You know, the mystery to Gentiles, is why "rights" is applied to Jews alone, instead of all peoples holding it in equality.
We don't understand why you seek to place us in a minority voting demographic, "Goy".
It's perplexing, that you sell us an idea, merely meant for Jews; then claim anti-Semitism, when we apply your product sold, for the concept of consumer sales.

/wooo/ FPW eFed
So, /v/ has 8chanmania, the monster girl board has their own damn eFed, and even /co/ and /tg/ have FPW leagues now. This begs the question: WHY THE FUCK DOESN'T THE WRESTLING BOARD HAVE THEIR OWN DAMN EFED? I would like to propose we start up our own periodic FPW eFed, ideally steering away from the cancer and waifufaggotry that plagues every fucking other league right now and keeping it, at its core, about the wrastlin' entertainment.

Wrestlers who did porn
Is there any wrestler half a slut like Paige? With all the shit Chyna gets. She did porn for money. Paige Films her self doing sex that legitimately grossed out women who worked on pornhub. Paige leaked sex tapes made Jennifer Lawrence look like a pure maiden.
Next big wrestling scandal predictions
Something about John Cena feels faker and sleazier than most pro wrestlers. I have a feeling John Cena will have the biggest scandal in wrestling in years. Before he became a male feminist John Cena use to brag about fucking fat women on Howard stern. Male feminist tend to be rapists or creeps.
2019 Summer Infinity Cup
GREETINGS /wooo/
The Infinity Cup is returning once again, and 8chan's boards will be fighting it out on the pitch to claim divegrass supremacy. As a board that has participated in the Cup at one point or another in its history, you are invited to the reveal stream for 2019 Summer edition of the Cup. On Saturday June 22nd, at 3 PM EDT/7 PM UTC, on cytu.be/r/8cup I'll be giving you guys an early look at the Cup's 5th edition, which will include revamped aesthetics, team stadiums and other quality of life improvements I've figured out how to do in PES 17. Hopefully this will get anons back on board with the Cup, considering it has struggled mightily since its 2nd incarnation.
So how is it going to go down? I'll be staging a couple of exhibition matches between teams using their rosters from the last Cup, and we'll shitpost our merry way through the stream. Once the stream ends, entries will be open for the Cup, and boards can start putting together/editing their rosters and kits. Entries will close in early July, the field will be determined, and the Group Draw will take place approximately a week before the Cup kicks off in August. I'm also hoping to possibly introduce managers for the Cup, although I'm still working out the details to keep this from devolving into a namefag dick measuring contest. I hope you all will tune in, and in case you aren't caught up on your board's history, I've provided some links below to get you caught up:
WWE August Megathread:Brock Edition
How injured is Seth Rollins heading into his SummerSlam battle with Brock Lesnar?
>As Seth Rollins squared off against Dolph Ziggler this past Monday night on Raw, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar made a surprise appearance on the red brand, unleashing on The Architect with a savage succession of F-5s, even going so far as to assault Rollins as he was being loaded into an ambulance on a stretcher.
>Rollins underwent a series of evaluations at a local medical facility but refused to disclose any details regarding his medical condition to WWE Digital. As such, and given Rollins’ silence since that night, it remains to be seen what kind of damage The Beast Incarnate doled out to his SummerSlam challenger.
>Lesnar will be in the house for the final Raw before SummerSlam. Will The Kingslayer also make an appearance?
Was someone responsible for the Roman Reigns forklift incident?
>In the closing moments of Tuesday night’s SmackDown LIVE, improperly secured lighting equipment nearly crushed Roman Reigns, and although an investigation determined that the near-catastrophe was caused by forklift driver error, speculation abounds that someone was specifically targeting The Big Dog.
>If that’s the case, who could have been responsible? Might it have been Samoa Joe, who brawled with Reigns on Raw when their “Samoan Summit” to squash their beef ended before it started? What about Drew McIntyre, whose personal issues with Reigns are far from over after a series of brutal encounters? Could “The Best in the World” Shane McMahon have had a hand in orchestrating a deliberate plot to put Reigns on the shelf … or worse? Or was this simply an accident caused by human error on the part of the forklift operator, whose identity has not been revealed?
Will Stone Cold and Natalya’s rivalry continue to escalate?
>After Raw Women’s Champion Stone Cold interrupted Natalya’s pre-Raw training session with Fit Finlay to lock her SummerSlam challenger in the Dis-arm-her, The Queen of Harts retaliated later in the night by trapping The Man in her own signature submission hold, the Sharpshooter.
>After the attack, Natalya pondered whether she should make their Raw Women’s Title bout at The Biggest Event of the Summer a Submission Match but withheld an official challenge because she doubted Lynch would be bold enough to accept it.
>What will be the next chapter in the red-hot rivalry between Raw Women’s Champion Stone Cold and Canada’s Favorite Daughter, Natalya?
Will The O.C. keep their celebration going into SummerSlam?
>Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson snared the Raw Tag Team Titles this past Monday night by winning a Triple Threat Match. Pair that with the United States Title around AJ Styles’ waist, and The O.C. is dripping with championship gold (and champagne) heading into SummerSlam.
>But with Ricochet preparing to reclaim Styles’ title at SummerSlam, and with an entire division in pursuit of Gallows & Anderson’s new prizes, can The O.C. maintain their momentum heading into The Biggest Event of the Summer?
What’s next for WWE’s first pregnant champion?
>By “defeating” her husband and capturing the 24/7 Title, Maria Kanellis became WWE’s first-ever pregnant champion, and despite Drake Maverick’s social media bravado, no Superstar has dared to challenge her for her newly won prize. Will Maria remain our 24/7 Champion until her second child is born?

>Universal Champion Seth Rollins & Raw Women’s Champion Stone Cold vs. Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans (Winners Take All Mixed Tag Team Extreme Rules Match)

WWE July 219 Megathread Heyman/Bischoff Edition
Falls. Count. Anywhere
>Braun Strowman has bested Bobby Lashley in an Arm Wrestling Match, a one-on-one battle at WWE Super ShowDown and, this past Monday night, a Tug of War. However, it was The All Mighty who was standing tall after that most recent test of strength, pulling the tugging rope across the eyes of The Monster Among Men to temporarily blind the goliath, then driving him into the ringside barricade.
>Strowman will have a chance for retribution against the bitter Lashley when they meet in a Falls Count Anywhere Match on Raw in Dallas. Will Lashley continue to “get these hands” as these titans battle all over the arena in a bout where pinfalls or submissions can occur anywhere? Or will The All Mighty use this chaotic stipulation to finally cut The Monster Among Men down to size?
>Whatever happens, you won’t want to miss any of the hard-hitting havoc.
The New Day and The Viking Raiders to throw down in tag team action
>The Wild Card rule is about to deliver for the WWE Universe yet again!
>The New Day will collide with The Viking Raiders in tag team action for the first time ever this Monday night on Raw. Which two members of The New Day will square off against the gargantuan unit of Erik & Ivar in what is easily the biggest opportunity of their tenure on Raw thus far?
>Find out when the massive match goes down this Monday night on Raw.
How will Baron Corbin & Lacey Evans exploit Seth Rollins’ “kryptonite”?
>After their Winners Take All Mixed Tag Team Match against Universal Champion Seth Rollins and Raw Women’s Champion Stone Cold was made official for WWE Extreme Rules, Lacey Evans told Baron Corbin that “even Superman has his kryptonite,” and that The Beastslayer’s one weakness is The Man herself.
>How will The Sassy Southern Belle and The Lone Wolf work to ensure they leave Philadelphia with both titles on Sunday, July 14, and how will Rollins and Lynch respond?
The Big Dog and The Deadman unite
>It was an alliance that no one saw coming (especially not Roman Reigns), but The Undertaker returned this past Monday night on Raw to help The Big Dog repel a two-on-one beatdown at the hands of Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre. The unexpected assist led to a blockbuster WWE Extreme Rules announcement that Reigns and The Deadman will join forces against “The Best in the World” and The Scottish Psychopath in Philadelphia.
>What fallout from this shocking team-up will we witness this Monday on Raw?
Is AJ Styles in line for a U.S. Title opportunity?
>In his first match back from injury, AJ Styles lived up to his “Never Rest, Never Rust” T-shirt slogan, bringing the fight to new United States Champion Ricochet in a blockbuster Raw main event that sealed a victory for The Phenomenal One.
>Ricochet has been on a tear lately, dazzling the WWE Universe and dazing opponents as he continues to fine-tune his spectacular aerial offense, but the veteran Styles proved in their match why he’s lauded as one of the most competitive Superstars in WWE today. With that victory, will Styles soon battle Ricochet once more, this time with the star-spangled title on the line?
Is Samoa Joe our next WWE Champion?
>Kofi Kingston is the definition of a fighting champion. One night after defending his WWE Title against Dolph Ziggler in a Steel Cage Match at WWE Stomping Grounds, he was victorious in back-to-back bouts against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Taking advantage of Kingston’s exhaustion, however, Samoa Joe attacked Kingston from behind and locked him in the Coquina Clutch, making clear his intentions to decimate the WWE Champion and claim his title.
>The ambush set in motion a WWE Title Match between Kingston and The Samoan Submission Machine at WWE Extreme Rules. Kofi now counts down the days to what could be his greatest challenge since winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. How will Joe follow up on last week’s heinous assault?
Will WWE continue political parody tradition?
Democratic Primaries 2020 cosplay?
I just came across this bit they did in 2008 where they parodied Obama/Clinton from the primaries. Any chance WWE might do this for the 2020 ones? Would be interesting to do a mass costume event for the 20 people who got to debate (10 per night) before they get eliminated for the next round.
Political Autism Thread
Taking a page from another board, this thread is about chronicling and discussing stupid shit current and former wrestlers have to say about politics and probably a little shitflinging.
Politicsfagging will still be fine as it comes up in other threads but this is a thread for CONCENTRATED AUTISM.
what is that wrestling trope where you switch shirts?
shirt reveal?
I remember I think sometime during the attitude era something involving DX and someone wearing their shirt underneath some other shirt and by removing the one shirt they showed their true allegiance to another group.
Can anyone find the video of that? Seeing this YT comment made me remember this but I can't seem to turn it up. Is there a name for the trope? I feel like I've seen it done many times in wrestling, probably as a tribute to the first time, but the details are blurry.

Smackdowns - 6/5/18
Cute English girl takes on Japanese and Southern man Edition
> What is sure to be a heated WWE Championship Match at WWE Money in the Bank will be made official tonight.
>SmackDown Live General Manager Paige took to social media over the weekend to announce that she will be hosting a contract signing for the Last Man Standing Match between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura.
>There is no telling what will happen when The Phenomenal One and The King of Strong Style are in the same room, as they brawled wildly the last time they shared the ring. What will happen between these bitter rivals as Paige presides over their contract signing?
Charlotte Flair and Betchy Glynch to square off
> Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch will put their friendship to the test tonight, when they do battle on SmackDown LIVE.
>The match was born out of some playful banter between the two pals, as each discussed why they would be the one to win the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. SmackDown General Manager Paige happened to be watching the exchange, and she declared it was “tea time” for the two Superstars before making the match official.
>Who will earn a monumental victory heading into the career-changing Ladder Match?
Naomi & Jimmy Uso to face Lana & Aiden English in Mixed Tag Team action
> After their Dance-Off ended in a chaotic brawl, Naomi and Lana will be on opposite sides of a Mixed Tag Team Match tonight on SmackDown LIVE. Naomi will team with her husband, Jimmy Uso, while Lana will join forces with Aiden English.
>A social media exchange between the two women, who are taking part in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, led to the Dance-Off. After their initial routines, the two seemed to have respect for each other, taking part in a tandem dance. However, The Ravishing Russian took advantage of the situation by dropping Naomi with a neckBREAKer and slapping Uso in the face. That set off a huge melee that ended with Naomi and The Usos standing tall in the ring.
>Which tandem will reign supreme in this Mixed Tag Team showdown?
Carmella promises to "unmask" Asuka on SmackDown LIVE
>SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella caught the WWE Universe off-guard on Monday when she promised to expose her challenger at WWE Money in the Bank, Asuka.
>What kind of dirt does The Princess of Staten Island have on her opponent? Could Carmella turn the tides of this rivalry before their huge title match in Chicago? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
She's gonna show everyone her gravure videos
announcer / commentator fail
We should have a thread for discussing moments when announcers and commentators calling the matches say dumb shit that makes no sense.
I'll get the ball rolling for this one. Jeff Cobb is doing a stalled inverted hold before suplexing a guy (classic move, to disorient them so they aren't prepared to take the suplex) and announcer asks Cobb's upcoming opponent ROH Champ Matt Taven if he's prepared for that.
Taven makes a logical response: he trains on an inversion table for long periods, so this doesn't bother him.
Announcer then says "I don't think an inversion table is any match for a man with this strength"
Segway made no sense: Cobb isn't wrestling an inversion table, Cobb isn't lifting an inversion table. It's merely a training device used to get used to a stressful position.
This would be like if you asked a wrestler "could you lift this guy off your chest with your arms? He weighs 300 pounds!" and you respond "I bench a 400 pound barbell" and announcer says "I DONT THINK A BARBELL IS A MATCH FOR A MAN OF THIS STRENGTH"
This guy should be retired, get some ex-wrestlers to replace him, they tend to call matches much better and deserve the spot more.
WWE June 2019 Megathread:Summertime edition
Heyman announces Lesnar will cash in on Rollins this Monday
>After Brock Lesnar learned about the one-year clause in the Money in the Bank contract, the question on everyone’s mind was when The Beast would make his move. Now, Paul Heyman has put the matter to rest: It’s happening this week, and it’s happening against Universal Champion Seth Rollins.
>Following the McMahon family’s opening of an executive review to determine Lesnar’s punishment for “disrespecting” the Money in the Bank contract, Paul Heyman went on the offensive, declaring that his client would take a proactive rather than reactive strategy and would cash in on Rollins this Monday.
https://twitter.com/HeymanHustle/status/1134535304390545411
>There is still some suspense at play here. Heyman did not specify when The Beast would be cashing in, only that it would occur between the hours of 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET, "at a time of [Lesnar's] choosing." Still, that doesn't mean the title is Brock's for the taking. Rollins is one of the only men to crack the code of defeating Lesnar, and with the champion at least having some specifics to work with, his chances of a repeat are higher than Heyman and Lesnar are likely willing to admit.
Not dead yet
>WWE Super ShowDown will play host to a first-ever battle between The Undertaker and Goldberg, but both Superstars have been conspicuously absent since the match was announced. That’s fixing to change this Monday when The Last Outlaw rears his head on Raw just days before the bout. What he’s going to say is anybody’s guess, but tuning in will be essential to anybody wondering what’s on The Phenom’s mind … and, of course, whether he ends up having some unannounced company …
Roman Reigns to team with The Usos to battle Drew McIntyre & The Revival
>Roman Reigns’ rivalry with Drew McIntyre has fumed ever since WrestleMania 35, while The Usos and The Revival are just getting started. This Monday night on Raw, the two grudges will collide in a Six-Man Tag Team Match that pits Reigns and his twin cousins against McIntyre and the cocky “Top Guys,” who are already one-up on The Usos following a victory two weeks ago. Which team will walk out of Raw with bragging rights?
These colors don’t run
>Last week’s Raw brought with it the grim news that the injured Rey Mysterio will be forced to surrender the United States Championship, as a separated shoulder will prevent him from defending it. Samoa Joe, understandably, is licking his chops and for a very specific reason: The Samoan Submission Machine has already announced he’ll be waiting for Mysterio’s abdication to take back what he bolieves is rightfully his following a controversial loss at WWE Money in the Bank.
Ladies first
>Lacey Evans cast aside her partnership of convenience with Charlotte Flair on SmackDown LIVE when she got into a post-match brawl with The Queen, though that could end up being a bit of a double-edged sword for The Sassy Southern Belle. On one hand, now she has Raw Women’s Champion Stone Cold all to herself and as good of an opportunity as she’ll ever have to relieve The Man of her last remaining title. On the other hand, Evans now has no backup against The Irish Lass Kicker, and with Lynch having formed something of an alliance with Nikki Cross, that could leave Lacey down a man — so to speak — as she makes her move. Time will tell if her strategy pays off or if Evans has made a grave tactical error.

Absolute state of zack ryder and guys like him
Are guys like zack ryder, tyler breeze or revival the ultimate cucks? They think so highly of themselves and at the same time beg for chances like "g-guys were good wrestlers, just wait till our turn comes…" while they perfectly know their time will never come. Why do they stay in the company, isn't betting on yourself and your own improvement more important than just getting a paycheck? Ryder should have left after vince sabotaged his popularity but he has no balls, a true cuck.
Revival will keep whining and pleading to watch their matches on fucking main event. Breeze is "just happy to be there :)".
People like them get nothing and deserve nothing. I feel it was a rib at them when they wrote that "fuck all these complacent superstarts who are just happy with what they get and never reach out for more" promos for Drew who is epitome of going away from wwe and improving so hard they want him back, protect him really hard and even considered putting him in that crown jewel UC match to make it triple threat (rumor via swole jew iirc). Even if he doesnt get into the match he's basically only guy who's bitchslapping braun strowman on weekly basis now.
You HAVE to be a literal cuck to do shit like this
Was this to punish us for the leaked Eddie theme?
Seriously, this Uncaged release is dogshit.
12 tracks instead of the usual 16, and two of those are brand new which goes against the whole point of the Uncaged albums. Malenko's theme hasn't been remastered, Lesnar's first theme is an earlier version than the one they used in the ring, Ringmaster's theme is a shitty remake because they lost the original, Nash and Masters' themes can be and probably have been ripped from the PS2 games long ago and who the fuck wanted Droz's or Essa Rios' themes?
The only things of worth on the whole album is the DX 2000 theme, Lex Luger's 1993 theme with the failed "Made in the USA" gimmick that only started because Hogan's departure left a noticeable void in the roster, and HHH's jobber theme when he was a part of The Corporation. Everything else is unwanted trash.
Write what you want to see for Uncaged V onwards ITT please.

Teegee Wu Joshi Pro Wrestling
So following up on previous posts on /tg/'s gamefinder and /wooo/'s board activity. I'm looking for a few brave souls to play pretend wrestling with. The end game hopefully producing something that is replay worthy. All signs point to a text based game here (or if we get chased off to /quests/) and really I'm looking for the creative/booking/angle ideas as much as individual OC wrestlers.
>>>/tg/416559
We're still in the planning phase at this point. We basically need two things at this point. The very initial promotion details and the RPG we plan on using. We have a couple of options for the rpg side of these exchanges. At this point I'm taking the GM's role (both in game and out of game) but I am open to suggestions on the RPG front (it's important we get a system everyone is comfortable with because you will have to use it resolve in-ring action at least maybe more depending on the system.
>The Promotion
We're a Joshi Wrestling Promo out of Japan on the smallest of the small scale. This means a lot of local halls/festivals/Bingo/lack of anything besides a ring, girls and a PA really. We need about 18-20 Joshi's (maybe less) and a promotion name. At the moment I'm planning on each player to be running 3-4 Joshi's each. In addition we could use an announcer/helper per player (or you can reuse a Joshi).
>The System.
I'm looking for something that's fast and light and we have a couple of options. I'll list them here (books I can actually send out if needed). I know there will be a few I miss because they are not in my personal collection. if someone else can provide them, please do so. So the contenders:
>World Wide Wrestling, a genre savy and system light take on the wrestling industry.
<Pros: Light system, easy to learn, very clear about outcomes and models some of the "backstage" of wrestling, getting over, getting heat , etc.
>Cons: Apocalypse World Engine, Pretend Simulationists/Actually Gamist gameplay.
>Squared Circle Wrestling, a made with love d20 conversion
<Pros: Fairly well defined system, obviously made by a fan
>Cons: Levels, obviously made by a d20 fan
>Know your Role, The Branded OGL D20 conversion
<Pros: Announced by Jim Ross and examples people actually know, d20 system
>Cons: Levels, d20 system.
and some oddball choices
>Maid (or in the original weeb Maido), a silly anime harem based game
<Pros: Lots of tables and uniform options
>Cons: The Joshi harem fighting for the audience (I mean masters) attention might be a touch on the nose
>OVA, an anime simulation engine
<Pros: Light, easy to understand game that aim's to generate "Tv worthy" content right out of the gate
<Cons: No wrestling support/awareness. Would be easy to modify but it very much would require people "colouring within the Joshi lines" to really shine.
A certain amount of name/avatar fagging is going to be inevitable with this and if this is against board rules, I am asking for a one thread exception. At this point lets throw some creative promotion ideas, talk system a little and possibly begin throwing around gimmick ideas.
New Japan thread till an anon makes a thread about road to dontaku
Here's some news:
"Hiroshi Tanahashi has suffered an injury to his left elbow, and will not be participating in the Road to Wrestling Dontaku Tour (beginning April 13) or Wrestling Dontaku itself (May 3-4), it was announced today.

WWE April 2019 Megathread:Wrestlemania edition
RAW on April Fools Day
Can WrestleMania’s main-event Superstars coexist against The riotttttttttttttttttt Squad?
>The journey to the main event of this year’s WrestleMania main event has grown increasingly complicated in recent weeks, and it hits another sharp turn on Monday night when Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey teams with Stone Cold and new SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair to battle The riotttttttttttttttttt Squad in a six-woman tag team bout. If Rousey, Lynch or Flair betray either of their teammates, they will be removed from the Raw Women’s Title main event of this year’s Show of Shows.
>And, yes, you read that right. The Queen defeated Asuka this past Tuesday night to snare the Women’s Title of Team Blue, meaning that she could very well hold two championships when WrestleMania draws to a close. Of course, that match could change drastically — and lose a participant — on Raw.
>With tensions running high, Becky, Ronda and Charlotte will be hard-pressed to work as a team and secure their place in the first-ever Women’s main event of WrestleMania.
Kurt Angle battles Rey Mysterio in his final Raw match
>Two Superstars credited with putting SmackDown on the map in the early 2000s will battle it out one last time, strangely enough, on Monday Night Raw as Kurt Angle faces Rey Mysterio in the final Raw match of his farewell tour.
>The Olympic Hero and The Ultimate Underdog have mixed it up numerous times in the past — including a memorable clash at SummerSlam 2002 — but their final match together on Raw could eclipse their prior confrontations in terms of sheer emotion.
>This will mark Angle’s penultimate match, as he will compete in the ring for one last time against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania. As Angle battles his longtime friend, the bitter Lone Wolf will surely be watching.
Brock Lesnar comes to Raw to extinguish Seth Rollins’ fire
>Seth Rollins laid out Paul Heyman this past Monday night, and he didn’t even need to touch him.
>After the advocate for Universal Champion Brock Lesnar delivered what he thought was a verbal parting shot to “The Beastslayer,” Rollins stormed up the entrance ramp after Heyman, who fell backward in shock and proceeded to beg for mercy from his client’s WrestleMania challenger. With fire in his eyes and the WWE Universe at his back, Rollins affirmed, “We are going to WrestleMania, we are gonna beat Brock Lesnar, we are gonna take the Universal Title and we are gonna march into Suplex City and we are gonna burn it down!”
>How will Lesnar respond to the increasingly emboldened Architect, six nights before their WrestleMania showdown?
Will The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection regret taking on three teams at WrestleMania?
>WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Booley & Sasha Banks are warriors, determined to take on any challenger from any brand. But at WrestleMania, The booable one and The Boss have agreed to defend their titles against three powerful teams in Nia Jax & Tamina, Beth Phoenix & Natalya and The IIconics.
>With “The Samoan Slaughterhouse” and the newly reunited “Divas of Doom” representing imposing physical challenges for The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection, the conniving (and rule-bending) Billie Kay & Peyton Royce represent a psychological obstacle for Booley & Sasha Banks. After all, no one enjoys getting inside the head or under the skin of their opponents quite like The IIconics.
>How are Booley & Sasha Banks preparing for the Fatal 4-Way Match they’ve brought upon themselves?
Who will join the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal?
>OK, so given the choice between Braun Strowman, Colin Jost and Michael Che, it’s easy to pick the odds-on favorite in this year’s Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania (hint: he’s seven-feet-tall and he BREAKs things). But with only three names officially confirmed for the over-the-top-rope Show of Shows tradition, additional Superstars will surely be added to the field.
>Who else will declare for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal? Find out by tuning in to Monday Night Raw
Will Roman Reigns attain retribution against Drew McIntyre before WrestleMania?
>Roman Reigns’ acceptance of Drew McIntyre’s WrestleMania challenge this past Monday night was met with a savage attack by The Scottish Psychopath, who later battled The [LOUD LEUKEMIA]’s Shield brother Dean Ambrose in a Last Man Standing Match.
>Taking particular glee in pummeling The Hounds of Justice, McIntyre dismantled and defeated The Lunatic Fringe, sending a horrific message to his Show of Shows opponent.
>How will Reigns respond on the final Raw before WrestleMania? Tune in to Monday Night Raw
Lana posts sextape on Snapchat
Surprised no one's talking about this yet. Lana "CJ Perry" posts a vid to Snapchat of some mystery woman (who sounds a lot like her) getting plowed by some needle dicked fucker while putting a vibrator to her twat.

What the even actual fuck is going on here? I remember there being rumors a few weeks ago of a couple Lana sextapes circulating that were about to leak. Is this the first salvo?

could Mike Mizanin or Sergeant Slaughter be the father of any of Ivanka Trump's children?
Miz or Slaughter, Ivanka's baby daddy?
Was reviewing pics of Trump's HOF inaugeration, noticed some of Ivanka standing up, was curious who was around her and looking her way. Noticed Miz doing it in 2 pics, and in one of them also Sgt. Slaughter nearby. This was 6 April 2013. Ivanka married Jared Kusner in 2009 and they had a daughter in 2011, but then didn't have kids again until sons in October 2013 (six months after HOF ceremony) and March 2016.
You can also see Cena and Jericho avidly watching her when she gets up and faces everyone, and shots of their face show they are beaming widely (as is Miz, to their right) along with Jack Swagger and HHH to their left. Unfortunately could not find a clear shot of Swagger watching Ivanka, Hunter's big head is in the way. Swagger's MMA debut victory against JW Kiser and support for Trump makes me interested in the possibility he and Ivanka might have shared glances (or more) in 2013. Let's keep in mind he was headlining WrestleMania against ADR and BROKE Ricardo Rodriguez' ankle, which probably would've got Ivanka wet-as-fuck. I mean sure, it ended up being Ziggler who won the day, but who's to say they didn't hook up prior to that? Ivanka wouldn't know how the day would end.
I'm not saying ALL of Ivanka's children are sired by professional wrestlers, but could at least one of them be? If so, who is the prime candidate?

Wrestlemanias of the decade
So WM35 was the last one of the decade, and it's been a rather shit decade, I think only one or two of them were decently good, none were really 'great', say like WM20-24. Man RA era had the best Manias. Anyway thoughts on each of them?
>WM26
To me, the last decently good Mania, though mostly carried by the main event: HBK vs Taker which easily is one of WWE's matches of the decade. Can't really remember much else from it, looking at the card again and nothing much stands out aside from Legacy triple threat, Jericho vs Edge and Cena vs Batista, all were decent I guess.
>WM27
Man this was a shit one and was the beginning of the end for me in my belief in WWE. Notably, was Edge's last match, which was a decent one against Del Rio who won the 40 man Rumble to appear in the FIRST match of Mania, some main event huh? Funny that Rollins this year did the same thing now. Cody vs Mysterio was ok, too bad Cody got buried later the year. Cole beating Lawler is still one of the most bullshit things in WWE history. MOTN was HHH vs Undertaker for me, a 4/10 according to bret hart but a great match for me. The main event of Miz vs Cena was shit, Amazing to see that Miz has improved a lot since then, if he main evented WM as he is now, would be more believable than back then I suppose. Anyway it was just a lame setup for Rock vs Cena next year
>WM28
Pretty lame one and the HIAC match with Taker vs HHH was great, another WWE Match of the decade contender for me. CM Punk vs Jericho was alright. The Rock vs Cena was overhyped and sucked but good that Rock won, too bad it led to twice in a lifetime in WM29. However I stopped watching WWE later that year, got too shit for me, interesting because that era was still better than today's trash.
Skipped Wrestlemanias 29, 30 and 31. WM29, seems like Punk vs Taker was the only good match. WM30, year of the YES movement. WM31, everywhere else I see people praise it as a great Mania but here on /wooo/ I hear it was shit, anyway whatever. Also WM31 began the Romanmania arc
>WM32
The year I came back into wrestling, and I get gifted with one of the shittiest Manias ever! Thanks Vince. Zack winning the IC title was the most memorable thing about it. There were some decent moments but all overshadowed with the fact that all the wrong people won. Skipped the main event because it got too late and wasn't interested in watching RomanWinsLol. MOTN was Styles vs Jericho for me.
>WM33
The card looked shit but each match started to win me over, and it peaked with the return of The Hardy Boyz. Too bad everything after that point was shit. Roman vs Taker was terrible, though the emotion at the end with Taker was sure something. Too bad the old biker boomer threw it all out and returned the next year. MOTN was the ladder match with the hardys, styles vs shane was good too
>WM34
It was really hated but I thought it was kinda ok but had questionable booking with some wrong people winning. MOTN was Asuka vs Charlotte.
>WM35
Average, but average is decent in this shitty era. AJ, Kofi, Becky, Seth won and amazing how that simple fact of decent booking made it better than recent Manias. MOTN was Miz vs Shane, Bryan vs Kofi was great too.
That's it, your thoughts?

WWE March 2019 Megathread:Batista's Back edition
Time for Fastlane baby!
Animalistic aggression
>After seemingly trying to goad Triple H into a physical confrontation on SmackDown 1000 last year, Batista provoked The Game once more this past Monday night by crashing Ric Flair’s 70th birthday, attacking “The Nature Boy” in his locker room and dragging Flair — Triple H’s mentor — out into the arena hallway.
>The Cerebral Assassin rushed backstage to confront The Animal, but Batista had already left the scene. The Game isn’t known for letting transgressions slide, so how will he deal with the actions of his former friend on Raw?
What is the status of the Raw Women’s Championship?
>In addition to addressing the horrific actions of Batista, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have another situation escalating in the Raw Women’s division. After Stone Cold was arrested for violating her suspension this past Monday night, Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey urged Stephanie to allow The Man to challenge for the title at WrestleMania. The Chief Brand Officer then reiterated that Lynch would not be competing at The Show of Shows, and that The Baddest Woman on the Planet would defend her title against SmackDown LIVE’s Charlotte Flair as scheduled.
>Given the McMahon family’s refusal to budge on the Lynch situation, Rousey laid the title down in front of Stephanie and left it there, leaving many to wonder if The Rowdy One would carry the championship to WrestleMania at all.
>Meanwhile, Charlotte announced on SmackDown LIVE this week that she would come to Raw to be crowned Raw Women’s Champion by Mr. McMahon. Will The Queen claim the throne on Team Red?
Is a Shield reunion on the horizon?
>After revealing to the WWE Universe that his leukemia is in remission, Roman Reigns joined Seth Rollins in helping Dean Ambrose repel a 4-on-1 beatdown at the hands of Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Elias and Baron Corbin. The act of salvation confused The Lunatic Fringe just as much as it did the WWE Universe given Ambrose’s betrayal of The Shield last October — the same night The [LOUD LEUKEMIA] disclosed that his leukemia had returned.
>Were Reigns and Rollins hinting that they’re ready to forgive Ambrose, or were The Hounds of Justice simply living up to their name given the unfair circumstances?
Intercontinental and Extraordinary
>After Lio Rush inadvertently challenged Finn Bálor to an Intercontinental Championship Match and lost this past Monday night, Bobby Lashley was furious with his hype man for getting the title opportunity that he was supposed to arrange for “The All Mighty One.” The Man of the Hour affirmed to Lashley that he could still be trusted. Will Rush get Lashley another opportunity, or will another Superstar step to the Intercontinental Irishman?

New year, same queers edition
John Cena returns to kick off 2019
>What better way to kick off the new year than with John Cena?
>One of “Mr. McMahon-ta Claus’s” gifts to the WWE Universe on the Christmas Eve edition of Raw was the return of the 16-time World Champion, to both the red and blue brands. Cena’s first appearance will come on the New Year’s Day edition of SmackDown LIVE.

>There’s sure to be plenty of pancakes at The New Day’s New Year Celebration, but what else will Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods & Big E have planned for the WWE Universe?
What will be the fallout of AJ Styles’ attack of Mr. McMahon?
>On Christmas night, Mr. McMahon demanded to see the animal inside AJ Styles, wanting to know who the “real” AJ Styels is. Mr. McMahon went so far as to slap The Phenomenal One after questioning why Styles was letting others compete in the house he built.
>The WWE Chairman got his wish, as Styles floored Mr. McMahon with a right hand before letting out a primal rage. As officials checked on him, Mr. McMahon said he was OK, as a smile crept across his face.
>Why did Mr. McMahon choose to enrage AJ Styles? Will there be any fallout for The Phenomenal One’s attack on the WWE Chairman?
What’s next for The Miz & Shane McMahon?
>The Miz made an impassioned plea to Shane McMahon on a Christmas night edition of “Miz TV,” one last time asking Shane-O-Mac to join forces with him to be come “the best tag team in the world.”
>The A-Lister’s passionate speech apparently connected with Shane, as he agreed to team up with Miz, though he gave him one warning: “You better not screw me, or there’s going to be major consequences.”
>Now that the “co-besties” are officially teaming up, what’s next for this brand-new tag team?

