  • Triple H Touts The Success Of WWE SummerSlam, Calls It A Team Effort

    Triple H Touts The Success Of WWE SummerSlam, Calls It A Team Effort

    This past weekend WWE invaded the Nissan Stadium in Nashville Tennessee for their annual SummerSlam extravaganza.

    The event, which is one of the biggest shows of the year in the wrestling industry, already had a lot of buzz as it was the first premium live event in WWE history that was not run by Vince McMahon following the former Chairman’s unexpected retirement a few weeks ago.

    The new head of creative, WWE legend and multi-time world champion Triple H, issued a short statement this morning on his personal Twitter account shouting out the success of SummerSlam and thanking the WWE Universe for kickstarting his era with a bang.

    He adds that the weekend was a wonderful demonstration of teamwork across the board before making a special mention for those who participated in the company’s tryouts.

    SummerSlam saw Roman Reigns retain the Undisputed Universal championship in the main event against Brock Lesnar, The Usos retain the tag team titles over the Street Profits, Bianca Belair retain the Raw women’s championship over Becky Lynch, and Liv Morgan retain the SmackDown women’s championship over Ronda Rousey.

    On top of the title matches the WWE Universe saw the return of Bayley, who formed a new faction with Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky.

  • Logan Paul Not Interested in Winning Over WWE Fans

    Logan Paul Not Interested in Winning Over WWE Fans

    Logan Paul has made some serious waves within WWE already.

    Paul has had just two matches but it’s become quite clear that the social media star is a natural. In his first match at WrestleMania 38 back in April, he teamed with The Miz to take on Rey and Dominik Mysterio.

    In that match, Paul was praised for his heel character work and his awareness, mocking Rey Mysterio with Eddie Guerrero’s Three Amigos and Frog Splash moves.

    His second match was an even bigger challenge as he went one-on-one with The Miz. In the first singles match of his young pro wrestling career, Paul shined again.

    Logan hit a moonsault from the ring apron to the floor, a Blockbuster, a springboard forearm, and more. Paul’s biggest spot was hitting a Frog Splash from the top turnbuckle onto the announce table.

    Paul got the win with the Skull Crushing Finale and thanks to his impressive performance, he ended up receiving a big babyface pop.

    Logan Paul Doesn’t Care About Cheers or Boos

    (via WWE)

    Logan Paul is a babyface on the WWE roster but many feel he has been miscast since the WWE audience tends to dislike him. During an interview with DailyDDT, Paul said that he doesn’t care if he gets cheers or boos.

    “I gotta do this sh*t, for real, for a very long time,” he said about how he can win over the audience. “I don’t think a win will change their mind on anything… The WWE fans are unpredictable. I get booed sometimes and I get cheered sometimes. I’ll be talking on the mic and I’ll hear someone hurl a derogatory insult at me. I make a joke and he laughs and says, ‘Ah, he is funny.’ So, I don’t know, but it’s like a tornado out there and I’m in the middle of it.

    “I don’t care [about being booed or cheered.] I don’t care, man. I’ve been loved. I’ve been hated. I’m completely indifferent to both. As long as there is a reaction, and trust me, there will be a reaction, we’re good.”

    Logan Paul on WWE fan reaction

    “I’m unbothered,” he said about the reactions. “I don’t care. I’m here to prove myself right more than anyone telling me what I can and can’t do and I’ve done it time and time and time again. If you look at my track record, my whole life is a series of me doing stuff people telling me I can and can not do or will not do and this is just another one of those things. Like I said, just time in that ring.

    “Months, years, decades. God willing, who knows what happens with this sport. That’s where the real respect is. There’s a reason why Roman Reigns, John Cena, Stone Cold and guys like that get the respect they get. It’s because they’ve dedicated their lives to a certain craft, and while I’m totally willing to do that, this is only match number two.

    “I can’t focus on whether I’m loved or hated right now and focus on doing the best I absolutely can and putting on a killer performance.”

  • Bryan Danielson On What Vince McMahon Thinks About His Vegan Lifestyle

    Bryan Danielson On What Vince McMahon Thinks About His Vegan Lifestyle

    Bryan Danielson is a known supporter of the vegan life. He adopted the lifestyle in 2009 and has stuck with it since then. It appears the former world champion has even managed to change the mind of Vince McMahon regarding it.

