The Bloodline is shown walking in the back with The Usos, Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn all talking and joking around.

Becky Lynch comes to the ring first. Becky says The Man should be out with the people and she jumps over the barricade and went through the crowd, even talking to some of the fans and as she talks, Bayley comes out. Bayley was trying to get Becky in the ring to fight her and Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky come from behind her in the crowd and attacks Becky and Bayley comes out to help but Becky fights back in a concession area. Officials finally arrived to break it up.

Rhea Ripley VS. “Michin” Mia Yim

Mia had Rhea down and Dominik got up on the apron and Mia dumped Dominik in the ring, then before she did anything Rhea went back in and attacked Mia. AJ Styles comes out to even the odds with Dominik being in the ring. The rest of the Judgment Day comes out and the rest of the O.C. And as the Judgment Day runs up the ramp, AJ says he thought this was over, but it will end tonight: four vs four, right here, right now.

The O.C. VS. The Judgment Day

After Mia slammed Finn, she went to suplex or DDT Dominik, but Rhea got back in the ring and kicked her knee and hit Riptide and pinned her for the win.

Winners: The Judgment Day

They show an earlier interview with the returning Street Profits, and they will face the Alpha Academy tonight and Gable came in and did the “shoosh please” and Dawkins tells Gable he looks like the elf on the shelf. The Street Profits beat the Alpha Academy before, and it will be no different tonight because the Street Profits are up, and they want the smoke.

Out to the ring next are The Usos, Solo Sikoa and Sami Zayn. As the Usos and Sami hug and try to get Solo to join them, Kevin Owens comes out. Kevin says he is not here to fight him, he is just done with him. Jey takes the microphone and says if you have a problem with Sami Zayn, you have a problem with Jey Uso. Kevin says that’s fine. He said he was done with Sami but never said anything about beating Jey Uso. They agreed to a match for later tonight.

Candice LaRae was interviewed in the back and said she is ready for her match tonight with Dakota Kai.

Byron Saxton interviews Elias and Matt Riddle and they talked about teaming up and going after the tag team championships and the Bloodline comes in and tells them they will never be tag team champions then agreed to a match anytime any place.

Montez hits the frog splash on Gable for the win.

Winners: The Street Profits

The new United States champion Austin Theory comes to the ring. He says he never wants to be called a kid again after beating Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley at the same time. He then says he is not the future, he is now the face of Monday Night Raw. As Theory continued, Seth Rollins comes out. Seth says shut your mouth and let them sing and the crowd sings Rollins entrance music. Seth says deep down in his soul he knows Monday Nights belongs to Rollins.

Seth says before he goes, he only got one thing left to say to him: Congratulations kid. Rollins then tried to get Theory to hit him. Theory says he will fight him but on the champ’s time. Then said he is not his damn kid and walks out of the ring.

The Miz said he reinjured his hand so the match cannot go on. Adam Pearce said we are not doing this, and the match is taking place tonight as he wasn’t even holding the right hand.

Lumis caught The Miz in his choke hold. The Miz taps out. The Miz now has to pay Dexter what he owes him and Dexter signs his WWE contract offered to him by Adam Pearce.

Winner: Candice LeRae

Kevin Owens VS. Jey Uso

Winner: Kevin Owens

WWE holding two-day tryout at IMG Academy in Florida this week

WWE is holding a two-day tryout on Wednesday and Thursday at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, according to Sports Illustrated. WWE is expecting up to 35 athletes participating in this latest tryout.

“There are countless examples of top talent that came into the business via college sports, but there hasn’t always been a system built out,” WWE’s Head of Talent Operations and Strategy James Kimball told SI. “That’s what we’re trying to create here, a true talent development pathway into WWE for college athletes.”

Kimball said that the company is just “scratching the surface” when it comes to recruiting college athletes and they’ve been working on this for a year, and will take years to master.

