That Was Fast. WWE Changes Extreme Rules Title Match Hours After It Was
First Announced.
Posted: 02 Jul 2019 07:21 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/fast-wwe-changes-extreme-rules-title-match-hours-first-announced/
Why have a match when you can have a bigger match? Extreme Rules is coming
up and that means a chance to get a lot of people onto the card. A lot of
the matches have already been announced but there are still a variety of
spots left to go. At the same time though, there are various ways to get
more people on the card, one of which was used for an upcoming title match.
This week on SmackDown Live, Heavy Machinery defeated the makeshift team of Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler to earn a spot in the SmackDown Tag Team
Title match at Extreme Rules between New Day and Daniel Bryan and Rowan.
The match was announced earlier in the night by Shane McMahon, who felt
that neither Ziggler nor Owens were due a WWE Championship match. The
original Tag Team Title match was only announced earlier in the day.
Some of these guys have gotten together before. Check out several of them
in a big elimination tag:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: The setup for the match wasn’t the best but at least they got to
the right conclusion. Heavy Machinery is still a team who can be a threat
to the titles while getting a strong reaction at the same time. I’ll certainly take that over wacky tag team partners who don’t get alone, so
this could have been a lot worse. If nothing else, I’ll take Owens mocking Ziggler’s repetitive promos some more.
Did WWE make the right choice here? Who wins the match at Extreme Rules?

Knock Knock. Aleister Black Got A Knock On His Door And Now He Has A Match With..
Posted: 02 Jul 2019 06:47 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/knock-knock-aleister-black-got-knock-door-now-match/
Who’s there? Over the last few weeks, Aleister Black has been sitting in a dark room and asking someone, ANYONE for that matter, to come and pick a
fight with him. This has not been the most exciting way to use someone
like Black but that has not stopped WWE from plugging away with it. Last
week though, someone finally knocked and now we know where this is going.
Kind of.
This week on SmackDown Live, Black said that when he opened the door last
week, no one was there. Black was fine with that though and announced that
he would be facing whomever it was who knocked at Extreme Rules. This will
be Black’s first match since just after WrestleMania 35, when he took part
in an eight man tag team match on the April 15 Monday Night Raw.
It took long enough. Check out Black getting what he wanted:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: While this wasn’t the biggest surprise in the world, I can’t say I’m exactly thrilled with the way things went down. Black has been teasing
a match with someone for so long now and we don’t even get to find out who
it is just yet. In theory it’s going to be Randy Orton, but I’m not sold on having Black get the win. That would make far more sense, but would WWE actually let Orton lose in his return match?
Who do you think will be at the door? What happens at Extreme Rules? Let
us know in the comments below.

They Doubled It! WWE Makes Change To Top Extreme Rules Match.
Posted: 02 Jul 2019 05:31 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/double-wwe-makes-change-top-extreme-rules-match/
Put some extreme on it. We are less than two weeks away from Extreme Rules
and the card is mostly announced, but there is a severe lack of matches
that would be classified as extreme. Of the six matches announced, only
one has any kind of stipulation included. That makes for a fairly tame sounding show, but the amount of stipulations doubled on Tuesday night.
This week on SmackDown Live, Shane McMahon announced that he and Drew
McIntyre would now be facing Undertaker and Roman Reigns in a No Holds
Barred match. The match itself was set up last week when Undertaker made a surprise return to save Reigns from McIntyre and McMahon. This week on
Monday Night Raw, Undertaker explained that he was back to deal with McMahon’s ego getting out of control.
So that’s his problem. Check out Undertaker’s explanation from Monday Night Raw:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: This is far from the most surprising thing in the world as McMahon
is rarely going to wrestle a match that has traditional rules. If nothing
else it can help prevent the match from being that much of a mess, but at
the same time it could be almost scary to see how much further WWE is
willing to push McMahon. Would it shock you to see him pin Undertaker and continue his roll?
