The card continues to grow. We are less than three weeks away from WWE Extreme Rules and the card has a lot of ground to cover. With so few matches announced for the card so far, WWE needed to get to work with putting some of the show together. A lot of that was taken care of this week, as WWE has announced two more title matches for the pay per view.
This week on Monday Night Raw, three new title matches were announced for Extreme Rules. In addition to the WWE Championship match, the Raw Women’s Title will be defended as Charlotte puts her title on the line against Alexa Bliss. Charlotte defeated Nia Jax but was then challenged by Bliss. The match was set for Extreme Rules later in the night.
Also during the show, Sheamus became the #1 contender to the United States Title and will challenge Damian Priest at Extreme Rules. Sheamus earned the shot by defeating Drew McIntyre, albeit while grabbing McIntyre’s trunks for extra leverage. This will be a rematch from Summerslam, where Pries..

We have the other main event. We are less than three weeks away from WWE Extreme Rules, which is in kind of a weird place on the WWE calendar. The show is the first pay per view after Summerslam so it is both the follow up as well as the start of something new. The champions are going to come in hot and will need quality challengers. Now we know who one of those challengers will be.
Last week on Monday Night Raw, RKBro successfully defended the Raw Tag Team Titles against Bobby Lashley and MVP. After the match, Randy Orton took Lashley out with an RKO. This week, Lashley came out to interrupt Orton, saying he wanted a match between the two of them. Orton agreed, as long as the WWE Title was on the line. MVP agreed to the match for Lashley, with the match being set for Extreme Rules.
This should be a good one. Check out how we got here and what Orton has been doing as of late:

I’ve all but given up trying to figure out what to expect from this show, but this time around we actually know what is coming. This week’s show was taped last week and WWE actually gave us a preview last week. No it doesn’t mean anything, but it is kind of nice to have for a change. Let’s get to it.
Cora Jade vs. Amari Miller Jade sits down on a skateboard and rides down to the ring for a unique entrance. Miller grabs a wristlock to start but gets headlocked over as they start technical. Back up and they fight over a test of strength until Miller flips her over with a judo toss. Jade misses a running knee in the corner and gets caught with a Backstabber.
A kick to the face gives Miller two and it’s off to an armbar with a knee in the ribs. That’s broken up and they trade forearms with Jade getting the better of things to take over. A Gory Stretch spun int..

It’s time to start getting ready for Extreme Rules as the show is in less than three weeks. You can probably guess where a lot of the card is going and that should make things a bit easier. There is some stuff taking place tonight as well, in the form of a rematch between Charlotte and Nia Jax. You know, since the first one was such a smashing success. Let’s get to it.
New Day is ready for Tag Team Turmoil. They’ll win because New Day Rocks.
The Viking Raiders will raid the entire division tonight.
Mansoor is ready for Tag Team Turmoil but Mustafa Ali tells him to follow his lead.
Lucha House Party says it’s LUCHA TIME.
Mace and T-Bar say Tag Team Turmoil means six more victims.
Jinder Mahal and Veer are going to be the next champions.
AJ Styles and Mansoor can’t imagine Riddle (AJ: “Old Smoky Brain himself.”) being in charge of anything so they’re ..

We’re out of the Summerslam fallout week and that means we are ready to get started on the road towards Extreme Rules. Some of the build began this week on Raw and odds are we’ll be seeing a lot more of that this week. As for the Main Event stuff, it’s probably time for more of the usual. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Jeff Hardy vs. Cedric Alexander They trade spinning of their jackets to start until Alexander drives him into the corner and shouts about what Jeff has. A headlock has Hardy in more trouble but he sends Alexander face first into all four buckles. An ax handle sets up a failed Twist of Fate attempt and Alexander heads outside.
Hardy misses a dive and bangs up his knee so Alexander can choke away back inside. Alexander takes him into the corner but Hardy headscissors his way to freedom. They slug it out until Hardy atomic drops him to set up..

