WWE is back on pay-per-view tonight with Extreme Rules, a show which despite its name, only has one gimmick match. We will take a look at the betting odds for the top three matches of the card today and then as the show gets closer, we will update the latest odds for the full card.
The Universal title will be defended in an extreme rules match, basically a no disqualification, anything goes match. Roman Reigns, the defending champion, is 1/16 the overwhelming favorite to win this match while challenger Finn Balor is 6/1 for the big upset.
The Man Becky Lynch will put her Smackdown Women’s title on the line against Bianca Belair and Belair will hope this time around she will last longer than the 26 seconds from SummerSlam. Lynch remains the favorite at 2/13 while Belair is 7/2 to regain the title.
And in the Raw Women’s title match, Charlotte Flair will defend against Alexa Bliss. Flair is currently favorite to win and walk out with the title with her odds at 11/25 while Bliss is 8/5 to win.
Interesting to note is that the WWE title is not being defended tonight, at least it is not officially on the card.
American Top Team, led by Dan Lambert, destroyed Chris Jericho and Jake Hager after their tag team match against Men of the Year last night on Rampage.
Junior Dos Santos, Austin Vanderford, Andre Arlovski, Dalton Rosta, Jorge Masvidal, and Paige Van Zant all took out the Inner Circle members after Men of the Year beat Jericho and Hager with an assist from American Top Team head Dan Lambert. Following the match, Hager attacked Men of the Year and then got a hold of Lambert but the MMA stars came out and surrounded the ring and that’s when all hell broke lose.
Van Zant even got on the action by punching Jericho several times and that was followed by a running knee by Jorge Masvidal who laid out Jericho for good.
The MMA fighters stood tall as Jericho and Hager stayed motionless in the middle of the ring as the storyline between the factions continued.
Friday Night Smackdown on FOX did an overnight rating of 2,087,000 viewers this week, down 31,000 viewers from last week’s broadcast overnight number. The final number for last week’s show eventually was 2,243,000 viewers.
There are no hourly numbers available for Smackdown this week but it did 0.50 in the 18-49 demo, same as last week. Last week’s number was adjusted to 0.58 when the final number came. Smackdown was #2 behind Big Brother on the cable chart.
Former Impact Wrestling star Homicide made his presence felt last night at Rampage, coming to the aid of Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston towards the end of the show. Mox and Kingston eventually beat Lance Archer and Minoru Suzuki in a lights out match to wrap four hours of television tapings at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The 44-year-old from Brooklyn currently works for Ring of Honor and it’s unclear if his status has changed or if he signed a full-time deal with AEW. Homicide had multiple stints with TNA and ROH and is a former TNA Tag Team title holder with Hernandez and a former X Division champion as well.
Homicide was part of LAX while in Impact Wrestling, a group that later on featured Ortiz and Santana, both of whom now are part of AEW. In 2017, Homicide turned on the group and formed The OGz with Kingston and Hernandez.
Riddick Moss, who was a mainstay in the short-lived Raw Underground last year, returned on Smackdown and aligned himself with Happy Corbin.
Moss was injured in September last year, suffering a torn ACL, and spent the whole year out while recovering from the serious injury. He participated in a dark match last week before Smackdown but yesterday he appeared on TV, attacking Kevin Owens.
The 31-year-old Minnesota native has been training at the WWE Performance Center since 2014 and was part of NXT until he got called up to the main roster last year.
Episode 9 of season three of Dark Side of the Ring titled The Double Life of Chris Kanyon did a total of 214,000 viewers on Thursday. The show also had a 0.07 in the 18-49 demo. That was up from the previous episode which did 159,000 viewers. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)
The Rated-R Superstar will be returning to Smackdown next week for the post-Extreme Rules show which will also serve as night one of the 2021 WWE Draft.
Edge has been out of action ever since Seth Rollins beat him at the MSG Smackdown on September 10. Edge was stretchered out of MSG after he got stomped by Rollins. On Smackdown last night, Rollins promised that if Edge does not come to Smackdown next week, he will find Edge at his house and beat him up in front of his wife and kids.
Following the segment, Edge tweeted, “I’ll see you at #SmackDown next week.”
The two had two matches against each other, with Edge winning the first one and Rollins winning the second one so it could be that they’re going for a final blowoff match to settle the feud.
Deadline.com is reporting in an exclusive story that MGM is teaming up with WWE to resurrect the American Gladiators series which will feature several WWE Superstars.
