That would be a big one. We are less than two weeks away from WWE’s Hell In A Cell pay per view and some of the card has already been announced. There are still several things that need to be taken care of though and that includes some of the more prominent title matches. Even though it has not been confirmed, we might know what one of the bigger ones will be.
According to F4WOnline.com, Roman Reigns is expected to defend the Universal Title against Rey Mysterio at Hell In A Cell on June 20. This comes after Reigns attacked both Rey and his son Dominik Mysterio on last week’s SmackDown. The match has yet to be made official. Should the match be made, it would be the first time that the two have ever met in a singles match.
This could be good. Check out how we got to the match and both in action:

Opinion: I don’t think this is exactly the biggest surpris..

That could shake things up a bit. The wrestling world has changed a lot in recent years and a lot of that has had to do with how many more options wrestling fans have. Fans today can see more wrestling than ever before and it opens up so many more doors for them. Some of the promotions today are willing to work together, and a title change that took place over the weekend could affect more than one of them.
Kamille became the new NWA Women’s Champion over the weekend at NWA When Our Shadows Fall, defeating Serena Deeb to win the title. The NWA Women’s Title has been used by All Elite Wrestling over the course of AEW’s existence, including as recently as last week’s Double Or Nothing Buy-In show. There is no word on if the title will continued to be defended on AEW programming, though previous champion Thunder Rosa defended the title in AEW.

It’s one of a kind. Wrestling occupies a weird place in the celebrity world as you do not see wrestlers break into the mainstream very often. At the same time though, you do see some celebrities who know their way around wrestling, as several of them have been a fan at some point in their lives. Now there is a new story of how a pretty famous actor had a run in with a top name wrestler and things got interesting.
CM Punk was a guest on the Wrestling Perspective Podcast and told a story about staying at Lars Frederiksen’s (one of the show’s co-hosts) house when actor Robin Williams was there as well. Williams found out that Punk was sleeping upstairs and decided to splash him in bed. Punk woke up and chased Williams down, eventually tackling him and putting him in an airplane spin in the street. Punk did not realize it was Williams until he started chasing after him.
That’s one of the most out there stories you’ll ever hear. Check out Punk’s appearance with some other cool stories:

Welcome back. Wrestlers can be a unique breed as you can see them come and go from the industry. Some of them will stick around for a long time but others will try to leave but wind up right back where they were. That can make for some interesting situations and it seems to be the case again with a wrestler who has seemingly had some issues staying in one place.
This weekend, Kylie Rae made her NWA debut at When Our Shadows Fall. It was announced that she was officially signed to the promotion and would be appearing regularly. Rae teamed Taryn Terrell and defeated Thunder Rosa and Melina in a tag match. This comes a day after Rae successfully defended her Warrior Wrestling Women’s Title in her first match of the year.
Rae had been part of Impact Wrestling from October 2019 – October 2020, including becoming the #1 contender for the Knockouts Title. However, she did not appear at Bound For Glory for her title shot. After the no show, Rae announced her retirement from professional wres..

What could have been. You never know when you are going to see the next big thing in wrestling. Sometimes you see someone get the chance that they have been waiting on for a long time, but there are also instances where it does not take nearly as long. The latter was almost the case last year with a young star, but certain circumstances kept it from coming together.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, AEW postponed Jungle Boy’s push until live fans were back. The original plan for Jungle Boy was to have him face Chris Jericho for the AEW World Title in a program but the Coronavirus pandemic forced the change. Jericho lost the title in February 2020 and Jungle Boy has since won the Casino Battle Royal to become the new #1 contender to Kenny Omega’s World Title.
This has serious potential. Check out what Jungle Boy can do in the ring and his awesome theme song:

What could have been. Stables are one of the easiest ideas in all of wrestling. You take some people with a similar status or character or really anything you choose and put them together. It is an idea that has worked for decades and always will in one way or another. That is still the case in WWE, and now we know what might have been with a stable proposed not that long ago.
Earlier this week, WWE released several wrestlers from the company, including Santana Garrett. According to Fightful Select, Garrett’s release was not a surprise to various people inside WWE. Garrett had been part of the main roster for just over a year but only appeared in three matches, including this year’s Royal Rumble. She did not have a match that lasted more than five minutes while part of the main roster.
There were several creative plans pitched for Garrett, with the most prominent being part of a stable involving Vanessa Borne and Chelsea Green on one of the two main roster shows. Both Borne and Green..

