It is worth another look. Titles are one of the most important things in all of wrestling as they symbolize success. Any fan can figure out the idea behind a title, as the best wrestler has the big title belt. It makes sense to have more than a few titles in a company, but at the same time, there needs to be one title above the rest. That seems to be the case in WWE, and they are now one of the titles has reached a milestone.
As of Monday, Roman Reigns has held the Universal Title for one year. Reigns won the title last year at Payback on August 30, 2020 and has remained champion since. As a result, WWE has released a video looking at his title reign, including clips of major moments from his title reign. This includes both title matches and non-title matches, plus the debut of his new theme song. Reigns has currently held the title for 366 days, giving him the second longest reign in the title’s history, only behind Brock Lesnar’s 504 day reign, which Reigns ended.
It is quite the t..

Main Event
Date: August 26, 2021
Location: Perchanga Arena, San Diego, California
Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Byron Saxton
We’re done with Summerslam and now it is time to get back to normal around here. Granted Main Event has been at normal for a long time now so maybe we can get a little change of pace, even if it does not last long. I’m not exactly thrilled by either option but such is life on this show. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin They slap hands to start and Benjamin runs him over with a shoulder. Neither can hit their finisher early so Hardy sends him into four top turnbuckles in a row. Another Twist of Fate attempt is countered and Benjamin runs the corner for a knee to the face. We hit the reverse chinlock but Hardy fights up in a hurry and knocks Benjamin down for a breather. Hardy’s leg trap rollup gets two but Benjamin hits a powerslam for the same. The Twist of Fate is countered into a German suplex to give Benjamin two more but no..

Monday Night Raw
Date: August 30, 2021
Location: Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Byron Saxton, Corey Graves
We are on the way to Extreme Rules and that means we need some things to set up for the show. That could take some time, as Raw has a tendency to not exactly rush things. There isn’t much going on with this show though, as we need something other than RKBro and waiting around for Goldberg to show up for the Bobby Lashley rematch. Let’s get to it.
Here is Damian Priest to get things going. He welcomes us to the show and talks about how he is going to show the title the respect it deserves. We hear about some famous US Champions, including Rey Mysterio, Jeff Hardy and John Cena, because the title’s history is about six years old. That’s unlike WWE Champion Bobby Lashley, who ran away from a challenge last week. Therefore, let’s have an open challenge.
US Title: Damian Priest vs. Sheamus Sheamus is challenging but hang on because he nee..

Ring of Honor
Date: August 25, 2021
Location: UMBC Event Center, Baltimore, Maryland
Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman
It’s another step closer to Death Before Dishonor and that means the card needs to be set. Ring of Honor has a tendency to take their sweet time with some of these things and that can be frustrating, but odds are this week’s show will continue focusing on the Women’s Title tournament. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
We open with a recap of last week’s pretty good Champions vs. All Stars match.
Ian Riccaboni runs down the card, featuring two Women’s Title tournament quarterfinal matches.
Quinn McKay and Rok-C get into it over a matter of respect.
Women’s Title Tournament Quarterfinals: Quinn McKay vs. Rok-C
They shake hands to start and lock up to go technical early on. Rok-C grabs a bridging hammerlock but gets reversed with a hammerlock into a headlock. That’s reversed into a headlock from Rok-C, which is broken up as well and it’s another standof..

At least they have a time. There are all kinds of reasons for a wrestler to miss a show, but oftentimes fans are left wondering what is causing the absences. That is the case again at the moment in WWE, as one of their more important stars has been missing in action for the last few weeks. It has led to some changes in the lineups, but now we might know a bit more about when she will be back.
According to PWInsider.com, WWE is hopeful that Sasha Banks can return to television at the September 10 Madison Square Garden SmackDown. Banks has been out of action since the August 7 WWE live event, including missing her SmackDown Women’s Title match at Summerslam. There is no word on why Banks has been missing, with the only explanation being that she is not cleared.
Banks has not even been back that long. Check out what she can do when she is around:

Looks like that’s next. We are in the middle of a pretty busy period for WWE as they are looking at several major events in a row. Summerslam has come and gone and the build for Extreme Rules has already begun. However, there is still Crown Jewel coming up in October, and now it seems that we know where the top spot on the card is head. It just happens to be something we have seen before.
According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, a Summerslam rematch between Goldberg and Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship is expected to take place at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. The show will take place in October, but no specific date has been announced. Lashley defeated Goldberg via referee stoppage at Summerslam but accidentally attacked Goldberg’s son Gage after the match. Goldberg did not appear on the following Monday Night Raw.
As if it wasn’t obvious, source states WWE is planning on the Goldberg vs Lashley rematch to take place in Saudi Arabia in October.