“We’re adding quality and depth, and the work is just starting with college athletes nationwide,” he continued, noting that WWE wants to have a clear schedule and calendar in place as many college athletes have many options.

“We’re building. This a long-term investment strategy, and we’re all really excited about the potential,” Kimball concluded.

WWE has two more tryouts planned after this one so far, one in Nigeria in February and one in Los Angeles during WrestleMania week.

Secrets when selecting the best online casino site

As the number of people playing online casino games continues to rise, more casinos are launching. In addition to the well-established ones, new and better casinos are joining this industry. So if it is your first time finding a suitable casino, this may be a challenging decision for you to make. Different casinos also offer various incentives to their clients. That way, ensure you compare other websites and choose the most ideal for your gaming needs. Below are essential guidelines to help you find the best casino sites.

  1. Licensing

This is one of the requirements before choosing your online casino. The state regulates all online gaming activities. Therefore to ensure that players’ interests are protected, the regulators require that the casino operators are permitted and licensed before offering this service.

Another advantage of choosing a licensed casino is that players will get legitimate services. Although many states have allowed online gaming, some are yet to. If you find an unlicensed casino, this could be because they’re not allowed to operate. Hence they are providing illegal services, avoid such sites. Choose the best casino site (카지노사이트) that displays a copy of their license on their website. This is a vital sign that the site is legit. Make sure you understand the online gaming laws in your state. This way, you’ll be able to identify a compliant website.

  1. Do Proper Research

Besides following government regulations, casino operators must follow the gaming industry policies. First, you have to consider the casino’s safety. Most players are worried about the safety of their credit card and personal details. These are some essential details that a player must post on their account before they start to play. By all means, this information has to be protected from unauthorized access. Some untrustworthy casinos may sell this information to the highest bidders. You may lose money in fraudulent deals if this information is not handled correctly. So be very careful who you trust with these crucial details.

Always learn more about the casino’s reputation. Check online reviews, testimonials, and feedback from others. Such details can guide you to find a site that offers its player’s the highest odds and pays on time.

  1. Consider Games Variety

This is one of the vital features that top-quality casinos display. Choose a casino that offers you a variety of games. Most importantly, consider a casino that offers the games you are familiar with and new ones you can learn to play and harness your gaming skills. In addition, find sites that offer free games. This way, players can practice for free, perfect their skills, and be the best.

In addition, you should find a gaming provider like a casino site (카지노사이트) that puts the best security measures in place. This includes using the encrypted system and SSL certification.

In addition, the best casinos use an authorization system to ensure all players registering at their casino are of legal age. This information is ideal when finding the most secure website. Also, consider a website that uses firewalls to protect the website from all cyber-attacks.

Jai Vidal become the first out gay male wrestler to sign with Impact

Jai Vidal has become the first out gay male wrestler to sign with Impact Wrestling. Vidal announced the news himself during an episode of the Outsports podcast LGBT In The Ring.

“I’ve been in the business going on seven years. In February, it’ll be seven years,” Vidal said in a story published on OutSports.com. “All the times that it’s been hard to pay the bills, it’s all finally worth it.”

Vidal was recently introduced to the Impact Wrestling audience as Gisele Shaw’s executive stylist and content creator. Shaw herself came out as transgender in June of this year.

“When I got the call to sign with Impact, I had actually just come back to Florida from the Impact show in Vegas,” he continued. “I was running on zero sleep. I got back and saw the voicemail and called them right back.”

Impact Wrestling Executive Vice President Scott D’Amore said that the company is excited to sign Vidal, calling him a talented and charismatic wrestler who brings a diverse skill-set to the ring.

“We’re proud to welcome another member of the LGBTQ community to the IMPACT roster and further our outreach into that community, which has a deep fanbase for pro wrestling.”

Ricky Steamboat returns to the ring in six-man tag match with FTR

Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat has a successful return to the ring last night, winning the six-man tag match he was involved in at the Big Time Wrestling-promoted event titled Return of the Dragon.

Steamboat teamed up with FTR to take on Jay Lethal as Black Machismo, Brock Anderson, and former NWA champion Nick Aldis with Arn Anderson in their corner.

Steamboat, Harwood, and Wheeler all got their opponents in separate figure four leglocks for the win after all tapped out.

“I watched from the apron in amazement tonight. It had nothing to do with his moves or his athleticism,” tweeted Harwood after the match. “I was in awe of the little things he did. Things that made millions fall in absolute love with Ricky. They all reacted to the man; not the moves. I felt inferior tonight.”

This was the first match of Steamboat, 69, since June 2010. He had teamed up with his son Richie to take on Trent Beretta and Caylen Croft in an Florida Championship Wrestling show.

The greatest WWE Superstars of all-time

Since the early 1980s, WWE has been revolutionizing the professional wrestling business. No other wrestling company in history has had a similarly seismic impact on the industry itself and the wider entertainment world at large. However, while business people and backroom staff might have played a deeply significant role in WWE’s rise, it is the larger-than-life athletes in the ring who will be remembered as the company’s most vital life force.

From Andre the Giant to John Cena, WWE Superstars have been winning over the hearts and minds of audiences across the world for more than 40 years now. All wrestling fans have their own personal favourites, but some stars – whether thanks to their talent, charisma, or hard-work – will always burn brighter.

While many have laced up their boots and stepped into a WWE ring, only a celebrated few can count themselves among the greatest WWE Superstars of all-time. Sites like Koobit.com might be leading the way in helping fans catch a glimpse of some of WWE’s modern masters, but here’s a look at the wrestling legends who laid the groundwork for the company’s greatness.

Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan was WWE’s first great star. WWE tickets were snapped up in minutes whenever Hogan, arguably professional wrestling’s biggest icon, was in town.

Hulkamania ran wild during WWE’s Golden Era in the 1980s as cable television brought this new, exciting brand of entertainment to a whole new audience. Battling the likes of WWE legends Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, and Rowdy Roddy Piper during the height of his career, Hogan’s All-American superhero style ensured that he was a fan favourite everywhere he went.

Twice winner of the Royal Rumble, one-time Tag Team Champion, and 6-time WWE Champion, Hulk Hogan remains a household name synonymous with the sport of professional wrestling. For evidence of the Hulkster’s far-reaching impact on US culture, fans need to look no further than Hogan’s match with Andre the Giant in 1988, which was watched by 33 million people – an American television record for wrestling to this day. Understandably, Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.

Bret Hart

Canadian grappler Bret “The Hitman” Hart has always described himself as “the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be”. While this may be up for discussion, Hart is without doubt one of the greatest WWE stars of all-time. Trained by his father Stu Hart, an accomplished wrestler in his own right, the Hitman dominated the pro-wrestling scene in the early 90s, engaging in memorable battles with the likes of Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Hart, one of the most gifted technical wrestlers ever, went on to become the face of the company, winning the WWE Championship 5 times, United States Championship once, Intercontinental Championship twice, and Tag Team Championships twice. To this day, Bret Hart matches are studied by both aspiring and established pro-wrestlers, with many citing the Hitman as the reason they got into wrestling in the first place.

Trish Stratus

In 2021, WWE named Trish Stratus as the greatest female Superstar of all-time. In the early 2000s, while male wrestlers from the same era like The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Kurt Angle were carving out legendary careers, Stratus was busy leading the women’s division to new heights. Another Canadian trailblazer, the Torononian wowed audiences with her power, athleticism, and charisma, collecting a host of titles on the way, including the Women’s Championship 7 times.

In 2013, Stratus was nominated to the WWE Hall of Fame, exactly 10 years on from being named “Diva of the Decade” in 2003. Other stars might receive more plaudits, but Stratus’ impact on women’s wrestling in WWE, and across the entire pro-wrestling industry, is arguably unmatched. Having amassed an incredible body of work through the years, and setting the table for many female wrestlers to come, Stratus became the first woman to earn the Lou Thesz Award from the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2020.

