NEWS

Up up and away. WWE’s record of talking about mainstream news is hit and miss at best. Sometimes something will happen and it becomes a topic of conversation on the shows and other times something will happen and it’s never mentioned. When something good happens to WWE though, you know full well that it’s going to be a featured topic on their television shows for a very long time. Given yesterday’s major news about SmackDown, there’s no surprise that it was a big deal. Yesterday, it was announced that FOX would be purchasing the broadcasting rights to SmackDown Live in a deal that could bring WWE over a billion dollars over the next five years. As a result, according to Marketwatch.com, the company’s stock soared 12.5% on Monday, bringing them to a record high of $58.30 a share. This continues a very lucrative year for the company, whose stock is up 194% in the last twelve month period.
They could all be Ted DiBiase at this point. Remember this gem?

Not again… SmackDown Live General Manager Paige is yet again the victim of an online celebrity video leak, according to Ringside News. Time and time again we have seen Paige become the victim of online video leaks. These pictures and videos have shown herself engaging in sexual acts with former WWE Superstar Brad Maddox, Xavier Woods of The New Day and another unidentified man.
The latest set of leaks reportedly includes three new clips, all of which show the three men mentioned above in addition to Paige. It also brings the total time of footage to an hour, as Ringside News writes.
In the past, Paige has been open about the leaks. She has said on Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia that she almost contemplated suicide in dealing with the leaks: “That scarred me. People invading my privacy to the point where I don’t even want to go out because people are looking at me bad. I was out yesterday with my friends and this guy goes up to my friend and says ‘that’s the porn star, I j—ed off to..

Building up that money. We’re less than a month away from Money in the Bank and that means it’s time to really start cranking things up. However, with the majority of the sixteen participants across the two matches already set, there’s only so much you can do in the meantime. There are still some matches to be set up, but at the same time we can at least build up a few other matches on the card. That’s what might be done this week on SmackDown Live. What happened on last week’s show? Check out the full results right here.
WWE.com has released its official preview for this week’s SmackDown Live, which will be covering more building towards Money in the Bank. There will be two more qualifying matches taking place, but we’ll also find out which member of the New Day is going to be in the match after the team earned a spot for one member of the team. Finally, we’ll also be finding out what kind of stipulation Shinsuke Nakamura is picking for his upcoming match with WWE Champion AJ Styles…

Meet the new home, same as the old home. Over the last few weeks, one of the biggest stories has been the upcoming changes to the WWE television home. While it seems that Monday Night Raw is going to be sticking around in its same time slot thanks to a major deal with NBC Universal, SmackDown Live was up in the air. Now though, we seem to know where it’s landing. According to ESPN, SmackDown Live will be moving to FOX (the main network rather than FOX Sports 1) in October 2019. While no specifics have been confirmed, the Hollywood Reporter reports that the deal is worth over $1 billion over five years. It should also be noted that according to The Wrap, SmackDown Live will be moving to Friday nights. Neither WWE nor Fox commented on the deal, which has yet to be publicly announced.
Since they’re changing networks, make sure to remember the times they were together.

Opinion: This is a long way off, but good night this is a major deal. To air..

Are you ok? Because you just got thrown through a wall. In wrestling, you can see people having all sorts of horrible things done to them. It might be a suplex, a right hand, or some kind of complicated hold. Other things require something a little bit more basic though, like throwing them through something rather hard. Like, say, a wall. It makes for quite the power display, or at worst looks rather devastating. WWE thinks so too and we’re hitting the countdown as a result.
These things always look good.

WWE has released a new Top Ten video, looking at the greatest Wall Busters in history. Most of these are from modern WWE and several of them involve people going through the LED wall on the stage, but the list also goes to other promotions. It also sees various moments of people being put through walls backstage, many of which involve someone throwing someone much smaller through in a huge crash. The list was inspired..

Together again. It seems that we can’t go a single day without having something happen between the now split up Nikki Bella and John Cena. The couple, who was scheduled to be married earlier this month, broke up instead and drama has ensued ever since. The story began to take different paths every day with one bit of breaking news after another. It seems possible that the two could get back together, which would start with the two being in the same place. As it turns out, that seems to have started. There are other signs that this might be working. Check out some hints here.
According to the New York Daily News, Cena and Bella were seen together for the first time since their engagement ended, getting some coffee on Saturday in San Diego. While the two split up just a few weeks ago, Cena has since changed his mind and said that he wants to marry Bella. At the same time though, Bella has said she’s not completely done but needs more time to make sense of everything.
What’s WWE’s take ..

One rung at a time. With Money in the Bank about a month away, there are several things left to do on Modnay Night Raw before it’s time to climb. The last few weeks have given us several names in the Money in the Bank ladder matches but there are still a few more spots to be filled in. There are some other things to do though, including setting up more of Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal. So what’s on tap for this week? Here are last week’s results if you need a recap.
WWE.com has released its official preview for this week’s Monday Night Raw. As has been the case in the last two weeks, the show will be focused on building towards next month’s Money in the Bank pay per view, including more qualifying matches for the show’s namesake ladder match. At the moment, the men’s match is set on the Monday Night Raw side but there are still women’s spots to be filled. Here are the stories featured on this week’s show.

That sounds like a good reputation to me. Ronda Rousey was once the most dangerous woman in the world and the most dominant woman in UFC history. Now she’s come to WWE and brings a lot of star power with her. However, with that star power, there comes the chance that you might find yourself to be a bigger star than everyone else around you. Rousey come into wrestling as a lifelong fan, but does she have the same problems with star power as others may have had? What will Rousey be doing on screen soon? Check here to find out.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rousey has had no issues with star power whatsoever. She has been described as “100%” tremendous and having no issues. Rousey is even seen as humble given how big of a star she was before she came into the company and has no issues with her ego. It’s been an issue before with other major sports names who come into the company and see it as beneath them due to their status but it’s not happening in Rousey’s case.

Another one bites the dust. The selling of an injury is a dying art in wrestling. While the selling done during the matches themselves isn’t bad, there’s a forgotten aspect to the whole thing: selling the injuries after the match is over. Leaving out the idea of looking and acting injured on the streets, there’s the concept of not just getting out of the ring and walking to the back like nothing happens. It’s rare enough these days that just seeing it happen can still fool the fans, which seems to be the case on the European tour. In case you need something a bit lighter involving wrestling, check this out.
According to NoDQ.com, Big Cass was seen limping after a recent match in Amsterdam. This video, which can be seen below, isn’t the best sign as Big Cass is freshly back from a torn ACL that kept him out of action for over six months. However, a new report from Wrestlinginc.com says that this has been the case for every match on the tour as Big Cass is selling the injuries from Dani..