    The AEW star was part of the Starrcast V. He spoke to media during the convention. When asked about his conversation with Vince McMahon regarding veganism, Bryan told a funny story of how the boss reacted to it at first:

    “It’s interesting because I remember Chris [Jericho] telling me. When I first had that NXT match with Chris. He came to the back, and he says [to Vince McMahon] ‘You got something with this kid.’ [Vince replied] ugh, he doesn’t even eat meat’”

    There’s something to It

    Though Bryan Danielson revealed that things have changed since then. According to him, McMahon has started accepting the benefits of veganism in recent years, even if he doesn’t believe in going full vegan:

    “But the conversations I’ve had with him in the last several years, He’s said there’s something to that for health and for longevity, for that sort of thing. I don’t think that he’s a believer that you should be entirely vegan, but I think he believes now that there are a lot of health benefits to doing it. Especially if you’re doing it purposefully on specific days or whatever.”

    Dana Warrior Out of WWE’s Creative Department

    Over the past month, WWE has undergone several changes behind the scenes.

    Vince McMahon is now retired, having made his announcement on Friday, July 22, a month after stepping down as WWE’s CEO and Chairman.

    Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan are now serving as the co-CEOs of WWE, while Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque has replaced Vince McMahon as WWE’s head of creative.

    Dana’s Departure

    A lot has changed behind the scenes as of late, including a departure from WWE’s creative team.

    According to a report from PW Insider, Dana Warrior is no longer working as part of the promotion’s creative department.

    While she is reported to have been backstage at last weekend’s Summerslam Premium Live Event, it’s noted that she was not working behind the scenes.

    Warrior, the widow of WWE Hall of Famer the Ultimate Warrior, is said to have left the role months ago.

    Prior to her departure from WWE’s creative team, she had been working remotely from home and had not attended any of the weekly TV tapings in quite some time.

    Warrior joined WWE’s creative department in 2019, five years after joining the promotion as a community ambassador following her husband’s death in April 2014.

    Still with the Company

    Dana Warrior is gone from WWE’s creative department, but she remains a part of the company.

    Warrior is continuing to work as part of WWE’s Community Relations team and plays a significant role in the promotion’s community outreach program.

    She is also involved with the Warrior Award ceremony yearly at the WWE Hall Of Fame during WrestleMania weekend.

    Becky Lynch Hints At Major Character Change After SummerSlam

    The Man is back!

    Becky Lynch had abandoned the moniker that helped her become the most over wrestler in WWE when she turned heel after her SummerSlam return last year.

    The former Women’s Champion had defeated Bianca Belair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship in a quick manner, angering a lot of fans.

    She completely changed her look after this victory and started promoting herself as Big Time Becks. A full year after that, Becky faced Bianca once against at SummerSlam, this time for the Raw women’s championship.

    The former champion put over the EST this time around. After the match, she showed respect to her opponent and shook her hand.

    Becky Lynch’s Future

    Becky Lynch

    Bayley made her return after this with Dakota Kai and Io Shirai. This group tried to intimidate Belair but Becky Lynch stood by Bianca’s side, cementing her face turn.

    The WWE star then cleared any doubts about her future on Twitter. She changed her handle to The Man, hinting at the return of the beloved character:

    The Man

    Though latest reports suggest that Lynch may have suffered an injury in her match against Bianca Belair. If this is true then we may have to wait some more to see The Man’s comeback on WWE TV.

  • Seth Rollins Responds To Comments About His Behavior In NXT

    Seth Rollins Responds To Comments About His Behavior In NXT

    Seth Rollins has had one hell of a wrestling career filled with many accolades. However, he has also had his fair share of troubles in his journey to becoming one of the most successful pro wrestlers of all time.

    This was especially true for his training days. Former NXT trainer Road Dogg had recently talked about this. He explained that The Architect would become annoyed with advice given to him during his developmental run.

    The former world champion responded to these claims during an interview with Sports1. Rollins admitted that he was pretty stubborn at the time:

    “I used to be pretty stubborn, that’s true, and that was a problem starting in WWE twelve years ago and going through the NXT roster.

    On the other hand, my personality helped me because you need confidence to make it in WWE, but it was difficult with me.” said Seth Rollins, “It must also have been because I came from another world.”

    The WWE star also talked about his visionary character. He was asked about comparisons to ‘The Macho Man’ Randy Savage and whether the colorfulness of his gimmick is inspired by the wrestling legend.

    Replying to it, Rollins said that his main goal was to differentiate himself from how Roman Reigns is doing things but admitted that he is a big fan of wrestling from the past and Savege.

    Has Bayley Revealed The Name Of Her New Stable?

    It appears that the stable of Bayley, IYO SKY (Io Shirai), and Dakota Kai has a name.

