WATCH: Huge Beatdown On Monday Night Raw, Popular Star Taken Out On Stretcher

December 6, 2022

It might be a bit. There are a lot of reasons to write a wrestler off of television, whether it is for the long term or the short term. Sometimes it might be done as a way to freshen someone up or as a way to boost up another wrestler for taking out their rival. It can lead to quite the return later on and now it seems that WWE has done both of those things at the same time. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Ouch: Drew McIntyre Dealing With Medical Issue, Upcoming Title Match Changed This week’s Monday Night Raw featured Matt Riddle and Kevin Owens unsuccessfully challenging the Usos for the Tag Team Titles. Following the match, Solo Sikoa attacked Riddle, including hitting him with a Samoan Spike and a running hip attack in the corner. Sikoa then gave Riddle another running hip attack with a chair around Riddle’s neck. As a result, Riddle was taken out on a stretcher. There is no word on how long he could be out of action. It was a busy night. Check out the setup, the match and the attack aft..

Viper Memories: Randy Orton Posts Tribute To Umaga And Rosey

November 19, 2022

That’s a special tribute. There have been a lot of wrestlers to come and go throughout the years and unfortunately some of them are no longer here. That could be due to a variety of reasons but so many of them have left before they should have. Other wrestlers will remember them quite fondly and that is what Randy Orton is doing with a departed former WWE star. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Bianca Belair Has Her Eye On Very Specific Film Role Earlier this week, a fan posted a photo to Twitter showing presumable himself posing with Randy Orton and Umaga. Orton responded, thanking the fan for posting the picture and saying we are coming up on the anniversary of Umaga’s passing. He called Umaga the “OG head of the table” and also mentioned Matty Anoa’i (Rosey). Orton also said “So many memories. Too many brothers lost”. Umaga passed away on December 4, 2009 at 36. I’m very happy you posted this pic. I’ll save it. Anniversary is coming up where we lost the Samoan Bulldozer. I wish I was..

SmackDown Results – September 30, 2022

October 1, 2022

Smackdown Date: September 30, 2022 Location: Canada Life Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Commentators: Corey Graves, Michael Cole We are eight days away from Extreme Rules and the card is mostly set. There are enough matches ready to go for the show but it wouldn’t surprise me to see a little more added this week. That isn’t a bad thing as there is no major match just yet, but that leaves some ground to be covered. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Madcap Moss/Ricochet vs. Solo Sikoa/Sami Zayn Ricochet headscissors Sami down to start and snaps off a dropkick as Graves compares the Bloodline to the family on House of the Dragons. Moss and Sikoa come in with the former getting taken down into the corner for a stomping. It’s back to Zayn and everything breaks down, with the villains being sent outside. Moss LAUNCHES Ricochet over the top and onto the both of them as we take a break. Back with Ricochet fighting out of a nerve hold but getting Samoan dropped for two. Another Samoan ..

Impact Wrestling Date: September 22, 2022 Location: The Factory, Dallas, Texas Commentators: Tom Hannifan, Matthew Rehwoldt It’s the go home show for Victory Road, which means we are about a month away from Bound For Glory. Victory Road is being treated as a pretty big deal so it would make sense to have a good go home show. This week does feature a pretty big showdown with Aussie Open vs. the Motor City Machine Guns. Let’s get to it. Opening recap. Digital Media Title: Bhupinder Gujjar vs. Brian Myers Myers is defending in a ladder match. Gujjar slugs away to start and hits a jumping knee to the face. A Samoan drop looks to set up the Gargoyle spear but Myers knees him out of the way. The first ladder is brought in but Gujjar dropkicks it into his face. Myers knocks him outside though and goes up for the title, only to be pulled down into a cutter. Now the Gargoyle spear can send Myers into the ladder but the climb takes too long, as usual. The ladder is knocked into Gujjar and it..

September 24, 2022

Smackdown Date: September 23, 2022 Location: Vivint Arena, Salt Lake City, Utah Commentators: Corey Graves, Michael Cole We are just a few weeks away from Extreme Rules but WWE is already focusing on Crown Jewel a month later. The big story is that Roman Reigns will be defending against Logan Paul in Saudi Arabia in November, which could open up more than a few interesting situations. Let’s get to it. Here is the full Bloodline for a rather slow motion entrance. Roman Reigns eventually allows the crowd to acknowledge him before Paul Heyman can’t figure out what to call people from Utah. Eventually he settles on Salt Lake Cidiots before talking about how Reigns has run over everyone. This includes Drew McIntyre, who now has another bridge to Kross. As for Solo Sikoa, he isn’t the idea of Heyman, Reigns, or anyone else (seemingly a nod at Sami Zayn) but rather being sent by the Samoan dynasty. Sikoa is the enforcer who leaves the Usos to pursue greatness. The Usos are ready to retain ..

Ring Of Honor Date: March 16, 2022 Things are getting a bit more interesting, or at least a bit more intriguing, around here as we get to find out what they are throwing out there next. The relaunch is in a few weeks but there are still some shows to fill in. Thankfully that has included opening the video vault and there is some great stuff in there. Let’s get to it.

Dragon Kid/Genki Horiguchi/Ryo Saito vs. Cima/Narkui Doi/Masato Yoshino Yoshino works on Horiguchi’s arm to start and they trade armdrags into a standoff. Doi comes in to face Kid (via tags, though they aren’t required here) for a fast standoff so it’s off to Cima vs. Horiguchi.

WWE Legend Signs New Contract With The Company

February 10, 2022

Welcome home. There are a lot of wrestlers throughout the history of the industry, but some of their names stand out over the others. That is certainly the case with some wrestling families, as certain families carry a lot of weight in the wrestling world. Sometimes you might not have known about them during their time in the ring, but the truth comes out later. Now things are coming a bit more full circle. According to the Daily Item (Sunbury, Pennsylvania), WWE Hall of Famer Samu has signed a new “nostalgia” contract with WWE. While not confirmed, this appears to be a Legends deal, meaning that WWE will produce Samu merchandise and have Samu make various appearances. Samu is part of the Anoa’i Family, best known for his time as part of the Wild Samoans. He is also the father of Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Opinion: This is something rather cool for Samu, who is indeed a legend in WWE’s history. He and Afa were one of the more dominant tag teams the company has ever had and it i..

WATCH: Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe From WWE Backlash 2018

July 27, 2021

When heavyweights collide. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel in which they show the full match between Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe from WWE Backlash 2018. You can see the match in its entirety below: [This post contains video, click to play] From WWE.com: Joe ambushed Reigns before the bell and sent him crashing through the Spanish announce table with a Uranage, kicking off a strategy that began with Reigns trapped in holds that targeted his shoulders for minutes on end and culminated in a series of Coquina Clutch attempts that The Big Dog narrowly managed to avoid. Joe’s strategy was as rudimentary as it was effective. Even when Reigns landed a thunderous Spear, Joe was close enough to the ropes to stop the pinfall, and The Samoan Submission Machine only turned up the heat when he felt it was time to lock in his near-ironclad submission hold. When Joe finally applied the Clutch, grapevine legs and all, Reigns seemed to be drifting into unconsciousness before he ro..

WATCH: Seth Rollins vs. Samoa Joe From Payback 2017

August 30, 2020

You want fast and furious action? Look no further. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel in which they show the full match between Seth Rollins and Samoa Joe from Payback 2017. You can see the video in its entirety below: From WWE.com: The Kingslayer started the match with a fast-and-furious attack, taking every risk to knock down Joe. But his formidable opponent only needed one shot at Rollins’ knee to turn the showdown 180-degrees. From there, the bout became an exercise in punishment, as Joe twisted and smashed Rollins’ ailing knee just like a lion would toy with a gazelle. The damage lingered with Rollins for the rest of the match, as every move of offense or defense resulted in him writhing in pain. The Kingslayer fought through the agony, though, flying halfway across the ring for a crushing Frog Splash. The hard-hitting Samoan tried to suck the life out of Rollins with a sleeper hold and looked for one more maneuver to finish him off, but The Kingslayer suddenl..

