While it’s been announced that WWE will continually broadcast Monday Night Raw for three hours, the time slot they usually have for special occasions (think anniversary shows, etc.), instead of the usual two, TNA president Dixie Carter made an announcement of her own.

TNA will be going live over summer, starting from the 31st May.

“We are excited to take IMPACT WRESTLING Live! all summer long, and have our first Live! summer show launch our new 8:00pm/ET time slot,” says TNA President Dixie Carter. “Summer of 2012 is going to be remembered as the most momentous time in our company’s history-to-date. Stay tuned.”

I (Trisha) personally haven’t watched an episode of Monday Night Raw due to a lack of appeal in the first hour of the show. Well, that and the lack of Diva air time, but that’s always been an issue, hasn’t it? I think that WWE need to focus more on what they’re broadcasting in the current amount of time they have on air and utilise that time more. People may zone out after two hours if it’s the same repetitive stuff. TNA, on the other hand, have probably found their way around sites (including us!) that post those pesky spoilers from upcoming shows.

In breaking and somewhat Diva related news, from July 23rd (RAW’s 1000th episode) Monday Night RAW will be permanently given a three hour time slot. If done rightly, this can mean big things for the WWE Divas of RAW, with three hours there is no excuse for super short matches and the lack of emphasis, storylines and character development gone into the division. WWE.com posted the following:

NEW YORK – At a USA Network season premiere event in New York City, John Cena revealed on Twitter that Monday Night Raw will expand to a three-hour show, starting with the 1,000th episode on July 23 at 8/7 CT on USA Network.

‘WWE is proud to celebrate this historic milestone with our partners at USA Network,’ WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon said. “’Our new three-hour Raw represents the next generation in interactive television where our fans won’t just watch the show, they will help create it.’

Starting with the historic 1,000th episode of Raw on July 23, The WWE Universe will have new ways to get involved in the show through WWE.com and social media by deciding matches, stipulations, Superstar development and more.

‘The WWE Universe is one of the most socially active and passionate fan bases in all of television,” Chris McCumber and Jeff Wachtel, co-presidents USA Network, said. “The powerful three-hour block of live TV truly makes USA the year-round destination for young male viewers on Monday nights.’

Gail Kim and Madison Rayne defeated ODB and Eric Young to win the TNA Knockouts Tag Titles.

Powell’s Update: Bill was under the impression that the titles were on the line, but a TNA source informed me that it was actually a non-title match. My apologies for the misunderstanding.

- It is unknown at this time as there is a conflict of spoilers saying they won the titles and some saying they didn’t.

AJ stood in the ring to explain the Dixie Carter scandal. Before he could thoroughly explain it, Daniels and Kazarian came out interrupting him. Daniels and Kazarian then show a video of AJ on their IPAD of of Dixie Carter and AJ Styles at a hotel. They end up going into a hotel room together. Daniels and Kazarian trash talk AJ. AJ goes after the tag champions but eventually leaves the ring.

After nearly a two year hiatus, The Top 12 (formally known as the Divalicious Dozen) has returned to OhSoDivalicious. If you aren’t familiar with ‘The Top 12′ then here’s the drift; it’s just like WWE.com’s ‘Power 25′ feature but ours is much smaller (and better). Ours counts down the top twelve women of wrestling each week. Let’s get on with it with our number twelve, shall we?

#12 – AKSANA

Last week: #N/A
On Smackdown, Aksana solidified her relationship with newcomer Antonio Cesaro when she told the world, and Teddy, that she and Long were only ever friends. She then said her and Antonio were lovers before making out with him infront of a heart broken Teddy Long.

#11 – VELVET SKY

Last week: #4
Velvet Sky lost a singles match against number one contender, Brooke Tessmacher, on Impact this past Thursday. Looks like the pigeons won’t be letting loose any time soon.

#10 – KELLY KELLY

Last week: #7
Kelly may have been on the winning team of a tag team match on RAW, but she didn’t get tagged in once, so she drops down the list this week.

#9 – ALICIA FOX

Last week: #6
Alicia may have been successful in FOXYFYING JTG on NXT but she was unsuccessful in her bout against Natalya on Superstars.

#8 – NATALYA

Last week: #N/A
Returning to ‘The Top 12′ this week is Natalya! Nattie was on the losing end of a tag team match on RAW – but she didn’t get pinned. Then on Superstars, Nattie managed to make Superstars foe, Alicia Fox, tap out to the Sharpshooter! Yeah baby.

#7 – GAIL KIM

Last week: #12
Gail gained some momentum this week for the first time in a few weeks as she assaulted number one contender Brooke Tessmacher after her match with Velvet Sky, sending her a clear message before the PPV tonight.

#6 – MAXINE

Last week: #10
After being pinned on RAW, Maxine turned over a new leaf and managed to score a victory over “Tammy” a.k.a. Tamina on NXT, making her tap out. With the leaf turned, Maxine was also set free from her handcuffed nightmare with Dirty Curty.

#5 – PAIGE

Last week: #N/A
Paige managed to score a pinfall victory over the FCW Divas champion, Raquel Diaz, this past Sunday at FCW giving her a massive boost and a possible championship match in the near future. Is the anti-Diva era of Paige upon us?

#4 – AJ LEE

Last week: #5
After two weeks of slapping Kaitlyn in the face, AJ finally got a chance to have a singles match with her. She took her former BFF down twice before knocking her out with a Shining Wizard.

#3 – BROOKE TESSMACHER

Last week: #2
Brooke scored another victory on Impact Wrestling, this time over Velvet Sky. The number one contender was unfortunately attacked by the champion however after her match.

#2 – LAYLA

Last week: #1
Dropping one spot this week is the Divas champ, Layla! Layla picked up a win over NXT Diva Maxine on RAW this week! You’re not enough for herrrrrrrrr…

#1 – EVE TORRES

Last week: #3
Executive Administrator Eve Torres really abused her power this week on RAW. After overhearing Big Show poke fun at Johnny Ace’s voice, she went out after his match and demanded he apologize for it. She didn’t accept his lame apology and really put him in his place, telling him outside of the WWE there isn’t much calling for oversized, overweight, old freaks. Eve Torres has to be the first woman to make a seven foot giant look three inches tall. She looks good to me!!!
