WWE Title Match Gets Shaken Up With New Challenger

December 14, 2021 • Admin

Make another seat. There are all kinds of titles around the wrestling world but very few mean as many as the WWE Title. It is the signature title of the biggest wrestling company in the world and that is going to get some special attention no matter what. Winning the title means quite a bit, and now another wrestler is going to be getting his chance at winning the title. This week on Monday Night Raw, Bobby Lashley was officially added to the WWE Title match at Day One. The match had previously included WWE Champion Big E., Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens. Lashley wanted to be added to the match, so WWE executives Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville agreed, but only if Lashley could defeat all three. Later in the night, Lashley defeated Owens by submission and Rollins and Big E. by pinfall, earning his spot in the match. Day One takes place on January 1. It was a busy night for Lashley. Check out what he had to do to make it to Day One: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post ..

Huge Title Rematch Added To WWE Day One Card

December 14, 2021 • Admin

Take two. We are less than three weeks away from WWE Day One and the card is starting to come together. With so little time left before the show, it is time to start hammering down all of the details, including adding some of the title matches. That was the case this week, as a pretty big rematch was officially set for the card, albeit only after the challenger got taken out. Last week on Monday Night Raw, Becky Lynch cheated to retain the Raw Women’s Title over Liv Morgan. This week, Morgan challenged Lynch to a rematch at Day One, knowing that Lynch needed to cheat to beat her. Lynch did not immediately accept the challenge, instead getting in a brawl with Morgan first. The fight would head outside, where Morgan’s arm was stomped against the steps several times. Lynch would then accept the match. It was a busy night.

Monday Night Raw Live Coverage And Results – December 13, 2021

December 14, 2021 • Admin

Monday Night Raw Date: December 13, 2021 Location: Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul, Minnesota Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton We’re less than three weeks away from Day One and the card seems to be at least somewhat set. That being said, it seems that we might be seeing a new addition to the Raw main event in the form of Bobby Lashley. It wouldn’t surprise me to see the change made official tonight so let’s get to it. We open with a recap of last week’s cage match with Big E. defeating Kevin Owens, followed by Bobby Lashley laying out Owens, Big E. and Seth Rollins. Here are MVP and Bobby Lashley to get things going. MVP says last week is what happens when you disrespect Lashley and that’s a problem with this generation. That’s why it is imperative to have Lashley added to the Day One WWE Title match, because that’s a great way to start the year. Cue Kevin Owens to say he hasn’t been disrespecting the two of them because he hasn’t been paying attention to anything..

Try Again Later: Multiple WWE Injuries Postpone #1 Contenders Match

December 13, 2021 • Admin

Maybe next time. We are rapidly approaching the end of the year and that means it is time for WWE to start hammering down the card for their Day One pay per view. The event takes place on January 1 so there is only so much time left to get things set. WWE has already set up a few matches, but now one of the potential matches might need some more time. WWE has announced the finals of the RKBronament between the Street Profits and Mysterios have been postponed. Both teams have suffered unspecified injuries and as a result, the match will now be held on the December 27 Monday Night Raw. While not confirmed, there is a chance that the winners will receive their Raw Tag Team Title shot at Day One. It’s worth waiting on.

WATCH: Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Charlotte & Dana Brooke From WWE Battleground 2016

December 13, 2021 • Admin

You can always depend on your friends. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel in which they show the full match between Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Charlotte & Dana Brooke from Battleground 2016. You can watch the match in its entirety below: [This post contains video, click to play] From WWE.com: The champion and her enforcer seemed confident that Banks wouldn’t be able to find a partner, but The Boss proved them wrong as the WWE Network event started. The WWE Universe was ecstatic to see Bayley, erupting in cheers as her trademark wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube men soared toward the Verizon Center’s rafters. The rapturous cheers quickly turned to jeers as Charlotte and Dana ambushed their opponents before the bell. The WWE Women’s Champion pounced on Bayley, but the resilient NXT Superstar fought out of the corner with a diving elbow and sent Banks into action. A fired-up Boss charged at Charlotte and unleashed a hurricanrana off the ropes. However, the steel..

