Injury forces Mandy Rose out of the Survivor Series

The reason why Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose were taken out of the Raw women’s Survivor Series team is because Rose is really injured and the angle was played out to explain her time out from the ring.

Rose had Kinesio tape on her shoulder and was immediately taken out of the match by Jax and Baszler, leaving her tag team partners Brooke and Asuka to continue the match.

Brooke was also attacked backstage by Reckoning of Retribution with WWE official Adam Pearce then taking both Superstars out of the match and replacing them with Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce.

It is not known how long Rose will be out for.

How can you access more sports content from all over the world?

Sports are a cultural experience in most parts of the world. There are plenty of people who love to watch sports on a daily basis. At the same time, some people might not be able to watch their favorite sports teams all the time. For example, they might be traveling outside of the country, meaning that they do not have access to their traditional channel. In other situations, someone might be a fan of a foreign sports team that is not regularly on TV and their home country. It can be frustrating what individuals are not able to watch their favorite sports teams compete on TV. It is even more frustrating when streaming sites are blocked online. For those wondering how they can watch their favorite sports teams from all over the world, you can do it with a VPN.

Why Is Certain Sports Content Blocked in Certain Locations?

One of the first questions people have is why certain sports content is blocked in certain locations. Anyone who has ever been to a sporting event has probably seen television cameras from multiple networks. For example, ESPN, Eurosport, and other common TV networks are all represented by a single sporting event. These programming companies have contracts giving them the rights to certain sports content in certain countries. Therefore, if someone is trying to watch sports content in a certain location, they might not be able to access it if another entity already has the rights to it, and they are not using their service. On the other hand, if they can change where they are located, this might unblock their favorite sports teams. This is how a VPN can be helpful.

How Does a VPN Work?

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN provides people with numerous benefits when it comes to watching sports programming. When someone is trying to watch sports programming, their internet provider usually tracks their IP address to figure out where they are located. Then, if they are located in a certain area, their sports content might be blacked out.

A VPN can scramble someone’s IP address, making them virtually anonymous online. That way, their internet provider will not be able to figure out where they are located. Furthermore, depending on the VPN provider, someone might have access to multiple servers that are located all over the world. For example, if someone has to be located in the United States to watch certain sports teams, they might be able to access a server in the United States. Then, the VPN will provide them with an IP address that is located in the United States, allowing them to watch sports content.

Another major benefit of using a VPN is that individuals will also be able to encrypt their data as it flows from place to place. Often, if someone is using a third-party streaming site to watch sports content, it is possible that their data might not be encrypted as it flows between their computer and their server. As a result, this could expose their personal information to criminals and hackers online. A strong VPN is going to encrypt the data of its users, protecting their data from being stolen.

Improve Streaming Speeds with a VPN

Finally, it is also important to talk about streaming speeds. One of the major problems that people encounter when trying to watch sports on the Internet is that this continuous video stream requires a lot of bandwidth. In some cases, internet providers will tell when someone is using a lot of bandwidth. Then, they might respond by throttling their data.

A VPN will prevent someone from having their data throttled by their internet provider by protecting someone’s IP address. That way, they will be able to watch their favorite sports teams compete uninterrupted. This can dramatically improve their viewing experience.

Use a VPN to Watch Sports Content

For those who love sports, it can be incredibly frustrating if their favorite content is blocked out. The good news is that there is a way for people to change their location, unblocking certain sports content. This is where a VPN can be helpful. Everyone needs to think about using a VPN to protect their identity and unblock certain sports content on the Internet.

 

Sasha Banks looking forward to more Hollywood work

With her debut on Disney+’s The Mandalorian, Smackdown Women’s champion Sasha Banks is looking to expand more into Hollywood in the near future.

Talking with USA Today, Banks said she has many goals and things she’d love to accomplish in Hollywood and a lot more things that she would like to do outside of WWE as well.

“So keep on watching in 2021. I’m going to keep on killing it and crush all my dreams,” Banks said.

Asked about if her subplot means that she’ll be back sooner rather than later, Banks added, “The beautiful thing with Disney is they love to have their magic. So you have to keep on watching and see what magic we’re going to create.”

