Monday Night Raw Star Returns With New Nickname

•

Welcome back. There are all kinds of wrestlers in WWE these days and it can be easy to lose track of some of them. Maybe they run out of things to do or maybe they are not on television all that often, but every now and then you see someone make a surprise appearance that catches you off guard. That was the case this week, with a return taking place. Keith Lee returned to Monday Night Raw for the first time in nearly two months, defeating Akira Tozawa in a surprise appearance. Tozawa had issued an open challenge and Lee returned, defeating Tozawa in less than a minute with the Big Bang Catastrophe. This comes after Lee had only been wrestling on live events and in dark matches. He also now uses the ring name Keith “Bearcat” Lee. This is something you might need to get used to.

Warrant Issued For Former Impact Wrestling Star

•

That’s a bit more serious. Wrestling is like any other industry in the world: there are going to be some people who wind up in some trouble, and it can be for some very serious things. Some of these can result in the person getting in some legal trouble and it can even wind up seeing them locked up for a bit. We might be seeing that again for a former wrestler in the near future. According to PWInsider.com, a bench warrant has been issues for former Impact Wrestling star Rhaka Khan prior to her upcoming trial on charges of aggravated kidnapping facilitate and interference with child custody. This kind of warrant can be issued when someone misses a scheduled hearing, though it is not clear if that is the case with Khan. Her trial is set to begin on October 4. Khan wrestled for Impact Wrestling from 2008-2009 and last wrestled in 2011. You might not remember her.

VIDEO: New WWE Title Challenger Emerges

•

I guess he’s next. The World Title is the biggest and most important championship a promotion can have. The name alone is about all you need to hear: the wrestler holding it is the best in the world. You might hear it called by a variety of names but it is about as simple of a concept as possible. Now we know who is coming for one of the most prominent titles in wrestling. This week’s Monday Night Raw ended with WWE Champion Big E. successfully defending his title against Bobby Lashley inside a steel cage. Following the match, the cage was raised and Drew McIntyre appeared, pointing his sword at Big E., who nodded in return. This would suggest that McIntyre is the next challenger for the title. The two have not had a singles match since 2014. This could be an interesting one.

Run It Back: Stable Reforms On Monday Night Raw

•

Reunion special. Stables are one of the easiest ideas in wrestling because they allow wrestlers to get together and save a lot of time. There are some legendary stables over the years and some of them have been very successful. We have seen a bit of a renaissance of stables in recent years and now a recently split one seems to be primed for another crack at success. This week on Monday Night Raw, Bobby Lashley challenged Big E. for the WWE Title. Near the end of the match, Big E. speared Lashley through the ropes, where Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin appeared. The two were wearing Hurt Business shirts and nodded to Lashley, suggesting that the team was back together before the match ended in a disqualification. The Hurt Business, also including MVP, formed last year and saw success, including winning the Raw Tag Team Titles. They would ultimately split in January of this year, with Benjamin and Alexander being thrown out. You might remember the Hurt Business. Check out some of..

205 Live Results – September 24, 2021

205 Live Date: September 24, 2021 Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Nigel McGuinness, Vic Joseph The new (again) 205 Live continues as they have been running three matches a week, plus often dropping the weight limit. Throw in some women’s matches and this show is actually looking like something different for a change. I’m not saying that is going to lead to a good show, but at least it isn’t all the same. Let’s get to it. Xyon Quin vs. Oney Lorcan Lorcan takes him into the corner to start as the fans seem to be behind Quin. Some chops and a ram into the corner don’t do much to Quin, who is right back with a spinning elbow. Lorcan kicks the leg out though and starts hammering away and another shot to the knee gets two. The chinlock doesn’t last long as Quin powers up and strikes Lorcan into the corner, setting up a running shoulder to the ribs. A ripcord forearm knocks Lorcan silly for the pin at 3:17. Result: Xyon Quin b. Oney Lorcan – Ripcord forea..

Monday Night Raw Date: September 27, 2021 Location: Heritage Bank Center, Cincinnati, Ohio Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton We’re done with Extreme Rules and the biggest changes involve a doll and this show. First up, Charlotte destroyed Lillie the doll last night, sending Alexa Bliss into an emotional breakdown.

