newcomer Paige last night on Monday Night RAW. AJ told the fans inside the
arena that she was the “best Diva in the world,” resulting in a big pop
and chant for her boyfriend CM Punk. The celebration was quickly cut off
though as NXT Women’s champion Paige made her WWE TV debut to a thunderous
pop from the New Orleans crowd. AJ challenged Paige in a match however
Paige said she wasn’t ready, and was slapped in the face for her answer.
Eventually the match kicked off and Paige pulled the upset, pinning AJ
with her Paige Turner finishing move.The 21 year old British wrestler
became the youngest ever to hold the Divas title and also the first one to
hold both the NXT Women’s and WWE Divas title simultaneously. After the
match, Paige was greeted backstage by WWE Divas who congratulated her on
her win. An emotional Paige then cried her way through an interview for
WWE.COM which you can see at http://w-o.it/1mWfMce

> MR. T DISAPPOINTED HALL OF FAME SPEECH WAS CUT
- Mr. T used Twitter to air his thanks and frustration regarding his Hall
of Fame speech getting cut before he was finished. “Thank you very much
for all your support! I am very disappointed and saddened that you
couldn’t hear the rest of my speech. I was told my speech went too long?
Really? Seriously?” Mr. T wrote. He said that all the inductees were told
that the fans would want to hear their stories and were instructed to
“take our time and enjoy the moment.” Mr. T added that he was moved by the
support fans showed to him after his speech was cut short and he will post
the remainder of the speech for everyone to read it. “My mother taught me
to stand up for what I believed in. I put a lot of care and love into my
speech. I wanted it to inspire and motivate people when they are hurting.
Since my mother taught me to always try and take the high road, I will. If
my speech helped just 1 mother & 1 son out there, thank you GOD,” he
wrote. Mr. T also thanked Rowdy Roddy Piper for his words after his
speech, saying they meant a lot to him. The two were not very friendly due
to the heat they had at the time of WrestleMania I and II.

you. It's over…” he wrote. The 30 year old blond bombshell made her debut
with Fandango in April 2013 during RAW, replacing the previous dancer. She

second time. WWE announced that Mysterio - referred by his real name of

- The Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper is carrying an article
reporting that former WCW and WWE Superstar Buff Bagwell was seriously
injured in a car wreck on Monday. The 42 year old Bagwell flipped his Jeep
several times on Towne Lake Parkway, breaking his neck, jaw, and even
fracturing several bones in his face. He is currently heavily sedated at
the WellStar Kennestone Hospital due to the nature of his injuries. TMZ
adds to the story that according to the police report, Bagwell called his
wife while driving telling her he was about to have a seizure. He lost
control of his vehicle just a few moments later spinning across the raised
median. Bagwell wrestled for WCW from 1991 to 2001 and then joined WWE
after the company purchased WCW from AOL Time Warner. His time in WWE
didn't last long however as he was released in early July just after
appearing twice on WWE television. He also appeared for TNA in 2002, 2003,
and 2006.

Nikki and Brie Bella are still slated to depart WWE on 4/30 when their contracts officially expire.

The decision to put the WWE Divas title on Nikki had been planned for some time (at one point, it was slated for Extreme Rules) with the idea that Kharma would return and lay waste to the Bellas as revenge for their words against her when she announced her pregnancy last year.

The Kharma return would lead to another WWE Divas title change and bring Kharma right back into the forefront of the Diva storylines.