205 Live Results – December 3, 2021

December 13, 2021 • Admin

205 Live Date: December 3, 2021 Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Nigel McGuinness, Vic Joseph The show’s future might be in jeopardy as the Cruiserweight Title is doing wacky things like getting rid of the weight limit. That makes me wonder if the Cruiserweight Title has much of a future and it is certainly nice to have that as a possible development. The title hasn’t needed to be around for a long time, but nowhere near as long as this show. Let’s get to it. Ivy Nile vs. Erica Yan Diamond Mine is here with Nile, who cranks on a headlock to start. A sliding knee to the ribs has Yan in more trouble and there’s a suplex to put her down again. The double arm crank goes on but Yan fights up and spins her into a sunset flip for two. Nile kicks her into the corner though and an enziguri sets up the choke to finish Yan at 4:19. Result: Ivy Nile b. Erica Yan – Choke (4:19) Draco Anthony is still in that coffee shop, where his actions will speak louder than..

Impact Wrestling Results – December 2, 2021

December 13, 2021 • Admin

Impact Wrestling Date: December 2, 2021 Location: Sam’s Town Live, Las Vegas, Nevada Commentators: Matt Striker, D’Lo Brown We’re back after last week’s Wrestle House special, meaning that it’s time to start getting ready for Hard To Kill. For once that’s a major pay per view, which is quite different from all of the smaller monthly shows they have been running as of late. I’m actually curious to see where they go so let’s get to it. Opening recap. Opening sequence. Here is Matt Cardona for a chat. He talks about how great of a show Turning Point was and how he had W. Morrissey beaten, but there was no referee. Then Moose speared him so Morrissey could win, and that’s because Moose knows what Cardona is. Cue Moose to say Cardona has accomplished a lot in eighteen years. Cardona has a podcast and a room full of action figures, plus a big house with a beautiful wife. The problem is he’ll never be that guy, but he wants a match with Moose? That’s fine, because it would last as long a..

Wrestling Legend Rips Charlotte vs. Toni Storm Feud

December 13, 2021 • Admin

Not everyone is a fan. There are so many stories taking place in WWE at any given time that it could be difficult to keep track of them. Some of the stories are more interesting than others, and that can create a few problems. Ultimately, with so many things going on at once, you are going to find something that is not as good as the others. That seems to be the case again, this time with a wrestling legend. During a recent appearance on the Smack Talk podcast, former WWE star Dutch Mantel talked about the current SmackDown feud between Charlotte and Toni Storm. Mantel’s problem comes from the fact that the feud is built around hitting each other with pies, as it killed the chemistry that the feud had. He does not believe that the feud can be revived, despite Storm earning a title shot during their match on SmackDown. It is an interesting show.

Update On Ring Of Honor’s Future, Roster Not Seeming Optimistic

December 13, 2021 • Admin

That looks to be it. Earlier this weekend, Ring of Honor presented its annual Final Battle event, but this year’s version is quite different. The show is the final event before Ring of Honor goes into a hiatus until April. It is not clear what the future holds for the promotion, but now we know a few more things about what is up next and it is not exactly the most positive. According to Fightful Select, Final Battle was seen as more of a “goodbye” event rather than a “see you in April” among the wrestlers. Several of them were taking pictures with each other and talking to former Ring of Honor owner Cary Silkin. The promotion is scheduled to return in April over WrestleMania weekend with SuperCard of Honor, but no more details have been released. It was a busy night. Check out the build to last night’s show, the first hour, and the better parts: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion..

Missing NXT Star Says She Is Ready To Return

December 13, 2021 • Admin

Welcome back. There are all kinds of wrestlers in WWE, to the point where sometimes you forget that they are still around in the first place. Some of them take some time away from the company at times, which can make for a bit of a sad moment for the fans. That being said, the big return can make it a lot better, and now we might be seeing another one take place soon. NXT’s Sarray has sent out a tweet (as translated by Google), revealing that she is returning to America after a few weeks in Japan. Sarray returned to Japan in mid-November for reasons that are not clear but is ready to return to America. There is no word on when she will be returning to NXT TV or to the ring. Sarray’s most recent match took place the November 9 edition of NXT, in a loss to Kay Lee Ray. 9??????? ????????????????? ????????????? ????????????? ??????????? ??????…???? pic.twitter.com/Yy3SvR5mjc — SARRAY?????