Do you like the change of pace? How do you see the match going? Let us
know in the comments below.

Seth Rollins: WWEs New Top Guy or the Right Guy Right Now?
Posted: 02 Jul 2019 05:23 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tomclark/seth-rollins-wwes-new-top-guy-or-the-right-guy-right-now/
Seth Rollins is on top of WWE right now, thanks in no small part to his
current run as Universal champion. But now The Beastslayer also has the Raw Women’s champion and real life girlfriend, Becky Lynch, at his side on TV.
WWE’s newest power couple is riding high right now and with good reason.
The company loves them, they’re extremely popular with fans and now the two are getting over together. Rollins and Lynch are just beginning on
television, but it seems that this may become a longterm storyline in Vince McMahon’s company. But will Seth become the longterm top guy in WWE?
The top guy question has been debated in fan circles for quite some time.
Many feel that WWE is actually no longer in the top guy business and
instead has shifted the focus to the overall roster of Superstars. One
talent is not being elevated over another, which means that everyone has a
fair shot of getting over with the audience. It’s an approach that sounds good on paper, but it’s perhaps not the most ideal situation.
That’s due to the fact that WWE seems to rely too much on 50/50 booking as
a result. If everyone is equal, then no one has the ability to breakout. If that’s the case, then no one can really get hot enough to truly make a difference for business. The entire roster is noting more than an
assortment of cookie cutter performers, each one interchangeable and
largely forgettable.
Watch Rollins and Lynch backstage on Raw!
But this is not how WWE has typically operated in the past. From Bruno Sammartino to Hulk Hogan to Steve Austin, one top star after another has
been featured as the primary draw of the company. WWE’s success hinged on each man’s ability to generate interest and that interest led to ticket sales, merchandise sales and pay-per-view buys. Of course that all changed
with John Cena.
This is where the top guy method of doing business began to transform. Cena
was a top guy in every sense of the word. He sold merchandise, he sold
tickets and he did generate interest. But he often did all of those things while also being the most hated babyface in the industry. WWE fans didn’t believe that a guy could be so honest and upright as was always the case
with Cena.
He was too good for his own good and the crowd despised him for it. So
while John was indeed the face of WWE, he also was not the only draw on the roster. Randy Orton was always around to feud with John and Cena definitely needed The Viper during some very critical points in his career. The
Undertaker and Triple H have also been a presence, albeit part-time, when
WWE needed two big names on a big card.
Watch Rollin and Lynch get extreme on Raw!
But the man that truly challenged the top guy idea was Brock Lesnar. The
Beast Incarnate has been paid some incredible money to do incredibly
little. But what he does usually works. Lesnar gets an automatic reaction
from the crowd despite what city he’s in or what he’s there to do. The same fans who claim they don’t want him around are likely the ones on their feet when his music hits. He’s just too compelling to ignore.
But was Brock Lesnar ever the top guy in WWE? Common sense says no, because
of his schedule. Lesnar was never there every week, both in the ring and on
the mic. Those days have long since passed. Brock is an attraction now and nothing more. However the fact that he continues to spark such great
interest when he’s booked, implies that WWE just doesn’t seem to care about the top guy spot anymore.
Why saddle one talent with that kind of responsibility, when it can be
shared among five or six stars? Does that explain why Roman Reigns, the
heir apparent to John Cena, is no longer the driving focus of WWE? Could it
be that Vince McMahon has indeed deiced to move on and shine the spotlight
on Seth Rollins instead? Or is all of this a case of “right here, right now?”
Check out Seths greatest moments in WWE!
Perhaps Seth is just in the right position at the moment. He is a company
guy after all and he proves that every time he defends WWE. Rollins is
loyal and believes in his company. He truly seems to have taken on the role
of top star, but has he done it by default?
Is it possible that Rollins is the man for the job because he’s the man
that currently suits that job? Or is he at the forefront right now because
WWE is anointing him as the new top guy?
