I've decided to bring back the weekly top 5!
This time, however, I'm splitting up the Divas and Knockouts.
One list for Divas, and one for Knockouts.
Divas
#5
Maxine
This week, Maxine competed in a singles match against Alicia Fox on NXT. Even though she lost, Maxine is still seen weekly on the televised (WWE.com) show. Maxine probably has more air time throughout a couple of months than Rosa who's been there for a couple of years!
#4
Eve Torres
Monday night, Eve was scheduled to have a match with Beth Phoenix where, had Eve won, she would've had the chance to challenge Beth for the Divas Championship on a later occasion. Unfortunately, Kane came and crashed the party. However, due to the match stipulation, that would lead someone to believe that Eve is still in contendorship for the Divas Championship.
#3
The Bella Twins (Brie & Nikki)
This week, Brie had a match against Kelly Kelly on WWE Superstars, and Nikki helped Brie and pulled out an upset. Last week, the Bellas were victorious against Kelly and Eve in tag team action. The Bella Twins are on a roll lately, but will that lead to anything?
#2
Alicia Fox
Divas cannot seem to pin Alicia Fox's shoulders to the mat for the 1-2-3! Alicia is completely dominating every single one of her matches. This week, she faced off against her former NXT Rookie, Maxine and defeated her after a roll-up reversal. Who will challenge Alicia Fox next and will they be able to pin her?
#1
Tamina
For the second week in a row, on Smackdown, Tamina defeated Natalya in singles action. This week, it only took her approximately 30 seconds to jump off the top turnbuckle with a Superfly Splash! Will Tamina continue her dominance over her Smackdown rival, Natalya?
Knockouts
#5
Madison Rayne
On the PPV, Gail Kim was to defend the Knockouts Championship against Mickie James. However, that meant that Madison Rayne was going to be not too far behind Gail. Velvet Sky made sure Madison wasn't going to interfere when she trapped Madison in a cage that was lifted in the air. But that didn't stop Madison Rayne from throwing a few pairs of brass knuckles in the ring for Gail. Little did she know that her plan would backfire, when Mickie knocked Gail out with a punch, which called for a DQ, meaning Gail was still the Champion.
Also, Madison is vying to become the new Knockouts VP. Will she get the job, or will Velvet sneak up and steal the job Karen Jarrett "gave" her?
#4
ODB
This week, ODB returned to Knockouts action, facing Winter in singles competition on iMPACT! With Eric Young by her side, she picked up a win with a TKO. Her new relationship with Eric Young looks a little strange. What will happen next week with ODB and EY, if anything?
#3
Velvet Sky
After a month of having disappeared off TV, Velvet came back at Genesis and talked to Sting about becoming the new Knockouts VP. Things seem to be going her way, after she showed Sting what the "Velvet Touch" could do. The "Velvet Touch" consisted of trapping Madison Rayne in a cage during Gail's Championship match against Mickie. Velvet wanted Mickie to have a fair shot at the title... without interruption from Madison. Will Velvet Sky become the new Knockouts VP? I definitely hope so!
#2
Gail Kim
The only reason Gail is not in the #1 spot is because of the end of her title match at Genesis. Gail Kim defended the Knockouts Championship against Mickie James, while her partner, Madison Rayne, was in a cage above the ring. When Madison threw brass knuckles into the ring, Gail Kim grabbed them and she wanted to cheat to win... again. But that's not what happened! Mickie James took the brass knuckles and gave Gail a good punch to the face. Gail may have retained her title, but she was the one laying on her back at the end of the match. Will Gail ever win a title match without Madison's help?
#1
Mickie James
This week, the number 1 spot definitely deserves to go to Mickie James. Mickie doesn't just want the Knockouts Championship, she also wants to beat the respect out of Gail Kim. She's had enough of Gail's bullshit and we witnessed just how far she's willing to go to do that. On Genesis (as mentioned above), Mickie didn't just punch Gail in the face... she used brass knuckles to make sure that it hurt. Sure, it might have disqualified her, but I'm sure she felt a lot of satisfaction after that hook. Is Mickie still the #1 contendor? Tune in to find out!
