John Cena Says He Turned Heel 10 Years Ago

John Cena recently did an “Actually Me” episode for GQ where he went undercover on several internet platforms and replied to his fans. He talked about various topics and when asked why we never see him turn heel, he made the following remarks:

“Oftentimes, I run out onto our well-produced stage to thunderous boos, and my theme song has been remixed by the audience many times. And I quote, “John Cena sucks.” Soooo, I turned heel, you missed it. It happened… just about ten years ago.”

Storyline Update on Braun Strowman’s Medical Condition

Witness Reveals What Really Went Down Between Paige & Alberto Del Rio

The witness who saw the altercation between Paige and Alberto Del Rio recent spoke to Heavy.com regarding the situation. Here are a few notes from what actually transpired:

– The witness admits to discreetly attempting to take pictures of Paige as she walked and talked on the phone until she was noticed. Paige walked back into the restaurant and one of the four people at her table walked out, presumably to see if she was still there.

– Paige came storming back out of the restaurant “crying and yelling.” Del Rio, visibly “soaked” in liquid, chased after her as she fled onto the nearby tram system. Page told Del Rio, ‘You’re such an abusive husband, I hate you. You’ve ruined my life, you’ve ruined my career’” Del Rio and Paige continued their argument for a short while on the tram car as Del Rio said, “Check her bag, she’s got all the coke in it, it’s all hers.” This is when the witness started recording the audio.

– “Let’s do it, get the cops,” Del Rio can be heard saying in the video. Paige responds by saying, “Just stay out of my life, leave me the f**k alone, I’m trying to get away from you.” This is when Del Rio started claiming that Paige assaulted him.

– The witness believed the argument between the pair started because Del Rio said inflammatory comments about one of Paige’s family members.

“From what I gather, he said something like, ‘I hope your f***ing uncle dies tomorrow, and grabs her wrist because he was mad she was on the phone for so long,” said the witness. “They wanted to leave, so he got mad and grabbed her wrist. She got upset and threw water on him and she ran out.”

After the audio stopped recording, the witness said that she stayed along with Paige and asked if she needs any assistance.

“I just wanted to help at that point,” she said, noting that an airport security guard with a K-9 stopped Del Rio “because they could smell the alcohol.”

WWE Monday Night Raw Results – July 10 2017

Welcome to Monday Night Raw, one night removed from the first-ever Great Balls of Fire PPV!

The biggest talking-point coming out of Great Balls of Fire last night was the massive segment between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. Braun won the ambulance match after Roman went for a spear and missed, sending him flying into the back of the ambulance allowing Strowman to close the doors. Roman immediately burst out of the ambulance and threw Braun inside, then proceeded to drive the ambulance into the parking lot and ram it into a production truck. Roman pretty much tried to kill Braun and walked away. Paramedics and firemen arrived and opened the ambulance up, allowing Braun to emerge bloody and beaten, but walk away under his own power. It was an incredible sight that would have been right at home in the Attitude Era. Braun looked like an absolute monster, and so did Roman…for the wrong reasons. Roman was undeniably heelish and the announcers played on this, so Roman will surely have to answer to Kurt Angle tonight.

In the main event of last night’s show, Brock Lesnar defeated Samoa Joe after being beat down for the better part of the match. Joe attacked Brock before the bell even rung and smashed him through the announce table. Joe then had the majority of offence throughout the match until Lesnar caught him with an F5 and took home the gold. It was a really good match that never quite reached 5th gear. Word is that we will get a number one contender match tonight between Joe and Roman, leading to a match with Brock at SummerSlam. I think it’s fair to say Joe would be the deserving and preferable winner for most fans.

Alexa Bliss also retained her Women’s Championship against Sasha Banks last night, in a match in which she dislocated her own elbow to get a cheap shot on Sasha. In the end, Sasha won the match via count-out, allowing Alexa to retain. This certainly allows the feud to continue, seemingly into SummerSlam, where maybe Nia Jax will be inserted. There’s a lot of directions the women’s division could head in right now and it’s pretty cool.

The Miz also retained his Intercontinental Championship last night against Dean Ambrose once again. Surely this feud is over now, it’s gone on well past its peak and I think interest is pretty much non-existent. The Miz will hopefully move on to a new opponent for SummerSlam, maybe Finn Balor. Speaking of moving on, Sheamus & Cesaro beat The Hardy Boyz again in an Iron Man match last night. This has been a great feud but it’s expiration date arrived last night and it’s time for both teams to move on.

There’s a lot to be excited about for tonight’s Raw as we start our trek towards SummerSlam! Let us know your thoughts or feelings on our Ringside Talk app, or on the Ringside News app! Enjoy the show!

Leaked Audio Reveals Alberto El Patron Was Assaulted By Paige

TMZ has leaked audio from the incident at the Orlando airport that involved Alberto El Patron and Paige.

The audio starts off with El Patron telling Paige to “call the cops.”

“Call the cops,” El Patron said. “Let’s do it. Get the cops.”

Paige starts crying before she yells, “Just stay out of my life. Leave me the f-ck alone. I’m trying to get away from you!”

El Patron would then tell her that he’s pressing charges against Paige and told a witness nearby to call the police because Paige assaulted him and needs to be arrested.

This isn’t necessarily adding up to what Paige posted on Twitter. Paige tried to play it off as if the two weren’t fighting and that they were going to call a police on someone that threw a drink at El Patron.

Judging by the audio released, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

The Big Dog Has Been Unleashed — Now Turn Him Heel

There’s no greater feeling than getting to see something you’ve been waiting a long time for. In the wrestling world, there are few events that get every single person talking. We saw one of those moments transpire in front of our eyes last night. It wasn’t for the faint at heart.

At Great Balls of Fire, Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman battled in a brutal Ambulance Match. Both men really did a number on each other, which is going to happen when you hate each other as much as these men did. The one mistake Reigns made was the high jumping spear. Braun moved out of the way and Reigns flew straight into the ambulance, allowing Strowman to secure the victory. As Braun looked to celebrate the victory, Reigns had other plans.

Getting a burst of energy from who knows where, Roman proceeded to flying out of the ambulance and unleashing a spear on the monster. After connecting with the finisher, Roman throws Braun into the back of the ambulance and drives to the parking lot. Roman contemplates his next move, then goes in for the attack. He throws it into reverse and drives full speed into the back of a trailer. First Roman attacked Braun after the match, then this? Roman hobbles out the ambulance, looking back at the disaster he has caused. Everyone is freaking out at this point, trying to get Braun out of the ambulance. Roman could not care less how Braun was doing. It was evil, it was diabolical, it was sheer genius.

It was a sick and twisted side that’s yet to be seen.

Huge Shift In Betting Odds Before Tonight’s Pay-Per-View

There was a huge shift in the betting odds for the WWE Women’s Championship prior to tonight’s Great Balls of Fire event.

Sasha Banks, who was a huge underdog this morning, is now a big favorite to win the bout. Sasha is sitting at a -3250 favorite to defeat Alexa, who is a +1350 underdog.

It should be pointed out that it doesn’t necessarily indicate that she’s winning the title, as she could always win by DQ or countout.

Tye Dillinger Answers The Miz’s Open Invitation

Tye Dillinger sent out the following tweet after The Miz issued an open invitation to anyone who wanted a shot as his Intercontinental Championship on tonight’s RAW Talk.

Unfortunately for Dillinger, he’s a SmackDown Superstar and the Intercontinental Championship is on the RAW brand. With SummerSlam being a duel branded pay-per-view there is always a chance that the match could take place but it’s not very likely.

WWE Great Balls of Fire Results – July 9 2017

Welcome to the first-ever Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view!

Tonight’s inaugural PPV will host a dream match between Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship! This is a match people thought they would never see but here we are, and the build has been better than a lot of recent Lesnar matches. If WWE ever saw this as a throwaway match to keep Brock busy, that all changed when Samoa Joe grabbed the microphone. Over the past 4-5 weeks, Samoa Joe has turned many heads with his incredible intensity and mic skills, which anyone will recognise if they watched his early TNA and ROH work. Joe is one of the best in the world and he more than deserves this match, and WWE has no doubt recognised his incredible work. It’s hard to know what to expect from the actual match tonight but it has the potential to be an all-time classic.

The other main-event worthy match for tonight is the Ambulance Match between Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns. Braun returned from injury several months early and resumed his tyranny on Raw and Roman Reigns in particular. The two went right back to beating the crap out of each other and tonight we have a number one contender’s match between them in which the stipulation is, ironically, to send your opponent to the hospital. This is kind of a dumb match because it’s supposedly barbaric but you’re sending your opponent to get medical attention; it’s like a Last Man Standing match but with more care and concern for the other guys well-being. Anyway, I expect this to be a fun spot-fest that Braun should win.

Also on tonight’s card, The Hardy Boyz challenge Sheamus & Cesaro in a 30-minute Iron Man match, which should serve as the end to this long-running feud. These two teams have never failed to deliver inside the ring but fans never seem overly excited with the feud. Personally I expect this match to be fantastic and really get the crowd going. Elsewhere, Alexa Bliss defends her title against Sasha Banks in a surprising turn. It seemed obvious that Nia Jax was on her way to facing Alexa for the belt – the story-line was writing itself – but for some reason WWE decided to go with Sasha Banks instead. It might not have the story behind it but these two could have a really good match; Bliss isn’t on Banks’ level of in-ring ability but she’s no slouch either. Regardless, I would expect a screwy finish that allows Alexa to retain the feud to continue!

Seth Rollins battles Bray Wyatt, Neville puts his Cruiserweight Championship on the line against Akira Tozawa, Enzo Amore faces his former brother Colin Cassidy, and Dean Ambrose looks to take back the Intercontinental Championship from The Miz and his entourage. That’s a stacked card that has the potential to be the red-brand’s best of the year so far. Don’t forget to check out the Ringside News and Ringside Talk apps, where you can chat about tonight’s PPV on a dedicated social platform with all the other marks like me! Enjoy the show!

Major Update on Austin Aries’ Release from WWE

It was previously reported via Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio that Austin Aries asked for his release from WWE and the company granted it. However that doesn’t appear to be the case.

In the latest installment of Wrestling Observer Radio, Melzter claimed that it was actually WWE’s idea to release Aries from his 3-year contract with the company. The word is that a lot of the writing staff didn’t like him and he appeared to be thrilled when he was handed his release because he wasn’t happy with his current position on the roster.

In regards to his future, Aries can still use his name outside of WWE because he used it prior to signing with the company. Aries is locked into a 90-day period where he is being paid by WWE and can work dates that WWE proves during that time.
