test. Naomi is excited to get down to business during the Women’s Royal Rumble Match in an effort to be the last woman standing. Having her close friends Sonya and Carmella on the road with her makes for many fun
adventures along the way.
Nikki and Brie connect with the ladies, whether it’s at their Birdiebee fashion show or on the road. Although the entrepreneurial sisters are busy
with their businesses and filming Total Bellas, the passion they share for
WWE hasn’t waned.
Editors Opinion:
Although I dont watch the show, I am very intrigued by this. It will be interesting to see a different side of Rousey, who always portrays a
bad-ass, who is as tough as they come. Im curious to see how much of her
softer side the cameras will allow us to see.

The Card Keeps Filling Up. Another Title Match Set For Clash Of Champions
With First Time Challengers.
Posted: 26 Aug 2019 07:34 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/card-keeps-filling-another-title-match-set-clash-champions/
The card is growing. With less than three weeks to go before Clash of Champions, there isn’t much on the card so far. The show needs some
matches added as there are a lot of titles that need to be defended.
Thankfully it seems that WWE knows that for a change and started beefing up
the card this week, starting with the Universal Title match being added and then setting up a second title match.
We have new #1 contenders to the Raw Tag Team Titles as Robert Roode and
Dolph Ziggler earned the Clash of Champions title shot. Ziggler and Roode
won an eight team Tag Team Turmoil match to earn the shot, last eliminating Heavy Machinery. This was the first time Roode and Ziggler had teamed
together and they will face Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman, who are facing
off for the Universal Title at Clash of Champions.
There isn’t much footage of them teaming together so we’ll try this instead. Check out Roode vs. Ziggler in a 2/3 falls match:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: I guess that’s as good as they could get as the Raw tag division isn’t exactly in great shape. That being said, they couldn’t put the OC in there or something instead? They just lost the Tag Team Titles and would
seem to be a bit more interesting than Roode and Ziggler. I don’t think I ever need to see Rollins vs. Ziggler again but that is just how things go
in WWE.
Who leaves Clash of Champions with the titles? Who would be the most interesting challengers? Let us know in the comments below.

Impact Wrestling Results - August 23, 2019
Posted: 26 Aug 2019 07:04 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/impact-wrestling-results-august-23-2019/
Impact Wrestling
Date: August 23, 2019
Location: Oceanview Pavilion, Port Hueneme, California
Commentators: Josh Matthews, Don Callis
We’re out of the northeast for a change and in this case it’s for a special show called Cali Combat. Impact has a tendency to make their bigger shows pretty good as they know how to do the all action events, but I’m not sure how well that is going to work this time around. Let’s get to it.
Opening recap.
Opening sequence.
Michael Elgin vs. Rhino
The ring is especially small here. Rhino goes with the power game to start
and shoulders him to the floor as the fans start a WAR MACHINE chant. Back
in and a running shoulder in the corner has Elgin in more trouble but he’s
on the floor again before the Gore can launch. Elgin nails an enziguri for
his first shot and it’s time to unload in the corner. A collision gives us
a quick double knockdown but Elgin is back up with a release Rock Bottom
out of the corner.
The twisting Swanton misses though and the comeback is on, including a spinebuster to give Rhino two. Elgin’s bridging German suplex gets the same as the power brawling continues. A piledriver plants Elgin for two more and
a superplex makes it even better. Elgin kicks the Gore away and they fight
to the floor for the double countout at 11:37.
Result: Michael Elgin vs. Rhino went to a double countout (11:37)
Post match the fight continues until referees break it up.
Post break Elgin says this isn’t over. Rhino comes in to brawl some more.
The announcers preview the show.
Tag Team Titles: Reno Scum vs. The North
The North is defending. Luster the Legend headlocks Ethan to start and then runs him down with a shoulder. The bigger Luster cranks on the arm and it’s Thornstowe coming in with an ax handle. Alexander comes in for a swinging
Texas Cloverleaf of all things and it’s the chinlock to take us to a break.
