Monday Night Raw Date: February 13, 2023 Location: Barclays Center, New York City, New York Commentators: Corey Graves, Kevin Patrick It is the go home show for the Elimination Chamber and that means we need to finalize everything for the red half of the event.

Here is Becky Lynch, with Adam Pearce, for a chat. Becky is happy to be here and says she even dressed spiffy for us.

Personal Request: How Ronda Rousey Caused Controversial Name To Work Survivor Series
He was requested. There are all kinds of people who come together to make a wrestling show work and some of them do not get the attention they deserve. While the people in front of the cameras are the ones who matter the most, there are also people who are going to help put everything together behind the scenes. Now one of the more controversial ones has a bit better of an explanation. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Angry Chief: Roman Reigns Reportedly “Very Heated” Over Unplanned WarGames Spot Over the weekend, WWE presented Survivor Series, which included a SmackDown Women’s Title match that saw Ronda Rousey successfully defending against Shotzi. The match was co-produced by Jason Jordan and the returning Brian Kendrick, the latter of whom is not a full time WWE producer. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Rousey requested that Kendrick, one of her original trainers, be brought in for the show. While this was considered a tryout, it was more catering to Rousey’s request. The tryout wa..

Angry Chief: Roman Reigns Reportedly “Very Heated” Over Unplanned WarGames Spot
Spoils of war? Over the weekend, WWE presented its annual Survivor Series event, which featured the main roster debut of WarGames. There was both a men’s and women’s match on the show, with the Bloodline coming out on top in the show’s main event. Roman Reigns dominated parts of the match, but there was one part that did not go so well for him, which could have been much worse. According to Fightful Select, Reigns was “very heated” over an unplanned spot between himself and Kevin Owens during the match. Reigns was also described as “visibly upset” after the match was over and reportedly went on an expletive filled rant once backstage. He also believed he might have a ruptured eardrum due to the incident. However, there is nothing to indicate that there will be any lingering issues and there was no physical altercation backstage. The belief is that if there are issues, the two will talk them out. It was a busy night. Check out some of the WarGames match: [This post contains video, cl..

Two AEW Stars Get In Heated Argument (And It Gets Personal)
It isn’t going well. The rise of technology has changed the way the wrestling world works in a very good way. Fans are now able to see more content than they have ever been able to see before from the comfort of their own home. However, there are also downsides to this technology and that was on display this week as some stars got into an argument in a rather public setting. AEW’s Sammy Guevara and Andrade El Idolo have gotten in a Twitter argument. The issues began with an interview that El Idolo gave (in Spanish) saying that Guevara complained about El Idolo hitting too hard in the ring. El Idolo said Guevara was the only one who ever complained, as the solution was to hit back harder. Guevara sent out a tweet of his own, albeit without referencing El Idolo, saying “You are a jobber. A favor hire. Be grateful b****.” El Idolo responded, with Guevara’s name, saying that if he has a problem with someone, he says it to their face. The two have continued to go back and forth throughout..

Jonathan Gresham Requests ROH/AEW Release After “Cussing Out” Tony Khan
The champ may be out. According to a report from Fightful Select, former ROH Heavyweight Champion Jonathan Gresham has requested his release from ROH & AEW. The report states that Gresham asked for his release Saturday ahead of the Death Before Dishonor pay-per-view. He defended the ROH World Heavyweight Championship against Claudio Castagnoli and dropped the title to him in the opening match fo the show. “A lack of communication between the company and Gresham leading up to the weekend” led him to feel “disrespected.” The lack of time given to the World Title match during last night’s show was also a noted “tipping point.” Gresham reportedly met with Tony Khan before the show began and got heated enough to the point that he was “cussing out” the boss. The former champion has since responded to inquiries about the ordeal and is said to be “done with wrestling for the foreseeable future after this month.” We will continue to monitor this story and provide updates as they become avai..

Made Again: Title Change Takes Place On AEW Dynamite
For the first time. Title changes can make a huge difference in a wrestler’s career as you can see them moving up the ladder right in front of your eyes. It can be the kind of thing that reallys tarts a career in a huge way. That might have been the case again this week, as a young and upcoming star finally got his hands on some gold in some pretty impressive fashion. This week’s AEW Dynamite featured Wardlow defeating Scorpio Sky in a street fight to become the new TNT Champion. The win markes Wardlow’s first title of any kind in AEW. The match came about after Sky cheated to retain the title over Wardlow in their previous match. Sky’s loss ends his second title at seventy days, having won the title on the April 27 edition of Dynamite. Opinion: Wardlow had to win something and this is as good of an idea as they had for him at the moment. He gets a championship and has officially accomplished something in AEW. I’m not sure where he goes next, but lining up one villain in a row to com..