The Rock

Son of former wrestler Rocky Johnson, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson entered WWE in 1996 and left the company as one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time. A towering, powerful figure, The Rock moved from the world of American football to pro-wrestling in his early twenties and never looked back.

While his speed, stature, and technical ability helped him make his mark, it is charisma that took The Rock to the top of the mountain. An electric performer who dazzled with a microphone in hand, The Rock connected with fans in a way that many other wrestlers could only dream of, adding extra drama and intrigue to every match.

Over the course of his career, The Rock was an 8-time WWE Champion, 2-time World Heavyweight Champion, 2-time Intercontinental Champion, and 5-time Tag Team Champion. After hanging up his boots, The Rock, under his real name Dwayne Johnson, moved seamlessly into Hollywood and has since starred in blockbuster movies like The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King, and Jungle Cruise.

Dwayne Johnson was named to Time magazine’s list of most influential people in 2016 and 2019. His immeasurable impact on the wrestling industry, and entertainment world at large, will continue for a long time to come.

WWE planning to host major show in India in January 2023

WWE logo

Sports-based website Sportskeeda is reporting that WWE is planning to host a major show in the country of India in January 2023.

The location of Hyderabad has been mentioned in the report, the capital and largest city of the South Indian state of Telangana. It’s unclear if this would be in a stadium or a normal arena, something that the city has both.

Meanwhile, the @WrestleVotes Twitter account adds that the dates January 18 or January 19 are being floated for an international event.

WWE taped a Superstar Spectacle specifically for the Indian market in 2021, an event which aired on India’s Republic Day on January 26.

Survivor Series: WarGames 2022 breaks records for WWE

Last night’s Survivor Series broke a few records for WWE according to Paul “Triple H” Levesque.

During the post-show press conference, Levesque announced that the show was the most-viewed Survivor Series in history as well as the highest-grossing Survivor Series show ever. 15,609 fans packed the TD Garden last night for the first WarGames show on the main roster.

Levesque also said that the show was the highest-grossing event in TD Garden history.

WWE premium live event shows have seen a big uptick both in terms of viewers as well as attendance and gate money ever since the regime change happened in July.

Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat steps back in the ring tonight after 12 years

WWE Hall of Famer Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat returns to the ring for the first time in 12 years tonight at a Big Time Wrestling event titled Return of the Dragon.

Steamboat, who last wrestled in 2010 teaming with his son Richie, will join ROH and IWGP Tag Team champions FTR in a six-man tag match against Jay Lethal, Brock Anderson, and a mystery partner. The heels will be managed by fellow WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson.

Ricky Steamboat was originally approached to be part of Ric Flair’s last match this past July but he declined the invitation.

Return of the Dragon will be held from the Dorton Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina and will stream on FITE TV.

How wrestling with compression socks was almost fatal for Colt Cabana

Colt Cabana discussed how using compression socks for his match against Chris Jericho a few weeks ago nearly had a fatal outcome for him.

Discussing the scenario on his Art of Wrestling podcast, Cabana said that he loves to wear soccer socks that go all the way up to his knee and he lost them leading up to the show.

He said he left it up until the last day to go buy a new pair and Target didn’t have any except for compression socks, which he bought without knowing the consequences.

Cabana noted how during the match he wasn’t feeling his legs and was having other complications that he first attributed to anxiety.

After the match was over, he was getting checked by the doctor backstage as he was feeling lightheaded and couldn’t breathe.

“He rips my boots off. Then I’m like, ‘Can you take my knee pads? I just feel so constricted.’ He takes my knee pads off. And then I’m like, ‘Can we get my socks off?’ And I say, ‘You know, I bought these compressions socks last night,'” Cabana recounted.