Mark Burnett, who heads up Survivor, is currently pitching the rebooted series to broadcasters and platforms. WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan hosted the rebooted series on NBC in 2008 with Laila Ali. The original series ran between 1989 and 1996 and the series was so popular that it had 12 international adaptations airing in 95 different countries.
Deadline adds that MGM and WWE will serve as executive producers on the project.
A two-hour Rampage: Grand Slam kicks off on TNT tonight at 10PM ET with the show recorded from Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York.
Six matches were taped for the show including CM Punk vs Powerhouse Hobbs, Anna Jay vs Penelope Ford, Chris Jericho and Jake Hager vs Men of the Year, Adam Cole and The Young Bucks vs Christian Cage and Jurassic Express, Lucha Bros and Santana and Ortiz vs Private Party and Butcher and The Blade, and a Lights Out match featuring Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston vs Minoru Suzuki and Lance Archer.
The packed card will surely end a run of declining TV viewership for Rampage which has seen its audience going down week by week since the CM Punk debut episode.
WWE Superstars Zelina Vega and United States champion Damian Priest attended the 2021 Billboard Latin Music Awards, held yesterday at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida.
The two were there also supporting Bad Bunny, who walked away with 10 wins including the artist of the year award. Vega and Priest, who carried the U.S. title with him, were dressed to impress, especially Vega who had a stunning outfit.
The 22-year-old had a three-month stint with WWE between Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, training every day at the WWE Performance Center for a climax at WrestleMania where he teamed with Priest to take on Miz and Morrison. WWE Superstars had high praise for Bunny and the Puerto Rican star impressed big time in his debut match, exceeding all expectations.
Yes! There are many things someone can do at home to help them get over being sick faster, or at the very least make their time being sick a big load easier than it could have been if they did nothing.
Before we get into this, I just want to preface everything by saying I am not a medical professional. Do not use my advice as professional medical advice. I am only speaking from personal experience, and results could vary from person to person.
Now with that out of the way, back to the topic at hand. As I was saying, there are many things you can do that could make you get over being sick faster. Or, as I said, at least make you feel better over your time of being sick.
Drinks
First of all, fluids are incredibly important for us humans. Being made of about 70 percent water give or take, we need to constantly be inputting more of that sweet sweet H2O to replace all of the liquids we lose.
By going to the bathroom we lose liquid, by sweating we lose water, and even by breathing, we lose water! Exhaling water is actually one of the major ways through which we lose water from our bodies!
Every time we exhale, we are evaporating some water in our throats, lungs, mouths, noses, etc. Considering the average human takes about 17 thousand to 23 thousand breaths per day, that adds up to a lot of lost water!
So, don’t think if you are just sitting there playing online poker you don’t need to drink water! Stay hydrated, and it will help prevent you from getting sick in the first place!
However, not all liquids are made the same! Essentially everything we humans drink is water-based. Well, unless you decide you want to punish yourself and take shots of Everclear…
But, what is important is what is in that water. It makes all of the difference.
You could just drink regular plain old water, and that is probably one of your best options. Nothing added to it, just pure crystalline water. It will keep you hydrated, and moisten your throat if it is feeling sore.
Another popular drink for when you are sick is tea. Tea is a great option as well. It’s just plants that have been steeped in water, so depending on how you take your tea, it will keep you well hydrated as well.
Plus, the hot water could also aid with swelling or help soothe a sore throat. However, not all teas are made equal. Some of them would be better than others for when you are sick.
For instance, black or green tea probably would not be a good choice for you if you are feeling under the weather as they say. The caffeine is going to keep you awake, which is bad for a sick person who needs to rest.
That is also why I wouldn’t recommend caffeinated soft drinks or coffee if you are sick either. The name of the game is to aid your body’s natural ability to fight diseases, not fight against them.
Another thing I have heard of people drinking when they are sick is warm milk or hot chocolate. Now, due to allergies, many people can’t drink milk, but the theory behind it seems sound to me and it’s at least worth a try if you can!
The warm temperature of the milk would act like tea, but it would also have the ability to coat your throat and soothe it if it was sore. This is because milk is thick due to it being an emulsion of water and fat. The fat would be able to coat your throat and make it feel better.
Hot chocolate might have the problem of keeping you awake if it has a lot of caffeine in it, so just check on the label how much it has in it.
Rest and Relaxation
Probably the single most important thing you need when you are sick is rest. Not just sleep, REST. This means doing things to make you relax and keep you from being stressed.
