Keep the card going. There are a lot of ways to present a title match as you can come up with several different options. That is the case with WWE, as they have a lot of titles to choose from at any given time. Sometimes they can come up with a few different ideas here and there, and this time around they have dusted off one of the old classics for next month.
This week’s Monday Night Raw opened with new Raw Women’s Champion Nikki Ash talking about how she overcame the odds to win the title. Former champion Charlotte and Rhea Ripley interrupted, saying they wanted the title back. As a result, Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville made a triple threat match between the three of them for the title at Summerslam. This is the same match that has taken place at the two WWE live events over the weekend.
These three are going to be interesting. Check out all of them in action:

Monday Night Raw
Date: July 26, 2021
Location: T-Mobile Center, Kansas City, Missouri
Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Byron Saxton, Corey Graves
It’s time to find out how bad Raw can get this week, which tends to be the new low every week. Last week’s show was one of the biggest head scratchers I’ve seen in a very long time and it could be terrifying to see just how low things can get. We are less than a month away from Summerslam and it’s time to build things up. Let’s get to it.
We open with a recap of last week’s Women’s Title match and Nikki Ash cashing in Money in the Bank to win the title.
Here is Nikki Ash to get things going. She finally gets to welcome us to Raw and talks about how she didn’t believe she could get here. Nikki has worked to get here and once she finally started believing in herself, she accomplished her goals. If she can do it, everyone can do it and we can all be almost superheroes. Cue Charlotte to talk about how last week wasn’t fair and she is getting her rem..

He’s pretty interesting. There is no one in the wrestling world like Vince McMahon and that might be a great thing. McMahon is a lot of things, including the most powerful person in the wrestling world, but he does not have the cleanest past in the world. There are several scandals and situations throughout McMahon’s history. Now we are about to see a closer look at one of the bigger ones.
WWE has announced that it will partner with Blumhouse Studios on a limited scripted series called “The United States Of America vs. Vince McMahon.” The series will focus on McMahon being charged with steroid distribution in 1994. McMahon himself will serve as an executive producer on the series. There is no word on when the series will air or which network will air it.
This could go a lot of different ways. Check out McMahon doing his thing over the years in WWE:

You can always depend on your friends. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel in which they show the full match between Sasha Banks & Bayley vs. Charlotte & Dana Brooke from Battleground 2016.
You can watch the match in its entirety below:

From WWE.com:
The champion and her enforcer seemed confident that Banks wouldn’t be able to find a partner, but The Boss proved them wrong as the WWE Network event started. The WWE Universe was ecstatic to see Bayley, erupting in cheers as her trademark wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube men soared toward the Verizon Center’s rafters. The rapturous cheers quickly turned to jeers as Charlotte and Dana ambushed their opponents before the bell. The WWE Women’s Champion pounced on Bayley, but the resilient NXT Superstar fought out of the corner with a diving elbow and sent Banks into action.
A fired-up Boss charged at Charlotte and unleashed a hurricanrana off the ropes. However, the steel..

He may not be done yet. A debut is one of the most important parts of a wrestler’s career. If they do not come in hot, or at least respectable, it could make for a horrible problem to their career. WWE has a rather hit and miss history with this sort of thing and that was the case again last week. Now it seems that we might not be all the way to the end, and there may still be a chance.
According to Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Podcast, WWE has a planned direction for Karrion Kross and the loss in his debut was only the start of the angle. There is no word on where the angle is expected to go, though Hardy tested positive for the Coronavirus in the last few days, meaning that he will be forced to quarantine for two weeks. It is not clear if the angle will continue as Hardy quarantines.
Kross is the reigning NXT Champion and the loss to Hardy was his first pinfall defeat at any level in WWE. The loss was not mentioned during Kross’ appearance the following night on NXT, though his app..

