You have to pay the chair, Man. Becky Lynch is one of the biggest stars in WWE and there are very few names on her level. That means she is going to be on some of the biggest shows of the year in some of the most important spots. That was the case on Sunday when she defended the Raw Women’s Title against Sasha Banks at Clash Of Champions, but things didn’t go well after the match was over.
As announced on WWE.com, Lynch has been fined $10,000 for striking an official with a chair during her match against Banks. The shot effectively ended the match but Banks and Lynch brawled around the arena for several minutes until other referees came out to separate the two and call for the bell. Lynch’s chair shot to the referee was accidental, though she did not seem apologetic about it.
It was a heck of a fight. Check out what led to the fine and what came after the referee went down:

Even The Man isn’t exempt from the rules. Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch engaged in a battle for the Raw Women’s Championship at Clash of Champions 2019 and the two heated rivals ended up taking the fight all throughout the arena.
However, this was after an incident inside the ring cost The Man some money, according to WWE.com:
Becky Lynch has been fined $10,000 for inadvertently striking a referee during her Raw Women’s Championship Match against Sasha Banks.
The Man had intended to deliver the chair strike to The Boss but ended up hitting the referee instead. After the referee went down, the title match descended into chaos, as the two rivals took their brawl to the concourse.
Lynch did not seem pleased with the outcome of her match:

Banks brought the chair into the ring to use on Lynch, but the referee took it out of her hands and threw it to the ground. This gave The Man the idea to use it on The Boss; however, she moved out of the way ..

And then there were half. Earlier this month, WWE announced the long awaited return of the King Of The Ring tournament. The tournament, which has been held intermittently since the end of the annual competition in 2002, offers an instant upgrade for anyone who wins it, making the tournament a rather important accomplishment on almost any resume. And now, we’re done with the first round.
After this week’s SmackDown Live, the first round of the King Of The Ring tournament has come to an end, leaving the field at eight instead of the sixteen that started. The quarterfinals will take place on next week’s Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live, the semifinals the week after that and the finals at Clash Of Champions. Here are the updated brackets:
Monday Night Raw Samoa Joe
Ricochet
Cedric Alexander
Baron Corbin
SmackDown Live Elias
Ali
Chad Gable
Andrade
There was some good action on Tuesday. Check out the two first round matches from SmackDown Live:

From the purple crew. Clash Of Champions is coming up pretty soon and that means that WWE needs to get some more of the card together pretty fast. This week has already seen a few matches announced for the show, but with so many titles floating around WWE, there is almost always one more thing that needs to be set up. One of those was taken care of on Tuesday night.
On this week’s 205 Live, Humberto Carrillo defeated Oney Lorcan to become the new #1 contender to Drew Gulak’s Cruiserweight Championship. Lorcan has spent several weeks chasing the title but lost in his title shot against Gulak at Summerslam. Carrillo has also been positioned to get a shot at Gulak, though this will be his first title shot of any kind in WWE.
They beat each other up pretty well. Check out the match:

They worked so well together. Teams come and go all the time in wrestling and you never can tell when things are going to go south for what seems like a good pairing. Ever since the Rockers’ split back in 1991, WWE has seemed more fixated on destroying a team rather than having them last for a long time. Another team seemed to come to an end this week and it was rather sudden.
This week on SmackDown Live, Roman Reigns showed a video that seemed to show Erick Rowan helping in the forklift attack that almost took Reigns out. Rowan’s partner Daniel Bryan yelled at Rowan and slapped him in the face while calling Rowan a liar. This seemed to dissolve their partnership, while also announcing Rowan as at least one of Reigns’ attackers. Rowan and Bryan have been a team since January and held the SmackDown Tag Team Titles from May 7 until July 14 of this year.
So much for that. Check out the split and Reigns’ reaction:

Isn’t that a little soon? Over the last few months, Bray Wyatt has been one of the most talked about performers in all of WWE. With the mixture of his Firefly Fun House and Fiend characters, it has been hard to look away from him, no matter what he does. The things he has been doing in the ring have been second to none and now there is a chance that he is going to be doing something big.
The Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California is advertising Wyatt as the challenger for the Universal Title, held by either Braun Strowman or Seth Rollins, at Hell In A Cell in the show’s namesake match on October 6. These advertisements are not always accurate, but there is a chance that Wyatt will be returning to the ring and receiving a title shot. Wyatt has wrestled one televised match in a year, when he defeated Finn Balor at Summerslam.
Get ready @WWE fans… “The Fiend” @WWEBrayWyatt challenges @WWERollins or @BraunStrowman to a #HIAC match!

You had to get this one on there. In September, WWE will be presenting its annual Clash Of Champions pay per view, which will be featured around all of the titles the company has to offer. That is quite a high number, as the company has gone a little bit title crazy. There will be a lot of titles on the line, but not very many of them have been set. One more has now been taken care of.
As announced on WWE.com, WWE Champion Kofi Kingston will defend his title against Randy Orton at Clash Of Champions. The match has been teased for a few weeks now, as Kingston vs. Orton went to a double countout at Summerslam. Since then, the two have continued their feud, with the New Day and the Revival getting involved. Clash Of Champions takes place on September 15.
The promos have been the best part. Check out Orton’s thoughts on Kingston:

The more plans change. We are less than three weeks away from Clash Of Champions and the card is starting to take some shape. The show is built around all of the titles that WWE has, which is quite a number indeed. All of the titles are only line throughout the show and that means champions need to be in action. One person currently holds two titles, but is that going to be the case at the show?
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins are likely to hold onto the Raw Tag Team Titles all the way until Clash Of Champions. The main selling point for the two of them has been both men wrestling twice in one night, meaning they are unlikely to drop the titles before the pay per view. Rollins and Strowman are scheduled to defend their titles against Dolph Ziggler and Bobby Roode before facing off for the Universal Title later that night.
The title match is a big deal. Check out how it was set up:
