As seen at Sunday’s WWE Battleground event, the crowd was noticeably quiet for a majority of the evening with. Someone would argue it would have a lot to do with the show being one of the worst pay-per-view events of 2017 and even some are saying in recent WWE history.
Roman Reigns took to his Twitter account to react to the crowd reactions the event received. He sent out the following tweet:
The following names have been confirmed for season seven of WWE Total Divas, courtesy of WWE.com:
Nikki Bella
Brie Bella
Carmella
Nia Jax
Alexa Bliss
Natalya
Maryse
Lana
Naomi
As previously noted, Paige, Eva Marie and Renee Young are not apart of the upcoming season.
Several readers have sent word that Finn Balor worked Saturday’s WWE Live Event in Hampton, Virginia wearing Kinesio tape on his shoulder. It’s being speculated that he may have aggravated the shoulder on Friday’s Live Event, as he was not wearing the tape that night.
For those not aware, Kinesio tape is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion. John Cena used this tape back in 2016 when he was healing from an injury. Other WWE Superstars have been seen using it as well.
As of this writing, an injury has not been confirmed or announced but it’s probably something only minor. We will keep you updated if we hear anything else regarding Balor’s status.
Austin Aries posted the following photo on Instagram showing off his new “updated” look. It was noted last week that he completely shaved everything off. It appears now that he is growing out his facial hair again:
“A big shout out and thank you to @therock for the fresh new @underarmour gear… and the inspiration for my fresh new haircut? Time to go to work, as you can’t be wearing these horns and not be kicking ass. #humblehungry #smedium #underarmour #plantbased #plantpower”
Sound off in the comment section on how you feel about his new look…
While speaking to Ringside Collectibles, Sasha Banks was asked about possibly facing Ronda Rousey and mentioned that she believes that she could beat her in a wrestling match.
“She would go down! We’re talking about a wrestling match, right? Not MMA, because I would go down. Wrestling? No, that’s my ring honey bunny and you can’t step in my ring, okay? I’m the ‘Legit Boss’ of the WWE and you are? [Puts hand to her ear] Oh, that’s what I thought, sorry.”
When asked about who her dream match would be against at WrestleMania, she mentioned Bayley as the perfect opponent for her on the the grandest stage of them all.
“I’d choose Bayley one-on-one, but I would love to have the Four Horsewomen [in a] Fatal 4-Way [Match] at WrestleMania. I think that would be amazing.”
