Ivory

## Bio

One of the most passionate competitors to ever grace the women's roster, Ivory kicked off her WWE career in 1999 in the corner of D-Lo Brown & Mark Henry. From there, she transitioned into singles competition where she won the Women's Championship twice in her first year with the company.

The dynamic Diva was the one fans loved to hate as she portrayed a bad girl image for most of her wrestling career. This persona was amplified when she joined up with the conservative group Right to Censor. The gorgeous Diva now covered up her body with conservative black and white clothing, robbing WWE fans of the privelege of seeing her flawless figure. Luckily for the WWE Universe, the group eventually disbanded and Ivory dropped the conservative skirts when she joined up with The Alliance.

Destined to shake up the scene, Ivory won her third Women's Championship in 2000. This time she overcame future WWE Hall of Famer, Lita.

The three-time WWE Women's Champion didn't stop in the ring. Not only did she have a memorable turn as a trainer on the WWE reality show, Tough Enough, but she got behind the microphone as a host on various WWE television programs before retiring in July 2005.

Digging A Hole

Did Nikki Bella finally reveal to boyfriend John Cena that she was once married?

## Recap

Remember those times on E!’s “Total Divas” when Brie Bella seemed like the quiet, earthy, restrained Bella Twin; the Zen mistress to Nikki’s free spirit? Yeah, that’s all gone out the window on part one of the Season 2 finale. Brie’s wedding to Daniel Bryan is nigh, and a combination of stress and self-imposed expectation has led the preparation to a place that even a “Yes!” Man like Bryan (ha ha) finds “unreasonable.” It’s hard to tell whether it’s the ballooning cost or her suggestion that they hold the ceremony at a toilet-less venue and guests simply “hold it in,” but Bryan has to talk Brie off the ledge of matrimonial madness and he does so quite efficiently. Robbed though we might be of seeing Cameron interact with a full-grown emu, the ceremony is moved to a much more manageable location and, once Summer Rae is politely but firmly redacted from the guest list, all is well.

Sort of. Brie has decreed that Nikki disclose her previous marriage to boyfriend John Cena before the wedding in order to protect the nuptials from unnecessary drama … and Nikki can’t quite muster up the guts to do so. She lies to her family to get them off her back, but several opportune moments to disclose her secret to Cena come and go; she ends the episode resolved to confess after WrestleMania and before the wedding.

And, speaking of WrestleMania, Naomi’s on the mend and is indeed getting her opportunity at the Divas Championship … along with Brie, Nikki, Natalya, Eva Marie, Summer Rae and everyone else in the division, as part of the Vickie Guerrero Divas Championship Invitational. With the gauntlet up for grabs, it’s every woman for herself, and friendly rivalries are already starting to bloom. The Diva with the most to lose, however? That’d be Eva Marie, who is all but crushed under the sudden realization that it’s her first WrestleMania, she’s challenging for a title and she’s nowhere near prepared for it. "All Red Everything" is about to lose it, people.
Emma

## Bio

Emma burst onto the scene in WWE NXT as a bubbly mat specialist with an awkward dance move that captured the hearts of the NXT Universe, not to mention Santino Marella. Emma flirted with championship gold numerous times, most notably in an NXT Women’s Title Match against Paige at NXT ArRIVAL that set an early benchmark for the female athletes of the next generation.

Even so, every bubble has to burst, and Emma proved later in her career that she wasn’t all fun and games. The Australian beauty made her return to NXT with a new, grittier attitude before arriving back in WWE to shake up the Raw Women's division once more.

Soundly of the belief that Team Red is “all about her,” Emma routinely takes sole credit for starting the Women’s Evolution, and she’s never one to shy away from asserting this claim to social media or anyone who will listen. Dance or no dance, this beauty from Down Under won’t stop until she’s a head above the rest of the pack.

## Release

WWE.com released a statement on October 29, 2017:

*WWE has come to terms on the releases of WWE Superstars Emma, Darren Young and Summer Rae. WWE wishes them the best in all of their future endeavors.*

Planet Funk is Funked Up

Naomi and Jon Uso come face-to-face in the ring. JoJo ends up giving her boyfriend an ultimatum. Nikki disagrees with Brie's decision to move to Phoenix.

## Recap

The Bellas are at loggerheads after Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan decide to move to Phoenix in order to be closer to their beloved dog, Josie. The prospect of losing her sister doesn’t sit well with Nikki Bella, and she goes off on the happy couple while they pack their San Diego home. Given that Brie is also missing important meetings due to the stress of the move, Nikki blames Bryan for her sister’s absentmindedness. But as John Cena helpfully opines, Nikki’s merely made Bryan her scapegoat, and the twins settle their squabble, and Bryan even gets a pass from Nikki. All together now: YES! YES! YES!

JoJo’s athleticism impresses WWE trainers, but a concussion sidelines her right about the same time her boyfriend, Sebastian, comes to visit. Unfortunately, the distance between the two has pushed the young lad to his breaking point, and he hands JoJo an ultimatum: Choose him or the job. Despite some initial waffling on JoJo’s part … well, you know what they say: No one man is bigger than WWE. By episode’s end, Sebastian is dismissed and JoJo – bolstered by support from Natalya and Eva Marie – says she is in it for the long haul.