WWE February 2018 Megathread: cringe edition
WWE Raw preview, Feb. 4, 2019: Who will be the final Raw duo in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Match?
Live on Raw, The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection will battle the unpredictable tandem of Alicia Fox & Nikki Cross for the right to battle inside the Elimination Chamber for the all-new WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship.
>Kurt Angle will address his future with WWE
Following Kurt Angle’s crushing loss last week to Baron Corbin — the very man who cost The Olympic Hero his Raw General Manager role — the WWE Hall of Famer will address his future in WWE on Raw.
It is unclear at this time just what Angle will be announcing, but you won’t want to miss whatever the four-time WWE Champion has to say.
>Sasha Banks & Booley face Alicia Fox & Nikki Cross in final Raw WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection have long dreamed of becoming tandem champions in WWE, and their journey toward that goal officially begins on Raw when they face the unpredictable alliance of Alicia Fox & Nikki Cross in a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match.
The winning duo of this match will join Raw’s teams of Nia Jax & Tamina and Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan and SmackDown LIVE’s IIconics — along with two other blue brand teams yet to be determined — inside the formidable Elimination Chamber structure in a clash to determine the first-ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
>Does Seth Rollins regret his decision to choose Universal Champion Brock Lesnar as his WrestleMania opponent?
By inciting a brawl with Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at the end of this past Monday night’s Raw, Men’s Royal Rumble Match winner Seth Rollins made it clear who he will be challenging at WrestleMania. However, that gutsy move earned The Architect six F-5s — a savage preview of what now awaits The Kingslayer at The Show of Shows.
Rollins is as resilient as they come — he even continued to goad The Beast during the F-5 onslaught — but has The Architect chosen the path of most resistance on The Road to WrestleMania?
<Has Stone Cold gotten inside Ronda Rousey’s head?
One night after winning the 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match, Stone Cold made a surprise appearance on Raw to confront Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and announce that she had chosen “Ronnie” as her WrestleMania opponent. Furthermore, she vowed to BREAK Rousey’s “mystique” and take her title in front of the entire world. In response, the incensed Rowdy One promised to “own” The Man at WrestleMania. But as fired-up as Rousey got, Lynch kept her cool — even smirking — in the face of one of the most dangerous women in the history of combat sports.
Now, The Irish Lass Kicker might not be 100 percent after injuring her left knee during the Women’s Royal Rumble Match, but one might argue that she’s garnering a psychological edge over Rousey.
>Will Braun Strowman get payback against Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin?
Two of the men responsible for putting Braun Strowman on the shelf overpowered The Monster Among Men once again this past Monday night. As Strowman battled Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin ambushed the behemoth, joining The Scottish Psychopath in a vicious assault that culminated in a double chokeslam onto the steel steps.
It’s now a matter of when — not if — both of these nefarious Superstars “Get These Hands.”

United States Champion Rusev defends his title against Shinsuke Nakamura at Royal Rumble, Sunday Jan. 27 at 7 ET/4 PT on WWE Network.
Who's next?
Which wrestler(s) do you think is going to join the HWF at the Pearly Gates this year?
>Ric Flair
That heart scare took a lot out of him, he's practically a walking corpse now.
>Perry Saturn
The guy's an absolute mess and were it not for the face tattoo, I would never have recognized him in his latest videos. He looks like he's in the terminal stages of full-blown AIDS.
>Bruno Sammartino
He's the current Jack Lalanne, but one day his body will give up, and at the age of 82 that day seems fairly close.
WWE Comic Thred #3
New thread for a new nightmare. Old one takes too long to load now and why not have a clean BREAK. It's over here if you want to see (most of) The Shield arc and other nonsense >>58119
Issue #14, the start of the new arc where we get to see how Stephanie invented women's wrestling. Isn't that great news! I want to die. Better yet it looks like we're going to be concentrating on Booley for the time being and how much of a geek she is.
On a side note, why the hell is tennis mentioned? It's been a big women's sport for decades.
UNJUSTENING STREAM

BANNER THREAD
>why don't we have banner thread f-fucking mods
>n-no I w-won't make the thread I want myself
Come on NERDs, let's get some new banners added to the rotation.

gif.
4. Banners must be exactly 300px wide and 100px high.

WWE Megathread - December
Christmas comes early Edition
Corbin closes in on General Manager position
>Channeling his inner Thanos, “General Manager-Elect” Baron Corbin seems determined to reduce half the Raw roster to dust under his authoritative rule. With the aid of Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre this past Monday night, Corbin masterminded the obliteration of Elias and the brutalizing of Finn Bálor, all while relishing the fact that Braun Strowman was undergoing elbow surgery to repair the damage he and his henchmen inflicted one week prior.
>Refusing to cancel his scheduled Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match against The Monster Among Men — who is medically unable to compete — Corbin aims to win the match via forfeit and, per the match stipulation, become permanent General Manager of Team Red.
>With Commissioner Stephanie McMahon seemingly allowing The Lone Wolf to do as he pleases, how will Corbin take advantage of his nigh limitless power this week?
Inoculated Ambrose promises he’ll be at Raw
>After receiving a series of vaccinations to protect him from the “diseases” of the WWE Universe, Dean Ambrose has affirmed he will be at Monday Night Raw in Houston, two weeks before battling former Shield brother Seth Rollins for the Intercontinental Championship at WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs.
>When The Lunatic Fringe actually appears, The Kingslayer will be ready with some medicine of his own for his onetime ally.
The Goddess’ new gig
>Following Alexa Bliss’ successful tenure as Captain of the Raw Women’s Survivor Series Team, Raw “General Manager-Elect” Baron Corbin put Little Miss Bliss in charge of the Women’s division — a role she’s clearly relishing.
>After luring Sasha Banks and Booley into a confrontational in-ring Q&A session, Bliss looked on as Alicia Fox, Dana Brooke and Mickie James ambushed The Boss ‘N’ Hug Connection. Even though The Boss and The booable one repelled the attack, Alexa set the tone for what to expect under her watch.
Rousey teams with The Queen of Harts to face Nia Jax and Tamina
>One week after Nia Jax and Tamina set a riotttttttttt Squad trap for Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey and Natalya, The Baddest Woman on the Planet teams up with The Queen of Harts to battle The Irresistible Force and her imposing enforcer in tag team action on Raw in Houston.
>Who will gain key momentum less than two weeks before Rousey defends her title against Jax at WWE TLC?
>Don't miss any of the action on Monday Night Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network!

WWE Champion Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles
>At WWE TLC, get ready for the highly-anticipated rematch that will pit newly crowned WWE Champion Daniel Bryan against the Superstar he stole the title from, AJ Styles.
Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose
>At WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs 2018, former brothers-in-arms will finally clash when Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins battles Dean Ambrose.
Braun Strowman vs. Baron Corbin (Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match)
>Though Braun Strowman has been sidelined with an injury, Baron Corbin has made it clear that their match at WWE TLC will go on as planned. According to Corbin, he will become the Permanent General Manager of Monday Night Raw if and when The Monster Among Men is not medically cleared to compete.
Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Nia Jax
>There is truly no rest for the rowdy. For at WWE TLC, Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey will aim to defend her coveted title against the mighty Nia Jax.

WWE Megathread - November
To Dismember Edition
The Monster Among Men on the warpath
>Before the Universal Championship Match at WWE Crown Jewel got underway, Baron Corbin drilled Braun Strowman in the back with the title, giving Brock Lesnar the early advantage. With a relentless succession of F-5s, The Beast Incarnate kept The Monster Among Men down for the three-count, becoming WWE’s first two-time Universal Champion.
>Corbin had best keep his distance on Raw: Strowman will be looking for him to “Get These Hands.”
Ronda Rousey to respond to Stone Cold's Survivor Series promise to rip her arm off
>Raw is preparing to go head-to-head with SmackDown at Survivor Series in Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 16, and we already know that Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and WWE Champion AJ Styles will square off, Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey will face SmackDown Women’s Champion Stone Cold, while Raw’s Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins will clash with Team Blue’s United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura at WWE’s annual fall classic.
>As the WWE Universe wait to see what other blockbuster matches await at the fall classic, WWE.com has learned that Rousey will speak to Lynch's promise that she will rip her opponent's arm off. What The Baddest Women on the Planet respond?
Natalya, Sasha Banks & Booley to battle The riotttttttttt Squad in an WWE Evolution rematch
>Two nights in a row this past week, The riotttttttttt Squad tasted bitter defeat. First, the tumultuous trio fell to Natalya, Sasha Banks & Booley in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match at WWE Evolution. Then, teaming with Alicia Fox & Mickie James, they lost again to a five-woman squad comprised of their Evolution foes and WWE Hall of Famers Trish Stratus & Lita.
>Ruby riotttttttttt, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan don’t take losing lightly, and they’ll surely be out for payback on Raw in Manchester, England. Find out if they get it when they battle The Queen of Harts, The Boss and WWE's favorite huggable Superstar in an Evolution rematch tonight.
Rollins and Ambrose are still Raw Tag Team Champions
>Seth Rollins has vowed to make Dean Ambrose’s life a “living hell” after he refused to explain his shocking Oct. 22 betrayal. Further complicating the issue is the fact that The Kingslayer and The Lunatic Fringe are the current co-holders of the Raw Tag Team Titles.
>Since it seems unlikely that Rollins and Ambrose will function as a unit at any point in the near future — or ever again — what does the future hold for Team Red’s tandem championship?
Will Nia Jax and Tamina cross paths once more?
>As Nia Jax battled Ember Moon this past Monday night, Tamina mysteriously entered the arena, causing a distraction that helped The Irresistible Force dominate and defeat The Shenom with a leg drop. Following the match, Nia and Tamina had a tense staredown, leaving the WWE Universe wondering whether Nia has gained an ally or an enemy in the formidable second-generation Superstar. Will they come face-to-face this week?
>Don’t miss any of the action on Raw, beginning at 8/7 C on USA Network.
Survivor Series 2018
Hide your kids Edition
Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. WWE Champion Daniel Bryan
>The Beast is about to go one-on-one with Daniel Bryan in an epic Champion vs. Champion clash on the one night of the year where Raw and SmackDown go head-to-head to determine ultimate brand supremacy, Survivor Series.
>At WWE Crown Jewel, Brock Lesnar once again laid claim to the Universal Championship in controversial fashion, using a pre-match sneak attack by Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin to lay waste to Braun Strowman. On the same night, The Phenomenal One overcame his long-standing adversary Samoa Joe to keep the WWE Title around his waist. However, while a Survivor Series rematch between Lesnar and Styles was originally announced, an intense altercation between The Champ That Runs the Camp and WWE’s “Yes!” Man on the Nov. 13 edition of SmackDown LIVE led to an impromptu WWE Title Match. And when Bryan emerged victorious over Styles to become the new titleholder in the classic showdown, The Beard also won the right to face The Conqueror this Sunday!
>Now, the fates have conspired and set these two dynamic athletes on a collision course. What will happen when Lesnar goes to battle against Bryan in WWE’s fall classic? Find out at Survivor Series this Sunday at 7 ET/4 PT, streaming live on the award-winning WWE Network!
Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair
>The Baddest Woman on the Planet is about to square off against The Queen when Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey goes to war against Charlotte Flair at Survivor Series.
>Originally, Rousey was slated to slug it out with SmackDown Women’s Champion Stone Cold, but plans changed when The Irish Lass Kicker suffered a BROKEN face and severe concussion during the blue brand’s surprise assault on Monday Night Raw, and she wasn’t medically cleared to compete. The Man herself emerged before the WWE Universe to pick her replacement, and she chose her bitter rival, Charlotte Flair.
>Now, the two forces of nature will join the battle for brand supremacy in a highly personal showdown. Find out which competitor claims a monumental victory for her brand on the one night of the year where Raw and SmackDown LIVE Superstars compete in head-to-head competition. Don’t miss Survivor Series, Sunday, Nov. 18, streaming live on the award-winning WWE Network.
Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins vs. United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura
>Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins faces off against United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in what promises to be an instant classic at Survivor Series, the one night a year when Raw and SmackDown LIVE compete in head-to-head competition.
>Not only will this mark the first encounter between The Kingslayer and The King of Strong Style, but the battle will also determine which brand and which champion truly reign supreme. Since recapturing the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam, Seth Rollins has been hellbent on restoring the prestige behind the “workhorse title.” Over on the blue brand, Nakamura has been busy ushering in a new era for the prestigious star-spangled title.
>Although each champion represents the best of the best on his brand, who reps their brand the strongest? Find out when this Champion vs. Champion non-title bout goes down at Survivor Series, Sunday, Nov. 18, at 7 ET/4 PT, streaming live on the award-winning WWE Network.
Women’s 5-on-5 Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match
>As a crucial part of Raw and SmackDown’s battle for brand supremacy at Survivor Series, the 5-on-5 Women’s Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match promises to be an explosive encounter.
>In a bold move, Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin has chosen five-time Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss as the captain of Team Red. The following week, The Goddess of WWE chose her team: Natalya, Mickie James, Nia Jax, Tamina and Ruby riotttttttttt.
>As far as SmackDown LIVE’s combatants, General Manager Paige announced that Team Blue would be represented by Asuka, Carmella, Naomi and Sonya Deville. But, with Charlotte Flair now set to face Raw Women's Champion Ronda Rousey, who will be the fifth member of Team Blue SmackDown LIVE this Sunday? Which team will triumph at WWE’s fall classic?

Why was the late 90s so great for entertainment media?
What drove people to just create quality creative content, it makes most things nowadays feel fucking stale in comparison, even what was mediocre back then feels decent now.
WWE Stock
I just bought WWE stock for the first time. Figured it was as good a time as any. Seems like there is a resurgence in its popularity, maybe not as high of morale as it was in the late 90s but it feels hot right now. Plus it is a monopoly, they have the network, deal with Fox for years to come, branching out to other countries.
What do you guys think?
WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabi
Kinda want to discuss WWE going ahead with the Crown Jewel PPV, but without diving too deep into /pol/ territory.
I think this is Vince swinging his dick real hard at the government and seeing if they're gonna flinch. He's rich, his wife was appointed a government position by Trump and he wants that Saudi money bad and doesn't give one flying fuck what the government or anyone says about it. This was the guy that made XFL and he's very capable of having an ego big enough to take on Uncle Sam. For fucks sake their women's division is a giant fucking contradiction to them going but Vince wants that money.

RAW: Unsafe Workers Edition
The Rowdy One takes on Ruby riotttttttttt
>Just five days before Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey teams with The Bella Twins to face The riotttttttttt Squad at WWE Super Show-Down, The Rowdy One will go one-on-one with the opposing trio’s leader, live on Raw in Seattle.
>This past Monday night, The riotttttttttt Squad conquered Nikki, Brie and Ronda’s best friend Natalya in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match, giving the group some key momentum heading into the anticipated clash in Melbourne, Australia. Can The Baddest Woman on the Planet attain a measure of retribution against riotttttttttt on Raw?
Shawn Michaels heads to final Raw before WWE Super Show-Down
>Sensing that Shawn Michaels will insert himself into his final battle against Triple H at WWE Super Show-Down, The Undertaker enlisted his brother Kane to watch his back in Melbourne, Australia and keep HBK at bay.
>As the longstanding rivalry between The Game and The Phenom continues to intensify, Michaels drops in on the final Raw before WWE Super Show-Down and will no doubt have much to say about his best friend’s last dance with The Deadman.
>Will The Showstopper further provoke The Undertaker (and perhaps his brother) before heading Down Under?
Bobby Lashley gets his hands on Kevin Owens before WWE Super Show-Down
>One week after Bobby Lashley’s match against Elias ended in chaos thanks to Kevin Owens’ furious pursuit of the outspoken Lio Rush — putting KO on a literal collision course with the powerhouse — Lashley will square off with Owens on Raw in Seattle. Moments after Owens got The Living Truth disqualified, Lashley saved Rush from a 2-on-1 attack by KO and Elias, both of whom fled the ring to evade the dominant Superstar’s wrath.
>With The Man of the Hour by his side, will Lashley get some retribution against the former Universal Champion when they collide on Raw, five days before Lashley teams with John Cena to take on Owens and Elias in tag team action at WWE Super Show-Down?
The Shield stand united despite Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre’s mind games
>Despite the manipulative efforts of Braun Strowman and Raw Tag Team Champions Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre, Dean Ambrose’s Shield brotherhood with Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins has never been stronger, as evidenced by their decisive victory over Acting Raw General Manager Baron Corbin & AOP in this past Monday night’s main event.
>With their Six-Man Tag Team Match against The Hounds of Justice at WWE Super Show-Down fast approaching, will The Monster Among Men, The Showoff and The Scottish Terminator double their efforts to shatter The Shield?
>Don’t miss any of the action on Monday Night Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network!

HISTORIC TRAILBLAZING Edition
Toni Storm vs. Io Shirai (Mae Young Classic 2018 Finals)
>After eight weeks of intense action featuring 32 of the world’s top female wrestlers, the 2018 Mae Young Classic has come down to two competitors.
>Australia’s Toni Storm will battle Japan’s Io Shirai in the tournament Finals this Sunday at WWE Evolution, the first-ever all-women’s pay-per-view, which streams live, exclusively on the award-winning WWE Network.
>In making it to this point, Storm and Shirai have exhibited tremendous heart and determination, as well as demonstrated their considerable firepower. The Lightning Down Under, who advanced to the Semifinals in last year’s tournament, earned her berth with victories over Jinny, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Mia Yim and the iconic Meiko Satomura. The Genius of the Sky, meanwhile, triumphed over Xia Brookside, Zeuxis and Deonna Purrazzo before besting the vicious Rhea Ripley.
>With those tough battles behind them, Storm and Shirai now prepare to meet head-on. Will Storm’s hard-hitting offense, highlighted by her ferocious Storm Zero Tiger Driver, spell victory for the popular Aussie? Or can The Genius of the Sky, whose signing with WWE made headlines around the globe this past summer, follow in the footsteps of her good friend Kairi Sane and take home the Mae Young Classic trophy?
>See for yourself when history is made at WWE Evolution, streaming live this Sunday at 7 ET/4 PT, exclusively on WWE Network!
NXT Women’s Champion Kairi Sane vs. Shayna Baszler
>One classic rivalry has already been renewed for WWE Evolution. Now, it has been confirmed the groundBREAKing all-women’s pay-per-view will host another.
>NXT Women’s Champion Kairi Sane and Shayna Baszler will once again turn up the heat within their scorching rivalry on Sunday, Oct. 28, as they go toe-to-toe with the top prize of the NXT Women’s division on the line.
>The Pirate Princess and The Queen of Spades have been embroiled in highly personal competition ever since they first collided in the 2017 Mae Young Classic Final, which resulted in Sane coming out on top to claim the prestigious honor of inaugural Mae Young Classic winner. Both Superstars would then go on to channel their aggression in two more thrilling matches. Baszler topped Sane on NXT in February, but The Pirate Princess later evened the score at TakeOver: Brooklyn IV, picking up the NXT Women’s Title in the process. Since Brooklyn, though, Baszler has been incensed on cutting her rival’s reign short and dominating the black-and-yellow brand with a championship-clad iron fist.
>Will Sane be able to stop The Queen of Spades in her tracks and maintain her position as the black flagbearer for the NXT Women’s division? Or will The Pirate Princess’s newfound “killer instinct” fall to Baszler’s coldblooded fury?
>Don’t miss WWE Evolution, streaming Sunday, Oct. 28, at 7 ET/4 PT, live on the award-winning WWE Network.

Mae Young Classic 2018
First round begins tonight at 9.
Can Killer Kelly knock off the iconic Meiko Satomura?
>If you think the word “legend” is thrown around too loosely, just know this: Meiko Satomura, the 23-year ring veteran who faces Killer Kelly in the opening round of the 2018 Mae Young Classic this week on WWE Network, is, by any standard, a true legend of the ring.
>A master of “Joshi Strong Style,” the dangerously skilled Satomura looks to show the world what all the hype is about when she steps in a WWE ring for the first time in her decorated career. Hoping to rain on her parade, however, will be double-tough NXT UK Superstar Killer Kelly of Portugal. Kelly knows all too well that a victory against Satomura wouldn’t only propel her to the Second Round; it’d instantly establish Kelly as a force to be reckoned with.
>Can Killer Kelly notch the biggest win of her career against the final boss of Japanese women’s wrestling? Or will Satomura move one step closer to adding the Mae Young Classic trophy to her long list of accolades?
Wales’ Tegan Nox flies back into action against Chile’s Zatara
>After a torn ACL kept her out of action in last year’s Mae Young Classic, Welsh sensation Tegan Nox looks to make up for lost time when she makes her WWE Network debut against Chile’s Zatara.
>Nox, aka The Girl with the Shiniest Wizard, is renowned for her match-ending knee strike, the Shining Wizard. Although the native of South Wales boasts an impressive high-flying attack to go along with her vicious strikes, Zatara may be one of the few competitors in this year’s tournament who can match Nox’s hard hits and aerial offense. The masked luchadora is also unrepentant when it comes to the tactics she uses, subscribing to the belief that the end always justifies the means.
David vs. Goliath comes to life as Lacey Lane collides with Vanessa Kraven
>It’s hard to imagine Lacey Lane drawing a more daunting opponent in the First Round than “The Mountain” Vanessa Kraven. Simply put, the ill-tempered powerhouse from Montreal is everything that Lane isn’t.
>Standing 6-foot-2, Kraven has the obvious reach and strength advantage over the 5-foot-2 Lane. And whereas Lane, a product of The Dudley Boyz’s wrestling school, has competed professionally for less than three years, The Mountain brings more than a decade of ring dominance to the tournament. Yet, for all the size and experience she gives up to the hard-hitting Quebecois, Lane brings a thrilling, daredevil in-ring style that has already earned her an NXT contract.
>Can Lane rise to the occasion in her uphill battle against The Mountain, or will Kraven chop down Lane en route to progressing to round two?
New-attitude Rhea Ripley faces NXT newcomer MJ Jenkins
>After making a splash in the inaugural Mae Young Classic, Australia’s Rhea Ripley returns to tournament competition to face new NXT signee MJ Jenkins in the First Round.
>Ripley has undergone a severe attitude change since last year’s event. Gone is the smiling, excitable Superstar who was just looking to make a good impression. She no longer tries to hide her surliness or her sneer. The audacious Aussie has always been athletic, but now she pairs her freaky strength with a mean streak, trashing opponents like they’re somebody’s unsuspecting uncle who just stumbled into a mosh pit.
>In contrast to Ripley’s rough and tumble ways, Jenkins is smooth and sleek inside the ring. A protégé of WWE Hall of Famer Johnny Rodz, Jenkins is a colorful and charismatic burst of energy, and nothing would kick-start her WWE career quite like winning the Mae Young Classic.
New RAM/SD GMs
Kurt's gotten some heat for being boring and his only story angle so far, the bastard mulatto mutt son, falling flat on its face. Daniel Bryan has been pretty useless since Miz was moved out of SD and couldn't feud with him, and may be leaving for something that lets him wrestle. Who should replace them as brand GMs?

NL cuck out; begin removing past videos and re-editing streams
Welp, it was fun while it lasted. I'm guessing as a caveat of their rise in popularity this past year or so (particularly if they want to get in the WWE's good books), they've started unlisting videos that they now deem edgy, and have also started editing parts of their streams out. This includes their spelling bee video, which they have taken down from everywhere it was hosted on.

Megathread? Edition
The Deadman returns to Raw to address Triple H
>A series of increasingly personal attacks have all but wiped out any pretense of mutual respect between The Undertaker and Triple H as they prepare to battle for the last time ever at WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne, Australia. Last week seemed to ice it for Triple H, who responded to The Deadman’s insults of Shawn Michaels by promising to “put him down.” Now, The Last Outlaw rides back onto Team Red to offer his rebuttal. Will this remain a war of words for now, or will things escalate into physicality?
How will Lesnar’s return impact the Universal Title picture?
>Brock Lesnar was told he couldn’t have a Universal Title rematch at WWE Hell in a Cell, so he destroyed Hell in a Cell singlehandedly. The Conqueror kicked the Cell’s door off its hinges and decimated Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman, bringing their title bout to an unprecedented no-contest decision. While it’s hard to imagine Strowman won’t demand restitution, The Beast clearly isn’t about to let the championship race pass him by. Could the record-setting titleholder return to Raw to once again demand his rematch? And if he does, will Acting General Manager Baron Corbin have the guts to turn him down?
Can anyone hang with Ronda Rousey?
>Far more decisive was the ending to the Raw Women’s Championship Match, which saw Ronda Rousey emphatically retain against Alexa Bliss, despite an attack on the champion’s injured ribs that brought her dangerously close to an upset. While Rousey is firmly entrenched as champion, The Goddess arguably provided a blueprint for combatting Rousey, and the division is wide open. Will a new challenger emerge?
Do Rollins & Ambrose have unfinished business with the Raw Tag Team Champions?
>While Braun Strowman may have failed to capture the Universal Title, his cohorts Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre retained the Raw Tag Team Titles in thoroughly impressive fashion, holding off an all-world effort from Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins. Lingering animosity between Strowman’s “pack” and Rollins & Ambrose aside, will anybody step up to challenge Ziggler & McIntyre? Find out on a must-see Raw, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Royal Rumble used to be my favorite prowrestling time of the year. It was fun, unpredictable, and every year there would be a few old guys coming and taking fans back to the past, it was amazing.
Royal Rumble 2018 sucked… It was the most tasteless Royal Rumble I have ever watched… Well, at least Orton did not win like I was afraid of. (I hate Orton.)
I've been watching prowrestling for 11 or 12 years now, and I am tired of boring and predictable shit, and always the big stars winning the big matches. I want surprises, I want fun !
Who's the person you demand to see at next Royal Rumble or you riottttttttt ? Like, HBK ? John Morison ? Shelton Benjamin's mom ?
ROME 9/10 Wymyn & Nostalgia Edition
WWE Raw preview, Sept. 10, 2018: Ronda Rousey & Natalya square off against Alexa Bliss & Alicia Fox
In an action-packed edition of Monday Night Raw, emanating live from New Orleans, Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey teams up with longtime friend Natalya to battle Alexa Bliss and her nefarious accomplice, Alicia Fox. Also on Raw, Triple H returns to respond to The Undertaker’s chilling message last Monday night, and WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley returns to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his historic (and infamous) Hell in a Cell Match.
<New Orleans gets Rowdy once more
In the same city that hosted her WWE in-ring debut at this year’s WrestleMania, Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey stands alongside her friend and training partner Natalya to battle former titleholder Alexa Bliss and the wily Alicia Fox in tag team action.
This past Monday night, Little Miss Bliss made The Queen of Harts submit to her own version of Rousey’s Armbar as The Rowdy One looked on from ringside. Can Rousey and Natalya score some retribution this coming Monday night, six nights before The Baddest Women on the Planet defends her title against The Goddess at the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event?
>Is The Shield shattered?
As if dealing with Braun Strowman and new Raw Tag Team Champions Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre wasn’t enough, The Shield now have to combat a small army of menacing Superstars who have formed a united front against The Hounds of Justice.
After Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose were arrested this past Monday night and charged with inciting a riottttttttt, criminal damage and disorderly conduct, The Shield returned to bring the fight to The Monster Among Men and his new allies, but they were met with a massive ambush that included virtually half of the Team Red roster.
Although clearly injured in the assault, The Hounds of Justice refused medical care at the end of the night. Will The [LOUD BOOING] be at 100 percent when he defends his title against Strowman inside Hell in a Cell next Sunday? And how will The Shield strike back now that their enemies have joined forces?
>The Game responds to The Deadman
After WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels came to Raw and predicted a win for Triple H in The Game’s final battle against The Undertaker at WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne, Australia, The Phenom made a shocking return to the red brand to state, in no uncertain terms, that he is going to put HBK’s “buddy, Triple H, down again,” referring, of course, to The Deadman’s back-to-back WrestleMania wins against The Game in 2011 and 2012.
Triple H will address The Undertaker’s comments Monday in New Orleans in what will surely be a must-see appearance by The King of Kings.
>Mick Foley relives Hell in a Cell history
As Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman take their rivalry inside Hell in a Cell for the first time ever, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley — who infamously soared off the top of the diabolical structure two decades ago — returns to Raw to commemorate the 20th anniversary of that grueling and iconic Hell in a Cell Match against The Undertaker at King of the Ring 1998.
What advice will Mrs. Foley’s Baby Boy impart to the Superstars preparing to do battle inside the cell’s terrifying confines, and how will he celebrate one of the most brutal matches in the history of sports-entertainment?

>Brie returned to Team Blue two nights after SummerSlam to help her husband, Daniel Bryan, even the odds against Maryse & The Miz and issued the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view challenge.

The Queen and Sonya Deville ready for showdown on SmackDown LIVE
>As first reported by WWE’s official Twitter account, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair will face off against Sonya Deville on SmackDown LIVE tonight.
>With Flair’s impending title defense against Becky Lynch at the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event looming, will The Queen be prepared to focus on the task at hand tonight? Or, will the tough-as-they-come Deville, who will surely have Mandy Rose watching her back, be able to capitalize on the champion’s weeks of turmoil with her former best friend and pick up the biggest victory of her career?
Can Andrade “Cien” Almas handle R-Truth?
>R-Truth’s main event win over The Miz on SmackDown LIVE last week caught the attention of many within the WWE Universe … including Andrade “Cien” Almas & Zelina Vega.
>Truth took to social media, reflecting on how blessed he is to have not only main evented against The A-Lister last week, but to now be on a winning streak (of one match, but still — streak’s a streak). These musings caught the attention of Almas & Vega, who mocked Truth’s “streak” and said that Almas would be more than happy to be the one to bring it to an end. This back-and-forth caught the attention of SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige, who officially made Truth vs. Almas for tonight with the “streak” on the line.
Hardy and Nakamura to settle their unfinished business
> United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and Jeff Hardy have been bickering and battling, for months. Now, with Jeff Hardy’s Hell in a Cell clash with Randy Orton only days away at the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event, Hardy feels as though he must “cleanse his soul” and resolve his unfinished business with The King of Strong Style.
>SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige agreed, and revealed that this showdown will be the first match to take place tonight on SmackDown LIVE:
>Will The Charismatic Enigma be able to pick up pivotal momentum heading into his clash with The Viper by defeating Nakamura? Or, will WWE’s Rockstar rock Hardy to his core and put the fan favorite at a decisive disadvantage as he prepares to enter The Apex Predator’s line of fire?
Rusev Day and The Bar clash for a SmackDown Tag Team Title opportunity at WWE Hell in a Cell
>SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day will find out who they will defend their titles against this Sunday at WWE Hell in a Cell tonight, as Rusev Day and The Bar clash for the right to face the titleholders in San Antonio.
>The bout is the culmination of a tournament set up by Paige to determine the champions' next opponents. Sheamus & Cesaro defeated Gallows & Anderson and The Colons in one Triple Threat Match to advance, while The Bulgarian Brute & Aiden English bested SAnitY's Eric Young & Killian Dain and The Usos to move one step closer to championship glory.
>Who will earn themselves a championship opportunity? Find out in what is sure to be a hard-hitting battle on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

All Out Edition
The Bella Twins return to clash with The riotttttttttt Squad
>They’re baaaaaack. This coming Monday night on Raw, The Bella Twins return to the ring as a tandem to face The riotttttttttt Squad in tag team action.
>Ruby riotttttttttt, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan seem confident, gleefully (and maliciously) welcoming the twins to “Monday Night riotttttttttt,” but they would be unwise to underestimate the veteran Bellas.
>Which two riotttttttttt Squad members will tangle with Nikki & Brie, and how might this battle change the complexion of WWE Evolution, where The Bella Twins join forces with Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey to face the torment-loving trio in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match?
Braun Strowman forges imposing alliance
>Braun Strowman might have given up his Money in the Bank contract this past Monday night by announcing he is cashing in on Universal Champion Roman Reigns inside Hell in a Cell on Sept. 16, but he seemingly gained two new allies in Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre, joining them in brutalizing all three Shield members.
>The Monster Among Men, The Showoff and The Scottish Terminator will meet The Hounds of Justice at WWE Super Show-Down, but will we see these triumvirates collide this Monday night?
Shawn Michaels weighs in on Triple H and The Undertaker’s WWE Super Show-Down match
>“Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Christian, Ric Flair and other WWE Legends have already weighed in on the final battle between Triple H and The Undertaker at WWE Super Show-Down on Oct. 6, but we’ll soon hear from WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, who’s making his return to Team Red this Monday.
>HBK has a long history of in-ring competition with both The Deadman and his longtime friend Triple H, and he even served as the Special Guest Referee of their End of an Era Hell in a Cell Match at WrestleMania XXVIII. Will The Showstopper take sides as The Cerebral Assassin and The Phenom prepare to collide one last time?
The Revival challenge The B-Team for the Raw Tag Team Titles
>The Revival have kept The B-Team on the defensive in recent weeks, defeating the Raw Tag Team Champions in both one-on-one and tag team combat, and this coming Monday night, Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder will finally have the chance to back up their “Top Guy” bluster should they capture the titles from Bo Dallas & Curtis Axel.
>Will The Revival end the fun and games of The B-Team’s reign and bring about a new era of tag team competition on Raw?
What’s Alexa Bliss’ plan to conquer Ronda Rousey at WWE Hell in a Cell?
>Alexa Bliss will get her contractually obligated rematch against Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey at the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view event, but judging by her swift defeat to The Rowdy One at SummerSlam, we wonder if Little Miss Bliss will be up to the challenge come Sept. 16.
>This past Monday night, though, Bliss was sporting a renewed air of confidence (granted, she was flanked by Alicia Fox and Mickie James). Is The Goddess devising a new strategy to take down The Baddest Woman on the Planet?
>Don’t miss any of the action on Monday Night Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Sheamus & Cesaro’s opponents will be determined in a Triple Threat Match on this week’s edition of SmackDown LIVE.
>Will it be a Happy Rusev Day for The Bulgarian Brute and The Drama King, who are seemingly back on the same page? Or will three-time champions The Usos or the unpredictable SAnitY put a damper on the celebrations?
Will Samoa Joe actually go to AJ Styles’ home?
>With a WWE Championship rematch scheduled between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe for the WWE Hell in a Cell event, The Samoan Submission Machine has continued to push the Phenomenal One’s buttons to try and throw the champion off his game. Joe crossed the line once again last week, calling the WWE Champion’s wife while AJ watched in the ring, saying he was going to pay a visit to the Styles home this week. Will Joe make good on his words?
How will Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella bounce back?
>Last Tuesday, Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella were the targets of a 4-on-2 attack at the hands of The Miz, Maryse, Andrade “Cien” Almas & Zelina Vega, capped off with The Awesome One putting Bryan in the “Yes!” Lock and forcing him to watch as Maryse planted Brie into the canvas with a devastating DDT.
>As their Mixed Tag Team Match at WWE Hell in a Cell rapidly approaches, will Bryan & Brie be out for payback on The It Couple?
What’s next for Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch?
>Becky Lynch made her intentions clear on SmackDown LIVE last Tuesday when she blindsided Charlotte Flair and said that she’d be SmackDown Women’s Champion when she has her way.

>The Queen returned several weeks ago, stopping The Princess of Staten Island from attacking Becky Lynch, who had earned a title opportunity by defeating Carmella. Afterward, Flair was given the opportunity to be added into the SummerSlam title showdown, and she took advantage by defeating Princess Mella.
>At The Biggest Event of The Summer, Flair pinned Lynch to win the championship, sending The Irish Lass Kicker into a rage that saw her viciously attack The Queen and end their friendship. Two nights later on the blue brand, Charlotte and Becky once again threw fists in a wild melee and had to be pulled apart by nearly every woman on SmackDown LIVE. After the brawl, Carmella approached SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige about getting her rematch, and her request was granted.
>Will Charlotte Flair put the implosion of her closest friendship aside, or will Carmella take advantage and reclaim her title? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

>The road to a SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match at WWE Hell in a Cell will begin tonight on SmackDown LIVE when Gallows & Anderson, The Bar and The Colons square off in a Triple Threat Match.
>SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige announced that this will be the first of two Triple Threat Matches, with the winners battling for the right to challenge for the titles on Sunday, Sept. 16, streaming live on WWE Network.
>Gallows & Anderson and The Bar were involved in a heated backstage confrontation last Tuesday, with the two teams both looking to establish themselves as top contenders to the titles.

>Who will move one step closer to a SmackDown Tag Team Title opportunity? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
Will Brie & Bryan once again deliver an A-List punch to face?

OOOOAAAAAAAHHHH Edition
Braun Strowman wants to face Roman Reigns in the ring alone
> Well, that escalated quickly.
>During a heated Universal Championship main event pitting new titleholder Roman Reigns against challenger Finn Bálor — the first Superstar to hold that title — Braun Strowman emerged with his Money in the Bank contract in tow, making it clear that whoever won the match would, indeed, “get these hands.”
>The [LOUD BOOING] won with a ring-shaking Spear, capitalizing on the chaos, but when The Monster Among Men attempted to cash in for his guaranteed title opportunity against the battle-weary champion, Reigns’ Shield brothers, Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, emerged to overpower the opportunistic behemoth and lay him out with a thunderous Triple Powerbomb through the announce desk.
>Strowman still has his contract, but he also has a massive score to settle with The [LOUD BOOING]. Via Twitter, The Monster Among Men said he wants Reigns to confront him in the middle of the ring on Raw, without his Shield brothers.
>Reigns replied to affirm he will be there at 8 p.m. ET, with his Universal Championship in tow.
Ronda Rousey carries the torch
>After Stephanie McMahon tried to take credit for the Women’s Evolution, diminishing the accomplishments of the Superstars, new Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey retaliated by attacking the Raw Commissioner and locking her in the same Armbar that put away Alexa Bliss the previous night at SummerSlam.
>Although it remains to be seen if The Baddest Woman on the Planet will face repercussions for her actions, it’s clear that she’s ready to carry the division on her back and be a true fighting champion. Who will be next to step to Rowdy Ronda? Moreover, when will Little Miss Bliss be up to the task of facing Rousey once again in her guaranteed rematch?
Baron Corbin settles into his new position
>After incurring the wrath of Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey, Stephanie McMahon was, as one might expect, fairly critical of General Manager Kurt Angle, giving The Olympic Hero an unexpected vacation that puts Baron Corbin in charge of the red brand as its Acting General Manager.
>This Monday, The Lone Wolf will run a full episode of Raw for the first time ever. How will he deal with The Shield, The Baddest Woman on the Planet, his nemesis Finn Bálor and the Superstar who defeated him this past Monday night, Bobby Lashley?
The Revival go 2-0 against the Raw Tag Team Champions

SmackDown LIVE preview, Aug. 21, 2018: Two huge matches headline a special edition in Brooklyn
Because the fallout from a monumental SummerSlam just wasn't enough, Paige has put together a special edition of SmackDown LIVE that has the WWE Universe buzzing with excitement. After Sunday's controversial title match, The Bludgeon Brothers will put the SmackDown Tag Team Titles on the line against The New Day in a No Disqualification Match. Plus, Jeff Hardy will finally be able to get his hands on Randy Orton when the two square off in the evening's very first match. You won't want to miss a second of the action, starting tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>The New Day and The Bludgeon Brothers meet in No Disqualification title showdown
The SummerSlam showdown between The New Day and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers ended in a disqualification after Rowan clobbered the challengers with his mallet, setting off a brutal beatdown. The New Day won the battle but left without the titles because of the disqualification ending.
There will be no chance of that happening when the two teams clash tonight in a No Disqualification Match for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. Will The Bludgeon Brothers bring their mallets into battle from the get-go and pummel the challengers into submission, or can The New Day topple the monsters and claim their fifth tag team championship?
>Jeff Hardy finally goes one-on-one with Randy Orton
Randy Orton has spent the past several weeks tormenting Jeff Hardy, whether it was trying to rip Hardy’s ear open with his bare hands or attacking The Charismatic Enigma and removing his trademark face-paint. Hardy was vulnerable to another attack from The Viper after losing to Shinsuke Nakamura on Sunday at SummerSlam, but Orton instead turned around and walked away, later saying he’d deal with Hardy on his terms.
SmackDown General Manager Paige took to Twitter on Monday, announcing that Hardy and Orton would square off on Tuesday night and that it would be the first match to take place on SmackDown LIVE. What will happen when this heated rivalry hits the squared circle?
<Becky Lynch to explain her actions at SummerSlam
After months of fighting to get back into the SmackDown Women’s Championship picture, Becky Lynch came up short at SummerSlam, as Charlotte Flair dethroned Carmella by pinning Becky to claim the title for herself. The Irish Lass Kicker initially seemed to be happy for her best friend, hugging Flair, but she snapped in an instant, putting a vicious beating on The Queen.
Lynch will explain her actions tonight on SmackDown LIVE. What explanation could she have for the fiery fury she unleashed on her best friend?
>AJ Styles to give an exclusive interview
Heading into SummerSlam, WWE Champion AJ Styles made a promise to his family that he would not lose his cool against Samoa Joe. The Samoan Submission Machine, however, seemed determined to goad Styles into BREAKing that vow. At SummerSlam, he succeeded, as Joe’s taunting of Styles’ wife and daughter led to the WWE Champion ruthlessly assaulting Joe with a steel chair.
Styles left the arena with his family, apologizing and promising that he wouldn’t lose his cool like that again, but is there any going back from this for the WWE Champion? We may get an answer to that question, as there will be an exclusive interview with AJ Styles during SmackDown LIVE.
<it's a "family drama" episode
>What’s next for Daniel Bryan and The Miz?
Daniel Bryan finally got his hands on The Miz at SummerSlam, making good on his promise to punch The A-Lister in the face. However, The Miz left Brooklyn victorious after Maryse slipped her husband a foreign object, which he used to clobber Bryan.
Daniel Bryan was seething after the bout. Will he be out for payback? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
WWE fan terrified to admit publicly he still doesn’t really care for women’s wrestling
Although he thinks the elevated profile of women’s wrestling in WWE is “a positive reflection of shifting social norms,” 27-year-old Braden Larson of Cleveland fears a harsh backlash if he openly states that he still doesn’t particularly care for women’s matches.
“I mean, I think it’s nice that the women are getting their own pay-per-view and everything, but it just doesn’t really appeal to my personal tastes,” Larson said. “I said that on Twitter, and a bunch of people called me a misogynist.”
Larson holds a number of opinions about women’s wrestling, which he bolieves are based in common sense, but have sparked heated backlash in online forums.
Among his most controversial opinions:
>“I find men’s matches typically more exciting and hard-hitting, by virtue of their larger physiques and power-based move-sets.”
>“The announcement of Evolution was interesting, but calling it ‘historic’ seems like hyperbole. I mean, it’s still just silly pro wrestling, not a significant geopolitical event.”
>“I grew up watching predominantly men’s wrestling, so perhaps my preference for men’s matches is based partly on nostalgia.”
>“Rather than giving women their own pay-per-view, wouldn’t it be more progressive and egalitarian to give them equal screen-time on normal pay-per-views, thereby not segregating talent into different modalities based on gender — which, when you think about it, is actually contrary to the concept of equality?”
After expressing such comments in an online wrestling forum, Larson was accused of hate speech and banned from posting.
Smackdown and friends go home edition
SmackDown LIVE preview, Aug. 14, 2018: AJ Styles has more to say to Samoa Joe
WWE Champion AJ Styles returned to SmackDown LIVE last week with plenty to say about his SummerSlam challenger, Samoa Joe, after The Samoan Submission Machine accused The Phenomenal One of being a poor father. Apparently, the champion has more to get off his chest, as he’ll be responding further just five days before their title showdown in Brooklyn. What will Styles have to say? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network.
''
>AJ Styles has more to say to Samoa Joe
WWE Champion AJ Styles returned to SmackDown LIVE last week with strong words for his SummerSlam opponent, Samoa Joe, one week after the challenger insinuated that Styles is a poor father. The Phenomenal One said The Samoan Submission Machine would walk into Brooklyn for their championship battle, but he might have trouble walking out.
Apparently, the WWE Champion has more to say, as he will be responding further to his SummerSlam opponent. Is Styles going to lay into Joe with another fiery retort before Sunday, or are Samoa Joe’s mind games working?
<SmackDown Women’s Title Match participants come face to face
The SmackDown Women’s Championship Match at SummerSlam is sure to be a battle for the ages, with Carmella, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch looking to walk out of The Biggest Event of the Summer with championship gold.
Tensions will certainly be running high when all three women come face to face on SmackDown LIVE. The friendship between The Queen and The Irish Lass Kicker has certainly been put to the test in recent weeks; will The Princess of Staten Island look to turn the two buds against one another before SummerSlam?
>Aiden English goes one-on-one with Andrade “Cien” Almas
After costing Rusev & Lana a trio of singles matches against Andrade “Cien” Almas and Zelina Vega, Aiden English has vowed to make it up to his friends. English’s quest for penance apparently begins with battling El Idolo himself. The Drama King took to Twitter over the weekend, calling out Almas for a one-on-one battle on SmackDown LIVE.
>The New Day clash with SAnitY in Six-Man Tag Team showdown
The New Day emerged victorious from a four-team tournament to earn a SmackDown Tag Team Title opportunity at SummerSlam, but before they take on The Bludgeon Brothers in Brooklyn, they will clash with another dangerous crew on SmackDown LIVE: SAnitY.
Can The New Day control the chaos in this Six-Man Tag Team battle, or will Eric Young’s crew soften them up for Harper & Rowan?
<Paige promises Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville an opportunity
Frustrated with how she and Sonya Deville have been treated lately, Mandy Rose lashed out at her former Absolution teammate and current SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige on Twitter this past weekend, saying that Paige favors her former teammates in PCB, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.
Paige responded by saying that Flair and Lynch earned their chances but that she would give Rose & Deville opportunities of their own tonight.
RAW - 8/20/18
Nobody is watching Edition
Who is coming for Universal Champion Roman Reigns?
>At SummerSlam, The [LOUD BOOING] finally bested The Beast to once again lay claim to the Universal Championship, but when he returns to his yard tonight, who will be waiting to try and take it from him?
?Although Brock Lesnar is known for his frequent absences from the red brand, it is reasonable to assume that The Conqueror will set his sights on Reigns sooner or later. In addition, after making his presence known last night in SummerSlam’s main event, Braun Strowman could very well make good on his promise to cash in his Money in the Bank contract.
Ronda Rousey to receive custom Raw Women's Title
>Ronda Rousey added to her already incredible legacy by making Alexa Bliss tap out in dominant fashion, claiming the Raw Women’s Championship last night at SummerSlam. How will the landscape on Raw change with The Baddest Woman on the Planet at the top of the mountain? And will The Goddess of WWE dare to come back in search of her sixth Women’s Championship? Rousey’s official coronation ceremony tonight will likely shed some light on what the WWE Universe can expect from Raw’s new-look Women’s division.
Ambrose returns to in-ring competition against Ziggler
>Of course, another Raw Superstar also returned to glory at Sunday night’s pay-per-view, as Dean Ambrose completely neutralized Drew McIntyre and paved the way for Seth Rollins to regain the Intercontinental Championship from Dolph Ziggler.
>With the title now back around Rollins’ waist and his brother-at-arms watching his back, The Architect seems virtually unstoppable as the workhorse champion. Can Ziggler maintain his alliance with the Sinister Scotsman without a championship? We’ll see how he fares on his own tonight when the former champion locks horns with Ambrose in The Lunatic Fringe’s first match back from injury.
Who can stop the B-Team?
>The B-Team’s magical run as Raw Tag Team Champions continued when they bested The Revival on the SummerSlam Kickoff last night. Who will be the next team to try and end Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas’ Cinderella story?
What fallout will occur after The Demon’s reemergence?
>In a shocking SummerSlam moment, Finn Bálor resurrected The Demon last night to overcome Constable Baron Corbin. Will Finn face retribution from Raw’s Constable? And if Corbin strikes back, is it only a matter of time before we again see The Demon?
Triple H to appear live on Raw tonight
>It’s been a long time since Triple H appeared live on Raw, but as confirmed by Renee Young, The King of Kings will return to Team Red for a very special appearance in advance of his last-time-ever battle with The Undertaker at WWE Super Show-Down. Tune in live at 8/7 C on USA Network to hear what The Game has to say.
NXT Takeover Brooklyn IV 8-18-18
This takeover's card includes:
>NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa vs. Johnny Gargano (Last Man Standing Match)
<NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler vs. Kairi Sane
>NXT North American Champion Adam Cole vs. Ricochet
>NXT Tag Team Champions Undisputed ERA vs. Moustache Mountain
>EC3 vs. Velveteen Dream
Preshow starts tonight at 6. Predictions? Will it better than tomorrow's Summerslam?
Jim Neidhart dead at 63
With a heavy heart, we have learned that Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart has passed away.
Killer Bee Brian Blair who also runs the Cauliflower Alley Club made the announcement this morning. At this time there is no cause of death or confirmation other than Blair’s tweet on the matter.
We’re sure there will be many longer tributes for The Anvil up as the pro wrestling world pays tribute to this amazing talent and mountain of a man. His appearances on Total Divas were an amazing way to remember him during his later years as his daughter Natalya dealt with having The Anvil as a father.
He was lovable and intimidating at the same time and he will be missed.
At this time our thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who is saddened by this great loss, which should be anyone who was a pro wrestling fan at any time in the last twenty to thirty years. The Anvil will never be forgotten.
8/13 BOLIEVE IN THESE BATTLESCARS EDITION
WWE Raw preview, Aug. 13, 2018: Raw Tag Team Titles on the line in Triple Threat Match
Six nights before SummerSlam, The B-Team will defend the Raw Tag Team Championship against The DELETErs of Worlds and The Revival in a Triple Threat Match. Can Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas cling to their titles heading into The Biggest Event of the Summer? Plus, Seth Rollins meets Dolph Ziggler for their Intercontinental Title Match contract signing!
>Can The B-Team beat the odds yet again?
The B-Team are one of the most bewildering underdog stories in recent WWE history, transforming from perennial losers to world-beaters seemingly overnight. However, after Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas captured the Raw Tag Team Titles from The DELETErs of Worlds at WWE Extreme Rules, “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt have stayed hot on their heels, and the hungry Revival have made clear their intent to lay waste to both teams in pursuit of Team Red’s tandem titles.
All three teams will collide in a Triple Threat Match for the Raw Tag Team Championship Monday night on Raw. Will The B-Team’s fortune finally run out? And if it does, will it be The DELETErs of Worlds or Raw’s “Top Guys” who walk into SummerSlam as champions?
<Alexa Bliss on the run
Despite her interference in last week’s main event, Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss watched in horror as Ronda Rousey — competing for the very first time on Raw — made Alicia Fox tap ferociously to her excruciating Armbar, sending a painful message to The Goddess before their title match at SummerSlam.
Afterward, Bliss told WWE.com that she’s not afraid of Rousey, reiterating that when The Baddest Woman on the Planet gets in the ring with her at SummerSlam, the world will see her as “nothing but an overhyped rookie.” Will Little Miss Bliss come to regret those words?
<Renee Young to step in on Raw announce team as guest commentator Monday night
Renee Young will be stepping in for Jonathan Coachman on the Raw announce team as a guest commentator this Monday night, ESPN.com reports. Coachman, meanwhile, will be fulfilling another obligation.
Young will work alongside Michael Cole and Corey Graves for all three hours of the broadcast, making this the first time a woman has called an entire episode of Raw.
Don’t miss Renee Young’s (((historic))) Raw announce team debut live this Monday at 8/7 C on USA Network.
>Constable Baron Corbin and Finn Bálor to compete in separate singles matches
Raw Constable Baron Corbin announced in a WWE.com interview this afternoon that both he and Finn Bálor will be in separate singles matches, six nights before their anticipated match against one another at SummerSlam.
Is Corbin devising a way to show up his opponent at The Biggest Event of the Summer after Bálor got the better of him last week, or does The Constable have something more sinister up his sleeve?
>Intercontinental Championship contract signing set
Even though Seth Rollins is facing Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship at SummerSlam, he’s essentially also competing against the imposing Drew McIntyre. Based on what happened in this past Monday night’s Handicap Match, not even The Kingslayer can beat those odds.
Live on Raw, Rollins will meet Ziggler (and McIntyre) for the contract signing that will make their title clash official. Will The Architect be able to repel a 2-on-1 attack if chaos erupts once the ink dries?
>Paul Heyman leaves us hanging
In the unaired final moment of his emotional interview with Renee Young, Paul Heyman seemed to hint that there might be one way Roman Reigns can defeat Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. Why he stopped himself from speaking further remains a mystery.
So, what was Heyman going to say? Does The Beast Incarnate have a weakness that has yet to be exploited, or is it something deeper than that?
>Can Braun Strowman keep his composure?
If Braun Strowman loses to Kevin Owens at SummerSlam in any way — be it by pinfall, submission, count-out or disqualification — he will be forced to relinquish his coveted Money in the Bank contract to KO, and given the ways in which Owens has succeeded in getting under the skin of The Monster Among Men, Strowman might find himself at a rare disadvantage in a one-on-one bout.
One week after Owens stole Strowman’s contract, leading Mr. Monster in the Bank to suffer a count-out loss to Jinder Mahal, KO’s machinations got Strowman disqualified when he inadvertently struck The Modern Day Maharaja with the briefcase.
Will Strowman keep it together this week heading into his high-stakes match at SummerSlam? Bear in mind, The Monster Among Men knocked over a stage last Monday night, so anything would be an improvement.

SmackDown LIVE preview, Aug. 7, 2018: Styles returns to address Samoa Joe
Last week, Samoa Joe got extremely personal with WWE Champion AJ Styles ahead of their SummerSlam clash for the title. The Samoan Submission Machine accused Styles of being a poor father, choosing to spend more time on the road than at home with his family. Tonight, The Phenomenal One returns to address his challenger. Has Samoa Joe gotten inside the champion’s head? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>AJ Styles returns to address Samoa Joe
Last Tuesday, Samoa Joe got extremely personal with WWE Champion AJ Styles, accusing the titleholder of neglecting his family in favor of his career as their SummerSlam title match draws near. The Phenomenal One returns to SmackDown LIVE tonight, two weeks after being blindsided by The Samoan Submission Machine.
What will Styles have to say? Has Samoa Joe gotten inside his head?
>The New Day and The Bar clash for SummerSlam title opportunity
The tournament to determine who will challenge SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers at SummerSlam concludes tonight, as The New Day clash with The Bar in the finals.
Big E & Xavier Woods defeated SAnitY to earn their place in the final match, while Sheamus & Cesaro emerged victorious from a hard-hitting throwdown with The Usos to move one step closer to earning a title opportunity at The Biggest Event of The Summer.
There’s no love lost between these two teams. In fact, it was The Bar who brought The New Day’s record-BREAKing 484-day reign as WWE Tag Team Champions to an end in 2016. Will The Celtic Warrior and The Swiss Cyborg once again be victorious, or will The New Day earn the right to challenge for their fifth tag team championship at SummerSlam?

>What is The Miz’s SummerSlam announcement?
Daniel Bryan issued a SummerSlam challenge to The Miz on Tuesday, but he was rebuked by The A-Lister, who mocked him with a barrage of insults and an onslaught of crying baby videos. The Awesome One reiterated his stance on Saturday, stating clearly that “the answer is no,” as he bolieves he deserves better than a match with Daniel Bryan.

>Lana and Zelina Vega clash in rematch from last Tuesday
WWE.com has learned that Lana and Zelina Vega will face off tonight in a rematch from last Tuesday's SmackDown LIVE because clearly there is no roster of wrestlers that could be shown instead, they'll have to dark match or main event and do house shows instead because we need to do this dumb shit again.
That match, Vega's first since joining Team Blue earlier this year, saw Andrade "Cien" Almas' business associate emerge victorious after Aiden English prevented Almas from interfering, distracting The Ravishing Russian and allowing Vega to roll her up for the three count.
English apologized profusely after the match, but the fractures in the Rusev Day crew continued to show, as Lana told The Bulgarian Brute she needed him at ringside.
Will they be on the same page tonight, or will Zelina Vega continue her hot streak? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

WWE Raw preview, Aug. 6, 2018: Ronda Rousey to compete on Raw for the first time ever
The Baddest Woman on the Planet gets in the ring against Alicia Fox on Raw, competing on the red brand for the first time since joining the roster earlier this year. What kind of message will she send to her SummerSlam opponent, Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss? Also on Raw, Bobby Roode goes one-on-one with Mojo Rawley!
>Ronda Rousey faces Alicia Fox
Alicia Fox recently aligned herself with Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, which makes her an enemy of Ronda Rousey. After Little Miss Bliss’ cheap shot cost Rousey’s longtime friend Natalya a victory over Alicia, Alexa and The Foxy One used the numbers game to overpower The Baddest Woman on the Planet. Not wanting to wait until SummerSlam to get payback, Rousey will go one-on-one with Fox on Raw in Jacksonville, Fla., competing live on the red brand for the first time ever.
Will Rousey make Fox regret buddying up with The Goddess?
>Disheveled advocate
This past Monday night, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar was in a foul mood… well, more foul than usual.
After shrugging off Paul Heyman’s attempts to bring him out to the arena — an appearance Heyman was counting on to remain employed in WWE — The Beast Incarnate lashed out by assaulting Raw General Manager Kurt Angle with an F-5, then grabbed Heyman by the face and incapacitated his advocate with a vise-like squeeze.
Per Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon, Roman Reigns was forced to vacate the building this past Monday night before this incident occurred, so The [LOUD BOOING] wasn’t on-hand to halt The Conqueror’s rampage.
Expect Reigns to have much to say about the vile actions of his SummerSlam foe this coming Monday night.
>Bobby Roode takes on Mojo Rawley
Mojo Rawley has been on a tear on Raw recently, laying waste to No Way Jose and Tyler Breeze in decisive fashion, but as the bruiser was playing up his accomplishments in the locker room this past Monday night, Bobby Roode had heard enough.
A brawl ensued (and was even captured on video by Mike Kanellis), prompting Raw General Manager Kurt Angle to schedule a match for this coming week, where The Glorious One can settle his differences with Rawley in the ring.
Will Roode take the menacing Mojo down a peg, or will the powerhouse have yet another reason to brag to his fellow Superstars?
>The Kingslayer on the defensive
After Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler saved Drew McIntyre from being pinned by Seth Rollins this past Monday night — earning The Kingslayer a disqualification win in the process — The Showoff and his mountainous enforcer launched a calculated mid-interview sneak-attack that left Rollins dazed and no doubt anxious for retribution.
Monday Night Rollins essentially faces two enemies at SummerSlam, given that the Intercontinental Champion is always flanked by the menacing McIntyre. But if anyone can devise a successful strategy, it’s The Architect.
Don’t miss any of the action on Monday Night Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network.

SmackDown LIVE preview, July 31, 2018: Jeff Hardy returns to confront Randy Orton
Two weeks ago, Jeff Hardy was on the receiving end of a gruesome attack at the hands of Randy Orton, as The Viper tried to tear his ear open. Tonight on SmackDown LIVE, The Charismatic Enigma returns to begin his quest for payback on WWE's Apex Predator. Don't miss a second of SmackDown LIVE, tonight, at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>Jeff Hardy returns to confront Randy Orton
Jeff Hardy was on the receiving end of a vicious attack at the hands of Randy Orton two weeks ago, as The Viper ripped at Hardy's ear, trying to rip it open in front of the WWE Universe.
Orton explained last week that he intends to write The Charismatic Enigma's final chapter in WWE, and may get the chance to try and do that sooner than expected, as Jeff Hardy is returning to confront The Apex Predator tonight.
What will happen if Hardy gets his hands on Orton?
>Lana and Zelina Vega go one-on-one
After coming to blows during last Tuesday’s battle between Rusev and Andrade “Cien” Almas, the war of words between Lana and Zelina Vega continued on social media over the weekend.
SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige announced on Monday that this newfound rivalry would be taken off the internet and into the squared circle. Who will walk out victorious?
>The Usos clash with The Bar in SummerSlam Tag Team Title Tournament
Last week, The New Day moved one step closer to a SmackDown Tag Team Title opportunity against The Bludgeon Brothers at SummerSlam with a win over SAnitY. The next hurdle will be a match against the winners of this week’s tournament battle, a showdown between The Usos and The Bar.
Jimmy & Jey Uso are looking to once again put the rest of Team Blue on lockdown and win a fourth SmackDown Tag Team Title, while Sheamus & Cesaro are looking to establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the blue brand after jumping to Tuesday nights in this year’s Superstar Shake-up. Which duo will advance to face The New Day for the right to challenge Harper & Rowan at SummerSlam? Will Sheamus remove the PEDO RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK pin from his stupid jacket?
>Is Samoa Joe on his way to becoming WWE Champion?
Samoa Joe made a huge statement last Tuesday, revealing himself as the next challenger for AJ Styles’ WWE Championship by putting The Phenomenal One to sleep with the excruciating Coquina Clutch, then signing his name to the SummerSlam contract. Samoa Joe seemed extremely confident as he said “tick tock” while walking away from the carnage, seemingly counting down the time on Styles’ reign.
How will the WWE Champion deal with such a monstrous challenger when both men are in the same building on SmackDown LIVE? Will Joe win this one because there isn't a Roman or Brock on this show?
>What’s next for Becky Lynch and Carmella?
Becky Lynch made good on her vow to get back in the SmackDown Women’s Championship picture, defeating Carmella last week to earn a title match against The Princess of Staten Island at SummerSlam.
Carmella left the battle with a fat lip (and probably a sore arm), vowing to get back at The Irish Lass Kicker. With three weeks left until her title defense, will The Princess of Staten Island begin to try to make Lynch’s life hell?
>Will Daniel Bryan respond to The Miz’s heinous attack?
The Miz stooped to a new low last Tuesday, using a baby doll to take advantage of Daniel Bryan and flattening The “Yes!” Man with the Skull-Crushing Finale before continuing to insult Bryan and promote the premiere of Miz & Mrs.
Bryan will surely be out for payback on his longtime rival. Will The Miz keep the upper hand, or will Bryan finally get to punch The Awesome One in the face? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

WWE Raw preview, July 30, 2018: How will Brock Lesnar address his SummerSlam battle with Roman Reigns?
Universal Champion Brock Lesnar returns to Raw, with his SummerSlam title clash with Roman Reigns set in stone. Will these bitter rivals mix it up before The Biggest Event of the Summer? Also on Raw, Ronda Rousey returns from her suspension, Finn Bálor faces Constable Baron Corbin and Seth Rollins takes on Drew McIntyre.
>The Conqueror cometh
The “uncrowned” Universal Champion is coming for the throne. After being denied Brock Lesnar’s coveted title at WrestleMania and WWE Greatest Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns has earned another opportunity to take down The Conqueror, this time at SummerSlam in Brooklyn.
As Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman revealed this past Monday, The Beast Incarnate will bring his title to Cincinnati for Raw, where Reigns will be waiting.
>Finn Bálor sizes up The Constable
Constable Baron Corbin seems pretty bitter that Finn Bálor beat him at WWE Extreme Rules, going so far as to relocate the Irishman’s dressing room to a children’s playhouse this past Monday night. Of course, Bálor is a kid at heart, and he took the attempted insult in stride. There will be no smiles, however, when he takes on the Team Red Constable one-on-one.
Will WWE’s first Universal Champion make Corbin regret his repeated insults, or will The Constable abuse his power — and size advantage — in this WWE Extreme Rules rematch?
Is there something suspicous and creepy about the >implications here?
>The Baddest Challenger on the Planet
Ronda Rousey’s extended suspension is officially over, and her Raw Women’s Championship opportunity against Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam is still a go.
When we last saw Rousey on the red brand two weeks ago, The Baddest Woman on the Planet had violated her Raw ban to attack both The Goddess and her BFF Mickie James. (And, yes, that was genuine fear in Alexa’s eyes when Rousey went on the offensive.)
Little Miss Bliss might need to keep her head on a swivel this Monday night when Raw gets “Rowdy” once again.
>The Architect looks to deconstruct Drew McIntrye
This past Monday night, Seth Rollins & Finn Bálor defeated Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre when The Kingslayer pinned The Showoff, earning himself a rematch for the workhorse title at SummerSlam in the process.
However, before he battles to reclaim the Intercontinental Title, Rollins will take on Ziggler’s imposing associate McIntyre this Monday night. Can Rollins build his momentum en route to The Biggest Event of the Summer?

Black Sunday - Volkoff, Brown, and Lawler die on the same day.
Former wrestlers Nikolai Volkoff, Brickhouse Brown, and Grandmaster Sexay Brian Christopher Lawler all died today from various causes suicide for Lawler. Once again more than one wrestler passes in a short time period, which begs the question:
WHO'S NEXT?!
The Triple H Three Step Plan to Taking Over a Wreslting Promotion
Step 1: Choose to align yourself with a group of wrestlers (the Kliq) who get preferential treatment from the wrestling promoter (Vince McMahon) because the leader of that group (Shawn Michaels) is having a homosexual affair with the promoter (Vince McMahon).
Step 2: Carry the bags of every other person in that group (most specially HBK, Hall and Nash) to show your complete and utter subordinanation to that group of wrestlers who have preferential treatment because their leader (Shawn Michaels) is having a homosexual affair with the promoter (Vince MchMahon).
Roadblock: Uh oh, your plan just encountered a road block. Your chosen group of wrestlers has lot power due to career ending (at the time) injuries, defections to rival promotions and the rising popularity of workers (Stone Cold, Rock, etc.) outside your group. What do you do?
Step 3: Simple! Shift tactics. Start dating and fucking the promoter's uggo daughter (Stephanie McMahon). Most wrestlers can get the best tail available, but that tail won't get you permanent job security. No one likes this annoying ugly bitch, but pretend you do and marry her. You will never have sex with another attractive woman, but your long term career is now guaranteed.
Congratulations, you have now taken over a wrestling promotion!