WWE Title: Big E. vs. Bobby Lashley Big E. is defending and after the Big Match Intros, we’re ready to go. Lashley powers him into the corner to start so Big E. fires off a slap to the face. That earns him a beating in the corner and a snap suplex for less than one. A clothesline puts Big E. on the floor but ..

Monday Night Raw Star Going Away For A Few Months

Until we meet again? There are a lot of people on the WWE roster and it can be difficult to find something for all of them to do. WWE only has so much television time to go around and sometimes they need to do something to free up some of their time and space. This can be easier said than done in some cases but now we might know who is the next to take a break. According to Wrestlinginc.com, Alexa Bliss will be leaving WWE television in the near future, though it is not clear why she is leaving or exactly when. Bliss lost a Raw Women’s Title match to Charlotte at Extreme Rules, after which Charlotte ripped up Lillie the doll, leaving Bliss screaming and crying.

Road trip. There are certain wrestling shows that are more important than others and WWE does a good job at making them feel special.

VIDEO: Roman Reigns Does Puts On A Mask During WWE Extreme Rules

He’s a considerate Head Of The Table. There have not been many stars in recent WWE history to reach the same levels as Roman Reigns. After being pushed as a top star for years, Reigns has finally unlocked everything by becoming the top villain in the company. This has been a complete change of pace for him, but he still did something nice during his latest match. Reigns was in action during this weekend’s WWE Extreme Rules event. The show’s main event featured Reigns vs. Finn Balor for Reigns’ Universal Title in an Extreme Rules match. The match saw the two brawl throughout the arena, including into the crowd. As the two went into the crowd, Reigns put on a face mask due to the Coronavirus pandemic situation. Reigns would go on to win the match and retain his title. That’s about as cool as you can get.

WWE Extreme Rules Undergoes Embarrassing Technical Problems

•

That’s a problem. WWE is a huge wrestling promotion and they have a lot of things going on at the same time. Above all else though is presenting a wrestling product, which can be a little more complicated than it might seem. Sometimes things are going to happen that aren’t in the original plans, and some of those can be very notable. That was the case during a major event. During Sunday’s Extreme Rules, the show’s audio was not working as planned, with the Spanish commentary feed leaking in along with the English. This took place during the Kickoff Show match between Carmella and Liv Morgan but was corrected during the match. The problem came back during the show’s first match between New Day and the team of Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles and Omos, though this time it was the French commentary. The audio was corrected before the end of the six man tag. Commentator Pat McAfee referenced the issues later in the show. You might be able to notice.

RUMOR: Important Name Backstage At SmackDown

Here he comes again. There have been a lot of changes taking place in the WWE over the last year and a half and several of them have not been the most well received. A lot of those problems have seemed to stem from new WWE President Nick Khan, who has seemed intent on cutting costs anywhere he can. Khan making moves is quite the event, and now we might be seeing something else soon. According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, Khan was backstage at this week’s SmackDown, though it is not clear why he was present at the show. Khan appearing at television events is not a normal occurrence. Khan was working with Vince McMahon and the company’s higher ups throughout the day. It is not known if he will be around at television more frequently or if this was a one off event. Source states WWE president Nick Khan was backstage in Philadelphia last night for SmackDown, and was involved w/ Vince & Co throughout the day.

They have an audience. With so much WWE content these days, wrestlers have a harder and harder time getting noticed. It isn’t easy to stand out among all of these other talented people, so it can be all the more impressive when someone does manage to make that big of an impression. It seems that two more people have done just that and WWE seems to be rather pleased. According to F4WOnline, Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair’s live event matches and dark matches have been receiving strong reviews. The matches were designed to help get the two ready for their Extreme Rules match where Lynch defended her SmackDown Women’s Title.

