Highlights:
• यह उद्धरण यह बढ़ती हुई धारणा को उजागर करता है कि WWE का शीर्ष क्रिएटिव दिमाग केवल स्टोरीलाइनों का निरीक्षण नहीं कर रहा है।
• ट्रिपल एच वर्तमान में WWE के चीफ कंटेंट ऑफिसर हैं।

2 मई 2025 को WWE के आश्चर्यजनक टैलेंट कट्स की लहर के बाद, जिसमें ब्रॉन स्ट्रोमैन, शायना बैज़लर, डकोटा काई और अन्य हाई-प्रोफाइल नामों की विदाई हुई, सवाल उठने लगे हैं कि नए TKO ग्रुप होल्डिंग्स के तहत रोस्टर के फैसले लेने की असली ताकत किसके पास है।

प्रारंभिक अटकलों ने कॉर्पोरेट नेतृत्व की ओर इशारा किया था, लेकिन नए इनसाइडर रिपोर्ट्स से पता चलता है कि इन कठिन फैसलों को लेने वाला व्यक्ति WWE के चीफ कंटेंट ऑफिसर, पॉल “ट्रिपल एच” लेवेस्के के अलावा कोई और नहीं है।

अगर वह उन्हें वहां रखना चाहते हैं, तो वे रहेंगे’: ट्रिपल एच की रिपोर्टेड अधिकारिता
हाल ही में एक Fightful लाइवस्ट्रीम के दौरान, इनसाइडर शॉन रॉस सैप ने सीधे तौर पर ट्रिपल एच की भूमिका पर बात की, जो तय करते हैं कि कौन से रेसलर्स कंपनी में रहते हैं। सैप ने कोई शब्दों का मोल नहीं किया।

वास्तविक WWE उत्पाद, रोस्टर, टैलेंट अधिग्रहण और अन्य प्रमोशन्स के साथ व्यापारिक लेन-देन, ये सभी ट्रिपल एच के क्षेत्राधिकार में हैं…

जो लोग केवल TKO को दोषी ठहराते हैं और रिलीज़ पर गुस्सा होने पर यह दिखाने की कोशिश करते हैं कि ट्रिपल एच का इससे कोई लेना-देना नहीं है, उन्हें वास्तविकता का सामना करना चाहिए। एरी इमैनुएल शायद WWE के पूरे रोस्टर में 15-20 से ज्यादा टैलेंट्स के नाम नहीं ले पाएं।

Garcia is joined on today’s show by Nia Jax.

Jax speaks about her relationship with her cousin, The Rock. She says that Rock really is a dork, and he is truly himself at all times. She thinks that’s why he’s had so much success in Hollywood, because realness translates to people. Garcia agrees entirely and says that she had so much fun working with Rock over the years. Their backstage interview segments during the attitude era will go down as some of the most entertaining segments of all time.

Jax mentions that watching The Rock wrestle at ringside at WrestleMania 28 was what really inspired her to start a career in professional wrestling. Initially she didn’t want Rock to know that she wanted to start training, but he soon caught wind of it and got her a tryout with WWE. He pointed out that professional wrestling is a tough business, and the only way to know if you’re cut out for it is to have a tryout in WWE.

As soon as she stepped into the ring and started to roll around she fell in love with it instantly. Other than head trainer, Bill DeMott, she didn’t tell anyone that she was related to Rock because she wanted to earn her opportunities based on her merits, not because she was related to Rock.

Jax adds that Tamina Snuka has had a great influence on her, and even though they’re on separate brands Tamina has still kept in touch. They both hope to meet in the ring someday, perhaps at WrestleMania, where they can show the world what they can do. She says it was great to get a taste of that when they met at Survivor Series, and she was thrilled with the crowd’s reaction to that.

During the WWE Live Event in Lima Peru, the crowd broke into a “Lana” chant during Rusev’s match. This prompted Aiden English to grab a microphone and tell that crowd that he’s the “new Lana,” before he got them fired up by saying, “It’s RUSEV day!”

WWE posted a Fallout video of Lana updating Tamina’s look as her Ravishing Journey to the SmackDown Women’s Title continues. Naomi apparently wasn’t happy with Lana trying to change Tamina and the two ended up having an exchange on Twitter.

The post Lana & Naomi Have Heated Twitter Exchange Over Tamina appeared first on Wrestling News & WWE News, Rumors & Spoilers.

While speaking to Al Arabiya English, Lana explained why she’s no longer managing Rusev.

“One of the reasons why I don’t feel like I need to manage him right now is I feel like I’ve taught him everything I need to teach him, and helped him, and everything, and that’s why I have to go use my amazing ravishing ambition with other women to help bring them to the top,” Lana said.

“I think I had to help give him the ravishing ambition, and then. …Yeah, it’s more about promos. I think in wrestling and competing, he’s the best. With promos, I have to – we have to – I have to coach him. We have to go through, and I have to say, ‘Ok, let’s go through it like seven more times.’ Because when you have a conversation, and you talk, then when you yell and scream, it means more. And people listen.”

“Well, he [Rusev] really wanted me to stay home and take care of him, and cook clean and listen, and bake some salmon, and massage his feet, and comb his hair. That’s really what he wanted me to do. But just like I helped take him to the top. And look— I obviously love being with him, but at this time, I want to make sure that I make a name for myself in the women’s division. And when managing a man, unfortunately, even though I took him to the top, and I’m cutting promos with the Rock and John Cena, when they talk about the women’s revolution, my name isn’t heard anywhere. If I have to enter into the ring to fight and to compete and bring Tamina, or any other women to the top to establish my name, then that’s what I have to do.”

John Cena’s Move To RAW

As we all saw Monday night, John Cena has returned to WWE’s flagship show after being drafted to SmackDown Live last year. It appears that Cena, who was classified as a free agent who would work both brands for a hot minute, will now be exclusive to RAW.

It’s being reported now that Cena’s move to RAW was for one simple reason: Roman Reigns. Apparently, Vince McMahon has his eye on Cena being used to elevate and give the rub to Reigns. It doesn’t seem to be so much about Cena himself drawing ratings for the show, but who Cena will draw ratings with.

We saw on this week’s RAW that WWE is already laying the groundwork for a Cena/Reigns “dream match”, so it looks like it’s just a matter of time before we see these two go head to head. I doubt it will do much to get Reigns over with the fans, but Vince McMahon seems hellbent on having Roman succeed Cena as the face of the company.

Lana & Rusev Leaving WWE?

A rumor is floating around that Rusev has asked for his and Lana’s release from WWE. Now, take this with a grain of salt, but it’s being reported that Rusev is frustrated with his positioning in the company, as well as that of his wife, and had a big old blow up with creative over it, finally asking for his release.

In this same report, it’s being said that Rusev’s request was denied and that WWE will have him work out the rest of his contract and just book him poorly on television for the foreseeable future.

Lana did address this rumor via Twitter earlier today:

That's called don't believe the pathetic villagers that pretend that they are "journalist" with real facts… hahahahah!!!! https://t.co/EfaoxRsdhJ

— CJ (Lana) Perry (@LanaWWE) August 23, 2017

Like I said, take this with a grain of salt. But, Rusev does seem to be getting the shaft, and he’s too good for the role he is playing right now on the blue brand.

NXT Superstar Liv Morgan worked Saturday’s SmackDown Live Event in Tampa, Florida. She teamed with Naomi and Becky Lynch and defeated Carmella, Lana and Tamina.

Flair Exposes Toronto

During last night’s SmackDown Live, Charlotte Flair and Lana competed in a singles match that included a surprise for one section of the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. While Lana tried a sunset flip, Flair’s shorts slightly slipped, which provided a different kind of show for the Toronto crowd. The mistake generated “Thank you, Lana” chants.

Through Becky Lynch’s Twitter, the Irish lass hosted a “What’s The Tea” segment with Flair briefly referencing on the wardrobe botch.

” I just wanted to give Toronto a good show.”

Lana’s Rule For Fans

It was a rough night for SmackDown Live’s Lana last night. She teamed with Tamina in a losing effort against Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, and the Richmond, West Virginia, crowd were heard chanting “You Can’t Wrestle” to the Ravishing Russian. In a series of tweets last night, she did delete one that originally stated:

“Come at me with your ignorant pathetic villager tweets & I’ll CRUSH your pathetic soul! WIN or LOSE I AM STILL RAVISHING!”

