WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships Coming In 2019

•

Over the last three years, the women of WWE have broken new barriers, by being treated as equals to their male counterparts. They have competed in Hell in a Cell matches, had their own Royal Rumble match and so much more. Tonight on Raw, another chapter of this story was written. Mr. McMahon appeared in a video backstage, where he dressed as Santa Claus and said that he was going to give presents to the WWE Universe. One of those was that in 2019, there will be the creation of Women’s Tag Team Championship titles. You can see the announcement below: [This post contains video, click to play] It is unknown at this time if they will be on both Raw and Smackdown live, or just one show. We will continue to monitor this story and provide updates as they become available to us. Editor’s Opinion: I am all for women’s equality and the female superstars getting the same opportunities as the men. However, I just worry that because there are not as many female superstars on the roster as m..

They Can Fight Themselves. Video: WWE Debates Itself On The 2018 Awards

•

They can be smart too. If there’s one thing that is fun to do with wrestling fans, it’s debate one thing after another. You can almost always find a fan who has a completely different story than yours and they can defend what they say with some incredible details. As it turns out, WWE actually knows how to do that as well, but they can do it with some flashy graphics. This is one of the best things WWE does. Check out the latest Head vs. Head video on the best 2018: [This post contains video, click to play] WWE has released a new video in their Head vs. Head video when two faceless people debate various topics, in this case a miniature version of the Best of 2018 (as opposed to their full version right here).

Go Behind The Scenes On The Biggest Day Of Mustafa Ali’s Career

•

Meet the new star. Last week on SmackDown Live, Mustafa Ali scored what was easily the biggest win of his career, pinning WWE Champion Daniel Bryan in a tag team match. That’s not bad considering he was just on 205 Live less than a month ago and now he’s likely getting a World Title shot out of this whole thing. That sounds like something worth looking at even more and I think you know what’s coming next. There was a lot going on that day and WWE was right there. Check out some of these behind the scenes clips: [This post contains video, click to play] WWE has released a mini documentary looking at Ali’s day before he defeated Bryan later in the night.

Watch John Cena Admit That The Rock Was Right All Along And Call Himself Selfish

•

These two just never stop. Back in 2011, John Cena and the Rock had one of the best feuds of the modern era, spending over a year arguing with each other before we FINALLY got to the match, which was exactly what we were waiting on. The crux of the argument was Cena saying that Rock abandoned WWE, though now Cena could be accused of doing the exact same. You kind of have to talk about that one. Cena was recently a guest on the Gorilla Position podcast and talked about his feud with the Rock and all of the things that he said. During the interview, Cena admitted that he was absolutely wrong about everything that he said about Rock, even saying that he was “foolish, selfish and arrogant”. The interview included Cena apologizing to Rock profusely. Here are some highlights, with transcription courtesy of Wrestlinginc.com: On Apologizing to Rock: “I’m sorry and I was wrong. That’s the best thing I can do. I think my gripes were legitimate inside the WWE Universe. The WWE Universe is so de..

So who do you have? It’s the end of the year and that means it’s time to look back on everything that has happened in 2018.

Rumor: Andrade Cien Almas Reportedly Not Happy With Position In WWE

•

Can you blame him? Earlier this year, Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega were still down in NXT, where Almas was defending the NXT Title against Johnny Gargano at Takeover: Philadelphia in an instant classic. The call to the main roster came a few months later just after WrestleMania 34, but it hasn’t exactly gone well since then. As it turns out, Almas has noticed what’s been happening. According to a report by Super Luchas by way of Wrestlingnews.co, Almas isn’t happy with his current placement in WWE. Almas was called up to the main roster in early April but didn’t wrestle on SmackDown Live for over a month. In his time on the main roster, he has wrestled less than twenty times on television with no title shots and hasn’t won a match since September 11, when he defeated R-Truth on SmackDown Live. Rush, a current star in Mexico, was offered a WWE contract and turned it down due to what has happened to Almas in WWE. Yeah there’s no way to use this guy. Check out this great match wit..