    SummerSlam Shakes Up The Women’s Division

    Last night, at SummerSlam, Becky Lynch challenged for Bianca Belair’s Raw Women’s Title in the opening match. Belair picked up the win after 15 minutes of back and forth action.

    Following Bianca’s win, Lynch hugged Belair, before the duo were confronted by Bayley, Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky (Io Shirai).

    Last night after SummerSlam, WWE posted a post-show interview with Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY after their surprise return. However, the trio did not say much about their actions last night. 

    Bayley’s Stable Name Revealed?

    This afternoon, Bayley tweeted out a photo of the group with the caption “CONTROL.” The tweet was retweeted by the official WWE account. The name is not confirmed but we might not have to wait too long to find out more because the trio is scheduled to appear this Monday night on Raw so we should know more in just over 24 hours. 

    Bayley followed up that tweet by quoting Janet Jackson.

    Here is the Janet Jackson quote she included in a follow-up tweet:

    "This is a story about control

My control

Control of what I say

Control of what I dp

And this time, I'm gonna do it my way 

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do

Are we ready?

I am

'Cause it's all about control 

And I've got lots of it” - 

@JanetJackson

@WWE"

    As noted earlier, it looks like Bayley’s faction will feud with Lynch, Belair and possibly one other woman but a possible injury may force WWE to change their plans.

    Saraya (Paige) Believes Sasha Banks & Naomi Will Return To WWE

    Saraya, whose formerly known as Paige, believes that Sasha Banks and Naomi will return to WWE now that Triple H is in charge.

    Saraya officially left WWE on July 7 when her contract expired and the company decided not to re-sign her.

    Sasha Banks & Naomi To Return To WWE?

    During Saraya’s StarrCast V Media Scrum, Saraya commented on the suspensions and rumored departures of the tag team of Sasha Banks and Naomi.

    The former Divas Champion said, “I mean, everyone love Sasha Banks, right? So the four horsewomen in general is such a big and critical part of the women’s revolutions. So, I think she’ll be back. I think now with Hunter in charge, and kind of like taking the reigns and everything anything. 

    Just SummerSlam in general, just showed how much WWE has changed overnight. I mean, I don’t think anyone’s really been 100% happy with the pay-per-view in a long time and people are walking away from SummerSlam feeling like this is a turning point. 

    So, I feel like eventually you know Sasha and Naomi hopefully in my opinion will come back.”

  • Bobby Lashley Reveals Details Of His Shoulder Injury Prior To WrestleMania

    Bobby Lashley Reveals Details Of His Shoulder Injury Prior To WrestleMania

    There were a lot of rumors surrounding Bobby Lashley’s shoulder injury before WrestleMania 38. The All Mighty dropped the WWE championship to Brock Lesnar at Elimination Chamber, ending his reign in just 21 days due to it. It was believed that the reigning US champion will have to take time off for surgery, and he will miss the Show of Shows. However, he made his return just in time for Mania and competed in a singles match against Omos.

    Lashley opened up about his injury during a recent interview with The Masked Man Show. He revealed that he had a 75 percent tear in his rotator cuff and his labrum was torn. Everyone, including Vince McMahon told him to get surgery:

    “I tore my shoulder two months before WrestleMania. I couldn’t even raise my hand. I kept that quiet. I took like three weeks off and I said, I have to make it to WrestleMania.” said Bobby Lashley, “I called Vince [McMahon], Vince was like, ‘Ah, let’s take off. Let’s go get surgery,’ spend four months off and everything like that. I was like, ‘I can’t do that. There’s no way I’m gonna do that.’”

    Bobby Lashley recalled how he stayed home for a couple of weeks but the time off wasn’t suiting him. So he decided to start rehabbing and managed to get cleared by WrestleMania:

    “I started rehabbing and I got back in and then I made it for WrestleMania. I mean there’s no downtime. Every other sport has off-season. We don’t have an off-season.”

    Lashley also talked about his US title win over Theory. Bobby said that he will defend his title in an open challenge on this Monday’s episode of Raw.

  • SummerSlam Attendance News from Nissan Stadium

    SummerSlam Attendance News from Nissan Stadium

    WWE presented its second biggest event of the year in SummerSlam this Saturday from Nissan Stadium. The show was headlined by Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns Last Man Standing match.

    The Pay Per View event featured many headline-making moments. Though something else also caught people’s attention that wasn’t in WWE’s favor.

    Just before the main event of SummerSlam started, Kane made an appearance. The Hall of Famer announced that 48,449 fans were in attendance for the show.