Matt Sydal signs with All Elite Wrestling

AEW announced the signing of Matt Sydal, two months after he made his debut at the All Out pay-per-view.

Sydal was a surprise entrant in the battle royal on the show and started with a bang…completely botching his shooting star press when he slipped from the top rope as his first move in an AEW ring. But Sydal recovered like a pro although his entrance will forever be part of the highlight reel.

The 37-year-old Missouri native wrestled for Impact Wrestling, Ring of Honor, WWE – under the name of Evan Bourne – PWG, New Japan, and other independent promotions throughout the years with his last run with a major promotion being Impact Wrestling between 2017 and 2018.

Raw rating for 11/16/2020

Monday Night Raw drew an average of 1,778,000 viewers this week, up 89,000 viewers from last week’s show thanks in large to the WWE title match in the third hour.

Raw started with 1,868,000 viewers and then slipped to 1,728,000 viewers for the second hour before increasing slightly to 1,740,000 viewers for the third and final hour.

Raw was #4, #6, and #7 in the top 50 cable chart among the 18-49 demographic with 0.55, 0.50, and 0.48 rating respectively and was #27 in overall viewership for the night on cable. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)

Mark Henry “shocked” but “not surprised” by Vega’s firing from WWE

Speaking on the latest Busted Open Radio episode, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry said he was a bit shocked at the release of Zelina Vega, but not completely surprised by what happened.

Henry said that he knew that Vega was an avid Twitch and Cameo user and it was going to be hard for her to stop that interaction with her fans. Henry noted that during Halloween, Vega dressed in multiple costumes as she kept putting out photos and interacting with her fans on social media and said he didn’t not expect her to drop her work just like that even though WWE put the ban in place.

The World’s Strongest Man then added that the 29-year-old now former WWE Superstar found out from someone that she was getting fired that day at Smackdown and had an ace up her sleeve.

“It comes from good authority that she knew before they gave her the future endeavor speech. Then she was like…‘well I’m gonna leave some parting gifts,’” Henry said.

That “parting gift” was Vega’s “I support unionization” tweet which got picked up by SAG-AFTRA and could be something that opens the proverbial can of worms for WWE.

The best tips for the most played online casino games

Everyone dreams of winning it big when they are playing games with an online casino and although it is very unlikely you will win enough to be able to retire early, there are ways to improve your chances of much more success.

Let’s take a look through some of the most online played casino games with some helpful tips and advice to help you win more than you lose.

Roulette Tips And Advice

The game of roulette is played on a table and wheel and is one of the most popular games to play.

Although the game is straightforward to play, trying to predict where the ball will land on the wheel once the croupier spins both, there are various ways to win. The easiest bets and safest place is by choosing the colour red or black or odds or even which gives you odds of two to one.

Another bet that is worth exploring is that of one where you cover sections of the board, covering various numbers that the ball may land on. Placing this bet means you can cover a much larger portion of the table instead of betting on just one number to come in.

Slot Machines Tips And Advice

The slot tables are very popular especially with new gamers as they are quick, simple and easy to play with many games offering high rewards.

The online slots can have varied jackpot winnings but it’s always better to try and choose a slot game that has a high payout with a large jackpot.

 

There are many different themed slot games with names like automaty online but before deciding on which game to play always check the odds of the game. Some slots will have a higher house edge which means the odds are more in favour of the casino, so giving you less chance of winning so try and avoid those machines.

Black Jack Tips And Advice

The game of black jack is a game of both luck and strong will. You will need to make brave decisions to be successful when playing black jack.

Having a strategy when playing black jack is vital to being more successful when playing such as always splitting aces and eights or doubling down when you have an ace.

Being bold when playing black jack can lead to more success but playing smartly and having a strategy in place is just as important.

Other Basic Tips

Whichever games you decide to bet on when using an online casino it’s a good idea to seek out the games that have a low house edge. Don’t jump into the first game you come across, instead take your time and find out which games have chances of success.

