Elimination Chamber - WWE Divas Championship: Beth Phoenix(c) vs. Tamina Snuka

Jack-Hammer

YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
I'm not surprised to see that this match hasn't beed added to the section. After all, it's a Diva match.

It was announced on Raw last night that Beth Phoenix will defend the Divas Championship against Tamina Snuka this Sunday at the EC ppv. I'm actually kind of looking forward to this match. These are two powerful women that, if given a respectable amount of time, could pull off a pretty good match. Beth & Tamina are also two of the only women among the Divas that garner any degree of a reaction from the audience, so this match has the potential to be something worth watching. It's still filler, but it could be quality filler.

With this being the first meeting between the two, I look for Beth Phoenix to retain the title with a possible rematch at WrestleMania where she'll drop the title to Tamina. With Natalya reduced to little more than Beth's flunky these days, I can see her accompanying Beth to ringside and helping her score the win. Either that, or she'll turn on Beth and give Tamina as somewhat of an upset victory.
 
In all fairness, I thought one of the Eve-Phoenix matches was actually pretty damn good. As for Tamina Snuka, they've done an awesome job building her up.
 
I don't see this match as filler. WWE has a reputation lately of giving the Divas Time on the ppv. Beth has pulled out a few great matches from K2 and Eve so this one with Tamina should be the surprise of the card.

It is a match that she is matched in strength and has a competitor that can fly. We will finally get to see Tamina have a real match. I do see her doing some of her other moves that you can't squeeze in a TV Match.

I am very excited to see this !
 
I think that this match is just a stepping stone for beth leading into her match with kharma at wrestlemania. I don't think that tamina is a stepping stone, because they have built her up well and the crowd seems to like her.
 
You're right - they've done a pretty good job of building her up. But we still know nothing about her (other than the obvious), havn't heard her speak or anything. Would be good to see just a little of that, but that's nitpicking.

After glancing at this topic, I thought for a moment they were having some form of EC match (despite that being impossible as a 1-on-1), which got me thinking.

If there were more depth in the Divas division (looking forward to the full Kharma return), i'm talking bringing in Kaitlyn and Maxine (both so hot) with reason of course, even just as managers. But yeh, if there were more depth and not 2 EC matches for 2 World Titles already (yeh, I think there should be 1 World Title..), it'd be cool to see the first ever female Elimination Chamber match.

You got legit beasts in there like Phoenix, Snuka, and Kharma. Then throw in Natalya, and one or two dolls, and you could have a semi-decent match there, I rekon.

I know not everyone's idea of fun is a Divas match (9 times out of 10, myself included there), but with some time and a little build up over a few weeks, I think it could be a pretty cool spectacle.
 
I'm actually excited for this match. They've built up Tamina very well, and i like how Beth is almost putting her over talking about how Tamina is talented and she's excited for thier match. It should be a decent Divas match.

But the most exciting part will be if Kharma comes out afterwards.
 
I agree with the majority of what Jack-Hammer said.
Only part I don't see happening is Natalya turning on Beth. She's become irrelevant in the Divas division (at least in the title picture). It would be a face turn just for the shock value. As much as I would love to see a 3 way between those girls... in the ring of course... I think it will be Beth and Tamina at WM.
 
I'm happy that they took some time to build this feud.
Of course, is still very small time, but better than the last 2 PPVs, that had matches not even announced.

I can see Beth winning as the logical choice. But I hope they have time to work this match. I'm sure they will do great if given a good amount of time.
 
It could be interesting. At least it is two women who can actually perform in the ring.

I will at least pay attention to the finish. My guess is that Phoenix retains as it is apparent they want these two to face off at Wrestlemania.

This is all fodder until Kharma is ready to go full-time of course.
 
This should actually be a pretty interesting match, Tamina is a big girl just like beth but minus some testosterone. I actually have grown to enjoy Tamina and like that she doesn't totally destroy her father's finisher like I figured she would when she got to the WWE. She hasn't really done much since though so I'm excited she's getting a crack at the title. Tht being said its too early and she hasn't done enough for a title win. I could see this becoming a good feud with Tamina coming out on top after a few matches but this time Beth takes it.
 
This match up has some potential. Tamina isn't totally awful and Beth is Beth, so, they might just get somewhere with this. As is completely usual with matches involving Beth, the mantra holds true - give them some time, and they'll probably do pretty well with it. As I recall, Beth had a match with Eve toward the end of last year that got a little bit of time, and they had a nice little match together. Tamina is better than Eve, therefore, by the transitive property, if they get the same amount of time, Beth and Tamina should have a better match.

