Rhea Ripley gets NXT Women’s title shot next week

AEW is not the only ones giving away huge matches for free as NXT announced last night that the NXT Women’s title will be up for grabs next week with Io Shirai defending her title against Rhea Ripley.

Shirai issued a challenge to Ripley last week and Ripley accepted, with the match believed to be happening at the next Takeover show rumored for December. No announcement for a Takeover has been made though and the match has been bumped to the November 18 broadcast.

The Japanese Superstar has been champion since Takeover: In Your House in June when she beat Charlotte Flair and Ripley in a triple threat match. Ripley was the champion heading into WrestleMania, but lost the title to Flair. She made history by becoming the first NXT star to defend the title at a WrestleMania.

Johnny Gargano loses NXT North American title to Leon Ruff!

Johnny Gargano’s ploy to keep the NXT North American title backfired yesterday on NXT on USA Network as Gargano was upstaged by newcomer Leon Ruff, losing the title with a little help from Damien Priest.

Gargano, who has failed to defend an NXT singles title so far, chose a “worthy opponent” from a “wheel of challengers” to play off the whole wheel angle from Halloween Havoc. The wheel had several names listed such as Dexter Lumis, Velveteen Dream, Kushida, Tommaso Ciampa, and others but one name in particular stood out – Leon Ruff. The wheel was also rigged to, you guessed it, land on Ruff’s name.

The match ended when Priest decided to show up to distract Gargano. Gargano went for a super kick but Ruff ducked and caught in him a crucifix and held on to pin him for the shocking victory.

Gargano was in complete disbelief, and so was Ruff, who celebrated at the top of the ramp with Priest. Priest wrapped the title around Ruff’s waist but it was too big and when he lifted his hands, the title dropped like a towel in a hilarious moment.

Ruff is part of the latest class of the WWE Performance Center and is a former EVOLVE Tag Team title holder.

Shaquille O’Neal is coming…to AEW!

Shaquille O’Neal is coming to AEW! After earlier this year the former NBA star hinted he wants to get in the ring with Cody Rhodes, the angle kicked off on last night’s Dynamite.

It all started when Cody, fresh from losing his TNT title, said he wants to topple giants while in AEW, a subtle hint of what was coming next. At that point, fitness star and “soon to be your favorite wrestler” Jade Cargill came out for her AEW debut to confront Rhodes.

Cargill introduced herself and then turned her attention to Rhodes and asked what does Cody know about giants since there’s “nothing giant about you.” She said she knows a real giant and statements like his were loud enough to wake him up.

“So the next time you feel the need to think out loud, I suggest you keep that sh!t to yourself,” Cargill told Rhodes. At that point, she walked to the back but before she went through the tunnel, she congratulated Cody on getting his name back.

“But I guess you didn’t have the balls to go by one name,” she continued. “That giant that you were talking about, you know what his name is? Shaq!”

O’Neal was backstage at Full Gear last weekend. He already has appearances in WWE and WCW under his belt.

The best chest exercises for wrestling

If you’re.a wrestler, and you want to be more dominant in the ring, you should look to put in more work in the weight room in order to build the power and strength you need to easily see off your opponent.

In a sport as physical as wrestling, being as strong as possible gives you a very definite advantage. While techniques are also crucial to a wrestler’s success, pure optimal strength is also important. When competing, wrestlers possess equal or similar techniques, and the stronger athlete will stand victorious at the end of the match.

This isn’t to say that a wrestler shouldn’t work on enhancing and refining technique. Rather, the opposite is true. Technique is an extremely important aspect to the success of a wrestler and is an area you should put work in on every day. But as a wrestler, you should also emphasize strength training, especial if you’ve overlooked or neglected it in the past

What Types of Exercises?

