A huge Monday Night Raw has been announced for next week, a show dubbed as the biggest Raw Reunion ever. All WWE Superstars will be on hand for the show along with former Superstars from the past.
Announced to be participating are Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Diesel, Razor Ramon, Jerry “The King” Lawler, Santino Marella, “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Booker T, Triple H, Sgt. Slaughter, X-Pac, Smackdown Executive Director and former Raw GM Eric Bischoff, and many more.
The Raw Reunion will be held from the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, the home of next year’s WWE events during WrestleMania weekend.
There’s a new sheriff in town for Raw and his name is Brock Lesnar.
Yesterday at Extreme Rules, Paul Heyman came out with a “spoiler” and told the Philly crowd that his client will be cashing in his Money In The Bank briefcase sometime during the broadcast.
After teasing a cash-in a couple of times before, the beast was really in Philadelphia and came out after Rollins and Lynch won the main event and retained their titles.
Rollins tried to get the upper hand on Lesnar but the former UFC Heavyweight champion quickly hit two German suplexes. The referee then started the match after Heyman handed over the briefcase. Lesnar hit an F5 on Rollins and pinned him to win the title again.
Lesnar lost the Universal title at WrestleMania 35 to Seth Rollins in the opening match of the card. This is his third run with this title.
Here are the results from last night’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view which took place from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Finn Balor to become the new Intercontinental champion in the Kickoff show; Drew Gulak defeated Tony Nese to retain the Cruiserweight title in the Kickoff show; The Undertaker and Roman Reigns defeated Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre; The Revival defeated The Usos to retain the Raw Tag Team titles; Aleister Black defeated Cesaro; Bayley defeated Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in a handicap match to retain the Smackdown Women’s title; Braun Strowman defeated Bobby Lashley in a last man standing match; The New Day defeated Daniel Bryan and Rowan, and Heavy Machinery to become the new Smackdown Tag Team champions; AJ Styles defeated Ricochet to become the new United States champion; Kevin Owens defeated Dolph Ziggler; Kofi Kingston defeated Samoa Joe to retain the WWE title; Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch defeated Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans to retain the Universal and Raw Women’s titles; Brock Lesnar defeated Seth Rollins to become the new Universal champion.
Hey everybody! It’s @TheMagnumDA with tonight’s EXTREME RULES PPV Pick’em. Tonight, Colin will defend his WOPC Championship in a Triple Threat vs. Heel Turn Tom and yours truly! Who will come out on top? Read on to find out!
Quick note: Any matches added to the card, including Finn Balor vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (and possibly Owens vs. Ziggler) were not on the card as of this morning, so they were not picked.
With that, ON WITH THE EXTREME PICKS!
WWE Raw Tag Team Championship Match
The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) (c) vs. The Usos (Jey and Jimmy)
Colin: I love The Revival. I love The Usos. Probably the best two tag teams in WWE at the moment. Should be a great match. The Revival to keep the straps.
Tom: About a year ago, The Revival were at Waterloo, IA for George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame. Now they are champions. Watch out for Sheamus next year. The Revival will win and go onto a feud with The Club.
Magnum: I’m not sure if a Revival vs. Club feud could happen, but it’s possible. I’ll take The Revival to win and probably end this feud. Tom’s right, these teams will probably move on after this show.
Handicap match for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship
Bayley (c) vs. Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross
Colin: I’m kinda hoping Sasha Banks returns to even the odds here at some point….and then turns on Bayley! That’d be awesome. Bayley retains with probably Cross doing the job, keeping Alexa strong in the process.
Tom: How can Bayley defeat two people? Well lucky Nikki Cross is a CRAZY woman and will get upset with Alexa and open the door for a quick pin and victory for Bayley.
Magnum: Tonight could be the night Sasha returns, but even if she doesn’t…Bayley should retain while the Bliss/Cross connection will probably implode after the match. In the event that Alexa Bliss gets the pin, I wouldn’t be surprised if she leaves Cross afterwards. Co-champions? I don’t think so!
WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Drew Gulak (c) vs. Tony Nese
Colin: Hm, okay. I don’t know. Gulak? I don’t really follow 205 Live.
Tom: Drew Gulak is an interesting character in comparison to the other cruiserweights. I see Chad Gable as the next champion. Since he is not in the match, I pick Gulak to retain.
Magnum: Drew Gulak’s rise to the top of 205 Live is well-deserved. He’s worked hard on his craft for a number of years, and the character he has created is the kind of guy you love to hate. Tonight, he’ll retain the title. Gulak wins.
WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match
Daniel Bryan and Rowan (c) vs. The New Day (Big E and Xavier Woods) vs. Heavy Machinery (Otis and Tucker)
Colin: Here’s one thing I do NOT want to see again for now: The New Day as tag team champions again. I’m okay with Daniel Bryan and Rowan keeping the titles for the time being. The tag team division in Smackdown is crap anyway. DB and Rowan retain.
Tom: I did say Vince likes a big sweaty man. What is more bigger and sweatier than the Heavy Machinery. And they do the silly humor I bet Vince dies laughing at. While they will probably be champs someday, today is not the day. I see Bryan and Rowan walking out as still your WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship.
Magnum: I think WWE has played it really smart with Heavy Machinery – they continue to rack up wins on TV, even though they’re coming up short on the PPV. They will remain contenders, as will the New Day, but tonight belongs to the Planet’s Champions. Bryan and Rowan retain.
Open Challenge
Aleister Black vs. Cesaro
Colin: This should be a fantastic match. Two great wrestlers. Black is a proper superstar and I think he will defeat Cesaro in this match of the night.
Tom: I like Cesaro. He has been built up with some good wins. It would be good to see the leader of the C-Section to get a really big push. But this baby isn’t coming today. Black for the win.
Magnum: C-Section?! Oy vey. As for tonight, I’m smelling a red herring. Yes, Cesaro was the man who “opened the door” to face Mr. Black, but I believe there will be a greater challenge awaiting Aleister after this match. Follow the Fireflies.
WWE United States Championship Match
Ricochet (c) vs. AJ Styles (w/The Club)
Colin: Tough one. Unless they go the DQ route when The Club interferes, AJ Styles can’t lose again. Plus, if they want to push The Club, AJ has to get the title in this one. New champ.
Tom: This is my pick for match of the night. I like both wrestlers so this is tough. I am hoping for something more with The Club and that can start tonight. Styles clash and AJ is your new WWE United States Champion.
Magnum: I don’t know – I think something could happen where AJ is DQ’ed or possibly caught in another roll-up to lose. I think Ricochet will get the upset and retain, but he’s going to get hurt. Regardless of what happens, AJ will ascend to the #1 Contender’s spot just in time for Summerslam.
Last Man Standing
Braun Strowman vs. Bobby Lashley
Colin: Their Raw segment was awesome but I’m still not that into this program. I mean, Strowman has been losing the matches that matter the most and Lashley hasn’t done anything special since his return. Hopefully some big spots here. Strowman wins.
Tom: I’m not excited for this match. Feels like we have had this too much. Prove me wrong WWE that it will be good. I have to make a pick, so Strowman. Vince likes a big sweaty man.
Magnum: I really don’t think they can top what happened on Raw a few weeks back. That was spectacular. I’m wondering if there will be some kind of a bait and switch here. Since Heyman is a Braun Strowman guy, I’m going to pick him to win.
No Holds Barred Tag Team Match
The Undertaker and Roman Reigns vs. Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre
Colin: This program needs to end and Shane needs to stop having a match at every show. It’s not cool anymore. Remember how happy we were when he returned? God how things have changed since then. I don’t mind Shane, but I don’t want to see him wrestle every show. Reigns and Taker for the win.
Tom: This match is just a little more interesting to me than the Lashley and Strowman match. I want either Roman or Undertaker to turn on each other, but with a new t-shirt on WWEShop.com, I don’t see that happening. It’ll be a dog party in the yard tonight as The Undertaker and Reigns win.
Magnum: I think my favorite moment during the whole Shane push was a few weeks back, when the fans started chanting “NO MORE SHANE!” I’m still not 100% sure that Shane got the hint – either way, “Stone Cold” Kevin Owens is picking up steam, so gimme a HELL YEAH and a Stunner to Shane to be the difference. The Dead Man and The Big Dog take the victory.
WWE Championship Match
Kofi Kingston (c) vs. Samoa Joe
Colin: I fully expect Kofi to keep the WWE title heading into the first Smackdown on FOX. I like Joe, he deserves a big title run, but it won’t be this Sunday. Kofi wins, no cash-in.
Tom: I like Joe. He is a good heel. He deserves a run as champ to see how it turn out. Also the plucky underdog Kofi can last so long. Kofi will tap to the coquina clutch and Samoa Joe is your new WWE Champion.
Magnum: I’m pretty sure that AJ & The Club will be gunning for the title at Summerslam, so give me Kofi to retain the title.