A nice stop over. The wrestling world has been changing in a lot of ways over the last few months and that is likely going to continue to be the case for a long time to come. You are going to be seeing various wrestlers moving from one promotion to another, with most of them going to or from WWE or AEW. There are other promotions out there though, and this time someone made a cameo elsewhere.
Ric Flair appeared at Sunday’s NWA 73rd Anniversary Show in St. Louis, Missouri in a special segment. During his interview, Flair mainly thanked various WWE names, including Vince McMahon, Triple H and Shawn Michaels for allowing him to be here. He also talked some legends and his memories of wrestling in St. Louis. Flair’s appearance had been advertised in advance, but no other details had been mentioned.
This was a special one. Check out part of the promo and some of Flair’s time in St. Louis:

It’s another way to go. Roddy Piper had a great line about acting (paraphrased): “When I was a wrestler, they said I was just an actor. When I was an actor, they said I was just a wrestler.” There is absolutely a connection between wrestler and acting but very few wrestlers have actually managed to pull it off. There has been some success though, and now another wrestler is interested in taking her shot.
During a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, WWE’s Alexa Bliss mentioned that as much as she loves wrestling, she would love to try her hand at acting. Bliss said that she would always be at home in WWE but she has been working with an acting coach for the last ten months. There is nothing to suggest that Bliss will be leaving or taking any time off from WWE to pursue acting anytime soon.
There is something to this. Check out the interview and some of Bliss’ time in WWE:

Not so fast? Injuries can be one of the most devastating things in all of wrestling as they can take someone out of action all of a sudden. Some are far worse than others and the very worst can put someone on the shelf for the rest of their lives. However, one interesting trend as of late has been wrestlers returning from career ending injuries. Another wrestler seems to be teasing joining the club.
Back in 2018, Paige was forced to retire from in-ring competition due to a series of neck injuries. As a result, her wrestling career was over but she has since returned to various other on-air roles. However, over the weekend, Paige sent out a tweet saying that she was “not done yet”. According to Instinct Culture’s Denise Salcedo, Paige said that she was training for an in-ring wrestling return, but would not be telling anyone when the return would happen so that it could serve as a surprise. Paige has not wrestled since December 2017.
I’m not done yet. ??

That’s the big one. Titles are one of the easiest concepts in all of professional wrestling. Any fan can get the idea of putting a championship on the line and seeing who walks out with the gold. A wrestler holding a title for a long time can make their title reign seem all the more important, especially when someone finally takes it from them. That was the case this weekend.
Trevor Murdoch defeated Nick Aldis at the NWA 73rd Anniversary Show to become the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion for the first time in his career. In addition, Murdoch had put his career on the line in the match. Murdoch’s win ends Aldis’ second reign at 1043 days, which was more than double the longest reign with the title since 1999. Aldis’ reign was the sixth longest in the title’s history.
It’s a big deal. Check out the new champ and a quick look at the historic title reign:

At least they had a plan. There were more than a few surprises at Summerslam but perhaps the biggest was Becky Lynch returning to squash Bianca Belair in less than thirty seconds to win the SmackDown Women’s Title. That was not exactly the kind of thing that you would expect to see, but Lynch is off to the races. That leaves Belair in a bit of a bind, though WWE has a plan for her as well.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the idea behind having Belair lose in such dominant fashion was to build sympathy on her going forward. Lynch was not the original planned challenger and Belair was taken by surprise, which was designed to make fans feel that she did not deserve the loss. Belair has since earned another title shot against Lynch, which will take place at Extreme Rules on September 26.
WWE might be on to something. Check out what they are doing with Belair:

That’s one way to go. One of the more confusing situations in WWE is the way they bring up wrestlers from NXT. While the wrestlers have a tendency to be rather successful with a character or style in NXT, WWE has a history of resetting things. That has not exactly played out well every time, but now they seem ready to try it again with an interesting combination.
According to Wrestlingnews.co, Keith Lee may be in line for a monster heel push. Lee returned from a five month hiatus in July but has not wrestled a match on television since the August 2 Monday Night Raw. Instead, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Lee has been wrestling a series of dark matches before Monday Night Raw and SmackDown in an attempt for WWE to find the right way to use him. There is no word on when Lee will return to television.
Lee could make a monster. Check out what he can do in the ring:
