Former Divas Champion and notoriously conceited Canadian Maryse will face reigning champion Eve in the hope of recapturing the butterfly title at Over the Limit.

These dueling Divas have never exactly been the best of friends, but their recent animosity toward one another can likely be traced back to the April 12 edition of Raw, when Eve, thanks in large part to her Jiu-Jitsu training, defeated the trash-talker to capture the Divas Championship, the first title of her career.

Maryse has tormented the Divas Champion for the past few weeks, but perhaps the most underhanded move by the narcissistic ne’er-do-well came during the May 3 edition of Raw. Maryse shocked the WWE Universe by not only brutally attacking the Divas Champion during a photo shoot, but then posing for glamour shots over her fallen foe after the fact. While Eve confronted her later that night, Maryse had taken their contention to a never-before-seen level.

With Maryse evidently studying Jiu-Jitsu (or at least a form of the martial art that incorporates groin kicks and pepper spray), Eve might have her hands even more full than expected when she defends her title at Over the Limit this Sunday, only on pay-per-view.

After Eve’s triumphant display in a Red Carpet “Dress to Impress” Battle Royal, the talented maiden heads into the next Monday Night Raw to battle Divas Champion Maryse for the coveted title.

Raw is pretaped tonight as they’re filming in London, so check back later for spoilers reguarding Maryse’s title defence tonight.

Nine of the most talented Divas from Raw and SmackDown — and Vickie Guerrero — will collide on The Grandest Stage of Them All when Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Eve, Gail Kim & Beth Phoenix team up to take on Women’s Champion Michelle McCool, Divas Champion Maryse, Layla, Alicia Fox & Vickie at WrestleMania.

The seeds of this multi-Diva melee were planted as far back as Feb. 26 when Vickie helped McCool defeat Mickie to reclaim the Women’s Championship on SmackDown. From there, the egotistical Consultant continued to ally herself with the duo of LayCool while irrtiating every Diva on the SmackDown roster. The biggest offensive, however, came two weeks ago on Raw when McCool, Layla and Vickie made an uninvited appearance on Monday night and brutally attacked Gail, Eve and Kelly.

Vickie’s tyrannical behavior continued as she challenged Beth Phoenix to a match on Smackdown. Of course, the WWE Universe found out she had a trick up her sleeve when she announced the bout was now a 5-on-1 Handicap Match. Thanks to the help of McCool, Layla, Alicia & Maryse, Guerrero was able to do the inconceivable and pin The Glamazon.

Vickie would not get away that easily, though. After Mickie, Gail, Eve and Kelly came to Beth’s aid, the powerful SmackDown Diva was able to get her hands on Guerrero and tear her pants off. As the SmackDown Consultant waddled up the entrance ramp in her “Excuse Me” undies, the WWE Universe exploded with laughter, but everyone knew her sinister mind was already plotting a comeback.

With tempers raging in the Divas locker room, the WWE Universe can expect fireworks when these sexy, smart and powerful women step in the ring on Sunday, only on pay-per-view.

Nature abhors a vacuum and, apparently, so do WWE Divas. When former Divas Champion Melina injured herself and was unable to continue her reign, a bevy of the sexy, smart and powerful lovelies stepped forward to fill the void. Now, after several weeks of intense tournament matches, that group has narrowed to two, Gail Kim and Maryse, who will battle at WWE Elimination Chamber to determine the next Divas Champion.

As Gail and Maryse prepare for perhaps the most important match of their respective careers, they must shift focus from the gauntlet just completed to the challenge ahead. A victory for Gail would propel her into rarified air indeed as one of only four Divas ever to have held both the Women’s Championship and the Divas Championship. Were the conceited Canadian to prevail, the win would mean her second reign possessing the Butterfly Title.

How the match will play out is anyone’s guess, however, it should be noted that, as of late, Maryse has shown uncharacteristic sportsmanship toward her opponent. Whether her sentiments are genuine or simply a ploy to gain psychological advantage remains to be seen. Stay tuned.

Gail Kim vs. Maryse for the Divas Title will be on RAW tonight in Nashville, TN.