Naomi’s (Trinity’s) own relationship with Jimmy (Jon) Uso is in trouble when he accuses her of being hesitant to take the first step past their engagement. The awkwardness boils over into an explosive fight and, later, a scheduled match between Tons of Funk & The Funkadactyls vs. The Bella Twins & The Usos. Despite Naomi’s attempts to change the match (alas, Talent Relations is the harshest mistress of them all), not only does the bout proceed as planned, but she defies WWE regulations by attacking Jimmy when they’re in the ring together. Thanks to some post-match girl talk with Cameron, though, Naomi reconciles her hesitation with a fear of failure, and the two make up in adorable fashion. Somebody call my momma, and tell her to grab the Kleenex.

No Longer the Bridesmaid

Natalya and TJ's wedding takes an unexpected turn. John asks Nikki Bella to meet his family. Cameron (Ariane) is rushed to the hospital. Eva Marie and JoJo's friendship starts to fall apart.

## Recap

Marriage. Marriage is what brings us together today on the mid-season finale of E!’s “Total Divas,” featuring the long-awaited wedding of Natalya and Tyson Kidd (TJ). Having survived false-starts, possible courtroom nuptials, TJ’s overbearing mom and “Brie Mode,” the happy couple is ready to tie the knot in their beach wedding … until, of course, a troika of catastrophes besieges them at the last possible minute.

First up: Nikki Bella is invited to John Cena’s family gathering in West Newbury, Mass., on the same weekend as the wedding. Wanting to make a good impression, Nikki chooses to awkwardly bail on her friend, Nattie. Nikki calls to apologize during the reception and the Divas appear to be gal pals again.

Second, Cameron (Ariane) suffers a serious medical emergency in her hotel room and doesn’t seem like she’ll make it to the wedding. But thanks to some quick thinking from fellow Funkadactyl, Naomi (Trinity), disaster is averted after a trip to the hospital.

Third, of course, is the entirely expected return of Jaret the Tanning Guy. Oy, Jaret the Tanning Guy – they can’t get rid of him! When the zombie apocalypse overruns the earth and Cthulu has his way with the remnants, the only things left will be Twinkies, roaches and Jaret the Tanning Guy. Anyway, since you’ll remember Natalya invited him to her wedding, Jaret the Tanning Guy causes a ruckus when he comes clean to TJ about his flirtatious texts with Nattie, forcing TJ to confront the bride. Long story short, they kiss and make up and with Damien Sandow as wedding MC, Natalya and Tyson Kidd tie the knot. The after-party is appropriately raucous, and Brie – much to Daniel Bryan’s great surprise – catches the bouquet.

Elsewhere, Eva Marie is chosen to be Natalya’s valet, which throws JoJo into an epic snit fit. Eva attempts to reconnect with her fellow Diva-in-training, but the animosity is irreparable. Sworn enemies it is.

Up in Massachusetts, Nikki is a smash hit among the highly amusing family members of the Cenation. (We demand a spin-off featuring Cena’s brother and his partner, and we demand it now!) The mid-season ends much as it started: with Nikki and Cena discussing their future. Cena’s come around to commitment, though, and invites The Bella Twin to move in with him. Nikki, being pure of heart and virtue, doesn’t want to move in without being engaged … But hey, she can break the rules just this once.
Naomi

## Bio

As the second-highest cause of whiplash behind car accidents, Naomi first turned heads as a dancer for the NBA's Orlando Magic and hip-hop stars like Flo Rida. These talents would take her around the world, as Naomi performed everywhere from North Korea to Indonesia.

Despite all that success, Naomi's dance steps couldn’t satisfy her competitive spirit, which is how she found herself as a contestant on WWE NXT. Despite being eliminated in the final week of her season, Naomi soon launched into orbit around Planet Funk, as one half of The Funkadactyls. From there, she broke out on her own, determined to take WWE by storm.

The "Total Divas," a reality show on E!.star has since had a series of remarkable runs as both fan-favorite and corner-cutting villain, doggedly pursuing the Divas Championship for the better part of a year and cementing her status as a ring general by heading up the attitude-filled Team B.A.D. of Tamina and Sasha Banks during the Divas Revolution.

Naomi then reinvented herself yet again as part of the SmackDown LIVE brand, making one-and-all feel the glow as she came face-to-face with her destiny by winning the SmackDown Women’s Championship twice, including an epic victory at WrestleMania 33.
Lacey Evans

## Bio

“The Lady of NXT” Lacey Evans mixes the glamour of a pin-up model with the discipline of a warrior.

After growing up in a broken home where everything she owned was shared with her seven siblings, Evans joined the U.S. Marines, graduating with honors from Fort Leonard Hood and serving as military police and on the Special Reaction Team. While still in the service, she opened a construction company, housed and employed three of her siblings, and along with her husband, began the journey of raising a daughter.

Inspired to pursue sports-entertainment after watching a staff sergeant compete at a local event, Evans cut her teeth in southeastern U.S. independents before signing with the WWE Performance Center in April 2016. She has steadily worked her way up NXT’s ladder ever since, wrestling in the inaugural Mae Young Classic and ruthlessly punishing her peers in NXT’s acclaimed Women’s division.
Clan Crafter

## Overview

The Stout Folk are well known for their artisanship and the worth of their handiwork, and you have been trained in that ancient tradition. For years you labored under a dwarf master of the craft, enduring long hours. and dismissive, sour-tempered treatment in order to gain the fine skills you possess today. You are most likely a dwarf, but not necessarily -- particularly in the North, the shield dwarf clans learned long ago that only proud fools who are more concerned for their egos than their craft turn away promising apprentices, even those of other races.

