    Let me be the first to say WOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!

    A backstage segment AND a match! Shes now in a storyline with Ziggler and wrestling. Lets hope she continues to be used this often!

    I dont watch Smackdown (I just download Maria’s segments)….but isnt Ziggler a heel? Could this mean Maria may be turning heel? (Smackdown is lacking diva heels).

    Maria was with Santino (heel) and didnt really become one herself, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see. I just hope this storyline continues and doesnt get dropped!

  2. Joanna says:

    YAY! she is in a match finally :) defo watching smackdown this week.

  3. Dennis says:

    We’ll see, but I don’t see her becoming a heel – they’re pushing Ziggler from very low card to mid card by having him in some big matches lately and beating Khali, etc. Since he’s being pushed so much right now, having him with Maria and “hurting her” would be a way to establish him as more of a heel. I kind of want to like the guy, he needs to do something awful to Maria so I’ll hate him. She’s the ultimate babyface diva.

    If Maria ever turns heel, it will be for a push of her own. If a face diva was champ right now, Maria could turn and challenge her. But who knows, maybe she’ll turn heel with the Zig. I just don’t see how that benefits either one of them.

  4. Chris says:

    Great points Dennis. I feel like editing my comment, but I’ll leave it up for discussions sake.

  5. MastaKilla says:

    I am made up she is finally in a match this week and also a backstage segment SmackDown is definatewly getting watched this week. I’ve read on other sites that Maria/Melina won a tag match against Michelle/Layla, i think that makes more sense than to have a fatal four way match non title with the champion involved

  6. Chris says:

    Uh oh…where did you read those other spoilers? I hope the ones I posted are accurate…

  7. KS says:

    I’ve actually been lookling for spoilers all night for this week’s Smackdown and found a link to them on a site I wasn’t expecting. So this is a great find much thanks.

    On the subject of Maria turning heel – count me in the minority but I think she would play a good heel and it wouldn’t be too hard. Keep in mind, today’s WWE audience isn’t the “smart”, mature ECW crowd that watched during the Attitude era. The product is a lot more family friendly based and I think a lot of people will just boo someone as a heel for being a heel.

    I’m not sure what sort of depth as an actress Maria has. She’s really only played the good girl and a ditz during her earlier days on Raw. In WWE, sadly a heel diva is mainly ment to be full of herself and has a mindset that she’s too good for everyone. So in reality, Maria just has to act arrogant and throw in some of her “trademark cuteness” to harden the blow. I think she’d pull off a credible heel.

    I would prefer to see a Maria heel turn on her own, however at this point a heel turn for her in general would just make her more interesting, I think. It’s kind of sad to see people dismiss the idea so quickly or think that she could never play a nastier character. Still, I want to note that I respect the differing opinon and that it may be correct.

    However, personally, I think she could pull it off if the storyline was correct. I had a different one in mind, but if it involves this Ziggler fella, wouldn’t be hard for him to “date” Eve, Layla and her and in the end, have Maria and him play all of them and the fans for suckers by making it seem like she was being played when they were playing everyone whos “beneath their Stardom”. Her reasoning could be that she feels the fans are leeching off of her and that she’s done more than they ever will and is sick of them trying to be like her or get with her with their letters and emails, etc. It might sound a little typical and too Sable heel turn like, but it’s something new for Maria and a storyline.

    Even though it does seem unlikley they would turn Maria heel, it also seems odd that Maria would suddenly try and have Layla and Eve play nice. So for all we know this Ziggler/Maria storyline has been brewing for a few weeks.

    Just a random thought from a passerby. Good news is, if there are plans for a turn or something, they tape the next Smackdown Wednesday night so there’s just under 24 hours to know what happens.

    Its on that link you posted they updated it to say its a tag team match now, but other sites were reporting it, and KS i agree with you Maria turning heel would be a nice refreshing change for her character and would give her a decent storyline

  9. darryl says:

    I love tonight’s taping for smackdown surely i will be saving popcorn and drinks for watching this diva tag team match. maria is back again in action and a backstage segment i think it’s really great for her.miss u and luv u maria

  10. Mascha says:

    YAY!!Finally she is backi n the ring!!
    I want her to kick mccools ass!!
    And it´s really interessting how the use Ziggler and Maria together!!

  11. Yvonne says:

    It almost seems too good to be true. :D A backstage segment and a match. And she’s tagging with my second favorite diva. Thriple yay. ;]

    I wonder if this thing with Dolph will go on for long. He could be with a differnt diva next week and it could be over like that. I hope it goes on longer than that. It’s great to see Maria involved in a storyline again.

  12. Mario Torres says:

    Thank God she’s in a Match and not just ref. but her and dolph ziggler aint gonna last long. Hopefully

  13. tai says:

    FINALLY! She’s gets to wrestle!

    Eh, not keen on the Ziggler thinig though

  14. Eve says:

    Good to see Maria back in the ring, by the way, why is she dating Dolph Ziggler?

  15. Eve says:

    Where can I find the match?

  16. Robson says:

    Feud between the maria and McCool and the womans champion

    and non-dolph and maria

  17. MastaKilla says:

    That sucks it looks like she came out to Melina’s music, she should always go out to her music because its a better song

  18. lisha says:

    oh thanks for ruining smackdown for us! it didnt need highlighting, thanks.

  19. angel says:

    Maria looks beautiful how she come out in Smackdown this week and i hope she is in next week Smackdown and hope she gose to nights of champion and comepete so she could become the womens champion.

  20. Andrew says:

    Yes/ Finally.!

  21. tai says:

    looks like Maria has a white glove on for MJ in that video? :)

  22. Lindsey says:

    yay!!!! finally!!! but im confused, what date are they talking about?? and maria can’t turn heel because she’s with melina, who’s face

  23. rita says:

    Thx god! i’m sooooooo happy to see her in the ring again! i’m happy gail and alicia had just bounce to raw.. they were taking maria protagonism.

  24. bigjoe707 says:

    FINALLY MARIA HAS COME BACK TO THE RING. I don’t think she’ll be a heel. Cuz if she does it’ll be 4-2 for the heels. Layla doesn’t seem to be turning face and u got Michelle McCool & Natalya. I’m guessin Ziggler will just break Maria’s heart. Examples of why Maria may not turn heel: 1) Randy Orton broke Kelly Kelly’s heart during that weird Kane thing, 2) Kelly was with The Miz back on ECW and she never did heel stuff, 3) Santino Marella and Maria.

  25. Dennis says:

    Did she have a white glove on? I suggested that idea to her on Twitter! She never replied to me about it though. Do I still get bragging rights?

  26. Randy says:

    Ist about freaking time a segament and a match thats fantastic cant wait till Friday.

  27. Andrew says:

    No Problem Chris. By the way. Smackdown and ECW will be having a tour here in Manila next week. I’ll be attending the tour. and if ever Maria is coming. I’ll be sending the pictures :)

  28. zahra says:

  37. MastaKilla says:

    I love the fact she has a glove on in tribute to the greatest Singer/Dancer ever. I hope she is as big a fan of him as I am. RIP Michael Jackson

  38. bigjoe707 says:

    I don’t think will turn heel. Otherwise kiss goodbye the 6 diva tag matches on Smackdown.

    Here’s the roster for the divas on Smackdown – Faces: Melina, Maria, & Eve Torres. Heels: Michelle McCool, Layla, & Natalya.

    And a quick note to MastaKilla: Oh yeah Maria is a fan of Michael Jackson. She said so on wwe.com when wwe was celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Thriller album

  39. Mike B says:
