Chelsea Green, WWE Women’s United States Champion, recently ranked WWE’s most “Diva-coded” male superstars, evaluating who best embodies Diva qualities like confidence, style, and presence.

In an interview with Ring the Belle host DS, she judged fan-submitted nominees, narrowing the field down to top contenders like Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, and Pretty Deadly.

Rollins was an early favorite, with Green noting,

“Because of longevity, we’re going with Seth, because we have seen it time and time again, and he slays—serves Diva drag.”

However, in the final round, she ultimately chose Pretty Deadly as WWE’s most Diva-coded male stars.

“To put a swerve on it, I’m going to say Pretty Deadly wins. They’re giving Diva in other aspects, not just their gear.”

Green further praised the duo, adding,

“I actually use their gear girl now because their gear is so good. So Diva, so girly pop!”

She stood by her decision, stating,

“If you had asked me that question without showing me the bracket, I still would have said Pretty Deadly.”

At the conclusion of the segment, Green also addressed her fans and her role as the inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion, saying, “Pledge your allegiance, honey, because it’s up from here!”

Angelo Dawkins is now a married man.

WWE superstar Angelo Dawkins recently had a wedding to remember. The former WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champion married the mother of his child, Grace, and shared the news on X. However, what made it more special is the involvement of his longtime tag team partner Montez Ford who officiated the wedding.

Dawkins shared a photo of himself and Grace making their vows on social media to celebrate their union. Former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair was also in attendance, and both couples took a group photo.

On Instagram, Belair shared a nice message about the lovely couple’s marriage.

“Dawks got a WHOLE WIFE!!!!! All those car ride talks can finally come to an end! You did it! Congrats!!!… you’re a lucky man to get @gracestephanie01 and now a smart man to wife her up! Lol,” wrote Belair.

The newlywed couple welcomed a son in 2020 and expect to welcome another boy later this year. It’s possible that Dawkins and his wife wanted to get married before their son’s arrival. Regardless, it’s surely a special moment in their lives, with Dawkins’s tag team partner being the one to make it official.

It’s unclear if Dawkins will take some time off for a honeymoon with his wife. However, he will be in action with his tag team partner to take on Pretty Deadly(Elton Prince & Kit Wilson) on the July 5 episode of Friday Night Smackdown.

Preview Of The Street Profits vs. Pretty Deadly

The upcoming tag team matchup was made on the June 28 Smackdown episode. The Street Profits spoke with Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis about wanting to take on The Bloodline. The heel faction had assaulted Dawkins, Ford, and Kevin Owens after their loss on the June 7 episode of Smackdown.

However, Pretty Deadly would interrupt their conversation, leading to The Street Profits challenging them to a match. Aldis ignored the former tag champion’s pleas to take on The Bloodline but made The Street Profits vs. Pretty Deadly official for the upcoming episode.

Dawkins and Ford will likely be motivated to defeat their opponents to send a message to The Bloodline. A win over Pretty Deadly could persuade Aldis to grant them a match against the faction led by Solo Sikoa.

Tyler Bate made his debut on WWE’s January 5th episode of SmackDown, as he helped Butch pick up an important win against Pretty Deadly. Triple H calls the shots in WWE, and he’s always been a fan of Bate. Now he gets to book him on a much larger stage.

Tyler Bate’s WWE Main Roster Debut

Pretty Deadly was slated to take on Butch on SmackDown, yet Butch lacked a partner. Despite the absence of a designated teammate, the match was scheduled for SmackDown’s New Year’s Revolution episode, offering fans an unexpected twist.

Butch chose Tyler Bate as his partner, marking the NXT Superstar’s first appearance on SmackDown, but it will not be his last. Tyler Bate is now officially a SmackDown Superstar.

After Butch and Tyler Bate picked up a win over Pretty Deadly on SmackDown, the Big Stong Boi made it very clear that he’s on SmackDown for the long haul.

“Finally, it’s been a long time coming, but the Big Strong Boi has finally arrived on SmackDown — and I am here to stay.”

Following his debut on the show, Bate is now featured on the SmackDown roster page on WWE’s website. A video posted on Instagram by WWE features Bate stating that he has made his presence known on SmackDown and intends to remain.