Last Chance Winners Take All – Extreme Rules Mixed Match
At Stake – WWE Universal Championship and WWE Raw Women’s Championship
Seth Rollins (c) and Becky Lynch (c) vs. Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans
Colin: I can’t see Baron Corbin ever as a WWE or Universal champion. Unless WWE wants a riot, I don’t think they would go in that direction. Plus, after the beat down on Raw, I fully expect everyone’s favorite couple at the moment to retain their respective titles. Rollins and Lynch win.
Tom: Like Taker/Reigns…unless Rollins or Lynch turn on each other, then I’m not too interested in this story line. To make my pick interesting, I see Rollins hitting the curb stomp on Corbin and then Lynch locking in the Dis-arm-her for the tap out. Becky will take winner takes all literally and she will walk out as WWE Universal Championship and WWE Raw Women’s Championship. Becky Two Belts is back again.
Magnum: Tom, you’ve officially gone insane. 😀 I don’t think she can legally win both titles that way. I know Vince doesn’t want to hear this, but Baron Corbin as Seth’s top challenger (after Seth defeated Brock Lesnar) is a complete joke. End this madness now. Seth and Becky retain…
but…I am pretty sure Vince has something else up his sleeve. Lesnar vs. Seth in a rematch for the title at Summerslam sounds likely, so they could sow the seeds right now by having the cash-in go down. Since we’re not putting any points on the line, I’ll take a stab at calling the cash-in TONIGHT! Lesnar leaves as the Universal Champion.
Well there you have it fans! Enjoy the show tonight! Let us know your thoughts and picks on Twitter. See you at Summerslam! @TheMagnumDA signing off.
Extreme Rules is just hours away and we can provide you all the latest odds for all 10 matches on the card. Odds are most likely to change as the event gets nearer to bell time.
The Universal champion and Raw Women’s champion – Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch – remain favorites to retain their respective titles tonight with odds of 1/9 while Baron Corbin and his tag team partner Lacey Evans are at 5/1 for the upset. For other sports bet like football, you may want to know the info about the stadium on where the players will be on the stage and defend their title.
Kofi Kingston is also favorite to keep the WWE title with his odds at 1/4 while number one contender Samoa Joe is at 11/4 to win. Smackdown Women’s champion Bayley is 2/5 to retain her title against Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross who are 7/4 in this handicap match. United States champion Ricochet is 1/2 favorite to retain the title and his opponent AJ Styles is 6/4. The Cruiserweight title is also looking to staying with its current holder as Drew Gulak is 1/7 favorite against Tony Nese who is at a distant 4/1.
Both Raw and Smackdown Tag Team titles will be defended at Extreme Rules tonight. Daniel Bryan and Rowan are 5/6 favorites to hold on to their Smackdown titles while their opponents Heavy Machinery and The New Day are both at 5/2. The Revival are 8/13 favorites in their quest to keep the Raw titles while The Usos are at 6/5.
In other non-title matches, The Undertaker and Roman Reigns are 4/11 favorites against Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon who are at 2/1, Braun Strowman at 4/7 favorite to beat Bobby Lashley who is at 5/4 in the last man standing match, and Aleister Black is 1/12 favorite against Cesaro who is at 13/2.
Britt Baker confirmed on Twitter that she suffered a concussion during her Buy-In pre-show match at Fight For The Fallen yesterday.
Baker teamed up with Riho and lost the match against Shoko Nakajima and Bea Priestley. During the match, Baker went to tag Riho but ran to the wrong corner and tried to tag Nakajima. Nakajima took a step backward and then Baker realized her mistake and ran to the opposite corner.
“What’s Britt doing?” asked the announcer as fans lightly chanted “You f**ked up!”
Baker thanked referee Aubrey Edwards who took care of her when they left the venue and checked on her throughout the night.
All Elite Wrestling presented a check of $150,000 to the Victim Assistance Advisory Council yesterday at the conclusion of Fight For The Fallen. Even Shahid Khan, the Jacksonville Jaguars and AEW owner, made it in the ring for the presentation, along with Cody and Dustin Rhodes, Brandi, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and others.
From the 150 grand, $110,000 was a donation from AEW while the rest came from different people associated with the promotion.
The Mayor’s Victim Assistance Advisory Council coordinates and encourages cooperative efforts among social service, criminal justice, mental health and other agencies to provide assistance to crime victims and their families.