If you aren't a dwarf, however, you have taken a solemn oath never to take on an apprentice in the craft: it is not for non-dwarves to pass on the skills of Moradin's favored children. You would have no difficulty, however, finding a dwarf master who was willing to receive potential apprentices who came with your recommendation.

* **Skill Proficiencies**: History, Insight
* **Tool Proficiencies**: One type of artisan's tools
* **Languages**: Dwarvish or one other of your choice if you already speak Dwarvish
* **Equipment**: A set of artisan's tools with which you are proficient, a maker's mark chisel used to mark your handiwork with the symbol of the clan of crafters you learned your skill from, a set of traveler's clothes, and a pouch containing 5 gp and a gem worth 10 gp

## Feature: Respect the Stout Folk

As well respected as clan crafters are among outsiders, no one esteems them quite so highly as dwarves do. You always have free room and board in any place where shield dwarves or gold dwarves dwell, and the individuals in such a settlement might vie among themselves to determine who can offer you (and possibly your compatriots) the finest accommodations and assistance.

## Suggested Characteristics

Use the tables for the guild artisan background in the Player's Handbook as the basis for your traits and motivations, modifying the entries when appropriate to suit your identity as a clan crafter. (For instance, consider the words "guild" and "clan" to be interchangeable.) Your bond is almost certainly related to the master or the clan that taught you, or else to the work that you produce. Your ideal might have to do with maintaining the high quality of your work or preserving the dwarven traditions of craftsmanship.
RAW 19: May 31, 1993

This was the 19th episode of Monday Night RAW. The ongoing storyline for this episode was the rivalry between Sensational Sherri and Luna Vachon. This would also be Sensational Sherri's final appearance on RAW.

## Episode recap

### **Marty Jannetty vs. Bam Bam Bigelow**

WWF IC Champion Marty Jannetty defeated Bam Bam Bigelow via count-out after the challenger pushed Jannetty back into the ring but could not beat the 10-count himself due to Sensational Sherri; after the bout, Bigelow attacked the champion before a number of officials came to the ring to hold him off; after the commercial break, Sherri returned ringside and challenged Luna Vachon to come out; the two went at it briefly before Bigelow came to Luna's aid, which prompted Tatanka to make the save for Sherri.

## Results

* WWF IC Champion Marty Jannetty (w/ Sensational Sherri) defeated Bam Bam Bigelow (w/ Luna Vachon) via count-out
Sarah Schreiber

When news breaks in the NXT locker room, you can be sure that Sarah Schreiber is there to cover it.

Since joining the black-and-yellow brand’s broadcast team during WrestleMania Week 2018, Schreiber has become a fixture of WWE NXT, where she can regularly be seen grilling some of sports-entertainment’s brightest Superstars in hard-hitting post-match interviews. Her duties don’t end there, either, as Schreiber also serves as the ring announcer and host at many NXT Live Events.

Schreiber brings a diverse and extensive entertainment background to NXT. Holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theater from the University of Miami, Schreiber can sing and play the flute, and she has performed at venerable venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Lincoln Center. An actress since childhood, Schreiber also has a long list of film and TV credits to her name, too, from appearances on “The Late Show with David Letterman” and “Bloodline” to playing opposite Bruce Willis in a commercial.

As a member of the NXT team, Schreiber can be counted on to go the distance to bring the NXT Universe closer to the action than ever before.
Sarah Logan

## Bio

Sarah Logan is proud to have been “born in the woods and raised in the mud,” an upbringing that has given her the survivalist instinct of a hunter. Seeing her competition as nothing more than prey, Logan never backs down from a fight, and she doesn’t think twice about trading headbutts or closed fists with anyone foolish enough to try her.

Starting in the U.S. independent scene in 2011, Logan quickly carved out a rugged reputation. She polished her skills in Japan, where she trained under former WWE Light Heavyweight Champion Taka Michinoku at the Kaientai Dojo, and by the time headlines heralded her WWE signing in fall 2016, she had achieved notoriety in Europe and Mexico, too. Not only is Logan adrenalized by a good fight, but she’s also deceptively powerful, having won multiple Olympic weightlifting events.

On the Nov. 21, 2017, edition of SmackDown LIVE, Logan suddenly burst onto the scene, alongside Liv Morgan & Ruby Riot, to systematically lay waste to SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte, Natalya, Becky Lynch and Naomi.

With the addition of such a dangerous trio, will Team Blue ever be the same again?
Total Divas: March 30, 2014

On Brie's Bad Side

Brie Bella feels that Summer Rae is crossing a line by flirting with Daniel. Natalya's problem continues to grow.

## Recap

The wheels come off the bus (figuratively speaking) on E!'s “Total Divas” when Daniel Bryan’s two hard-and-fast rules for his cash-guzzling, ozone-depleting mobile palace are both violated in short and enthusiastic order by his gaggle of unruly co-passengers. The Beard declares the bus experiment an abject failure, and his metaphorical headache soon becomes manifest when he gets banged up during a match on Raw and is forced to take a few days off while he recuperates. On the bright side, at least he’s off the bus.

Meanwhile, lingering gossip surrounding Summer Rae has recast her as some kind of salacious flirt in the eyes of the Divas, and it’s not long before the whole crew (minus Eva Marie) is turning their noses up at the newbie. Summer attempts to clear her name through an innocent – if handsy – conference with Bryan, but that just gets her in deeper trouble when Brie Bella catches wind of it and all but tears Summer apart for pulling her fiancé aside.

Nikki Bella calls a “Total Divas” meeting to settle the group’s various squabbles wherein Eva Marie and Cameron squash their beef from last week almost immediately, and Brie and Summer follow suit. Natalya, however, not only refuses to give the dancing Diva an inch, but goes so far as to bring Fandango into the scrum. Later, Summer attempts to take the high road by showing up unannounced at Natalya’s front door to talk out their issues.

It … does not go so great. Tensions escalate, Natalya brings up Summer’s age and relationship status into things and ends up getting slapped square across the face. Summer is sent packing from the property with a warning that she’ll have to deal with police should she return. That could have gone better.

Next week: No new episode. Two weeks from now: Summer and Nattie’s grudge finally – finally – spills into the ring.
Total Divas: December 15, 2013

Saying Goodbye

In the Total Divas first-season finale, Nikki Bella and John's future begins to look uncertain, Bryan proposes to Brie Bella, and Eva Marie finally introduces her fiancé to her family.

## Recap

It’s not enough that he makes many Superstars and beard enthusiasts look like they don’t know what they’re doing. On the season finale of E!’s “Total Divas,” Daniel Bryan has to go and one-up men as a whole in the realm of romantic gestures. This particular one is a marriage proposal to Brie Bella, which D-Bry drops on a cliff overlooking the ocean during a romantic hike in Big Sur (for Pete’s sake, he counted the days since their first kiss). Unsurprisingly, she says yes (or “YES!”) and Bryan follows up with an outdoors gathering of their two families that Nikki covertly helped him plan. It’s well-played, to say the least.

Having less luck in the marriage department is Nikki Bella, who begins to rethink her easiness with John Cena’s “no marriage, no kids” policy. Despite The Champ’s sound reasoning for maintaining those rules, Nikki broaches the subject of starting a proper family with her man over dinner. He calmly but firmly rebukes her, though Nikki’s response will have to wait till the Season 2 premiere in March.

The roughest road to the altar, though, belongs to Eva Marie, who brings her fiancé Jonathan home to meet her family and they reeeaaaaallly hate the guy. Hoo boy, do they hate him. The couple decides to elope in retaliation for her family’s hostility, but Eva balks at the last minute and decides to give her family proper time to accept the engagement.

In non-marriage related news, during a sojourn to New Orleans, Natalya partakes a bit too much in the local pleasures and ends up calling Stephanie McMahon eight or nine times in the middle of the night to discuss her career trajectory – a power move she remembers none of the next morning. Despite tiptoeing around the boss lady for the better part of a week, Nattie eventually faces the music and – despite having to listen to the messages one at a time – discovers there are no hard feelings. Stephanie does save the messages to potentially play for Mr. McMahon, which frankly would make a great DVD extra. Till next season, everyone.

Bryan's Breaking Point

Bryan reaches his breaking point and storms out of the Cena house after getting caught in the middle of an argument between Nikki and Brie. In other happenings, the ladies go on a vacation to celebrate Kathy's upcoming nuptials.

## Recap

t’s fight night on E!’s Total Bellas, featuring the first spat between Nikki Bella and Daniel Bryan. The matter on the table is the house Bryan and Brie Bella are trying to build, which they’d like to top out at around four bedrooms and 2,000 square feet. Literally everyone else in the family insists they build bigger, with Nikki being the biggest champion of that idea considering that Brie, not too long ago, had voiced an interest in having a larger home. Somehow in all of this, Nikki’s humility is called into question by Bryan. Tempers flare, voices are raised, and while they end up apologizing to each other, it turns out this tussle is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

On a semi-related note, Nikki is becoming increasingly convinced that Brie is deferring too much to Bryan in dress, demeanor and ambition, with her main argument being that Brie used to be a lot more fun before she was married to Bryan. During a bachelorette-type trip for Kathy (doubling as a celebration for the newly-expecting J.J. and wife Lauren), Brie dips into her old Brie Mode stores for an old-school good time, but passive-aggressive tension lingers between the sisters. Nikki’s still convinced Brie is putting Bryan’s happiness before her own, while Brie is frustrated Nikki can’t grasp the concept of changing as she grows farther and farther away from her party-girl phase. To be continued …

Unsurprisingly given last week’s revelation about his depression, Bryan’s head space still isn’t all that great, and the constant arguing about his house isn’t improving matters. He insists he’s OK to the boys, but once he’s informed by his doctors that his last-ditch hope to return to the ring won’t be panning out, Bryan throws in the towel entirely. He informs the family that he’s going to be moving back home to Aberdeen, Wash., for three months, that he doesn’t want Brie to go with him, he won’t be able to make Kathy’s wedding, and he departs the house with a defeated “Peace out, man.”
RAW 1259: July 10, 2017

## Episode recap

#### **Dean Ambrose crashed "The Mizzies"**

The Miz managed to hold off Dean Ambrose and retain his Intercontinental Title at WWE Great Balls of Fire (with assists from Maryse and The Miztourage, of course), so he came to Raw with one thing in mind: to give himself and his people some awards.