Now that we’ve talked about the role of strength training in wrestling, let’s look at the best types of exercise you should be doing, in particular for the chest. Not all exercises are created equally, and so you should spend your time on the right ones in order to achieve optimal gains. There are numerous exercises that are great for building up your chest if you’re a wrestler, such as the bench press and floor press. Below, however, we’re going to look at three exercises that, while are common in anaerobic exercise programs, are often overlooked in wrestling training. Here are three exercises you can perform to get your chest ready for the wrestling mat.

Push-Up

I probably don’t need to sell you on the idea of push-ups. You can perform a lot of these to add volume, which aids muscle growth. Here, you just need to get into a plank position, placing your hands below your shoulders, feet together, and back flat. You also need to drill your palms into the floor. Hold that position, and then lower your body until your chest is around one inch from the ground. Now, using your palms, take your body back up.

Dip

Dips are another great bodyweight exercise. While the push-up sees you get on all fours, you’re suspended when performing the dip, so you’re using your entire bodyweight. You’re also putting some emphasis on your triceps, which are involved in any pressing movement. Employing them as a team with your chest will help to strengthen your synergistic muscles in unison. Here, you’ll firmly grab the bar and get to the top of the dip position, while squeezing your shoulder blades and tightening your upper back. Slightly angle your torso forward and enable your elbows to bend as they tuck slightly inwards towards your torso. Then lower your body until your elbows are bent at around 90 degrees. Once you’re ready, press through the handles and take your body into the top of the dip position.

Svend Press

This move might look weaker than others on the list, but it will also likely burn the most. To avoid two plates falling on your toes, you need to continuously squeeze the weights together. That will activate your pecs. You’ll then further squeeze your chest together by extending your arms. The exercise (also known as the plate pinch) isn’t high-impact, and so is safer than heavy pressing. To start the exercise, take two five or 10-pound weight plates and use your hands to press them together between your hands. You should extend your arms outwards and in front. Actively pinch the plate together while ensuring that they don’t slip apart. Pull the two plates in the direction of your sternum while pulling your shoulder blades together and keeping your chest up. Since the plates have been pulled towards your sternum, flex your chest while pressing the weights outwards and ensure that your inner chest muscles are engaged, and that the plates remain pressed together.

When Should Your Train?

If you’re at beginner level, i.e. you’ve been training for no longer than a year, you should go for 12 sets per week. If you’re a novice, i.e. you’ve been training for 2-4 years, you can increase your workload to between 14 and 16 weekly sets. Finally, if you’re a more experienced trainer, i.e. you’ve been training for at least four years, you could try and do between 16 and 20 sets per week. As your chest is one of your upper body’s larger muscles, you can emphasize it more than your arms or shoulders.

Omega gets his AEW World title shot on December 2 Dynamite

AEW will not be waiting for the next pay-per-view to give fans Moxley vs Omega II as the promotion announced yesterday that the match for the AEW World title will take place on the December 2 episode of Dynamite.

Giving away huge matches on free television is a practice long done by all major companies in professional wrestling and is usually done to pop a rating. AEW is billing this match as the biggest one in Dynamite history.

Omega won the AEW World Title Eliminator tournament to earn his shot at Moxley, who successfully defended the title against Eddie Kingston at Full Gear.

Moxley and Omega wrestled a year ago at Full Gear 2019 in a brutal 40-minute lights out match which Moxley won.

Gargano defends North American title against mystery opponent tonight on NXT

The NXT on USA Network broadcast tonight will be headlined by a North American title defense although who will face Johnny Gargano remains a mystery.

Gargano, who became the Sasha Banks of the men’s division when it comes to successfully defending a title, will be taking on a mystery opponent tonight, an opponent who Gargano deemed “worthy” to finally break his losing streak.

Also announced for the show are Raquel Gonzalez vs Via Lee, Toni Storm vs Candice LaRae, and the NXT Tag Team titles are also on the line as Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch take on Breezango.

