– WWE Women’s Champion Sasha Banks topped this week’s WWE Power Rankings, which has to be one of the first times a woman has ranked #1 on the list. As announced yesterday, she’ll defend the title against Charlotte at WWE SummerSlam in just 3 weeks.
– Today marks 1 year since the passing of wrestling legend “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. His longtime friend Ric Flair remembered his fallen brother with this tweet. Looking at the photo of Flair and Piper in a car, imagine being in the back seat with those two for a night on the town. RIP Roddy Piper.
A year ago today I lost one of my best friends and the world lost one of its best men. I miss you Roddy. #RIPRoddy pic.twitter.com/NHtM1ufAtZ
