendship between Maria and Melina, which no doubt gets inside Melina’s head. She’ll be so busy focusing on that and the emotional stress it’s causing that it will distract her during a match with Michelle, possibly a title match. The moral of that story is Michelle just retained her title yet again! Time to move on, Melina. You’ve had your chance.

The Fashion: It’s so nice to see Michelle back in the ring, doing what she does best. Her silver ring attire is no doubt one of our favorites as we loved her Silver Fox photos. Her hair looked great, and ya know? For someone who had food poisoning that night, she sure didn’t show it! Our favorite accessory, and no doubt Michelle’s too, the Women’s Championship was accompanied by a knee brace. It was of course bedazzled with a cross to match the rest of gear. Other than that, there’s really nothing too special to report this week. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Ater all these weeks of having Michelle dressed in street clothes, it’s a bit refreshing to see her back in the ring and in her wrestling attire. Oh and, if you watch closely during her entrance you’ll catch a glimpse of her brand new entrance video! Let’s have some faith that the full version will be released on dotcom soon!