Several Important Names In Attendance At Last Week’s WWE SmackDown

December 13, 2021 • Admin

Location, location, location. WWE SmackDown has been on the air for well over twenty two years now and the show has built up one heck of a reputation for itself. Above all else, the show has spent the last two plus years on the FOX network, which is as big of a wrestling television deal as it gets. People in the entertainment industry are paying a bit more attention to it as of late, and that was on display last week. According to Deadline.com, several entertainment executives and stars were in attendance for last week’s SmackDown in Los Angeles, California. Here is a list of the executives and television/film personalities who were at the show last week: • Kelly Kahl (President of CBS Entertainment) • Matt Cherniss (Head of Development and Programming at Apple) • Noah Harpster (Actor and Producer) • Barry Poznick, (President of MGM Studios) • Larry Jones (Executive Vice President of Fox Sports) • Vanessa Hudgens (Actor) • Jemele Hill (Sports Journalist) • Reggie Bush (Analyst for Fox..

Ring Of Honor Final Battle 2021 Results

December 13, 2021 • Admin

Final Battle 2021 Date: December 11, 2021 Location: UMBC Events Center, Baltimore, Maryland Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman It’s the end of an era and quite possibly the end of a company, or at least the end of the company as we know it to be. Ring of Honor is going into hiatus after this show for about four months, leaving a pretty big cloud over their future. I’m not sure what that is going to mean, but hopefully they can have a great show on their way out. Let’s get to it. Pre-Show: Six Man Tag Team Titles: Righteous vs. Shane Taylor Promotions Promotions (Moses/Kaun/O’Shay Edwar.ds, with Ron Hunt) are defending, with Dutch and Moses fighting over wrist control to start. Moses gets flipped into the corner, so he knocks Dutch outside in a hurry. Everything breaks down in a hurry and the three way brawl is on until it’s Vincent suplexing Kaun. That doesn’t work for Kaun, who is back up with a running elbow to the face. Moses comes back in and gets caught with a Side Ef..

Top Tag Team Likely Heading To AEW For Dream Match

December 13, 2021 • Admin

That would make sense. There is all kinds of talent in the wrestling world today and thankfully it is now easier to see it than ever before. Wrestling is so easy to access and there is now more content readily available than any point in history. That makes it all the more special when a big match is featured in a high profile situation, and that is what we might be seeing soon. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the Briscoes are expected to sign with AEW and feud with FTR. The Briscoes won the Ring of Honor Tag Team Titles at Final Battle, after which FTR interfered. This comes after the two have been feuding on Twitter for the last few months. There is no word on when the Briscoes could be making their debut with AEW or when the match would take place. It was a big moment.

One Ring Of Honor Name Has Already Found A New Wrestling Job

December 13, 2021 • Admin

It’s a spot. This weekend marked the end of an era for Ring of Honor as the company is entering a hiatus period over the next several months. As a result, several stars are going to be leaving the company, though not all of them are going to be in the ring. There are all kinds of people who are heading elsewhere, and now we know where one of those names is heading next. During an appearance on the Lehigh Valley With Love podcast, Ring of Honor broadcaster Ian Riccaboni has announced that he will be joining the New Japan Strong commentary team starting in Seattle on January 15. Riccaboni has been with Ring of Honor since 2014 and has been the main host of their TV show since February 2017. He will continue to do voiceover work for Ring of Honor TV for the next several months. Hello! Very excited to break the news with @LVwithLove with love that I will be headed to Seattle for @njpwglobal to join the commentary booth for #njpwStrong!