In fact, The first-ever “Mizzies” were little more than an excuse for Miz to present trophies to his team: Bo Dallas & Curtis Axel co-won Best Supporting Actor, Maryse won Most Beautiful, Gorgeous, Sexy Leading Lady and Miz himself won Greatest Man in WWE. And during his “acceptance speech,” The A-Lister came out of left field to label The Hardys, Akira Tozawa and Seth Rollins as “frauds.”

But The Lunatic Fringe was ready to play spoiler, crashing The Mizzies and taking the fight back to the Intercontinental Champion. Much like WWE Great Balls of Fire, Ambrose found himself outnumbered, at least until he cleared the ring with a clutch assist from one of the very same men Miz called a fraud: Seth Freakin’ Rollins.

Despite the brief reunion, however, Ambrose wasn't exactly raring to re-team with his old running mate in a pointed backstage confrontation.

#### **Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss & Nia Jax**

The last time Sasha Banks & Bayley teamed up to battle Alexa Bliss & Nia Jax, the imposing Nia took The Huggable One out of the match and Banks had to fight through a 2-on-1 disadvantage to score the victory. Well, this time, the two former Raw Women’s Champions came prepared, focusing their offense entirely on slowing Jax down in the early goings, much to the chagrin of Little Miss Bliss.

Ironically, Jax took herself out when it came down to the wire. Banks saved Bayley from a Twisted Bliss pinfall, and following a brief brawl outside the ring, Nia rammed herself into the barricade and slumped to the floor in a heap. The Huggable One capitalized, stacking up a stunned Bliss for the three.

#### **Akira Tozawa & Cedric Alexander vs. Neville & Noam Dar**

If not for some below-the-belt shenanigans, Akira Tozawa might have walked out of WWE Great Balls of Fire as WWE Crusierweight Champion. The Stamina Monster’s desire for a rematch might have a little more legs, however, now that he’s defeated reigning titleholder Neville.

Granted, the victory came in a tag team setting that united Tozawa with Cedric Alexander and Neville with Noam Dar, but The Stamina Monster’s top-rope senton onto The King of the Cruiserweights himself gave his team the victory. Tozawa’s strike occurred after Alexander stranded Neville groin-first on the ropes (turnabout is fair play) and landed a suicide dive on Dar, who he'll battle in an "I Quit" Match on 205 Live tomorrow. All of which is to say, Titus Worldwide might have a little more negotiating power than Neville would like when it comes time to organize a potential rematch.

## Featured Superstars

1. Sasha Banks & Bayley def. Raw Women's Champion Alexa Bliss & Nia Jax

RAW 1261: July 24, 2017

## Episode recap

#### **Emma vs Nia Jax**

Emma says it’s all about her, but to hear her tell it, she’s been on the sideline for far too long while others get opportunities she deserves. That said, she may have gone about approaching Kurt Angle the wrong way — she suggested that maybe The Olympic Hero would give her more opportunities if she dates his son. So, Angle gave Emma a chance to remind the Universe of her talents … by putting her in a match with Nia Jax.

Unfortunately for Emma, that went about as well as one might expect. She managed to evade her imposing opponent’s clutches for a few moments, but once Jax got ahold of her, it was only a matter of time before Emma was defeated — and it didn’t take long, as Jax quickly downed Emma and hit an impressive running swanton for the victory.

#### **Sasha Banks vs Bayley**

The comeback kid is heading back to her home turf.

Bayley powered past Sasha Banks in a grueling bout between best friends to earn an opportunity against Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam, sending The Huggable One back to the site of one of her biggest triumphs to potentially complete a remarkable rebound run back to the Raw Women's Title.

Banks, somewhat surprisingly, seemed to be almost looking past Bayley in the lead-up to this match, focusing more on her desire to punish Bliss in a pre-match powwow than on how to defeat The Huggable One. All she would say of the match was that "the best woman" would win.

True to Bliss’ own prediction earlier in the night, friendship did kind of go out the window — Bayley hung so tough that the two women resorted to a hockey-style fight at one point — and it came down to the absolute wire, as Bayley kicked out of a Frog Splash and instantly rolled up Sasha for three.

Alexa, who was on commentary for the match, didn’t miss the opportunity to hit the squared circle and flaunt her title in the face of her challenger. SummerSlam is set.

#### **Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins vs The Miz & The Miztourage**

Despite Ambrose’s vocal distrust of The Kingslayer, the two former Shield members managed to recapture enough of the old magic to outlast The Miz & The Miztourage in Raw's 2-on-3 Handicap main event. The Lunatic Fringe even came to Rollins’ rescue after Miz and his crew feasted on The Architect for most the match.

The favor was repaid when Seth broke up the pinfall after Miz connected with a potential match-ending Skull-Crushing Finale on Ambrose. Rollins also saved Ambrose from a second Skull-Crushing Finale with a flying knee that teed up Dirty Deeds.

Ambrose, fired up from pinning The Awesome One, allowed a brief post-match embrace from The Architect, though he was still a bit too conflicted to partake in the traditional Shield fist bump, much to Seth’s disappointment.

## Featured Superstars

Christy St. Cloud

## Bio

Christy St. Cloud isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions if it means getting to the bottom of a story. Joining NXT in 2017 as an announcer, locker room reporter and Live Event host, the native of New Ulm, Minn., came to sports-entertainment with a background in broadcast journalism.