Tony Khan says “balance of power in wrestling will shift tonight” on Dynamite

AEW President Tony Khan is promising great matches for the remainder of 2020 on Dynamite starting tonight, along with “massive surprises” throughout the coming weeks. There’s a stacked card on Dynamite, with Khan saying that “the balance of power in wrestling will shift tonight.”

The Full Gear fallout show tonight already has five matches announced including Tay Conti vs Red Velvet, The Natural Nightmares vs The Butcher and The Blade in a bunkhouse match, Scorpio Sky vs Shawn Spears, Brian Cage vs Matt Sydal, and the main event of Rey Fenix vs Penta El Zero M.

In addition, MJF and Wardlow will be inducted into The Inner Circle and Cody Rhodes will address fans after losing the TNT title.

The Bella Twins say they have one more run left in WWE

Appearing on Access Hollywood, Nikki and Brie Bella spilled the beans that they have another run in them and they’re targeting the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles.

When host Mario Lopez asked the twins if they’re retired for good or if there’s a possibility that we might see them back, Brie said that when they left, WWE introduced the women’s tag team titles and they were “dying” to get the titles in the division while there.

Brie said they feel they have one more run in them and gunning for the titles. “I’ve got goosebumps,” Brie said while everyone applauded at the announcement.

In June of last year, Nikki said that she retired from in-ring competition due to another herniated disc and a cyst in her brain while Brie wanted to have another baby. Eventually, both Nikki and Brie got pregnant at the same time. The duo were supposed to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year but the ceremony was postponed due to coronavirus.

The twins are doing media rounds to promote the new season of Total Bellas which starts tomorrow on E!

WWE Tribute to the Troops to air on FOX on December 6

After not airing on TV at all last year, Tribute to the Troops will return to the airwaves this year but this time instead of USA Network, it will air on FOX.

According to a press release issued today, the show will air on Sunday, December 6, adjacent to Sunday’s regional NFL broadcasts. Viewers with an NFL match airing at 1PM ET can watch WWE Tribute to the Troops at 4:30PM ET while viewers with an NFL match airing at 4:05PM ET can watch the special at 3PM ET.

Unlike previous years and because of the coronavirus, Tribute to the Troops will air from inside the WWE ThunderDome and the virtual fans will all be servicemen and women. Troops from the Marine Corps Air Station New River in North Carolina, the US Army Post Fort Hood in Texas, the U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), Naval Air Station Fallon in Nevada and Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in Ridgecrest, California, will all be featured in the ThunderDome.

“This is a unique time and we look forward to providing our troops and their families with an interactive experience that only WWE can deliver as we celebrate our servicemen and women with millions of our fans watching at home on FOX,” said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman & CEO.

“Supporting the United States military year-round is an essential part of FOX Sports’ mission, and partnering with WWE on their Tribute to the Troops is an incredible extension of this ongoing commitment,” added Eric Shanks, Chief Executive Officer & Executive Producer, FOX Sports.

The show will probably be taped this month since WWE will be out of the Amway Center by the time it airs on TV. In the coming weeks, WWE will announce celebrity guests from the world of sports and entertainment that will take part in the Tribute to the Troops broadcast on FOX.

Tribute to the Troops has been held every year since 2003.

Dynamite to start airing in Brazil this month

AEW is about to begin broadcasting in the country of Brazil on Space, a pay-TV channel owned by WarnerMedia International.

The channel already airs NBA, UEFA Euro games, boxing, and Lucha Libre AAA and is expected to start AEW programming this month according to a trailer posted by the Twitter account @WrestleBR.

No information was announced as to when the actual start date is and what time Dynamite will be airing.

The early favourites for the Royal Rumble 2021

It’s certainly been a 2020 to forget, so what better way to get the new year off to a good start than with the Royal Rumble.

This year is going to be more significant than ever and everyone at the WWE will be looking to make sure it’s one to remember for both the men’s and women’s event.

The anticipation is already building, and what’s more plenty of bookmakers are already having their say on who they believe will be the winner.