The truth is that Seth Rollins on top of Monday Night Raw and ultimately
WWE, is what many fans wanted from the very beginning. Reigns was just as
hated as Cena and perhaps even more. Lesnar is the part-time prize fighter
and every time he holds the Universal Championship, the title disappears
with him. Fans wanted to see someone finally defeat him and more
importantly, they wanted that win to actually stick. This time it has.
Seth Rollins, the workhorse of The Shield, became the workhorse of WWE.
He’s battled back from injury, he’s proven himself time after time and he is one of the best in the business today. Is he the top guy in WWE, or is
he merely filling that role right now? Perhaps it doesn’t matter and maybe
it never did. Only Seth Rollins and WWE, knows for sure.

SmackDown Live Coverage And Results - July 2, 2019
Posted: 02 Jul 2019 04:59 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/smackdown-live-coverage-results-july-2-2019/
Smackdown
Date: July 2, 2019
Location: AT&T Center, San Antonio, Texas
Commentators: Tom Phillips, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton
For the first time in a very long while, Smackdown actually has some
catching up to do with Raw. Last night’s show was pretty good for a change and a lot of that has to do with the Paul Heyman influence. While it isn’t clear if Eric Bischoff’s influence will begin tonight or not, it certainly does make for an intriguing possibility. Let’s get to it.
We open with a look back at last night when Braun Strowman and Bobby
Lashley blew up the set and were taken away in ambulances. Lashley has been released from the medical center and we’ll hear from him tonight. Strowman
is pretty banged up and may have a ruptured spleen.
Here’s Kevin Owens for the Kevin Owens Show. He reads his opening statement about the upcoming tag match at Extreme Rules (while having to switch cards between “Under” and “Taker”) and brings out his guests: Shane McMahon and
Drew McIntyre. We see a clip of Undertaker’s appearance from last night, followed by Shane talking about his winning streak. Now it’s time to beat Reigns again and now the match is going to be No Holds Barred.
Drew talks about what they do in regular matches and how vicious of an
assault the tag match is going to be. Owens doesn’t seem convinced and
wants to see a piece of the footage. That would be McIntyre and Shane
running away from Undertaker during his entrance. Owens thinks Shane looks
a bit afraid of Undertaker but in reality, it was just a reflex action that sent Shane running into the crowd. Shane: “What are you doing?”
Shane tells him to be a good talk show host and read the cards like they
agreed to. Owens reads about Shane winning at Super ShowDown with NO help….but then switches to asking about Shane losing to Undertaker after a seven year absence. Drew gets in Owens’ face but here’s Dolph Ziggler of all people. Owens cuts Ziggler off, saying that he doesn’t want to hear
from Ziggler about how it should be him. Owens: “It should have been you eight years ago and it was kind of but it’s not SO GET OVER IT!!!”
Ziggler goes into his usual speech and says he looks the part but Owens
looks like he should be in a hot dog eating contest. Owens says he would
win, which is better than Ziggler does in wrestling matches. Owens puts it
up to Shane who should get the next title shot but that won’t happen. Instead, the two of them can team up against Heavy Machinery. The winning
team will be added to the Tag Team Title match at Extreme Rules to make it
a triple threat.
Daniel Bryan and Rowan don’t like their match becoming a triple threat
match but will walk out with the titles anyway.
New Day is ready for a fight and promise to take their titles back at
Extreme Rules.
Big E. vs. Daniel Bryan
Big E. swivels his way out of a waistlock to start and the gyrating
continues as Bryan looks on. Bryan tries some running shoulders to no avail
so Big E. grabs the abdominal stretch with the trombone accompanied
spanking. A clothesline turns Bryan inside out and we take a break.
Back with Bryan working on Big E.’s knee but his running clothesline is countered with a pair of belly to belly suplexes. The YES Kicks are
countered into another suplex and the Warrior Splash gets two. Bryan sends
him to the floor though and Rowan posts Big E. While Woods dives onto
Rowan, the running knee gives Bryan the pin at 8:09.