That’s just special. Wrestlers are an interesting group as they are out there on television every single week, trying to convince us that what they are doing is real. That is a lot harder than it sounds, as wrestlers are indeed playing characters with real and different lives. Sometimes you get to see their lives on display in the ring, which was the case in a nice moment over the weekend.
Over the weekend at an MCW Pro Wrestling event, AEW’s Nick Comoroto came to the ring where his girlfriend, Becky, was standing. After praising several things about her, Comoroto proposed to Becky, who was working as a referee at the event. Becky said yes to Comoroto and the event continued, with MCW Pro posting a video of the event. Comoroto currently wrestles for AEW as part of QT Marshall’s Nightmare Factory stable.
Comoroto is a heck of a prospect. Check out the proposal and what he has done in AEW:

That’s an odd pairing. WWE has had all kinds of wrestlers over the years, with some of them being quite different than the norm. That is the kind of thing that is going to get more interest and attention than some others, which is the point in having so many different people out there. Now one of the more unique wrestlers in WWE has history has a story about an even more unique wrestler.
During an appearance on the Such Good Shoot podcast, former WWE star Swoggle spoke about bullying Great Khali during his time in WWE. Swoggle said that he intentionally bullied Great Khali every change he had, as he wanted to make a point and felt that bullying no one else would matter. He also understood that this is something which would be frowned upon today as times have changed. There is no word on how Great Khali responded to the bullying or what exactly Swoggle did.
The two of them actually had some time together on television. Check out the podcast and what they did together as a team:

Flashback. John Cena is back in a big way for WWE and it seems that he is on the road to Summerslam for a huge match against Roman Reigns. Cena has a history of being in the spotlight for WWE and it has been going on for a very long time now. With such a history to his credit, there are going to be some great matches throughout his credit. WWE is taking a look back at just that.
WWE has posted the full video of Cena’s match with Bray Wyatt from WrestleMania 30. The match was Wyatt’s WrestleMania debut and included Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in his corner. The story of the match centered around Wyatt attempting to force Cena to be more aggressive and therefore destroy his legacy. While Cena considered attacking Wyatt with a chair, Cena ultimately turned down the chance and faced Wyatt on his own.
This was a cool one. Check out the match plus some more of the Wyatt vs. Cena feud:

It’s the new reality. The Coronavirus pandemic has shaken up the entire world and there is nothing to suggest that the situation is going to be completely solved anytime soon. Things are better than they were just a few months ago, but there is still a lot of work to be done. There are also going to be a lot of people catching the virus, which is the case in wrestling again.
The recordBar in Kansas City, Missouri has announced that Jeff Hardy’s upcoming appearance at the venue has been postponed due to Hardy contracting the Coronavirus. As a result, Hardy will be forced to quarantine for two weeks, meaning he will be missing the next two weeks of WWE events as well. There is no word on when the two weeks of quarantining will begin. Hardy wrestled on last week’s Monday Night Raw.
Hardy is certainly a legend. Check out what he has done in his WWE career:

You have to let them see it. After fifteen months without them, WWE finally has fans back in the arenas for their shows. That is the kind of change that brought some new energy to the promotion after so long without it and things have improved as a result. Ultimately, what matters most is allowing people to see the show and that will be done at this year’s Summerslam in a unique way.
WWE has announced that Summerslam will air in select movie theaters around the United States for the first time in the event’s history. The show, which takes place on August 21, will be the first Summerslam to ever take place on a Saturday or in an NFL stadium, as it is held in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. More information can be found at wweliveintheaters.com.
Summerslam will air on Peacock in the United States and on the WWE Network internationally. No matches have been confirmed for the show as of yet, but Bobby Lashley defending the WWE Championship against Goldberg and John Cena challengi..

That’s worth bragging about. WWE may not be quite the force that it has been in the past, but it is still doing some things at a level that has not been seen before in wrestling. The company has grown to a level that no promotion could ever have imagined and brings in more money than they know what to do with at times. It seems that they are helping some others though and that is a good thing.
WWE has released a new video called “Go Beyond The Ring”, which showcases some of the work the company has done with charity in recent years. This mainly includes WWE stars meeting with various children in places such as schools and hospitals. The theme of the video is that these are the actions that you do not see from WWE. This is the same video which also aired on SmackDown this week.
This is pretty cool. Check out the video, plus another look at some of WWE’s charity work:
