User blog:CEDJunior/Divas Championship @ Payback 2014

The month of June is scheduled to be a huge month for women's wrestling. June 15 is TNA's big Slammiversary PPV, which should feature a title bout between Angelina Love and Gail Kim. As I just learned, June 27 is Shine Wrestling's twentieth show, and that should be the forum where Ivelisse and Serena Deeb finally clash over the SHINE Championship. Two days after that is WWE's fifth annual Money In The Bank event. But the action will start just days from now on the first of the month at Payback, and the event will feature Paige defending the Divas Championship against former champion Alicia Fox.

In an ironic twist of fate, Paige's second PPV title defense will come at the event where AJ Lee began her historic championship reign. It was at last year's event on June 16, 2013 that AJ defeated Kaitlyn to capture the Divas Championship, and she would hold on to the title for almost 300 days until Paige knocked her off on the day after WrestleMania XXX. Since then, Paige has been on a huge tear, which included defeating the fierce and dominant Tamina Snuka at Extreme Rules last month in her first title defense. I expected AJ to comeback to get her rematch at this Sunday's event, mainly because of her good history there, but she's still away from WWE.

The month of June has been good to Alicia Fox in the past. It was at the Fatal 4-Way PPV in June of 2010 that Alicia won her first Divas Championship; defeating Eve Torres, Maryse, and Gail Kim to win the title. She hasn't had many title opportunities since that reign ended in August of that year. In recent weeks, the Foxy villainess has made waves with her humorous post match reactions/meltdowns on Raw and on Main Event. In her first moment, Alicia walked off with JBL's cowboy hat. On Main Event, Alicia took her frustrations out on Tony Chimel and announcers Tom Phillips and Byron Saxton after losing to Emma. She would defeat Paige last week in the champion's homeland, and part of her wild celebration included taking Jerry Lawler's crown. Her latest outburst took place last night, where she gave a member of the crew a wedgie.

So regarding Payback, this should be another successful title defense for Paige, because she is the big star of the Divas Division now. I expect Paige to enter SummerSlam as Divas Champion, and that event isn't too far away. When Payback comes and goes, that will leave only two PPVs before SummerSlam, and I think/hope that will be the forum where Paige clashes against a villainous Natalya with the title on the line. As for Alicia, I'm anxious to she what she'll do on Sunday after her match. So far, almost every announcer has been a victim of Alicia's outbursts. I think she's saving Michael Cole for last!
