WWE announced on tonight’s episode of RAW that Brock Lesnar will be returning to RAW next week. He is expected to confront Samoa Joe in some fashion for attack Paul Heyman on tonight’s show.
No other matches or segments have been announced for next week’s show, but we will keep you updated.
WWE has reportedly signed former Impact Knockout Thea Trinidad.
According to Pro Wrestling Sheets she will be headed to the WWE Performance Center to start her career in WWE. For those not aware, Trinidad is currently dating Austin Aries and also shot scenes as AJ Lee earlier this year for the upcoming film about Paige’s life.
Smith Hart announced on Facebook that he has entered Hospice Care. For those not aware, he’s the eldest child of Stu & Helen Hart and has been battling terminal prostate cancer in recent months.
Here is the announcement:
“I am now more comfortable after being moved into Hospice care. I would like to end any strife or suffering I have been involved with over my life. To anyone and everyone, cherish the moments you have in this world. Do not waste your time with hate or anger. To anyone I have offended, mistreated or been at odds with, please accept my humblest of apologies. While I may not have always been everyone’s cup of tea, I always did my best to be the person I was most inspired by, my father. I would also like to thank my dear friend Carl Leduc, for making the visit from Montreal to come see me. It meant the world and I really like the new phone.”
Welcome to another exciting edition of Monday Night Raw!
Samoa Joe shocked the world last night at Extreme Rules when he grabbed Finn Balor in a Coquida Clutch and choked him out. Joe became the number one contender to Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship and the Samoan Bulldozer had some words for Brock Lesnar on Raw Talk:
WWE.COM has been teasing a response from Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar tonight but I would be shocked if The Beast actually appeared. A showdown between Joe and Lesnar will be amazing, even if it is just a one-off match. Joe will also look to keep his momentum tonight with a comfortable win over some poor soul.
Two title changes also occurred at Extreme Rules last night, with The Miz winning his 7th Intercontinental Championship, and Sheamus and Cesaro regaining the Tag Team Championships from The Hardy Boyz. The Miz was able to beat Dean Ambrose, with a little cheating, to win another Intercontinental Championship and hopefully begin to restore meaning to that title again. Ambrose has been a fairly lacklustre champion every time he has held a belt, whereas The Miz thrive with a title on his shoulder. The Hardy Boyz lost their first tag match since returning last night, and thus lost their titles as well. It was a solid match and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a rematch at Great Balls of Fire.
Alexa Bliss battled Bayley in a weird match last night. I say weird because the story built around the match was that Bayley wasn’t able to get extreme, well then you would think the match would climax when Bayley finally discovered her edge. Nope, Alexa just blasted Bayley with the Kendo Stick multiple times, hit the Bliss DDT and pinned her clean. It was a really odd finish but, frankly, I’m glad to see the end of this rivalry. Nia Jax made it clear on the pre-show last night that she is next in line, no matter who the Champion is, so I would expect an altercation on tonight’s program.
Then there’s Neville, still the Cruiserweight Champion, Kurt Angle’s cryptic phone messages, and Elias Samson still singing his heart out. All that and loads more happening on tonight’s Raw. What are you excited to see? Let us know in the comments, check out the Ringside News app, and enjoy the show!
WWE announced that Bray Wyatt vs. Roman Reigns will open tonight’s episode of RAW.
Also confirmed for tonight’s show, The Miz will be celebrating his Intercontinental Championship win after beating Dean Ambrose for the championship at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view event.
Check back here at 8PM ET for our live play-by-play coverage.
PWInsider reports that James Storm is slated to be the next inductee into the Impact Wrestling Hall of Fame this year. An announcement on social media read:
“James Storm has had a storied career, Storm has accomplished more than almost anyone on the roster! However, The Cowboy isn’t done and isn’t thinking about his Hall of Fame induction. #Slamm15”
Impact posted the following footage with comments from Storm about the induction:
WWE heads to Baltimore, MD for tonight’s Extreme Rules event. Here are a couple of notes and possible spoilers for tonight’s show:
With only six matches announced for the card, the Fatal 5-Way main event is expected to receive a lot of time.
While there is no pre-show match announced for the show, it is very possible that they either add a cruiserweight match or R-Truth vs. Goldust.
With The Hardy Boyz winning every match heading to their bout against Sheamus and Cesaro, it is possible that they drop the titles.
The Drifter is expected to attack The Miz because he “owes him one”.
Per betting odds, Samoa Joe is expected to win the Fatal 5-Way. It should be noted that betting odds are not always correct.
Check back here at 7PM ET for our play-by-play coverage of tonight’s show. We will also have a Extreme Rules discussion on our new social media site, RingsideTalk.net.
Bischoff says that he has received very favourable reviews of his ’Table for 3’ appearance with Jim Cornette and Michael ‘PS’ Hayes from last Monday night. He says that he general consensus is that fans want more, but he’s not sure that he and Cornette have more of those shows in them.
He says that Cornette is funny, articulate and very intelligent. However, he’s very opinionated as well, so that can rub some people the wrong way at points. Before they began taping, Cornette told Bischoff that he was going to ‘come at him’ and Bischoff told him to bring it on because first and foremost he wanted the show to be entertaining.
Bischoff says that he likes Cornette. Sure, they’ve had some differences and they’ll never be best friends, but he’d embrace the opportunity to debate Cornette again at some point in the future.
Bischoff thought that Hayes did a great job as the middle man between him and Cornette during this show. The last time he did a show like this with Hayes, he was so drunk that he could barely talk. Luckily, Hayes was completely sober during this show and even though he dressed like a ‘gay hooker’, he did a great job.
Samoa Joe is no longer the favorite to win the Fatal 5-Way match at tonight’s Extreme Rules match.
5 Dimes has released the updated betting odd’s for tonight’s show and Seth Rollins is now the favorite to leave the event as the new #1 contender for Brock Lesnar’s WWE Universal Championship.
Seth Rollins comes in as a -100 favorite, while Samoa Joe is sitting at +145. Finn Balor is at +700, Bray Wyatt at +1450 and Roman Reigns at +3000.
There are no other drastic changes in the last 24-hours except for the Fatal 5-Way match. We will keep you updated if there are any other major changes.
