01/28/08 Monday Night Raw - Philadelphia, PA - Mickie James/Ashley vs. Beth Phoenix/Jillian Hall
Ashley came out first for a divas tag match. Mickie James came out all-smiles and got a nice reaction. Ross narrated clips of Mickie losing to Beth Phoenix last week, then being devastated after the match. Jillian Hall came out for the heel team, followed by Beth Phoenix. Ross covered for Lillian's flub on Beth's name. Mickie and Beth locked eyes, with Mickie's smile being turned upside down.

Jillian and Mickie started things off, with Mickie landed a kick early in the match. Jillian seemed to injure a knee, or at least she was selling it well. Beth took an early tag and stomped Mickie into the corner. Mickie smashed her shoulder into the corner, then Lawler said she used to love these matches, but now he's concerned because they seem too dangerous. Mickie completely ignored Ashley, who remained on the ring apron. Mickie then cleared Jillian to the outside, but Beth caught Mickie with a kick to the gut. She nailed the fisherman buster suplex for the win. Afterward, Mickie was in a shock while Ashley tried to console her. PWtorch.com

02/04/08 Monday Night Raw - Austin, TX - Kelly Kelly/Mickie James vs, Victoria/Beth Phoenix
Lawler was speechless during Kelly's spirited ring intro, finally uttering, "Mannn!" We got some fresh camera angles this week of the new entrance stage, too, so they're having fun with the new set and new look as the weeks progress. Mickie got in a flurry of offense against Victoria, but when she went to the top rope, Phoenix shook the top rope and Mickie landed awkwardly on her left leg. She clutched her knee. Phoenix scored a near fall right away. Mickie surprised Phoenix with a guillotine for a few seconds, but Phoenix escaped and tagged in Victoria. The way the women sell, everything seems real because things look less-than-smooth most of the time where it looks as if someone could have been hurt. Anyway, Mickie quickly finished Victoria with a DDT. Mickie signaled she wanted a Women's Title shot after that win. PWtorch.com

04/14/08 Monday Night Raw - London, England - Mickie James vs. Beth Phoenix
Phoenix's music is still among my favorites in WWE. Ross asked Lawler about facing someone you've never been able to beat. Lawler said you can't help but have personal doubts. Glamazon pretty much dominated throughout. She applied a cool chicken wing submission hold with Mickey held in the air face down. Mickey escaped and shoved Phoenix into the corner turnbuckle. She followed up with an elbow to the face and a kick to the gut. She showed fire and set up her DDT. Phoenix shoved her into the corner to block it. Ross said if she was thinking DDT, "she thought too long." Phoenix stomped Mickie in the corner. Mickie came back with a Thesz press off the second rope, which Ross inexplicably called a bulldog, for a two count. Ross and Lawler expressed amazement at Phoenix's resilience. Mickie surprised Phoenix with a victory roll for a surprise three count to capture the Women's Title. Mickie celebrated like she just opened the $1 briefcase instead of the $500,000 and $1,000,000 briefcases late in "Deal of No Deal." She grabbed the belt and practically tripped over herself in celebration as she headed up the rampway.

After the commercial break Mickie was still celebrating and crying on stage. She was joined by Maria and Ashley. Todd Grisham interviewed her. Mickie said she knew she could do it. She was so emotional she kissed Grisham on the lips for several seconds. He fell backward.Lawler said, "Mickie James has just done what was thought to be impossible - kiss Todd Grisham. Just kidding." With the ratings success of TNA's women's division, WWE is smart if this is a sign of them taking note and renewing a serious athletic division based on more than just T&A.?

04/18/08 Internet News - Mickie Talks About Winning Title Back
The following was posted on WWE.com a few days after Mickie winning the title belt:

Golden girl
Moments after Mickie James was victorious over Beth Phoenix to win back the Women’s Championship in London on Monday, Diva Dish was there to hear Mickie’s thoughts and experience the excitement surrounding her big win.

“I feel exuberated,” said a beaming Mickie. “There are no words that can really describe how I feel. I’ve gone a million matches against Beth and had yet to beat her. I’ve thrown everything but a brick wall at her. Tonight it all paid off.”

Mickie attributes her victory to studying Beth’s matches and training hard, day after day. The new Women’s Champ said she believes she’s finally found The Glamazon’s weakness.

“The fact is that I’m just a little bit quicker. She may be stronger. She may be bigger, but I’m quicker and maybe a little smarter,” Mickie explained.

The Diva’s mother is on the top of her list of people she’d like to thank for their support. Next are fellow Raw beauties, Maria and Ashley.

“It felt good that they were there, because it shows that they really care,” Mickie said. “They’re my friends and they’re not just single-serving friends, as a movie once said. They actually really do care about me.”

Mickie called herself a “fighting champion” and is ready to defend her coveted gold. As for the former Women’s Champion, Mickie refused to utter a negative word about her fierce competitor.

“Beth was one heck of a champion. I’m very glad that I was able to face her out there tonight and I’m very grateful I was able to win the gold from her tonight. I have nothing bad or crass to say about Beth, because that is not my style,” Mickie said.