With just a few months to go until the big January event, we take a look at the favourites ahead of the turn of the year…

Men’s Royal Rumble 2021 favourites

It’s one of the most popular wrestling events to bet on as anyone could win it, and more and more bookmakers are now starting to offer odds on it. Sites such as Free Bets have a host of bookies with Royal Rumble markets. They review all the most popular bookmakers to find the best ones for customers, and what they have found is that across the board, Edge is the current favourite to take Royal Rumble at 5/1.

The former WWE Heavyweight Champion is just ahead of Big E at 11/2 with bookmakers like William Hill and Ladbrokes and has experience of winning the event, last doing so back in 2010 in Georgia.

Last year’s winner, Drew McIntyre is priced at 20/1 with the same bookies while Roman Reigns, the current SmackDown Universal Champion, and former Royal Rumble Winner is priced at 8/1 with Virgin Bet.

The bookies are giving Keith Lee a good chance of winning, as well as Brock Lesnar, while veterans Goldberg and The Rock are priced at 10/1 and 14/1 respectfully with bookmakers like Paddy Power and Betfair.

If you’re looking for an outside shot, Randy Orton is at 40/1, with John Cena 33/1, while a real surprise would be Vince or Shane McMahon who are both priced at 250/1.

Odds are correct at the time of writing however it’s worth shopping around to ensure you get the best odds available for your selection. There are also numerous welcome bonuses and sign up offers available so keep a look out for those.

Women’s Royal Rumble 2021 favourites

Last year saw Charlotte Flair win the Women’s Royal Rumble, but she’s way behind the main pack according to the bookmakers this year. She’s priced at 16/1 with Sasha Banks the current favourite at 9/2.

Former UFC star Ronda Rousey is a 6/1 shot with Ladbrokes, just ahead of Rhea Ripley at 7/1 with the same bookie. Both Shayna Baszler and Alexa Bliss are also being tipped among the favourites with the bookmakers, while the likes of Ember Moon (16/1) and Bianca Belair (14/1) are being considered more outsiders for the January event.

Asuka shouldn’t be ruled out having previously won the event in 2018 and the current Raw Women’s Championship holder, while if you’re looking for a real long shot, you can back Zelina Vega at 100/1 or Stephanie McMahon at 125/1 with betting sites like William Hill and Ladbrokes, in what would be a real shock twist.

It’s all set to be an incredibly exciting event, with the WWE already saying there will be plenty of twists and turns in this year’s event with a number of surprises up their sleeve. We can’t wait and hopefully it’ll set the tone for a good year both inside and outside of the ring!

AEW announces three video games in production

All Elite Wrestling announced three video games yesterday during a presentation, one of which is coming to consoles and two for mobile.

Yukes is developing the console game, and a small teaser of it was played. Yukes is the company that was behind several WWE video games in the past. It was also announced that Hideyuki Iwashita, the director of the popular WWF No Mercy video game from 2000 will also be involved in it.

The two mobile games are titled AEW Elite General Manager and AEW Casino: Double or Nothing. The first one is a game where you will be able to run the promotion from a GM standpoint and the second is a casino game where you can compete in tournaments and also play against the casino.

The press conference, rather than being a normal one, was a spoof of the popular Apple press conferences. Kenny Omega, Aubrey Edwards, and Cody Rhodes, all dressed like the late Steve Jobs, with glasses and black turtlenecks.

Raw rating for 11/09/2020

Monday Night Raw had a slight increase from last week, getting an average of 1,689,000 viewers, up 33,000 viewers from last week.

The show started with 1,847,000 viewers but then suffered a large drop to 1,690,000 viewers in the second hour before it sunk even further to 1,532,000 viewers in the third hour.

Lance Archer talks signing with AEW, wrestling at WrestleMania, Jake Roberts, and more

AEW’s Lance Archer was the subject of an interview with Chris Vliet of The Chris Van Vliet Show where he talked about a variety of topics including signing with AEW, being managed by Jake “The Snake” Roberts, his time in WWE, wrestling at WrestleMania, his nickname, and more.