Stephanie McMahon to make historic announcement on Monday Night Raw
>As announced via Twitter, Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon is coming to Raw tonight to deliver a historic announcement.
>What monumental news awaits the WWE Universe? Find out at 8/7 C on USA Network.
SPOILER
It's gonna be womens tag team titles
That Bailey and Sasha will win, because that storyline can never end
Reigns-Lashley II
>Thanks to some hardline negotiating from Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar is penciled in for a Universal Title defense at SummerSlam. His challenger will be Roman Reigns or Bobby Lashley, each of whom won a Triple Threat to separate from a pack of other worthy contenders. With a Universal Title opportunity once more within reach, Reigns could finally turn the corner and book another dance with The Beast Incarnate. To do so, he’ll have to get past a Superstar who convincingly had his number in their last one-on-one encounter at WWE Extreme Rules. It’s anybody’s game here, folks
B-lete
>Even The B-Team seemed somewhat surprised that their winning ways continued when they completed their Cinderella run to the Raw Tag Team Titles, but the honeymoon could be over in a hurry now that “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt have called in their rematch clause. Dallas & Axel have good reason to be worried: They won the titles largely off a concentrated attack on Hardy and a game plan that kept Wyatt from swinging the contest. With a week’s preparation, The DELETErs of Worlds could successfully hit reset and send The B-Team back to square one.
All you need is love
>Sasha Banks finally gave Bayley an explanation for her recent actions on Monday, and while it may have been the talk The Huggable One needed, it probably wasn’t the one she expected: The Boss told Bayley that her recent animosity stems from her love of her best friend’s giving spirit and emotional vulnerability. Of course, she also told Booley that Banks wouldn’t allow anybody to beat Bayley up besides The Boss herself. Perhaps this confession has finally taken that option off the table. Perhaps not.
Suspended hostilities
>Ronda Rousey violated her suspension on Monday, but she got a pretty sweet incentive from Kurt Angle to play ball when The Olympic Hero sanctioned a Raw Women’s Title Match between Rousey and Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam. The catch? Rousey must serve one extra week on the shelf for her previous infractions, or the match is off. Bliss is one of WWE’s more underrated mind-game masters; will she try to goad Rousey into the ring before her time is up and get the match stricken from the books? If she does, will The Baddest Woman on the Planet will take the bait? And did “Constable” Baron Corbin ever pass along word of Angle’s deal to Stephanie McMahon? If he did, the Raw Commissioner and Rousey adversary will surely has some thoughts on the matter.

>Which blue brand Superstar will step into the spotlight to challenge arguably the greatest competitor working today at The Biggest Event of the Summer?
Will Becky Lynch earn a SmackDown Women's Title Match at SummerSlam?
>After Becky Lynch continued her winning streak with another impressive victory last week on SmackDown LIVE against Mandy Rose, The Irish Lass Kicker made an impassioned post-show warning that Straight Fire is coming after the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
>General Manager Paige was definitely listening, as she declared that Lynch will square off against The Princess of Staten Island this week. If Becky losses, Paige will throw the titleholder the Mellabration of all Mellabrations. But if Becky emerges victorious, she will earn a SmackDown Women's Title opportunity at SummerSlam!
Paige reveals tonight's First Round SmackDown Tag Team Title Tournament Match: The New Day vs. SAnitY

Why is The Viper targeting Hardy?
>Last week, Randy Orton emerged out of nowhere to cost Jeff Hardy his opportunity to reclaim the United States Title from Shinsuke Nakamura before brutally assaulting The Charismatic Enigma, even ruthlessly tugging at Hardy’s pierced ear.
>Will we finally find out why WWE’s Apex Predator has been targeting Hardy? And will his plans be turned update down by a Twist of Fate?
Are Daniel Bryan and The Miz destined to collide?
>Long before Daniel Bryan was cleared to compete again in a WWE ring, a war of words between him and longtime adversary The Miz left the WWE Universe craving a showdown between the two Superstars.
>And after WWE’s “Yes!” Man crashed The A-Lister’s mock funeral for Team Hell No last week, the highly-anticipated conflict could be closer than we think

Hulk Hogan reinstated into WWE HOF
WWE just announced after a three-year suspension, Hulk Hogan has been reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame. Below is WWE's full announcement:
"After a three-year suspension, Hulk Hogan has been reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame. This second chance follows Hogan's numerous public apologies and volunteering to work with young people, where he is helping them learn from his mistake. These efforts led to a recent induction into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Alumni Hall of Fame."
It's been well documented WWE has been keeping a close eye on the reactions to Hulk Hogan's recent appearances at events like the Boys & Girls Club HOF and the Andre the GiantDocumentary Premiere to see how he's been received.
Hogan hasn't appeared for WWE since being fired by the company in 2015 shortly before a tape containing him making racist remarks was made public. Hogan, who was upset with his daughter Brooke dating a black man, used the n-word several times in the tape and said, "I guess we're all a little racist."
Last month in an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Hogan said talks with joining up with WWE were moving along.
"Things are moving in that direction quite quickly," Hogan said. "It's all about execution and timing and the right place and the right time, but things are good."
>Hogan returns when?

Shinsuke Nakamura defends the U.S. Title against Jeff Hardy
>The WWE Universe was stunned by Shinsuke Nakamura’s United States Championship victory at WWE Extreme Rules, which saw him hit Jeff Hardy with a low blow before the bell, then bulldoze him with a Kinshasa for the three-count and the title.
>Though he also suffered a post-match low blow from a returning Randy Orton, Hardy demanded his contractually obligated rematch for tonight on SmackDown LIVE. Paige has granted The Charismatic Enigma’s wish, but will he be recovered enough to dethrone The King of Strong Style?
What’s next for AJ Styles?
>AJ Styles fended off the challenge of Rusev at WWE Extreme Rules, retaining his WWE Championship when Aiden English’s meddling backfired on The Bulgarian Brute.
>With Rusev in his rearview mirror and SummerSlam rapidly approaching, will anyone step up to challenge The Phenomenal One?
How will Asuka react to her loss to Carmella?
>Asuka may have thought she had Carmella all to herself with James Ellsworth suspended above the ring in a shark cage. Unfortunately, that didn’t stop Ellsworth from meddling in the bout, first by dropping foreign objects into the ring to the SmackDown Women’s Champion, then by escaping the cage and inadvertently distracting The Empress of Tomorrow, allowing Carmella to shove Asuka head-first into the cage and steal the victory.
>Though Asuka got a measure of payback on Ellsworth by pummeling him as he dangled upside down from the cage, she did not leave Pittsburgh with the SmackDown Women’s Title. Will her hunt for the gold continue on SmackDown LIVE?
Will Daniel Bryan bounce back from Team Hell No’s defeat?
>After a vicious beating at the hands of The Bludgeon Brothers, Daniel Bryan had the unenviable task of facing Harper & Rowan by himself for most of their SmackDown Tag Team Title Match on Sunday. Though Kane came out to even the odds, he did so in a walking boot for a BROKEN ankle, leaving the door open for The Bludgeon Brothers to retain their titles.

Team Hell No kick off SmackDown LIVE on “Miz TV”
>Just days before they challenge The Bludgeon Brothers for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at WWE Extreme Rules, Daniel Bryan & Kane will be joining The Miz for what looks to be a must-see edition of “Miz TV” that will kick off SmackDown LIVE tonight at 8/7 C.
>There’s no love lost between Bryan and The Awesome One, as the leader of The “Yes!” Movement looks to get his hands on The A-Lister, especially after Harper & Rowan’s attacks led to The Miz eliminating Bryan from the Gauntlet Match for a WWE Championship opportunity. Will Bryan be able to keep his hands off The Awesome One and focus on The Bludgeon Brothers, or will The Miz eat a punch to the face from his longtime rival?
AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura to battle on SmackDown LIVE tonight
>The legendary rivalry between WWE Champion AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura featured memorable battles taking place at WWE Money in the Bank, the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia, and The Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania. Now, Styles and Nakamura will collide once again on SmackDown LIVE tonight.
>Both Superstars have huge matches scheduled for this Sunday at WWE Extreme Rules; Styles is defending his WWE Championship against Rusev, and Nakamura is challenging Jeff Hardy for the United States Title. Before they get to Pittsburgh this Sunday, however, they’ll have to write the latest chapter in their intense conflict.
>Who will emerge victorious from this pay-per-view caliber showdown – The Phenomenal One or The King of Strong Style? Find out tomorrow night on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
Asuka and James Ellsworth square off in a Lumberjack Match
>Last Tuesday, Asuka and James Ellsworth competed in a battle of the sexes that ended in dubious fashion after Ellsworth led Asuka on a wild goose chase, culminating in a double count-out and The Empress of Tomorrow getting blindsided by Carmella.
>SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige sought to give the WWE Universe a decisive end to the match, so she immediately scheduled a rematch for tonight. This time, there will be nowhere for Ellsworth to run, as the SmackDown Women’s division will be surrounding the ring for a Lumberjack Match. Ellsworth is oozing confidence ahead of this battle, looking past The Empress of Tomorrow and challenging other famous female sports icons, including tennis star Serena Williams, auto racing's Danica Patrick and the WNBA's Diana Taurasi:

Can Tye Dillinger defeat Samoa Joe?
>Last Tuesday, in a WWE.com Exclusive video, R-Truth asked Tye Dillinger to form a tag team. While Dillinger declined, saying he wanted to focus on being a singles competitor, Truth ended up helping (or possibly hindering) The Perfect 10 by calling out Samoa Joe on Dillinger’s behalf.
>While The Perfect 10 seemed reluctant to step up at first, he got a little more confident when Joe got in his face, saying there was only one way to find out who the better man is. What will happen when these two Superstars square off?
Sin Cara looks for payback on Andrade “Cien” Almas
>Several weeks ago, Andrade “Cien” Almas blindsided Sin Cara with a vicious attack that left the masked man unable to compete. Sin Cara has been cleared for competition and is ready to get retribution on his former friend tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
>What will happen when Sin Cara and El Idolo finally meet inside the squared circle? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
RAW - 7/9/18
Snooze Style Evoled Edition
Potty crasher
>Kevin Owens, Braun Strowman’s not finished with you. After becoming a target of The Monster Among Men, KO found himself in a foul predicament when Strowman trapped him inside a portable toilet and knocked the potty off the stage. It was gross, and judging by Owens’ expression afterward, the incident stung more than his nostrils.
>Mr. Monster in the Bank tends to stick to his prey like a great white shark in a Steven Spielberg flick or, perhaps more appropriately in this case, like flies on you-know-what. Expect more of that signature Strowman destruction at KO’s expense this week.
One versus all (but mainly Bobby Lashley)
>Whether you consider him a proud, fighting Superstar or simply overconfident, you have to admit that Roman Reigns would have fared better against The Revival this past Monday night if he had tagged in his partner, Bobby Lashley.
>Already battle-weary after teaming with Seth Rollins against Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre, Reigns refused to tag in Lashley during their match against Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder, “Top Guys” who sought to prove they earned that moniker in a rematch against the warring partners.
>The merciless Revival ultimately got themselves disqualified, and when they continued the brutality after the bell, Lashley literally turned his back on The [LOUD BOOING].
>Reigns and Lashley are set to go one-on-one for the first time ever at WWE Extreme Rules, but based on their recent history, don’t be surprised if they get a little impatient Monday night.
The doctor is in
>Unknowingly, Sasha Banks and Bayley were forced to attend “friendship counseling” together this past Monday night with the returning Dr. Shelby, who invited the former besties into “The Friend Zone” for some “Honesty Theater.” To the doctor’s surprise, The Boss and The Huggаble One might be even more combustible than the duo he originally brought together several years ago, Team Hell No (the reunited Daniel Bryan & Kane are doing just fine right now over on SmackDown LIVE).
>Will we see any progress from Bayley and Sasha this week, or are the one-time BFFs even worse off than before?
No apologies
>After Constable Baron Corbin didn’t get the apology he wanted from Finn Bálor on Monday night for their tag team failure the week prior, the pair took their rivalry to social media, and following an intensely personal back-and-forth in which Corbin called into question Bálor’s toughness and even his in-ring accomplishments before WWE, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle made Bálor vs. Corbin official for WWE Extreme Rules. Now, WWE’s first Universal Champion will have a chance to prove what he can truly do when he battles The Constable.
>Will Bálor bring the fight to Corbin before their newly sanctioned match, or will Corbin use his authority to keep The Extraordinary Man at bay?

Independence Day Edition
Team Hell No to kick off SmackDown LIVE
>Last Tuesday, the WWE Universe was stunned by the surprise reunion of Team Hell No, as Kane returned to help Daniel Bryan fend off The Bludgeon Brothers, earning the two a SmackDown Tag Team Title Match against Harper & Rowan at Extreme Rules in the process.
>WWE.com has confirmed that Team Hell No will kick off tonight's edition of SmackDown LIVE. What will Bryan and Kane have to say as their showdown with the mallet-wielding titans approaches?
AJ Styles takes on Aiden English
>Two weeks ago, WWE Champion AJ Styles found out he’d be defending his title against Rusev at WWE Extreme Rules after The Bulgarian Brute won a grueling Gauntlet Match. The Phenomenal One sent a message to his challenger by decking Aiden English when The Maestro of Mayhem went for a handshake before pulling his hand back.
>Tonight on SmackDown LIVE, English will be out to soften up the WWE Champion for The Lion of Bulgaria at WWE Extreme Rules. Will he succeed, or will Styles show Rusev what lies ahead for him?
Jeff Hardy issues an Independence Day United States Open Challenge
>After Shinsuke Nakamura was not cleared to compete last week, United States Champion Jeff Hardy decided to issue an open challenge for his star-spangled title. SAnitY’s Eric Young answered the challenge, but a brawl BROKE out between his cohorts and The Usos, which turned the battle into a Six-Man Tag Team showdown.
>On the eve of America’s birthday, The Charismatic Enigma is issuing an Independence Day United States Open Challenge. Who will step up to answer the call?
Becky Lynch battles Peyton Royce
>Becky Lynch will be looking to go 2-for-2 against The IIconics tonight when she faces Peyton Royce. Though she came up just short in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, The Irish Lass Kicker bounced back with a win over Billie Kay two weeks ago, forcing her to tap out to the excruciating Dis-arm-her.
>Can Royce avoid the same fate, or will Lynch continue to push her way back into the SmackDown Women’s Title picture?
Reminder that Billie is superior
Asuka goes one-on-one with James Ellsworth
>James Ellsworth may have dug himself a hole he can’t get out. Tonight on SmackDown, Ellsworth will go one-on-one with Asuka.
>Ellsworth returned at WWE Money in the Bank to help Carmella retain her SmackDown Women’s Title against The Empress of Tomorrow, and he hasn’t let anyone forget it since. Last week, he took to the ring to call out Asuka. Unfortunately, she was with her family in Japan, but SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige was happy to oblige Ellsworth and make the match for this week.
>Is Ellsworth ready for Asuka?
Does anyone give a shit?
The New Day face off in the First Annual Third of July Pancake Eating Contest
>Before the grills are ignited and the hot dogs are cooked on the Fourth of July, The New Day are ready to scarf down a heaping helping of their favorite BREAKfast treats in the First Annual Third of July Pancake Eating Contest on SmackDown LIVE.
>Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E will be competing against each other to see who can eat the most pancakes in the start of a new tradition. Who will emerge victorious? Will they have any room for barbecue tomorrow? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
UNCOOKED - 7/2/2018
Bailey goes nuclear Edition
With friends like these …
>Bayley finally snapped on Sasha Banks last week, but Raw General Manager Kurt Angle isn’t about to let the fracturing friendship between the two former champions explode into outright hostility just yet. Following The Huggаble One’s assault, Angle informed each woman individually that they would have to undergo counseling in order to keep their jobs as Raw Superstars. What those sessions will entail, of course, remains to be seen. But either way, it seems this road has reached a fork as pivotal as it is unusual.
Fight forever
>Seth Rollins might be Intercontinental Champion again if it wasn’t for Drew McIntyre, who provided a pivotal interference that saved Dolph Ziggler’s title reign in the main event of Raw last week. He might also be a smear on the mat at this point if it wasn’t for Roman Reigns, who came to his brother’s aid to drive away Ziggler and McIntyre as they prepared to administer a post-match beating to Rollins. Now, two teams who had thus far managed to avoid each other are sizing each other up in the first salvo of what could be an epic conflict. Rollins might not be a champion, but there could be a fight on the horizon all the same.
Bliss interrupted
>The looming threat of Ronda Rousey’s return from suspension hasn’t done anything to dampen Alexa Bliss’ fun as Raw Women’s Champion, though a combination of Natalya and a returning Nia Jax certainly reminded Little Miss Bliss that she has no shortage of enemies in Rowdy Ronda’s absence. Jax might be the most ominous threat, as she’s already slated to challenge for the Raw Women’s Title at Extreme Rules, but Bliss has thus far focused more on running down the absent Rousey than closing ranks. Can Alexa set her mind to protecting her title? Or is she being pulled in too many directions at once to mount a strong defense?
B-Team blues
>The B-Team’s remarkable Cinderella run continues, as Curtis Axel scored a victory over “Woken” Matt Hardy in advance of Axel & Bo Dallas’ Raw Tag Team Title Match at Extreme Rules. The DELETErs of Worlds gave due props for The Axe Man’s “fluke” win with their signature Woken O and have already gone on the record as being fans of The B-Team’s cosplay. But the fun and games will likely end when the titles are on the line; the only question is whether The B-Team can come to the realization in time to save themselves from deletion.
… Who needs enemies?
>Kevin Owens getting onstage with Shania Twain was about the only bright spot of his week, as Braun Strowman made his Monday a pretty rough affair. Despite winning a tag team match as KO’s unlikely partner, Mr. Monster in the Bank opted not to reciprocate Owens’ offer of friendship, instead chasing him throughout the arena and flipping his car over in the parking lot. Clearly, Owens’ attempts to get on Strowman’s good side have done more harm than good. Can KO evade The Monster Among Men’s gleeful wrath, or is he in for more of the same? Raw airs live Monday at 8/7 C on USA Network.

Seth Rollins battles Dolph Ziggler in Intercontinental Championship rematch
> After answering Seth Rollins’ Intercontinental Championship Open Challenge, Dolph Ziggler unseated The Architect to capture the Intercontinental Championship — thanks in no small part to an assist from his imposing accomplice, Drew McIntyre, as well as two handfuls of tights.
>Rollins immediately invoked his rematch clause and will face the aggressive Ziggler in a title bout on Raw. Can Rollins become Team Red’s fighting champion once more?
Who else will battle to become Brock Lesnar’s next challenger?
> This past Monday night, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle revealed that there would be a multi-person match at WWE Extreme Rules, with the winner going on to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.
>Thus far, Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley have been named as competitors in this mysterious match-up, with more Superstars yet to be revealed. On Saturday, WWE.com published a poll asking the WWE Universe who they would like to see in this bout, a question Angle also posed on Twitter. The posts, however, drew the ire of Lesnar’s advocate Paul Heyman, who lashed out at both Angle and WWE.com editorial staff for the “clickbait.
>What will be the fallout from this social media altercation on Raw?
==What does Nia Snax have planned for
אלכסה בליס?==
> Ronda Rousey’s frustration after Alexa Bliss cost her the Raw Women’s Championship at WWE Money in the Bank by cashing in her contract and winning the title resulted in a rampage that earned The Baddest Woman on the Planet a 30-day suspension from Raw.
>Nia Jax, meanwhile, is recovering from Little Miss Bliss’ briefcase-assisted onslaught in preparation for her rematch against her former best friend at WWE Extreme Rules.
>Will The Irresistible Force knock The Merchant off her Shekel sack before that showdown?
KO and The Constable forge powerful alliance
> Kevin Owens and Constable Baron Corbin defeated the seemingly unstoppable team of “Mr. Monster in the Bank” Braun Strowman and Finn Bálor in this past Monday night’s main event.
>Neither Bálor nor The Monster Among Men are known to take losses lightly — especially when it comes to Superstars like KO and Corbin. Will the unexpected allies retaliate on Raw in San Diego?
Where do Sasha Banks and Bayley go from here?
>Sasha Banks and Bayley are friends no more. After failing to get on the same page during their tag team loss to The riotttttttttt Squad, the former besties brawled in the locker room area, and when The Boss sped away in her car, leaving The booable one fuming in the parking lot, it was clear that months of tension between the longtime friends had reached a boiling point.
>Now that it seems like they won’t be working out their differences, is another physical confrontation inevitable?
>Don’t miss Monday Night Raw live at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Jeff Hardy to defend the United States Title against Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown LIVE
>The United States Championship will be contested tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
>After exchanging verbal blows over social media two weeks ago, the first-ever showdown between Jeff Hardy and Shinsuke Nakamura ended with The Artist getting himself disqualified and delivering a fierce post-match assault on his war torn opponent.
>In the wake of the contest, both Superstars continued their war of words.
>Now, by order of SmackDown General Manager Paige, the extreme titleholder will defend the U.S Title against his underhanded adversary.
>Will Hardy see through Nakamura’s blistering offense and underhanded tactics? Or will The King of Strong Style close his eyes and take the star-spangled title? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on SmackDown LIVE on the USA.
The Bludgeon Brothers to appear on “Miz TV”
>Last week, Daniel Bryan was on a roll in the Gauntlet Match and appeared to be on his way to a WWE Championship Match until The Bludgeon Brothers arrived to batter him. Harper & Rowan’s attack allowed The Miz to slide into the fray and immediately drop The Beard with a Skull-Crashing Finale to eliminate him from the battle.
>Perhaps as a show of gratitude, The Miz has invited the SmackDown Tag Team Champions to appear on “Miz TV” tonight. The Bludgeon Brothers are men of few words – will they have anything to say to The A-Lister? And Daniel Bryan will surely be looking for payback after last week’s beatdown. Could The Miz’s talk show provide him the outlet to strike?
Becky Lynch goes one-on-one with Peyton Royce
>Becky Lynch will be looking to go 2-for-2 against The IIconics tonight when she faces Peyton Royce. Though she came up short in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, The Irish Lass Kicker bounced back with a win over Billie Kay last Tuesday, forcing her to tap out to the excruciating Dis-arm-her.
>Can Royce avoid the same fate, or will Lynch continue to push her way back into the SmackDown Women’s Title picture?
Reminder that Billie is superior
Xavier Woods of The New Day squares off with Rusev
>Rusev is riding high after winning the Gauntlet Match last week to earn himself a WWE Championship Match against AJ Styles at WWE Extreme Rules, but Styles wasn’t the target of The Bulgarian Brute’s tweets over the weekend. Instead, Rusev zeroed in on Xavier Woods of The New Day.
>What will happen when these two Superstars put down their phones and clash inside the squared circle?
The cast of Netflix’s “GLOW” are coming to SmackDown LIVE, and they have a message for Naomi
>The WWE Universe got a surprise on Monday night when members from the cast of Netflix’s “GLOW” revealed they’ll be stopping by SmackDown LIVE tonight.
>Britt Baron, who plays Justine on the hit comedy show, which has its second season premiere on Friday, made the announcement in a Twitter post, mentioning that they have their eye on Naomi.

NXT Takeover Chicago II
BODY WAS TOO LONG EDITION
NXT Champion Aleister Black vs. Lars Sullivan
>With one swift and remarkably powerful kick, Aleister Black flattened every Superstar to cross his path on the way to becoming NXT Champion at TakeOver: New Orleans. Black’s nascent title reign, however, will be in jeopardy at TakeOver: Chicago when he defends the crown against a mammoth who is unlike anyone else he has faced, Lars Sullivan.
>Sullivan made that exact, thunderous point when he ambushed the champion on the May 30 edition of NXT. As Black tried to fight off Sullivan, The Dutch Destroyer uncorked his great equalizer, the Black Mass spinning heel kick. Proving to be every bit as quick as he is powerful, Sullivan shockingly caught Black’s strike before dropping him with the Freak Accident.
>The stunning scene was a rare example of Black being unable to decimate a foe with his signature move, and it sowed doubt that The Dutch Destroyer will have any better success against Sullivan when they clash for the title in The Windy City. What's more, Sullivan wrecked Black again on the June 13 edition of NXT, trouncing the champion with three emphatic Freak Accidents during a harrowing confrontation.
>Has The Freak — who prides himself on being not only a physically intense juggernaut, but also a thinking-man’s competitor inside the ring — cracked the code of Black? Or will the equally dominant Dutch Destroyer find a way to drop the behemoth — with or without Black Mass — en route to retaining NXT’s top crown?
>Don’t miss this collision between two of the black-and-yellow brand’s most feared Superstars when it goes down at NXT TakeOver: Chicago, streaming live tonight on WWE Network at 8 ET/5 PT!
Johnny Gargano vs. Tommaso Ciampa (Chicago Street Fight)
>Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa’s battles have rarely been contained by the ring, but that won’t be a concern at NXT TakeOver: Chicago — the site of #DIY’s unforgettable implosion — when the two bitter rivals square off in a Chicago Street Fight.
>The former best friends have remained at each other’s throats since Johnny Wrestling defeated the psychotic Blackheart at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans in a classic, brutal Unsanctioned Match. Ciampa, who refused to accept the loss, savagely attacked Gargano weeks later, landing his nemesis in a medical facility and a neck brace.
>From there, the self-ordained “Tommy Sports-Entertainment” created more grief for Gargano and his friends and family, most notably Johnny’s wife, Candice LeRae. Ciampa taunted LeRae in the aftermath of his heinous attack, and she even got caught in the crossfire when Gargano returned from his career-threatening injury to confront Ciampa (against LeRae’s wishes) when Ciampa sent Johnny Wrestling flying off the ring apron and into his wife.
>LeRae doesn’t support the idea of Gargano competing in the Chicago Street Fight and continuing his war with Ciampa. When Gargano received the match contract, LeRae flatly told her husband that she is “done with this,” adding that the rivalry with Ciampa has turned Gargano into everything he despises.
>What ramifications will Johnny Wrestling’s decision have on his career and his personal life? What type of mayhem is in store when Gargano and Ciampa collide in a lawless Chicago Street Fight in the same city that Ciampa betrayed Gargano one year ago? Perhaps most important of all, will Gargano still bolieve it was all worth it when the dust settles in Chicago?
NXT Women’s Champion Shayna "Mean Bayleу" Baszler vs. Nikki " BEST IN THE GALAXY" Cross
>Very few Superstars are bold enough to step to NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler, let alone temporarily steal her title to boot.
>Enter The Queen of Spades’ challenger at NXT TakeOver: Chicago, Nikki Cross.
>Enraged when Baszler attacked Dakota Kai after retaining the NXT Women’s Title against The Captain of Team Kick on the May 30 edition of WWE NXT, Cross rushed to the ring, roughed Baszler up, briefly stole her title and then “defeated” her in an impromptu “match” where she appointed Kai as the referee. Of course, none of this was official, but Cross celebrated as though she had just defeated the NXT Women’s Champion, while Baszler was left fuming.
>Incensed, The Queen of Spades returned the following week to tell Cross that she could put her to sleep in a heartbeat and that the only place that Cross is considered better than Baszler is in Cross’ “whacked-out little mind.” Yet, when push came to shove, Cross’ unorthodox and relentless onslaught bested Baszler’s barrage, prompting her to get the edge in yet another exchange.
>Will Baszler counter Cross’ chaotic ways when they meet at NXT TakeOver: Chicago? Or will Cross prove to be The Queen of Spades’ toughest challenger to date by ending her dominant reign as champion?
Ream 6/11 poo in the big dog edition
WWE Raw preview, June 11, 2018: Roman Reigns accepts Jinder Mahal's challenge
Live on Raw, Roman Reigns will accept Jinder Mahal’s challenge and the Team Red competitors in the Men’s and Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Matches will compete in Fatal 4-Way bouts to gain key momentum. Plus, Ronda Rousey and Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax will meet face-to-face!
>Strowman, Bálor, Roode and Owens collide
One week after Braun Strowman defeated Bobby Roode and Finn Bálor hit Kevin Owens with a breathtaking Coup de Grâce off a ladder, all four Superstars will meet in a Fatal 4-Way Match to seize momentum before the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
This confrontation will surely give the WWE Universe a taste of the mayhem that awaits when these four competitors face SmackDown LIVE’s The Miz, Samoa Joe, Rusev and a member of The New Day in a bout where a World Championship opportunity literally hangs in the balance.
<Will Natalya and Alexa Bliss be able to compete in a Fatal 4-Way Match?
On the same night Natalya suffered a knee injury during her bout against Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss also seemed to suffer a leg injury during the night’s Six-Woman Tag Team Match.
Few details have been released regarding the condition of either The Queen of Harts or Little Miss Bliss, but both Superstars are nevertheless set to battle Sasha Banks and Ember Moon in a Fatal 4-Way Match on Raw. Who will prevail before all four women face Team Blue’s Naomi, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Lana in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match?
<Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax meet face-to-face before their title clash
Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax’s challenge to Ronda Rousey at the NBCUniversal Upfront last month was amicable enough. Since then, however, things have gotten downright tense between them, thanks in no small part to the pot-stirring machinations of Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon during their WWE Money in the Bank contract signing.
One week after The Irresistible Force defeated the injured Natalya — Rousey’s longtime friend and training partner — Jax is set to meet The Baddest Woman on the Planet face-to-face on Raw. Will a brawl ensue as Rousey prepares for her first title opportunity in WWE?
>Roman Reigns accepts Jinder Mahal’s challenge for a match this Monday on Raw
Jinder Mahal & Elias stole a tag team win from Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins last Monday on Raw. Later in the night, The [LOUD BOOING] got a piece of The Modern Day Maharaja in a backstage encounter, and now it appears the WWE Universe won’t have to wait until WWE Money in the Bank to see the archrivals square off.
Friday on a WWE.com Exclusive, Mahal challenged Reigns to a match for Monday Night Raw, and the former WWE Champion accepted one day later. With animosity between the two Superstars at an all-time high, will there will be anything left of either competitor by the June 17 pay-per-view?
>How will Raw’s new “Constable” settle into his new role?
Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon has named Baron Corbin the new “Constable” of Raw with the intent of keeping Raw General Manager Kurt Angle in line. He has already been enjoying his new position, which has thus far included berating referees and spoiling Booley, Sasha Banks and Ember Moon’s victory party, and something tells us he’s just getting started. How will The Lone Wolf assert himself next?

Low effort OP with the show story just linked because fuck it. At this point, if the thread ends up with less than 100 replies by the time 205 finishes, I think the weekly show threads are going to turn into multi-week generals that last til posting limit, because it's really not worth making a new one each time with the show having fallen so far as to make everyone lose interest.
205 is slower with posting updates so no show preview until later.
Former ECW alumni Rockin' Rebel pulls a Benoit
We all know it was you again Sullivan
>Police were called to a home in West Goshen, PA this morning just after 6:30 am where authorities found 2 people dead and have confirmed it is being investigated as a murder-suicide. There was reportedly a shooting and police were called.
>The local affiliates in Philadelphia are reporting that a husband and wife were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide on their Chester County home on Friday morning. Local authorities were called to the house at Isabel Lane and North Five Points Road, around 6:30 a.m to make the discovery. Their names were not included in the news reports but we have confirmed through his friends that, unfortunately, the dead bodies are of Rebel and his wife.
>Rockin Rebel might be remembered for his time in early ECW. This is really a sad story and some people in the pro wrestling community are already sending their condolences to the family.

Another Lifeless RAW Edition
The Monster Among Men faces The Snorious One
> As Bobby Roode learned when he absorbed an unexpected beatdown from Braun Strowman this past Monday night, it will be every man for himself in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, where eight Superstars from Raw and SmackDown LIVE collide for a chance to earn a World Championship opportunity at the time and place of their choosing.
>But that’s WWE Money in the Bank. Monday on Raw, The Glorious One will stand across the ring from the goliath who calls himself “Monster Money in the Bank.” Who came up with that, jesus christ Can Roode leave Houston unscathed?
Former Universal Champions lock up
> Speaking of the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, two other competitors in that high-stakes contest will be in action when Finn "Just happy to be here" Bálor takes on Kevin Owens.
>Owens inserted himself into this past Monday’s match pitting Bálor against Braun Strowman, and WWE’s first Universal Champion seemed primed to defeat The Monster Among Men until KO intervened and caused a disqualification. Retribution will surely be on the Irishman’s mind when he squares off against his bitter foe on Raw.
Natalya stands up to Nia Jax
>This past Monday night, Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax toyed with a local competitor to show Ronda Rousey the torment that awaits her in their title bout at WWE Money in the Bank, and when The Baddest Woman on the Planet confronted The Irresistible Force, Jax simply laughed in Rousey’s face and walked away — clearly unconvinced that the UFC veteran represents a true challenge in a WWE ring.
>After witnessing Nia’s disrespect toward her longtime friend and training partner, Natalya will lock up with the cocky champion on Raw in Houston.
Alexa was right
Who will be next to challenge The DELETErs of Worlds?
> After The B-Team’s barbecue devolved into a coleslaw-slinging melee, the frustrated duo approached Raw General Manager Kurt Angle to demand a Raw Tag Team Championship opportunity against “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt. However, on the red brand, opportunities are earned, so on Raw in Houston, Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas will be among the participants of a Tag Team Battle Royal, in which the last team standing will be next in line to challenge Hardy & Wyatt for their titles.
>Regardless of what you think of them, The B-Team have impressed in the ring recently. Could The “B” in B-Team actually stand for “Best” when this match is over?

Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe to clash for final spot in Money in the Bank Ladder Match
> After defeating Jeff Hardy last Tuesday, Daniel Bryan has earned the right to face longtime rival Samoa Joe in a battle for the final place in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
>The two engaged in countless hard-hitting battles on the independent circuit that became the stuff of legend during their tumultuous history that spans longer than a decade-and-a-half. However, The Beard and The Samoan Submission Machine eventually went on divergent career paths, with fans hoping they would once again cross paths inside the ring. When Joe joined WWE and signed with NXT in 2015, the door opened for his rivalry with Bryan to be renewed. However, it seemed to be shut forever when Bryan announced his retirement from competition in Feb. 2016.
>But with Bryan returning to full-time competition this spring and Samoa Joe arriving to Team Blue in the Superstar Shake-up, this rivalry will no longer be a dream. Joe seemed eager to remind Bryan of the punishment that awaits him after Bryan’s victory over Hardy. How will the leader of The “Yes!” Movement counter Joe’s relentless offense?
>What will happen when these longtime adversaries clash once again in a dream match the WWE Universe has been waiting for? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
The New Day battle The Miz & The Bar in Six-Man Tag Team action
> After a controversial ending to last week’s match between Big E and The Miz, The New Day will square off with The A-Lister and The Bar on SmackDown LIVE.
>Big E had The Awesome One on the ropes last Tuesday until Sheamus and Cesaro made their presence felt, brawling with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, and the distraction allowed The Miz to steal the victory.
>Will The New Day get payback, or will The Miz and The Bar once again have the upper hand?
Is Carmella ready for Asuka?
YES SHE IS
> SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella has a date with destiny on June 17 at WWE Money in the Bank when she faces Asuka.
>Despite facing tall odds against The Empress of Tomorrow, Carmella remains confident that she is not only better than Asuka, but ready to defeat her in Chicago. Will The Princess of Staten Island continue to boast this Tuesday?
Will AJ Styles figure into the outcome of Shinsuke Nakamura's match against Tye Dillinger?
> WWE Champion AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura unloaded on each other in a huge brawl last week, capped off with The King of Strong Style clobbering the champion with a steel chair and a Kinshasa. Nakamura followed up the attack by counting to 10, revealing that they’d be facing off in a Last Man Standing Match for the title at WWE Money in the Bank.
>Speaking of the number 10, SmackDown General Manager Paige announced on Twitter that Nakamura will clash with the Perfect 10 Tye Dillinger on this week's SmackDown LIVE following a heated exchange on Twitter between the two Superstars.
>Will The Artist's bitter rivalry with the WWE Champion play into the outcome of this explosive match? More to the point, after this brutal slugfest last week, is another melee between the WWE Money in the Bank opponents inevitable?
>Find out on Smackdown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Second Chance Edition
> After failing to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match in their first attempts, seven Superstars will clash in a Last Chance Women’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Gauntlet Match to attain the final Raw spot in the harrowing Ladder Match on Sunday, June 17.
>The match will start with two Superstars in the ring, and a new Superstar will enter the bout whenever a competitor is defeated. The winner will be the last woman standing after all seven Superstars have entered the fray.
>With all three members of The riotttttttttt Squad in this match, plus warring former best friends Booley and Sasha Banks, sparks are sure to fly. But don’t count out the veteran tenacity of Mickie James or the powerhouse offense of Dana Brooke.
>With a “Money” opportunity on the line, these seven Superstars are sure to leave it all in the ring. Who will be the last woman standing? Tune in to Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network, to find out.
The Kingslayer defends his title against The Modern Day Maharaja
> Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns might have defeated Jinder Mahal and Kevin Owens this past Monday night on Raw, but they hardly looked like victors when the dust settled. Following the match, The Modern Day Maharaja lashed out with a steel chair barrage that felled both Shield brothers.
>In the wake of that ferocious beatdown, The [LOUD BOOING] will have an opportunity for retribution when he meets Mahal one-on-one at WWE Money in the Bank. However, Rollins — ever the fighting champion — will be first to battle Mahal when he defends his workhorse title against the former WWE Champion this coming Monday night on Raw.
>Can The Architect continue to build his legacy as one of the most impressive titleholders in recent history, or will Mahal carry the Intercontinental Championship to WWE Money in the Bank? To find out, tune in to Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network.
How will Nia Jax respond to Ronda Rousey’s threat?
> Raw Women’s Champion Nia Jax’s challenge to Ronda Rousey at the NBCUniversal Upfront was amicable enough, but the relationship between these two beloved Superstars seems to have cooled as of late, thanks in no small part to the machinations of Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon.
>After Stephanie stirred the pot during the Raw Women’s Title Match Contract Signing for WWE Money in the Bank, The Baddest Woman on the Planet vowed to take The Irresistible Force’s title — and her arm — on Sunday, June 17.
>Can Jax counter Rousey’s bold words before their anticipated title clash?
Is Braun Strowman destined to become Mr. Money in the Bank?
> This past Monday night, Braun Strowman faced Finn Bálor one-on-one for the first time ever on Raw, and despite a valiant effort from WWE’s first Universal Champion, The Monster Among Men secured a decisive victory. Undoubtedly, the rest of the participants in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match were paying very close attention to this bout’s outcome.
>Will Strowman’s strong performance change the strategy for the other Superstars vying for the coveted Men’s Money in the Bank contract? Moreover, can anyone slow the momentum of this seemingly unstoppable juggernaut?
What payback does Bobby Lashley have in store for Sami Zayn?
> Last week, Sami Zayn introduced the WWE Universe to Bobby Lashley’s “sisters” in an effort to sully the reputation of the returning Superstar, and even though Lashley at first seemed to take the mockery in stride — the siblings were three men in disguise, after all — the powerhouse pummeled the imposters after Zayn’s continued mockery, while Zayn scurried away to the relative safety of the entrance ramp.
>Lashley is as good-natured as they come, but Zayn might have gone too far by mocking his family. Might we see Lashley retaliate against the conniving co-founder of The “Yep!” Movement?

Big Cass suffered an injury during a WWE Live Event in Munich, Germany over the weekend, leading to SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige announcing a huge change to Money in the Bank qualification. Tomorrow night, Daniel Bryan will face United States Champion Jeff Hardy one-on-one. The winner of that battle will advance to face Samoa Joe next Tuesday in a Men's Money in the Bank Qualifying Match.

>Daniel Bryan and Jeff Hardy to battle in a match with WWE Money in the Bank implications tonight on SmackDown LIVE
SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige has revealed that Big Cass is not cleared to compete after suffering an injury, which has led to a second chance at Money in the Bank qualification for two popular Superstars.
The winner will face @SamoaJoe NEXT WEEK for an opportunity to qualify and enter the Men’s #MITB Ladder Match.
United States Champion Jeff Hardy came up short in the first of Team Blue’s qualifying matches against The Miz, while Daniel Bryan was defeated by Rusev in another qualifier. The winner of Bryan vs. Hardy will take on Samoa Joe during the May 29 edition of SmackDown in a battle for the final spot in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Who will get a second opportunity to qualify for Money in the Bank: Jeff Hardy or Daniel Bryan? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>The New Day to join The Miz on “Miz TV” during SmackDown LIVE
The New Day emerged victorious over The Bar last Tuesday in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match, which left the WWE Universe wondering one thing: Which member of the pancake-devouring trio will enter the melee on June 17 in Chicago?
One Superstar is vowing to get to the bottom of that mystery – The Miz. The A-Lister invited The New Day to join him on “Miz TV” tonight on a video posted to Twitter Friday afternoon, where he promised to get the exclusive on which New Day member will try and climb to new heights.
Will The Awesome One get the scoop, or will The New Day continue to play mind games with the Money in the Bank field?
<Lana and Billie Kay to clash in Women’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Match tonight on SmackDown LIVE
One of SmackDown LIVE’s remaining spots in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match will be decided tonight when Lana clashes with The IIconics’ Billie Kay.
The Ravishing Russian is looking to join her husband Rusev, who has already qualified for the Men’s Ladder Match, in Chicago. Lana is already having visions of she and her husband lording their contracts over Team Blue as Mr. & Mrs. Money in the Bank.
However, Billie Kay will not be a pushover. The Femme Fatale, in a word association game with Peyton Royce, declared that she is a winner, the Money in the Bank briefcase is a perfect accessory, the contract will make her a champion and the future will be, of course, IIconic.
Who will advance to Chicago and the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match?
<Naomi to face Sonya Deville in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match tonight on SmackDown LIVE
Sonya Deville asked for another opportunity to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and she will get one tonight on SmackDown LIVE, when she faces Naomi.
The former Absolution member bolieves that because Mandy Rose was the one who tapped out to Becky Lynch’s Dis-arm-her in last week’s Triple Threat qualifier, she still deserved another chance to advance to Chicago on June 17, taking to social media to state her case.

Alternate title: THE FAMILY COMMUNITY
WWE Raw preview, May 21, 2018: Sami Zayn invites Bobby Lashley's sisters to Raw
According to Sami Zayn, Bobby Lashley hasn’t been truthful about his past, and to expose the powerhouse to the WWE Universe, he’s inviting Lashley’s three older sisters to Monday Night Raw in Albany, N.Y.
>How will Sami Zayn “expose” Bobby Lashley?
In a sit-down interview with Renee Young on the May 7 edition of Raw, Bobby Lashley revealed that his positive outlook and unmatched athleticism are owed largely to being raised alongside three unique older sisters, who remain a large part of his life today.
However, Sami Zayn — who sustained “vertigo” as a result of Lashley’s signature stalling suplex — claims that there are details surrounding Lashley’s past that the former ECW Champion has chosen to omit.
Zayn revealed this past Monday night that he’s reached out to Lashley’s sisters via Facebook and that his true story is far different from what we’ve been told. The outspoken Superstar has invited Lashley’s sisters to Raw in Albany, N.Y., so we can learn all about the “real” Bobby Lashley. What exactly does Zayn have planned?
>Will The [LOUD BOOING]’s rampage continue?
This past Monday night on Raw, Roman Reigns got some much-needed payback against Jinder Mahal — who cost The [LOUD BOOING] a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match — by pummeling The Modern Day Maharaja and then Spearing him through a wall.
The attack prevented Mahal from competing in the night’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Match main event — a bout won by his replacement, Kevin Owens.
Will we see another brutal confrontation between Reigns and Mahal this Monday night?
<Which Raw Superstars will join the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match?
The Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match is really starting to take shape, with Raw’s Alexa Bliss and SmackDown LIVE’s Becky Lynch joining Ember Moon and Charlotte Flair in a match to determine who will get a Women’s Championship opportunity at the time and place of their choosing.
There are two Team Red opportunities remaining. Who will be next to qualify? We’ll find out on Raw.
>How will Raw’s male Superstars gain “Money” momentum?
The Team Red side of the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match is set, with Finn Bálor, Braun Strowman, Bobby Roode and Kevin Owens — who was granted a second chance to qualify for the bout by Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon — confirmed for the high-stakes confrontation on June 17.
These four Raw Superstars, The Miz, Rusev, a member of The New Day and a fourth SmackDown LIVE Superstar will slug it out for the life-changing contract, but with several weeks remaining until WWE Money in the Bank, all of these competitors will be looking to pull ahead of the pack as the event approaches. Who will stand tallest this week?
>Who will be next to challenge Seth Rollins?
Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins has already turned back Mojo Rawley and Kevin Owens in back-to-back Open Challenges, and he will likely continue this exciting tradition this week on Raw.
Superstars are undoubtedly lining up for their chance to unseat “Monday Night Rollins.” Will The Kingslayer’s reign come to an end at the hands of a surprise challenger?
<Nia Jax prepares to face The Baddest Woman on the Planet
Last Monday morning at the NBCUniversal Upfront in New York City, Nia Jax chose Ronda Rousey to be her next challenger for the Raw Women’s Championship, and Rousey agreed to do battle at WWE Money in the Bank on Sunday, June 17.
The encounter seemed amicable enough, but one has to wonder what’s going through the minds of The Irresistible Force and The Baddest Woman on the Planet as the bout approaches. Expect some fallout from last week’s challenge this Monday night.
Will Rowdy Ronda Rousey get buried by the rock's obese cousin?

The Mexican grappler was a standout in NXT, where he captured the NXT Championship and took part in several thrilling contests. After joining Team Blue in the Superstar Shake-up, Almas is out to show that he can hang with SmackDown LIVE’s elite.

While their issues have mainly been centered around tag team supremacy (and pancakes), the stakes have arguably never been higher for these five Superstars. Which team will claim victory? Which Superstar will join Braun Strowman, Finn Bálor, The Miz, Rusev, Bobby Roode and Kevin Owens in Chicago? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

>Two Raw opportunities remain for the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match
This past Monday, the WWE Universe bore witness as Braun Strowman became the first Superstar to qualify for the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, which will award the brave warrior able to climb a ladder and snatch the contract a World Championship opportunity at the time and place of his choosing. Finn Bálor joined The Monster Among Men in the anticipated bout later in the night, and SmackDown LIVE saw The Miz and Rusev qualify.
The Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match will feature four Raw Superstars and four competitors from SmackDown LIVE, meaning there are two red brand positions available. Who will seize these opportunities?
>A Moon rises and a Queen rules
Raw newcomer Ember Moon earned what many consider an upset victory when she defeated Sasha Banks and Ruby riotttttttttt to become the first Superstar to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Meanwhile, Charlotte Flair won her Qualifying Match the following night by defeating Peyton Royce.
Who else will represent Team Red in this high-stakes contest on Sunday, June 17, in Chicago?
>Will Roman Reigns get retribution against Jinder Mahal?
After defeating Samoa Joe at WWE Backlash, Roman Reigns came to Raw hungry for retribution against Brock Lesnar and another opportunity to claim the Universal Championship that has repeatedly eluded him.
Unfortunately, The [LOUD BOOING]’s defeat to Finn Bálor in this past Monday’s main event will keep Reigns from competing in the Men’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, meaning he will need to find another path to The Beast Incarnate.
But before then, he has some unfinished business with Jinder Mahal, who cost Reigns a victory in that Triple Threat Men’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Match. Will The Modern-Day Maharaja suffer the wrath of The [LOUD BOOING]?
>Bobby Lashley fights for his family
Last week, Bobby Lashley opened up like never before, discussing his relationship with his three strong-willed older sisters who helped turn him into the powerhouse he is today. These days, Lashley has an extended family, the WWE Universe, and he’s confident that “we’re going to have a lot of fun together.”
Now that Lashley has let us know who he is and what he stands for, what’s next for him? We’ll find out on Raw.
>Seth Rollins to defend the Intercontinental Title against Kevin Owens Monday night in London
Ever the fighting champion, Seth Rollins has defended his Intercontinental Title across four continents in the past three weeks, and he’s willing to put his prize on the line against anyone that answers the call.
On Saturday, The Kingslayer issued an Open Challenge for this coming Monday Night Raw, emanating from London’s O2 Arena. Ever the opportunist, Kevin Owens responded, taking the time to talk a little trash in the process. Rollins then replied to KO, stating very clearly that he planned to take Owens down on Monday night.

Raw preview, May 7, 2018: Has Reigns earned the right to once again challenge The Beast?
Roman Reigns scored a huge victory over Samoa Joe in the main event on WWE Backlash, and after the controversial outcome against Lesnar at the Greatest Royal Rumble event, many are calling him the “Uncrowned Universal Champion.” Is The [LOUD BOOING] destined to once again step into the belly of The Beast?
>Has Roman Reigns earned another opportunity at Universal Champion Brock Lesnar?
Roman Reigns essentially neutralized his controversial Steel Cage Match loss to Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at the Greatest Royal Rumble event by overcoming the all-out onslaught of Samoa Joe at WWE Backlash.
Will The [LOUD BOOING]’s victory finally put him in a position to battle The Beast for the Universal Championship? Or will other Superstars such as Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman or Bobby Lashley get a title opportunity after impressive performances at WWE Backlash?
>Who will qualify for Money in the Bank?
Speaking of the future, with WWE Backlash in the books, the focus shifts to the WWE Money in the Bank pay-per-view on June 17, an event where select male and female Superstars will have an opportunity to capture a world title contract to be cashed in any time they wish in the coming year.
The Miz has already announced he will be in a Qualifying Match Tuesday night on Smackdown LIVE. Will tonight’s Raw see the first Superstars qualify for the Men’s and Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Matches?
>Will The “Yep!” Movement fold or focus?
Last night, during Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn’s tag team showdown against the pulverizing tandem of Braun Strowman & Bobby Lashley, the toxic side of their relationship took over, and they turned on each other in an attempt to save their own skin.
>toxic

Fucking kill yourself.
Considering the storied history of the two Superstars as both friends and foes, will The “Yep!” Movement completely crumble? Or will they regroup and turn their frustrations on Raw General Manager Kurt Angle and the entire red brand?
<How will Booley and Sasha Banks survive The riotttttttttt Squad on their own?
Last week on Raw, Sasha Banks fell victim to the numbers game, as she was defeated by Ruby riotttttttttt thanks to the meddling riotttttttttt Squad, as Booley watched the match from backstage. Then at WWE Backlash, Sasha refused to have Booley’s back against riotttttttttt, leading to the same result.
It seems that Sasha and Booley will have to put their differences aside if they hope to survive their dangerous opposition.
Can The Boss finally hug it out with Booley? Or will The riotttttttttt Squad continue to run wild throughout Monday Night Raw?

SmackDown preview, May 8, 2018: Styles’ rivalry with Nakamura returns to SmackDown more dangerous than ever
In the wake of a volatile WWE Backlash pay-per-view, WWE Champion AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura remain embroiled in a bitter rivalry, and SmackDown LIVE braces for WWE Money in the Bank with three explosive Qualifying Matches.
>How will Styles and Nakamura settle their heated rivalry?
By doing the same shit they've been doing for over a month of course.
The bad blood between AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura reached new heights (or, more to the point, new lows) in their harrowing WWE Championship No Disqualification Match at WWE Backlash. When the two Superstars kicked each other below the belt in the heat of the moment, neither were able to answer the count, and their match was left without a winner.
How will SmackDown General Manager Paige address the unfinished business between the two bitter rivals? Or will they take matters in their own hands?
>Jeff Hardy takes on The Miz in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
After failing to recapture the Intercontinental Championship from Seth Rollins at WWE Backlash, The Miz announced that he will compete in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match tonight on SmackDown LIVE. His opponent will be none other than United States Champion Jeff Hardy, fresh off his exciting pay-per-view victory over Randy Orton.
Will The A-Lister have what it takes to overcome The Charismatic Enigma and earn an opportunity at another Money in the Bank contract on June 17?
<Charlotte Flair to battle Peyton Royce in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella proved her mettle at WWE Backlash when she took advantage of Charlotte Flair tweaking her leg to pick up the win in dominant fashion.
After promising to come back better than ever, The Queen prepares to compete in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match against Peyton Royce, who played an instrumental role in her losing the SmackDown Women’s Title. Will Flair reign supreme? Or will tonight’s qualifying match prove IIconic instead?
>it's a "tag team does singles matches instead of working their division" episode
>Daniel Bryan and Rusev to lock horns in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Daniel Bryan may have cut Big Cass down to size at WWE Backlash because fuck letting people have strong entrances and reappearances, the vegan midget needs a push, but that didn’t stop his opponent from unleashing a brutal post-match attack that left WWE’s “Yes!” Man in dire straits.
Tonight, Bryan returns to the blue brand to go head-to-head with Rusev in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match, but will he be in any condition to overcome The Bulgarian Brute? Tune in to SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C tonight on USA Network to witness all the fallout from WWE Backlash!

All in all a fun month ahead which should lead into an exciting Best Of the Super Juniors.

>Shinsuke Nakamura demands a public apology from AJ Styles
The WWE Championship Match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event ended in shocking fashion when both competitors were counted out by the official while brawling around the ringside area. That didn’t stop The Phenomenal One from unleashing his rage on The Artist, pummeling him with a steel chair and a Phenomenal Forearm on the arena floor. Though they’re facing off again for the title this Sunday at WWE Backlash, Nakamura is demanding a public apology from the champion for his actions in Saudi Arabia. Will The Artist get his wish? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
<Jeff Hardy to appear on “Miz TV”
United States Champion Jeff Hardy left Saudi Arabia still the United States Champion after a successful defense of his title against Raw’s Jinder Mahal, despite the meddling of Sunil Singh. The Charismatic Enigma can now turn his focus to Team Blue and the Superstars ready to try and take his star-spangled title.
But before Hardy gets back in the ring, he’ll have to face the hard-hitting questions of WWE’s A-Lister on “Miz TV.” How will The Miz try and throw Jeff Hardy off his game? Will the United States Champion be ready for whatever The Awesome One has planned?
>Charlotte Flair and Carmella lead trios in Six-Woman Tag Team action
The intensity in the SmackDown Women’s division is heating up as Charlotte Flair prepares to challenge SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella this Sunday at WWE Backlash. However, the two rivals aren’t waiting until Sunday to get into the ring. Both The Queen and The Princess of Staten Island will take part in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
Will Flair, Asuka & Becky Lynch reign supreme, or will the trio of Carmella & The IIconics show them what the future of Team Blue looks like?

WWE Photo
Just a few weeks removed from his return to the ring as a full-time Superstar, Daniel Bryan was putting in the performance of a lifetime during the first-ever 50-Man Greatest Royal Rumble Match. The leader of The “Yes!” Movement entered the bout at No. 1 and lasted for one hour and 16 minutes, obliterating the previous Royal Rumble Match record for longevity.
Big Cass, who entered the fray at No. 49, went right after the “little man” he’s targeted since his return to WWE. The seven-footer eventually dropped Bryan with a thunderous big boot and ended his unbelievable run by tossing him over the ropes to the arena floor. How will both men react to their encounter in Saudi Arabia? Will Big Cass revel in ruining Bryan’s big moment? Will Bryan be looking for payback just days before their showdown at WWE Backlash?

RAM 4/30 BRAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUN edition
WWE Raw preview, April 30, 2018: What's next for Braun Strowman after monumental Greatest Royal Rumble Match win?
The Monster Among Men overcame 49 other combatants to win the first-ever 50-Man Royal Rumble Match last night at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia. Who will be next to face the wrath of The Monster Among Men following that historic win? We’ll find out on Raw!
>Monster Among 49 Men makes history
Braun Strowman stood tall in the aftermath of the first-ever 50-Man Greatest Royal Rumble Match in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, winning the historic bout in front of a sold-out crowd at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium.
After conquering 49 other Superstars and WWE Legends, The Monster Among Men brings his Greatest Royal Rumble Championship and trophy to Raw. Who or what will Strowman destroy next after this monumental victory?
>Brock Lesnar bests Roman Reigns in controversial Steel Cage Match
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia became Suplex City at the Greatest Royal Rumble event, but despite The Beast Incarnate’s dominant showing against The [LOUD BOOING], his victory in the night’s Steel Cage Match came with no small amount of controversy.
When Reigns Speared Lesnar through the Steel Cage wall, it was The Beast who technically hit the ground — and therefore escaped the structure — first. As such, Lesnar was declared the winner and Reigns was, once again, turned back by The Conqueror.
However, that’s all in the past for Reigns, who needs to look ahead to his impending one-on-one battle with Samoa Joe next Sunday at WWE Backlash. How will he bounce back from his painful defeat and prepare for The Samoan Submission Machine?
>The Era of Wokenness begins
Friday night at the Greatest Royal Rumble event, “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt completed their “Expedition of Gold” by defeating Cesaro & Sheamus to procure the Raw Tag Team Championship.
Now, they bring their titles to Raw, live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. What “delights” might the duo known collectively as The DELETEr of Worlds have in store?
<Who will dare step to Ronda Rousey?
It might have cost Natalya’s team a victory in the 10-Woman Tag Team Match main event this past Monday night, but Ronda Rousey sent a powerful message to the Raw Women’s locker room by attacking Mickie James: You don’t mess with The Baddest Woman on the Planet, and you definitely don’t mess with her friends.
As Mickie recovers from Rousey’s excruciating armbar — an act of retribution after Mickie’s cheap shot on Natalya — how will she, Alexa Bliss and The riotttttttttt Squad respond to that act of aggression?
>The Architect leaves Saudi Arabia with the Intercontinental Championship
In an inter-brand battle of wills, Seth Rollins defended his Intercontinental Championship against Finn Bálor, Samoa Joe and The Miz in an incredible Ladder Match at the historic, first-ever Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia.
The Architect has retained his prize and kept WWE’s workhorse title on Raw, but with his title defense against The Miz forthcoming at WWE Backlash, will it stay there for long? And what will be Bálor’s next move on Team Red?

SmackDown LIVE preview, April 24, 2018: Daniel Bryan meets The A-Lister on “Miz TV”
During last week’s Superstar Shake-up, it was revealed that The Miz was being acquired by SmackDown LIVE at the request of Daniel Bryan. There is no love lost between the two Superstars, who have a tense history going back to Season 1 of NXT in 2010. The rivals will come face-to-face on SmackDown LIVE, as The A-Lister makes his Team Blue premiere by hosting the leader of The “Yes!” Movement on “Miz TV.” What will happen when these longtime rivals meet? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>Daniel Bryan to appear on “Miz TV”
Last week, The Miz received the news that he would be heading to SmackDown LIVE in the 2018 Superstar Shake-up. Under normal circumstances, that probably would have been good news. Unfortunately for The Awesome One, his return to Team Blue was requested by Daniel Bryan. There is a long history between the two, dating back to Season 1 of NXT in 2010, but the bad blood in recent years can be traced back to The A-Lister’s first turn on SmackDown LIVE.
Then the brand’s General Manager, Bryan was very critical of The Miz’s in-ring style and minced no words when expressing those views to Miz’s face on WWE Talking Smack. Bryan’s criticism sent The Awesome One flying off the handle in a rant about Bryan and his retirement that left Bryan so furious that he walked off the show. The Miz took things even further, mocking Bryan during his matches by using The Beard’s trademark kicks.
A lot has transpired since then, the biggest change being that Bryan is back in the ring as a full-time Superstar, and he’s apparently had enough of The Miz’s mockery. What will happen when these rivals come face to face?
>Jimmy Uso takes on Rowan of The Bludgeon Brothers
Last week, the rivalry between The Usos and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers became extremely personal when Naomi rushed to ringside to plead with Harper & Rowan not to destroy her husband, Jimmy, and brother-in-law, Jey. The Bludgeon Brothers, perhaps showing a small amount of compassion, ended the carnage.
The Usos are not going to back down from the massive mallet-wielders in the face of their title match at this Friday’s Greatest Royal Rumble event, as Jimmy Uso is stepping up to take on Rowan in one-on-one competition. How will he handle the monstrous Superstar? Will Naomi heed her family’s advice and stay out of The Bludgeon Brothers’ path of destruction?
>Charlotte Flair and Carmella sign the contract for their SmackDown Women’s Title rematch at WWE Backlash
The WWE Universe is still reeling from Carmella’s shocking Money in the Bank contract cash-in that saw her take the SmackDown Women’s Championship from Charlotte Flair.
The Queen isn’t waiting very long to invoke her rematch clause against The Princess of Staten Island. Tonight on SmackDown LIVE, the two will sign the paperwork to make their SmackDown Women’s Championship rematch official for WWE Backlash on Sunday, May 6. What will happen when these two rivals meet in the squared circle?
>Asuka to make SmackDown LIVE in-ring debut tonight in tag bout with Becky Lynch against The IIconics
One week after Asuka arrived on SmackDown LIVE as part of the Superstar Shake-up, The Empress of Tomorrow will make her official in-ring debut as a member of the blue brand when she teams up with Becky Lynch to battle The IIconics.
Asuka's stunning SmackDown arrival came this past Tuesday when she saved Becky and Charlotte Flair from a three-on-two beatdown at the hands of SmackDown Women's Champion Carmella and Billie Kay & Peyton Royce of The IIconics.
The duo of Kay & Royce has certainly been causing a stir since they debuted on SmackDown LIVE, particularly when they attacked Charlotte, which led to Carmella successfully cashing in her Money in the Bank contract. But will The IIconics be ready for Asuka?
Boleave in King Nicholas!!

RAM 4/23 Brock stops being lazy edition
WWE Raw preview, April 23, 2018: The Beast returns before the Greatest Royal Rumble event
Four nights before defending his Universal Championship against Roman Reigns in a Steel Cage Match at the Greatest Royal Rumble event, Brock Lesnar makes his way to Monday Night Raw. What havoc will The Beast Incarnate unleash during his first live WWE appearance since mauling The [LOUD BOOING] at WrestleMania?
>The Conqueror cometh
Universal Champion Brock Lesnar utterly dismantled Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, but despite suffering a painful defeat on The Grandest Stage of Them All, The [LOUD BOOING] remains determined to defeat The Beast Incarnate in their rematch inside a Steel Cage at the Greatest Royal Rumble event in Saudi Arabia next Friday, streaming live on WWE Network.
Lesnar makes his first live appearance since The Show of Shows on Raw, and his advocate Paul Heyman will no doubt have much to say about the impending return bout inside the unforgiving steel. Will Heyman’s undoubtedly acidic words incite a full-on brawl between these powerful rivals?
>Superstar Shake-up aftermath
This past Monday night, the landscape of Monday Night Raw shifted dramatically with the arrival of such Superstars as Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, Natalya, The riotttttttttt Squad, Bobby Roode, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and others looking to make a name for themselves in their new surroundings.
What new alliances and rivalries will emerge now that these new competitors have made Team Red their home?
>Will Stephanie McMahon continue to overrule Kurt Angle’s decisions?
If you thought the issues between Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and General Manager Kurt Angle ended at WrestleMania, you’ve got another thing coming.
This past Monday night, Angle determined that neither Kevin Owens nor Sami Zayn would be joining Raw following their WrestleMania defeat to Daniel Bryan & Shane McMahon and after the two fought each other to a No Contest the week prior on Team Red when a roster spot was on the line, but Stephanie decreed that The Olympic Hero had made his decision based on emotion, awarding Raw contracts to the leaders of The “Yep!” Movement.
Is Raw in the midst of a power struggle, and, if so, will opportunistic Superstars like Owens & Zayn take advantage?
>Could we soon have “Woken” Raw Tag Team Champions?
The pairing of “Woken” Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt has been “DELIGHTFUL” to say the least. The former rivals rolled through Titus Worldwide and The Revival in the Tag Team Eliminator, earning an opportunity to battle Cesaro & Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Titles — which are currently in abeyance — at the Greatest Royal Rumble event
Can The Woken One and The DELETEr of Worlds continue to gain momentum before their title opportunity in Saudi Arabia?
Smackdown 4/17 SUPERSTAR SHAKEUP PART 2 MAGGLE
SmackDown LIVE preview, April 17, 2018: How will the Superstar Shake-up affect Team Blue?
The first night of the 2018 Superstar Shake-up saw major changes, as Raw gained United States Champion Jinder Mahal (who then lost the title to Jeff Hardy), Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and The riotttttttttt Squad, among others, from Team Blue. However, SmackDown LIVE also gained a Superstar in The Miz. How will the faces of Team Blue continue to change? Who will show up on SmackDown LIVE? Find out during night two of the 2018 Superstar Shake-up, starting at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>The Superstar Shake-up continues
Night one of the 2018 Superstar Shake-up proved to be momentous, as Team Blue stalwarts like Bobby Roode, Jinder Mahal, Dolph Ziggler and Natalya made their way to Monday nights.
On the flip side, former Intercontinental Champion The Miz was acquired by Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Paige at the behest of former GM Daniel Bryan. Who else will be joining The A-Lister on Tuesdays?
>Will Shinsuke Nakamura continue to antagonize AJ Styles?
Shinsuke Nakamura has unveiled a new side of his eccentric persona in the days following his shocking attack on WWE Champion AJ Styles at WrestleMania. The Rockstar taunted his opponent with a disingenuous apology for the low blow on The Grandest Stage of Them All, then ruined the fantasy match between The Phenomenal One and Daniel Bryan, clobbering The “Yes!” Man with a thunderous Kinshasa and hitting Styles with another heinous low blow.
Will Nakamura continue to torment Styles when he least expects it, or will The Phenomenal One get the payback he’s looking for?
<Princess Mella’s reign begins
Last Tuesday, Carmella stunned the WWE Universe. After the debuting IIconics opened the door for her with a vicious attack on Charlotte Flair, The Princess of Staten Island walked through and cashed in her Money in the Bank contract on the spot. With one boot to the battered Queen’s face, Carmella left New Orleans with the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
Now that she’s on top of the mountain, how will the moon-walking, trash-talking Princess of Staten Island officially kick off her reign? Will The Queen be waiting to dethrone her?
>Are The Usos ready for a bludgeoning?
The Usos defeated The New Day last week to earn a SmackDown Tag Team Championship opportunity against The Bludgeon Brothers at the Greatest Royal Rumble event next Friday. Jimmy & Jey did not have any time to celebrate their victory, as Harper & Rowan arrived to remind them of what awaits in Saudi Arabia, pointing their mighty mallets at their challengers.
The Usos have stated that they are ready to take on the champions, but are they truly prepared to do what it takes to knock off the malicious duo and reclaim their titles?
>The Miz returns to Team Blue
One of the most shocking moments of the first night of the 2018 Superstar Shake-up came when Kurt Angle arrived on “Miz TV” to tell The Awesome One that he would be heading to SmackDown LIVE without The Miztourage.
The A-Lister’s first turn on Team Blue was controversial, as he clashed with John Cena and was a consistent antagonist of then-General Manager Daniel Bryan, who was not cleared to compete at the time. Now, Bryan apparently demanded Miz’s return to SmackDown LIVE. Does he have payback on his mind?
What does the first new arrival to Team Blue have in store? Find out during night two of the 2018 Superstar Shake-up on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
RAW 4/16 SUPERSTAR SHAKEUP MAGGLE

Where will your favorite Superstars end up when Raw and SmackDown LIVE get shaken up in a special two-night event? Don’t miss the first night of the Superstar Shake-up Monday at 8/7 C on USA Network. Also on Raw, “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt battle The Revival in the final round of the Tag Team Eliminator, and contentious best friends Booley and Sasha Banks square off one-on-one.
>Both brands get shaken up
One week after NXT Superstars Ember Moon, No Way Jose and The Authors of Pain rocked the foundations of Monday Night Raw, the red brand gets shaken up again in the 2018 Superstar Shake-up, when Raw Superstars will move to SmackDown LIVE and vice versa.
Will Braun Strowman’s path of destruction take him to Team Blue? Might we see SmackDown LIVE stalwarts like Shinsuke Nakamura or Becky Lynch join the red brand? Which teams will be split up, and which alliances will be re-forged? The Superstar Shake-up begins on Raw and continues the following night on SmackDown LIVE, and you won’t want to miss a moment.
>Who will battle Cesaro & Sheamus at WWE Greatest Royal Rumble on April 27?
Due to Braun Strowman’s tag team partner Nicholas’ scheduling conflicts — he’s in fourth grade, after all — the newly crowned Raw Tag Team Champions were forced to relinquish their titles, prompting Raw General Manager Kurt Angle to schedule a Tag Team Eliminator to determine who will battle former champions The Bar in Saudi Arabia at WWE Greatest Royal Rumble.
2018 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal Winner “Woken” Matt Hardy successfully teamed with former nemesis Bray Wyatt to defeat Titus Worldwide last week, while The Revival conquered Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson on the same night. This coming Monday night, Raw’s Woken tandem will take on the “Top Guys” for the right to challenge The Bar on April 27, live on WWE Network. Who will advance?
<Booley and Sasha Banks settle their differences
Things have been tense between longtime friends Booley and Sasha Banks in recent weeks, and even though they clashed in the first-ever WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal, there’s still a lot of unfinished business between them.
After The booable one inadvertently attacked The Boss during Banks’ match against Mandy Rose, Booley and Sasha will battle one-on-one on Raw in Hartford, Conn. Will this bout mark the end of their friendship, or will it signal the beginning of their reconciliation?
<Will Ronda Rousey face repercussions after attacking Stephanie McMahon again?
In an impressive WrestleMania debut, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey teamed with Kurt Angle to defeat Stephanie McMahon & Triple H, doing some serious damage to the Raw Commissioner’s left arm in the process.
When Stephanie attempted to “befriend” Ronda and put the WWE “machine” behind The Baddest Woman on the Planet, Rousey saw through the façade and went to work on Stephanie’s arm once again, further damaging the injured limb.
The McMahons aren’t known for taking disrespect lightly, so what awaits Ronda when she enters Raw on Monday?
>Will Roman Reigns get his hands on Samoa Joe?
One night after getting physically mauled by Universal Champion Brock Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania, Roman Reigns was the recipient of a verbal assault by Samoa Joe the following night on Raw.
Claiming that The Beast “exposed” Reigns as a “failure,” The Samoan Submission Machine revealed that after Lesnar once again conquers The [LOUD BOOING] in their Universal Championship Steel Cage Match at WWE Greatest Royal Rumble on April 27, Reigns will face further punishment at the hands of Joe at WWE Backlash on May 6.
How will Reigns respond?
>What “unfinished business” does Bobby Lashley have in WWE?
Social media erupted this past Monday night when Bobby Lashley returned to WWE, interrupting Elias and laying out the sinister songsmith with an incredible stalling suplex.
Surely, this powerhouse didn’t re-emerge to simply spare the WWE Universe from Elias’ latest disrespectful tune. In an interview with WWE.com after his return, Lashley claimed he had “unfinished business” and that he aimed to prove he can hang with the intense competition in WWE today. Who will be his first opponent?
Don’t miss the first night of the Superstar Shake-up on Monday Night Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network!

