प्रो रेसलिंग की दुनिया में हाल ही में एक ऐसा घटनाक्रम हुआ है जिसने फैंस और विश्लेषकों को एक साथ चौंका दिया है। WWE की सबसे अनुभवी और सम्मानित महिला सुपरस्टार्स में से एक, नताल्या (Natalya), ने नेशनल रेसलिंग अलायंस (NWA) के विमेंस वर्ल्ड टाइटल के लिए मौजूदा चैंपियन Kenzie Paige को चुनौती दी है। यह चौंकाने वाली चुनौती NWA के साप्ताहिक टेलीविजन शो, Powerrr, के एक एपिसोड के दौरान सामने आई, जिसने तुरंत क्रॉस-प्रमोशनल “ड्रीम मैच” की अटकलों को जन्म दे दिया है।

अप्रत्याशित उपस्थिति :
नताल्या का NWA Powerrr में दिखना ही अपने आप में एक बड़ी खबर थी। नताल्या दशकों से WWE का एक प्रमुख चेहरा रही हैं और उन्होंने शायद ही कभी WWE के बाहर किसी अन्य प्रमुख रेसलिंग प्रोमोशन में उपस्थिति दर्ज कराई हो। उनकी एंट्री पूरी तरह से अप्रत्याशित थी और उन्होंने सीधे तौर पर NWA विमेंस डिवीजन की सबसे बड़ी स्टार, चैंपियन Kenzie Paige, का सामना करने का फैसला किया।

चुनौती का पल :
रिंग में, ‘द क्वीन ऑफ हार्ट्स’ के नाम से मशहूर नताल्या ने Kenzie Paige और NWA विमेंस वर्ल्ड टाइटल दोनों के प्रति सम्मान व्यक्त किया। उन्होंने इस चैंपियनशिप के लंबे और गौरवशाली इतिहास को स्वीकार किया, जिसे Mildred Burke, The Fabulous Moolah, Madusa, और हाल ही में Kamille जैसी महान हस्तियों ने संभाला है। नताल्या ने साफ तौर पर अपनी इच्छा जाहिर की कि वह इस प्रतिष्ठित टाइटल के लिए Kenzie Paige का सामना करना चाहती हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि वह NWA विमेंस वर्ल्ड चैंपियन बनने की महत्वाकांक्षा रखती हैं।

Kenzie Paige की प्रतिक्रिया :
मौजूदा NWA विमेंस वर्ल्ड चैंपियन Kenzie Paige ने नताल्या की चुनौती को पूरी तरह से स्वीकार किया। एक युवा और उभरती हुई स्टार के तौर पर, Kenzie Paige ने नताल्या जैसी दिग्गज का सामना करने के अवसर को तुरंत लपक लिया। उनकी प्रतिक्रिया ने दिखाया कि वह इस संभावित ब्लॉकबस्टर मुकाबले के लिए तैयार हैं और वह NWA विमेंस वर्ल्ड टाइटल की गरिमा को बनाए रखने के लिए उत्साहित हैं। दोनों रेसलर्स के बीच सम्मानजनक लेकिन तीव्र आदान-प्रदान ने इस संभावित मुकाबले को और भी दिलचस्प बना दिया है।

NWA विमेंस वर्ल्ड टाइटल का महत्व :
NWA विमेंस वर्ल्ड चैंपियनशिप सिर्फ एक टाइटल नहीं है; यह प्रो रेसलिंग इतिहास का एक जीवित टुकड़ा है। इसकी जड़ें 1930 के दशक तक जाती हैं और इसने महिला रेसलिंग के विकास में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है। नताल्या जैसी अनुभवी और प्रसिद्ध रेसलर का इस टाइटल पर दांव लगाना, इसके ऐतिहासिक महत्व को रेखांकित करता है और NWA के विमेंस डिवीजन को एक नई ऊँचाई प्रदान करता है।

नताल्या का करियर और विरासत :
Hart रेसलिंग परिवार से आने वाली नताल्या का करियर उपलब्धियों से भरा रहा है। वह WWE Divas Championship और SmackDown Women’s Championship जीत चुकी हैं और महिला Royal Rumble मैच की विजेता भी रही हैं। वह लगातार WWE के विमेंस डिवीजन का एक महत्वपूर्ण स्तंभ रही हैं। NWA विमेंस वर्ल्ड टाइटल के लिए उनकी चुनौती यह दर्शाती है कि वह अभी भी नई चुनौतियों की तलाश में हैं और अपनी शानदार विरासत में एक और ऐतिहासिक अध्याय जोड़ना चाहती हैं।

क्रॉस-प्रमोशनल संभावना :
यह चुनौती WWE और NWA के बीच संभावित क्रॉस-प्रमोशनल मैच की संभावना को खोलती है। आधुनिक रेसलिंग युग में, दो अलग-अलग प्रमुख प्रोमोशन के स्टार्स का एक-दूसरे का सामना करना दुर्लभ है, खासकर WWE जैसे बड़े प्लेटफॉर्म से। यह घटनाक्रम यह संकेत दे सकता है कि भविष्य में इस तरह के और भी सहयोग देखने को मिल सकते हैं, जो रेसलिंग फैंस के लिए बेहद रोमांचक होगा। फिलहाल यह स्पष्ट नहीं है कि यह मैच कब और किस प्लेटफॉर्म पर होगा, लेकिन इसकी संभावना मात्र से ही फैंस उत्साहित हैं।

निष्कर्ष :
नताल्या द्वारा NWA विमेंस वर्ल्ड चैंपियन Kenzie Paige को दी गई चुनौती ने प्रो रेसलिंग जगत में हलचल मचा दी है। यह संभावित मुकाबला न केवल दो प्रतिभाशाली रेसलर्स के बीच एक शानदार भिड़ंत हो सकता है, बल्कि दो ऐतिहासिक प्रोमोशन के बीच एक पुल का काम भी कर सकता है। फैंस बेसब्री से इस कहानी के आगे बढ़ने का इंतजार कर रहे हैं और उम्मीद कर रहे हैं कि यह चुनौती जल्द ही एक ऐतिहासिक टाइटल मैच का रूप ले।

Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE officials are unhappy about the drop in viewership numbers for their new Facebook Watch series, Mixed Match Challenge. Apparently “key people” in the company are already sour on the tournament.

