  • What Led To Kaitlyn Winning NXT, Notes On Eliminated Rookies

    It is said that fan balloting for the winner of NXT played a huge part in WWE’s decision to have Kaitlyn beat Naomi for the season three crown.

    While the company does not disclose details on how eliminations are determined, Kaitlyn won a vote — advertised as 50 percent audience and 50 percent Pros.

    Besides Kaitlyn, AJ is expected to be retained on television, likely with Primo on Raw. While not confirmed, it is expected that Kaitlyn will join the Smackdown brand to continue her interaction with Vickie Guerrero.

    In regards to the runner-up of NXT season three, Naomi, many people within the company are high on her as a long-term project due to her stellar athletic ability.

    Meanwhile, there is no clear-cut decision on the future of Maxine and Aksana. It’s expected that both will continue working Florida Championship Wrestling events.

    Jamie Keyes was released following her elimination and a number of people were surprised to see her brought back for last night’s show. The other women were on the road every week with WWE following their elimination.

  • Backstage Heat On MVP, Reason For Awful Divas Match, Cena

    — It was reported last week by the Pro Wrestling Torch that MVP developed heat backstage for moaning about the company’s younger performers being promoted ahead of him. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting this week that the SmackDown Superstar garnered heat for recent Twitter remarks complaining about his lack of a push with the organization.

    — The reason given for the substandard outcome of the Kaitlyn vs. Maxine bout on last week’s episode of NXT was because the ring was late in being set up and the Rookie Divas had no time to plan their match move-for-move beforehand like they usually do. The ring setup was delayed because it had to be rigged for The Undertaker to pull Kane down through it for the evening’s SmackDown taping.

    — John Cena has not appeared at WWE live events as of late because he’s been in New Mexico filming Blood Brothers for WWE Studios.

  • NXT Diva Responds To Criticism, WWE Still Hauling “Piggy James”

    — Last night’s match between Maxine and Kaitlyn on NXT is being almost universally panned by both wrestling fans and Joey Styles alike.

    “And I thought WWECW was hard to watch. OMG that match stunk on ice,” Styles said of the match on Twitter. “After that match, Mae Young is rolling over in her grave…and she’s still alive!”

    Maxine responded to criticism of the match on Twitter, writing, “Yea the match was tough. It’s hard to lead someone with 2 months experience almost impossible.”

    Kaitlyn had no prior wrestling experience prior to being signed by WWE in July.

    — Though Mickie James has long since departed from World Wrestling Entertainment, the company’s production staff is still hauling around equipment used during the storyline deriding her weight to shows.

    Once a storyline has been completed, items used during the storyline are either trashed or dropped off at an undisclosed warehouse near WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.

  • WWE Officials High On NXT Rookie Diva, Aksana Translated, More

    — Following Vickie Guerrero’s firing of her original NXT Rookie Diva, Aloisia, the Official Consultant to SmackDown announced a woman by the name of Kaitlyn as her replacement on last night’s episode of NXT. Her real name is Celeste Bonin and she is a 23-year-old Houston-based fitness competitor World Wrestling Entertainment signed over the summer. She began training in July and debuted shortly thereafter in Florida Championship Wrestling under the ring name Ricki Vaughn.

    Company officials are said to be ‘really high’ on Bonin’s look as she has huge breast implants on a fitness competitor’s physique. The Kaitlyn character is completely based on her real-life personality as she was a class clown in high school.

    Among Bonin’s list of fitness accomplishments is a first place finish in the 2007 NPC John Sherman Classic Bodybuilding, Figure and Fitness Championships, as well as fifth place in her size class in the 2008 Arnold Classic. She also placed in the 2007 Musclemania Superbody, the 2008 Junior USA, and the 2009 Junior Nationals.

    Before signing with WWE, Bonin had planned to transition from figure competitions to bodybuilding contests.

    Finally, it is said that there are ‘far sleazier’ photos of Bonin online than Aloisia.

    — As seen last night on NXT,  Rookie Diva Aksana spoke in Lithuanian, spouting: “Ir aÅ¡ galiu kalb?ti valand? valandas kokia aÅ¡ gražiausia, nuostabiausia, idealiausia moteris.” The English translation reads: “And I can talk for hours on what the most beautiful, most amazing, ideal woman I am.”

    — While an attendance figure for Monday’s Raw television taping at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. has yet to be disclosed, it was said to be the least attended WWE live event at the venue in several years.
