The WrestleMania 35 on-sale party which was scheduled for the MetLife Stadium today has been cancelled due to the forecast of bad weather.
It is supposed to rain all day in East Rutherford with temperatures near freezing so holding an outdoor event isn’t such a great idea.
Big Show, Sami Zayn, Alicia Fox, Apollo Crews, Mojo Rawley, WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart and Smackdown GM Paige were all scheduled to appear to sign autographs and three matches were set to take place, they have great decoration for this, from the tablecloths bulk to get all the autographs tables ready.
The WrestleMania pre-sale is still ongoing and tickets will be open for general public tomorrow at 10AM EST on Ticketmaster.com.
The Survivor Series go-home episode of Raw drew an average of 2,449,000 viewers, an increase of just 8,000 viewers from last week’s show.
Hour one started with 2,761,000 viewers, followed by 2,446,000 in the second hour, and then down to 2,142,000 for the third and final hour. Raw lost a whopping 619,000 viewers from hour one to hour three, one of the biggest drops ever recorded for the show.
Raw was #5, #6, and #7 in the top 50 cable chart among the 18-49 demographic and was #8 in overall viewership for the night. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)
Week nine of season two of Mixed Match Challenge saw two teams losing their perfect undefeated record as the only four teams with a 3-0 record went against each other.
In the first match of the show, the team of Braun Strowman and Ember Moon defeated Bobby Lashley and Mickie James and in the second match, Jeff Hardy replaced AJ Styles to team up with Charlotte Flair and defeated The Miz and Asuka.
This was the first defeat for The Miz and Asuka on the show dating back to season one where they were the eventual winners. Strowman/Moon and Styles/Flair move to a 4-0 record while Lashley/James and Miz/Asuka go to 3-1. AJ Styles will return for his next match on MMC so this was only a one-time thing with Jeff Hardy.
While this week it was the battle of the undefeated teams, next week it is the battle of the always-defeated teams. Bobby Roode and Natalya will face Jinder Mahal and Alicia Fox and Rusev and Lana take on R-Truth and Carmella. All four teams have a 0-3 record and it looks like whoever loses in those two matches will be eliminated.
Ronda Rousey went on a war path against Becky Lynch in an intense post on Instagram as the Raw Women’s champion continued to taunt the Smackdown Women’s champion on social media.
Quoting a tweet from UFC fighter Nate Diaz which reads, “If u can’t make it to war u lose the war,” Rousey said she was “sorry” to hear that Lynch would not be showing up for her “legally arranged ass whooping” at the Survivor Series this Sunday.
“Unfortunately now everyone knows if someone hauls off and punches you for real, your face implodes,” Rousey continued, telling Lynch to keep practicing her “tough guy faces” in the mirror as that should be a very effective way of physical therapy.
Rousey told Becky to keep watching Netflix or whatever the “Millennial Man” does on her free time and said that she’s not the cowardly-type of person so she won’t be ambushing her “until your figurative balls have dropped and you’re finally ready for your comeuppance!”
Rousey continued writing telling Lynch to let her know when her “boo boos” are done healing and ready for her so she can serve her ass on a silver platter.
She then turned her attention on her new opponent, Charlotte Flair. “I do have to admit, The Millennial Man is stunningly conniving. She poked the bear and ran like a bat outta hell when the bear awoke. Feeding me her favorite frienemy and fellow #FAUXhorsewoman @charlottewwe is a new level of manipulative cowardice, even for The Millennial Man.”
Rousey admitted that a match between her and Charlotte is a “super fight” and she always wanted to be in the ring with her but she’s just a stand-in for the beating Lynch has coming to her.
Lynch did not stay silent for long though. Calling her “Ronnie,” Lynch said that when her face broke, she got up and owned her then showed up the next day looking to fight some more. “When you got your face broke you hid for a year under your blankie. Your mind is as weak as your jaw, & I’m going to move heaven & earth to come destroy them both.” Wow!
Episode nine of season eight of Total Divas airs tonight on E! with an episode titled A Sisterhood Beyond Blood.
The synopsis for tonight’s broadcast reads, “After a rocky first night, Trinity joins The Bellas, Nattie, Nia, Paige and Lana in Tahoe, where they bond in a way they never have before. From Nicole’s fear of commitment, to Paige’s fear of not knowing how to swim, the girls conquer their fears together. All the while, Brie tries to convince the girls that the lake monster “Tahoe Tessy” is indeed real.”

The full trailer for the Fighting With My Family movie which revolves around Paige and her family has been released.
The film features Florence Pugh as Paige, Jack Lowden as her brother Zac and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson playing himself. Lena Headey and Nick Frost play the role of Paige’s parents. Vince Vaughn is also in the film and plays the role of a WWE official in the talent department recruiting wrestlers. It is produced by Dwayne Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions in association with WWE Studios.
Originally the movie was supposed to come out in late 2018 and then it was changed to March 2019. Now, the trailer shows a February 2019 release.
The big scene when Paige wins the Divas title from AJ Lee was shot right after an episode of Monday Night Raw in February 2017 with Thea Trinidad, now known as Zelina Vega, playing the role of AJ Lee and Tessa Blanchard as the stunt double for Pugh to film the wrestling moves.
“Hey…we don’t deliver mail, things happen,” Nia Jax said in a tweet showing her bruised hand after nearly knocking out Becky Lynch on Raw. And in typical heel fashion, she added, “Is anyone gonna ask me about how my fist feels?”
The post did not go down well with the Smackdown Women’s champion who reminded Jax that after her sucker punch, she got back up and destroyed the whole roster anyway! “They won’t let me fight, but I’ll get back up from that too. It’s what I do,” Lynch wrote in response to the tweet Jax wrote.
“So enjoy your one free shot, because as bad as my memory is now, I haven’t forgotten you, bitch,” she continued!
Obviously the injury wasn’t planned and it was one of those accidental things that sometimes do happen in a wrestling ring when everyone is throwing punches around. Lynch was thought to be okay afterward despite the broken nose but once she tested positive for the concussion, it was clear that she would not be able to compete this Sunday.
With Daniel Bryan now WWE champion and facing Brock Lesnar at the Survivor Series, an empty spot was created in the Smackdown men’s team.
The Miz had to choose a replacement for Bryan before the main event as Bryan was pulled out of the team anyway. Miz chose Jeff Hardy as the last member of Team Smackdown after he defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas.
The full Smackdown Survivor Series team now features The Miz, Shane McMahon, Rey Mysterio, Samoa Joe, and Jeff Hardy.
Meanwhile, three other tag teams have joined The Usos and The New Day for the 10-man elimination tag team match. The three teams are SAnitY, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, and The Colons.
With Charlotte Flair also moving to a solo match against Ronda Rousey, there is now an empty spot in the Smackdown women’s Survivor Series team. No replacement has been announced at time of this writing. The four females on the team are Asuka, Carmella, Naomi, and Sonya Deville.
Becky Lynch was officially pulled from the Survivor Series match against Ronda Rousey last night on Smackdown.
Lynch said that Rousey is the luckiest woman on the planet and would still kick Rousey’s ass if they let her despite the injuries she suffered on Raw.
The Smackdown Women’s champion then chose her replacement…her former best friend and arch rival Charlotte Flair. Before leaving, Lynch told Flair to make Rousey tap and then gave her a hug.
WWE.COM wrote that Lynch sustained a broken face and a severe concussion thanks to an accidental elbow from Nia Jax during the Smackdown women’s invasion on Raw.
AJ Styles’ reign as WWE champion came to a surprise close last night on Smackdown as Daniel Bryan defeated Styles to win the WWE title and will now face Brock Lesnar at the Survivor Series.
Paul Heyman was the instigator for the whole thing as he faced Styles in the opening segment of the show and told him he’s nearly as good as Daniel Bryan. Styles reminded Heyman that he made Bryan tap out on Smackdown a couple of weeks ago which led to Bryan coming out for a brawl.
