Mark your calendars. We are coming up on WrestleMania 36, which is kind of like the season finale for WWE. Everything that the company does leads up to the show and that means they need to have something planned for after it is over. That is the case with a host of pay per views still to come later in the year. Those shows need to be announced, and two of them did just that on Monday.
There are a lot of pay per views on the WWE’s annual calendar and that means they have a lot to cover. In the modern version, several of the shows have some kind of a theme to them, including matches that will dominate the show. Some of these are bigger than others, and on Monday two of the biggest shows of the year had a lot of information established for the first time.
The locations and dates for two 2020 WWE pay per views were announced on Monday. First, the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland confirmed via Facebook that Money in the Bank will take place on May 10. Second, according to the Wres..

Surprise! Titles are what make the wrestling world go around. With few exceptions, almost every major story centers around or at least features a title in some way or another. That can make for some interesting moments as a title change can shake things up in a hurry. If you don’t know that it’s coming, things can be even more exciting. That was the case again in a big way on Monday.
One of the biggest stories over the last few weeks on Monday Night Raw has been Seth Rollins taking over the show. Rollins has dubbed himself the Monday Night Messiah and assembled an army to fight off just about anyone who dares to get in his way. As you might have expected, this included winning a title, though the title reign wound up being rather short lived.
This week on Monday Night Raw, the Street Profits defeated Rollins and Murphy to win the Raw Tag Team Titles for the first time. The match was billed as the Street Profits’ last chance to win the titles forever and came after they had lost multip..

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net, starting today. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be?
Elimination Chamber 2017

We’re two weeks removed from the Royal Rumble and that means it’s time for another pay per view. This time it’s Smackdown only with the big namesake match setting up the Wrestlemania World Title match for the blue brand. The winner seems pretty obvious but that’s never stopped WWE before. Let’s get to it.

This is a weird one as it’s the fallout show from Super ShowDown as well as the go home show for Elimination Chamber. Hopefully we get more for the latter than the former as Elimination Chamber is hardly looking like a strong show at the moment. I’m not sure what we are going to see added but they need to do a lot of it. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Here are Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar to get things going. Heyman does his usual shtick and then says he can’t do this. It’s their job to make you interested in Wrestlemania and yes, this year’s card looks like the best in years. The problem is the main event, which is a sham. Drew McIntyre is overhyped, because he eliminated Lesnar from the Royal Rumble with the help of a low blow from Ricochet.
There is no reason to believe that McIntyre can pin or submit Lesnar because the next time Lesn..

He managed to get out. Wrestling is a unique business as most wrestlers are not going to wrestle until the time when most people are ready to retire. A lot of the time they are going to get out of the business far earlier than most and that can make things a little bit strange for them down the line. Some of them get out when they want to though and that can make for some nice moments, such as what happened last week.
A lot of wrestlers have come and gone over the years. Some of them might have had more success than others, but there are a lot of them who have made an impact in one way or another. Now some of these impacts might not have been the most positive, but at least they are remembered for something. One such wrestler got in the ring for the final time after a memorable career.
On Friday night, Duane Gill, better known as Gillberg, wrestled his retirement match at an Adrenaline Championship Wrestling event in Glen Burnie, Maryland. James Ellsworth tweeted out that he wrestled..

The following are the full results from the 2019 Clash of Champions pay-per-view event, courtesy of Wrestling Inc.:
– The 2019 WWE Clash of Champions Kickoff pre-show opens live from the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina as Jonathan Coachman welcomes us. He’s joined by Charly Caruso, David Otunga and WWE Hall of Famer Booker T. The panel goes over the card and Coach leads us to a video package on Sasha Banks vs. RAW Women’s Champion Becky Lynch. We get a discussion and promo for the WWE Title match between Randy Orton and champion Kofi Kingston next.
We come back and Kofi is backstage with SmackDown Tag Team Champion Big E. Charly asks what “the good word” is but they brush her off and seem to mock her. Charly mentions Xavier Woods not being here tonight because of the attack from The Revival that has had him down for a month, but Woods appears in the camera shot and says he’s back. They go on about proving why The New Day is the best tonight, and how Kofi will still be th..

A little change can be good for everyone. It had been previously rumored that a WWE Draft was coming, in order to help with the company’s upcoming move to FOX on October 4.
WWE confirmed the news tonight during the 2019 Clash of Champions pay-per-view, and posted the following about it on WWE.com:
There’s about to be a Draft in here!
The destinies of WWE Superstars will be determined during a two-night WWE Draft taking place live on Friday Night SmackDown on Oct. 11 on FOX and Raw on Oct. 14 on USA Network.
On both nights of the Draft, Superstars from Raw and SmackDown will appear along with personalities from FOX and NBCUniversal programming to announce select picks that will determine the rosters of each distinct brand.
This move may eliminate the ‘Wild Card’ rule that was instituted by Mr. McMahon a few months ago:
