Gail Kim, Offically Back in the WWE

Gail Kim-WWE-Wrestling

Gail Kim is officially back in the WWE.
She made her return at the SmackDown live event in Little Rock, Arkansas on March 21st teaming up with Maria to go against Michelle McCool and WWE Divas Champion Maryse.
So now I guess she WILL be in the 25 Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania.

HOWEVER....several sources are reporting that on the graphic promoting the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXV, Gail's picture has been pulled.
Are they going to try to "surprise" us?
Everyone with internet access knows Gail is back in the WWE, there's no need for a last minute announcement.
BTW, a quick check shows that Gail is still not on the Divas list at WWE.Com

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that judging from Gail's past wrestling career, having won the WWE Women's Championship on her debut match for WWE (a battle royal no less), and being the inaugural TNA Women's Knockout Champion, if Gail IS in the battle royal, she's gonna win.
Because if she wins, the next question is where will she go?
Raw or Smackdown?

Another guess here, I see her going to Smackdown at least at first.
She'll be a face, and go up against Maryse.
However, with the draft coming, she could turn heel and go after Melina just as easily.

WWE has a good wildcard here, let's see how they play it.

Eve Torres


Dancer, model, actress and professional wrestler, Eve Torres was the winner of the 2007 Diva Search.
Eve was born Eve Marie Torres on May 5, 1984 in Denver, Colorado.
She is currently working for the WWE on SmackDown, but with the draft coming that may change.

On October 29, 2007, Eve was crowned the winner of the 2007 Diva Search in Philadelphia, live on Monday Night Raw.
Soon after she got her wrestling license in the state of Kentucky (yes you have to have one of those) and started training in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).
Eve made her official debut on SmackDown on February 1, 2008 doing interviews.
After doing interviews, participating in the "Diva Competition", and being a Lumberjill in the BunnyMania match between Maria and Ashley against Beth Phoenix and Melina at WrestleMania XXIV, she finally made her in ring debut on the November 3, 2008 episode of Raw in a 16-Diva tag team match, but she never got tagged in.
In her first actual match, she lost to Michelle McCool by submission.

Eve can solve a Rubik's cube puzzle in less than five minutes.
She is trained in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and has a blue belt.
Eve appeared with Maryse and Michelle McCool in the January 2009 issue of Muscle & Fitness magazine.
Maria, Candice Michelle, and Eve were on the August 17 episode of Sunset Tan.
She also appeared on Fuse TV's Redemption Song along with Candice, Maryse, and Mickie James.

The Bella Twins


Born in San Diego, California and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Brie and Nikki Garcia wrestled on WWE SmackDown! as the Bella Twins.
They were signed to developmental contracts by the WWE in the summer of 2007, and went straight into Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).
They feuded with Nattie Neidhart and Victoria Crawford in a series of tag team matches and used the old school masked wrestler tactic of switching places behind the referee's back if one of them was injured.
They moved up to Smackdown and Brianna debuted as Brie Bella.
There they used a variation of the gimmick, with Nicole hiding under the ring and switching places with her sister under the ring when needed.
But one night Brie ran under the wrestling ring and was followed by Natalya and Victoria, who emerged with both Brie and Nicole.
Thus the WWE's worst kept secret was blown.

WWE Diva Milena Roucka / Rosa Mendez

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Milena Roucka was born Milena Leticia Roucka on October 25, 1979 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
You know I'm just not gonna question why all these beautiful women keep coming from Canada.
I'm just gonna accept it.
Anyway.....Milena started with the WWE in the 2006 Diva Search Contest. She came in fourth, but was given a WWE developmental contract anyway.
She started out in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).
Her first real in ring action was an eight woman tag team match in which she teamed up with Beth Phoenix, Katie Lea and Melody against ODB, Serena, Victoria Crawford, and Maryse.
In September of 2007, Milena won a 6 woman divas match to capture the OVW Women's Championship.
She lost the title later to Katie Lea and when the WWE ended their relationship with OVW, she moved on to Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).
In FCW she had several matches against The Bella Twins, Alicia Fox, Wesley Holiday, Miss Angela (Angela Fong), Tiffany, Jenny Cash, and Veronica Blaze.
Finally, she made her first appearance on the November 24, 2008 Monday Night Raw.
She appeared as a fan now named Rosa Mendez.
I imagine the name change was because the already had a "Melina".
Rosa is doing a Beth Phoenix's Greatest fan gimmick, and I wonder if the WWE isn't traveling back down the Trish Stratus / Mickie James road.
You have to give this tomboy turned model turned wrestler credit. She's hung in there for almost 3 years and even held a title.
She's not only beautiful, she's tough.

WWE Divas, Melina


Melina Nava Perez was born on March 9, 1979 in Los Angeles, California.
Melina started out as a model, won a Miss California beauty contest and modeled athletic wear for Nike.
Even though her modeling future looked bright, after talking to Empire Wrestling Federation (EWF) superstar (and family friend) Mike Henderson in 2000, Melina decided to give pro wrestling a try.
She trained at Jesse Hernandez's School of Hard Knocks in California and made her pro wrestling debut in April 2002.
After wrestling for EWF and CRUSH, Melina entered Tough Enough III, and made it to the final 21 before being eliminated.
But Al Snow noticed her ability in the ring and pulled her aside. He encouraged her to keep trying to pursue her career as a wrestler.
Melina went to OVW, and after working there, finally made her official debut on the April 14, 2005 edition of SmackDown! with MNM.
Since then, Melina has gone on to hold the WWE Women's Wrestling Championship twice.