WWE started off 2024 for RAW in a huge way with Day 1. That included The Rock’s return. It is SmackDown’s turn now, as they have New Years Revolution ready to go. That may include a long-awaited return.

Possible Spoiler for 1/5 WWE SmackDown

PW Insider reports that Paul Ellering has been spotted in Vancouver, the site of WWE’s New Years Revolution SmackDown. Naturally, an AOP return is expected for tonight’s show.

WWE Hall of Famer Paul Ellering was spotted in Vancouver this morning. 

The expectation, as PWInsider.com reported previously several weeks ago, is that he and The Authors of Pain will return to WWE on tonight’s Smackdown as part of an alliance with Karrion Kross and Scarlett.

Authors of Pain Future in WWE

Many WWE Fans expect that Karrion Kross will be aligned with the Authors of Pain upon their return. That could be a powerful faction with Kross, Scarlett, Paul Ellering and AOP.

I was told that Authors of Pain were quietly signed to new deals well over a year ago. It’s been the plan to pair them back up with Paul Ellering as well. That trio was a favorite of Triple H’s, one that Vince McMahon disbanded upon AOP’s entry onto the WWE main roster.

Vince McMahon wanted someone younger, and an active wrestler, to lead AOP to the ring. That is why Paul Ellering was replaced by Drake Maverick. Now, Ellering is getting back with AOP.

This week’s SmackDown will be their New Years Revolution show. They have a loaded card planned, which you may find below.

Second Possible Spoiler For 1/5 WWE SmackDown

Pretty Deadly has a match against Butch this week on SmackDown. Butch needs to find a partner for that match. It was also noted on PW Insider that Sheamus is expected to fill that slot.

Sheamus, whose WWE contract expires this year, has been out of action with a shoulder injury. He sat on the sidelines while other members of the Brawling Brutes carries on without him. This week may see the Celtic Warrior’s return.

NXT Tag Team Champions The Creed Brothers vs. NXT UK Tag Team Champions Briggs & Jensen vs. Pretty Deadly vs. Gallus met in a title unification bout at Sunday’s WWE NXT Worlds Collide event in Orlando, Florida at the Capitol Wrestling Center.

The match was the second bout on the card. The first elimination happens when Jensen fell off the top rope and Gallus hit their finisher to him. The Creeds eliminated Gallus with their finisher. The referee was knocked down, which led to the finish. Damon Kemp speared KJ Wilson before hitting Jiulus with a chair and laid him out with a back breaker so Prince pinned him. 

Backstory

On NXT TV last week, Gallus defeated Diamond Mine after Roderick Strong caused a distraction, leading to the pin of Damon Kemp. After the match, the two teams brawled, later joined by Pretty Deadly, Briggs & Jensen, and the rest of the NXT locker room.

Briggs and Jensen had held the titles for over 70 days after winning a fatal four-way tag team elimination match, also involving Die Familie (Teoman and Rohan Raja), Dave Mastiff and Jack Starz, and Mark Andrews and Wild Boar for the vacant titles.

The Creed Brothers had held their titles since June at the In Your House special when they defeated Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince and Kit Wilson).

Pretty Deadly are the new WWE NXT Tag Team Champions after winning a 5-team gauntlet match on Tuesday’s episode of NXT 2.0. They outlasted Grayson Waller & Sanga, Legado del Fantasma, The Creed Brothers, and Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen in the match. 

It opened with Creed Brothers eliminating Legado del Fantasma before Briggs and Jensen came out as the third team. A spot saw Brutus get slammed through announce table. Finally, Brutus eliminated Jensen to bring out Waller and Sanga as the fourth team. The final team was Pretty Deadly. The former WWE NXT UK stars hit their finishers on Brutus to win the bout and the titles. 

Last week, WWE announced the titles had been vacated but didn’t mention MSK or what led to the titles being vacated. MSK won the titles in a triple threat match at Stand & Deliver. However, Nash Carter was released by the company just days after winning the titles. Wes Lee is still with the company. 

Carter faces domestic abuse allegations made by his wife, Kimber Lee, and that is reportedly not the reason why the company let him go. Instead, the decision to fire him was due to the photo of Carter posing as Adolph Hitler.

MSK was originally scheduled to defend the NXT Tag Team Titles against Grayson Waller and Sanga on Tuesday’s show.