More On Mustafa Ali Requesting WWE Release, Vince McMahon’s Involvement
That would do it. Like him or not, there is no one in the wrestling world as powerful as Vince McMahon. The right or wrong take from McMahon can determine where a wrestler’s career goes and there is little that can be done to chance that. These issues are often for the worse and unfortunately that seems to be the case again with one of the more underused WWE stars. Earlier today, WWE star Mustafa Ali announced that he was requesting his release from the company, saying that he is unable to deliver the message that he wants to deliver while working for the company. According to Fightful Select, Ali has been ready to return to WWE television since the beginning of December, following one week off for the birth of his third child. Ali had been expected to return with his New America gimmick, which never made air, though Ali did release an unaired promo on Twitter. Instead, McMahon changed his mind and pitched something Ali never would have done, leading to a “heated argument” between th..

Ouch: Liv Morgan Injured On Monday Night Raw
That could slow her down. Every now and then you see a star catch fire and turn into one of the bigger stories on any given show. It works very well if a wrestler can capture the audience’s attention and see how far things can go. That is the case on Monday Night Raw, but now things might be slowed down a little bit due to a pretty badly timed injury to a rising star. This week’s Monday Night Raw featured a showdown between Liv Morgan and Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch. Morgan had been cheated out of her title shot the previous week and wanted a rematch. Before accepting, Lynch attacked Morgan, including crushing her arm against the ring steps. During Raw Talk, Morgan was announced as having suffered a deep bone bruise and a strained radial collateral ligament in her left arm. She is still expected to challenge Lynch at Day One on January 1.

Huge Title Rematch Added To WWE Day One Card
Take two. We are less than three weeks away from WWE Day One and the card is starting to come together. With so little time left before the show, it is time to start hammering down all of the details, including adding some of the title matches. That was the case this week, as a pretty big rematch was officially set for the card, albeit only after the challenger got taken out. Last week on Monday Night Raw, Becky Lynch cheated to retain the Raw Women’s Title over Liv Morgan. This week, Morgan challenged Lynch to a rematch at Day One, knowing that Lynch needed to cheat to beat her. Lynch did not immediately accept the challenge, instead getting in a brawl with Morgan first. The fight would head outside, where Morgan’s arm was stomped against the steps several times. Lynch would then accept the match. It was a busy night.

Becky Lynch Explains Curious Summerslam Squash Over Bianca Belair
There’s the line of thinking. Every now and then, you see something in wrestling that does not make a ton of sense. It can leave wrestling fans sitting around wondering what is going on and what the company is thinking. That was the case earlier this summer with one of the highest profile moments in a long time, and now we know more about how the thinking went. Back at Summerslam, Becky Lynch made her return after a sixteen month absence and defeated Bianca Belair in 26 seconds to win the SmackDown Women’s Title. Lynch appeared on the Out Of Character podcast and discussed the match, including why it was a short squash. Lynch explained that WWE did not want to damage Belair, which would have been the case had they had a long match where Belair just lost. Instead, the idea was to have Belair lose so fast, leaving fans to think that Belair was cheated and want to see her get her revenge. Belair will face Lynch and Sasha Banks for the title at Crown Jewel next week. These two do have qu..

Karl Anderson Gets In Heated Exchanges With Fans Over WWE’s Mental Health Counseling
I don’t see this going well. WWE is a big company and has more resources than they know what to do with most of the time. The good thing is that they are able to use some of those resources in good ways at the right time. That is something they were trying to do this week, but it seems that one of the company’s former employees is not exactly seeing things the WWE way. Earlier this week, Daffney Unger passed away, sending a bit of a shock throughout the wrestling world. According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, WWE sent out a mass text to its roster, reminding them that they have mental counseling available should their wrestlers need it. Impact Wrestling’s Karl Anderson responded to Ross’ tweet, saying “they suck bro” referring to WWE. This led to several fans responding to Anderson, including bringing up Anderson being accused of cheating on his wife. Anderson insulted several of the fans by calling them marks and telling them to say these things to him in person. Anderson did pin a..

Why yes, he does still have a lot to say. Earlier this year, Big Cass was released from WWE in what was probably a bit of a surprise. He had only been been back on the active roster for a few weeks after returning from his torn ACL and just like that he was gone. Even though he’s out of the company, he’s not away from wrestling entirely and that means he has some thoughts on the business. Cass recently appeared on Booker T.’s Heated Conversations podcast and talked about his time away from the WWE. When asked about how much he still follows WWE since his released on June 19, he said that he hasn’t watched WWE whatsoever, to the point where he doesn’t even know who the current champions are.