“As for everyone else, I want to thank them for believing in me. I appreciate it and I love them all. I’m the new champion again. Four times … four times!” WWE.com

04/21/08 Monday Night Raw - Greenville, SC - Celebrating Mickie's Win
Michelle McCool, Ashley, Kelly Kelly, Cherry, and Maria came out to the ring. Maria said they wanted to celebrate what they never thought was possible. Roll clip of Mickie James winning the Women's Title from Beth Phoenix last week. Ashley said the witch is dead. She then welcomed out Mickie James for a big celebration. Mickie hopped to the ring with the Women's Title in hand while Ross referenced Danica Patrick having a Mickie James moment by winning her first race over the weekend.

Maria said she knows Mickie wasn't expecting a celebration, but they wanted to tell her congratulations. Mickie gave the speech about never giving up and always competing. She said she proved everyone wrong last week. Before she could finish, Beth Phoenix led out the heel divas to the ring. Beth, Melina, Victoria, Natalia, Jillian Hall (w/strange wig and/or facial lift?), and Layla came out. Beth ripped the mic away and said listening to this pathetic lovefest prompted them to come out here and break up the party. Beth said the question is when she's winning the belt back. McCool speaks! She then slapped Beth across the face. This led to a giant brawl, of course. The babyface divas cleared the heel divas from the ring, leading to a diva

04/27/08 WWE Backlash PPV - Baltimore, MD - Mickie James/Michelle McCool/Ashley/Maria/Cherry/Kelly Kelly vs.
Beth Phoenix/Melina/Jillian Hall/Natalya/Victoria/Layla
Michelle started things off against Beth. Lawler plugged Michelle being the number search item on Yahoo yesterday, ahead of the NFL Draft. Someone got information off the Torch News Ticker. Mickie entered the ring and avoided Victoria's shimmy moonsault and nailed an enziguiri kick. Suddenly, the whole deal broke down when Cherry ran over to the heel corner and attacked Natalya. Order was momentarily restored, then Ashley and Jillian took tags. I have no idea what's going on with Ashley's outfit. The heels then took turns working over Ashley in their corner. Mickie came into the ring without a tag, then women randomly entered the ring illegally. It wasn't even a break down, just one diva giving a move, then another diva getting a move, then another diva getting a move, then another diva getting a move. Just completely random. And it came back down to Beth and Ashley, who were legal. Beth with the big fisherman buster suplex on Ashley for the pin and the win.

Winners: Team Beth in 7:00. That was the most organized match break down I've ever seen. Otherwise, a giant collection of multi-colored outfits that probably caused a few TVs to explode. PWtorch.com

04/28/08 Monday Night Raw - The Meadowlands, NJ - Mickie James/Michelle McCool/Maria/Kelly Kelly/Cherry/Ashley vs. Beth Phoenix/Melina/Jillian Hall/Victoria/Natalya/Layla
Things started off with Kelly and Beth, who attacked Kelly from behind after a pre-match scuffle. Not quite Garnett vs. Pachulia, but it'll do. Victoria took a tag, then Kelly snapped off a head scissors, but the heel divas cut her off and went back to work. Kelly then blocked a handspring elbow from Jillian and tagged out to Mickie, who rolled up Jillian with a bridge pin for the win. PWtorch.com

WebMaster's Note: Jeez, a rehash of last night's PPV!

05/05/08 Monday Night Raw - Toronto, Ontario - Mickie James vs. Beth Phoenix - Lumberjack Women's Title Match
Beth sent Mickie to the outside a minute into the match, then the heel lumberjacks attacked Mickie. Back in the ring, Mickie had enough of the heels grabbing at her feet, so she tried to attack Jillian ringside. A divas brawl broke out while Ross tried to restrain Lawler from getting mixed up in the action. They cut to break.

They returned with Mickie trying to fight back against Beth with kicks to the gut, but Beth tossed Mickie to the apron and the heel divas nipped at her heels again. Back in the ring, Mickie caught Beth with an enziguiri kick that sent Beth to the floor. The babyface divas ganged up on Beth, then Beth dragged Maria into the ring. Meanwhile, Melina accidentally blasted Beth with her shoe when Mickie ducked. Mickie then rolled up a stunned Beth from behind for the pin and the win. PWtorch.com

05/12/08 Monday Night Raw - Detroit, MI - Melina & Beth Phoenix vs. Mickie James & Maria
Cena was getting a cup of coffee when Mickie James walked over to thank him for the opening segment with Regal. Cena said it's cool. She then asked if he wanted to go out with her, her brother, and her brother's girlfriend afterward. Cena went into robot mode and said he has a commitment to his job, which includes staying focused on Orton tonight and Judgment Day on Sunday. Mickie wasn't sure how to take that, so Cena broke robot character and said of course he's good for going out for drinks later. He warned things get wild with him sometimes. Mickie said she can do wild. Cena said that's cool, then Mickie walked off to prepare for a match up next.

Melina came out first for the divas tag match. After she did her little in-ring pose thingie, Beth Phoenix came out while the announcers talked about Beth and Melina not being on the same page last week. Maria led out the babyface tandem, then Mickie James pranced out to a typical strong reaction.

Melina and Beth had an early miscommunication, with Beth being bumped off the ring apron. Beth then opted to leave the ring instead of take a tag from Melina to set up a beating on Mickie. Melina lost control, and Mickie finished off Melina with a neckbreaker. Beth just kept walking up the ramp with her back to the ring while Mickie and Maria celebrated afterward. PWtorch.com