Smarkdown After WRASSLEMEMEIA 2018
SmackDown LIVE preview: April 10, 2018: How will AJ Styles respond following Shinsuke Nakamura’s betrayal?
After WrestleMania made an earth-shattering impact on SmackDown Superstars such as WWE Champion AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Daniel Bryan, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and more, Team Blue’s top competitors look forward to new challenges, opportunities and conflicts as the SmackDown LIVE after The Show of Shows approaches.
>How will AJ Styles respond to Shinsuke Nakamura’s savage attack?
After AJ Styles retained his WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura in a thrilling match at WrestleMania, the WWE Universe was stunned when The King of Strong Style struck The Phenomenal One with a merciless low blow and put the boots to him in a savage assault after the title bout.
What reasoning will WWE’s Rockstar have for his heinous actions? And how will Styles respond?
>What does the future hold for the leadership of SmackDown LIVE and the Superstar Shake-up?
The state of SmackDown LIVE’s management team was certainly in flux leading up to WrestleMania 34. Shane McMahon had announced that he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence as Commissioner of the blue brand, and Daniel Bryan had just been cleared for in-ring competition.
Now that the two have vanquished Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn from SmackDown LIVE for good following their win over The “Yep!” Movement at WrestleMania, what’s next for the Commissioner and General Manager? Will Shane officially return from his leave of absence and what impact will his health issues have on his decision? Will Daniel Bryan continue to split time between the ring and the office? And how will the Superstar Shake-up impact these decisions?
<Where does Charlotte go after beating Asuka?
Having firmly proved that she was indeed ready for Asuka, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair now stands atop the mountain as the definitive Queen of WWE. Who will step up to challenge Flair? Could we see Naomi, the winner of the first-ever WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal, shine her glow the Queen’s way? Or, could the likes of The riotttttttttt Squad or Becky Lynch make a power play for the top spot on Team Blue? And when will Carmella look to strike with her Money in the Bank contract?
Find out tonight at 8/7 C on SmackDown LIVE!
>Who will be the light in The Bludgeon Brothers’ new age of darkness?
After The Bludgeon Brothers defeated The Usos and The New Day to become new SmackDown Tag Team Champions in a dominant performance at WrestleMania, the question must now be posed: Who the heck is gonna stop these guys?
With Harper & Rowan’s new age of darkness now looming heavily over the SmackDown Tag Team division, who will step up to slow down the two behemoths?
>Who might debut on SmackDown LIVE after WrestleMania?
#RawAfterMania saw NXT standouts like The Authors of Pain, No Way Jose and Ember Moon make their debuts on the red brand, but does that mean SmackDown LIVE can expect new faces to arrive as well? Historically, Team Blue has also had its share of surprises, so is it possible SmackDown LIVE will see new faces emerge one week before the Superstar Shake-up?
RAM after Wrestremania 2018
Raw preview: April 9, 2018: The Era of Lesnar continues
At WrestleMania 34, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar obliterated Roman Reigns, Nia Jax finally silenced Alexa Bliss, and a kid named Nicholas became Raw Tag Team Champions with Braun Strowman. As the #RawAfterMania approaches, what lies ahead for the Team Red Superstars?
>The Beast came marching in
Paul Heyman said it would be a spoiler, and a spoiler it was. Brock Lesnar defeated Roman Reigns in one of the most shocking WrestleMania main events in history to retain the Universal Championship.
The Beast and Reigns threw down in the barbaric contest, which saw BROKEN tables, a busted open Reigns and six F-5s, which led to The Anomaly standing tall. What new challenges await Lesnar as he continues his now seemingly unstoppable reign atop the red brand? And what does Roman Reigns do now that he’s come up short in his quest to finally tame The Beast?
>Blaze of glory
Seth Rollins burned it down at WrestleMania 34 — “it” being The Miz’s Intercontinental Championship reign — in a show-stealing Triple Threat Match that landed The Kingslayer his first Intercontinental Championship (and with it, a Grand Slam accolade to boot). The Architect will face no shortage of obstacles as champion. Miz will want his title back, and Finn Bálor seems to have made it his personal mission to hunt Rollins down of late. Suffice it to say, winning the title may turn out to be the easiest part of this chapter in Rollins’ career.
<Not like most champions
What went around did indeed come around at WrestleMania, as Nia Jax defeated Alexa Bliss to claim the Raw Women’s Championship and pay The Goddess back for weeks of insults that cut to the bone of The Irresistible Force. Having come into her own as a confident powerhouse should make Jax enough of a threat for the Raw roster. Having the title, however, makes her a target. Still, given the advantages she possesses over most of her fellow Superstars, it remains to be seen how vulnerable she is, if at all.
>Will Braun Strowman really defend the Raw Tag Team Titles with a kid named Nicholas?
In one of the most inexplicable moments in WrestleMania history, Braun Strowman not only picked a young child named Nicholas out of the crowd to be his partner for his Raw Tag Team Championship Match against The Bar at WrestleMania, but he also won the titles with the young man.
Now, with Strowman and Nicholas officially reigning as Raw Tag Team Champions, several questions emerge. Will Nicholas continue to be The Monster Among Men’s tag team partner? And, even if yes, will WWE management allow an innocent kid to compete on Raw?
>Raw gets rowdy
Ronda Rousey emphatically thwarted The Authority in her WrestleMania debut, submitting Stephanie to earn a victory for herself and Raw General Manager Kurt Angle in Mixed Tag Team action. The win cements her — finally — as a bona fide Superstar, and a path forward will need to be determined. Will she mix it up with the likes of Sasha Banks and Booley, still spoiling for a fight after the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal? Will she run afoul of Asuka, whose precious undefeated streak was BROKEN at The Showcase of the Immortals? Or will she go right for the top and challenge Nia Jax for the Raw Women’s Title? The future seems to be Ronda’s for the taking, and it begins tonight at 8/7 C live on USA Network.

WWE suspend Rich Swann over allegations of kidnapping and attacking his wife
>According to the police report, an incident began while the couple were allegedly arguing in a car, after Swann criticised Riggs' wrestling performance at the 8 Seconds nightclub in downtown Gainesville earlier that evening.
>Police said Ms Riggs was 'scared that their argument was going to escalate into physical violence' and got out of the car, only to have Swann stop and exit the car to chase after her, while yelling for her to get back inside the vehicle.
>A witness said that when Ms Riggs refused to return to the car the first time, Swann put her in a headlock and dragged her back to the car. Once inside, the witness said, Ms Riggs beat on the window and screamed for help.
>Another witness told police that Swann was driving erratically and that Ms Riggs jumped out of the slowly-moving car and ran away a second time. Swann was then allegedly seen getting out of the car, while it was still moving, to follow her.
>When questioned by police, Swann denied having touched Ms Riggs - a wrestler who goes by the name of Su Yung - and said she had got back into the car herself, according to the report.
>Swann also said the reason he had chased after Ms Riggs was that he was trying to get home and needed to use the GPS function on her phone.
>Kidnapping/false imprisonment in Florida is a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
>Battery is a first degree misdemeanour in Florida, with penalties of up to one year in jail or 12 months probation and a $1,000 fine.
>Swann was reportedly being held in custody in Alachua County Jail before his release today.
Smarkdown/MMC/205/ME 4/3 this half of wrestlemania will suck edition
SmackDown LIVE preview, April 3, 2018: Styles & Nakamura team up before WrestleMania showdown
The rivalry between WWE Champion AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura is heating up as their WrestleMania dream match draws near. Last week, The Artist saved the titleholder from an attack at the hands of Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin, then stopped just short of drilling Styles with a Kinshasa and letting him know what lies ahead in New Orleans. This week on SmackDown LIVE, Styles and Nakamura will join forces to take on Gable & Benjamin. Will they be able to focus on tag team victory, or will the bad blood lead to defeat? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>AJ Styles & Shinsuke Nakamura to face Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin
Last week, Shinsuke Nakamura had WWE Champion AJ Styles in his corner to keep an eye on Chad Gable while he battled Shelton Benjamin on SmackDown LIVE. Nakamura was victorious, but The Phenomenal One was attacked from behind by Gable & Benjamin until WWE’s Rockstar made the save. The Artist then played some mind games with Styles, stopping short of clobbering the WWE Champion with the Kinshasa before playfully reminding him with a pat on the head that a knee to the face awaits him in New Orleans.
With just five nights remaining until their dream match on The Grandest Stage of Them All, Styles and Nakamura will team up to battle Gable & Benjamin. Will Styles be able to concentrate on the tag team struggle, or is Nakamura truly inside The Phenomenal One’s head?
>Rusev battles Jinder Mahal days before U.S. Title Fatal 4-Way
Last week, Rusev shook up the WrestleMania card by pinning United States Champion Randy Orton in tag team action, then getting himself added to the Fatal 4-Way Match for the star-spangled title at The Show of Shows, much to the chagrin of Jinder Mahal.
Before he gets to New Orleans, The Bulgarian Brute will take on the Superstar who bolieves he is the uncrowned United States Champion. Will The Modern Day Maharaja prove why, or will the Rusev Day celebrations begin early?
ANOTHER FOUR WAY FOR THE TITLE
<Charlotte Flair faces Natalya in a rematch from two weeks ago
SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair has a tall task ahead of her this Sunday at WrestleMania in the form of the undefeated Asuka, but she also has to worry about two of her fiercest rivals on Team Blue: Natalya and Carmella.
Natalya is frustrated that she will not be challenging for Charlotte’s title in New Orleans, while Carmella is always waiting in the wings with her Money in the Bank contract, ready to try and steal The Queen’s championship. These three women crossed paths two weeks ago, when Carmella’s meddling led to Natalya defeating Flair in a one-on-one battle. Charlotte is getting her chance at payback this week; will she vanquish the third-generation Superstar and once again turn her focus to Asuka?
>Shane McMahon to return ahead of WrestleMania
Last week, Daniel Bryan shocked the WWE Universe when he issued a challenge on behalf of himself and Shane McMahon to Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn for WrestleMania. Bryan had just been cleared to return to competition before he was brutally ambushed by Owens & Zayn, while McMahon was recently hospitalized with acute diverticulitis and an umbilical hernia suffered in a similar attack at the hands of KO and Zayn.
With five days remaining until this unbelievable showdown, Shane McMahon will be at SmackDown LIVE to address the WWE Universe. Will he be ready for WrestleMania? Will Owens & Zayn be keeping a close eye on McMahon’s status after crashing a SmackDown Live Event this past weekend? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA!
RAM 4/2 WRESTLEMANIA COMES EARLY MAGGLE edition
WWE Raw preview, April 2, 2018: Team Rousey and Team McMahon face off before WrestleMania
On the final Raw before their Mixed Tag Team Match at WrestleMania, Kurt Angle & Ronda Rousey will stand face-to-face with Triple H & Stephanie McMahon. Will these two teams brawl before The Show of Shows? Also on Raw, Seth Rollins battles Finn Bálor one-on-one, six nights before both challenge The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship in a Triple Threat Match on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
>Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle to meet Triple H & Stephanie McMahon face-to-face
The last time Stephanie McMahon was in the same ring as “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey back on March 5, she was handily taken down by the first UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion.
Triple H and Stephanie are intensely competitive, and it’s clear that Rousey’s takedown of the Raw Commissioner and Kurt Angle’s excruciating Angle Lock on The Game — a move he’s all too familiar with — have only fueled their WrestleMania preparation.
Adding an interesting layer, as reported on WWE's official Twitter account, the WWE Universe will be able to be a part of this face-to-face meeting by asking questions to the respective pairs with the hashtags #TeamRousey and #TeamMcMahon.
WWE✔@WWE
Something tells us tomorrow's face-to-face won't be this cordial….
Use #TeamMcMahon and #TeamRousey to ask a question for #RAW's social media Q & A! @RondaRousey @TripleH @StephMcMahon @RealKurtAngle
Given the pride at stake at WrestleMania in their Mixed Tag Team Match, what will happen when these four powerful personalities converge under the same roof on the final Raw before The Show of Shows?
>Will Roman Reigns be ready for WrestleMania?
This past Monday night on Raw, Roman Reigns’ suspension was lifted, and The [LOUD BOOING] saw fit to incite a brawl with Universal Champion Brock Lesnar, despite suffering a vicious beating at the hands of The Beast Incarnate one week prior.
Reigns is clearly worse for wear after once again being brutalized by The Beast, but he will nevertheless challenge Lesnar for the Universal Title at WrestleMania.
What’s going through Reigns’ mind as that title bout approaches? Will he attempt to stagger The Conqueror before The Show of Shows, despite his previous attempts ending in disaster?
We’ll find out when Raw goes live in Atlanta.
>Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor collide in battle for WrestleMania momentum
Even though Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor share a mutual enemy in Intercontinental Champion The Miz, the intensely athletic Superstars are intent on reminding each other in recent weeks that it will be every man for himself in WrestleMania’s Triple Threat Match for The A-Lister’s title.
Bálor defeated Rollins on the March 12 Raw, and The Kingslayer has been determined to get another opportunity against the Bálor Club leader before WrestleMania. After Bálor and Rollins laid waste to The Miz this past Monday night, The Extraordinary Man ambushed The Architect and held the Intercontinental Championship above his head. How will Rollins respond when he clashes with the first Universal Champion six nights before The Show of Shows?
KSI VS. Logan Paul
>Following KSI's knockout victory over Joe Weller in his first boxing match at London's Copper Box back in January 2018, he called out Logan Paul, Jake Paul or any other Paul and that's what sparked the whole thing.
>Whilst an official deal appears to have been signed by both parties, the pair are still arguing on Twitter about money. Pictures have been fluing around Twitter showing a signed contract and pictures of Logan and KSI in each other's faces.
HAPPENING
YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul have now signed to fight each other on August 25th at Manchester Arena.
They've put together a two-fight deal and everything. Rematch in the US!
Smackdown/MMC/205/ME 3/27 Daniel Dyin' Edition
SmackDown LIVE preview, March 27, 2018: Will Daniel Bryan appear after being brutally attacked by Owens & Zayn?
What was supposed to be a joyous night ended in misery. SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan, who was riding high off the announcement that he was cleared to return to the ring, began the night by celebrating the news with the WWE Universe. But his firing of Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn had unexpected consequences, as KO & Zayn brutalized Bryan, resulting in The “Yes!” Movement’s leader leaving the arena on a stretcher. Will Bryan address the events of last week? Will he even be able to make it to SmackDown LIVE? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>Will Daniel Bryan make it to SmackDown LIVE?
Last Tuesday should have been one of the happiest days of Daniel Bryan’s life after he was cleared to return to in-ring competition, but the night ended with the former WWE Champion being taken out of the arena on a stretcher. After being fired by Bryan for their heinous attack on Shane McMahon, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn brutally attacked the leader of The “Yes!” Movement, ruining the historic night.
In the aftermath of these monstrous actions, will Bryan attempt to fight through the injuries and show up on SmackDown LIVE? What new paths will Team Blue take on The Road to WrestleMania?
>Roode & Orton join forces to take on Mahal and Singh
As their United States Championship Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania draws near, tensions continue to grow between titleholder Randy Orton, former champion Bobby Roode and the Superstar who claims to be the uncrowned champion, Jinder Mahal. Those tensions will come to a head on SmackDown LIVE when Roode and Orton team up to battle Mahal and Sunil Singh, who was devastated with a pair of DDTs from The Viper and The Glorious One.
Can Roode and Orton put aside their differences and work together as a team, or will Mahal’s claim to the star-spangled title continue to strengthen?
>The New Day return to battle The Bludgeon Brothers
Since suffering a vicious attack at the hands of The Bludgeon Brothers at WWE Fastlane, The New Day have not been at full strength. That changes tonight, as Kofi Kingston, Big E & Xavier Woods are back in action, and they have their sights set on two Superstars: Harper & Rowan.
Can the four-time Tag Team Champions get payback on the mallet-wielding madmen, or will Harper & Rowan continue their path of destruction?
>Shinsuke Nakamura clashes with Shelton Benjamin
Why?
As his dream match with AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania gets closer, Shinsuke Nakamura is not taking it easy. Having bested Rusev last week, WWE’s Rockstar is now going to test his grappling skills against one of WWE’s finest technicians: Shelton Benjamin.
Benjamin will certainly be looking to knock The Artist down a peg or two ahead of the biggest match of his career, but will he succeed? Or, will Nakamura walk out of this first-time-ever battle with another big win under his belt?
''''
<Charlotte Flair faces Natalya in a rematch from last Tuesday
SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair has a tall task ahead of her at WrestleMania in the form of the undefeated Asuka, but she also has to worry about two of her fiercest rivals on Team Blue who have her in their sights: Natalya and Carmella.
Natalya is frustrated that she will not be challenging for Charlotte’s title in New Orleans, while Carmella is always waiting in the wings with her Money in the Bank contract, ready to try and steal The Queen’s title. These three women crossed paths last week when Carmella’s meddling led to Natalya defeating Flair in a one-on-one battle. Charlotte is getting her chance at payback this week; will she vanquish the third-generation Superstar and turn her focus on Asuka once again? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
RAW 3/26 John "plz give me wrestlemania guys" Cena edition
WWE Raw preview, March 26, 2018: John Cena steps into the fire with Kane on The Road to WrestleMania
As John Cena’s challenge to The Undertaker remains unanswered, The Deadman’s brother Kane has emerged to target The Cenation Leader, and the two Superstars will do battle live on Raw. What might this unexpected encounter mean for Cena’s Road to WrestleMania?
>John Cena takes on The Big Red Machine
After The Undertaker did not respond to John Cena’s challenge to a one-on-one match at WrestleMania, The Cenation Leader labeled The Deadman a “coward,” spurring the resurgence of The Phenom’s brother Kane to defend his brother’s honor — or perhaps make a WrestleMania statement of his own — by Chokeslamming Cena in the center of the ring.
That eerie encounter last Monday on Raw inspired a match between the two longtime rivals this coming Monday night. What would a victory over Kane mean for Cena in his quest to resurrect The Undertaker for one more match on The Grandest Stage of Them All? Moreover, what are The Big Red Machine’s motivations in all of this? Is Kane vying to battle Cena at The Show of Shows in New Orleans, or is he simply stepping up to defend the reputation of his fellow Brother of Destruction?
>What’s “Woken” Matt Hardy’s next move?
We all saw it, but whether we understand it is another issue entirely. This past Monday’s Raw played host to The Ultimate Deletion at The Hardy Compound, where “Woken” Matt Hardy ended his Great War with Bray Wyatt by defeating him in combat and throwing the dazed Eater of Worlds into the mystical Lake of Reincarnation. Wyatt hasn’t been seen or heard from since.
Now that The Woken One’s rival has been vanquished, what is Hardy’s path to WrestleMania?
>Braun Strowman needs a WrestleMania partner
Per Raw General Manager Kurt Angle, Braun Strowman will challenge Cesaro & Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania, but only if he can find a partner.
The Monster Among Men doesn’t bolieve he needs to tag with anyone to take down The Bar, but whether he likes it or not, he’ll need someone in his corner.
When will Strowman choose his partner for The Showcase of the Immortals?
<Are Stephanie McMahon & Triple H ready for Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle?
This past Monday night in a WWE.com Exclusive, “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey made short work of Dana Brooke when the Titus Worldwide statistician tried to put The Baddest Woman on the Planet in her place.
As Rousey continues to ramp up her training in preparation for the Mixed Tag Team Match pitting her and Kurt Angle against Stephanie McMahon and Triple H at WrestleMania, is the Raw Commissioner prepared for what awaits at The Show of Shows?
>not even main event
>but youtube
B U R I E D
>Will Roman Reigns be 100 percent for WrestleMania?
As Roman Reigns was in the process of being taken into custody by U.S. Marshals for violating his suspension this past Monday night, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar brutally attacked the handcuffed [LOUD BOOING], who needed to be rushed to a local medical facility in the wake of one of the most callous assaults in WWE history.
Little is known about Reigns’ condition at this time, but one has to imagine that The Beast Incarnate’s actions have changed the landscape of the Universal Championship Match at WrestleMania. After all, most Superstars have difficulty simply standing upright in a match against The Conqueror. What chance does Reigns have if he’s still recovering from Beast-incurred injuries?

RAM 3/19 THE ULTIMATE DELETION
WWE Raw preview, March 19, 2018: The Ultimate Deletion is upon us
The GREAT WAR between “Woken” Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt has escalated to THE ULTIMATE DELETION, a battle that will transpire at The Hardy Compound this Monday night on Raw. Can The Woken One finally DELETE The Eater of Worlds, once and for all? Also on Raw, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar is slated to return at last, and Asuka battles Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss!
>Who will claim victory in The Ultimate Deletion?
It all comes down to this: The Great War hits home for “Woken” Matt Hardy, as he takes on Bray Wyatt in The Ultimate Deletion at The Hardy Compound.
This contest promises to challenge everything we know about combat, both physically and psychologically, as The Woken One’s own family — including Queen Rebecca, King Maxel, Lord Wolfgang, Senor Benjamin and his drone, Vanguard 1 — bears witness to the mind-bending confrontation.
Will Hardy finally DELETE The Eater of Worlds, or will Wyatt bring darkness to The Hardy Compound? Whatever happens, this will be a battle unlike anything in WWE history.
>Brock Lesnar finally emerges
Per Mr. McMahon, Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will finally appear on Monday Night Raw, three weeks before he defends his title against the recently suspended Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
Now that The Chairman has punished The [LOUD BOOING] for his inflammatory criticism of The Beast Incarnate and Mr. McMahon himself, it remains to be seen just how Reigns will react to Lesnar’s appearance on Raw — or if he will even be reinstated before Monday night.
FINALLY
<Asuka puts her streak on the line against Alexa Bliss
Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss will have Mickie James in her corner when she takes on Asuka Monday night on Raw, but Little Miss Bliss surely won’t have Nia Jax by her side after she unwittingly insulted The Irresistible Force in front of the entire WWE Universe this past Monday night.
As Alexa looks to snap The Empress of Tomorrow’s streak, how will the seething Jax factor into the situation?
>Will Braun Strowman take on The Bar at WrestleMania?
Even though he doesn’t have a tag team partner, Braun Strowman shockingly won the Tag Team Battle Royal this past Monday night, meaning that he technically earned the right to challenge Cesaro & Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans. However, given the fact that The Monster Among Men is a solo Superstar, and since he originally wasn’t scheduled to compete in the over-the-top-rope bout, the victory comes with no small amount of controversy.
Raw General Manager Kurt Angle has a lot on his plate going into this year’s Show of Shows — including his Mixed Tag Team Match with Ronda Rousey against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon — but he’ll need to sort out Strowman’s Road to WrestleMania sooner than later. Will Angle rule in favor of The Monster Among Men, or will all of Team Red suffer the consequences if Strowman doesn’t get his way?
Smackdown/MMC/205/ME 3/20 asdf edition
SmackDown LIVE preview, March 20, 2018: Will Styles and Nakamura have each other’s back as WrestleMania approaches?
Though he emerged from a turbulent Six-Pack Challenge at WWE Fastlane with his WWE Championship, AJ Styles learned the hard way that The Road to WrestleMania will not be an easy one. After being subjected to a two-on-one beating at the hands of Rusev & Aiden English, Styles found reprieve from an unlikely source: Shinsuke Nakamura, his WrestleMania opponent. With their WWE Championship dream match just weeks away, will they have to keep an eye on each other to make sure they get to New Orleans in one piece? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>Will Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn face any repercussions from Daniel Bryan for their attack on Shane McMahon?
To say the least, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn may have gone too far last week on SmackDown LIVE. After Shane McMahon announced he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence from his position as SmackDown LIVE Commissioner, KO and Zayn brutalized McMahon, leaving him with several injuries.
Daniel Bryan returns to SmackDown LIVE tonight as the sole person in charge of Team Blue. How will he respond to Owens & Zayn after their unbelievable attack? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>Is Jinder Mahal winning the United States Title a foregone conclusion?
The United States Championship picture heading into WrestleMania is murky following last week’s SmackDown LIVE. Jinder Mahal continued to claim he is the uncrowned champion and interrupted Bobby Roode when he attempted to use his rematch clause to challenge Randy Orton at WrestleMania, then defeated The Glorious One before eating an RKO from the titleholder.
As WrestleMania draws closer, will one Superstar emerge as the clear challenger for WWE’s Apex Predator?
>we just made this change let's push the roided poojeet to it for no reason
<How will the SmackDown Women’s Division change after the arrival of Asuka?
The dynamic of the Women’s division on SmackDown LIVE immediately changed when Asuka declared she’d be challenging SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania.
With the specter of The Empress of Tomorrow hanging over them, how will the women of Team Blue react? Carmella still holds the Money in the Bank contract; could she rush to cash in before The Show of Shows? And with the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal on the horizon, surely the women of the blue brand will be out to make an impression just before stepping onto The Grandest Stage of Them All.
>Will The Bludgeon Brothers’ punishment continue?
At WWE Fastlane, Harper & Rowan demolished The New Day and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos during a thrilling title bout. Two days later on SmackDown LIVE, Big E & Jimmy Uso, the only two members of their respective teams cleared for competition, attempted to take out The Bludgeon Brothers but came up short.
Now that the mallet-wielding madmen are on the loose, will The New Day, The Usos or anyone else be able to stop their path of destruction?
NO MORE FUCKING LOCAL TALENT SQUASH MATCHES
>Will AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura have to watch each other’s back ahead of WrestleMania?
Though he emerged from WWE Fastlane’s wild Six-Pack Challenge with his WWE Championship, AJ Styles found out quickly that The Road to WrestleMania promises to be challenging.
After enduring a two-on-one beating at the hands of Rusev & Aiden English, Styles was saved by an unlikely Superstar: Shinsuke Nakamura, his WrestleMania opponent. With their WWE Championship dream match just three weeks away, will the two have to watch each other’s backs to ensure that their dream match becomes a reality?

WWE Raw preview, March 12, 2018: Will Lesnar and Reigns clash before WrestleMania?
The time for talk, it seems, is over. Live on Raw, Roman Reigns and Universal Champion Brock Lesnar will meet face-to-face, but they may be trading more than just insults. What will happen when The [LOUD BOOING] and The Beast Incarnate step into the ring, four weeks before WrestleMania?
>The [LOUD BOOING] and the “entitled” Universal Champion meet face-to-face
>it's going to be another "Brock shows up before a PPV for a five minute spot and fucks off to do nothing til the PPV" episode
One week after Roman Reigns called Universal Champion Brock Lesnar an “entitled piece of crap who hides behind his contract,” he told Paul Heyman that if The Beast Incarnate is actually coming to Raw in Detroit as scheduled, he’d better be ready for a fight.
As a prizefighter, Lesnar seldom throws down unless he’s being paid to do so. Will The Conqueror make an exception to repay The [LOUD BOOING] for his recent insults?
<Can Booley and Sasha Banks mend their fractured friendship?
One of the most celebrated friendships in sports-entertainment is seemingly on the rocks. After Sasha Banks saved Booley from a two-on-one Absolution beatdown, The booable one rejected an embrace from The Boss.
Booley’s a big “Stone Cold” Steve Austin fan, but it seems like she’s taking The Texas Rattlesnake’s “Don’t Trust Anybody” mantra to an extreme in recent weeks. Is there any chance of reconciliation?
WHAT
>Braun Strowman is a Monster Among Men and a Maestro Among Monsters
“The Ballad of Elias” is a sad, sad song. After being crushed beneath a piano by Braun Strowman this past Monday night on Raw — a fate more befitting Wile E. Coyote than a WWE Superstar — the troubadour left Raw on a stretcher and was rushed to a local medical facility. The Monster Among Men, meanwhile, celebrated his victory in WWE’s first-ever Symphony of Destruction Match, continuing his seemingly unstoppable rampage on The Road to WrestleMania.
As Elias recuperates, the WWE Universe awaits Strowman’s next masterpiece. How will he follow up on his painful piano solo?
<Will Ronda Rousey regret putting her hands on Stephanie McMahon?
This past Monday night, we learned that Ronda Rousey will team with Raw General Manager Kurt Angle to take on Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and WWE COO Triple H in a Mixed Tag Team Match at WrestleMania.
A physical altercation soon followed, and The Game found himself struggling to escape from the excruciating Angle Lock while Stephanie succumbed to a powerhouse maneuver from Rousey.
Just a week after signing with Team Red, Rousey is wasting little time making waves. Will Stephanie and Triple H retaliate against their Show of Shows opponents this week?
>When will “The Ultimate Deletion” take place?
“The Ultimate Deletion” is upon us, and the battleground has been chosen.
After “Woken” Matt Hardy invited Bray Wyatt to The Hardy Compound for the final battle in the “Great War,” The Eater of Worlds accepted the challenge via social media.
Bray Wyatt✔@WWEBrayWyatt

SmackDown LIVE preview, March 13, 2018: AJ Styles gets ready for WrestleMania and Shinsuke Nakamura
WWE Champion AJ Styles survived a Six-Pack Challenge to hold onto his WWE Championship and ensure that the highly anticipated dream match between him and Shinsuke Nakamura was still on for WrestleMania. The Phenomenal One minced no words in saying what he has planned for WWE’s Rockstar on The Grandest Stage of Them All. What will happen between the two competitors as the road to New Orleans heats up? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network.
>Shane McMahon to make a WrestleMania announcement
>starting the show with a promo again
SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon shocked the WWE Universe at WWE Fastlane on Sunday when he prevented Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn from capturing the WWE Championship. Though these actions came after Owens inadvertently superkicked the SmackDown LIVE Commissioner, McMahon doubled down on his actions during Talking Smack, showing no remorse for costing two of Team Blue’s Superstars the chance to win its top title.
Owens took to social media shortly after WWE Fastlane to air his grievances:''''
Kevin Owens✔@FightOwensFight
I should be @WWE Champion right now.
<boo hoo
It seems as though there will be no slowing down for SmackDown LIVE's Commissioner. McMahon will be making a WrestleMania announcement on SmackDown LIVE tonight. Will it have anything to do with the "Yep!" Movement, or has Shane-O-Mac come up with a complete surprise for the WWE Universe?
>Asuka to make her first SmackDown LIVE appearance after challenging Charlotte Flair
>m-maybe this will make people watch smackdown
After defeating Ruby riotttttttttt to retain her SmackDown Women’s Championship on Sunday, Charlotte Flair got a major surprise, as Raw Superstar Asuka arrived to declare that she’d use the WrestleMania championship opportunity she won in the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match to challenge The Queen.
With Flair putting her title up against Asuka’s undefeated streak in New Orleans, how will she begin to prepare for the biggest match of her career?
Plus, The Empress of Tomorrow will be making her first-ever appearance on SmackDown LIVE tonight. What does Asuka have planned?
>AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura’s Road to WrestleMania begins
With his WWE Championship successfully defended in a grueling Six-Pack Challenge at WWE Fastlane, AJ Styles confirmed that he will take on The Artist Known as Shinsuke Nakamura on The Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania.
The Phenomenal One minced no words in stating his plans for WWE’s Rockstar in New Orleans. How will Nakamura respond as the Road to WrestleMania heats up?
>How will Randy Orton deal with the target on his back?
Randy Orton added another accolade to his incredible resume at WWE Fastlane when he defeated Bobby Roode to capture the United States Championship for the first time in his career and become a Grand Slam Champion in the process.
There was little time to celebrate, as Jinder Mahal arrived to confront The Viper. Mahal, who has declared himself the “uncrowned U.S. Champion,” attacked Orton until Roode floored The Modern Day Maharaja with a Glorious DDT. The former champion then planted the new titleholder into the mat with another Glorious DDT. How quickly can The Apex Predator adapt to the huge target that’s now on his back as WrestleMania draws closer?
>How have The Bludgeon Brothers changed the SmackDown Tag Team division?
Not much at all because you don't let them fucking do anything, Road Dogg.
FIVE YEARS
The New Day and The Usos have been laser-focused on each other in recent weeks when, perhaps, they should have been worrying about the monsters lurking around the corner. After months of causing wanton destruction on SmackDown LIVE, The Bludgeon Brothers sent a devastating message to Team Blue’s two top tandems.
Harper & Rowan demolished all five Superstars in unsettling fashion, leaving Xavier Woods with multiple thoracic contusions following a Double Powerbomb on the steel ringside steps. It was a clear warning that The Bludgeon Brothers are coming for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. The question is: Can anyone or anything stop Harper & Rowan? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network.