Samoa Joe Officially Shows Up On Monday Night Raw

April 23, 2019

It had been previously rumored that Samoa Joe would be leaving Smackdown Live and bringing the United States Championship with him to Raw. This is due to the fact that Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor was drafted to the blue brand in the 2019 Superstar Shakeup. This rumor proved to be true, as the Samoan Submission Machine officially made his debut on Raw during the first segment of tonight’s show. Check out a clip from his match below: [This post contains video, click to play] Joe would compete against Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles in a Triple Threat match, with the winner earning the right to face Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship at Money In The Bank 2019. He would lose that match, however, and Styles would eventually go on to become the new No. 1 contender for Rollins’ championship. Editor’s Opinion: No surprises here, as both shows need a mid-card champion. That being said, there is potential for some great feuds for the United States championship. I can’t wait...

Rumor: The Rock’s Daughter Training To Become A Wrestler

September 12, 2018

Keeping it in the family. There are various wrestling families who are just bigger deals than others. There are the Harts, the Andersons, the Windhams and a variety of others, but one of the biggest and most active is the Anoa’i family. The family includes names such as the Wild Samoans, the Usos, Nia Jax and of course the Rock. They’ve been wrestlers for generations now, and there may be a new generation coming in. According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, the Rock’s daughter Simone Johnson has been training at the WWE Performance Center in recent months for a potential in-ring career. Since Johnson is only seventeen years old, the training can only be on a part time basis until she turns eighteen next August. There is no word on whether or not WWE would be interested in signing her to a contract. She does have a good teacher.

Roman Reigns Has Talked To The Usos About Forming A Team

Roman Reigns thinks teaming with the Usos would be cool. In an interview with Give Me Sport, Roman Reigns spoke about his cousins Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso. He said the Usos asked for more responsibility from WWE after feeling left behind and disrespected. He was also asked about teaming up with the Usos. "I’ve been around my cousins a long time. And for a while, we’ve been waiting for that. And I’ve had a lot of talks with them," said Reigns. Even though his cousins were able to ask the WWE for a bigger role and changed their characters, Reigns said he wanted to do things his way. But he admitted it would be cool to represent his family with the Usos. “And I’m excited not only to see where they go but also where I go. You never know, the story is there, it's easy.

One is a Samoan named Joe. In less than three weeks, Roman Reigns faces one of the biggest challenges of his life as he meets Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at “Wrestlemania XXXIV”.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results – July 3 2017

July 3, 2017

Welcome to the final edition of Monday Night Raw before Sunday’s Great Balls of Fire PPV!Tonight’s show is anchored by the return of Brock Lesnar, who will defend his Universal Championship for the first time since WrestleMania on Sunday. Lesnar has had to sit back and watch as <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/samoa-joe" title="Samoa Joe">Samoa Joe</a> took centre stage for this feud and even attacked his advocate Paul Heyman. So Lesnar decided to pay Joe a visit and was promptly choked down by the Samoan Bulldozer! One week from the huge showdown, Lesnar will definitely want to regain some momentum, meanwhile Samoa Joe is on the roll of a lifetime and fans are hungry for more!Speaking of being hungry and never satisfied, Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns will also have a gargantuan showdown at Great Balls of Fire – which ironically might be the best card for a terribly named PPV ever. The two big canines will fight for ownership of the back yard in an Ambulance Match and I would be shocked if we didn’t see said ambulance come into play one more time this week, seeing as Braun threw Roman into it last week and sent him packing. Fans will hope to see more of the same this week.Last week’s main event saw <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/sasha-banks" title="Sasha Banks">Sasha Banks</a> defeat the seemingly unstoppable Nia Jax, who had already bested <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/emma" title="Emma">Emma</a>, Mickie James, Dana Brooke, and Bayley, in a Gauntlet Match to become number one contender. Banks’ win was pretty surprising but sets-up an exciting showdown at Great Balls of Fire. The Champion Alexa Bliss came to the ring after the match and shoved her title in Banks’ face but was promptly met with a dropkick to her own dentures! Expect more fireworks tonight ahead of the 4th of July!Elsewhere on tonight’s show, Enzo Amore was ceremoniously dumped by Big Cass for the second week in a row and it seems inevitable that these two will have a showdown on Sunday night. The match hasn’t yet been announced but surely tonight is the night. And then there’s Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt who’ve done more talking in the past three weeks than Undertaker did in over 30 years, so hopefully we get something more substantial tonight.All that and more to look forward to on tonight’s show.