St. Cloud first garnered big reactions on YouTube and Twitter with a self-produced celebrity news segment before becoming a familiar host on networks such as AfterBuzz TV. Perhaps sensing that the mat game was her calling, St. Cloud spent plenty of time covering WWE and beyond in her pre-NXT life, including stints as the co-host of X-Pac’s show and the wrestling news correspondent for Lilian Garcia’s podcast.

As a member of the NXT team, Christy St. Cloud can be counted on to work tirelessly in bringing the NXT Universe closer than ever to the goings-on inside the ring and behind the curtain.
Alicia Fox

## Bio

Alicia Fox first appeared in WWE as a wedding planner hired by Edge and former SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero to prep the power couple’s on-air nuptials. After she was caught canoodling with the groom, however, Alicia wisely crawled into a foxhole somewhere before re-emerging as a bona fide Superstar.

The talented Ms. Fox has since appeared on Raw, SmackDown and WWE NXT, scissor-kicking her way past Beth Phoenix, Maryse, Eve Torres, Gail Kim and The Bella Twins (Brie Bella & Nikki Bella) to etch her name in WWE’s record books as the first African-American woman to win the Divas Championship at 2010’s WWE Fatal 4-Way pay-per-view.

As the years progressed, the foxy Floridian showed she had the wiles to maneuver her way to the top of the division, no matter what obstacle was in her way. Whether through an outlandish series of tantrums that landed her back in the orbit of the Divas Title or by allying herself with The Bella Twins to create Team Bella and run roughshod over the female contingent of the locker room, it’s difficult to find an instance of dominance that didn’t involve Alicia Fox in some capacity.

Resourceful, stunning and extremely lithesome in the ring, Alicia has proven herself to be far more ferocious – and eccentric – than anyone ever expected. At any moment, the femme fatale can —and will — outfox the opposition to claw her way to the top.
Molly Holly

## Bio

Though she is best remembered for getting her head shaved at WrestleMania XX, there was a lot more to former WWE Women's Champion Molly Holly than that very public haircut.

Trained by the "Man of 1,000 Holds," Dean Malenko, Molly debuted in 1997 but first garnered national attention in 2000 as Miss Madness, one of Randy "Macho Man" Savage's valets in WCW. But after her run in WCW ended, Nora Greenwald was reborn in WWE as Molly Holly, the cousin of the late Crash Holly and Hardcore Holly, and she became a star.

Molly would help Crash and Hardcore in battles against Test & Albert (who were then managed by Trish Stratus, who was just beginning her career in WWE) and against the Dudley Boyz. After a brief relationship with Spike Dudley, Molly aligned herself with The Hurricane (known today as Gregory Helms), adopting the moniker "Mighty Molly." The duo entertained our fans as WWE's resident superheroes, with Molly acting as Hurricane's trusty, yet beautiful, sidekick.

But Mighty Molly would grow tired of being in Hurricane's shadow and yearn for gold and her own identity. This became evident when she outsmarted him and was one of several Superstars who won -- and lost -- the Hardcore Championship in a whirlwind series of bouts at WrestleMania X8. Soon afterward, Molly retired her superhero persona, stopped dyeing her hair blond and showed the world that she was a no-nonsense, yet uptight, Superstar. She defeated Trish Status for her first Women's Championship at the 2002 King of the Ring.

During her two championship reigns between 2002 and early 2004, Molly took on all comers, from Stratus to Lita to Gail Kim and finally Victoria, who ended her last title run. Victoria was responsible for the most embarrassing moment in Molly's career when she defeated her in a Hair vs. Title Match at WrestleMania XX. It was unheard of for a Diva to participate in a Hair vs. Title Match, especially on the grandest stage of them all. Fans howled and Molly shrieked when Victoria shaved a restrained Molly bald. A mortified Molly walked around WWE for months trying to hide her shaven chrome with various wigs.

Molly was never quite the same after her humiliation at WrestleMania. She failed to regain the Women's Championship during several opportunities and lost a series of matches to the less experienced -- and less skilled -- Stacy Kiebler. Molly left WWE and her full-time in-ring career in April 2005.

Since her departure, Molly has made occasional appearances on pro wrestling's independent circuit. But she has devoted much of her time to doing missionary work for her church. Molly has spent several months studying Spanish in Guatemala, where she had a chance to be reunited with old friends when WWE passed through during its tour of Latin America in March. When asked whether she would return to sports-entertainment, Molly said, "Right now, I have no plans to return to wrestling, but you never say never in this business."

So, Nora Greenwald has found a new passion and calling beyond the walls of WWE. Even if she never returns to a WWE ring, our fans will always admire Molly Holly for her abilities and her guts.
Maxine

## Bio

Both inside and outside the ring, Maxine sought out the best of everything and accepted nothing less. She was a modern-day, in-charge woman — the kind that men know they shouldn't pursue, but couldn't resist. And women? They knew to avoid her at all costs.

Signed to a WWE developmental deal in 2009, the vicious vixen competed in Florida Championship Wrestling and the all-female Season 3 of WWE NXT. Maxine returned to Florida Championship Wrestling and was brought back for season 5 of WWE NXT, called "Redemption," as it featured male and female competitors that did not win their respective seasons.

