Eighteen months after her WWE departure, former Diva Eve Torres may be set to break into the mainstream after landing a supporting role on an upcoming TV show for the El Rey cable channel.

As Philiana Ng of The Hollywood Reporter notes, Torres has signed on to play a recurring role on Matador, a spy thriller about a famous soccer player who (try not to laugh) goes on dangerous covert missions for the CIA in his spare time.

The report discusses Torres' character: "Torres will appear as Reyna Flores, a sideline journalist who reports on Tony's rise to fame. Sharp, ambitious and fit, Reyna is a former college player herself who is passionate about the game as she is about her career."

Granted, the idea of a soccer player who moonlights as a secret agent for the CIA is rather absurd, but it is being produced by Robert Rodriguez, the same guy behind the campy Machete franchise and the absurd Sin City films.

Realism tends to go out the window with him. Actually, no—it dramatically throws itself out the window, shoots a few bad guys and disappears into the sunset, never to be seen by human eyes again.

As for how Torres will do in the role? That's a tough one.


She does have some experience in Hollywood: Last year she picked up a part in straight-to-DVD sequel The Scorpion King 4: The Quest for Power. Thanks to her extensive background in gymnastics and mixed martial arts, the star should be able to pull off the physical side of her character too.

But the acting ability and line delivery she showed on Raw often left a lot to be desired. Anyone remember her performance when Kane was chasing her and Zack Ryder through the parking lot? That was bad.

In fairness though, it's possible the former divas champion will work better with more coherent material.

Survivor Series 2011 : Divas Champion Beth Phoenix vs. Eve (Lumberjill Match)

The fight over the Divas Championship amidst Eve and champion Beth Phoenix has spilled out of the ring and into the locker room, on Twitter and even the interstates of Georgia. Now, the a few can face off at Survivor Series in a Lumberjill Match and if their late crashes are any evidence, not even the roads of New York City would hold them. Yet, that won’t be a situation this Sunday, as the ring can be surrounded by lumberjills. In the event that the activity is taken to the stadium stun, its dependent upon the rest of the WWE Divas to toss them again in the ring.

When The Glamazon massacred Eve to hold her championship final month at Vengeance, she and Natalya carried on their tries to break the spirits of Eve and Kelly. They stole Eve's adapt from the locker room the accompanying week, tweeting out pictures ridiculing the marvelousness as they toyed with her golden ring attire. Yet, the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-educated Diva got a measure of retribution on the Oct. 31 Raw SuperShow, dumping Natalya out of the ring to win a No. 1 Contender's Battle Royal to acquire a rematch in opposition to Phoenix at Survivor Series.

Eve and Kelly likewise constructed a late partner in Alicia Fox, who accommodated the pair assist repulse the ambushes of the self-declared “Sisters of Salvation” as well as modest them by heisting the Divas Champion and Natalya's rental auto.

The Divas Championship Match at Survivor Series might as well be an one-on-one undertaking. Nonetheless, nothing in this contention has been equitably challenged, as a result of the devious tactics of The Glamazon and Natalya. Now, the decks should be stacked a small more proportionally, as Kelly, Alicia Fox, Natalya and the rest of the WWE Divas can be ringside to verify the movement stays in the ring.

Which Diva will rule and leave with the championship?

Raw Recap 11/7/11 : WWE Diva's, They Want Their Gimmick Back!

Raw from Liverpool, England appeared to take a shot at paper, but in execution, fell level. A fantastic break from the standard a few moment tag crew matches, the previous evening Raw alternately offered an in-ring portion positioned around Kelly Kelly‘s divulging of her late Maxim magazine blanket. With the Divas seldomly getting mic time, this portion would be able to have propelled the storyline, prodding the upcoming Eve vs Beth title match or setting something up for Survivor Series, alternately it didn’t totally perform anything. Well, it composed this author yearn for LayCool, but that would be about it.

Let’s watch:

We see Kelly with a tremendous smirk on her challenge strolling to the ringside dominion, and she has exceptional purpose behind the grin—she's on the spread of Maxim! As Jerry Lawler presents her as his “best liked Diva” (hmm, we’re sensing a plan: The Kat, Trish, Kelly turns out to a huge adulation from the swarm. (Form sidebar: I’m not feeling Kelly's dress.)

Kelly starts giving us an Oscar talk about acting like an adult in front of the WWE Universe and having her ups and downs. That would be fabulous, Kelly, but this isn’t a retirement talk. You’ve still stretched out beyond you. Unequivocally indicate us the spread!

Obviously, you can’t have quite an euphoric instant for one Diva without an additional smashing the gathering. Actually, construct that a few, as out come Beth Phoenix and Natalya taunting small Kelly and calling her a Barbie doll. Kelly's comeback? “I wouldn’t intrude on you depending on if you were on the spread of National Geographic”. Womp.

Beth declares that Kelly being on a magazine blanket is a false impression of what it takes to be a Diva. “A WWE Diva is something greater than simply an all around appearance and a bucketful of perkiness”. Beth and Natalya try to corner Kelly and tell her its “shout time”. On the other hand, before they can lay a hand on K2, out come Eve and Alicia Fox (Fashion sidebar: Alicia looks furious), making the recovery, as the Divas of Doom escape the ring.

Alicia & Eve tell Kelly that this is her instant, not Beth and Natalya’s, disclosing her spread for all to see.

Musings: Two statements: Not astounded. I’m not awed by the course that WWE has taken Beth and Natalya, having them appear to be a LayCool tribute act, deriding Kelly as they descended the slope. I’m sad, but I actually don’t purchase it. Layla and Michelle McCool were excellent at what they did in light of the fact that they had the pretentious heel schedule under control. Beth and Natalya are not affected heels. They are physically antagonizing, break-a-b*tch-depending on if-she-checks out-you-wrong heels. In any event they ought to be. The theatrics that WWE had Beth and Natalya do as they descended the slope fell level, assuming that you inquire. I actually don’t think that this is the bearing these elements might as well be going in. I much inclined toward the second part of Beth's promo, discussing how magazines blankets and so forth. give a false representation of what a Diva might as well be. It felt more “accurate” to their elements.

Contrasting this with the Christy Hemme Playboy divulging in 2005, this portion needed. Trish Stratus had the appeal and pizazz to totally put a verbal hurting on Christy (as well as a physical one), but none, of these Natalya or Beth are Trish on the mouthpiece. That would be not a thump on them, since the Divas can’t get preferable unless they’re given more mic chance to enhance, but it unequivocally didn’t have that wit to it in the same route as Trish had, nor did it tick the “annoyingly heel-ish and pretentious” box like LayCool.

I could have taken every available opportunity to see Beth cut the second part of that promo, then afterward have them physically threaten Kelly, possibly put her in that stretch accommodation until Alicia and Eve made the recovery.

I adore Beth and Natalya, but WWE appears to be absent the pontoon on what the aforementioned elements ought to be.

Notwithstanding what about Eve's title shot? No notice of it whatsoever the previous evening. They could’ve done something with Eve and Beth to tease their title match, for example Eve & Alicia making the recovery, and afterward Eve and Beth having some sort of dispute.

Cryssi could be once more following week, but for this week… Melanie out!
