Several readers emailed and tweeted to let us know that this week’s Divas match, which included a pretty game-changing angle, was scrapped from the Australian broadcast of SmackDown where it aired early this morning.

The episode will air tonight in the US on Syfy, however, usually, the Australian broadcast features all of the same content as the US version, which could lead one to speculate on whether the entire angle has been scrapped.

In the segment, as speculated recently, Kaitlyn was due to turn heel and align herself with Beth Phoenix and Natalya.

The segment was filmed this past Tuesday in Jacksonville, FL. Fan footage from the taping was posted to YouTube this week, giving us a glimpse of what was due to happen.

Watch that clip below:

Spoiler:

DD's Thoughts: As we all know, storylines change all the time in WWE. It could be a case of WWE scrapping the angle because they’ve decided not to go down the storyline route of Kaitlyn joining the Divas of Doom. On the other hand, it could be that they’re simply delaying the angle for another time. We’ll see how things work out…

there are a number of different possibilities. personally i don't think Kaitlyn's done much to make people actually care if she turns heel. they should keep the Chick Busters together and give them more exposure than just being Beth and Natalya's punching bags. add Tamina to the stable instead since she's already heel and giving her an actual mainstream storyline will help her grow in the ring.

WWE just can't seem to do soft turns for the divas anymore. look at Melina's heel turn and Alicia's face turn. something like this needs time to actually build up properly. make the fans care that AJ and Kaitlyn are splitting up. i can't believe WWE has been so trigger happy with them when it's the Bellas who need to be split up more than anything else

I agree with you Ricky.

Tamina would be the perfect fit. Even though she is still learning herself, she like Nattie and Beth has the power behind her, so she can cover it better ... true yes Kaitlyn also has the power and is learning, but I really think she has the right sort of charisma to be a top face given time.

Tamina needs to stop managing and start wrestling, I can really see a big year for her next year....which is funny since WWE listed her as someone to watch this year....we watched....but she hasn't done squat.

But does Tamina fit the Pin-Up part of Pin-Up Strong? The concept is Trish, Lita, & Victoria, remember, being the types that dominate in the ring then go do those bikini photo shoots in exotic locations they used to do.

I don't know why they stopped doing that. Yeah, PG and all, but it's not like kids don't see women in bikinis every Summer. If they're trying to be Disney, we're always seeing Demi, Selena, Miley, etc, running around the beaches in bikinis. Hell, the goody goody, promise ring wearing, sweet, innocent, Girl Next Door Selena wears thongs and short dresses that also show a lot of clevage.

I mean, really... Trying to be more kid friendly than Disney?

The biggest irony about the shift to PG is the women wrestlers were the ones pushed down in favor of the lingerie/swimsuit models who were hired mainly to be the potential Playboy pool. Meanwhile, the Knockouts, more wrestling oriented, turned up the sexuality.

Nor do I believe she would be a believable heel... at least at this stage in her career.

can we not mention what happened with the divas 3454534 years ago?
tamina would fit.
and they are turning aj and kaitlyn both heel is what they are thinking about now.

Kaitlyn sucks anyway

NO I DONT want Aj turning Heel she is a terrible no Horrible heel I saw her little heel act in fcw and she was horrible. Worst heel I ever seen in my life.

I miss those days. They did more photoshoots back then, and the pics that they took were larger, and higher quality than the ones they do now.

You need to take that up with Beth & Natalya, not me. It's their definitions. Your argument is with them.

Take it up with the Bellas, too, since Nikki, in her responses to the infamous WWE.com article (which also invoked the Golden Era as being what it was about) made it into a Barbie Dolls vs Golden Era Divas thing.
