After weeks of the WWE Divas title being vacant, it looks like we will have more weeks of a vacant Divas title. Maryse vs. Gail Kim did not happen at WWE Elimination Chamber. Instead, there was a WWE Divas tag team match where Michelle McCool and Layla defeated Gail Kim and Maryse.
WWE Divas – 2010 Elimination Chamber Match:
WWE Divas Championship
Gail Kim vs. Maryse
Maryse and Gail Kim vs. Michelle McCool and Layla
—Before the match, Maryse approached Gail Kim with more gestures of comradery, and once again mentioned that the Raw Divas were better than the Smackdown Divas. Gail shocked Maryse by talking in French, stating that she is aware that Maryse has been trash talking her in French.
Maryse was out first for the match, followed by Gail Kim. Vickie Guerrero then made her way to the arena, belittling the Divas of Raw. She then booked Maryse and Gail Kim vs. Michelle McCool and Layla. Gail and Layla started the match, with Gail dominating. The match turned in Michelle and Layla’s favor when Michelle kicked Gail off the top ropes. Michelle was tagged in, and the ladies did a double baseball slide to Gail on the outside. Michelle then preceded to control the rest of the match. The end came when Maryse refused to recieve a tag, and shoved Kim backwards. Michelle then kicked Kim, and proceeded to hit the “faith breaker.”
Winner: Maryse at 3:45
After the match, Maryse hit her “french kiss” on Gail. Overall, despite no champion being crowed, this was a great showing for Gail Kim, who showed a lot of personality in her backstage segment, and worked well with Michelle and Layla.
Also on the show was…
—John Cena wining Raw’s Elimination Chamber Match
—Batista defeating John Cena for the WWE Championship
— Intercontinental Champion Drew McIntyre defeating Kane
—United States Champion The Miz defeating MVP
The SD! vs. RAW divas issue could’ve easily been done on RAW. But I don’t know whether WWE couldn’t handle Maryse wrestling on PPV or they want this "feud" to stretch out a bit more. At least it got Gail Kim to talk during the backstage segment beforehand………..while doing the "hand thing" to Maryse’s face.
Standard divas match, nothing we haven’t seen before. SD! divas got their "revenge" from being dissed by the RAW divas (Well, just Maryse) and Maryse French Kiss DDT’d Gail Kim to have the feud continue.

Gail was pure gold in the segment, one of her best promos.
I thought Layla and Gail worked nicely together, and enjoyed Vickie being involved. I am actually for Vickie being involved with the Raw divas, which would def help get them over. I believe it is working on Smackdown.
