8/26 WWE Raw Results: New Contender For World Heavyweight Championship, Punk and Heyman Get Physical, and Bryan Runs The Gauntlet

Natalya (with Cameron and Naomi) vs. Brie Bella (with Nikki Bella and Eva Marie)

JoJo is the special guest ring announcer for the Divas match. Natayla sends Brie to the corner and kicks her in the stomach. Brie ends up tripping Natalya and kicks her in the back. Brie grabs Natalya by the hair and throws her to the mat. Natalya reversed a move and hit Brie with a face plant. She locks in the Sharpshooter until Nikki drags her to the outside.  Brie takes control and hits a X-Factor for the victory. After the match, AJ Lee comes out with her Divas Championship on her shoulder. She says she just watched "Total Divas" and talks about last night's episode and bashes each member personally. She is extremely facetious and talks down to them. She says she sees a bunch of cheap, interchangable, expendable, useless women in the ring. She says these women turn to reality television because they are not actresses and are not talented enough to be a champion. She says she has done more in one year than they all have done in years. She talks about breaking down doors and calls them plastic mannequinns. She talks about how the girls sucked up to the right people and she got here because she earned the championship. AJ says none of the Divas will be able to lace up her Chuck Taylor's. She says "that is reality" and leaves.

Winner: Brie Bella