Never gamble while drunk. You may think casinos and alcohol are a marriage made in heaven but in fact you would be wrong. Drinking too much alcohol and becoming tipsy or drunk can and will normally always lead to bad decision making. This is why in Las Vegas they like to offer free drinks to everyone who is betting on a table.

Instead of drinking alcohol, choose caffeinated drinks such as tea or coffee to keep your wits about you and your mind sharp, focused on the game at hand.

Don’t Chase Your Losses

Sometimes you will win when playing games with an online casino and sometimes inevitable you will lose. But it is important when you are on a losing streak that you do not keep throwing money at the table in the hope of winning back what you have already lost.

You should have already set yourself limits to how much you are willing to bet with and once you have reached that limit its time to walk away.

It is a common mistake made by not only newbies but experienced gamers to try and chase their losses, but this normally just leads you to digging an even bigger whole for yourself.

Only Bet On Games You Understand

Even though most online casino games are pretty simple to understand, it’s vital that you understand all the rules and ways to win and lose before playing with your hard earned money.

If you are new to any of the games then try the free play versions that most online casinos offer before betting with real money.

The free play versions are perfect for not only learning the rules of the games but also to practise and try out different strategies to see what works best for your style of betting.

Take Advantage Of Bonuses And Rewards

When signing up to an online casino often there will be some kind of bonus or reward attached to depositing for the first time. Take advantage of these offers as they often can include giving you better odds or doubling your first stake.

The more often you play with your chosen casino there more other bonus rewards can open up for you. But not all online casinos offer these, so do your research before coming to signing up and playing with an online casino. Seek out those that offer the best sign up bonuses and rewards.

Play Often But With Regular Breaks

The more often you play the better your skill set will become with online casino games. But it is important to take regular breaks between gaming.

Try and only play for between fifteen and thirty minutes each session and then take a good long break before coming back to play again, getting some fresh air to gather your thoughts. This will help with your decision making as the longer you are playing the more addicted you start to become which can lead to bad choices with your bets.

To Sum Up

Online casinos are a great fun way to pass the time that also offers rewards should you win. It’s important to remember though that there is no guaranteed way to win any online casino games but you increase your chances with wise decisions and not being too rash. Good Luck!

Tyson Fury congratulates The Undertaker on 30-year WWE career

Donning the special Undertaker WWE title along with a hat similar to that of the Dead Man, boxing champ and massive WWE fan Tyson Fury congratulated The Undertaker on his 30th anniversary with WWE.

“Hi this is Tyson Fury and this is a special message to The Undertaker celebrating 30 years in WWE. Fantastic, thank you very much for all the great matches you gave us over the years…God bless you…see you around,” Fury says in the video.

“I will be tuning in to watch your Final Farewell this Sunday at Survivor Series,” he continued in the tweet.

The Undertaker noted the tweet and thanked Fury. “Massive respect…thanks Champ. Keep doing what you’re doing and stay healthy. Watched your inspiring journey for a long time and cant wait to see you fight in person in the future,” Taker wrote.

Fury wrestled Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel in October of last year in Saudi Arabia and has said he’d like to do another match in the future.

Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose out of the Raw women’s Survivor Series team

The Raw women’s Survivor Series team had two Superstars swapped following last night’s Raw with Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose taken out of the match.

The two were part of a six-woman tag team match where they teamed up with Asuka to take on Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, and Lana. Rose, who had tape on her shoulder, was taken out immediately from the match and then after everything was over, Reckoning from Retribution attacked Dana Brooke backstage during an interview.

Adam Pearce said that both Brooke and Rose were unable to compete this Sunday and were then replaced by Lacey Evans and Peyton Royce, who now join Baszler, Jax, and Lana for this Sunday’s pay-per-view.

The five Raw women will take on Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott, and two other still yet to be decided individuals.

Battle for Flyweight gold: Deiveson Figueiredo vs Alex Perez preview

We are now tantalisingly close to UFC 255, one of the most anticipated combat sport events in recent memory. There are countless talented fighters in MMA today but Deiveson Figueiredo and Alex Perez are two of the very best. Both fighters are going into the bout in great form but which one will emerge victorious with the UFC flyweight championship? If you are struggling to pick which of the pair has the best chance of winning, check out our mini guide to the fight below for some pointers.