Seth Rollins: “I Was Ready To Strangle Vince McMahon”

That’s certainly extreme. WWE has a lot of wrestlers on its roster and they are going to be able to offer a lot of things to the audience. While the most obvious result is their in-ring work, you also get to see them doing things outside of the ring, including quite a bit of talking. That was the case again this week, and a WWE star had something interesting to say about his boss. Seth Rollins was the guest on the latest edition of Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Sessions. During the interview, Rollins discussed his Hell in a Cell match against the Fiend at Hell In A Cell 2019. Rollins said that he did not like the way the match went and “wanted to strangle” Vince McMahon after the match. TJ Wilson had to hold Rollins back and he had a calmer discussion with McMahon the following day. The match was named the Worst Match Of The Year by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and featured a referee stoppage after Rollins crushed Fiend’s head with a mallet.

Surprise Return Takes Place At WWE Extreme Rules

Welcome back. There are certain things in wrestling that are almost always going to get some great reactions. One of the strongest can be a return, as wrestlers coming back can throw a huge wrench into any kind of a story. Some of them are out of nowhere and that was the case again this weekend, as a major star made their return to the ring out of absolutely nowhere. WWE’s Extreme Rules included a SmackDown Women’s Title match with Becky Lynch defending against Bianca Belair. Late in the match, former SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks made her return to cost Belair the match via DQ. This was Banks’ first appearance since August, when she was scheduled to challenge Belair at Summerslam. Lynch took Banks’ place in the match and defeated her to win the title. It was a big night.

This year’s edition features six matches with one match having any kind of extreme stipulation. The fact that they have been hyping up the Draft and Crown Jewel at the same time doesn’t exactly make this show feel important. Let’s get to it. Kickoff Show: Carmella vs. Liv Morgan This was moved up from the main card and we hear about how Carmella’s face pays the bills. It separates her from people like Liv, who should be ashamed of herself. Carmella: “I’m hot and you’re not.” As the Spanish commentary is on in full, Morgan jumps her before the bell and the fight is on, unlike the Spanish commentary anymore. Carmella avoids a charge to the floor and kicks Morgan in the face for two. The Bronco Buster (McAfee: “I’m gonna bust your sternum with my a**!”) hi..

AEW Star Dealing With Knee Issue, Misses Match

That would be a reason. There is one thing that every wrestler has in common: they can all be injured. No matter how well trained or experience they may be, there is always the chance that something could take them out of action. It might be something built up over time or something that happens all at once, but it can happen to anyone. That seems to be the case again. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, AEW’s Brian Cage is dealing with a knee problem, which forced him to pull out of last week’s Battleground Wrestling event. Cage’s issue is the result of a bad reaction to a stem cell treatment. There is no word on when Cage will return to AEW TV.

They might need some better planning. There are certain things that WWE could do better. One of the most infamous stories you will regularly hear is about how the script is changed at the last minute. It often comes off that WWE does not know what they are going to do until they have no time left. That seems to have been the case at one of the biggest shows of the year. Last month, Becky Lynch made her surprise return to WWE at Summerslam after a year plus away due to maternity leave. She would defeat Bianca Belair to win the SmackDown Women’s Title in 26 seconds as a replacement opponent when Sasha Banks did not appear on the show. Belair spoke to Inside The Ropes and revealed that the decision to have her lose the title to Lynch was made at the very last minute.

WWE Star Debuts Very New Character Inspired By Classic Movie

That’s a new one. There are all kinds of characters in the wrestling world and some of them stand out more than others. Sometimes you see something based on a popular TV show or a movie, but every now or then you see something that is out of the past.

Extreme Rules 2021 Preview, Predictions And Thoughts

It’s time to go EXTREME, but I don’t think anyone has told WWE about that part. This is Extreme Rules, and of the six (yes only six) matches announced so far, a grand total of one has anything beyond a standard match structure (at this point, triple threats are a way of life and hardly extreme, or even out of the ordinary. I’m sure a few more matches will be added, but it would be nice to have some stipulations added, just to spice things up a bit. Let’s get to it. Carmella vs. Liv Morgan We’ll get the least important one out of the way first. This is a feud that started when Carmella did her best Mandy Rose in NXT impression and suffered a face injury during a match with Morgan.