Fight For The Fallen was dedicated to those victims of gun violence, hence the name chosen for the show. AEW President Tony Khan said that the plan is to hold the show yearly.
Originally, it was said that all proceeds from gate money will go to the VAAC but it looks like only a percentage of it went that way.

The world premiere of Hobbs & Shaw, the latest movie of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson took place yesterday in Hollywood, California in a star-studded event. WWE Superstar Roman Reigns was also in attendance.
The movie, a spin-off from the Fast & Furious franchise, will be officially released in theaters on August 2 but the marketing machine is already at full speed ahead of the release date.
Directed by David Leitch, Hobbs & Shaw also features Jason Statham, Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, and Helen Mirren in the leading roles. The movie is expected to be its own franchise for Universal Pictures and this first installment will see action from Los Angeles to London and from the toxic wasteland of Chernobyl to the lush beauty of Samoa.
Universal is certainly behind the project and with a $200 million budget, expectations are very high.
You can see the footage from the world premiere in Hollywood below.
The Monday Night Raw Executive Director Paul Heyman made a surprise appearance at the EVOLVE 10th year anniversary show last night which aired live on the WWE Network.
Returning to the 2300 Arena – formerly known as the ECW Arena – for the first time in two decades, Heyman got a huge “EC Dub” and “Holy sh!t” and “Welcome back” chants from the fans.
“To be blunt, I’m honored, and I’m privileged to be back home,” Heyman said, to more “EC Dub” chants. Heyman said that he doesn’t do conventions or do guest appearances and he wasn’t even invited to be part of this show, a comment which got boos from the fans. Heyman said that they knew he always turned down invites so they didn’t bother to invite him but he asked to come this time around.
Heyman said that the reason he asked to come was because the fans, this promotion, and that locker room is the future of the business. Coming here, he will know more about the future than he ever did before coming through the entrance earlier in the day.
The former ECW boss then asked to hang around a bit more so he can make the ring introductions for the Austin Theory vs JD Drake title unification match.
EVOLVE presented its 10th year anniversary show – EVOLVE 131 – yesterday at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the show streamed live on the WWE Network, the first time that WWE streamed a show for a promotion that they do not own. The results are as follows:
Josh Briggs defeated Anthony Greene; Stephen Wolf defeated Harlem Brovado, Sean Maluta and Curt Stallion in a four-way match; Arturo Ruas defeated Anthony Henry; Brandi Lauren defeated Shotzi Blackheart; Babatunde defeated Colby Corino; AR Fox and Leon Ruff defeated Eddie Kingston and Joe Gacy to win the EVOLVE Tag Team titles; Matt Riddle defeated Drew Gulak; Austin Theory defeated JD Drake to retain the EVOLVE title and also win the WWN title; Adam Cole defeated Akira Tozawa to retain the NXT title.
Here are the results from Fight For The Fallen which took place from the Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida yesterday. The show is available for replay on B/R Live and FITE.TV.
Sonny Kiss defeated Peter Avalon in pre-show; Shoko Nakajima and Bea Priestley defeated Dr. Britt Baker and Riho in the pre-show; MJF, Sammy Guevara and Shawn Spears defeated Jimmy Havoc, Darby Allin and Joey Janela; Brandi Rhodes defeated Allie; The Dark Order defeated Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy and Jack Evans and Angelico to advance to All Out for a shot at getting a Bye in the AEW Tag Team title tournament; Hangman Paige defeated Kip Sabian; The Lucha Bros defeated SCU; Kenny Omega defeated Cima; The Young Bucks defeated Cody and Dustin Rhodes.
Jeff Hardy’s problems with alcohol continue as he was arrested yesterday in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina by the Myrtle Beach Police Department.
Hardy, currently recovering from knee surgery, was arrested and charged with public intoxication and impairment according to TMZ.COM. TMZ says that they have no news on what led to his arrest but the former WWE champion was released on less than a $200 bond.
Last year, he was also arrested for a DWI in North Carolina and was involved in a car crash.
We are just over 24 hours away from Extreme Rules and today we take a look at the odds of the top three matches of the card. A full run down of all the matches and their respective betting odds will be available tomorrow.
The WWE Universal and Raw Women’s titles will be on the line in the same match for the first time ever as Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch defend against Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans. The champions are currently 1/6 favorites to walk out of Philadelphia still with their titles while Corbin and Evans are at 7/2 for the big upset.
The odds are also in favor of the current WWE champion Kofi Kingston who is at 1/4 to retain the gold against Samoa Joe. Joe is currently at 11/4 to win in this match.