Deiveson Figueiredo

Figueiredo goes into the match as the reigning, defending champion and the clear favourite. The 32-year-old has been one of the most consistently successful fighters in UFC history and currently boasts an incredible record of 19-1-0.  He made a name for himself in his native Brazil, accruing a record of 11-0 fighting for several different promotions. This fine form was enough to attract the attention of UFC president Dana White who signed him in 2017. Despite being fairly old for a new fighter, Figueiredo wasted little time getting acquainted with his new surroundings, winning each of his first four fights, three of which by TKO.

His only ever defeat as a professional came against Jussier Formiga in March 2019, a bout that went all three rounds which he eventually lost by unanimous decision. Since this setback, Figueiredo have been absolutely flawless. In his last fight he was finally rewarded for his consistency with a shot at the Flyweight Championship. He won the match as well, besting Joseph Benvidez for the belt. He is a fearsome striker, defeating many of his opponents with his lethal punches. However, he is also a talented submission artist. In his last fight against Benavidez, a rear-naked choke got him the win. In the past, he’s used guillotine choke holds to get the job done. Perez needs to watch out for this lethal move if he has any chance of getting the win.

Alex Perez

Coming into the title bout, Perez is the underdog. In fact, the 28-year-old only received a shot at the belt because Figueiredo’s scheduled opponent, Cody Garbrandt suffered a torn bicep in training.

The odds may be stacked against him but Perez is a talented fighter and as recent history shows, anything is possible in the UFC. The American had an unconventional route into the UFC, earning his contract after defeating Kevin Gray during an episode of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contenders Series – a breeding ground for MMA hopefuls. He made his promotional debut for the company in December 2017, defeating Carlos John de Tomas by submission in the second round. He followed this up with back-to-back victories over Eric Shelton and Jose Torres, before finally tasting defeat against Benavidez via TKO.

Like his opponent at UFC 255, Perez is an adept striker who can also mix it up with some submission holds. His first two UFC bouts were won via Anaconda Choke and he also has three TKOs to his name.

Drew McIntyre regains the WWE title on Monday Night Raw

Randy Orton’s 14th title reign came to a quick end as last night he lost the title to Drew McIntyre in the main event of Monday Night Raw.

A Claymore Kick was enough to take Orton out in the no disqualification, no count-out match and secure the pinfall for the Scottish Superstar, who is now on his second WWE title reign.

With this win, McIntyre now will go to Survivor Series to take on Universal champion Roman Reigns in a non-title match. The two teased the encounter last week when McIntyre showed up on Smackdown and interrupted Reigns and later took on Jey Uso.

Orton lasted just 22 days with the title after winning it at Hell In A Cell on October 25.

Zelina Vega fired from WWE for breach of contract

WWE confirmed with Sports Illustrated that Zelina Vega was fired on Friday for breach of contract after the 29-year-old refused to abide by WWE’s newest directives when it comes to dealing with third party services.

An avid Twitch user, Vega not only refused to stop using the service but also opened an OnlyFans account, charging a monthly subscription fee of $30.

Vega, real name Thea Trinidad, launched the OF account under the Megan Minx (@MeganMinx) name and advertises cosplay, lingerie, and swimsuit photos…but no nudity, something which OnlyFans is famous for.

She also sells personalized photos which are not posted for $500 for one photo and the price also includes the outfit as well.

It’s believed that with Twitch and OnlyFans, Trinidad was making more money than her WWE downside guarantee.

She, along with a few other WWE Superstars such AJ Styles, Xavier Woods, and others, personally met with Vince McMahon last month to try and change his opinion on the third-party service ban but it was proven to be ineffective.

SAG-AFTRA President issues statement offering support to wrestlers

Jon Alba from Spectrum Sports 360 reached out SAG-AFTRA following the firing of Zelina Vega and their response to the action, including SAG-AFTRA President Grabrielle Carteris publicly tweeting about what happened.

