The post-Hell In A Cell Monday Night Raw drew 1,732,000 viewers, down 44,000 viewers from last week’s show, with the show not getting any usual post-PPV bump.
The first hour started with 1,859,000 viewers, then dropped to 1,752,000 viewers, before ending the night with 1,585,000 viewers. The show lost quarter of a million viewers along the way and suffered big time in the third hour.
Raw was #6, #7, and #8 in the top 50 cable chart among the 18-49 demographic with 0.54, 0.51, and 0.47 ratings respectively. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)
Meiko Satomura, the co-founder of Sendai Girls’ Pro Wrestling and one of the most highly-respected wrestlers in the world, will be joining the NXT UK brand according to a story by Tokyo Sports.
Satomura said that she would be limiting her appearances with Sendai Girls and wants to move to a new stage in her career and while she didn’t give a reason why her work with Sendai Girls will decrease, Tokyo Sports said that the 40-year-old will be traveling to the UK in November to be part of the next NXT UK television tapings and also be a coach.
During a press conference, Satomura did not confirm the NXT UK news but told reporters that she would be giving more information once everything is confirmed.
In 2018, she participated in the Mae Young Classic tournament, her first association with WWE during her illustrious career. She also served as a guest coach at the WWE Performance Center during the year.
While the Raw Women’s team is set, the men’s team members all have to go through an elimination match to make the group.
The trio of AJ Styles, Keith Lee, and Sheamus all won their elimination matches against Jeff Hardy, Elias, and Matt Riddle respectively. The other two members of the team will be decided next week.
Keith Lee, then under the NXT brand, had the most impressive outing last year during the Survivor Series elimination match.
The Raw Women’s Survivor Series team was announced last night on Raw, with four women hand picked to be part of the team while the last member had to wrestle in a fatal four-way match to earn her spot.
Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Mandy Rose, and Dana Brooke were automatically chosen to form the team and then a match between Nikki Cross, Lana, Peyton Royce, and Lacey Evans was held to find out who will be the fifth and final member to join the team.
The match ended with Lana winning the encounter, joining the Raw’s team. However, her celebration did not last long as when she went to hug Nia Jax, Jax put her through the Raw announce table…again!
At this year’s Survivor Series, champions from Raw will take on champions from Smackdown in non-title matches, continuing the tradition of the past few years.
The four matches scheduled right now are WWE champ Randy Orton vs Universal champ Roman Reigns, Raw Women’s champion Asuka vs Smackdown Women’s champion Sasha Banks, United States champion Bobby Lashley vs Intercontinental champion Sami Zayn, and Raw Tag Team champions The New Day vs Smackdown Tag Team champions The Street Profits.
One thing that is certainly different from last year is the exclusion of NXT. NXT was heavily featured in the run-up to the Survivor Series as well as during the show but this year the black and gold brand is nowhere to be seen.
Gone are the days when people would consider CBD oil and other hemp-based products as taboo. Today, people are adding CBD oil to their diets as this product promises countless health benefits, most of which aren’t present in most over-the-counter drugs. If you want to know the benefits of CBD oil and if it’s safe or not, then read on.
CBD is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound, which is extracted from hemp oil, making it very beneficial in treating various ailments and conditions. Since CBD oil, allegedly, doesn’t cause any damage to the body, there are no side effects, or at least it’s very minimal, that you should worry about.
Listed below are some of the uses of CBD oil:
May Reduce Chronic Body Pain
One of the most common benefits of CBD oil is for treating pain. There are a number of ailments that can be caused by chronic pain, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, fibroid tumors, fibrosis, and spondylitis. When left untreated, these can take a toll on a person’s daily activities.
According to studies, CBD oil can reduce chronic pain because of its anti-inflammatory properties. CBD oil can relax the joints and muscles, helping relieve chronic body pain. The compounds found in CBD oil can also interact with the receptors in your brain to signal the body to increase its pain tolerance.
Unlike over-the-counter pain relievers, CBD oil doesn’t create tolerance or dependency. This means that you can use CBD oil in the same dosage for long periods and expect the same results.
So, start reading through reliable online sources, such as Chong’s nano CBD reviews, and then start looking for CBD oils to treat body pain you may be experiencing.
May Treat Depression And Anxiety
The next benefit of CBD oil that has gained attention is its potential use in treating depression and anxiety. Your mental health is important because it affects your ability to accomplish tasks during the day and socialize with other people. If you’re suffering from depression and anxiety, you won’t be able to do any of these things.
CBD oil may help treat depression and anxiety because it can encourage the brain to produce more serotonin, which is responsible for your mood and social behavior. By having normal levels of this neurotransmitter in your brain, it’ll make it easy for you to ward off stress and prevent mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression.
May Improve The Quality Of Your Sleep
Sleep is essential to your overall health and wellness. Your efforts to live a healthy lifestyle will be useless if you neglect to sleep for at least eight hours every night. Fortunately, this is something that CBD oil can help you with.
CBD oil may help improve the quality of your sleep because it’s reported to treat two of the most common causes of insomnia–body pains and anxiety. Regardless of how tired you are, if your body is throbbing in pain or if your mind is filled with negative thoughts, it’ll be challenging for you to get some shuteye every night.
If you often see yourself deprived of sleep, let CBD oil help. Adding this product to your daily routine will make it easy for you to fall and stay asleep.
May Boost Skin Health
Aside from affecting your appearance, your skin is actually one of the biggest and most important organs of the body because it acts as a barrier against germs and bacteria. Your skin holds all of your organs together and regulates your body temperature.
If you want to boost your skin health, add CBD oil to your skincare routine. This product may do wonders for your skin because it can regulate oil production in the body. Often, the human body produces too much oil because of stress, which can make you susceptible to acne breakouts and other common skin conditions, such as eczema and psoriasis.
CBD oil can keep your skin healthy because it ensures that the body will only produce normal or regular levels of oil. This amount of oil will keep your skin moisturized, and prevent dust and dirt from being trapped in your pores.
Talk To Your Doctor
CBD oil is becoming very popular for people who are looking to treat ailments and injuries caused by old age, disease, stress, and other sources of bodily pain. People who suffer from chronic headaches, muscle spasms, nausea, muscle weakness, and even back pain have seen relief from their problems when they use CBD oil.
If you’re planning to do the same, it’s best if you consult your doctor first. Today, CBD oils come in many varieties and dosages, and asking for recommendations from your doctor will ensure that you’ll only use CBD oil that’s suitable for your health needs.
Friday Night Smackdown on FS1 last Friday did just 881,000 viewers, down 1,243,000 viewers from last week’s episode which aired on FOX. Smackdown was pre-empted from FOX due to MLB which did 8 million viewers in its place. The show did a 0.25 in the 18-49 demographic and placed #15 in overall viewership for the night on cable. Talking Smack which aired right after Smackdown did an additional 343,000 viewers. Last year, when Smackdown aired on FS1, the show did 888,000 viewers. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)
After Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson endorsed Joe Biden for the 2020 United States presidential election, another Hollywood star and former WWE champion followed suit, this time Dave Bautista.
The WWE Hall of Famer has even taped a commercial for the Biden/Harris campaign, saying that it’s easy to lie and bully people and be a tough guy as images of President Donald Trump flashed on the screen.
“It’s easy to tell someone what they want to hear. It’s not easy to tell someone what they need to hear,” Bautista says. He goes on saying that the country needs someone to have a plan to get them back on track and a leader who can unite people and that person is Joe Biden.
The commercial ends with Joe Biden’s voice saying, “I’m Joe Biden and I approve this message.”
Bautista’s Twitter is pretty much just politics at the moment, retweeting a lot of pro-Democrats material bashing Trump. He has often spoken publicly against the President and fellow Hall of Famer so his endorsement of Biden came to no surprise.