Kitamura "Best of Seven Series" Match 7
>Manabu Nakanishi vs Katsuya Kitamura
While I liked their last match in the series this feels like a major let down especially as the finish of this best of seven. Hopefully kita goes over to ring of honor after losing
>Henare, Finlay and JEWS Vs. Yano Ishii and Goto
Probably to set up NJ Cup stuff, but I hope it leads to JEWS vs Goto for the never title
IWGP JR. TAG CHAMPIONSHIPS 3 way match
>RPG 3k VS Hiromu Takahashi and bushi VS El Desperado and Yoshinobu Kanemaru
Should be an awesome match, 2 of the 3 teams are some of the best New japan has to offer, and Desperado is one of my boys so I'm really lookin forward to this.
>Yoshi-Hashi VS. Sanada
Continuing LIJ vs Chaos, Not sure how I feel about it as both naito and okada have moved on to different things
>Naito vs Taichi
This is going to be absolutely amazing and if you watched their takataichimania match you'd know why I think so. Chris Jericho 100% guaranteed to run in otherwise that match ain't happening
IWGP INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
>Togi Makabe vs Minoru Suzuki
Makabe's first title match in like 3 years, hopefully he brings it. Suzuki is the perfect opponent to work against for him too since his style can be worked around anyone……. MUTING

SmackDown LIVE preview, March 6, 2018: Styles dukes it out with The Showoff
With just five days left until WWE Fastlane, two of the competitors in the WWE Championship Six-Pack Challenge will not be taking it easy, as The Road to WrestleMania heats up. WWE Champion AJ Styles will clash with Dolph Ziggler before this Sunday’s huge title showdown. Will Styles gain momentum heading into WWE Fastlane, or will Ziggler show that he’s out to steal the show (and The Phenomenal One’s place) on The Grandest Stage of Them All? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>Randy Orton battles Jinder Mahal before his first-ever U.S. Title Match at WWE Fastlane
Why? This feud is already dead.
This Sunday at WWE Fastlane, Randy Orton will face Bobby Roode in The Viper’s first-ever match for the United States Championship. But before he can turn 100 percent of his focus to The Glorious One, The Viper will have to deal with another thorn in his side, Jinder Mahal.
The Modern Day Maharaja has been trying to stir up trouble between Orton and Roode in recent weeks, using the SmackDown LIVE Top 10 Superstars List to drive a wedge between the two, setting off a few melees in the meantime. Surely, Mahal is looking to slither into a title opportunity of his own in the near future. Will he be able to make a major statement against The Viper on SmackDown LIVE?
>WWE Champion AJ Styles faces Dolph Ziggler ahead of Six-Pack Challenge
Just five days before they compete in what is sure to be a grueling Six-Pack Challenge for the WWE Title at WWE Fastlane, champion AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler will square off on Smackdown LIVE.
The WWE Champion will be looking to ride a victory into the biggest title defense of his reign, while Ziggler will be out to steal the show and perhaps show the champion that his title (and his place at WrestleMania) are in danger. Who will win this all-important battle?
<Charlotte Flair and Ruby riotttttttttt come face to face before SmackDown Women’s Title Match
With Charlotte Flair and Ruby riotttttttttt both holding victories over their rival’s two closest allies, there’s only “one to go” for each Superstar when they clash for The Queen’s SmackDown Women’s Championship this Sunday at WWE Fastlane.
But before they lock up on Sunday, the two rivals will come face to face on SmackDown LIVE. What will the champion and the leader of The riotttttttttt Squad have to say? Will they be able to keep from brawling before their championship showdown?
>Will Becky Lynch and Carmella come to blows?
Last Tuesday during SmackDown LIVE, Carmella was answering questions from the WWE Universe on social media, but soon turned to mocking Becky Lynch with Natalya. The Irish Lass Kicker didn’t take too kindly to the insults and issued a challenge to Ms. Money in the Bank.
The two continued to trade barbs on social media, with Lynch landing a particularly devastating blow on Twitter:
Rebecca Quin✔@BeckyLynchWWE
See you Tuesday @CarmellaWWE
10:38 AM - Mar 4, 2018

WWE Raw preview, March 5, 2018: Asuka settles the score with Nia Jax
As Asuka sets her sights on her Women’s Championship opportunity at WrestleMania, she’ll first need to battle Nia Jax again this Monday night on Raw. Will The Empress of Tomorrow’s undefeated streak remain intact heading into The Show of Shows?
<Asuka’s undefeated streak on the line against Nia Jax
Asuka was able to defeat Nia Jax this past Sunday night at WWE Elimination Chamber, but The Irresistible Force has some unfinished business with The Empress of Tomorrow.
The 2018 Women’s Royal Rumble Match winner is focused on her Women’s Championship Match at WrestleMania, but whether Asuka will be undefeated that night in New Orleans depends greatly on what happens this Monday night in Milwaukee. Can Asuka withstand another encounter with Nia en route to The Showcase of the Immortals?
>rocky's cousin family boost vs NEVER LOSES LOL
<How will Ronda Rousey repay Triple H and Stephanie McMahon?
After Ronda Rousey forced Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon to apologize for slapping her at WWE Elimination Chamber, Triple H laid out Raw General Manager Kurt Angle with a cheap shot that left The Olympic Hero laid out on the mat.
Following the altercation, Rousey took to social media to remind Stephanie and The Game that “This is far from over,” hinting that retribution for their actions was forthcoming.
Whatever Rousey does next, you won’t want to miss it.
Yes I will.
>Why didn’t Lesnar confront Reigns?
Because he's a lazy shit that only does PPVs and a couple promos and Vince won't kick his ass into gear to make him do his job or fire him.
Although Roman Reigns was set to meet Universal Champion Brock Lesnar in the middle of the ring this past Monday night on Raw, six weeks before their WrestleMania match, The Beast Incarnate was nowhere to be seen.
In Lesnar’s absence, The [LOUD BOOING] saw fit to rant about The Conqueror, calling him “an entitled piece of crap who hides behind his contract,” claiming that Lesnar doesn’t respect the WWE Universe or any of his fellow Superstars.
Paul Heyman has been uncharacteristically silent on the issue, merely stating in a tweet on Thursday that Lesnar will honor his contractual obligations at WWE Live Events. However, Heyman has yet to respond to Reigns’ harsh words. What does this all mean for the Universal Championship Match at WrestleMania?
>Who will face The Miz at WrestleMania?
After defeating Intercontinental Champion The Miz in back-to-back matches this past Monday night on Raw, both Seth Rollins and Finn Bálor have seemingly put themselves in contention for a title opportunity against The A-Lister at WrestleMania in New Orleans, much to Miz’s dismay.
How will Raw General Manager Kurt Angle address the WrestleMania future of these three Superstars on Raw?
Remember the Shield reunion? Nah.
>Will Elias “get these hands”?
This past Monday night on Raw, Elias evaded Braun Strowman’s onslaught in their one-on-one battle when he temporarily blinded The Monster Among Men with a fire extinguisher, helping the troubadour escape through the backstage area.
Elias was lucky that night, but something tells us he’ll be far less fortunate if he encounters Strowman in Milwaukee.
Don’t miss Raw at 8/7 C, live on WWE Network.
>the show will be so exciting they didn't even bother putting an exclamation point on the final sentence
NJPW Honor Rising Tour
About a week away from the shows but a ton of news has come out about them as well as the anniversary show after that so I figured may as well make the thread now.
Start times are
Night-1 2/23/18, 1:30 PST, 3:30 CST, 4:30 EST
Night-2 2/24/18. 1:30 PST, 3:30 CST, 4:30 EST
The big new stories for these shows are, in order of importance,
MAIN EVENT CHASE OWENS
Kitamura match 7 NOT on the show, instead it's a rematch of nakanishi at the anniversary show (extremely gay decision, probably the worst one I've seen from NJPW so far)
Omega and ibushi are the main events both nights, and chase teaming with them seems to suggest that the tongans are going to be working against Cody.
Goto is giving a never title shot to some FATASS FUCK that no one gives a shit about
Jay white is teaming with a man who called him a "knife pervert" on twitter
CHEESEBURGER IS CHALLENGING FOR A TITLE
It's pretty incredible how much NJPW storylines have taken over ROH compared to last months CMLL show. 70% of this card is all NJPW guys mostly compared to maybe 30% with fantasticamania. Also you have jay lethal there why not have him challenge goto for the never belt? Also in less big news Omega and Ibushi just got signed to a show I'm going to in New Orleans for wrestlemania weekend so I'm really happy about that.

SmackDown LIVE preview, Feb. 27, 2018: Does John Cena’s Road to WrestleMania run through SmackDown LIVE?
After a disappointing performance in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match on Sunday, John Cena vowed that his Road to WrestleMania was not cut short, promising to find a way to The Show of Shows. Last night on Raw, the 16-time World Champion revealed that while he may not have a way into WrestleMania through the red brand, he bolieves the door is wide open on SmackDown LIVE. The free agent has vowed to show up tonight, but how does Cena plan on getting to WrestleMania? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>John Cena comes to SmackDown LIVE looking for a WrestleMania opportunity
After seeing his Road to WrestleMania take a detour at WWE Elimination Chamber due to his ouster from the bout at the hands of Braun Strowman, John Cena somberly reflected on his legendary career on Raw Talk while seemingly turning the gears in his head, looking for another opportunity to perform on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Monday night on Raw, Cena defiantly claimed that he will never give up in his quest to make it to New Orleans. The free agent declared that he would be heading to SmackDown LIVE tonight to take advantage of The Land of Opportunity that Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan have created. But just how does Cena intend to make sure his Road to WrestleMania runs through SmackDown LIVE?
<Naomi steps up to answer Ruby riotttttttttt’s challenge
Last week, Ruby riotttttttttt pinned Becky Lynch in Six-Woman Tag Team action, getting a title opportunity at WWE Fastlane in the process. That didn’t stop the riotttttttttt Squad leader from calling out one of the champion’s closest allies, Naomi, promising to knock her lights out.
Naomi is more than ready to take on riotttttttttt in singles competition, though she’ll have to be weary of Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan lurking at ringside. Will riotttttttttt make good on her promise, or will Naomi make her feel the glow?
>Sami Zayn battles Baron Corbin ahead of WWE Fastlane Fatal 5-Way
Last week’s SmackDown LIVE went off the air with Baron Corbin standing tall, having planted Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn into the canvas with End of Days after the two tried to attack him following his grueling loss to WWE Champion AJ Styles. Though he was not victorious, The Lone Wolf sent a message that he will be a serious threat during the WWE Championship Fatal 5-Way at WWE Fastlane.
Corbin will get another opportunity at payback tonight on SmackDown LIVE when he goes one-on-one with Zayn. Will Zayn be able to escape the wrath of The Lone Wolf?
>The Usos and The New Day renew their rivalry ahead of WWE Fastlane
WHY
FUCKING WHY
THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE OTHER TEAMS ON THE SD ROSTER
FUCKING USE THEM

Raw preview, Feb. 26, 2018: Roman Reigns to come face-to-face with Brock Lesnar tonight
In the wake of WWE Elimination Chamber, Monday Night Raw goes into overdrive on The Road to WrestleMania. How will the historical pay-per-view turn Team Red upside-down?
>Roman Reigns to come face-to-face with Brock Lesnar
Prior to Roman Reigns emerging victorious in the 2018 Men’s Elimination Chamber Match, Paul Heyman informed the WWE Universe that the winner of the career-altering free-for-all will come face-to-face with Universal Champion Brock Leaser tonight on Raw.
Despite The Conqueror’s history of destruction, though, it’s worth mentioning that The Beast has not battled The [LOUD BOOING] in a one-on-one showdown since WrestleMania 31, a title bout that neither man won thanks to Seth Rollins famously cashing in his Money in the Bank contract mid-match. With so much unchecked aggression still existing between them, will the adversaries even make it to their rematch on The Greatest Stage of Them All? Will there be anything left of Raw when all is said and done?
>Will Asuka challenge Alexa Bliss at WrestleMania?
At Royal Rumble, Asuka triumphed over 29 other Superstars to win the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match and punch her ticket to WrestleMania 34. However, The Empress of Tomorrow opted to hold off until after WWE Elimination Chamber to choose whether she would face the SmackDown or Raw Women’s Champion at The Showcase of the Immortals. Enter Five Feet of Fury.
Last night, Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss survived the menacing structure and now seems more confident than ever. Will Auska finally choose to battle The Goddess of WWE, a Superstar she has already defeated? Or will she wait until SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte faces Ruby riottttttttt at WWE Fastlane to make her final decision? The clock is ticking, and it is still not clear if anyone is ready for Asuka.
>What will happen if Ronda Rousey shows up on Raw tonight?
At WWE Elimination Chamber, Ronda Rousey’s Contract Signing descended into all-out bedlam. Thanks in part to instigation from Raw General Manager Kurt Angle, The Baddest Woman on the Planet slammed Triple H through a table before officially signing her way onto the Monday Night Raw roster.
Considering that she has attacked the boss, will Rousey see her WWE career come to a screeching halt before it even gets started? And after Raw Commission Stephanie McMahon slapped Rousey and made it clear that Rousey “has some explaining to do,” what further repercussions may occur if she shows up to the red brand tonight? In addition, Stephanie also declared that Angle is going to have to apologize for his part in the chaos and that she, Triple H, Angle and Rousey are going to air everything out. Will Rousey allow herself to be managed?
>Is John Cena going to WrestleMania?
yes
As incredible as John Cena’s performance was in the first-ever Seven Man Elimination Chamber Match, the defeat of the longtime Leader of Cenation left him emotionally conflicted on Raw Talk, where he wondered whether he will make it to WrestleMania this year.
In a curious statement, Cena hinted that while he doesn’t have an opponent at WrestleMania, he may have a plan to get one that may force him to step out the etiquette of WWE. But before he could explain himself, the 16-time world Champion abruptly left the interview. What did Cena mean? And will the WWE Universe find out in the coming weeks on Raw?
Are Booley and Sasha Banks still friends?
no
Out of all the shocking moments in the first-ever Women’s Elimination Chamber Match, perhaps none were as surprising as Sasha Banks turning on her “best friend” Booley. One has to wonder what the repercussions of The Boss’ actions will be. Will Booley look to hug it out? Or will she show prove that Raw has no fury like a woman scorned.

SmackDown LIVE preview, Feb. 20, 2018: Charlotte Flair’s quest for payback on The riottt Squad continues in Six-Woman Tag Team action
Over the past two weeks, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair has been picking apart The riottt Squad as payback for the vicious attack that nearly cost her the title. After The Queen defeated Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan in singles competition, jewby riottt issued a challenge to Flair, Becky Lynch & Naomi for a Six-Woman Tag Team throwdown. What will happen in this heated brawl? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!
<Charlotte Flair, Naomi & Becky Lynch to battle The riottt Squad tonight on SmackDown LIVE
Charlotte Flair’s quest for payback on The riottt Squad will explode tonight when the SmackDown Women’s Champion teams up with Becky Lynch and Naomi to battle jewby riottt, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan on SmackDown LIVE.
The riottt Squad left Charlotte unconscious for the first time in her career, nearly costing The Queen her title. Though Flair did not lose the championship, she vowed to get retribution on her attackers. She walked into the lion’s den, facing Liv Morgan by herself with riottt & Logan on the outside. When the other two riottt Squad members were ejected from ringside, Charlotte earned the victory, then made her intentions clear afterward, saying “one down, two to go.”
One week later, she took on Logan, this time with Lynch and Naomi in her corner. With the odds evened, The riottt Squad did not meddle in the match, and Flair picked up another win.
In a video posted to jewby riottt’s Twitter, The riottt Squad issued the challenge for a six-woman showdown, saying that it’s only a matter of time before Flair’s whole world crumbles.
>How will WWE Champion AJ Styles deal with his upcoming Fatal 5-Way Match?
Last Tuesday, WWE Champion AJ Styles went into SmackDown LIVE with only two opponents challenging for his title at WWE Fastlane. By the end of the night, The Phenomenal One had four challengers, as Dolph Ziggler and Baron Corbin earned their way into what has become a Fatal 5-Way Match.
Styles has made it clear that he’s not the biggest fan of how Daniel Bryan has been handling the situation with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, but what will he have to say now that Bryan and McMahon’s decision-making has backed him into a corner on The Road to WrestleMania?
>The New Day to battle Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable on SmackDown LIVE
SmackDown LIVE has just gotten “serious.”
One week after Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable interrupted Big E’s attempt to BREAK an all-time pancake-eating record — an insulting interruption that preceded a loss to The New Day — SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan has decreed that the teams will square off once again this week, and the winners will challenge The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at WWE Fastlane.
Bryan made the announcement on Twitter.
Daniel Bryan✔@WWEDanielBryan
I’ve heard enough insults and pancakes being thrown around. So I'm making it official. #TheNewDay will take on @wwegable and @sheltyb803 on #SDLive… and the winner will face @WWEUsos at #WWEFastlane!
Benjamin & Gable are looking for “serious” competition and view the BREAKfast-favorable trio as a joke, despite their four Tag Team Championship reigns across Raw and SmackDown LIVE. Tonight, they’ll learn just how serious The New Day can be.
>Is Bobby Roode’s U.S. Title reign in danger?
The Glorious One is out to prove that he’s a fighting United States Champion, and last week, he issued an open challenge to anyone willing to step up, though he really wanted Randy Orton to answer the call after being RKO’d by The Viper last week.
Bobby Roode nearly got his wish when The Viper arrived, but Jinder Mahal followed to cut the proceedings short and stir the pot between The Viper and the United States Champion. The Modern Day Maharaja set off a brawl that led to Mahal hitting both Roode and Orton with his patented Khallas. Orton has vowed that he’s coming after Roode’s title, but with Mahal ready to interject himself, will he have a clear road to the star-spangled championship?
>I HEAR VOICES IN MY HEAD THEY COMFORT ME THEY UNDERSTAND I'M DEMOTED TO THE US TITLE SCENE
>Are The Bludgeon Brothers on the hunt for The Usos?
FUCKING FINALLY
The Usos continued to explain why they have the rest of the Smackdown LIVE Tag Team division on lockdown, but Jimmy & Jey’s message was cut short by The Bludgeon Brothers. Appearing in front of a monitor that was playing the SmackDown Tag Team Champions’ missive, Harper & Rowan wielded their mighty war hammers and smashed the screen to pieces.
Now that the champions are seemingly in the crosshairs of The Bludgeon Brothers, is The Uso Penitentiary in danger of demolition?

REE 2/19/2018 Gauntlet Edition
WWE Raw preview, Feb. 19, 2018: Who will run the Gauntlet before WWE Elimination Chamber?
Following last week’s controversial main event, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle announced that seven men will compete in an Elimination Chamber Match for the first time ever next Sunday. How will John Cena, Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, Intercontinental Champion The Miz and Elias respond when they face off in a huge Gauntlet Match this Monday night on Raw?
>The seven Superstars who will compete in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match to face off in a huge Gauntlet Match
For the first time ever, seven Superstars will compete inside the Elimination Chamber next Sunday, with the winner going on to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania. However, this Monday night on Raw, those same Superstars will square off in a huge Gauntlet Match ahead of their history making Chamber clash, WWE.com can confirm.
With only six days to go until WWE Elimination Chamber, how will John Cena, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Finn Bálor, Elias and Intercontinental Champion The Miz physically and mentally react to the grueling nature of a Gauntlet Match? And which Superstar will try to make the ultimate statement by running the gauntlet, proving both their staying power and endurance as they all aim to head into the Elimination Chamber with massive momentum? Find out this Monday night on Raw.
''''
<How will Asuka respond to Nia Jax?
Nia Jax proved that she is the Superstar most ready for Asuka when she laid out both Sasha Banks and Booley this past Monday night on Raw. With Asuka set to speak live on Raw, will The Empress of Tomorrow send a message of her own to The Irresistible Force before their match at WWE Elimination Chamber?
>What will Braun Strowman BREAK next?
Braun Strowman showed off some unexpected vocal range this past Monday night when he taunted Elias in song before delivering a “smash hit” to the troublesome troubadour with an upright bass.
The Monster Among Men and Elias will both compete in the Seven-Man Elimination Chamber Match — in which the songsmith will enter last — but something tells us that Strowman isn’t quite finished with Elias or the other five men competing in the perilous contest. Who will “get these hands” on the final Raw before WWE Elimination Chamber?
<The Women’s Elimination Chamber Match participants will square off in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match
With the first-ever Women’s Elimination Chamber Match for the Raw Women’s Championship only six days away, the participants will get the chance to square off in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match as Booley, Sasha Banks & Mickie James take on Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville.
With WWE Elimination Chamber looming, who will assert dominance in this final showdown prior to stepping inside the unrelenting structure? And how will dynamics such as Bliss’ attempting to regain the favor of Mickie and the apparent frostiness between Banks and Booley play into the contest?

SmackDown LIVE preview, Feb. 13, 2018: Ziggler and Corbin square off for WWE Title opportunity at WWE Fastlane

<Charlotte Flair continues her quest for payback against The riottt Squad
Last week on SmackDown LIVE, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair defeated The riottt Squad’s Liv Morgan, then made a bold claim: “One down, two to go.” The Queen’s quest for payback continues this week when she faces Sarah Logan.
Charlotte had to face 3-on-1 odds against Morgan last week, until jewby riottt and Logan were thrown out by the official, which gave The Queen the opening to defeat the feisty New Jersey native. However, the SmackDown Women’s Champion is once again walking into a battle where she’ll be at a distinct disadvantage, as The riottt Squad still have the numbers in their favor. Will Charlotte once again score a victory over a member of the vicious trio?
>Bobby Roode issues a United States Open Challenge
The Glorious One, who ranked No. 5 in the first-ever SmackDown LIVE Top 10 List, is determined to prove he’s a fighting United States Champion and possibly move up in the rankings. Tonight on SmackDown, Bobby Roode will aim to do that when he issues a United States Open Challenge. Plenty of competitors seem to have Roode in their sights, including Rusev and Randy Orton, who shocked the WWE Universe last week by dropping The Bulgarian Brute, Aiden English and Roode with RKOs last Tuesday.
Who will answer The Boringus One’s call for competition? Will they be able to take the star-spangled championship from Roode?
>The New Day take on Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin
Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin have made it clear that they are on a mission to rid SmackDown LIVE of any team that doesn’t take competition seriously. After picking up wins over SmackDown’s resident sleuths Breezango and their best pals, The Ascension, the mat-wrestling masters are aiming their sights at one of the most successful tag teams in history: The New Day.
Kofi Kingston, Big E & Xavier Woods love to have fun, eat pancakes and ensure that the WWE Universe is anything but booty – there’s no doubting that. However, if Gable & Benjamin think that The New Day don’t take things seriously when the bell rings, they may be in for a rude awakening, courtesy of the longest-reigning tag team champions in WWE history.
Who will walk out of this hard-hitting battle with a victory? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!

WWE Raw preview, Feb. 12, 2018: Four Superstars get a “second chance” to enter the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match
Live on Raw, Finn Bálor, “Woken” Matt Hardy, Apollo Crews and Bray Wyatt will collide in a Second Chance Fatal 4-Way Match to determine the final entrant in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match on Sunday, Feb. 25, with the winner of that bout going on to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania.
>Final Superstar in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match to be determined
Finn Bálor, “Woken” Matt Hardy, Apollo Crews and Bray Wyatt — four Superstars who failed to qualify for the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match in recent weeks — will collide in a Second Chance Fatal 4-Way Match on Raw. The bout will decide the final Superstar to compete in the perilous clash inside the structure on Sunday, Feb. 25.
Bálor and Crews have made clear their intent to make the most of this unexpected opportunity, while the escalating rivalry between The Woken One and The Eater of Worlds adds an air of instability to the high-stakes match with WrestleMania implications.

Raw General Manager Kurt Angle has announced that Sasha Banks and Booley will square off tonight on Raw.
Banks and Booley have been somewhat at odds over the past several weeks since both have suffered losses to the undefeated Asuka. The Boss and The booable one had a tense exchange last week on Raw where they threw thinly veiled insults at one another in reference to their competitive past against.

>Braun Strowman stands tall, even in defeat
Elias pinned John Cena to win last week’s Triple Threat Match to determine the final Superstar to enter the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match. Yet, it was Braun Strowman who looked like the true victor when the dust cleared after laying out his foes with ring-shaking Running Powerslams.
The sinister songsmith might have earned an advantage in the six-man bout to determine Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship challenger at WrestleMania, but The Monster Among Men has emerged as an odds-on favorite to battle The Beast Incarnate at The Showcase of the Immortals.

>Reigns battles Wyatt in Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match
Last week, three hard-hitting Qualifying Matches determined that Braun Strowman, Elias and John Cena would compete in the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match on Sunday, Feb. 25, with the winner of that hellacious bout going on to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at The Showcase of the Immortals, WrestleMania.
However, there are three slots left in the match, and WWE.com can now confirm that Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt will clash one-on-one on Raw for the right to enter the structure, where WrestleMania glory will be on the line.
Gee, I wonder who will win this one. Also, so much for the Bray vs BROKEN Matt feud.

Asuka defeated Botcha Banks in an autistic matchup this past Monday night. And while the entire WWE Universe awaits the 2018 Women’s Royal Rumble Match winner’s decision as to which title she will challenge for at WrestleMania, the Raw Women’s division shifts its focus to Sunday, Feb. 25, when the first Women’s Elimination Chamber Match in history is waged for the Raw Women’s Championship.
We already know that Little Miss Bliss will be entering the formidable structure to defend her prize, but who else is going in? Look for female Superstars to be confirmed tonight for this anticipated and history-making match.
>wymyn's title is going to be a fatal six way
>What’s next for The Miz?
With a little help from his co-stars, The Miztourage, The Miz defeated Roman Reigns in their Intercontinental Title rematch this past Monday night on Raw. This brings The A-Lister that much closer to walking under the bright lights of WrestleMania with Team Red’s workhorse championship around his waist.
Now that The [LOUD BOOING] has been turned back, will we see a new challenger step up to the “must-see” Intercontinental Champion? We’ll find out on Raw.
>The Bar is raised
After Ja[LOUD BOOING]an’s injury transformed Royal Rumble’s Raw Tag Team Championship bout into a glorified 2-on-1 Handicap Match, Cesaro & Sheamus defeated Seth Rollins and the “gold-blooded” son of Kurt Angle to become four-time champions. After the brawlers put away Titus Worldwide the following night on Raw, all eyes are on The Celtic Warrior and The Swiss Cyborg as they once again rule over Team Red’s tandem division.
Can Cesaro & Sheamus walk into WrestleMania with the Raw Tag Team Titles?
>“Top Guys” finally live up to their nickname
Injuries have plagued The Revival and fucked all their pushes since their debut on Raw last year, but Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder finally seem to be clicking like the “old-school” teams they emulate, picking up back-to-back victories over Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson (JUST) and Heath Slater & Rhyno (JOB) on the Royal Rumble Kickoff and Raw, respectively.

SmackDown LIVE preview, Feb. 6, 2018: Zayn and Owens clash for WWE Title opportunity at WWE Fastlane
Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn’s “Yep!” Movement began to show cracks after last Tuesday, when Daniel Bryan revealed that they would face each other this week in a match to determine WWE Champion AJ Styles’ next challenger at WWE Fastlane. The tension between the two best friends boiled over in their Tag Team Match against Styles & Shinsuke Nakamura, leading to Zayn walking out on KO. What will happen when these two clash in a high-stakes battle? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network.
>Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to battle for a WWE Title opportunity at WWE Fastlane tonight on SmackDown LIVE
SmackDown LIVE ended with fractures beginning to show in the friendship between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Tonight, the two best friends will get a chance to take out their frustrations on each other when they battle for the right to challenge WWE Champion AJ Styles at WWE Fastlane.
The “Yep!” Movement began to tear apart at the seams during a tag team battle pitting Owens & Zayn against Styles & Shinsuke Nakamura. Following their loss to The Phenomenal One at the Royal Rumble event, the two were clearly not on the same page, bickering throughout the bout. After Styles sent Owens crashing into his friend, a fed-up Zayn walked out on the match, leaving KO to fend for himself against the WWE Champion and WWE’s Rockstar, and the bout ended with Owens falling to Nakamura’s devastating Kinshasa knee strike.
After the match, Renee Young approached Zayn in the backstage area and asked him if this was the end of he and Owens’ friendship. Zayn said that it wasn’t, but that this was his time to shine. He declared that after next week, he won’t be known as simply “Kevin Owens’ best friend;” he’ll be known as the guy who beat Kevin Owens and became WWE Champion at WWE Fastlane.
Will Zayn’s predictions come true? Find out when these two best friends collide on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>Bobby Roode defends the United States Championship against Rusev tonight on SmackDown LIVE
After winning a Fatal 4-Way Match, Rusev has earned the right to challenge United States Champion Bobby Roode tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
The Bulgarian Brute bested Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder and Jinder Mahal in an action-packed Fatal 4-Way Match last Tuesday to earn the opportunity to face The Glorious One, then immediately rolled out of the ring to stare down Roode, who was at the announce table.
In a video later that night, Rusev declared that their championship showdown would be Roode’s swan song with the star-spangled title. The champion responded by declaring that even though their showdown may fall on Rusev Day, the outcome of the battle will be nothing short of … GLORIOUS!

The Phenomenal One would not have to wait long to find out what awaits him in New Orleans on Sunday, April 8, as Shinsuke Nakamura eliminated Roman Reigns to win the 2018 Men’s Royal Rumble Match and wasted no time declaring that he was coming for Styles’ WWE Title on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

>What’s next for The Usos?

Jimmy & Jey Uso showed why they are the top tag team on SmackDown LIVE at the Royal Rumble event, pulling off a clean sweep victory over Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match to retain their SmackDown Tag Team Titles.

After outlasting 29 other Superstars in the historic first-ever 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match, Asuka was set to decide which Women’s Championship she would challenge for at WrestleMania. Yet, the sudden, jaw-dropping appearance of UFC star Ronda Rousey caused chaos as the event concluded.