Back with Alexander stomping Thornstowe down in the corner and handing it
off to Page for a spinning backbreaker. A shot to the face allows the tag
off to Luster for the big power comeback, including a spinebuster for two
on Alexander. Everything breaks down with Page’s suicide dive taking out Luster. That leaves Thornstowe to get crotched on top, setting up the toss Alabama Slam for the pin to retain at 11:25.
Result: The North b. Reno Scum Assisted Alabama Slam to Thornstowe (11:25)
Ace Austin is banged up so Alisha Edwards helps him get his shirt off. Ace confirms that the bandages are from Eddie Edwards but Alisha leaves for her match. The chicanery continues.
Madison Rayne tries to smooth things over with Jordynne Grace, who
shouldn’t be associating with some newcomer. Grace doesn’t need her help, just like she didn’t need Rosemary’s help last week either.
Havok vs. Alisha Edwards
Alisha hammers away at Havok but her crossbody is shrugged off. Havok
tosses her around and chokes on the ropes as we talk about Moose insulting
Ken Shamrock’s bare knuckle boxing company. Alisha gets in a bulldog, only
to get Tombstoned for the pin at 3:33.
Result: Havok b. Alisha Edwards Tombstone (3:33)
Post match Ace comes out to check on Alisha so here’s Eddie for the chase….right into a chokeslam from Havok as Ace leaves with Alisha.
Su Yung appears on screen, speaks gibberish, and is gone.
Sami Callihan blames Dave Crist for the loss last week so tonight he’ll handle Tommy Dreamer himself. Sami is coming for the World Title when he’s done with Dreamer.
Moose tells Ken Shamrock to meet him in Las Vegas because while Ken is a fighting legend, Moose is a five star athlete.
X-Division Title: Rich Swann vs. Jake Crist
Crist is defending and kicks Swann in the face at the bell. Swann is fine enough to block a suicide tornado DDT on the floor and a 619 from the apron connects. Back in and Swann gets superkicked out of the air, setting up the early chinlock. Swann gets sent outside and dropped onto the apron for two
and the chinlock goes on again. That’s switched into the reverse Rings of Saturn but Swann is back up with a rolling clothesline.
Some rapid fire strikes send Crist outside, where Swann flips off the stage
to kick him in the face again. Back in and Crist plants him with a Death
Valley Driver so Swann comes back with a swinging neckbreaker. The middle
rope 450 gets two on Crist so Swann loads up the Lethal Injection, which
nearly takes out the referee. That’s enough of a distraction for Crist to grab a rollup with trunks for the pin at 8:43.
Result: Jake Crist b. Rich Swann Rollup with a handful of trunks (8:43)
Tenille Dashwood is coming.
The Desi Hit Squad go to the Deaners’ farm. The Deaners put them in
overalls, which Raju seems to like. Gama slaps him in the face and more on
this later.
Flashback Moment of the Week: Ken Shamrock wins the NWA World Title on the first show.
Taya Valkyrie promises a big title defense next week as she comes up on the longest title reign in Knockouts Title history.
Trey Miguel vs. Willie Mack
Trey starts with the Running Man and dances up off a hard shoulder. A
Samoan drop into the standing moonsault gives Mack two as the fans aren’t sure who they like more. Trey’s double springboard wristdrag is blocked
with raw power and some running forearms in the corner put Trey down.
The running Cannonball connects but the Stunner is countered into a rollup
to give Trey two. Trey wins a slugout and goes up top, where he slides
between Mack’s legs to set up a Cheeky Nandos kick. The 619 around the
corner connects, only to have Mack come back with the Stunner for the pin
at 5:26.
Result: Willie Mack b. Trey Miguel Stunner (5:26)
Tommy Dreamer says Sami Callihan is one of the bad people in wrestling and
he can’t wait to beat Sami up tonight.
Next week: Rhino vs. Elgin, falls count anywhere.
Tommy Dreamer vs. Sami Callihan
No DQ. Sami charges at him to start and gets punched in the face as they quickly head to the floor for the brawling. A ring bell shot to the ribs
each take us to a break and we’re back with the two of them on opposite aprons for a staredown. Dreamer uses a kendo stick for Sandman’s White Russian legsweep but Callihan gets in a chair shot.