Archer, who described himself as a “journeyman” for bouncing around all over the world, said that a visit backstage to AEW to visit friends when the company came to Dallas kicked off the whole thing and after wrapping his deal with New Japan Pro Wrestling, he decided to jump onboard after AEW offered him a deal.

“So I didn’t go looking for a job but ultimately that’s kind of what happened. I’ve been lucky and blessed in a lot of different ways. I’ve worked in a lot of different places from TNA to WWE for a short cup of coffee, I showed up in Ring of Honor a few times, I worked down in Mexico with AAA and different places like that. So I’ve bounced around and been a journeyman to say the least,” Archer told Vilet.

Archer also spoke about participating at WrestleMania 26 during the pre-show battle royal, calling it a cool moment to be able to walk down the ramp at at a WrestleMania. He said that he could be sour and bitter about his time in WWE but that does him no good and certainly doesn’t help him move forward in wrestling or life.

What you need to know about the latest title in the swell of wrestling games

There’s very little doubt that the golden age of wrestling games came and went a couple of generations of consoles ago. Games like WWF SmackDown! 2, WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain, and WWE SmackDown! Vs. Raw are among the big-hitters and perhaps among the greatest sports games of all-time.

However, that’s not to say that there aren’t some modern gems hitting the market, offering eccentric entertainment and fun gameplay. The WWE’s latest crack at new-age gaming comes in the form of WWE Undefeated, which is set to hit the virtual stores on December 3, per Sportskeeda.com.

Here’s what you need to know about it and the recent wave of wrestling-themed games to hit the scene.

WWE Undefeated arrives with legends and head-to-head battles

WWE Undefeated is all about going head-to-head in eccentric fights with over-the-top action. Being built for iOS and Android devices, the wrestling game offers streamlined mobile play. The matches feature fast, high-powered action, and you’ll have access to deep RPG options for each fighter outside of the square circle. By collecting and upgrading your wrestler’s moves, you’ll be able to get an edge in matches.

As far as superstars go, anyone who downloads WWE Undefeated should be able to find one of their favorites. The roster includes The Rock, Kofi Kingston, Roman Reigns, ‘The Fiend,’ Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, and AJ Styles if you pre-register at WWEUndefeated.com. Each wrestler comes in with an exaggerated version of their signature move, making it even more exciting when deployed in-game to oust your foe.

The mobile game looks exciting enough and will undoubtedly be given updates down the line that bring in new events and wrestlers. That said, in mobile games, the key to it having any value is how much it leans on its freemium economy. If you can develop decent wrestlers without too much grind and matches are decided more by skill than premium items, WWE Undefeated could prove to be a fun action game.

Adding to the stack of new wrestling titles

Many WWE game fans will notice that WWE Undefeated is how similar it is in its design and angle to WWE 2K Battlegrounds. Released to give the developers of WWE 2K more time to improve on their lackluster effort last time out, the game of dumpy wrestlers received a mixed response. However, according to ScreenRant.com, the team keeps adding to the title, with Booker T, Batista, and Goldberg on the way for free.

Luckily, wrestling hasn’t been monopolized by the WWE in the gaming space, with plenty of other developers of different sizes and platforms utilizing the sport. The online gaming platform with the highest-rating at Bonus.ca has earned its praise through its massive selection of games, which includes several wrestling titles. Leaning into the sport’s Mexican side, both Lucha Legends and Luchadora continue to draw in slot fans.

Pro-wrestling has always been a sport about flair, which has allowed indie studios to stretch the theme beyond the regular format. The Nintendo Switch platform is the best place to find great indie games and is where you’ll find the recent releases of Chiki-Chiki Boxy Pro Wrestling, ACA Neogeo 3 Count Bout, and Guacamelee! 2. On PC, you can also find a favorite genre in the wrestling theme, the management sim, with Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 putting you in charge of your own company.