Result: Daniel Bryan b. Big E. Running knee (8:09)
We look back at R-Truth losing the 24/7 Title to Drake Maverick last night.
R-Truth tries to talk about going on his honeymoon, but it never actually happened. He heard that Hornswoggle and his wife were here in San Antonio instead of on their honeymoon. R-Truth: “So Mr. 7/11 European TV Champion, I’m coming for you! I want my baby back!”
Alexa Bliss sends Nikki Cross out to host a Moment of Bliss because it’s
time to kick her out of the nest.
Here’s Cross for a Moment of Bliss. Nikki introduces herself and promises
to talk slowly so her accent doesn’t become a problem. She brings out
Bayley as her guest, who seems impressed with Nikki’s hosting so far. Nikki says she’s here to ask the tough questions, like why Bayley called Bliss a liar. Bayley says she’s telling the truth because Nikki beat her last week and then beat Carmella last night. So why isn’t Nikki getting the title
shot? Nikki doesn’t know, but she’ll fight Bayley right now.
Nikki Cross vs. Bayley
Non-title. Bayley hits a dropkick and suplex at the bell before hammering
away. Nikki bails to the floor for a bit and gets caught with a jawbreaker
back inside. With nothing else working, Nikki jumps on her back for a
choke, which is broken up in a hurry. A high crossbody works a lot better
for Nikki and she hits a splash in the corner. An ensuing bulldog looks to
set up the Purge but Bayley reverses into a backslide for two. The Purge is countered into the Bayley to Belly to give Bayley the pin at 3:06.
Result: Bayley b. Nikki Cross Bayley to Belly (3:06)
Ali talks about how people chase the WWE Championship for money and power.
He chases it to bring change to millions of minds who have been taught that their name or hometown defines them. He’s going to change that and if you believe that lie, he’ll change your mind. When he becomes WWE Champion, it’s going to change your mind. Then he’ll be on the billboards and posters and fans will see someone who looks like them. Let the chase continue.
Here are Kofi Kingston and Samoa Joe for a face to face showdown. Joe talks about choking him out last night, which was an act of generosity. It seems
that Kofi is always receiving some kind of act of generosity. Whenever New
Day is given a singles match, it’s always Kofi getting the shot because he’s the New Day’s guy. Joe says they’re using the people just like he does
and in a few years, Woods and Big E. can be the hype man and butler.
Kofi talks about everything he has done by himself while Joe lost the US
Title to Ricochet. Joe is the one always jumping people from behind but Joe isn’t convinced. He knows Kofi always has a way out planned, like when he brought in his kids. Kofi calls Joe jealous but Joe offers a handshake in
honor of choking Kofi out two weeks in a row.
If Kofi will shake his hand, Joe will promise the safety of everyone Kofi
holds dear until Extreme Rules. There’s no handshake, so Joe gives him five seconds before he starts slapping Kofi around the ring. Instead Kofi flips
him off and hits Trouble in Paradise.
Heavy Machinery is very excited about their big chance tonight. They’re up against a team who has won 18 combined titles but never one as a team. They know the numbers from great scouting but Owens and Ziggler aren’t a team. They’re coming for the titles.
We look at the Strowman/Lashley explosion from last night again.
We see a video from Lashley’s Twitter, saying Strowman got what he
deserved. That had nothing to do with wrestling because they went into an unsafe area. Lashley could have been electrocuted or something worse but Strowman didn’t care. The next time Lashley sees that son of a b****, he’s sending him to the morgue.