Then it’s time to go hybrid with a stick shot to the chair to keep Dreamer
in trouble, followed by pulling the stick across Dreamer’s mouth. Neither
can hit a DDT so Callihan shoves him onto the chair for two instead.
Something close to a Conchairto has Dreamer in agony so Sami takes a bow. Dreamer comes back with the Dusty Rhodes punches and Bionic Elbow for two
and it’s trashcan time. And for a bonus, ladder time.
Sami hits him with both of them but Dreamer catapults him into the trashcan
in the corner. The DDT gets two on Sami, who grabs Tommy by the crotch. The drop toehold sends Dreamer into the open chair and it’s time to put a piece of wood between two chairs. Dreamer gets in a piledriver for two but a
middle rope elbow only hits ladder. Some kendo stick shots set up the piledriver through the wood to finish Dreamer at 15:28.
Result: Sami Callihan b. Tommy Dreamer Piledriver through a board (15:28)
Post match the beatdown stays on until Tessa Blanchard runs in for the save with a baseball bat. Jake Crist runs in to take Tessa out to end the show.
Results
Michael Elgin vs. Rhino went to a double countout
The North b. Reno Scum – Assisted Alabama Slam
Havok b. Alisha Edwards – Tombstone
Jake Crist b. Rich Swann – Rollup with a handful of trunks
Willie Mack b. Trey Miguel – Stunner
Sami Callihan b. Tommy Dreamer – Piledriver through a board

We Have A Main Event. Top Title Match Set For Clash Of Champions.
Posted: 26 Aug 2019 05:55 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/main-event-top-title-match-set-clash-champions/
I hate it when partners fight. Last week on Monday Night Raw, Universal Champion Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman won the Raw Tag Team Titles,
making Rollins a double champion. This presented a problem for Rollins as
he would have to defend both titles at Clash of Champions. As it turns out though, it might be a little more complicated than it seemed.
This week on Monday Night Raw, Strowman challenged Rollins for a Universal Title shot at Clash of Champions, with Rollins accepting. Last week
Rollins said that Strowman deserved the next shot and Strowman called him
out on it, leaving Rollins with little choice. Barring a title change
before the pay per view, this means that both of them will be wrestling
twice at Clash of Champions.
They only have themselves to blame. Check out Rollins and Strowman winning
the Tag Team Titles:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: I’m not sure I get the point of this. WWE currently has a huge roster with all kinds of talent around but we’re getting the same wrestlers in two matches. It doesn’t say much about the Raw Tag Team Title situation but really, it’s not like they have anyone of note to put in the title picture at the moment anyway. I’m sure we’ll get some interesting challengers for the titles, which is what the division needs at the moment.
Who do you see walking out of Clash of Champions with the Universal Title?
And the Tag Team Titles? Let us know in the comments below.

Monday Night Raw Live Coverage And Results - August 26, 2019
Posted: 26 Aug 2019 04:55 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/monday-night-raw-live-coverage-results-august-26-2019/
Monday Night Raw
Date: August 26, 2019
Location: Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, Louisiana
Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Renee Young
The King of the Ring continues tonight but we also need to start the build towards Clash of Champions. The show is in less than three weeks and there
is barely anything set up so far. That needs to start changing tonight and
odds are it will, including a likely Universal Title match between Seth
Rollins and Braun Strowman. Let’s get to it.
Here’s Sasha Banks for a chat, but first we see a recap of Banks attacking Natalya (twice) and Becky Lynch. To be fair Natalya kind of earned it. So
why did Banks do it? She worked so hard to get where she is over the years
and then took her Wrestlemania paycheck to take a much needed vacation.
That was the same Wrestlemania where Becky main evented the show for so
much more money without putting in the work. Sasha is back because she runs
the division because she is the talk of the division. Now she’s back to deserve all the glory but here’s Natalya for the brawl. Officials and
agents need some time to break it up.