WWE Undefeated could prove to be an action-packed, strategic wrestling game that’s easily accessed by all fans. If not, there’re plenty of great new games across all platforms to enjoy.

Cody Rhodes wants Senate run after wrestling career is over

In an interview with Bleacher Report last weekend, AEW EVP Cody Rhodes said that once his wrestling career is up, he wants to get involved in politics.

He said he’s currently 35 years old and only wants to wrestle until he’s 40, at which point he would like to enter the political arena.

“I have political aspirations. I would love to run for the Senate in the great state of Georgia. I want to help with the sphere of influence I have created. I always say if you do the work, it will pay off,” Rhodes told BR in the interview.

Shooting for a Senate seat isn’t an easy task and it’s a very, very costly affair. Former WWE President Linda McMahon tried to run for Senate twice, and twice lost, blowing millions of dollars in the process.

Wrestlers getting into politics isn’t something new, and sometimes it works too. Glenn “Kane” Jacobs is currently the Mayor of Knox County while WWE Hall of Famer Jesse “The Body” Ventura was the Governor of Minnesota.

Amway Center starts advertising December dates, WWE on the way out

The Amway Center, the current host of the WWE ThunderDome, has started advertising events in December starting with the Orlando Solar Bears games for the new ECHL season and tickets for the games have gone on sale.

While the first date is listed at December 29, the Orlando Magic are scheduled to move in earlier for their NBA season which means that WWE is surely on the way out of the Amway and have to relocate the ThunderDome.

It’s impossible to assemble and dismantle the ThunderDome twice a week for Raw and Smackdown so WWE has to find an arena which doesn’t host any sports team somewhere in the United States, ideally in a major travel hub to allow easy traveling for its Superstars and staff.

While remaining in Florida would be ideal, there’s not much choice as all major arenas will probably be occupied with sports for the new season. WWE has reportedly already looked at venues in different states and the last event scheduled so far at the ThunderDome is the Raw after the Survivor Series on the 23rd. The agreement with Amway expires on November 24.

WWE is not looking to resume touring next year so they will continue filming in a fixed location for the foreseeable future.

D-Von Dudley’s sons to make AEW debut tonight on Dark

D-Von Dudley’s sons – Terrell and Terrence Hughes – will be making their AEW debut tonight on Dark.

The twins, who made a cameo on Smackdown in September escorting Sami Zayn, wrestle under the name of TNT and will be taking on Chaos Project, the team of Luther and Serpentico.

“Very proud of my sons! Get ready boys, your time is now! Oh My brother Testify! Let the legacy continue,” D-Von wrote on Twitter.

Apart from appearing on Impact Wrestling in 2011 where they were involved in an angle with their father and Bully Ray, they have mostly wrestled on the independent circuit.

Bet online for UFC Fight Night 183: Makhachev, Dos Anjos on main card

On November 14, 2020, another classic MMA match will take place at the APEX facility in Las Vegas. The UFC Fight Night 183 will feature main cards and seven undercard matches. The same with the previous fights, the said event will not accept any audience, and all betting games are done at participating online sportsbooks.

Like many matches that happened at the same venue, the event will bring another intense fight and wagering games. There is more to expect in the UFC Fight Night since this is a special event for dos Anjos, who is fighting for the Lightweight Division. He was tested positive for COVID-19 in the past few months but has successfully recovered to make this event possible.

As you look forward to the UFC fights especially the 183 edition, here are the four main card events to expect. Make sure to utilize a trusted bookie, like sportsbook.fanduel.com, to play the betting games that this event offers.

Eryk Anders V.S. Antonio Arroyo

Sanders and Arroyo will open the UFC Fight Night 183 main event, wrestling for the Middleweight Division. Eryk Sanders, popularly known as “Ya Boi,” holds two present titles in the Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Division. He has been working in professional MMA for eight years and has recorded 13 belts and five losses.