Jon Alba of Spectrum Sports 360 published the extended contract between WWE and The Amway Center which lists the date of November 24, 2020 as the final date of the agreement.
The one-page agreement was signed on September 3 by WWE Senior Vice President of Live Events John Porco and Allen Johnson, the Chief Venues Officer at Orlando Venues.
The extended agreement makes no mention of fans being able to be part of the ThunderDome and no terms were changed apart from the date.
It’s worth noting that the NBA is targeting a December 22 start date for the 2020/21 season which would mean that WWE cannot have complete control of the Amway Center once the NBA sets a start date to the season. A two-week notice is required for an extension or termination of the current deal.
As it is, WWE leaves the venue unchanged and they don’t have to dismantle and set up for every Raw and Smackdown.
I have received the amendment to the contract between the city of Orlando and #WWE to hold the ThunderDome at Amway Center. Officially, it runs through November 24. pic.twitter.com/QRLMiCzb1k
Otis is no longer the holder of the Money In The Bank contract after last night at Hell In A Cell, The Miz won the match and took possession of the briefcase thanks to an unlikely ally – Tucker!
Tucker, who up until the draft was Otis’ tag team partner in Heavy Machinery, turned on him by hitting him with the briefcase, allowing The Miz to cover him for the pin. In an interview after the match, Tucker said he was the one who carried the team and while he treated Otis like a brother, he was just an afterthought for Otis.
With this loss, Otis becomes the second WWE Superstar to win the Money In The Bank ladder match but failed to even try to cash in. Back in 2007, Mr. Kennedy won the MITB match at WrestleMania but lost the contract against Edge a month later. Edge cashed in the day after winning it during the Smackdown tapings, beating The Undertaker.
There have been four other Superstars who failed to cash in the briefcase successfully. These are John Cena, Damien Sandow, Baron Corbin, and Braun Strowman. Cena’s cash in at the Raw 1000 episode against CM Punk ended up in a DQ win for him so the title did not change hands. Sandow cashed in on Cena in 2013 but lost the match clean, while Corbin also lost the match against champion Jinder Mahal in 2017. Strowman’s cash in on Roman Reigns in 2018 at Hell In A Cell ended in a no contest after Brock Lesnar interfered and attacked both men.
The Miz now becomes a two-time MITB briefcase holder. He successfully cashed in on the November 22, 2010 episode of Monday Night Raw in Orlando against Randy Orton. Will history repeat itself? The Survivor Series is on November 22…in the same arena where The Miz cashed in on Orton ten years ago. The Miz is now part of Raw, and the WWE champion on Raw is none other than…Randy Orton!
Pro wrestling has a long history of luring athletes to the squared circle. In the past, many ex-American football players, basketball stars, and other athletes joined wrestling to make more money than in their respective sports. Today, many athletes including Tyson Fury and Ronda Rousey have worked with the WWE as an alternative to their combat sports careers and financial gain.
English soccer player Adebayo Akinfenwa could be the next ex-sport star to join the WWE. Akinfenwa, who currently plays for EFL Championship club Wycombe Wanderers, has long been a fan of the WWE and now wants to parlay his love of wrestling into a career in the ring. Combat sports fans are anticipating the UFC 255 fight card. Fight fans can get the latest nj online gambling news and betting reviews before wagering on the fighters and bouts at the upcoming event.
Akinfenwa revealed he is “in talks” with the WWE about joining the company recently. The soccer player would be getting a very late start on a professional wrestling career. Akinfenwa is currently 38-years old, but could be used by the WWE in a variety of ways that limit the wear and tear on his body.
Known as “The Beast”, Akinfenwa is renowned for his size and agility. The soccer player is 6ft 1in and weighs 224lbs. It is an incredible weight for a soccer player, yet his ability to move around the soccer field demonstrates the athletic ability he possesses. The striker is famed for his strength which is the heights of all players on the new FIFA ‘21 videogame.
