McCool retains, James wins WWE women's titles

On last night's WWE Night Of Champions PPV, the WWE did something they hadn't done before. They had two women's title matches on the show. Strangely enough they bookended the Orton/Cena/HHH three way match. And of course I have video of both matches. First up was Michelle McCool defending the WWE Women's Championship against Melina. I thought it was pretty good. Michelle has really improved since turning heel. It just seems to suit her better. And I think this may have been Melina's best match ever in the WWE. But she's been a bust as a babyface. I liked what Michelle did before the match and it's obvious she's been working hard on improving her ring skills. My main quibble with the match is both of them need to sell damage better especially if it's a big bump outside the ring. The ending indicates that the match had to end. It seemed rushed and they should have been given more time. And Michelle retained of course. It seems that Maryse's defense of the WWE Diva's Championship against Mickie James was given that time when it probably should have been shorter. Maryse may have the whole heel shtick down but it's pretty clear that she doesn't know how to wrestle yet. And you can see that Mickie was not happy with her during the match. The heel is supposed to be the aggressor so it's difficult for Mickie to hide Maryse's weaknesses. I like Mickie's energy so I was glad to see her win the title. Maryse really needs to work on her ring skills. Hope you enjoy the videos.
