Divas Champion Eve def. Layla and Kaitlyn (Divas Championship Triple Threat Match)

ATLANTA — Using Triple Threat Match rules to her favor at WWE Hell in a Cell, Eve defeated both Layla and Kaitlyn, walking out of Atlanta with the Divas Championship firmly in hand. ( PHOTOS)

Eve was at a distinct disadvantage as good friends Layla and Kaitlyn teamed up to take out the Assistant to SmackDown General Manager Booker T. Layla and Kaitlyn then began trading holds, before Eve interrupted the proceedings.

Eve focused her attack on the previously injured leg of Kaitlyn, locking her in a torturous submission hold. Eve ironically exploited that injury, which cost Kaitlyn a title match at Night of Champions and lead to Eve’s victory against Layla for the championship.

Kaitlyn fought through the pain of the hold and used her unmatched power to escape. She then looked to regain control of the match with a flurry of crushing clotheslines to both Eve and Layla. The winner of NXT season three showed off her power, rolling through a crossbody attempt by Layla, and then deadlifting her friend up for a big powerslam. Kaitlyn had the Divas Championship within reach until Eve came out of nowhere to dispatch Kaitlyn and cover Layla to retain the title.

With Eve’s legal but sneaky defense fresh in their minds, as well as the mystery of Kaitlyn’s attacker still cloudy, it’s clear that Layla and The Hybrid Diva still have unfinished business with the champion.