Andrade vs. Apollo Crews
Andrade stomps him into the corner to start and the running knees get two. Crews knocks him back down though and it’s a standing moonsault for two as
we take a break. Back with Apollo hitting a jumping enziguri while Andrade
is on the middle rope. The gorilla press drop into the standing moonsault
gets two but Andrade sends him outside. That means a slingshot dive but
Apollo catches him in midair. With Andrade being sent back inside, Zelina
Vega gets in a hurricanrana off the steps. Back in and the hammerlock DDT
gives Andrade the pin at 5:49.
Result: Andrade b. Apollo Crews Hammerlock DDT (5:49)
Owens and Ziggler say this won’t work but Owens has a plan: Ziggler stands
in the corner and looks pretty while Owens does the work. Ziggler thinks
Owens should just have a hot dog and let him do the work instead. Owens
says they should try because the Tag Team Titles are worth it. Ziggler
agrees because he’s done worse. Just no hot dogs.
Aleister Black says there was a knock at his door last week….but there was
no one there. He applauds whoever knocked because whoever it was is now fighting on a spiritual plane. Now he only cares about the person showing
up at Extreme Rules. For if they shall fight in the heavens, they shall
fight through the seven layers of h*** and if they meet in purgatory,
fighting they shall.
Ember Moon vs. Mandy Rose
Sonya Deville is here with Mandy and offers an early distraction. That doesn’t seem to matter as Mandy gets caught with a forearm for two, only to come back with a belly to back faceplant. A knee to the face gives Mandy
two more and we hit the chinlock. Ember fights up in a hurry and hits a jawbreaker, followed by the Eclipse for the pin at 2:16.
Result: Ember Moon b. Mandy Rose Eclipse (2:16)
Shelton Benjamin is asked about the upcoming WWE Championship match at
Extreme Rules. He looks around, smiles, and says nothing.
Heavy Machinery vs. Dolph Ziggler/Kevin Owens
The winners go on to face New Day, Daniel Bryan and Rowan, all of whom are
out for commentary, at Extreme Rules. Otis takes Ziggler down to start but
the fight breaks out on the floor with Bryan running through Big E. with another knee. Rowan breaks up the pancake table and claw slams Woods
through it as we take a break.
Back with the match having been restarted and Tucker shoulders Owens down
for two. Tucker dives over Owens and runs him down for two more but a low bridge sends Tucker outside. Ziggler comes in for a neckbreaker into a backsplash from Owens, setting up a Crossface.
With that broken up, Tucker comes off the middle rope with a spinning
crossbody and the hot tag brings in Otis. A spinning slam and t-bone suplex gets two on Ziggler as everything breaks down. Owens gets sent outside and
the Zig Zag is broken up. The Caterpillar hits Ziggler but Owens is back up with a superkick. The Stunner is broken up though and Ziggler superkicks
Owens, setting up the Compactor to pin Owens at 6:13.
Result: Heavy Machinery b. Kevin Owens/Dolph Ziggler Compactor to Owens
(6:13)
Post match Ziggler helps Owens up and gets Stunned for his efforts to end
the show.
Results
Daniel Bryan b. Big E. – Running knee
Bayley b. Nikki Cross – Bayley to Belly
Andrade b. Apollo Crews – Hammerlock DDT
Ember Moon b. Mandy Rose – Eclipse
Heavy Machinery b. Kevin Owens/Dolph Ziggler – Compactor to Owens

I Hope They Used An Erasable Pen. WWE Changes International Schedule,
Likely To Accommodate Saudi Arabia.
Posted: 02 Jul 2019 04:49 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/hope-used-erasable-pen-wwe-changes-international-schedule-likely-accommodate-saudi-arabia/
Changes changes. The WWE Saudi Arabian shows have not gone over well with
the fans for a long list of reasons. You can take your pick on the issues, ranging from the wrestling not being all that great to the lack of
significant moments to the issues with the Saudi Arabian government, but
the general consensus is that they have not gone very well. Now a whole
new issue seems to be coming up.
The SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland has announced that the Monday Night Raw taping originally scheduled for November 11 has been turned into a non-televised event. While not confirmed, this would seem to be designed
to accommodate the Saudi Arabia show originally scheduled for November 1.