    With a seating capacity close to 70,000, this would fill up the stadium significantly. Though many fans posted photos of the tarped-off hard cam side of the arena:

    The company had sold about 38,000 tickets for SummerSlam on Saturday morning, according to the WrestleTix Twitter account.

    WWE is known to inflate attendance figures, but this attendance is still a significant decrease from WrestleMania 38. The show was divided into two nights, and WWE had still managed to sell a lot more tickets for the event.

    The promotion has claimed that a total of 156,000 people attended the show in the AT&T Stadium. The real numbers were said to be around 131,000.

    The Money In The Bank 2022 was also originally advertised for the Allegiant Stadium, but it had to be moved to the MGM Grand Arena due to low ticket sales.

    The Stadium Shows are said to be the vision of WWE Co-CEO Nick Khan. However, if this trend continues, then the company might have to reverse this decision.

  • Who Produced Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns Match At SummerSlam

    Who Produced Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns Match At SummerSlam

    The first WWE PPV event after Vince McMahon’s retirement is officially in the books. The new WWE management under Triple H and Stephanie McMahon managed to create some iconic moments during SummerSlam.

    Fightful Select provided some backstage news about the PPV. They revealed the producers for the key matches on the card.

    The opening match of SummerSlam saw Bianca Belair retaining her Raw women’s championship against Becky Lynch. Bayley made her triumphant return after the match. Though the returning star wasn’t alone.

    She formed a new faction with Io Shirai and Dakota Kai. According to the report, Tyson Kidd was the man behind this headline-making segment. The other women’s match in Ronda Rousey vs Liv Morgan was produced by Petey Williams.

    Another match that got people talking was the Money In The Bank rematch between The Usos and Street Profits. Shawn Daivari produced this bout.

    The match between Logan Paul and The Miz was produced by Shane Helms. Paul received big praise for this bout because it was only his second official match.

    The main event of SummerSlam saw Brock Lesnar facing Roman Reigns in a Last Man Standing match. This was built as the final match between the two stars.

    The fight featured the iconic spot where Lesnar lifted the whole ring using a tractor, among others. This spectacle was produced by Michael Hayes.

    Other matches of the night included Pat McAfee vs Happy Corbin produced by Abyss, and The Mysterios vs. Judgement Day produced by Jamie Noble. Finally, Bobby Lashley vs Theory was produced by Adam Pearce.

  • WWE Avoids Mention Of Vince McMahon During SummerSlam

    WWE Avoids Mention Of Vince McMahon During SummerSlam

    WWE under Vince McMahon was known to try and erase stars from history whose legacy was deemed damaging for the company. It’s ironic that Mr. McMahon himself seems to be getting the same treatment.

    The chairman was accused of having an affair with an ex-WWE employee earlier this month. He was reported to have paid her $3 million for an NDA.

    This revelation triggered an internal investigation. Mr. McMahon was forced to retire from all his WWE positions last week after more NDAs were discovered, totaling $12 million in settlements.

    Vince McMahon Erased?

    SummerSlam 2022 was the first WWE Pay-Per-View after the chairman’s retirement. Among other things, it featured a match between Pat McAfee and Happy Corbin.

    What’s worth mentioning is that the video package that aired before the bout showed McAfee’s interaction with Stone Cold Steve Austin from WrestleMania 38. However, it avoided showing Vince McMahon.

    PWinsider further reported that the office which was built as Vince’s Office backstage before his exit was simply listed as the CEO office at SummerSlam.

    There was a separate office for Triple H with a ‘Paul Levesque’ sign. All the old signs that would have featured McMahon’s name were nowhere to be found on the latest WWE show.

    What do you think about WWE purposefully avoiding the mention of Vince McMahon at SummerSlam? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.

  • Backstage News On New SummerSlam Faction

    Backstage News On New SummerSlam Faction

    The SummerSlam PPV started off strong with a big return of Bayley after the opening bout between Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair. She was then joined by Dakota Kai and Io Shirai, to form a new faction.

    Fightful Select provided some updates on this big development. They noted how the former women’s champion had been training for weeks in preparation for her return.

    Dakota Kai made her surprise return at SummerSlam after being released in April this year. She was a name people within the company thought Triple H would make a priority to bring back.

    The former NXT women’s tag champion had gotten several main roster looks. There were writers who were ‘baffled’ when she wasn’t included in the draft last year.

    Multiple companies were interested in signing her after her release, including AEW. Though her talks with Tony Khan didn’t move past the introduction stage.

    There were people within the company pushing for her signing but it’s unknown why the AEW president didn’t bring her in.