Former WWE Star Alleges Racism In The Company, Still Wants To Return

December 12, 2021 • Admin

One more time? WWE has been around for such a long time that it can be easy to forget some of the wrestlers who have been around over the years. There are probably a few names that you have forgotten over the years, which makes for some interesting moments when you hear from them again. Now one former WWE star seems to want another chance in the company. The original Sin Cara, also known as Mistico, spoke with TUDN Mexico, by way of Wrestlinginc.com, and talked about wanting to return to WWE. Cara said that WWE saw something in him and wanted to sign him, but he had to leave for a variety of reasons, including racism. When he arrived in the company, Cara was told to tone down his style and was not given the opportunities that he was promised. Cara blames this on racism, as he says WWE would not want their American talents overshadowed. Cara was round WWE for a good while. Check out some of his time there: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click t..

More On Johnny Gargano/Kyle O’Reilly Leaving WWE, What The Company Thinks

December 12, 2021 • Admin

It might be a bit. There have been all kinds of WWE departures over the course of the last year or two and some of them have been a bit more surprising than others. Some wrestlers have been released while others have walked away on their own. Two more of the latter took place this week, and it might be a little while before you see either of them show up anywhere again. Earlier this week, both Kyle O’Reilly and Johnny Gargano left WWE after their contracts expired. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the current theory in WWE is that the two of them are taking time off from wrestling at the moment, though they both could appear on any show they want at any time. This includes AEW Winter Is Coming later in the week, if the two sides can come to terms. Gargano has reportedly been offered a new WWE deal that is better than his most recent contract. It is not clear what kind of deal O’Reilly has been offered. There is a lot of talent between them. Check out the two in action: [This p..

WATCH: Braun Strowman And FTR Make Surprise Debuts At Ring Of Honor Final Battle

December 12, 2021 • Admin

Those are some big names. Ring of Honor is wrapping things up, at least in their best known version. That is going to be a sad moment for the wrestling world as there are all kinds of stars from throughout the company’s history around the wrestling world today. There is still one show left though, and it had more than a few surprise appearances taking place. There were multiple surprise appearances at Ring of Honor’s Final Battle event over the weekend. First, EC3 debuted a new stable, featuring Titan (formerly known as Braun Strowman) and Westin Blake (formerly known as Wesley Blake in WWE). Later in the show, the Briscos won the Ring of Honor Tag Team Titles. Following the match, FTR ran in and attacked the Briscos, teasing a future match between the teams. The two teams have been feuding on Twitter in recent weeks. It was a heck of a night.

VIDEO: Chris Jericho Out Of The Hospital, Gives Interesting Update

December 12, 2021 • Admin

He’s out. Wrestlers are rather different than the majority of the fans who watch them, but there are quite a few similarities as well. Just like the fans, wrestlers have their own share of medical issues, some of which can be rather serious. Something can flare up out of nowhere, which was the case last week. Now though, we have a positive update on what has happened. Earlier this week, AEW’s Chris Jericho was hospitalized due to a non-Coronavirus related issue. However, Jericho has since updated his status via Twitter, revealing that he has been released from the hospital. In a YouTube video, Jericho has announced that his band Fozzy will continue its tour, albeit without him singing. Instead, their upcoming concert will feature the fans singing their two most famous songs as well as the debut of their latest album, Boombox, being played live. There is no word on when Jericho will be able to sing or wrestle again. Back on the streets…. pic.twitter.com/xAaJV6VYzh — Chris Jericho (@I..

Huge Match With Guest Stars After Last Night’s WWE SmackDown

December 12, 2021 • Admin

Send them home happy. WWE produces quite a bit of television content on a regular basis. Counting their streaming shows, there are five shows a week, which can make for quite the amount of wrestling. That isn’t even all they do though, as there are several matches that are just for the live fans. Another one took place this week after SmackDown, but this one was especially big. According to 411mania.com, the dark match after this week’s WWE SmackDown saw Sasha Banks defeat Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair in a four way non-title match by pinning Lynch. Belair and Lynch are both on the Monday Night Raw roster and were making special appearances. Charlotte and Banks both appeared on SmackDown earlier in the night, with only Charlotte wrestling. It sounds like a big one.