The doctor then schooled Cabana on why he should not wear compression socks for a wrestling match as they were cutting off the supply of blood to his legs, causing high blood pressure and low oxygen.

“Hopefully my wrong can help somebody in the future and you are either a current or a future pro wrestler. And you, needing socks, know just grab the regular ones,” Cabana concluded.

Sami Zayn goes from honorary to full-blown Uce at WarGames!

Sami Zayn went from an honorary Uce to a full-blown Uce last night at WarGames after clearly showing where his allegiances stand.

Saving The Usos a couple of times throughout the match, Zayn prevented the referee from counting to three when Kevin Owens hit a Stunner on Roman Reigns and went for the cover.

At that point, Jimmy Uso went for a superkick on Owens, Owens blocked it…but Zayn low-blowed his former best friend. With Reigns acknowledging Zayn’s work, Zayn hit the Helluva Kick on Owens, held him from falling down, and then placed him perfectly for Jey Uso to hit the splash for the win.

After the match, Reigns gave Zayn a big hug and that was followed by another big hug from Jey Uso, who has seemingly now accepted Zayn as part of the Bloodline family.

The Survivor Series ended with all members of the faction standing tall as Michael Cole screamed that Zayn sold his soul to the Bloodline!

WWE Survivor Series War Games PPV Pick’em report

Hello everybody! Happy Thanksgiving weekend and thank you for joining us for the Pick’em report. Tonight, for the first time EVER, we’re going to WAR!! It’s Survivor Series WAR GAMES, and tonight Colin will defend his WOPC Championship against yours truly @TheMagnumDA. We’ve got bonus questions for both War Games matches, so we will leave no doubt about who the champion is. What are we waiting for?!

ON WITH THE PICKS!!!

WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship
Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Shotzi 

Magnum: This ranks pretty low on the list of all-time Ronda Rousey appearances on PPV. The build to this has been totally unspectacular. Shotzi has been destroyed at nearly every turn. I have far more interest in a Rousey/Bazsler matchup, but of course that’s down the road. As for tonight? Ronda wins. 

Colin: I don’t think there’s anyone who thinks Shotzi has a shot in hell of winning this one. No disrespect to her, obviously, but I can’t see Ronda losing this one. I think Rousey is gonna keep it till Mania. 

AJ Styles (with The O.C. (Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson, and Mia Yim)) vs. Finn Bálor (with The Judgment Day (Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio, and Rhea Ripley)) 

Magnum:
Glad to see the Good Brothers back in the fold – I’ve gotta believe that Rey is going to have something to do with this match, especially considering what happened at the Mysterio household on Thanksgiving Day. I’m going to take AJ Styles in this one. 

Colin: Judgment Day is due for a loss. They’ve been booked strong and a loss here for Finn Balor shouldn’t hurt him. Plus, AJ needs a PPV win badly and the last time these two met each other, Balor came on top. So I’m picking AJ for the W. 

United States Championship – Triple Threat
Seth “Freakin” Rollins (c) vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Austin Theory 

Magnum: I think this will be a really good match, actually. Rollins is one of the best Triple Threat wrestlers in the history of WWE – he has been in some of the most entertaining TT matches, going back to Rumble 2015 and WrestleMania XXXIV. I think Rollins will carry the load again tonight, and retain the US Title. 

Colin: I like that they’re trying to make the United States title feel important in the absence of a world title. Putting it on Rollins was a great idea. Having Theory cash in on it was interesting to say the least. Rollins should walk out of this one still champion and my freakin’ choice is Rollins. 

Women’s War Games Match
Team Belair (Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Mia Yim, and Becky Lynch) vs. Team Bayley (Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, and Iyo Sky), Nikki Cross, and Rhea Ripley) 

Magnum: The inclusion of “The Man” Becky Lynch makes this great match even better. I can’t wait to see what they’re going to do. I think there’s a lot more uncertainty on Bayley’s side, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see Becky make someone tap to end this match. Give me Team Belair. 

