On the October 26, 2012 episode of WWE Smackdown, Eve and Aksana faced Kaitlyn and Layla in tag team action

— We start off with a backstage segment featuring Eve, Aksana, Kaitlyn, Layla, Booker T, and Teddy Long. Booker T wants to settle the drama about Kaitlyn’s attacker, and he does so by asking Aksana did Eve send her that email. Aksana denies the email, but then says that it was a text message. The girls are arguing as Booker has to settle things down. In walks Teddy to explain the whole thing: Eve sent a text message to Aksana to take Kaitlyn out at Night of Champions. Booker warns Eve that if that’s true, she can no longer be a part of his staff. Eve goes on to play the victim once again, and says that she leaves her iPad and iPhone lying around and that anyone could’ve sent that to Aksana as she glares at Teddy. Everyone’s arguing back and forth, which Booker puts an end to. Booker T sets up a triple threat match for the Divas Championship at Hell In A Cell and a tag team match between Eve, Aksana, Kaitlyn, and Layla for Smackdown.

Winner(s): Eve and Aksana

Thoughts: Wow!Smackdown was great for the divas. We got more storyling development and a decent tag match. I love how Aksana’s now in the mix of this because it gives her something to do now that she’s not with Antonio anymore. The match was pretty decent. Kaitlyn really showed a lot of aggression. The finish was perfect to me because with this sunday’s match being triple threat, there does need to be tension amond Eve, Layla, and Kaitlyn against each other. Eve’s still trying to convince everyone that she’s innocent in all this, and honestly, I don’t know whether to believe her or not. Someone else could have used Eve’s phone and/or iPad to get Aksana to attack Kaitlyn. Then again, Eve could be being manipulative. Hopefully, we’ll get more answers this sunday at HIAC.