The finish of the match came when Styles hit the Phenomenal Forearm but Bryan moved away and he hit the referee. Bryan then low-blowed AJ and hit the running the knee and covered him. After the match, Bryan kept attacking Styles which might signify a possible heel turn.
This is Daniel Bryan’s first title since he returned to active competition. The last time he held the WWE title in 2014 he had to surrender it two months after winning it due to the concussions.
After leading the Smackdown women’s roster invasion on Raw, Becky Lynch now finds herself off the Survivor Series card after she was apparently diagnosed with a concussion and broken nose. Multiple sources are reporting that there will be a change in the match and Lynch will not be wrestling.
Lynch, who has reinvented herself as a badass Stone Cold-type persona, was supposed to wrestle the Raw Women’s champion Ronda Rousey and the program between the two has been the most interesting one leading to the Survivor Series.
But as fate would have it, it wasn’t meant to be, at least not at this time. Lynch was on the receiving end of an accidental elbow to the face by Nia Jax which busted her open the hard way. Lynch carried on and her “Irish war paint” – as she described it – made for an even more dramatic look on television.
The website Fightful.com was the first one the break the news and Dave Meltzer of the Observer followed it by saying that Becky has not been cleared to wrestle but WWE has not officially confirmed it yet either.
If there’s a change to the match, it will happen tonight on Smackdown.
Another WWE Superstar, this time Paige, had to resort to shooting down more unfounded rumors after word began spreading online that she had been cleared to wrestle.
Paige quickly denied these rumors saying, “Nope. I’m not. At all. One more knock to my neck could result in paralysis.” She suggested that fans should not read “facts” on the internet and while she wishes that the news was true, “it’s 100% not.”
Paige retired the day after WrestleMania 34 during Monday Night Raw. She had been injured again in December of last year and had not wrestle since due to neck problems. She was appointed Smackdown General Manager on the post-WrestleMania Smackdown, replacing Daniel Bryan who resumed his in-ring wrestling career.
Alexa Bliss also used Twitter to shoot down rumors that she was retiring due to concussions that are currently keeping her away from in-ring action.

After taking out Ronda Rousey with the Disarm-her backstage, the Smackdown Women’s champion Becky Lynch led a full-on Smackdown assault on the Raw women in an explosive closing segment on Raw.
Lynch came out alone to confront the Raw women but the Smackdown women’s roster came out in full force to attack the Raw ladies. Lana, Asuka, Charlotte Flair, Carmella, Naomi, The IIconics, and others all beat up the Raw women until Ronda Rousey came out to save the day to a big pop from the crowd.
But Lynch, who had a busted up nose and was bleeding all over the place, attacked the one-armed Rousey with a chair as fans chanted for Becky and “one more time.” As the Smackdown women retreated to the back through the stands, Rousey was left alone in the middle of the ring holding her arm as fans continued their “Becky! Becky!” chants.
Vacations always seem to be times of high stress and high drama for the Divas, and this week’s trip to Lake Tahoe was no exception.
Nikki and Brie decided that all of the girls needed to spend time together in order to become more bonded in light of the major advances that the women’s division has made in recent months. The twins chose Lake Tahoe because it is where they spent their childhood vacations with their now deceased grandfather.
So, the twins were relying on the supposed magic of the area to provide them and their fellow Divas with some much needed spiritual healing. However, their hopes were dashed in short order. However, Brie was partially responsible for the unraveling of their plans. Brie decided to play a prank on Lana. Apparently, Lana has complained in past vacations that the other Divas have stuck Lana with rooms that have bad views, or are in some way unsatisfactory so Brie decided to tell Lana that she didn’t even have a room, and was going to have to sleep on a pullout bed in the living room. Lana was furious and insisted on being allowed to share a room with someone.
The drama was compounded when Lana invaded the room that Paige was sharing with Nia Jax. Paige and Lana have never had a good relationship and, as we all know, Paige has been through a lot in the past year. So, apparently having Lana invade her room and then repeatedly refuse to leave, even after Paige asked her to leave caused Paige to snap. Paige said, “I can’t stand you.”
This caused Lana to storm out of the rented house threatening to leave. At this point, I don’t know why Brie didn’t just let Lana in on the joke and tell her that she actually had a room with a decent bed and wouldn’t have to use the pullout bed. Instead, the remaining girls, Nicole, Brie, Natalya, and Nia spent time trying to get the two to apologize to one another, which they eventually did, but not before Lana splashed a drink in Paige’s face.
Meanwhile, Naomi was going on a little vacation of her own before joining her friends in in Lake Tahoe. Naomi decided to visit Atlanta in order to spend time with family. While she was there, she couldn’t help but notice that Atlanta had a much larger number of things to do than Pensacola, where she has just recently moved with her with her husband, Jimmy Uso.
Since they have noticed Naomi’s discontent; her family suggested that she should purchase an apartment in Atlanta for weekend getaways. Naomi even looked at places with the realtor. The only problem is that Naomi got all excited, and failed to consult Jimmy. Once she did consult Jimmy, he was less than thrilled with her idea. In fact, he saw the plan as an attempt by Naomi to get away from him. No one knows how this disagreement will end, but it will certainly add more drama to the next episode of Total Divas.
In a good twist that makes winning Mixed Match Challenge more meaningful, WWE announced that the winners of season two will enter #30 in the 2019 Royal Rumble in their respective matches.
The winners will be decided in a final match at the TLC pay-per-view next month on December 16 and WWE is also saying that whoever wins will get a paid vacation to anywhere in the world.
Tonight’s MMC will be interesting as the four undefeated teams left in the tournament will face each other so two teams will get a 1 in their L column after tonight. The undefeated teams are Lashley and James, Strowman and Moon, Miz and Asuka, and Styles and Flair.
All three Raw Survivor Series teams were completed yesterday, just days away from the pay-per-view. The road to the Survivor Series started late this year due to the Crown Jewel pay-per-view scheduled close to the show.
The men’s team will be captained by Baron Corbin, who will not wrestle, and will include Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre and the two new additions from yesterday – Lashley and Finn Balor.
The women’s team will have Alexa Bliss as captain but just like Corbin, she won’t be wrestling. The team includes Mickie James, Natalya, Ruby Riott, Tamina, and Nia Jax.
In the tag team match, Bobby Roode and Chad Gable won the right to be team captains and they will be joined by The Revival, The B-Team, The Ascension, and Lucha House Party.
Smackdown’s men’s and women’s teams have been announced already but there are still three open spots left in the tag team match.
The pre-sale for WrestleMania 35 tickets will start on Wednesday with a total of three different pre-sales listed.
On November 14 at 10AM EST, the Internet pre-sale and the Collector Ticket pre-sale will start and will go through Thursday, November 15 at 10PM EST. Platinum tickets pre-sale will start on Thursday at 10AM EST and ends 12 hours later. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10AM EST.
Ticket prices will be $35, $50, $75, $100, $150, $200, $250, $300, $400, $600, $850, $1,000, $2,000, and $2,500.
We will post the pre-sale codes as soon as we have them confirmed.
Tonight’s Monday Night Raw From Kansas City, Missouri will have both Stephanie McMahon and the new Universal champion Brock Lesnar appearing.
McMahon will be on hand to address the “World Cup controversy” from Crown Jewel, where her brother Shane McMahon defeated Dolph Ziggler in the final of the tournament to win the cup for Smackdown.
Meanwhile, the new WWE Universal champion will make his first appearance on the show with the title since he won it at Crown Jewel and considering Survivor Series is just a week away, his match with AJ Styles will certainly be addressed.
Speaking of the Survivor Series, the Raw women’s team still has zero members, although it does have a captain whose name is Alexa Bliss. Bliss won’t wrestle but she needs to choose five Superstars to take on the Smackdown team this Sunday. And two more need to join the Raw men’s Survivor Series team after Strowman, McIntyre, and Ziggler was announced last week.
