Beth Phoenix successfully defends the WWE Divas Championship at Vengeance

Here's the match video from Beth Phoenix's successful WWE Divas Championship defense over Eve Torres. You'll notice the commentary is in French which is a big improvement over Michael Cole's blather. The match is above average and at least was given more time than the usual Divas match. The WWE is trying to sell Eve as a wrestler. She tries very hard but she messes up a lot. And it's easy to tell when her lack of experience is showing. Sometimes she doesn't know what to do and she just stands there with a goofy look on her face. That happened in this match when she ties Beth to the ropes with a wristband and then doesn't follow it up. I don't know why they had her do that if she wasn't going to do anything with it. But she does OK and they almost had Eve win the match with a sunset flip reversal of the Glam Slam. Yes, you do have to suspend a little disbelief to accept that Beth would let up on that move enough to allow her to attempt that. I guess they're just trying to show that she could win. But unlike Kelly Kelly, they didn't have her win the title. Beth is the ring general and her job is to make both of them look good. So it was OK. Check it out for yourself.