Bonus #1: Who is the final entrant in the match? Becky Lynch
Bonus #2: Who gets the winning pin/submission? Becky Lynch
Bonus #3: Who takes the losing fall? Nikki Cross

Colin: I’m sad Sasha Banks is not in this one. I was really, really, really hoping that she was ready to return. This would have been the perfect place for her to return, being in Boston and all that. We got The Man as the fifth member and we shouldn’t really be bitching about it, but here I am doing just that. Anyway, I have a feeling the heels will pick up the victory here, so Team Bayley! 

Bonus #1: Who is the final entrant in the match? Becky Lynch
Bonus #2: Who gets the winning pin/submission? Rhea Ripley
Bonus #3: Who takes the losing fall? Mia Yim  

Men’s War Games Match
The Brawling Brutes (Sheamus, Ridge Holland, and Butch), Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens vs. The Bloodline (Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Sami Zayn, and The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso)) (with Paul Heyman) 

Magnum: I keep thinking about the history of War Games…and in 1992, Larry Zybysko destroyed Bobby Eaton’s arm with an errant shot to the arm with a turnbuckle shaft. Could history repeat itself? Absolutely. I think Sami could be in the Zybysko role, and of all people…Jey Uso could be in the Eaton role. Matter of fact, that’s exactly how I think this match will go down. Give me The Brutes to win it all. 

Bonus #1: Who is the final entrant in the match? Roman Reigns
Bonus #2: Who gets the winning pin/submission? Kevin Owens
Bonus #3: Who takes the losing fall? Jey Uso

Colin: I can see Sami Zayn some way, somehow costing this match for The Bloodline and we kick start the process of booting Zayn out of the group. Chamber is in Montreal and I really can see Owens and Zayn team up to take on The Usos for the titles. Imagine that. My pick goes for Brutes, Drew, and KO to pick up the victory. 

Bonus #1: Who is the final entrant in the match? Roman Reigns
Bonus #2: Who gets the winning pin/submission? Kevin Owens
Bonus #3: Who takes the losing fall? Sami Zayn 

Alright fans, that’s going to do it for us here at WO. Enjoy the show, we’ll see you next time for the PPV Pick’em report! @TheMagnumDA signing off.

Latest betting odds for Survivor Series: WarGames 2022

WWE’s last main roster premium live event of 2022 takes place tonight in Boston as WarGames comes to the Survivor Series for the first time ever!

Two WarGames matches will headline this show, a card with only five matches. We will take a look at the latest odds for all the matches today and remember, odds will likely change in a few hours.

In the men’s WarGames match, The Bloodline takes on the team of The Brawling Brutes, Drew McIntyre, and Kevin Owens. The team spearheaded by the Undisputed WWE Universal champ Roman Reigns is currently the favorite to win this one with 4/7 odds while their opponents are 5/4.

AJ Styles vs Finn Balor is the only non-title, non-gimmick match on this show. Styles is favorite with 4/6 odds while the leader of Judgment Day is 11/10 to get the second one-on-one victory over AJ.

The United States title will be defended in a triple threat match as Seth Rollins defends his gold against Bobby Lashley and Austin Theory. Rollins is favorite to retain with 8/25 odds while Lashley is 4/1 and Theory is 5/1.

Ronda Rousey is most definitely the bookmaker’s choice in her title defense against Shotzi, with the baddest woman on the planet having overwhelming 1/40 odds while Shotzi is just at 8/1 for the big upset.

And the women’s WarGames match sees Team Belair with odds of 11/20 and favorites against Team Bayley who are 13/10 to win.

Impact rating for 11/24/2022

Impact Wrestling on AXS TV drew 65,000 viewers for this show, down significantly by 44,000 viewers compared to the prior week. This was the second least-watched Impact of 2022. It had a 0.01 rating in the 18-49 demo and did not chart. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)

Randy Orton undergoes back fusion surgery

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Wrestling is reporting through his Select service that Randy Orton underwent a successful lower back fusion surgery recently, a surgery which will keep him out of action for a long time.

Such surgeries are performed to permanently connect two or more vertebrae in the spine, eliminating motion between them.

Recovery time for fusion surgeries is around a year so it could be a while before we see the Viper back in action.

The 42-year-old was last seen on WWE television on the May 20 episode of Smackdown in the winner-take-all Tag Team title unification match, teaming up with Matt Riddle against The Usos.

A week ago, his wife Kim posted a photo from the hospital wishing Randy a happy anniversary.

Claudio Castagnoli gets ROH World title shot at Final Battle

The main event for ROH’s Final Battle pay-per-view was decided yesterday on Rampage and will see former ROH champion Claudio Castagnoli trying to get back the title against Chris Jericho.

The match will have a stipulation where if Castagnoli is unsuccessful in regaining the title, he has to join the Jericho Appreciation Society since he is a former “sports entertainer” as well.

Castagnoli lost the ROH World title to Chris Jericho this past September at Dynamite: Grand Slam.

ROH Final Battle takes place on December 10 live from the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas.

Smackdown World Cup tournament final set for next week

The Smackdown World Cup tournament final match has been set and will take place on next week’s show.

The match will feature Ricochet against Legado Del Fantasma’s Santos Escobar. The two yesterday participated in semi final matches, with Ricochet defeating Braun Strowman and Escobar defeating Butch.

The winner of the final match will then receive an Intercontinental title shot against Gunther of Imperium.

Next week’s post-Survivor Series Smackdown has been bumped to FS1 due to other sports taking priority on FOX. Smackdown returns on FOX the week after.

5 reasons why slot machines are way better than poker

Slot machines, or video slots as they’re sometimes known, have long been the best-selling games in online casinos and brick-and-mortar casinos alike. These games are easy to play, the bets are limited, they come in a variety of themes and their payouts can be huge — sometimes even higher than in poker. Here’s why slot machines are way better than poker.

1) Slots don’t require skill

Skills don’t matter when you’re playing slot machines. If a slot machine player has any gambling skills, they probably learned them from watching professional poker players on TV. Slot machines don’t require a lot of thought, and no skill. They’re a mindless activity that doesn’t demand concentration and doesn’t take hours to play. SlotVigor is for the casual gambler who doesn’t want to spend too much time gambling at once and wants to keep their losses to an absolute minimum by spending as little money as possible per hour.

2) Slots have better odds

The odds of winning on a slot machine is about 50% higher than the odds of winning at poker. Slot machines don’t require any strategy or skill. They’re just random, which makes them great for people who don’t like to think too hard. I’ve actually seen some casinos have signs that read The House always wins and they’re not kidding! Slots are more popular: All these years later, slots still outnumber poker tables in every casino I’ve ever been to.

3) You can win big with slots

Winning big with slots is much easier than winning big with poker. With poker, you can only win money when the odds of your cards being better than the other player’s is high. With slots, all you need to do is keep spinning and hope for a lucky break. The more you play, the more chances you have to win big. Unlike poker, slot machines also give players a chance to lose all their money in one go.

4) Slots are more exciting

Slots are just more exciting because of the different games and music. When you’re at a poker table, it’s not as lively as when you’re at a slot machine. Even if you don’t win, it’s still exciting to see what happens next with the different animations and sounds. You can play slots for hours on end without getting bored or tired. There are no clocks or timers so it’s impossible to tell how long you’ve been playing. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose – as long as you keep playing, there will be something new every time.

5) Slots are easy to play

Slots are easy to play, so even people who have never played before can get the hang of it in just a few minutes. You don’t need to know what hands or poker hands are, and you don’t need to memorize complicated strategy or bluffing moves. You just put in your money and pull the lever!
