Two Sports: Current WWE Star Hopes To Compete In Boxing Match

March 6, 2023

It’s a different sport. Since professional wrestling became a thing, there has been an interest in seeing how other athletes would do if they tried their hand in the ring. This has been the case with all kinds of sports, but now it seems that another wrestler is interested in trying her hand at a sport outside of wrestling. She just won’t have to go far to find the right kind of ring. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Roman Reigns Gets Extra Violent On Sami Zayn At WWE Live Event During an interview with Fightful Select, WWE star Dana Brooke spoke about incorporating boxing training into her wrestling training. Brooke also mentioned that she hoped to book herself into a boxing fight later this year. There is no word on how long Brooke has trained in boxing or what WWE would think about her trying another sport. Brooks has not wrestled on Monday Night Raw since November 14, 2022. Brooke is a talented star. Check out what she can do in the ring: [This post contains video, click to play] ..

WATCH: Surprise Name Debuts At WWE Main Event Taping (Contains Minor SPOILER)

December 13, 2022

She’s a surprise. WWE has all kinds of wrestlers on its roster, which allows it to offer a variety of matches with different stars included. That can make for some interesting moments, but at some point WWE needs to bring in some fresh names to spice things up a bit. They may have done that again, albeit with a name that might be a bit surprising given her history. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Star Reportedly Suspended For Wellness Violation According to Fightful Select, Kylie Rae wrestled at this week’s WWE Main Event taping under the name Briana Ray, facing Dana Brooke. This comes after Rae participated in a WWE tryout camp earlier this month, though it is not clear if Rae has been signed to a contract. Rae has wrestled for All Elite Wrestling, Impact Wrestling and the NWA. However, Rae has walked away from promotions multiple times on little notice, with mental health issues often being rumored (though not confirmed) as the reason. Maybe this works. Check out Rae’..

One More Down: WWE Appears To Officially Retire Championship

November 10, 2022

It was nice while it lasted. There have been a lot of titles over the years in Wwe and that is still the case to this day. The company has quite a few championships between its three main brands, some of which have some unique rules behind them. In a rare move though, WWE has gotten rid of one of the championships after it had not been used very often in recent months. This week on Monday Night Raw, Nikki Cross defeated Dana Brooke to become the new 24/7 Title, only to throw the title away later in the night. Now the WWE Superstars page is saying that the title’s history runs from 2019 – 2022 rather than “present”. While not confirmed, this would suggest that the title has been retired and will not be returning for the time being. Opinion: I don’t think this is the biggest surprise as the title was literally thrown away (or at least close to it, as Cross missed the trash can) a few days ago. The title has not exactly been active in recent months and it makes sense to just drop the th..

Championship Dropped In The Trash On Monday Night Raw, Possibly Finished

November 8, 2022

That’s it? There are a lot of titles under the WWE umbrella and some of them are among the most well known championships in all of wrestling. It means a lot for a wrestler to win one of them but it can also mean a lot for someone to lose it as well. This time though, someone seemed to have lost a title, though not in the traditional way. She might even be happy about it. This week on Monday Night Raw, Nikki Cross defeated Dana Brooke to become the new 24/7 Champion. Later in the night, Cross was seen walking backstage where she threw the title in the trash without saying anything. While not confirmed, this could suggest that the title is being dropped, possibly as a call back to the WWF Women’s Title being dropped in the trash on Monday Nitro in 1995. The title had been active since May 2019. Opinion: At the end of the day, the 24/7 Title has been around for about three and a half years but it has lost a lot of steam in recent months. The title is almost never seen on WWE TV and is r..

Reigning WWE Champion Wants To Change Title Into Something Completely Different

November 3, 2022

It would be a big change. Titles are some of the most important things in all of wrestling and a change to one of them can mean quite a bit. There are all kinds of them floating around at the moment, especially in WWE. Occasionally the company makes a change to one of their established titles and now a current champion wants her title to be turned into something else. During a recent interview with the 10 Count podcast, reigning WWE 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke said that she wanted to transition her title into a women’s Intercontinental Title. Brooke felt that the amount of talent that the company has, including the returning stars, gives WWE enough depth to create such a title. There is nothing to suggest that WWE is interested in creating a women’s Intercontinental Title. Opinion: I’m really not sure I can picture such a title being established, but I would have said the same thing about an all women’s pay per view or a women’s match main eventing WrestleMania.

Seth Rollins Takes Shot At Fellow WWE Star, Gets Very Harsh Response

October 26, 2022

It’s not a happy response. There are a lot of people on the WWE roster and a lot of them are not able to get the amount of television time that they would like. With so many wrestlers on the roster, it can be difficult to find something for everyone to do. At some point, a wrestler is going to snap and that took place again this week, after some WWE commentary did not sit well. This week on Monday Night Raw, Seth Rollins did guest commentary on a match between Mustafa Ali and Mr. Money In The Bank Austin Theory. Rollins said that Theory had a better chance of cashing in on Dana Brooke than Rollins, should he win the WWE Universal Title. Brooke responded on Twitter, saying she works hard and “will not take this s*** anymore.” She talked about working through injuries and could fit any position. Brooke has not wrestled on Monday Night Raw since August 15. Talk is CHEAP!! I work my ass off every single day & will not tolerate this shit anymore! I can promise you I am the hardest working..

