Divas Champion Michelle McCool def. Maria - (Divas Championship Match)

Divas Champion Michelle McCool utilized a wrenching ankle hold on Maria to score a painful submission triumph in a match for the Divas Championship. Festus & Jesse had journeyed down to ringside - teddy bear in hand - to view the match close up. But when the Corn-Fed Colossus realized Michelle had hurt Maria, he charged into the ring after her, forcing the champion to quickly dive out of the ring to safety.

European tour
Many of the Raw and SmackDown Divas have been busy traveling through Europe this week, entertaining our fans from France to England to Germany. Read on for the Divas’ thoughts on their whirlwind tour.

“So far it’s been amazing. We’ve been in a different city every single day. The fans react differently in every town,” Natalya said. “In Nice, it was one of the loudest groups of fans I’ve ever heard. They were explosive with energy. In Wales, they were a little more refined, and there were a lot of children.”

The third-generation Diva said she’s been hitting it off with her SmackDown tag team partner, Maryse.

“On the first night, we joined several of our friends and we jumped into the Mediterranean on the French Riviera at 3 in the morning!” she said. “And the All-American Girl and little miss Playboy model, Maria, they can mess with the best, but they’re going to go down with the rest.”

Maria told Diva Dish she enjoys returning to Europe not only to see the latest fashions, but to also enjoy time with our fans.

“It’s always so nice coming over here. Our fans are so appreciative because they don’t get to see us every day. It has been so much fun,” Maria said.

As for Natalya, Maria said she’s never been intimidated by her fellow SmackDown Diva, no matter which country they’re competing in.

“Natalya likes to talk about my dog, but I don’t even think she could beat my five-pound Chihuahua. I think Gemini would whoop her butt because it seems every night, I might be getting the best of her!” Maria said. “They’re great opponents and Maryse likes to flip her hair, so it’s been entertaining.”

Maria and a few of her fellow WWE superstars attended Yokotas American Legion’s ceremony to honor the military on Tuesday morning.  Maria can be seen signing autographs for the fans.  Thanks RKO for the heads up!