They’re not done yet. All Elite Wrestling’s All Out 2021 has come and gone and it was certainly a huge event. There were all kinds of things taking place, but the big story came at the end of the night with a pair of huge debuts which changed the way AEW is going to look for a very long time to come. That was big enough, but it turns out that it wasn’t the end of the events.
The ending of this weekend’s AEW All Out featured the debuts of Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson. The two appeared back to back, with Cole joining the Elite and Danielson joining with the team’s opposition. A video has been released of the two having a staredown backstage after the show, with the two being asked not to fight with Cole saying that he was a pro and no one had to worry about him. Danielson walked away as well.
This could have gotten messy. Check out the confrontation plus the big moments to end the show and what this might look like:

We’re still on the road to Victory Road and that means more of Ace Austin, which is not a bad thing. Tonight we have Tommy Dreamer vs. Austin with Dreamer possibly being added to the World Title match if he wins. That’s the kind of threat that Impact might actually follow up on, which doesn’t give me much hope. Let’s get to it.
In Memory of Daffney. That was a really hard one.
Opening recap.
Opening sequence.
Madison Rayne/Kaleb With A K/Tenille Dashwood vs. Taylor Wilde/Rachael Ellering/Jordynne Grace Ellering and Kaleb With A K start things off with Rachael wrestling him into the corner without much effort. A release gutwrench suplex drops Kaleb With A K for two and it’s Grace coming in for some standing clotheslines. Rayne gets in a cheap shot though and Dashwood gets to come in and take over. Grace powers out of a chinlock by slamming Rayne backwards b..

That would have been different. Pay per view is usually the be all and end all in wrestling as the shows are often the most important parts of a wrestling calendar. You will see the biggest names in their most prominent matches and the whole thing feels that much bigger. That was the case this weekend, but you almost saw a different card than what was originally planned.
Sunday’s AEW All Out 2021 card featured Paul Wight defeating QT Marshall in a match that barely broke three minutes but was held just before the main event. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the match was in that spot due to concerns that the show could run long. Had the previous matches run longer, Marshall vs. Wight could have been cut from the card entirely.
There was a road to the match. Check out how it was set up:

The rather long road to Death Before Dishonor continues and that means we are going to be seeing more of the Women’s Title tournament. The level of interest took a bit of a hit last week as Quinn McKay was eliminated, so I’m not sure what to expect going forward. We have some more things to cover on the way though and maybe that can pick up some of the slack. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Ian Riccaboni welcomes us to the show and runs down the card, featuring the other two quarterfinals matches.
Angelina Love talks about how great she is and how she deserved her first round bye. Why shouldn’t she be the Women’s Champion?

Two for one. There are a lot of talented people on the AEW roster and a lot of that is due to the amount of places they draw their talent from. AEW has put together a very deep talent roster with several wrestlers from around the world and from different backgrounds. That was the case again this weekend, as AEW brought in two new wrestlers whose backgrounds could not be much difference.
Two special debuts took place at All Out. First, Japanese legend Minoru Suzuki debuted and confronted Jon Moxley after Moxley defeated Satoshi Kojima. The two then got into a fight, resulting in Suzuki leaving Moxley laying. The two are now set to face each other during this week’s AEW Dynamite. Moxley had been suggesting that he wanted to face Suzuki for several weeks.
Late r in the show, Ruby Soho, formerly known as Ruby Riott in WWE, debuted in the Casino Battle Royal, appearing as the match’s Joker. Soho would go on to win the match by last eliminating Thunder Rosa, thereby earning a future Women’..

That’s a positive negative. The Coronavirus pandemic has changed the way everything works and that has been the case in the wrestling world as well. There are only so many things that can be done normally with the virus hanging over everyone’s head and now the cases are piling up again. Sometimes you get some good news though and that seems to be the case again this time.
SmackDown broadcaster Pat McAfee has revealed that he is now testing negative for the Coronavirus. This comes over a week after a positive test took McAfee off of the August 27 and September 3 SmackDowns. It is not clear when McAfee will be back on the show. In his absence, Corey Graves has called SmackDown with Michael Cole, with Kevin Owens joining the two on August 27.

They went big. AEW All Out has come and gone for the year and the show was quite the hit. The entire card worked well with nothing really coming close to being bad. That’s what you want out of a pay per view, but it can help if there is a little more to it. In this case, the show could have benefited from having a big surprise. It turns out that we got even more than that.
AEW All Out featured a pair of debuts after the main event ended. After World Champion Kenny Omega retained his title, Omega spoke about how there was no one who could defeat him. The lights then went out and Adam Cole made his debut, only to superkick Jungle Boy and side with Omega and the Elite. This comes after Cole’s WWE contract expired late last month.
Cole and the Elite then celebrated, with Omega saying no one could stop then. Then Bryan Danielson, formerly Daniel Bryan in WWE, debuted and helped clear the ring along with Christian Cage and the Jurassic Express. Danielson has not appeared at any wrestling e..