The Street Profits hype up the show, including listing off everyone in the
Tag Team Turmoil #1 contenders match. Dawkins: “What is a Tag Team Turmoil match????” Ford: “Graphic please.” The winning team gets a title shot and ALL OF THE SMOKE.
King of the Ring Tournament First Round: Ricochet vs. Drew McIntyre
The winner gets Samoa Joe in the quarterfinals next week. Ricochet wants to wear the crown like his heroes and Drew has a seat on the throne. Drew doesn’t care about former winners because they were all disappointments. He’ll change that though. Ricochet gets thrown around to start but Drew
gets tossed to the floor for the middle rope moonsault.
Drew is out of the way so it’s a standoff, only to have Drew side slam him onto the barricade. Without putting Ricochet down, it’s a side slam onto
the steps as we take a break. Back with Drew working on the back some more
but a missed charge in the corner sets up a kick to Drew’s head. A springboard missile dropkick puts Drew on the floor and it’s the big
twisting dive over the top to wipe him out.
Back in and the reverse hurricanrana is countered into the reverse Alabama
Slam to give Drew two, with the fans reacting to the kickout. Ricochet gets
in a rare power display by catching a corner splash, only to have Drew hit
the suplex toss. Ricochet’s springboard clothesline sets up the running shooting star for two but Drew punches him in the face.
They head outside with Ricochet diving off the steps and getting headbutted
out of the air for his efforts. Back in and the Claymore is countered with
a superkick but Drew clotheslines the heck out of him. A sitout powerbomb
gets two so Drew tries to take him up top, only to get shoved down. The
Recoil off the middle rope knocks Drew silly though and the 630 sends
Ricochet to the next round at 12:51.
Result: Ricochet b. Drew McIntyre 630 (12:51)
We look back at Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman winning the Raw Tag Team Titles.
Rollins says he’s ready to defend two titles at Clash of Champions but Strowman is looking at the Universal Title. Strowman wants to know who is getting the title shot and Seth gets the idea in a hurry. Rollins accepts
the challenge for Clash of Champions. Note: the graphic says this took
place last week but Strowman says they won the titles last week.
King of the Ring Tournament First Round: The Miz vs. Baron Corbin
The winner gets Cedric Alexander next week. During the entrances, Miz talks about all the things he’s won in the ring and says this is the first step
to becoming King AWESOME. Corbin slugs away at him but gets knocked to the floor, only to have him drive Miz into the barricade. Back in and we get
the slide under the bottom rope into the clothesline as Graves and Renee
argue over Corbin’s merits.
We come back from a break with Miz knocking Corbin down and hitting running knees in the corner. The chokeslam is countered into a DDT for two so
Corbin tries the slide underneath the ropes. That lands Corbin in the Skull Crushing Finale for two (dang it he’s winning, mainly because his head didn’t seem to hit the mat), followed by the End of Days to give Corbin the pin at 10:00.
Result: Baron Corbin b. The Miz End of Days (10:00)
Post match Corbin puts on the crown and sits on the throne, saying that
there was a poll of WWE fans, saying ANYONE but Corbin for the winner.
Corbin laughs it off by saying that he’s accomplished everything on his own and soon we will be hearing ALL HAIL KING CORBIN.
The OC isn’t happy with having to be in an eight team Tag Team Turmoil
match tonight. They run this turf.
NXT to USA announcement, a mere six days after it was first announced
because they waited until Tuesday morning for whatever reason.
We look back at Rey Mysterio teasing retirement but being stopped by
Dominick. Mysterio is back with an update next week.
Bayley vs. Nikki Cross
Non-title. Renee and Graves start fast here as Bayley sends Nikki to the
floor, only to get sent into the apron a few times. The bodyscissors has
Bayley in trouble so Cross can yell at her about being mean to Bliss.
Bayley gets tied in the Tree of Woe for some kicks to the ribs but she is
right back with a suplex. The ribs get banged up again but Bayley is fine enough to hit a running knee to the face. The top rope elbow finishes Cross
at 4:01.
Result: Bayley b. Nikki Cross Top rope elbow (4:01)
Strowman is ready to win the US Title to go with his Raw Tag Team Title and then the Universal Title.