With great status comes bigger interviews. Braun Strowman has had an incredible few years, rising from little more than a lackey to Bray Wyatt to one of the biggest stars in the company. As his status has risen in WWE, it has led to a few extra perks as well, including an appearance in the upcoming film Holmes & Watson. Since he’s still a WWE star though, he’s been able to bring some of the movie to the company. Hopefully there is no hand getting involved.

It Hasn’t Been That Long. WWE Changes Course On Royal Rumble Match.

•

If you can’t trust your own show, who can you trust? WWE has a lot of television shows, to the point where you might not even know all of them off the top of your head. One of the lesser known shows is Main Event, which is typically just a recap show. As it turned out though there might have been some breaking news on this week’s episode. Amazingly enough, that turned out to be premature. Just yesterday, it was reported that Asuka vs. Becky Lynch for the SmackDown Women’s Title had been confirmed for next month’s Royal Rumble on Main Event. WWE has already started walking back the news, even though it aired on its own television show. Former General Manager Paige has already announced a retraction on Twitter, acknowledging that the match was announced but saying that she didn’t have the authority to make the match anymore.

The Spoils Of Change. A Few Storylines Have Been Dropped Due To Vince McMahon’s Announcement.

The more things change, the more they’re not the same. Earlier this week on Monday Night Raw, Vince McMahon and his family showed up to change things in WWE. While the official announcement was focused around the idea of the family taking over the weekly television shows, there were a few more things that were changed over the course of both Monday night and the next night on SmackDown Live. According to Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com by way of NoDQ.com, there have been a host of storylines dropped (some with or without explanation) as a result of the change. Some of these include Alexa Bliss being in charge of the Monday Night Raw women’s division, Shane McMahon’s heel turn (which never got started), Lucha House Party rules (addressed on Monday) and Paige as the SmackDown Live General Manager (addressed on Tuesday, and likely due to needing her to do publicity work for the upcoming Fighting With My Family movie).

Velveteen Dream Might Be In Trouble

Is it a bad dream? Over the last few years, few superstars have risen faster than the Velveteen Dream. He’s gone from what felt like a joke of a talent to a heck of a performer and one of the most popular heroes in NXT. His work has been incredible and he has more charisma than he knows what to do with, but there might be a bit of a roadblock on his path towards the top of NXT. According to Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com by way of NoDQ.com, Velveteen Dream may be in trouble over a recent string of tweets that he sent out and then deleted, where he complained about not being called up to the main roster yet. Velveteen Dream has tweeted some controversial statements and since deleted them before so it is likely the subject that got him in trouble this time.

The McMahon Family’s Return: WWE’s Fresh Start or Recycled Storytelling?

•

WWE is trying something different with its two major brands. Monday Night Raw delivered something fresh in terms of leadership and the same was true of SmackDown Live the next night. Gone are the program’s General Managers and Commissioners. In their place is the McMahon Family. Vince, Stephanie, Shane and Triple H are now all assuming joint leadership over both brands. So when a decision is to be made on the air, that decision will presumably be made by one, or more, of the four. This is what WWE believes will right the ship. But is this really a fresh idea, or the same recycled storyline? Fans expected something big when Vince walked down the ramp on the December 17 edition of Raw. WWE promoted his appearance ad nauseam on social media in the days leading up to the show. Even if fans had not been paying attention all that much, there would have really been no way to miss it. The boss was coming back and he was going to “shake things up.” But the moment he received a standing ovatio..

Recently Departed WWE Superstar Returns At House Show

He’s not done just yet. Earlier this month on Monday Night Raw, Heath Slater defeated Rhyno in a match where the loser would be out of a job. While Slater has gone on to become a crooked referee, Rhyno seems to be looking for a new line of work.

After being on the losing end of a six man tag, Curt Hawkins made an open challenge in hopes of breaking his losing streak, which has now lasted over two years. Hawkins issued an open challenge so Rhyno came through the crowd and Gored him without a match actually starting. There is no word on if or when Rhyno will return to WWE TV. It was a hard way to go.