The Undertaker steps back in the ring to tag team with his former WrestleMania 33 opponent Roman Reigns to take on Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon. The team of Taker and Reigns are at 1/4 favorites while McInytre and McMahon are 5/2 to win.
Impact World champion Brian Cage tied the knot yesterday with fellow Impact Wrestling star and backstage interview Melissa Santos.
Cage, 35, and Santos, also 35, got hitched at the Kellogg House in Pomona, California after getting engaged seven months ago when Cage proposed to her at a wrestling event. Several colleagues of the two, including Johnny Impact and his wife Taya Valkyrie, Killer Kross and girlfriend Scarlett Bordeaux, Tessa Blanchard, Sami Callihan, Rich Swann and wife Su Yung, Joey Ryan, and many others attended the wedding.
Santos is also a wrestler and was recently the announcer for Lucha Underground. She will be the ring announcer for AAA’s shows in Madison Square Garden in New York and The Forum in Inglewood later this year.
Jon Moxley is evidently absent from the AEW Fight For The Fallen card but there’s a good reason for that. Moxley just participated in night two of the New Japan Pro Wrestling G1 Climax 29 tournament in Tokyo today.
Moxley, the current IWGP United States champion, wrestled Taichi in the sixth match on the card and won the match with his Death Rider finishing move, a variation of his Dirty Deeds old finisher.
The former WWE champion will continue to wrestle for NJPW until All Elite Wrestling goes full time this October with weekly television shows. Moxley wrestled his first match for AEW at Fyter Fest, defeating Joey Janela in an unsanctioned bout which headlined the show.
AXS TV will air five matches from today’s G1 Climax event including Moxley’s match against Taichi. NJPW on AXS TV starts at 9PM ET.
Live tonight from the Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida, All Elite Wrestling presents Fight For The Fallen on B/R Live and FITE.TV. The full card is as follows:
Cody and Dustin Rhodes vs The Young Bucks; Kenny Omega vs Cima; Adam Page vs Kip Sabian; Brandi Rhodes vs Allie; Jimmy Havoc, Darby Allin, and Joey Janela vs MJF, Sammy Guevara, and Shawn Spears in a six-man tag team match; SoCal Uncensored vs The Lucha Bros; Sonny Kiss vs Peter Avalon; The Dark Order vs Angelico and Jack Evans vs Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus in a three-way tag team match to advance to All Out for an opportunity at a first round bye in the AEW World Tag Team titles tournament; Britt Baker and Riho vs Bea Priestley and Shoko Nakajima in the Buy-In show.
Proceeds from the gate will go to Jacksonville’s Victim Assistance Advisory Council to help victims of violent crimes.
WWE Studios has started casting for the upcoming series Fight Like A Girl, a series which was officially announced on Thursday in association with Quibi, a mobile media technology platform.
For casting, WWE is looking for women to go on individual journeys of self improvement as they will live, train, and learn life lessons over a 10-week period.
Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon will be pairing a WWE Superstar with each woman as contestants learn to become tougher, stronger, and healthier versions of their former selves. The series will filmed at the WWE Performance Center with each episode featuring a transformation and a reveal as these women change their lives forever.
All applicants will be required to upload a photo and record a video explaining why they would be a great fit for the series.
It’s a big night for everyone involved with the EVOLVE promotion as they celebrate their 10th anniversary event tonight live from the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and for the first time ever, streaming live on the WWE Network.
WWE raised some eyebrows when the announcement came that they would be giving EVOLVE their platform to go head-to-head with AEW’s Fight For The Fallen event with both shows starting within 30 minutes of each other.
A couple of WWE Superstars who have a history with EVOLVE are also participating in tonight’s event. With WWE in town for tomorrow’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view, it’s probable that there will be very familiar faces backstage as well and who knows, maybe a surprise or two on the broadcast.
The card for EVOLVE 131 tonight includes: Austin Theory vs JD Drake in a winner take all match for both EVOLVE and WWN titles; Adam Cole vs Akira Tozawa for the NXT title; Eddie Kingston and Joe Gacy vs AR Fox and Leon Ruff for the EVOLVE Tag Team titles; Matt Riddle vs Drew Gulak; Anthony Henry vs Arturo Ruas; Shotzi Blackheart vs Brandi Lauren; Babatunde vs Colby Corino; Curt Stallion vs Sean Mulata vs Stephen Wolf vs Harlem Bravado in a fatal four way match; and Josh Briggs vs Anthony Greene.