205 Live
Date: June 4, 2021
Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Vic Joseph, Nigel McGuinness
There are some new wrestlers around here but things are already starting to sink into the same problems the show has had for months now. I’m hoping that they find some way to make it better, but there are only so many things that can be done with the limitations that 205 Live has. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Ari Sterling vs. Sunil Singh A rollup gives Sterling a quick one but he has to fight out of a headlock. Sunil gets knocked outside so the Boyz try to make a switch….which doesn’t work as they don’t look alike. The referee tells Samir to get out but Sunil uses the distraction to come in for a chop block.
Some leg cranking ensues but Sterling kicks him over the top for trying a cannonball. Sunil takes him down again though and it’s a slingshot elbow to the knee to put Sterling in trouble again. The Bollywood Lock goes on but Sterling turns it over for..

Getting things started the right way. One of the great traditions in the NBA is the ringing of the bell before the Philadephia 76ers take the court for a home game. This is to pay homage to the Liberty Bell, which resides in the city of Brotherly Love. Today, however, Triple H made his presence felt during this ceremony.
The Game walked out with 76ers star Joel Embiid, coming out to the Degeneration-X theme and wearing DX gear. After a few crotch chops and pandering to the crowd, Triple H rang the bell with his trademark sledgehammer to get the game started.
You can see the clip below:

What could have been. There have been a lot of stales in WWE history and some of them do not receive a lot of attention. For every Evolution, there are several more which do not make the biggest impact. That can leave a lot of groups mostly lost to history, but every now and then you see a bit of a reference to one of them. It turns out that was the case last year, but it was not exactly what you would have expected.
In an interview with Fightful Select, former WWE star Alexander Wolfe revealed that several of the original ideas for the Retribution stable was pitched by Sanity when they were called up to SmackDown in 2018. Several of the same ideas are now being used by Eric Young, the former leader of Sanity, in his Violent By Design stable in Impact Wrestling. Sanity was part of WWE from April 2018 until April 2019.
Wolfe was part of the Sanity stable along with Young, Killian Dain, Nikki Cross and Sawyer Fulton, the latter two of whom did not appear with them on SmackDown. The tea..

That would explain a bit. Injuries can happen to anyone at almost any time and unfortunately there is no way to completely prevent them. Every wrestler gets hurt at some point and the only difference is how long they are going to be kept out of the ring. That is the case again with an AEW wrestler, but his time on the shelf might be a little bit shorter than expected.
According to Bodyslam.net, AEW’s Rey Fenix is out of action with a groin injury. The injury took place about two weeks ago and was scheduled to keep him out of action for six to eight weeks, meaning he could be back as soon as early July. There is no word on when Fenix was injured. He was written off of AEW television during this week’s edition of Dynamite when it was announced that the Young Bucks attacked him backstage.
Fenix is one of the best high fliers going today. Check out what he can do in and above the ring:

They have a plan. We are still a few months away from Summerslam but that does not mean it is too early to start planning. There are a lot of things that need to be done before the show gets here and now a lot of the details are starting to fall into place. WWE has taken the time to make those details work, including one which has nothing to do with wrestling.
This weekend, WWE announced that Summerslam 2021 will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, August 21. The date was known in advance but the venue had yet to be confirmed. The situation may cause WWE some scheduling conflicts as the show is in the same city and on the same date as a major boxing match, but WWE has a plan in advance.
According to PWInsider.com, WWE’s plan to deal with the Pacquiao fight is to have Summerslam end early enough for fans to either make it to the fight or to watch it on pay per view elsewhere. Summerslam is currently scheduled to begin at 8pm EST with the fight taking plac..

He can kind of get away with it. It is very rare that you see a wrestler who is presented as leaps and bounds above everyone else in the promotion. When that is done properly, it cane be one of the best things in all of wrestling though and we are currently seeing that take place in WWE. It turns out that the person who is above everyone else is using some of the authority he has built up for himself.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Roman Reigns will not appear during the middle of any show and will only be featured as part of the beginning or end of a show. There is no word on if this means just based on interviews/segments or in matches as well. Reigns appeared at the beginning and end of this week’s SmackDown, but also during segments throughout the show. He also did not wrestle in either the first or last match of this year’s Elimination Chamber event.
Reigns kind of deserves the spots. Check out what he has been doing as of late:
