Two of the most lethal Divas in WWE will once again clash for the gold when Women’s Champion Michelle McCool attempts to defend her title against Melina at Night of Champions. Their second struggle for Diva dominance over all Friday night threatens to reach an even greater level of intensity than their previous battle at The Bash.

Since carrying the coveted Women’s gold to SmackDown as part of the 2009 WWE Draft, Melina has been on an absolute tear, kicking her supremely aggressive style into high gear as she acquaints herself with the smart, sexy, and powerful Divas of Friday night. Her unrelenting assault inside the squared circle commands both respect and fear from any Diva that has the nerve to face her.

But the ruthless McCool refused to make way for the new Friday night arrival. Instead, she sharpened her already legendary mean streak and honed her dangerous ability to work outside the rules. Michelle used these attributes and more, ultimately reigning supreme over Melina at The Bash to become the first Diva to capture both the Divas and Women’s Titles. Despite the nature of her tactics, no one can deny that the vicious beauty found a way to win in the only singles encounter between the two fierce Divas since Melina’s emergence on SmackDown.

Melina has since fired back with two convincing victories over Michelle and her partner in tag team action, making it very clear to the champion and the WWE Universe that she has every intention of getting her title back. From the moment she charges down the red carpet, the stunning Diva is the very essence of wild, unbridled determination. Her fierce nature and razor-sharp agility make her a nearly unstoppable threat anytime she splits her way into the ring. And with this new challenge before her, she seems even more intense than ever.

The first showdown between Melina and Michelle at The Bash turned into an absolutely explosive encounter. It could, however, prove merely a prelude to the intense storm that is looming on the horizon.