The alpha female choose to leave WWE in June 2012 to pursue an acting career.
Vickie Guerrero

### Highlights

SmackDown General Manager; Raw General Manager; Miss WrestleMania; Official Consultant to SmackDown; Raw Managing Supervisor

## Bio

Sometimes, all it takes are two words to polarize an audience. In the case of Vickie Guerrero, those two words are, “Excuse me!” Barking the phrase out to a disinterested audience, Guerrero’s voice rises in pitch and intensity as a chorus of boos attempt to drown her out. This simple act makes her one of the most reviled managers in the history of WWE.

When the widow of WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero joined the company in 2007, it was as the assistant to SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long. Few would have imagined that beneath the exterior of this simple, winsome homemaker lurked a cunning animal whose multicolored nails would prove to be claws, hacking and slashing at the fabric of WWE.

Eventually, her devious tactics propelled Guerrero to the position of General Manager of both SmackDown and Raw. Enduring scandal after scandal, Vickie was known for romantically fraternizing with the pool of talent on the roster she governed, including Superstars like Edge, who took advantage of Guerrero’s power to propel themselves to World Titles.

After a brief hiatus from WWE in 2009, Vickie returned as the Official Consultant to SmackDown before devoting her services to Dolph Ziggler, who briefly held the World Heavyweight Title under her tutelage. Guerrero was later chosen to lead on Monday nights as Raw’s Managing Supervisor. Her decision-making led to her break-up with Ziggler and earned her the ire of The McMahon Family, whose conflicting opinions of Vickie led to a public job evaluation.

In addition to facing Mr. McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H, Guerrero’s job was also evaluated by the WWE Universe. In a poll conducted on the WWE App, 75 percent of the WWE Universe felt Guerrero was doing a bad job, which led to her firing.

After a total meltdown and a failed attempt at rallying the WWE Universe behind her, Vickie was surprisingly rehired as the General Manager of SmackDown by Mr. McMahon just weeks after her ouster on Raw.

Vickie did The Authority’s bidding in the following weeks, though she got herself into hot water once again. After Stephanie McMahon spewed a tainted iced coffee (and a little extra) on Guerrero, Vickie entered Roman Reigns into a WWE World Heavyweight Championship Ladder Match Qualifying Battle Royal against their orders.

With her job on the line the following week, Vickie Guerrero was forced to battle Stephanie McMahon herself in a bizarre encounter involving a tub filled with a brown, foul-smelling substance. When Stephanie won the match by tossing Vickie into the muck, she promptly fired the SmackDown General Manager. Vickie went out on a high note, however, when she threw an unsuspecting Stephanie right into the viscous mess!

Devious, shrewd and willing to use either her brains or her beauty to get what she wants, Vickie’s piercing proclamations and deceitful machinations made her the go-to target for the WWE Universe’s hatred and, ultimately, respect.
RAW 1195: April 18, 2016

The Swiss Superman joins the Intercontinental Champion's talk show, two weeks before their clash at WWE Payback. Per Shane McMahon, eight elite Superstars battle it out in this eight-man tag team bout. With the stage set for her WWE Women's Championship opportunity at WWE Payback, The Queen of Harts reveals why Ric Flair will have a hard time interfering in the matchup. WWE's Women's division ignites with a massive tag team clash on Raw.

## Cesaro & The New Day vs. The Miz & League of Nations

Cesaro and Booty-O’s: a match made in heaven. And a match that wins matches, too, as The Swiss Superman and The New Day united to overthrow the combination of The Miz & The League of Nations in a bout stemming from a tense “Miz TV” between Cesaro and The Awesome One, who’ll meet for Miz’s Intercontinental Title at WWE Payback.

There was barely even a learning curve for Cesaro & New Day, who rolled to a seemingly insurmountable advantage (The King of Swing even got in on the Unicorn Stampede!). The League briefly rallied by swarming Xavier Woods, but a late-game tag to Cesaro led to an Uppercut Express that left all four opponents seeing stars. Legal man Sheamus’ fellow fiends attempted to break up the contest, but The New Day drove them back one by one (Big E dispatched both Alberto Del Rio and Miz), leading to a Neutralizer that put The Celtic Warrior down for three.

## 8-Woman Tag Team Match

So Natalya’s got another shot at Charlotte at WWE Payback. This might be a problem for Charlotte, since The Queen of Harts made the WWE Women’s Champion tap out with no disqualification in sight to save her at the conclusion of a wild, eight-woman battle on Raw. Not only that, but Natalya ended up saving the match for her team, which was evenly matched against a squad of scoundrels in Charlotte, Naomi, Tamina & Summer Rae. Ironically, it was Charlotte who set herself up for defeat by tagging in off Summer Rae, who had been holding steady against Natalya. The No. 1 contender found her second wind the second Charlotte entered the ring, capitalizing off a ring-clearing assist from her teammates to tap the champion out with (yep) flair.

## Results

* Natalya, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch & Paige def. WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte, Naomi, Tamina & Summer Rae
Rachel Evers

## Bio

Rachel Evers — the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Paul Ellering and a graduate of Lance Storm’s wrestling academy — is entering the Mae Young Classic, ready to forge her own path.

An aggressive competitor who relies on the athleticism that comes from being a three-sport athlete — she played basketball, volleyball and softball in high school — Evers has been making her presence known on the independent circuit since 2015. She combines refined technique with deceptive strength, as evidenced by her impressive powerlifting record: a bronze medal with the World Powerlifting Federation, 27 state records, five American records and three state titles.