The other tweets she has yet to delete called fans “cowards” who hide behind their iPhones and tweet negativity towards her. She said these are the same people who would still ask her for an autograph or picture. Likely sticking to kayfabe, Lana says she will no longer abide to fans’ requests.

You cowards that hide behind your iPhone & tweet how I'm not good. You'll NEVER become the Ravishing STAR that I am. Keep talking about me

— CJ (Lana) Perry (@LanaWWE) July 26, 2017

The same people that are bashing me are the same people begging for autographs & pictures so NO MORE pictures or signing autographs

Carmella on New “Total Divas” Season

The new upcoming season of E!’s Total Divas will feature three new female superstars: Nia Jax, Alexa Bliss, and Carmella. To promote the new season, Carmella chatted with Muscle and Fitness: Hers about the new opportunities in the WWE including Total Divas. Speaking about hanging out more with fellow SmackDown Live superstars Natalya and Naomi, Carmella said,

“I mean, we’re actually always all together on the road, so you know it wouldn’t hurt to just add a camera in front of us. I’m excited because I think this is such an amazing time for the women in the WWE and female wrestlers in general. There’s so much going on in women’s wrestling right now, and I was just excited to kind of show what we do and what we’re all about and I know that Total Divas is about six seasons now and there’s Total Bellas and everything. So I’m excited to kind of share, you know, my story and what I am all about here in the WWE.”

“It’s definitely not something I’m used to. Being a WWE superstar, I mean…there’s a difference between Carmella on Smackdown Live and Carmella in real life. But, I mean I guess that is what you sign up for when doing a reality show. So, you know, one of the struggles I’m facing this season is a real-life struggle, with my boyfriend Big Cass, who’s on Raw, and I’m on Smackdown. So, you know, we see each other one day a week if we’re lucky. Sometimes we have to go a few weeks without seeing each other, sometimes we’re traveling on different, separate tours, to different countries. But, I mean, it is what it is, so there’s nothing we can do about it, we make do and we make the most of our time together that we do get. So again that is something that we struggle with, and I’m excited because I think you can kind of get to know us because we’ve been very private with our relationship, a lot of people don’t realize we’ve been together for almost four years. So, I’m excited for people to kind of get to know us and see, you know, what we’re all about.”

The start date for Total Divas hasn’t been announced, but it will air this fall. While Carmella, Bliss, and Jax enter the next season, fans will no longer see Eva Marie, Paige and Renee Young as main characters on the E! program.

Welcome to the 4th of July edition of SmackDown Live, in which an American hero returns to WWE: John Cena!

The 16-time WWE World Champion makes his grand return to WWE for the first time since WrestleMania, the big difference now is that Cena is a free agent. Which is essentially an excuse for him to work both Raw and SmackDown, which I would have been mad about a few years ago, but now Cena’s career is winding down I have no complaints with him working programs with as many people as possible! Who does Cena jump into a feud with in the near future? It seems inevitable that he will work with Jinder Mahal but he’s tied-up with Orton until after Battleground, so that leaves the window open for big match John to have a quick win to give him some momentum and an excuse to challenge for the title. So maybe the likes of Dolph Ziggler will step-up for a month. We should know by the end of tonight!

Elsewhere on tonight’s show, we will get a huge 4th of July Battle Royale to determine the number one contender to Kevin Owens’ US Championship. It’s unclear who will partake in the match but we do know AJ Styles is a participant and the most likely to win since he’s been gunning for a rematch with Owens after losing at WWE Backlash. I would also expect Sami Zayn, Luke Harper and Baron Corbin to take part in the multi-man match, with Owens watching from ringside. Heck, maybe even Cena will throw his hat in the ring!

Naomi and Lana seem set to lock horns again, probably at Battleground, as Lana made the legitimate claim that her shoulder wasn’t on the mat. So I would expect Lana to come out tonight and make that claim to the entire WWE Universe, as well as her request for a third shot at the title. Meanwhile The New Day and The Uso’s will partake in a rap battle tonight, with famous rapper Wale set to host the contest.  The Uso’s have been fantastic since turning heel and winning the titles, particularly in all of their Talking Smack promo’s, so tonight’s segment should be entertaining if nothing else!

All that and more to come on tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live! Let us know your thoughts in the comments or on our awesome Ringside Talk app, as well as the Ringside News app, where you can find all this wrasslin’ goodness on the go! Enjoy the show!
