I can confirm today that TNA has signed former WWE developmental diva Shantelle Taylor. TNA had signed her a few months back but had some issues with her visa since she is Canadian. I'm told she'll be involved in the Awesome Kong 'fan' storyline in the coming weeks

From wrestlezone.com

The women that appeared for the Kong Challenge this past week and were not used were Amber O'Neil and Becky Bayless. O'Neil works SHIMMER, many southern independents, and had worked for many of the UWF/TNA co-branded events. Bayless works a lot with ROH and SHIMMER, and was trained by Homicide. She apparently mentioned that but it was edited from the broadcast.

There was talk about bringing in Jazz as the bodyguard for "The Beautiful People," but either she turned TNA down or they couldn't get her in for last week's tapings. The company went in a different direction as seen on TNA iMPACT! last night.

Is the WWE Divas roster going back to the old days?

 From the wrestling observer newsletter

There is some speculation that Gail Kim is likely to be brought back to WWE after her current TNA deal expires

 WWE has spent the greater part of the last year training several Asian females to take the role as the featured Asian diva however most of these attempts have not led to any promising future.

 With Gail's work in TNA being strong and TNA's women's division clearly the biggest ratings draw for the promotion currently, WWE is expected to be offering contracts to several of the TNA Knockouts when their agreements with TNA end. According to sources the deal to bring Gail Kim back to WWE is basically a done deal. There has been some internal heat for Gail being released in the first place during large scale talent cuts several years back when Gail was sidelined with a string of injuries and had been internally labeled with the "injury prone" stamp.

While Gail has been sidelined with some minor injuries during her time in TNA it looks like WWE is willing to take that risk to get the best available talent back on their rosters.

Backstage, the WWE Women's Champion Mickie James is with Todd Grisham. Mickie says she is confident about her match tonight. Grisham asks her how her night out with Cena was last week and she says "It went....alright". JBL walks up and tells her to leave, and she obliges..

Beth comes out, followed by Melina and Mickie shortly after after all three girls are out they announce them one by one. The match starts and Beth Phoenix leans on the ropes and tells Melina to get out of her ring several times before Melina Finally runs and hits Beth sending her to the outside. Mickie takes this opportunity to quickly pull Melina into a roll up for a close three with Melina barely kicking out. Mickie quickly runs to the ropes as Beth pulls them down sending Mickie to the outside while Beth makes her way back in. Melina and beth go at it until Mickie gets back into the game and breaks Beth's submission hold on Melina with a roll-up on Beth. Mickie gets on the back of Beth Phoenix, taking her down the mat in what appears to be a modified sleeper hold. Melina pulls Mickie off of Beth. Beth gets knocked silly and Melina goes to work on Mickie. It doesn't take long for Mickie to counter. She goes to the top but Melina knocks her off. Good crowd reaction. Melina sets Mickie up on the top but Beth puts her on her own shoulder. She hits the electric chair. Mickie goes off the top and hits a cross-body into a pin onto Beth for a two count. Mickie nails a huge dropkick on The Glamazon. Melina goes to work on Mickie in the corner. Back to her feet, Beth comes over and gets BOTH Mickie and Melina on her back. Beth hits a double back breaker on both of them. Amazing strength. Beth ends back up in the background and Mickie is able to hit her finisher on Melina for the three count and the win to retain her belt!

From high school cheerleader to aspiring journalist to saucy World Wrestling star, Kelly Kelly's career has followed a varied path - to say the least.

The star will join fellow wrestlers including John Cena and Randy Orton on a WWE tour across Australia in June.

Kelly found her way into wrestling via modelling while she in college studying to become a broadcast journalist, with hopes of becoming a TV anchor.

"I love [wrestling], I just love every day of it," she said.

"WWE contacted me through my modelling agency and they knew I had an athletic background so they sent me down to Atlanta, Georgia where they kicked my butt for a week straight and asked me if I wanted a job at the end of it."

At high school Kelly did gymnastics for 10 years until an injury forced her into cheerleading.

"I still get to use some of my moves so that's pretty good," she said.

Living the life of a professional wrestler working in one of the world's most high-profile pursuits is difficult, she said, with an almost constant training schedule and travel around the United States and overseas.

"Even on my off days now I'm still training, so I try to get into the ring and learn different stuff," she said.

"We consider ourselves a big family [inside wrestling], some people have their own little cliques and we try to get along a best we can."

When Kelly first began as a wrestler she was billed as a "self-proclaimed exhibitionist" and put on strip shows called "Kelly Kelly's Expose".

"My jealous boyfriend Mike Knox used to come out and try and wrap a towel around me but I would still do it and eventually we broke up and I formed Extreme Expose with Booke and Layla and we were a little group who danced every week," she said.

"That ended so now Layla and I are going at each other's throats every week.

"The first night I did it [expose] my nerves were through the roof and then every week after if kept getting easier, but I still get nervous out there now."

She might not dance much any more, but Kelly is looking forward to a long career in wrestling.

"I plan to be here as long as I can," she said.