Evers has used her abilities to create a high-impact arsenal of maneuvers that has earned her multiple championships, and she makes every opponent think twice before entering the ring against her.
RAW 40: November 15, 1993

The 40th episode of Monday Night RAW. No ongoing storylines for this episode, but featured Jacqueline playing a role of Jeff Jarrett's assistant 5 years before her official WWF debut.

## Episode recap

### **Jeff Jarrett vignette**

Featured Jeff Jarrett holding auditions for his band. In a pre-WWF debut, Jacqueline played the role of Jarrett's assistant, Winona.
Candice Michelle

## Bio

Candice Michelle wasn't just another pretty face.

A native of Milwaukee, the beautiful brunette moved to Los Angeles at the age of 19 to pursue a career in show business. After finding some success in modeling and acting, the stunner applied for the 2004 WWE Diva Search. While she didn't win the competition, Candice was quickly signed to the Raw roster.

Although she first made her mark in WWE as eye candy, Candice soon earned a reputation as a woman who could mix it up in the ring. Training with fabled Four Horseman grappler Arn Anderson, Candice developed into a fighting machine. Her stellar bouts with Trish Stratus and Mickie James proved it.

At Vengeance in 2007, Candice reached the peak of her WWE career when she defeated Melina for the Women's Championship, becoming the first Diva Search contestant to win the title. The beauty would hold the championship for nearly four months before dropping it to Beth Phoenix at No Mercy in October.

Candice would continue to compete in the women's division, but repeated injuries to her clavicle would stop her from achieving the success she previously enjoyed. In 2009, Candice and WWE parted ways, but the sexy, smart and powerful Diva's looks and talent would not be soon forgotten.
Renee Michelle

## Bio

You could say that wrestling found Renee Michelle, thanks to a little help from former WWE Superstar Duane Gill. The onetime Gillberg approached Michelle at the first sports-entertainment event she attended and asked if she would consider giving the ring a try. Michelle agreed, and only four years later, she is one of America’s top prospects. She has held the MCW Women’s Title three times and the ECWA Women’s Title twice, and has built a reputation outside the east coast, traveling as far as Japan and India to compete.

Michelle counts daredevils like Lita, Jeff Hardy and Jushin Liger among her inspirations, as well as Chigusa Nagayo, the iconic grappler who took Michelle under her wing while she trained in Japan. Able to adapt to her environment with chameleon-like deftness, Michelle will have to adjust to her biggest challenge yet when she takes part in the inaugural Mae Young Classic.
SmackDown 966: February 27, 2018

Ruby Riott's quest to bring Charlotte Flair's world crumbling down continues when she takes on The Queen's close ally Naomi.

## Naomi vs. Ruby Riott

After Ruby Riott turned the tables on Charlotte Flair last week by defeating Becky Lynch in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match and boisterously claiming “one down, two to go,” Riott looked to continue her countdown on SmackDown LIVE, squaring off against Naomi, with The Riott Squad and Flair & The Irish Lass Kicker at ringside.

As Riott looks to gain even more momentum en route to her SmackDown Women’s Title encounter against Flair at WWE Fastlane, the rough and rugged competitor seemingly had an answer for Naomi’s dynamic and explosive offense at every turn, and she dimmed The Glow with a vicious Riott Kick for the win.

It was now “two down, one to go” on the scorecards of both Charlotte and Ruby.

## Results

* Ruby Riott (w/ Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan) def. Naomi (w/ Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair)
Vanessa Borne

## Bio

No stranger to the spotlight, Vanessa Borne was previously a broadcaster for Fox Sports Arizona, as well as a dancer for the Phoenix Suns and a cheerleader for the Arizona Cardinals. During her tenure with the Cardinals, she was featured on one of the world’s biggest stages — the Super Bowl — proving that she has the focus and experience to perform under pressure.

With aspirations of becoming a WWE Superstar, Borne trained under Attitude Era Superstar Gangrel and WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi before competing in the inaugural Mae Young Classic. This up-and-coming Superstar also made her NXT debut in 2017, catching the attention of her opponents and fans alike with her impressive agility and rugged determination.
Eva Marie

## Bio

It may have been Eva Marie’s bright crimson locks that first drew the WWE Universe's attention, but her viciousness is what people will be talking about when all is said and done.

A former model that traded in the runway for the wrestling ring, Eva Marie’s journey through the ranks of WWE’s Divas division was first chronicled on the hit E! reality series, Total Divas. There, she navigated personal and professional obstacles in an attempt to become the face of the division. When she finally got to the big time, Eva Marie made an immediate impact, slapping Jerry “The King” Lawler across the face in her first appearance on Raw.

This red-headed wonder hasn’t stopped for a single second since that day, and she hasn’t cared who she polarizes in the process. Stirring up controversy on Total Divas didn’t even stop her from training independently with former WWE Tag Team Champion “The” Brian Kendrick for a career-altering run down in WWE NXT that is just beginning to bear fruit. Career-altering, that is, both for her and anyone who thinks this red-headed runway vet is anything resembling a pushover.

Women of the world, take note: The All Red Everything movement has begun.

## Release

Eva Marie and WWE have mutually agreed to contractually part ways as of Aug. 4, 2017. “Today I'm saying a bittersweet goodbye to @WWE,” Eva tweeted. “Thanks to the entire team, and YOU, my fans, for these 4 years! #AllRedEverythingForever” WWE wishes Eva the best in all of her future endeavors.