Tag Team Turmoil
Winners get a title shot at Clash of Champions. War Raiders are in first
and B Team is in second (out of eight total teams) with Erik getting beaten down in the corner early on. That doesn’t last long though as he powers Dallas into the corner for the tag to Ivar. House is cleaned and the Viking Experience gets rid of the B Team at 1:20.
The OC is in third and some double teaming puts Ivar down early. They head outside with Ivar hitting a suicide dive, only to take out Erik and
Anderson at the same time. The brawling continues and the referee
disqualifies both of them 3:25. They stay in the ring to stare at each
other as Dolph Ziggler/Robert Roode are in fourth and Lucha House Party in fifth.
We’re back from a break with Dorado enziguring Ziggler and making the hot
tag to Metalik. The handspring elbow connects with Ziggler and it’s the
rope walk dropkick for two. A sunset flip gets the same on Ziggler but he superkicks a handspring out of the air to get rid of the House Party at
10:05. Revival is in sixth with Ziggler headscissoring Dawson down in a
hurry. That should be a near fall but the referee is COMPLETELY out of position, with Graves and Young yelling at him over it.
Dawson fights up and a top rope knee/backbreaker combination gets two on Ziggler. A waistlock keeps Ziggler down and Dawson ties him in the ropes
for some kicks to the face. An elbow to the face gets Ziggler out of
trouble and everything breaks down with what looked to be a tornado DDT not quite working. They keep going though with Dawson hitting a brainbuster on Ziggler but Dolph isn’t legal. That lets Dawson hit the Glorious DDT to eliminate Revival at 15:58.
Back from another break with Zack Ryder/Curt Hawkins in seventhand Ryder
gets superkicked for the elimination at 20:10. We saw less than a minute of Hawkins and Ryder and here are Heavy Machinery in eighth to complete the
field. Ziggler and Roode want a breather on the floor so Tucker waits a few seconds before picking Ziggler up for a suplex. Before dropping back he
hands it off to Otis, who does the actual suplexing. Roode low bridges
Tucker to the floor though and a whip into the steps gets two.
Ziggler’s neckbreaker is good for the same and it’s off to the chinlock. Tucker fights up and gets the tag to Otis so house can be cleaned. The Caterpillar is broken up so Otis splashes both of them in the corner,
meaning NOW the Caterpillar can connect (Renee: “MAKE MAMA’S DREAMS COME TRUE!”) for two with Roode making the save. Ziggler breaks up the Compactor with a superkick though and the Zig Zag sends Otis and Roode onto Tucker.
The Glorious DDT sends Roode and Ziggler to Clash of Champions at 26:56.
Result: Dolph Ziggler/Robert Roode won Tag Team Turmoil last eliminating
Heavy Machinery (26:56)
Long video on Roman Reigns’ attacks, which seems to be the same video with new footage added at the end.
Total Divas is back in October, featuring Ronda Rousey.
Sasha Banks vs. Natalya
Natalya, with a bad arm, comes straight at her to start and they brawl to
the floor early on. Back in and Natalya keeps hammering away, setting up a
heck of a release German suplex (Sasha landed hard) for two. Banks tries to
get to the floor and manages to wrap the bad arm around the post. A whip
into the timekeeper’s area and then the post has Natalya in trouble. The
arm gets pulled around the middle rope but Banks misses the running knees
in the corner. The Sharpshooter doesn’t work and Banks gets in the Bank Statement, complete with pulling the bad arm around Natalya’s throat for
the tap at 4:00.
Result: Sasha Banks b. Natalya Bank Statement (4:00)
Post match Banks comes back and hooks the Bank Statement again.
AJ Styles isn’t worried about facing Strowman tonight, even if the OC is barred from ringside. Tonight, he’s giving Strowman what he deserves: nothing.
Cedric Alexander vs. Cesaro
Cesaro wastes no time in knocking Alexander into the corner so Cedric
starts the flips into the anklescissors. The suicide dive is blocked with
an uppercut though and a gutwrench suplex gets two. Cedric gets in a big
boot and the springboard Downward Spiral puts Cesaro on the floor, setting
up the big flip dive. Back from a break with Cesaro working on the knee but Alexander is fine enough to hit a Michinoku Driver for two.