If Akinfenwa joins the WWE, he would not be the first soccer player to leave the fields of Europe for the company’s Performance Center in Florida. In 2014, former Germany international goalkeeper Tim Wiese joined the WWE Performance Center with the aim of being the company’s German star. Wiese had played a the highest level in Germany with Werder Bremen and Hoffenheim before hanging up his gloves.
The ex-goalkeeper hit the weights following his retirement from soccer and changed his body from a lean look to a beefy brawler. Wiese spent two years in the Performance Center and even made his WWE debut in Munich in November 2016. He teamed up with Sheamus and Cesaro in a tag team match, however, in 2017, Wiese put wrestling on hold and left the WWE.
The big difference between Akinfenwa and Wiese is age. When Wiese left the WWE in 2016, he was 35-years old. Akinfenwa is 38 currently.
Seeking media PR in the United Kingdom and Europe, the WWE previously worked with Wayne Rooney in 2015. Rooney slapped former WWE wrestler and British grappler Wade Barrett during a show in the UK. The WWE played up a storyline that developed organically between the duo on Twitter, where Barrett criticized Rooney for diving to get a penalty in a soccer game. Akinfenwa’s public appeal isn’t as great as Wiese nor Rooney’s, so it is anyone’s guess if he would raise interest in the company overseas.
Talking up his potential career move into the WWE, Akinfenwa recently tweeted that he is available for the Royal Rumble. In addition to telling the WWE to contact him on social media, the soccer player also put out a challenge to Brock Lesnar and Drew McIntyre.
Bayley’s historic 380-day reign as Smackdown Women’s champion came to an end last night at Hell In A Cell with her former best friend Sasha Banks winning her first Smackdown Women’s title in a 26-minute cage match.
With two title runs, Bayley had a combined 520-day reign with the Smackdown Women’s title, more than double of Becky Lynch who is in the second place in overall combined days as champ.
Bayley won the title during an episode of Smackdown on October 11 last year in Las Vegas, beating Charlotte Flair five days after she lost it to Flair at Hell In A Cell. Since that day, Bayley owned the Smackdown women’s division and beat everyone who came her way.
Sasha Banks now ranks second in most championship reigns in the WWE women’s division with seven in total, trailing only Charlotte Flair who has 12.
But Sasha’s biggest problem is the inability to defend the title after winning it, with most of her title reigns ending just after one unsuccessful title defense lately.
WWE will celebrate 30 years of The Undertaker at the upcoming Survivor Series pay-per-view.
Taker, who is not expected to wrestle during the show, will be live in person inside the ThunderDome though at the same pay-per-view which he made his debut 30 years ago. A commercial for the Survivor Series hyping “Phenom Forever” aired yesterday during Hell In A Cell.
On November 22, 1990, The Undertaker was accompanied by Brother Love as the mystery partner of The Million Dollar Team, captained by Ted DiBiase and also featuring Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine. The four wrestled The Dream Team which included team captain Dusty Rhodes, Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, and Koko B. Ware. Taker eliminated Koko B. Ware and Dusty Rhodes in the match and then got himself counted out after a brawl with Dusty.
Five years ago, WWE also celebrated the 25th anniversary of the arrival of The Dead Man and The Undertaker teamed up with Kane to take on The Wyatt Family, a match which they won. That was the last time that The Undertaker wrestled at the Survivor Series.
Chris Jericho, who just celebrated 30 years in the business himself with an episode of Dynamite on TNT, tweeted his congratulations to The Undertaker. “Congrats to 30 years of the @undertaker!!! That is a monumental accomplishment!!!” he wrote.
While there’s a lot of time to pass and plenty of training to be done, it seems as if the stars are aligning for a dream WrestleMania rematch between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch.
It is a leap of faith, given that Rousey had seemingly turned her back on the industry when leaving WWE and that Lynch is heavily pregnant with her first child.