Samoa Joe Should Be The Next Universal Champion

June 10, 2017

Mr. Brock “The ‘Conqueror’ Beast” Lesnar will finally defend his Universal Championship at the aptly named Great Balls of Fire. His opponent is none other than Mr. Samoa “Samoan Submission ‘Destroyer’ Specialist” Joe. This has all the potential in the world to be a great match if WWE actually decides to book a proper match. It should be a hard-fought battle, but many feel that he is a placeholder contender until the proper Samoan can win the title. We still don’t know what WWE’s plans are, but hopefully, they crown the Destroyer in July. The Samoan Submission Specialist would be a great Universal Champion, and here’s why.<h4>He’d Actually Be There Most of the Time</h4>We can’t really fault Lesnar for wanting to work 10 times a year and get paid millions for it. He took Mr. Perfect’s advice to refrain from making wrestling his whole life. Good for him. I can respect that.However, when Lesnar has the championship and disappears for months on end to go kill a wolf with his bare hands, it can leave Raw feeling a bit barren. Obviously, when he does show up, it’s a big deal, which adds to his star power (and to an extent, the star power of the belt).If <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/samoa-joe" title="Samoa Joe">Samoa Joe</a> had the title, we’d be seeing it a bit more often, what with the fact that Joe is actually a full-time Superstar. There are two groups of people when it comes to top championships. Some people prefer frequent defenses, while others want to save those for big occasions. Both are right, but there’s a fine line in between them. It’s been 69 days since the title was defended, and it hasn’t been successfully defended at all in almost 100 days. That’s kind of bad.With the Destroyer holding the championship, we’d see it defended a bit more frequently, which could help boost the stock of the belt.<h4>He Could Have Great Matches With the Rest of the Roster</h4>Brock is an incredible wrestler, there’s no doubt about that. So is Joe. The problem is that ever since Lesnar defeated John Cena at Summerslam, his matches have since devolved into suplex spam. It’s like when you first learn to play Mortal Kombat and all you do is press one button and try to win. The difference is, Brock Lesnar actually wins. So there’s that.Joe’ first/last feud with Seth Rollins sucked a whole lot, but that was because of the story. The matches were fine. There was just no real reason for the Destroyer to fight the Kingslayer other than “hurr durr Stephanie fell through a table, I’m gonna kick your ass”. Rollins defeated <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/triple-h" title="Triple H">Triple H</a>; that should have been the end of his story with Joe.If the Samoan Submission Specialist got his hands on the Universal Championship, then he could put on great matches with the other big names on Raw. I wouldn’t mind seeing Rollins v. Joe again. I wouldn’t even mind seeing Balor v. Joe again. Heck, let’s put the two Samoans in one match and have them beat the hell out of each other for the Universal Championship.<h4>It Will Boost the Championship’s Image</h4>We are all aware of the Universal Championship’s lineage. <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/finn-balor" title="Finn Balor">Finn Balor</a> was the inaugural champion and vacated the title the very next day. Kevin Owens held the title after and sucked more than a black hole during his reign. Goldberg won the belt in 30 seconds and dropped it in 28 days, and now Lesnar has the title. How many truly great Universal Championship matches can you count? Maybe 4 or 5. How many truly great WWE Championship matches can you count? Way more. Heck, even the World Heavyweight Championship (RIP) had more great matches. Randy Orton v. Christian at Over the Limit, Randy Orton v. Christian at Capitol Punishment, Randy Orton v. Christian at Money in the Bank, Randy Orton v. Christian at Summerslam, etc.The Universal Championship hasn’t even been around for a year, so obviously, there have been less memorable matches. With Samoa Joe as champion, those matches can start happening. The Destroyer locking horns with the Demon, the Big Dog, or even the Eater of Worlds over the Universal Championship would be a sight to see.Of course, none of this will come to pass because Lesnar is keeping the belt warm for the Big Dog. Beleedat.

WWE Monday Night Raw Results – June 5 2017

June 6, 2017

Welcome to another exciting edition of Monday Night Raw!<a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/samoa-joe" title="Samoa Joe">Samoa Joe</a> 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 <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/the-miz" title="The Miz">The Miz</a> 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 <a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/elias-samson" title="Elias Samson">Elias Samson</a> 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!