The knee is too banged up for a springboard though and Cesaro kicks the
knee out again. The apron superplex sets up a half crab on Alexander, who
gets over to the rope without much trouble. Cedric’s standing Spanish Fly gives him two more but it’s back to the half crab to stay on the leg. With that broken up, Cesaro tries an ankle lock but gets rolled out, setting up
the Lumbar Check to finish Cesaro at 10:55.
Result: Cedric Alexander b. Cesaro Lumbar Check (10:55)
Video on the 24/7 Title changes over the weekend.
Ziggler and Roode say they’re drawn to each other because of shared greatness. They belong together and they’ll become Raw Tag Team Champions, which will be glorious.
The Street Profits talk about the Rollins/Strowman situation but Dawkins is
too worried about the after party on Bourbon Street. He has a Mardi Gras
mask and beads ready too. Strowman appears and scares them before they can
make their pick for the main event.
Video on the Firefly Fun House and the debut of the Fiend.
US Title: AJ Styles vs. Braun Strowman
Styles is defending and the OC is barred from ringside. Strowman throws him over the top almost immediately and it’s time for the running shoulders around the ring. Back in and the Phenomenal Forearm is countered into a chokeslam for two with AJ having to put his foot on the rope. A big boot
puts AJ on the floor and we take a break. Back with AJ grabbing a sleeper
to take Strowman down to a knee. That’s broken up with a ram into the
corner but AJ chop blocks the leg in a smart move. A Lionsault gives AJ two
and it’s off to the Calf Crusher in a logical move.
Strowman powers out of it and knocks AJ down again but a missed charge
sends Strowman shoulder first into the post. AJ hits Strowman in the back
to send the referee outside, allowing a low blow to take Strowman down. A
chair is brought in but Strowman hits the powerslam, only to have the OC
come in for the beatdown. Strowman fights back with the chair but AJ does
the old Eddie Guerrero drop down. The referee says he HEARD the chair shots
and that’s a DQ at 9:56.
Result: AJ Styles b. Braun Strowman via DQ when the referee heard chair
shots (9:56)
Strowman cleans house and holds up the US Title to end the show.
Results
Ricochet b. Drew McIntyre – 630
Baron Corbin b. The Miz – End of Days
Bayley b. Nikki Cross – Top rope elbow
Dolph Ziggler/Robert Roode won Tag Team Turmoil last eliminating Heavy Machinery
Sasha Banks b. Natalya – Bank Statement
Cedric Alexander b. Cesaro – Lumbar Check
AJ Styles b. Braun Strowman via DQ when the referee heard chair shots

The Reunion Continues. AEW Signs A Legendary Name For TNT Series.
Posted: 26 Aug 2019 12:55 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/reunion-continues-aew-signs-legendary-name-tnt-series/
We’re getting the band back together. AEW is launching on TNT in just over
a month and that means there are some final ends to be tied up. Most of
the show is already set up but AEW has figured out how to stretch things
out and bring out as many surprises as they can. They had another one to
start the week and this one was much more of a blast from the past than anything else.
AEW has confirmed the signing of Tony Schiavone as a commentator on their weekly TNT show, where he will work alongside Jim Ross and Excalibur.
Schiavone is currently doing commentary for Major League Wrestling and it
is not clear how his role there will continue going forward. Schiavone was lead commentators for WCW Monday Nitro from 1995-2001 and Ross teamed with Schiavone on commentary for WCW in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
In case you’re not familiar with Schiavone. Check out his work with WWE
back in the day:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: I can see both sides of this one as you have a classic wrestling
voice which could bring back some older fans, but at the same time, do you really want to tie things back to Monday Nitro, which didn’t have the best ending? Ross and Schiavone certainly have a history together and are both great at what they do, but this is something that could go in a few
different ways.
What are you expecting from AEW’s commentary? Is Schiavone a good choice? Let us know in the comments below.