But the rumor mill is in full flight after Paul Heyman intimated rather heavily that perhaps Rousey isn’t quite done with wrestling quite yet. “I don’t understand why people don’t realize that perhaps, just perhaps, Ronda Rousey’s contract has been extended or she has worked out a new deal, and it would not benefit either WWE or Ronda Rousey to go public with that information,” he told the New York Post.
The former UFC star hasn’t been seen inside a WWE ring since WrestleMania 35, where she locked horns with Lynch and Charlotte Flair in a history-making encounter – the first all-female clash to headline the firm’s flagship event.
Big thanks to @rondarousey & @travisbrownemma for the invite to do a little wrestling around. I’ve met a lot of people that come from different sports but none besides @therealkurtangle that have the respect for pro wrestling like she does. pic.twitter.com/i0vjd5vQI2
But Rousey has spent the intervening period dissing the WWE universe for a perceived lack of respect they had shown her, which could be taken at face value or as a way of building heat for her heel return. What’s more, she was photographed at a training camp with former TNA champ James Storm in October.
As for Lynch, she is very much still part of the WWE family and an epic return is very much on the cards if all goes to plan. Due to give birth in December, the Irish star could begin a gentle build-up as soon as February – for reference, long-distance runner Paula Radcliffe was running just 12 days after giving birth and won the New York Marathon nine months later. All pregnancies are different, but Vince McMahon will be hoping all goes smoothly for ‘The Man’.
Further intrigue is added by the fact that both Rousey and Lynch feature in the sports betting odds for the Royal Rumble 2021, with the former well fancied at +650 and the latter a general +1100. That suggests either could be in amongst the business end of the 30-woman battle royal, with the winner going on to headline WrestleMania 36 next March.
Timing is Everything
There will be plenty of appetite for Rousey vs Lynch in singles action, and the headline bill at WrestleMania would be a fitting way to showcase their talents.
But it would put tremendous pressure on an athlete who hasn’t been inside a wrestling ring for 18 months, and a first-time mom who may experience some of the physical repercussions that childbirth brings.
For what it’s worth, Becky Lynch WAS backstage at SmackDown this week.
I believe Ringside News reported it. I asked about it and it’s accurate.
Rousey’s return will surely come first, and that is likely to be precipitated by victory in the Royal Rumble match – that seems more likely than Sasha Banks winning the Rumble and taking on Bayley in a feud at ‘Mania that, at that point, would be more than six months old.
And, of course, we have to consider Asuka in all of this. She has carried the women’s division on RAW for months, and it would be harsh if she was steamrolled to make Rousey vs Lynch happen. Could she take her place in a triple threat battle with the duo?
With Rousey booking her spot at WrestleMania, hypothetically speaking, by winning the Rumble, the scene would be set for Lynch to return in February, beat Asuka at Elimination Chamber and set-up the eagerly anticipated ‘rematch’ between two of the hardest-hitting female wrestlers around.
Improbable? Possibly. But it’s certainly not impossible…
Randy Orton is two world title reigns away from reaching Ric Flair and John Cena, a small elite group who call themselves 16-time world champions.
With his win against Drew McIntyre last night at Hell In A Cell, Orton moved to 14 world title reigns overall with the WWE and World Heavyweight title and matched Triple H’s number.
The Viper has 10 reigns as WWE champion, with 659 days and counting combined as champion in addition to four reigns as World Heavyweight champion with 135 days combined as champion. Orton has never won the Universal title.
In a tweet addressed to Ric Flair, John Cena, and Triple H, Orton wrote, “I am part of an elite list, a very very short list…. of Legends. I suppose that makes me a … yup you guessed it… #legend #14x.
Here are the results from last night’s Hell In A Cell pay-per-view which took place from the ThunderDome inside the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.
R-Truth defeated Drew Gulak to retain the 24/7 title in the Kickoff show; Roman Reigns defeated Jey Uso in an I Quit Hell In A Cell match to retain the Universal title; Elias defeated Jeff Hardy via disqualification; The Miz defeated Otis to win the Money In The Bank contract; Sasha Banks defeated Bayley to win the Smackdown Women’s title in a Hell In A Cell match; Bobby Lashley defeated Slapjack to retain the United States title; Randy Orton defeated Drew McIntyre to win the WWE title in a Hell In A Cell match.