That date would have seen the show taking place at the same time as a
SmackDown Live, meaning the shows would have to be split. At the moment,
it is not clear when the November 11 Monday Night Raw will be taped.
Glasgow has had some cool WWE moments before. Check out one of the more awesome things to ever happen there:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: I understand why WWE has to do the Saudi Arabian shows, but my goodness the issues that these things cause just keep piling up. It’s
really not a good look to again put these mostly inconsequential shows over some of the most loyal fans WWE has, but that’s what the power of
guaranteed money can do for you. I’m sure WWE will be fine, though these shows are turning into a nightmare for everyone but the company.
Does this make WWE look bad? Have you liked any of the Saudi Arabian
shows? Let us know in the comments below.

Theres Another One. New Title Match Added To Extreme Rules.
Posted: 02 Jul 2019 04:28 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/theres-another-one-new-title-match-added-extreme-rules/
The logical move. We’re less than two weeks away from Extreme Rules and
the card is mostly announced. While the lack of extreme matches is very noticeable so far, there are still matches that can be added to the card to flesh things out a little bit. It helps that some of the stories have been
set up already and one fairly obvious match has been confirmed for the show.
As announced on WWE.com, the SmackDown Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan and Rowan will defend their titles against Big E. and Xavier Woods of the New
Day at Extreme Rules. The match was set up last month when New Day
defeated the champions in an eight man elimination tag match and then in a regular tag match the following night. This will be Bryan and Rowan’s
second televised title defense despite winning the titles on May 7.
Here’s a little preview. Check out the second match between the two:
[This post contains video, click to play]
Opinion: While I’m not wild on how the match was set up or about seeing New Day getting another title shot, the match itself should be quite good.
Despite being in the title picture for the better part of ever, New Day is
one of the best teams in the company and has been for a very long time.
The match being good will make up for some of its issues and odds are that
will be the case given who is involved.
Who do you think wins the titles? What do both teams do next? Let us know
in the comments below.

Watch: Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle vs. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon From WrestleMania 34 (VIDEO)
Posted: 02 Jul 2019 03:04 PM PDT
https://wrestlingrumors.net/derekstoughton/watch-ronda-rousey-kurt-angle-vs-triple-h-stephanie-mcmahon-wrestlemania-34-video/
The Baddest Woman on the Planet has arrived. WWE has posted a new video to
its YouTube channel, in which they show the full match between Ronda Rousey
& Kurt Angle vs. Triple H & Stephanie McMahon from WrestleMania 34. It was Rouseys debut match with the company.
You can see the video in its entirety below:
[This post contains video, click to play]
From WWE.com:
Rousey, it turns out, is a natural in the ring. Not only did she go after Stephanie with near unbridled ferocity, she even turned Triple H himself
into a human heavy bag during a stretch where Stephanie and Angle got taken
out and The Game convinced the ref to allow the action to continue anyway. Impressively, Stephanie managed to answer Rousey’s dreaded armbar each time she attempted to apply it, and her resilience paid off when The Game
managed to throw Angle into his partner while The Olympic Gold Medalist was applying the Angle Lock on The King of Kings.
With their opponents down, the power couple attempted stereo Pedigrees on
the two Olympians, but at this point, it was Angle and Rousey who were
rolling with The Authority playing catchup. Angle tossed The Game over the
top rope, Rousey maneuvered her way into armbar position once again and Stephanie’s pleas for mercy fell on deaf ears. When the armbar was finally locked in, the Raw Commissioner tapped within seconds — although possibly
too late to save her appendage — and The Baddest Woman on the Planet
claimed her first win in WWE.
Editors Opinion:
I attended WrestleMania 34 and the crowd was absolutely insane for this
match. The electricity in the building was through the roof, and Rousey
proved why she deserves every accolade that she has been given in the world
of professional wrestling.
