How long will this match last at WM 28? I guess it'll be 2 mins or less

Whatever. It's obvious WWE can't be bothered to care about the Divas division so why not I guess.
I say just get rid of the whole division full stop if the only way you're going to use them at WM is to calm down the crowd between the two biggest matches.

Trish Stratus recently did an interview, and when she was asked about the WM 18 Triple Threat with Jazz and Lita, she said the SkyDome crowd was "with us". So to answer your question, they apparently just pretend it went well. I just re-watched WM X18 and the crowd was actually pretty good for Trish/Jazz/Lita. They were definately quieter than they had been earlier in the night (which is to be expected) but they still got pretty into it. More than they do these days. It was after Rock/Hogan so my hat's off to them for keeping the crowd interested in the slightest. As for the match, it seems that it's was a quickly put together celebrity match to keep the Divas' gears spinning (and getting a Wrestlemania paycheck) as they were obviously building to Beth vs Kharma and an Eve vs Ryder feud but decided to withhold on them until after Mania for various reasons.

I don't mind this match for a few reasons, not counting the shallowness of Maria's hotness.
1. Maria didn't do bad in her last 2 outings, she trained for them so she takes it seriously.
2. She's a fan, and that's always good. You know she wants to be there, and that she's not just doing it for a paycheck.
3. It gets mainstream exposure for Eve, Beth, and Kelly. You've got those 3 popping up on Extra. Instead of being forgotten about, they've got a match that maybe some people who don't watch wrestling will want to see.
4. It's better than last year's match, where Kelly was screwed out of a spot. And Drew McIntyre was screwed out of a spot because they dropped the whole Kelly and Drew story.
5. You can still advance the Ryder and Eve story with this match. It's going to go on after Team Long vs Team Excitement, so if Ryder gets a spot on Teddy's team he'll still be available to play a role in this match. He can accompany Beth and Eve, wind up distracting Eve, allowing for Kelly and Maria to win, and he leaves with them. And as payback Eve recruits Kane, and the Kane vs Ryder storyline picks up for Extreme Rules.

Considering how short last years was an that was with the likes of Trish and the heavily pushed Laycool I expect this to not go past the 1 min possibly min and a half mark atleast when it comes to in ring.
Kelly will start , kelly gets beat down by beth , makes hot tag to menuonos , menunons gets to surprise beth once or twice before beth gets mad , kelly makes it back to her feet distracts beth long enough before eve tackles her they fall to the outside , menunons with the roll up on beth...match over.

I also bet that she will be the diva to some how get the title from Kharma if she becomes champion.

Never forget! Yes, she's already pinned Beth!: The last gif Gag me with a spoon. No way a skinny twig should be able to beat a powerhouse.

I can't see anyway this ends other than Kelly getting in most of the offense and then Maria getting the pin so they can show it on Extra & other mainstream shows the following week. I don't see any scenario where Beth & Eve win, and they probably will look pretty weak after it as well. Beth deserved more than being an afterthought in a 2-minute tag.

Here's what I'm really dreading.
In the build up they're gonna have Beth v Kelly for the Divas title and Maria Menounos costs Beth the title. Then after Mania Kelly v Eve becomes the main divas feud and Beth is completely forgotten about.
I honestly can see that happening.

I have read up on who this woman is...but I still have no clue who she is. The story of most celebrities used from UK viewers perspective! Either way if it's a tag team bout at 'Mania where Beth and Eve batter Kelly for a bit and celebrity woman comes in for a quick pin I won't mind. Beth can do her usual gimmick of "I AM THE BEST, BUT WILL BE SMUG, TAUNT AND GET SCHOOL BOYED!" after hammering K2 and look alright still. Then have Eve push her for losing the match and being crap etc, feud set up for next PPV. I mean, I would have loved Beth vs Natalya, or Beth vs Kharma (I know that won't happen ) or Beth vs Eve even, but yeah, it's a divas match to get some people a WM payday. No long term female wrestler planning ever works out when the WWE only ever has an A plan so it's no surprise.