WATCH: Surprise Title Change Takes Place At WWE Live Event

September 26, 2022

It really can come out of nowhere. Titles are one of the most important things in all of wrestling. They designate who the top stars in the promotion are supposed to be and give the fans something to notice. With so many championships, it can be difficult to find a way to make each one stand out. A gimmick can help, and that was on display this weekend at a live event. WWE referee Aja Smith won the WWE 24/7 Title from Nikki Ash at a WWE live event in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on Saturday. Ash was scheduled to defend against Dana Brooke but stopped to show Smith, who rolled her up with fellow WWE referee Shawn Bennett counting the pin. Bennett then tried to roll Smith up for the title but only counted his own two. Ash then won the title back and eventually released footage of the whole situation. WWE has done something similar at recent live events, with different referees winning the title. You don’t see this every day. Check out the title changes: [This post contains vide..

Monday Night Raw Date: August 8, 2022 Location: Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, Cleveland, Ohio Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton This could be a very interesting show, as we are coming off last week’s pretty awesome episode, but now the question is how they follow it up. They certainly don’t need to have some big moment or debut/return, but keep up the energy and put on a good show and they should be fine. Let’s get to it.

WWE Reveals Women’s Tag Team Title Tournament Field, NXT Stars Included

August 9, 2022

You have to start somewhere. There are a lot of titles in WWE and holding a championship still means quite a bit. Winning a title can be a game changer for a wrestler and often serves as the start of someone’s move up to the next level. There are a few ways to become a champion and now we have a better idea of how two people will be winning a title at once. WWE has released the brackets for the tournament to crown new Women’s Tag Team Champions with the first round beginning this week on Monday Night Raw: Tamina/Dana Brooke Iyo Sky/Dakota Kai Alexa Bliss/Asuka Nikki Ash/Doudrop Raquel Rodriguez/Aliyah Xia Li/Shotzi Nikkita Lyons/Zoey Stark Natalya/Sonya Deville The tournament is being held after Naomi and Sasha Banks walked out on WWE in May, vacating the titles in the process. It is not clear when the finals will be taking place or if Lyons and Stark have been called up from NXT permanently.

WWE Star Missing Time Following Recent Car Accident

June 29, 2022

I’d call that an excused absence. There are a lot of reasons for a wrestler to not appear on a wrestling show and some of them are more frustrating than others. While there might be something as simple as the company not having anything for them, sometimes the reason is something a bit more serious. That is the case this week, but thankfully it seems that it could be worse. Monday Night Raw star Dana Brooke sent out a tweet revealing that she missed this week’s show due to being involved in a recent car accident. Brooke said that she is doing good and will be back in no time without going into the specifics of what happened or any injuries she may have suffered. Brooke’s most recent match took place last week on Main Event when she lost the 24/7 Title to Doudrop, only to win it back by the end of the show.

Here Is How WWE Internally Ranks Some Of Its Wrestlers

May 12, 2022

They have rankings. The WWE roster has changed quite a bit over the last few months and it has left things looking more than a little different. That is not a bad thing and the changes are often needed to keep things fresh. At the same time though, it can be a bit difficult to figure out how the new roster is ranked. Now we know at least about at least a specific division. According to PWInsider.com, WWE has updated the internal roster of the Monday Night Raw women’s division. This includes the rankings of the wrestlers and whether they are considered to be either a babyface or a heel.

Yes And Yes: Two WWE Couples Are Getting Married

March 29, 2022

It’s a storytelling device. There are a lot of different ways to present an angle in professional wrestling. With so many things having been done over the years, it is rare to see something brand new being done, but there is the chance of seeing something done with a new twist. That was the case again this week, as a classic story was combined with itself. Two marriage proposals took place this week on Monday Night Raw. 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke and Reggie were backstage when Reggie said he wanted to take things to a new level. This led him to propose, with Brooke accepting. Tamina then came in to attack Brooke, with Reggie making the save. Akira Tozawa then came in to propose to Tamina, who accepted as well. There is no word on when the weddings will take place. Opinion: Marriages have been a thing in wrestling for a long time now but I don’t remember the potential of a double wedding.

That’s a story they can tell. There is a lot of WWE television time to fill in every single week and some of the things that they do are rather entertaining. Eventually though, the company is going to run out of original ideas and something is going to feel a bit familiar.

Dana Brooke has held the WWE 24/7 Title since the November 21, 2021 edition of Monday Night Raw. During her title reign, former champion Reggie has been advising Brooke in an effort to retain the title. This week on Monday Night Raw, Brooke thanked Reggie for his help and kissed him on the cheek. Brooke made it clear that they were friends, though Reggie looked at her without saying anything. Eventually Reggie broke the look and said he was fine with everything, albeit while not looking happy with the situation, suggesting a potential romantic interest in Brooke.
