The Match: Huge diva tag matches are notorious for being a bit of a mess. It seems like they’re always short and only a few girls get showcased well. The rest are involved in a huge melee where the good girls prevail. Last night wasn’t really that different. However, for involving 14 divas and being only a couple minutes long, it was entertaining! All the divas got the kick someone’s butt. Michelle first got her hands on Mickie James after the ladies lined up. Melina was her next victim. Michelle’s always one to mix it up so we didn’t get to see the Faith Breaker. We aren’t complaining though. The McKick connected in Melina’s face. Her momentum was cut short when Mickie kicked her in the gut then got the Women’s Champ with an Implant DDT. Mickie got the win for her team, pinning Alicia Fox for the second time in the last two days. Okay, so it wasn’t a great match; Michelle lost and she barely got to wrestle. It was still a treat for her fans to see her on Raw though! There’s nothing like that live atmosphere. That doesn’t mean we want her jumping to the Red Side, but we’ll take a special appearances every now and again!

The Storyline: Last Friday Beth Phoenix played an integral role in Michelle’s title defense against Melina. We considered the possibility that Beth could want to face Michelle again, especially now that she’s Women’s Champion. The fact is Michelle has a huge target on her back, so really the idea that another diva is after her could be feasible. Beth’s a dominant force in WWE. However, this week the two blondes were on the same team. Michelle was even cheering Beth on at one point. There’s someone else on Raw who has been a constant thorn in Michelle’s side. Mickie James. These two have squared off many times; PPVs, Raw, WrestleMania. If Bragging Rights doesn’t feature another huge tag match with Smackdown Divas against Raw Divas, maybe we’ll see Michelle and Mickie face off again. One on one. Champ against Champ. Michelle vs. Mickie has been a match that’s been requested by fans all over the internet. Even WWE put a little something about it in one issue of WWE Magazine. Melina, Beth and Mickie; who might be next?

The Fashion: At first glance, Michelle’s team seem to have gotten the short end of the stick. Mickie and her crew got Steelers jerseys, while Michelle and Co were dressed up in plain white jerseys. They could have worn Eagles gear if nothing else! On the other hand, one of Michelle’s favorite things to wear is a plain white tank top. White top, black pants; it’s a little dull, but we’ll go with it. Besides, there are bigger things to be worrying about. Almost all the other girls were wearing athletic shoes of some kind. Michelle still wore her wrestling boots! She had the chance to show off some of her awesome kicks (and we know she has some!), but she went with boots that we see every week. Insert a sadface here. Her attire wasn’t the best we’ve seen. We did like her hair though. It’s hard for Michelle to go wrong when she sports soft curls and fresh make up. Sometimes less is more. She could have gone over the top with super curly hair and dark eyes, but she kept it clean and we like it!