In a statement issued by Carteris, she said that wrestling is as much about media as it is sports, and they are going to directly engage with members within the wrestling industry to help find ways for them to protect themselves.

“As more people reinvest in unions, and as more working people are harassed by employers who don’t want to protect them, SAG-AFTRA is committed to doing what we can to help professional wrestlers secure the protections they deserve,” the statement said.

Total Bellas S6 E1 episode recap: Bella Baby Bumps

In the first episode of season six of Total Bellas, viewers catch up with the extremely pregnant Bella sisters, Nikki and Brie, who are trying to adjust to a new lifestyle during the coronavirus pandemic.

Nikki and her fiancé, Artem, are stranded with Brie, her husband Bryan, and their daughter Biride in their home in Phoenix, Arizona.

Meanwhile, Nikki and Artem maintain a primary residence in Los Angeles and therefore all of Nikki’s doctors are located there. This presents a problem as Brie wants her sister to remain in Phoenix so that the two can have their babies the same hospital and go through the first days post delivery together.

Also, Brie feels as though Nikki and Artem aren’t prepared for the new lives on which they are about to embark. Apparently, before her first pregnancy, Brie and her husband did everything possible to prepare for their new arrival. Their preparations included reading books, taking classes, and extensive research into all things baby and pregnancy related.

At this point, I like to point that everyone prepares for major life events in different ways. I’m sure that if I were to get pregnant I would have a different method of preparing for it than my sister would. Furthermore, I’m pretty sure I would have a different method of preparing for it than almost everybody reading this.

Maybe Brie should try watching a little more PBS, didn’t Mr. Rogers have some kind of lesson about how everyone is different, but that’s okay? Also, I wonder what makes Brie think that she is ultimate authority on all things maternity? I’m sure that all those books that Brie read had multiple different opinions about how one should handle everything baby related.

So, ultimately, Brie and Bryan decided to put Nikki and Artem through and obstacle course doing everything related to baby, from swaddling to favor changes diaper changes. I’m not sure how instructive it was, but it was certainly entertaining. The point of the obstacle course appeared to be to show Nikki and Artem how unprepared they truly were, and therefore make them feel as though they needed to stay in Phoenix to receive expert parenting advice from Brie and Bryan.

This brings me to another question, we live in a world full of technology designed to help loved ones connect from afar. Why didn’t Brie realize that if Nikki had issues and needed advice, she could simply pick up a phone, text, or use FaceTime?

However, the point ended up being moot, because Nikki’s insurance won’t pay for medical care outside of the state of California. The Bellas pregnancy related dramas were far from over because while undergoing a routine checkup in Phoenix, doctors discovered that Nikki’s baby, Matteo, might possibly have something wrong with his heart. Understandably alarmed, Nikki and Artem rushed back to Nikki’s own obstetrician in Los Angeles, who after redoing the scans that Nikki had had done in Phoenix said that the spec that the doctors in Phoenix had seen was really nothing to worry about.

Meanwhile, the Bella family matriarch, Kathy is experiencing some health issues of her own, having recently been diagnosed with Bells Palsy. Of course, her daughters saw this as a perfect opportunity to add to their mom stress, even if they did so without meaning to.

The Bellas memoir, Incomparable, reached bookshelves at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. However, Nicole had been keeping some extremely important secrets from her mother, which Kathy only read about with the rest of the world in the book.

It turns out that Nikki Bella was a victim of rape twice as a teenager. I understand that it is difficult for adults to talk about the rape experiences, and can only imagine how much more difficult it would be to discuss something so devastating as a teen. Furthermore, I understand that it takes a while for rape victims to feel comfortable discussing their issues with close family members, and can sometimes even take years.

I also think that it was extremely brave of Nikki to discuss her experiences in such a public forum. I applaud her for doing so, and hope that many more women and girls will be encouraged to do so because of her story. However, I still don’t think she should have allowed her mom to find out about her rape at the same time as the rest of us. I have never been in this situation, and probably shouldn’t judge.

It looks as though this season of Total Bellas will be just as full drama as all the rest of the seasons have been.