Donning the jacket of WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, UFC’s Ronda Rousey shockingly appeared last night at the Royal Rumble event to confront Asuka, the winner of the first-ever 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match, along with Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss and SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair.
Rousey made it clear that she was going to WrestleMania, but her sudden emergence in WWE has clouded the Team Red Women’s division. What did her handshake with Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon mean? What exactly is Rousey planning for this year’s Show of Shows? And how will it be addressed tonight on Raw?
>Jonathan Coachman signs with WWE, joins Raw announce team tonight
Ladies and gentlemen, “The Coach” has returned.
Jonathan Coachman, a longtime WWE interviewer and broadcaster and former ESPN personality, has signed with WWE to once again be part of the Raw announce team, WWE.com can confirm.
Coachman’s TV announcing duties will officially begin tonight, when he joins Michael Cole and Corey Graves at the Team Red announce desk.
Meanwhile, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T will resume his duties as a panelist on WWE’s pay-per-view Kickoff broadcasts and will continue to make appearances on Raw and beyond as a WWE ambassador.
The Coach began appearing on WWE television as an interviewer in 1999 during The Attitude Era as a frequent foil of The Rock, later expanding his role to include tenures as Raw commentator, Interim Raw General Manager and even as an in-ring competitor on multiple occasions.
Following nearly a decade as an on-air personality at ESPN — which included coverage of WWE with his “Off the Top Rope” segment — Coachman is back to call the action on Monday Night Raw.
Don’t miss The Coach’s return to Raw commentary tonight, beginning live at 8/7 C on USA Network.

>Can The Miz carry the Intercontinental Title all the way to WrestleMania?
Last Monday night at Raw 25, The Miz captured his eighth Intercontinental Championship at the expense of Roman Reigns, and although The A-Lister was unsuccessful in winning the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match — that accolade went to SmackDown LIVE’s Shinsuke Nakamura — he nevertheless has reason to boast on Raw tonight in Philadelphia, as he looks to wear his Intercontinental Title under the bright lights of WrestleMania.
Will Miz be successful in his quest, or will The [LOUD BOOING] retaliate and recapture his prize? We’ll no doubt hear from the “must-see” champion and its former bearer tonight.
>How will Seth Rollins respond to last night’s defeat?
Last night at the Royal Rumble event, Sheamus & Cesaro became four-time Raw Tag Team Champions by defeating Seth Rollins & Ja[LOUD BOOING]an, although the “gold-blooded” Superstar never actually competed in the bout due to an apparent injury at ringside.
After he succumbed to a costly two-on-one assault at the hands of The Bar, The Kingslayer probably has a lot on his mind. How will Rollins deal with this unfortunate defeat, and what will have to say to Jordan?
>What havoc will Braun Strowman wreak?
In an absolutely hellacious brawl last night in Philadelphia — which is really saying something given the city’s ECW history — Brock Lesnar defeated Braun Strowman and Kane to retain his Universal Championship. However, since it was The Big Red Machine and not The Monster Among Men who was pinned, Strowman clearly has unfinished business with The Conqueror.
Given his temperament following the bell, Strowman is clearly in a foul mood. Tonight in the City of Brotherly Love, someone’s going to “get those hands.”

Very Early Royal Rumble 2018 Autistic Bookering Out/Speculation/Early Discussion thread ALSO show
Who's ready to be let down yet again? That's right, the Road to WrestleMania™ is upon us, and it's sure to be fraught with the usual unsatisfying booking decisions that have dogged this once-great company for years. But, let's be honest, if you have any intention of watching WWE television in 2018 then you deserve everything you get from it, because there's little reason to bolieve it'll ever be good again.
As I demonstrated >>88749 here, I know everything there is to know about fantasy booking. All I have to do is write something that sounds pretty cool and makes a bit of sense, and then everyone will lament the current state of the company while eulogizing me as though I were some kind of virtuoso when, in reality, I couldn't book my way out of a paper bag if I had to deal with all of the executive meddling, injuries, egos, moving parts and logistical limitations that trammel the poor souls who ceaselessly slave away in WWE Creative.
So, because I'm lazyanother trait that makes me ineligible to criticize WWE's writers, and because I have very little hope for anything coming after Wrestle Kingdom 12 next year, I'm going to keep my autistic rambling relatively short this time. Go ahead and write your own material if my meager offering doesn't quite sate your appetite for glorified fan fiction.
WWE's big problem is that it has virutally no mainstream interest at the moment. Cena has been doing some shitty comedy movies, and The Rock is still one of Hollywood's top draws, but their success outside of the company doesn't seem to be doing much to help put eyes on WWE's product. They need a miracle worker, and I know just the man to call, brother. WWE needs to be made great again, and to do that it needs to go back to its roots. By bringing the Hulkster back and featuring him in a prominent role, WWE would uncuck itself so hard Trump might have to start inviting Vince to his golf club again.
That's right, Hulkamania runs wild again at the Royal Rumble. Have 64-year-old Hulk Hogan come out as one of the last entrants (#28-#30) and boot some jabronis out of the ring en route to his first Royal Rumble victory in 27 years, absolutely annihilating Triple H's record for most time between Rumble wins in the process. But wait, wouldn't this be controversial? Hogan said some bad things about the black people fiteen years ago, and certainly diehard fans would be a tad miffed that a guy who could hardly take a bump without his hips coming unscrewed won over [flavor of the month IWC darling]?
Well, of course it's controversial! Hell, I bet Twitter would become an unmitigated firestorm of liberal tears and patriottic jubilation for a few days. In other words, t's exactly the sort of event that WWE could use to become relevant again.
As for the concern about young stars having to move over, how about Braun Strowman wipes the floor with old veterans Brock Lesnar and Kane earlier in the show to win his first Universal Championship? I can't think of a WrestleMania main event as old school as Braun Strowman vs. Hulk Hogan, but that still puts a "New Era" guy in the biggest match of the year. Tell me you don't want to see Strowman try to bring about the final end of Hulkamania. I'd have him succeed in that goal, of course, because that's what's best for business. Have Hogan do his routine where he looks disappointed that he lost but still goes out of his way to endorse his victorious opponent, then let him hog the spotlight so he can bid his final farewell to the millions of Hulkamaniacs all around the world. To me, that sounds like an idyllic conclusion to a WrestleMania.
I know the above happening is about as likely as Zombie Chris Benoit rising from his grave to win the Royal Rumble again, but regardless, your thoughts? Other ideas? Predictions? Complaints about other people's waifus?
I'm also currently plotting out a non-lewd pro wrestling /cyoa/ where you get to make your own wrestler and then see if you won a championship tournament based on your choice of moveset, attributes, opponents and whatnot. It's still very much a WIP.

NXT TAKEOVER PHILLY
NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia preview - Jan. 27, 2018: Will Gargano fulfill his dream against Almas?
After an incredible streak of victories, Johnny Gargano will challenge NXT Champion Andrade “Cien” Almas tonight at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia. Will Johnny “Freaking” Wrestling ascend the throne in Philly, or will El Idolo and Zelina Vega formulate a plan to get Gargano off his game?
>NXT Champion Andrade “Cien” Almas vs. Johnny Gargano
Johnny Gargano has gone from a struggling singles career to one victory away from becoming the NXT Champion. Johnny Wrestling’s NXT underdog story will reach its dramatic climax tonight at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia when he challenges Andrade “Cien” Almas for the NXT Championship.
Considering Gargano represents NXT’s version of Rocky Balboa, a true underdog who has come out of nowhere to find himself in a huge title showdown, there may not be a better city to host this matchup than Philadelphia, the city that was famously the backdrop for the “Rocky” movie franchise.
Gargano was never even supposed to be involved in the series of matches to determine Almas’ challenger in the first place. Yet, after learning of an injury to Velveteen Dream, General Manager William Regal inserted the talented Gargano into the fray. The former NXT Tag Team Champion — who had stumbled mightily since transitioning to singles competition — went on to defeat the highly acclaimed Kassius Ohno in a Qualifying Match before overcoming Killian Dain, Aleister Black and Lars Sullivan in a No. 1 Contender’s Fatal 4-Way Match. That’s a Knockout Artist, two monsters and a previously undefeated Superstar, for those keeping count. Gargano even went on to defeat Velveteen Dream on the Jan. 24 episode of NXT after he put his NXT Title Match opportunity on the line.
Before Gargano can claim the NXT Title, he must defeat the red-hot Almas, a Superstar who has similarly gone from a struggling singles career to the top of NXT. Almas’ career resurgence can be traced in part to the arrival of his business manager Zelina Vega, who has helped El Idolo focus and, at times, even offered a helping hand.
This title match won’t be the first time these two competitors have met, with Gargano coming out on the losing side in their previous two battles. However, both clashes included timely interference from Vega. Will Almas’ fiery manager make her presence felt in this title contest? And if so, can Gargano not only overcome the extremely dangerous Almas, but also Vega’s distractions to become the new NXT Champion?
>Aleister Black vs. Adam Cole (Extreme Rules Match)
Aleister Black and Adam Cole will face off in a much-anticipated rematch at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia, but this time it will be under Extreme Rules.
What better way for these two foes to settle their rivalry in The City of Brotherly Love than under an Extreme Rules stipulation? Simply put, when the Dutch destroyer collides with the leader of Undisputed ERA, anything can go — meaning the match cannot end via disqualification or count-out. Black and Cole battled for the first time on the Dec. 13, 2017, episode of NXT in a No. 1 Contender’s Tournament Match. The highly acclaimed grapplers went toe-to-toe in a tremendous match that saw the tattooed striker deliver a Black Mass to keep Cole down for the three-count.
Unfortunately for Black, that was not the last he would see of Cole and his Undisputed ERA partners Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish. The rebellious faction attacked Black during his Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender’s Match, quite possibly costing him an opportunity to challenge for the NXT Title at TakeOver: Philadelphia.
This conflict escalated weeks later when Black joined Roderick Strong in challenging Fish & O’Reilly for the NXT Tag Team Championship. Once again, Cole would make his presence felt, assaulting Black and costing him and Strong the match. Then, following the contest, Cole made an emphatic statement by laying out Black in front of the NXT Universe. As a result, General Manager William Regal announced that Black and Cole would battle head-to-head at TakeOver: Philadelphia in an Extreme Rules Match.
Will Cole continue to shock the system and topple one of NXT’s most dominant Superstars? Or will Black cause his adversary to fade to black yet again? Plus, what type of chaos and mayhem will unfold when two of the world’s greatest in-ring competitors collide under extreme conditions?
This bullshit with Kane, Strowman, and Bork is garbage.
Kane's being screwed here. He's the one with the legacy and it's getting a fucking dookie dumped all over it.
Strowman has nothing to lose and everything to gain, and he will undoubtedly have a huge career ahead of of him.
Bork is a cash cow who can do no wrong with a shrewd kike in his corner.
The only one who's brand is taking a hit here is Kane.
It's fucking retarded.

The Big Dog goes into this title rematch with serious momentum, having defeated both members of The Miztourage in a Handicap Match this past Monday on Raw despite The A-Lister’s attempted intervention. Can Reigns honor his family’s unmatched sports-entertainment legacy during the 25th Anniversary of Raw, or will Miz become an eight-time bearer of WWE’s workhorse championship?
>WWE Legends take over Monday Night Raw
“Oh, hell yeah!”
Attitude Era standard-bearer and WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is making his return to Monday night’s hottest show, and he’s not coming alone. The Texas Rattlesnake will be joined by former champions and iconic competitors from all eras of Raw, including D-Generation X, Chris Jericho, JBL & Ron Simmons, Scott Hall, Torrie Wilson, The Bella Twins and the list goes on.
The only people that don’t seem excited about WWE Legends swarming the Manhattan Center and Brooklyn’s Barclays Center are The Revival, who made it clear last week on Raw that they’re more “old school” than any of the fan-favorites returning for Raw 25. Will Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder eat their words tonight?
>John Cena and SmackDown LIVE Superstars drop by Team Red
Given Raw’s place in sports-entertainment history, SmackDown LIVE will be taking part in the festivities Monday night in New York. In addition to SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan, WWE.com can confirm that WWE Champion AJ Styles, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair, SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos, Natalya and The New Day will appear for the momentous celebration.
The intensity of brand warfare was off the charts late last year before Survivor Series, but we can only hope that SmackDown LIVE’s visit will be an amicable one … right?
Joining the brand-aligned Superstars in the house for Raw 25 will be free agent John Cena, six nights before he battles 29 other Superstars in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match.
>How will Brock Lesnar and Kane respond to Braun Strowman?
It’s been a rollercoaster week for Braun Strowman, but The Monster Among Men has been the one at the controls. When Strowman last encountered Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and Kane — his competitors in Royal Rumble’s anticipated Triple Threat Match — he sent part of the Raw set crashing down on both titans, nearly causing serious injury to two of Team Red’s most feared competitors.
That heinous act got Strowman fired by Raw General Manager Kurt Angle, but his rampage that nearly destroyed a $12 million production truck and sent Michael Cole soaring off the stage got him rehired by Team Red Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. After all, it was the only way to stop him.
Less than one week before the Triple Threat Match at Royal Rumble, Lesnar and Kane return for Raw 25. How will these juggernauts retaliate against the seemingly unstoppable Strowman?
<History in the making
Raw 25 is just six nights before the first-ever 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match, and every woman on the Team Red roster will be looking to assert her dominance before the anticipated over-the-top-rope showdown. Will new Superstars announce their participation in the match? Plus, what will WWE Legends like Trish Stratus, Torrie Wilson, Jacqueline and Terri Runnels, who will all be in attendance, have to say about this historic match?
Don’t miss any of the action on Raw 25, live at 8/7 C on USA Network, and be sure to tune in to the Raw 25 Pre-Show at 7 p.m. ET on WWE Network, the WWE App, WWE.com, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other digital platforms!

SmackDown LIVE preview, Jan. 23, 2018: Will The “Yep!” Movement be silenced before Royal Rumble?
Last week on SmackDown LIVE, a very confident AJ Styles vowed to put an end to Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn’s “Yep!” Movement at the Royal Rumble event, when he defends his WWE Championship against them in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match. However, will the two friends have anything else to say as they try to get under The Phenomenal One’s skin before this Sunday’s showdown in Philadelphia? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network.
>Will the “Yep!” Movement be out in full force?
Last week on SmackDown LIVE, a very confident AJ Styles vowed to put an end to Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn’s “Yep!” Movement at the Royal Rumble event, when he defends his WWE Championship against them in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match. However, the duo Styles dubbed “Kami” have never been ones to let a confident opponent deter them from causing chaos.
With days left before this monumental championship showdown in Philadelphia, will Owens & Zayn have anything else to say as they try to get under The Phenomenal One’s? Will General Manager Daniel Bryan or Commissioner Shane McMahon be able to keep them in line?
>New U.S. Champion Roode teams with New Day to battle Mahal & Rusev Day
Last Tuesday, Bobby Roode won two matches in one night, defeating Mojo Rawley and Jinder Mahal to become the new United States Champion. There’s be no rest for the new titleholder, though he will have some backup in action this week.
Roode teams up with The New Day to face the trio of Mahal & Rusev Day. The Modern Day Maharaja is surely looking for vengeance following his loss to The Glorious One, while Rusev & Aiden English haven’t forgotten about their past run-ins with Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston & Big E. Which trio will reign supreme?
>Naomi looks for payback against riottt Squad’s Liv Morgan
Naomi, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch joined forces to take on The riottt Squad in Six-Woman Tag Team action last week on SmackDown LIVE. In a chaotic battle, jewby riottt clocked Naomi with a kick to the face from outside the ring, setting her up for a devastating maneuver from Liv Morgan that gave The riottt Squad the victory.
This week, Naomi will be out for payback when she faces Morgan in singles competition. However, wherever there’s one riottt Squad member, the other two usually aren’t far behind. Can Naomi make Morgan feel the glow, or will the former SmackDown Women’s Champion be subjected to another painful night?
>Who will gain momentum heading into the 2018 Royal Rumble event?
This Sunday’s Royal Rumble event marks the beginning of the Road to WrestleMania, as 30 men and 30 women will look to cement championship opportunities on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
On the men’s side, Team Blue Superstars like Shinsuke Nakamura, Randy Orton and Baron Corbin have been staking their claim to victory in the over-the-top-rope melee. Will one of them be the last man standing in Philadelphia?
For the women of WWE, history is also at stake in the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match. How will the women of Team Blue get ready for this highly anticipated battle?
>Jey Uso and Chad Gable battle in one-on-one competition
SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos and Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin will clash this Sunday at Royal Rumble in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match for the titles. However, they’ll meet up in the ring before that Sunday night, when Jey Uso and Gable collide in singles competition.
Will The Usos show the mat wrestling master what he and Benjamin are in for on Sunday, or will Gable send a warning that The Usos’ championship reign is drawing to a close?

>Xavier Woods and Jinder Mahal clash in United States Title Tournament Semifinal
The United States Championship Tournament continues this Tuesday on SmackDown LIVE with the Semifinal Round, and the first matchup will see The New Day’s Xavier Woods taking on former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal. Woods’ impressive showing in the first round against Aiden English has many bolieving he can knock Mahal out of the running, but The Modern Day Maharaja had words of warning for The New Day’s resident trombonist last week:''''
Who will move on to the tournament finals?
>1/3 of a tag team going for singles title for no logical reason
>vs the poo who deserves no title
>Bobby Roode battles Mojo Rawley in United States Title Tournament Semifinal
The second semifinal battle will see Bobby Roode clash with Mojo Rawley. Roode made it to this point by defeating former United States Champion Baron Corbin, while Rawley pummeled his former Hype Bros partner Zack Ryder to cement his spot in the semifinals.
The two Superstars came face to face last Tuesday when The Glorious One confronted Mojo after his victory over Ryder. However, rather than engage Roode, Rawley chose to leave the ring.
What will happen when these two rising Superstars collide with a championship opportunity hanging in the balance?

That did not go well for Owens & Zayn, who felt the wrath of their three rivals before suffering defeat. Surely, this Tuesday, the two friends will be looking for answers. Will they get what they’re looking for from SmackDown LIVE General Manager Daniel Bryan, who many think is giving them special treatment?

RAM 1/15/18 Everything's BROKEN edition
WWE Raw preview, Jan. 15, 2018: The Empress of Tomorrow takes on The Irresistible Force
After Nia Jax brutally ambushed her this past Monday night, Asuka will have a chance at redemption against the juggernaut, live on Raw. Can The Empress of Tomorrow keep her undefeated streak alive going into the first-ever 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match?
<Nia Jax is ready for Asuka
After Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss tried to spark rumors of Asuka talking trash behind Nia Jax’s back, Jax lashed out at The Empress of Tomorrow, sending a message to all of the Superstars competing in the historic first-ever 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match on Sunday, Jan. 28.
''''
Per Raw General Manager Kurt Angle, Asuka will take on The Irresistible Force one-on-one. These Superstars crossed paths in NXT over the NXT Women’s Championship, but as history and a championship opportunity hang in the balance, this will be their most hard-hitting encounter yet.
>How will Roman Reigns repay The Miz and The Miztourage?
The Miz returned to Raw last week with singular goal: to reclaim the Intercontinental Championship he lost to Roman Reigns in November.
''''
After The [Cena reaction] and Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan lost a six-man tag bout to The Bálor Club this past Monday — thanks in no small part to Jordan’s impulsive nature — Reigns succumbed to a 3-on-1 assault by The Miz and The Miztourage that was punctuated with a brazen mockery of The Shield’s Triple Powerbomb.
''''
Reigns will defend his title against The A-Lister in a rematch on Raw 25 on Jan. 22, but based on The Big Dog’s tweet, Miz and his co-stars are in for an altogether different kind of blockbuster tonight.
''''
Roman Reigns✔ @WWERomanReigns
Miz will get his rematch for the #ICTitle at #Raw25….only if he makes it out of #Raw next week. #WitnessMe

>Can Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan get on the same page before the Royal Rumble event?
Based on their defeat in this past Monday’s six-man main event, it’s clear that Jason Jordan still has much to learn from Seth Rollins about being a team player. However, given that the unlikely partners are defending their Raw Tag Team Titles against Cesaro & Sheamus at the Royal Rumble event, Professor Rollins might have to accelerate his curriculum.
>professor Rollins
As Jordan’s impetuousness remains an issue, can The Kingslayer turn the “gold-blooded” Superstar into a true partner before their title defense?
HEY GUYS, REMEMBER WHEN THE SHIELD REUNITED AND WORKED AS A TEAM? ME NEITHER.
>Braun Strowman brings down the house … literally
With the aid of a grappling hook, of all things, Braun Strowman tore down a piece of the Raw set and nearly crushed Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and Kane two weeks before the three behemoths meet in a Triple Threat Match at the Royal Rumble event for The Beast’s title.
''''
Clearly, The Monster Among Men will stop at nothing in pursuit of Lesnar’s championship. What chaos will Strowman create this week?
>Is Cedric Alexander our next WWE Cruiserweight Champion?
After finally getting his WWE Cruiserweight Championship opportunity against Enzo Amore, Cedric Alexander was victorious this past Monday night — but he didn’t win the title. During the bout, Muscles Marinara injured his ankle outside the ring, resulting in a count-out victory for the challenger that kept the WWE Cruiserweight Championship firmly in the hands of The Certified G.
''''
However, the temporarily hobbled champion will need to defend his title against Alexander in a rematch at the Royal Rumble event. How will Amore prepare for his forthcoming defense? Is Alexander finally primed to ascend to the top of the Cruiserweight division?

WWE Comic Book
We're back with issue #4, which is really #5 but welcome to comic books. The hack/crash/whatever killed the old thread so here's a fresh one.
To recap, this is the story of Seth Rollins turning heel, getting the title, hurting his knee with a dozen montages an issue while Hunter got more and more annoyed at Seth for not doing what he said and being weak. Last issue New Day broke into Seth's apartment and gave him a bunch of VHS tapes while stealing his food, inspiring Seth to new heights as everything gets sillier and sillier.
RAM 1/8 I CAME TO PLAY edition
WWE Raw preview, Jan. 8, 2018: The Miz returns to reclaim his red carpet
Much to the delight of The Miztourage, The Miz is returning to Raw, live in Memphis. As Team Red prepares for the Royal Rumble event on Jan. 28, what might The A-Lister have in store?
>The Miz is ready for his close-up
In The Miz’s absence, The Miztourage has walked with Elias. On Monday night, however, Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas return to the side of The A-Lister as the “must-see” Superstar re-enters the Team Red spotlight so they can continue to be buried undeservedly.
Will Miz set his sights on the Intercontinental Championship he lost to Roman Reigns, or will his attention shift to the Royal Rumble Match itself, where he could earn a Universal Championship opportunity on The Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania 34?
When his hand goes up, our mouths might actually go shut on Monday night, as the entire WWE Universe is anxious to hear what he has to say.
>Who will be next to challenge Roman Reigns?
In a match where a disqualification would have cost him his Intercontinental Championship, Roman Reigns bullshitted the nigh-unstoppable Samoa Joe on Monday night, seeming to prove his dominance over The Samoan Submission Specialist once and for all.
The Big Dog is a fighting champion, though, and we don’t expect the bearer of Team Red’s workhorse title to rest on his laurels. Who will step up to “The Guy” in Memphis?
>Will Team Red’s titans wreak havoc once again?
Universal Champion Brock Lesnar incurred the wrath of Kane this past Monday night, and the resulting brawl between the two goliaths required nearly the entire Raw locker room to restore the peace in the totally exciting not wasted at all 3 minute spot.
Braun Strowman told Kane, in no uncertain terms, that he will not join forces with The Big Red Machine against The Beast Incarnate in Royal Rumble’s Universal Championship Triple Threat Match, so it’s no surprise that Strowman did not enter the fray. We’d be surprised if The Monster Among Men showed any such restraint if the opportunity to pummel either Kane or Lesnar presented itself this week.
>What’s next for Finn Balor and his “good brothers”?
We don’t think we’ve ever seen Finn Bálor smile quite as wide as he did this past Monday night, when he finally joined forces with his longtime friends Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson for the first time in WWE to defeat Elias & The Miztourage in a blistering Six-Man Tag Team Match.
After the bout, Bálor told WWE.com that “the boys are back in town,” leading many to bolieve that this “good brother” alliance wasn’t just a one-time occurrence. Will we see this “Too Sweet” trio dominate on Monday night?
THE BULLET CLUB
NO MORE JUST
ONLY BULLET
>How will Alexa Bliss bounce back from her defeat to Asuka?
In a WrestleMania-worthy match, Asuka BTFO'd Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss this past Monday night — a victory that undoubtedly earned The Empress of Tomorrow a title opportunity at some point in the near future.
The loss to the undefeated Asuka — one of 29 competitors in the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match — has surely shaken the confidence of the self-proclaimed midget, who’s going to need all the self-assurance she can muster considering the Superstars who have already declared for the 30-woman match on Jan. 28.
With new female Superstars expected to declare for the Women’s Royal Rumble Match in the coming weeks, how will Little Miss Bliss assert her dominance over the division? She can always do a squash match with booley like Finn did with Curt Hawkins to look good.
Don’t miss Monday Night Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>Enzo Amore to defend his Cruiserweight Championship against Cedric Alexander tonight on Raw
>inb4 "the flu" again
>even WWE doesn't care, the website has no image for this match
It is now official that Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore will defend his Cruiserweight Title against Cedric Alexander tonight on Raw.
The match, originally scheduled to take place last week, had to be postponed after The Certified G was hospitalized with the flu. However, with Amore now out of the hospital and ready to compete, he will square off against one of the most dynamic and toughest challengers to his title reign - 205 Live standout Alexander.
Will Enzo be at full health for the title contest, or will Raw be Cedric's night to rise to the top of the Cruiserweight division? And how will the Zo Train factor into the major championship match? Find out tonight on Raw!
Roman Reigns Royal Rumble Winner!!!
This isn't a prediction, it's a spoiler!!! On that note, I rewrote the lyrics to "I Will Win" by Ron Wasserman who did music for the Power Rangers TV Show, which accurately describes Roman's win at the Royal Rumble.
>I'm gonna win
>I'm gonna win
>I know they boo
>I know their hate
>I know their feel
>Well I live rent free
>Inside their heads, is all I ever have to say,
>I know their signs
>So I am right and I am real,
>I know exactly how they feel
>I will win
>I won't stop until I beat them
>I will win
>I know the thrill
>I know their feel
>I know their boo
>Well, I know the time
>And all I have to do is all I ever do,
>Well I know their game
>'Cause I am right and I am real
>I know exactly how they feel
>'Cause I…will win
>I won't stop until I beat them
>I will win
>'Cause I am right and I am real
>I know exactly how they feel
>'Cause I…will win
>I won't stop until I beat them
>I will win

SmackDown 1/9 THE CANADIAN SCREWJOB COMMUNITY edition
SmackDown LIVE preview, Jan. 9, 2018: Is Styles ready for two challengers at the Royal Rumble?
A controversial ending to the match between WWE Champion AJ Styles and Sami Zayn saw Kevin Owens, Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan get involved, and allowed Zayn to sneak away with a victory. When a frustrated Phenomenal One declared that he might as well face the two friends in a Handicap Match, Bryan liked the sound of that, so he made that exact match for the Royal Rumble event on the spot! How will Styles react to this unexpected decision? Find out on SmackDown LIVE, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network.
How will AJ Styles react to his Handicap Match at WWE Royal Rumble?
Last Tuesday, after FIVE YEARSing to Sami Zayn in controversial fashion during a battle that saw Kevin Owens, Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan get involved, a frustrated AJ Styles lashed out, saying he may as well face Owens & Zayn in a Handicap Match.
Bryan, whose leadership has been called into question in recent weeks, took the WWE Champion literally, making a Handicap Match for the title on the spot for the Royal Rumble event on Jan. 28. The Phenomenal One seemed less than thrilled with the decision. How will Styles react to this predicament tonight on SmackDown LIVE?
>Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley clash in final U.S. Title Tournament First Round Match
The first round of the United States Championship Tournament comes to a close this week on SmackDown LIVE, as Zack Ryder clashes with Mojo Rawley in the final opening round showdown.
There’s no love lost between the former Hype Bros, after Rawley unceremoniously turned his back on Ryder and defeated him at WWE Clash of Champions. Long Island Iced Z wants to reclaim the star-spangled title and get payback on his former friend, while Rawley is looking to prove a point to Ryder, which he clearly stated in an intense video posted on Twitter Sunday night:

<Becky Lynch returns to action against jewby riottt
Becky Lynch hasn't forgotten what The riottt Squad did to her during their first night on SmackDown LIVE. A vicious attack by jewby riottt, Liv Morgan & Sarah Logan put The Irish Lass-Kicker on the shelf for over a month to make a movie with The Miz. However, Becky’s back, and she’s out for retribution.
She’ll get her first crack at The riottt Squad on Tuesday night, when she battles riottt in one-on-one action. Lynch won’t be alone, though – she’ll have SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair and Naomi in her corner to counteract any meddling Morgan & Logan might be considering.
Will Becky Lynch get the payback she’s looking for, or will The riottt Squad continue to cause mayhem as the historic Women’s Royal Rumble Match draws near?
>tfw no smarkdown botcha equivalent to injure jewby riotttttttt in a house show
>Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable demand justice
Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable thought they had defeated The Usos and won the SmackDown Tag Team Titles last week. The referee counted three as Gable pinned Jimmy Uso, setting off a celebration. However, the official soon realized that neither Gable nor Jimmy were the legal Superstars in the battle, rendering his decision null and void, and he ordered the match to restart.
FIVE YEARS
The Usos stayed focused after the restart and walked out victorious with their titles in hand because 'FIVE YEARS dictates only the black panther party and the samoans that act black can ever have titles'.
However, Gable & Benjamin are not going away quietly following the controversial ending. WWE.com has learned that the two are “demanding justice” after last week’s battle. What exactly do the two mat wrestling masters have in mind?
>The Ascension Battle The Bludgeon Brothers
After saving their best friends from another bludgeoning at the hands of Harper & Rowan, The Ascension will get a crack at The Bludgeon Brothers this week on SmackDown LIVE.
Konnor & Viktor inadvertently fed their best friends, Tyler Breeze & Fandango, to the wolves over the past few weeks, volunteering them for rematches against the hammer-wielding monsters. After being saved from a beatdown by The Ascension, The Fashion Police showed Konnor & Viktor a great deal of gratitude, but said it was time for The Bludgeon Brothers to face someone their own size. With that, Breeze & Fandango went to Daniel Bryan and got The Ascension a match with Harper & Rowan this week.
Will the bludgeoning continue, or will Harper & Rowan go on a one-way trip to The Wasteland? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network!

SmackDown LIVE preview, Jan. 2, 2018: Styles to battle Zayn on first SmackDown LIVE of 2018
One week after a distraction allowed Kevin Owens to score a shocking victory over WWE Champion AJ Styles on the final SmackDown LIVE of 2017, the Phenomenal champion will ring in the new year by taking on Sami Zayn in a non-title match. Plus, Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin will battle The Usos for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles.
>AJ Styles to battle Sami Zayn on first SmackDown LIVE of 2018
WWE Champion AJ Styles and Sami Zayn will square off in a non-title match on SmackDown LIVE tonight. The battle marks the first time these two Superstars will face each other one-on-one on the blue brand, though these two have been no strangers to one another in recent weeks.
When the two match combatants last crossed paths, The Phenomenal One found his name in the loss column after a distraction by Zayn led Kevin Owens to a shocking victory on the final SmackDown LIVE of 2017. The result left Zayn & Owens celebrating on the entrance ramp while Styles engaged in a testy confrontation with SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon.
Can Styles settle the score with Zayn after this past week’s actions? Will Owens return the favor to Zayn in his battle with The Phenomenal One, or will Shane-O-Mac make sure the match occurs without incident and then some bullshit technicality or meme happens and it's pointless and Owens cheats again?
Find out when Styles and Zayn step into the ring on the first SmackDown LIVE of 2018 — tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network.
>Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin to challenge SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos today on SmackDown LIVE
SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos will defend their titles against Chad Gable & Shelton Benjamin tonight on SmackDown LIVE.
Gable & Benjamin earned the opportunity by defeating The New Day and Rusev & Aiden English in a thrilling Triple Threat Match on the Dec. 26 edition of SmackDown LIVE. There’s no love lost between these two teams. Gable & Benjamin felt they have been owed a rematch for the titles since their last opportunity in November. On that night, the mat wrestling mavens were victorious by count-out, thus they did not leave with the titles. Benjamin & Gable also scored a pinfall victory over the champions in non-title action on Team Blue on Dec. 19.
Who will leave the first SmackDown LIVE of 2018 with Team Blue’s tag team titles? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network!
>Who will win the Eight-Superstar United States Championship Tournament?
After Dolph Ziggler seemingly "voluntarily relinquished" left the company the United States Championship just two days after winning it in a thrilling Triple Threat Match at WWE Clash of Champions, the title’s future has come into focus. On the Dec. 26 edition of SmackDown LIVE, General Manager Daniel Bryan revealed that the next champion will be determined via an Eight-Superstar Tournament featuring some of Team Blue’s biggest names.
Last week in the first round of the tournament, Bobby Roode bullshitted former United States Champion Baron Corbin, and former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal overcame Tye Dillinger.
This leaves two matches in the opening round: Former Hype Bros Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley will go to battle, and The New Day’s Xavier Woods will go head-to-head against one of his tag team rivals (and recent Twitter adversaries), Aiden English.

Last night on the red brand, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle made it clear that the same rules that have always applied to the Men’s Royal Rumble will also apply to the Women’s free-for-all, as 30 female Superstars will compete for a championship opportunity at WrestleMania 34.
Former SmackDown Women’s Champions Naomi and Natalya, as well as jewby riottt, have entered the Royal Rumble Match for the blue brand. After five Raw Superstars joined the undefeated Asuka from Raw, who will be the next to step up and make history on SmackDown LIVE?