I don't see Tamina walking away with the title, personally. I feel as though the WWE has finally realized Beth is the best thing going in their division and they won't just toss her aside so easily to a one month wonder such as Tamina. My inclination is that this is just a one off match to give Beth a good victory so that she can establish herself after falling a little bit off the radar in the last couple weeks. The purpose of that, it would seem to me, is to set up a match with Kharma at WrestleMania, which I think most would agree would be just off the charts. So, at the end of this one, I see Beth standing tall with the title, and moving on to Kharma at WrestleMania.
 
This match is the one I am least interested in. I like Beth a lot as champion so I absolutely hope she retains here. Tamina is horrible. I do not see what anybody sees in her. She is probably the last person I would have wanted to see get a title shot. This is obviously nothing but filler so that we can get Beth against Kharma or Natalya at Wrestlemania in a feud actually worth watching. I will be heading to the fridge to grab more pizza to reheat before the next match. Beth wins because she's the perfect choice to hold the belt while Tamina just flat out sucks.

Dagger's Prediction
Beth Phoenix will retain the Divas Championship
 
I see Beth Phoenix retaining here and then on Monday or Friday at the latest I see Kharma returning which will lead into a match at W28.
 
From what I can gather, Tamina seems to be a legit female wrestler which is shockingly awesome. She's managed to perform moves I'd never though I'd see in the Diva's Division again; The Samoan Drop, Superkick and The Superfly Splash which she executes nicely. She's had a solid build and this may be the first real competition for Beth Phoenix in quite a while. She looks as though she can hang with Beth throughout this match but like I hinted at earlier, I have not seen nearly enough of Tamina to make that assumption. I believe the WWE is heading in the right direction with this feud between these two. While it hasn't been anything to write home about, it's certainly better than your standard Diva's Division feud.

I believe Kharma will make her presence felt during or after this match; that is if she's capable of performing at Wrestlemania. Beth has made it clear she's defeated everyone who is anyone within the current Diva's division - she has been nothing short of dominant. From that, I can gather that Kharma will return soon and face Beth Phoenix at Wrestlemania in what could potentially be the stepping stone to a better division all around. I cannot see this match lasting ten minutes but I do see it lasting a bit longer than normal diva's matches because of Tamina's build. If given time, they'll put on a match that could blow away any and every diva's match we've seen over the last couple of years.

Hamler's Prediction - Beth Phoenix will retain the WWE Diva's Championship.
 
It is safe to assume that this match will be much better than the average 2-minute Divas match that we have been seeing for quite some time. I expect the match to be 7-8 minutes of back-and-forth and Beth ultimately pick up the win. Tamina may be good, but I highly doubt that she would head into Wrestlemania as the Divas champion (not that it really matters). Kharma will likely show up after the match to challenge Beth.

Atleast there will be no screaming blondes in this match ;)
 
Probably the first Diva's match I have had any excitement for since like, Trish vs. Lita at Unforgiven 2006. Going back an awful long time.

Tamina on Superstars against Natalya has been great, the way she executes the Samoan Drop is brilliant, however when she performed it on RAW it wasn't all that effective. I don't expect her to get a win here at all, but I do expect a good performance and hopefully an actually good, solid Diva's wrestling match which are so few and far between.

Beth to win and then enter a program with Kharma for the Diva's Championship, which will produce a Diva's match worth advertising.
 
Kharma will be returning full time at the conclusion of this match, or the next night. Rest assured. Should be stupid, maybe semi-passable for a women-folk match.
 
Meh. I guess this could be a solid match. WWE has done a nice job if building Tamina up as a believable threat to Beth Phoenix's title reign, but when it's all said and done, Beth will walk away with the strap tonight. I could easily see her winning this match with some help from Natalya. A cheating heel like victory for Beth wouldn't surprise me at all, and I fully expect her to go into Wrestlemania as the Divas Champion. Both women can go in the ring, so they should be able to deliver an entertaining match. I don't have high hopes for this one, but I actually have some interest in this match, and I haven't been able to say this about any other Divas contest for months.

As far as a Kharma return goes, I guess it could happen tonight. Beth VS Kharma really is the only must-see Divas match left at this point, and I would love to see these to go at it. WWE could really have something special with these two, and when the time comes, I hope they won't ruin the build for the feud between these two, because Beth VS Kharma could create a nice amount of buzz for the Divas division.
 
After the match, Kharma should come to the ring and the Chamber should lower around them. This would lead to a massive brawl where all 4 pods are broken, and Kharma is doing Morrison/RVD/Spiderman shit off the side/top of the Chamber. Maybe even reintroduce blood. No one will remember Tamina exists after this. If only...
 
Unlike most people, I really am excited to see this match. It's a while since we had a solid, Diva's match and these two can actually put on a great match, if given the time to.

But of course, I see Beth getting the win and moving onto WrestleMania to face Kharma.
 
Good match in the end, although I think we all realised that Beth was going to win so she can face Kharma at Mania. That should be good. I'm much more interested in these diva matches when they can wrestle and aren't just models turned diva's.