Studies have shown that stress can seriously affect people’s physical health along with their mental health. Stressed people can possibly get sick more easily, and can possibly take longer to get over being sick.
So, When you are feeling sick and just overall “bleh” take some time to get over it. Take a day or two off with sick leave to get over the worst of it. If you go to work before you are over at least the contagious faze, the stress of work will probably just make you take longer to get better.
Now that you are on a little vacation on an island of hot drinks and used tissues, try to do as much as you can to keep your mind off of things that worry you or upset you.
Watch movies, sleep, chat with a friend to have them cheer you up, play a casual video game, learn something new, sleep, read a book, just chill, sleep, listen to music, or even simply do nothing and think. Oh yeah, and you could sleep!
Your immune system gets to work double time when you are sleeping. This is why you usually feel better when you wake up, and not just randomly during the day.
You aren’t spending your body’s energy on weird stuff like moving, so your immune system takes the extra juice. And so, you will get over being sick faster if you let your body rest and spend its energy how it’s needed.
Medicine
Depending on what kind of person you are, you will be staunchly against taking medicine when you are sick, or you will be popping pills like it is candy. I happen to know both types of people.
Much like how most things are, and most people, the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle. It’s best not to take medicine you don’t really need all the time, but it’s also not the best to force yourself to not take medicine if you need it.
For instance, if you have a really bad headache when you are sick, you shouldn’t not take a pain reliever just because its “medicine.” Pain causes stress, and stress will make it take longer for you to get over being sick.
Now, a larger gray area forms when it comes to antibiotics. Antibiotics are known to be overprescribed in wealthy countries, and it would be worthwhile to talk to your doctor about them.
Especially if they want to prescribe you antibiotics for something you have that seems minor like a cold. The overprescription of antibiotics leads to the development of so called “superbugs” that are antibiotic resistant.
This could make a lot of people dangerously sick if more and more infections become resistant to the treatments we have for them.
Therefore, it is worthwhile to ask your doctor if you really need the antibiotics they are prescribing you. Or, if you do need them, take all of them that are prescribed to you!
When people don’t finish taking their antibiotics, it can also lead to diseases becoming resistant.
But either way, a point to this whole rant is that you should do what you need to to get better fast while feeling the best! If you have a viral infection, antibiotics could just make you feel worse if they give you some common side effects.
Antibiotics only work on bacterial infections, so you should make sure you actually need medicine before you take it, so it doesn’t have the chance to make you feel worse than you already do.
Mickie James is getting a shot at the Impact Knockouts title at Bound For Glory next month.
The former champion, who returned to Impact at Slammiversary after a six-year absence, made her presence felt during Thursday’s television show and requested a title match. The reigning champ, Deonna Purrazzo, told her she needs to earn it but the two came to blows and eventually Scott D’Amore booked the match.
James held the Knockouts title on three different occasions in the past and has been pretty busy since she was released from WWE in April of this year. James helped produce and ran the NWA Empower all-women pay-per-view at the end of August.
Bound For Glory is set for October 23 live from Las Vegas, Nevada.
AEW announced the signing of former Dallas Mavericks center Satnam Singh who begins his wrestling training at The Nightmare Factory.
Singh is known as the first-ever NBA player from India and is 7’3″ and Cody Rhodes and QT Marshall’s school will be in charge of getting him ready for prime time television.
“While we’ve recently secured some of the hottest free agents on the planet, I’m also deeply committed to cultivating our own homegrown stars and the next generation of extraordinary professional wrestlers,” said AEW President Tony Khan in a press release. “In addition to Satnam’s commanding 7’3″ stature, I was impressed with his high level of athleticism and charisma. He’s an exciting addition to our roster, and I’m looking forward to our fans getting to know Satnam’s personality and watching his development.”
The move comes after AEW struck a television deal to broadcast both Dynamite and Rampage in India on Eurosport.
Former NXT champion Karrion Kross and his girlfriend Scarlett today announced their engagement.
The two posted a photo on social media with Scarlett showing off her new ring. “Pop the champagne! #Isaidyes”
The two had been dating since their Impact Wrestling days and after Scarlett was signed to WWE in late 2019, Kross followed a few months later after getting his release from Impact.
Scarlett has been off WWE television for a while and has not been seen by Kross’ side in a few months. She did have a tryout for the main roster but has not been called up yet while Kross is now part of the Raw roster.
The big Dynamite: Grand Slam episode on TNT drew a total of 1,273,000 viewers, up 98,000 viewers from last week’s broadcast. The show had a 0.48 in the 18-49 demo, placing first in the cable chart and up 0.04 from last week. This was the third most-watched episode of Dynamite since its inception behind the premiere episode and the post-All Out show. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)
Variety.com is reporting that Dynamite will be moving permanently to TBS from TNT starting with the January 5, 2022 episode. Dynamite retains its Wednesday night 8PM ET time slot once it moves to TBS.
The more interesting news is that Rampage, which was supposed to move with Dynamite to TBS, will remain on TNT in 2022. It will also keep its Friday 10PM ET time slot in 2022. AEW will also have a quarterly special on TNT once 2022 hits.
TBS is in a few more homes than TNT so there will not be a problem of less households for Dynamite. Moving to TBS will also spare Dynamite from being pre-empted multiple times throughout the year due to NBA and other sports.
AEW smashed their attendance record last night with Dynamite: Grand Slam at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing, New York, although the event did not sell out.
The company kept adding seats up until the last day or so with the stadium configured to seat 20,303 fans. According to the ticket tracker service WrestleTix, AEW moved a whopping 19,079 tickets for its Wednesday show for a 94% sell.
Yesterday’s Dynamite drew over a $1 million gate which is also a record for a Dynamite.
During the broadcast, AEW announced an attendance of 20,177 at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. The previous record was at the United Center with 15,316 for the CM Punk debut.
AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam Wed • Sep 22 • 7:00 PM Arthur Ashe Stadium, Flushing, NY
The British bookies specialising in boxing odds as well as American betting firms have installed the Irish-born queen of the ring as the favorite to claim a second crown at the 35th staging of the event, the latest update follows an explosive return to the ring for the 34-year-old.
And for any fans that think she may have lost her edge after becoming a mum, just ask Bianca Belair if she agrees after being on the receiving end of a 27-second demolition.
Success in 2019 where she conquered her ‘bestie’ Charlotte Flair has clearly influenced the sportsbooks, with betting companies like bet365 offering odds as short as 7/2 on Lynch taking the Royal Rumble. Sasha Banks is joint second favourite (8/1) with Lynch’s long-time friend Flair at 10/1. There’s been a lot of interest in Rhea Ripley who became the first Australian to win the women’s championship at WrestleMania earlier in the year, the 24-year-old from Adelaide is trading between 8/1 and 12/1 as per William Hill betting platform.
Lynch made her shock return to ring action at the recent SummerSlam after social media posts about how well her training was coming along were becoming hard to ignore. But it was still a shock to see her when WWE Smackdown Women’s champion Bianca Belair was supposed to defend her title against Sasha Banks.
Belair made her entrance before it was announced that Banks was unable to compete and her new challenger was Carmella. In a further twist the ring music played was Celtic Invasion, the theme for ‘The Man’, before out waltzed Becky Lynch for her first bout since May 2020.
She quickly took care of Carmella before challenging Belair, clearly a challenge the champion felt unable to refuse. The whole show appeared to be a little overwhelming for Belair, and just 27 seconds after the bell the champion was coming to terms with losing her title.
“Right now, I’m just trying to collect my thoughts,” Belair said afterwards. “Everything happened too quickly. I was ready to fight Sasha Banks, and Becky came out, which was an amazing moment. I’m happy to be a part of that, but I lost my title, and right now, I’m just emotional.
“I feel defeated. It was bittersweet, Becky Lynch, what she has accomplished inside and outside the ring. She is a legend in the making.”
The rags to riches tale of Lynch is a great one for the sport. She was born in Limerick in the mid-west of Ireland and raised in the tough Baldoyle suburb of Dublin. Her parents split when she was just one-year-old and her interest in wrestling stemmed from her brother Richy, the two would watch it together on TV before they both started training at a wrestling school when Becky was just 15.
She soon started in a tag team pair with her brother before leaving as a broke 17-year-old to make her name on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Starting off in Canada, Lynch progressed to the WWE in 2013, and has become one of the biggest names in the sport.

The lucha libre website MasLucha.com is reporting that Gran Metalik has requested his WWE release.
The 32-year-old’s current deal with WWE expires at the end of 2022 and he has not been used much lately on WWE television. The report on Mas Lucha states that Metalik wants to leave due to lack of opportunities he is getting as part of the roster.
Metalik has been signed to WWE since 2016 and was a finalist in the 2016 Cruiserweight Classic but lost to TJ Perkins. Lately, Metalik has teamed with Lince Dorado as part of Lucha House Party.