    Io Shirai had been in news lately with reports of her contract expiring soon. She had been out of action due to an injury since April, and there had been no creative plans for her in NXT 2.0.

    This new women’s stable is a product of the new WWE management. The report says that the idea for it was pitched a while ago before Kai was released. Vince McMahon wasn’t interested in the idea, and he rejected it.

    Raquel González and Kay Lee Ray were both also pitched as members of an alternate version of the faction before their respective main roster call-ups.

    Watch What Happened With Brock Lesnar After SummerSlam Went off the Air

    WWE SummerSlam 2022 is in the books and this is what went down after the show went off the air.

    This year’s SummerSlam event was held inside Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee on July 30. The main event featured a memorable Last Man Standing match.

    It was Roman Reigns putting his WWE Undisputed Universal Championship on the line against Brock Lesnar. At one point in the match, Lesnar lifted up the ring with a tractor.

    Lesnar’s efforts ultimately weren’t enough as he had to fend off Reigns, The Usos, Paul Heyman, and Theory. It was too much for Brock, who couldn’t beat the ten-count.

    What Happened After SummerSlam

    After the Peacock broadcast went off the air, Brock Lesnar put on his cowboy hat and got back inside the elevated ring.

    He posed for the fans to show that he was alright following the brutal title match with his rival.

    Here are some clips from fans who were in attendance:

    https://twitter.com/flye75/status/1553596245444288514?s=21&t=bHMXDBKLLZt2TqjHemzbDQ

    This was billed as the final encounter between Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns. Whether or not WWE will stick to that claim remains to be seen.

    The general consensus, however, is that Brock and Roman hit a home run with their latest match. Some are already calling it the best match between the two.

  • Edge Returns at WWE SummerSlam

    Edge Returns at WWE SummerSlam

    As expected, Edge made his return to WWE programming at Saturday’s SummerSlam event from Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee, when The Mysterios vs. Finn Balor & Damian Priest in a No DQ Match was happening. 

    Edge came out to lay out Priest and Balor with spears. This allowed the father and son tag team to go over. 

    Edge didn’t have the old “Metalingus” song nor continued to use “The Other Side” nor was he back as the Rated-R Superstar gimmick. He had a remixed version of the Brood’s theme music. 

    Edge was written off television several weeks ago after being attacked by The Judgment Day and replaced by Balor.

    Leading up to Edge’s return to television, WWE has been airing vignettes featuring old memorabilia from past rivals such as Randy Orton, John Cena, The Dudley Boyz, and others. 

    Edge was slated to make his return at Monday’s Raw event from Madison Square Garden, but plans changed. It was reported earlier in the day that the former WWE Champion was backstage at SummerSlam.

    Bobby Lashley Retains WWE United States Title at SummerSlam

    WWE United States Champion Bobby Lashley made his latest title defense against Theory at SummerSlam. 

    Theory jumped him before the match. The match was a typical big man small man match. Lashley missed a spear and ate the turnbuckle. The finish saw Lashley catch him and hit his finisher. It was a short match. 

    Theory lost the United States Title at Money in the Bank to Lashley, who went over after reversing the ATL and applying the hurt lock, scoring the submission victory.

    The following Monday night on Raw, Theory stated that after he won the United States Championship at SummerSlam, then he would beat whoever was left standing after the Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight title match to become the biggest champion in company history.

    Time will tell whether WWE continues this feud or goes into a different direction heading into the Clash at the Castle pay-per-view event on September 3. 

    What are your thoughts on Bobby Lashley retaining the United States Title? Was this the right call by WWE officials? Sound off in the comment section.

    Logan Paul Wins his First Singles Match at WWE SummerSlam

    Expectations were high among fans for Logan Paul in his singles debut when he took on The Miz at Saturday’s WWE SummerSlam event from Nissan Stadium.

WWE reportedly made a promise to Paul ahead of the match that he would be a babyface as he wanted to portray that role instead of being a natural heel.

    On the July 18th edition of raw, Pail appeared on Miz TV and wanted an answer regarding his SummerSlam challenge. Miz ignored him and show footage of their match. Paul showed footage of Miz turning on him. After Paul insinuated that Miz had “tiny balls”, Miz accepted the challenge.

    Paul signed a multi-year deal with WWE that will see him work several matches. During the signing, Paul said he was coming after The Miz, who ignored the warning and instead suggested the two continue their tag team.

They all stood together before having a staredown with Lynch and Belair. 

    Bayley had been on the sidelines with a torn ACL since last July. The injury happened when she was chain wrestling in the ring with another WWE star at the Performance Center.