On the other hand, with a “Striking Style” game inside the cage, Antonio Arroyo will challenge Sanders to steal the Middleweight belt from him. This Brazilian MMA fighter with an orthodox stance currently holds nine wins and three losses.

There is no turning back for Arroyo this November 14 as he takes a chance to fight against a more veteran UFC player. If he becomes successful, this is probably his biggest achievement in his MMA career.

Julian Marquez V.S. Saparbek Safarov

Another Middleweight Division to take place at the UFC Fight Night 183 is a match-up between Julian Marquez and Saparbek Safarov. Marquez, known as “The Cuban Missile Crisis,” currently holds seven wins and two losses. Out of this professional MMA record, he tallied six wins via knockout and one through submission.  Last July, he competed at the UFC 27 Finale against Chris Tognoni but was unsuccessful.

In the next few days, he will fight Saparbek Safarov to take a chance in robbing the Middleweight Division belt. Safarov is a more veteran player than Marquez and had been into MMA for ten years. Aside from the Middleweight Division title, he is also a Light Heavyweight Champion.

Safarov, who is a Russian native, currently records nine wins and three losses. The same with his rival, he successfully garnered six knockout victories, two via submissions, and one through a decision.

Abdul Razak Alhassan V.S. Khaos Williams

Abdul Razak Alhassan and Khaos Williams will joust in the Welterweight division of the UFC Fight Night 183. The “Judo Thunder” Alhassan will defend his Welterweight belt against Williams. This Ghanian native MMA fighter has worked in the professional UFC for seven years and has made huge achievements since then. Looking into his records, he had tallied ten victories and two losses. Indeed, Williams will have a tough job to accomplish.

Khaos Williams, known as “Khaos The Ox Fighter,” will also give Alhassan a  difficult job to defend his title. Accomplishing ten victories and only one loss since he started his MMA career, Williams will do big in the UFC Fight Night 183. Today, he is the only UFC player that made seven-win streaks in two years. His last fight against Alex Moreno in UFC 247 was a big leap for him after finishing the game via knockout in Round 1.

Islam Makhachev V.S. Rafael dos Anjos

Closing the UFC Fight Night 183  is the main event in the Lightweight Division, which is a fight between Islam Makhachev and Rafael dos Anjos. This event was almost canceled after dos Anjos was tested positive for COVID-19. Fortunately, he recovered, and the game remained intact. Rafael dos Anjos is a current Welterweight titleholder who has been into professional MMA for ten years. He recorded 29 wins and thirteen losses since he began his career.

On the other hand, Islam Makhachev, a Russian native, will defend his title in the Lightweight Division against dos Anjos. The same with his rival, he had been into the professional UFC for ten years. That said, he currently accomplished 18 victories and one loss.

Takeaway

Amidst the possibility of getting suspended, the UFC Fight Night 183 will push through, featuring four main events in the next few days. Also, there is no audience to anticipate at the venue due to high health security measures.

However, the event will be aired via its selected network, and the betting games are indeed taking place online. Don’t forget to get the latest news about the MMA players as they wrestle one more time to get and defend the belt they deserve.

Riddle joins the Raw men’s 2020 Survivor Series team

The Raw men’s Survivor Series team is now complete after yesterday, Riddle became the fifth and final member of the team. Riddle wrestled a triple threat second-chance match which also included Jeff Hardy and Elias to grab the final spot.

Riddle, who a few weeks ago “lost” his first name, will now join AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, Keith Lee, and Sheamus as they take on Jey Uso, Kevin Owens, Baron Corbin, Seth Rollins, and another Smackdown Superstar still yet to be determined in a traditional five-on-five Survivor Series elimination match.

The final member of the Smackdown Survivor Series men’s team is expected to be decided this Friday on the show.

Last year, Keith Lee had an MVP performance at the Survivor Series, although he was representing the black and gold brand back then and narrowly lost to Roman Reigns. Riddle was also part of that NXT team.