“Mixed Match Challenge dropped greatly in viewership. Even before this week’s numbers came in, we had heard they were very unhappy about the huge drop from week one to week two and key people were already souring on it. The second show was really bad. This week’s show felt like a harmless gimmick show but there feels like no important reason to watch.”

Here is the breakdown of the numbers since it’s debut:

Episode 1: 135,600
Episode 2: 91,900
Episode 3: 62,400

As you can see by the numbers above, the show is having a downward trend. It will be interesting to see if WWE makes some changes to the show to try to garner more viewers.

Edge opens today’s show speaking about his wife, Beth Phoenix’s horrible travel day which resulted in her having to make her commentary debut on last week’s Mixed Match Challenge on just 2 hours sleep. He says everything that could have went wrong in regards to her travel did so, and she really showed a lot of strength and work ethic in order to get to the show on time and make her commentary debut.

He adds that she beat herself up over the job she did on commentary that night, but he comforted her by pointing out that getting good at commentary will be a work in process. Edge and Christian both say that they loved doing commentary, but it was incredibly difficult. There’s no doubt that it takes a long time before anyone can feel 100% comfortable behind a commentary table in WWE.

Edge and Christian welcome Batista to the show.

Batista points out that at one point in time during his WWE career there was a storyline in place for him that would have revealed him to be a “rape child”, and this was a storyline that he wasn’t happy with. He didn’t think this was one of the creative team’s finer moments, but he was still rather new in the company and didn’t want to turn anything down.

No other matches or segments have been announced for next week’s show, but we will keep you updated if anything else is announced.

It was noted over the weekend via Dave Metlzer of Wrestling Observer Radio that Jeff Hardy sustained an injury back in July at the WWE Great Balls of Fire event and has been working hurt ever since.

WWE announced today that Jeff ‘s injury will require surgery to repair a torn rotator cup. However, it’s worth noting that WWE claims that Jeff actually suffered the injury during the Six-Pack Challenge on last week’s episode of RAW. These claims by WWE are most-likely storyline related and that’s not when Jeff was hurt.

Here is an excerpt of what WWE wrote:

“Jeff Hardy has suffered a torn rotator cuff and will undergo surgery to repair it, WWE.com has learned.

The former Raw Tag Team Champion sustained the injury during a Six-Pack Challenge on last week’s Raw that was eventually won by Jason Jordan.

“Jeff is dealing with a rotator cuff tear right now,” said WWE Senior Ringside Physician Dr. Stephen Daquino. “It’s a full thickness tear of his supraspinatus tendon and a couple of other areas in the shoulder. He’s going to go for evaluation and probably for surgery next week.”

Hardy added that he also tore his labrum and that he initially thought he dislocated his shoulder during the match.

“Once they get in there, they’ll figure out more about what they have to repair,” said Hardy. “But for sure, the rotator cuff has to be repaired, and then they’ll look at the labrum when they get in there.”

Hardy also revealed he would undergo the procedure next Tuesday, Oct. 3.

“It’s depressing,” Hardy told WWE.com. “More than any time in a career, it’s those times that make you go, ‘Wow, I love professional wrestling.’ It sucks that I can’t be involved in [a] match or can’t get in there and do what I normally do because I’m injured, but I just have to get over that, stop worrying about it and look forward and push myself to get repaired and healed and come back better than ever with a brand-new shoulder.”

However, as the road to recovery looms, Hardy would not rule out the possibility that the WWE Universe would see him on TV in a different capacity while he heals.

“There’s a lot of crazy ideas,” said Hardy. “It inspires me to think a lot more about what I can do other than the extreme stunts and still be entertaining.”

Stay tuned to WWE.com as more details become available on Jeff’s condition”

Things are falling into place heading into Survivor Series. Despite the event being two months away, several storylines are already shaping up. After a strong showing around this time last year, expectations are surely high for the last stretch of the year.

There’s clearly a lot to look forward to in the next few months. Jinder Mahal is bound to lose the title eventually. A Hell in a Cell match between him and Shinsuke Nakamura is the most likely direction his reign is headed. Elsewhere, Randy Orton and Rusev are going to lock horns a few more times. Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable are probably going to dethrone the Usos. Sasha Banks is now the Women’s Champion.

With all this excitement in mind, here are four storylines we’ve got to keep our eyes on.

The AJ Styles US Open Challenge

This is great for several reasons. It brings attention to a previously forgotten title, and it also puts AJ Styles on our screens. In recent memory, the United States Championship has been given to talented wrestlers, but their runs with it were wasted (think Kalisto the pre-show champion, or Roman “defend it against the same two guys for three months” Reigns).

Styles has given the title a new purpose with his Open Challenge. The stipulation also means that anyone can challenge for the title. Overlooked members of the roster such as Sin Cara, Luke Harper, Tyler Breeze, Tye Dillinger, Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan, Aiden English, Mike Kannelis, and James Ellsworth can all challenge Styles. Think of all the fresh and exciting match-ups we’ll be able to see. We’re about to see some more great matches on Smackdown, no doubt about it.
