Last night at the wwe smackdown tapings michelle mccool recaptured the womens championship, but wait theirs a little more to this story than just the spoilers.

Spoilers:

Beth Phoenix vs. Rosa Mendes was up next. The hometown girl returned (Beth Phoenix) and received the biggest pop of the night and a standing ovation. Before the match, Vickie Guerrero came out and introduced herself as the general manager of Raw and told Rosa to leave the ring. She said Michelle McCool has invoked her rematch clause and for the first time ever the women’s title will be defended in a 2 on 1 handicap match. Beth vs Lay-Cool.

4. Michelle McCool and Layla defeated Beth Phoenix, so McCool won the WWE Women’s Championship. During the match, a “Let’s Go Buffalo” chant broke out in support of Beth. Beth was selling the knee injury and had a brace on it. I can’t remember the last time I saw the crowd this into a women’s title match.

The match ended when McCool and Beth butted heads. After Michelle rolled out of the ring, Layla made the cover. The winner and new women’s champion is Michelle McCool. After the match, they mocked Beth as she sold the knee heavily and received a standing ovation as she was helped off. (Source: ProWrestling.net)

Now according to verious websites they state that layla won the womens championship due to her pin over phonix. One can only assume this, so being the snooper I am I also checked all 3 ladies wikepedia's and here is what it said

Layla:Eventually on the 11 May taping of SmackDown, McCool, who had lost the WWE Women's Championship in April at Extreme Rules, revoked her WWE contract championship rematch clause in a two-on-one handicap match with Layla. However, Layla would ultimately win the championship, her first in WWE, after pinning Phoenix.^[3]