We are back in the ThunderDome tonight for the 2020 edition of Hell In A Cell. This year, there are three Hell In A Cell matches on the card, a record for one night.
Speaking of the card, there are only five matches announced so far although it would not be surprising if a match or two will be added during the show. Odds are correct at time of this post going live.
In the first of three Hell In A Cell matches, Roman Reigns remains the overwhelming favorite with odds of 1/25 to retain the Universal title while his challenger and cousin Jey Uso is at 8/1 for the big upset.
The WWE title will also be decided tonight inside the steel structure with Drew McIntyre putting up the gold on the line against Randy Orton. The Scottish Psychopath is 1/2 favorite to win the match while Orton is 6/4 to add another title reign.
Perhaps the most anticipated Hell In A Cell match is the one between former best friends Bayley and Sasha Banks. The current Smackdown Women’s champion, Bayley, is the underdog with odds of 13/8 as bookies are backing Sasha Banks to win the match tonight with odds of 4/9.
In the other two matches announced, Otis is favorite with 8/15 odds to retain the Money In The Bank contract against The Miz who is 11/8 and Elias is 4/7 favorite to beat Jeff Hardy who has odds of 5/4.
Between the six competitors who will be participating in a Hell In A Cell match tonight, they have been inside the structure 13 times collectively. Two of them are walking in the cage for the very first time.
This is the eighth time that Randy Orton will be setting inside the Hell In A Cell structure. He won four of those encounters – against John Cena, Sheamus, Daniel Bryan, and Jeff Hardy – and lost three – against The Undertaker, Mark Henry, and John Cena. For Drew McIntyre, this is a new match for him and it’s his first time in Hell In A Cell.
Roman Reigns has only participated in three previous Hell In A Cell matches, so this will be his fourth one. He has two victories – against Bray Wyatt and Rusev – and the other one against Braun Strowman ended in a no contest when Brock Lesnar interfered. Jey Uso will be entering his second Hell In A Cell match although it’s his first as a solo. His first match inside the structure came with his brother Jimmy against The New Day.
Sasha Banks is getting ready for her third time inside Hell In A Cell and holds the record for the most appearances by a female. However, her record has zero wins and two losses, with Banks losing against Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. Bayley, on the other hand, is entering in the structure for the very first time.
The Undertaker holds the record for most appearances inside Hell In A Cell, with a whopping 14 matches, winning eight of them and losing the rest. Triple H is next with nine appearances, winning six and losing three.
Hello everybody! It’s @TheMagnumDA with your HELL IN A CELL Pick’em report. Tonight, Colin and I are going to step into hell, and only one will walk away with the WOPC Championship. We’re trying a new scoring system this evening – Colin and I will be making our picks using Confidence Points. At publishing time, there were only 5 major matches announced for the show. Using 1-5 points, we’ll be making our picks for tonight’s show. If there’s a tie, the champion (me) retains their title.
With that, ON WITH THE PICKS!
Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship Bayley (c) vs. Sasha Banks
Colin: A match which I would have loved if it was in front of a live crowd. Bayley and Sasha have been the best thing in WWE this year. Love the whole program. I would have worked this differently and only have them wrestle at WrestleMania. But we get this now. Sasha needs a win and a decent title reign. Bayley’s days as champion are over. Long live the Legit Boss – four points.
Magnum: I’ve also enjoyed Bayley and Sasha this entire year. They’re serious candidates for MVP (no pun intended) of 2020 – both as a tag team, and here in this feud. Great promos, lots of good build-up, and considering that Bayley hit the one-year mark of her title reign, it’s time for The Boss to step up and take the reigns. Sasha Banks wins the title – four points.
Jeff Hardy vs. Elias
Colin: It’s not like I really care for this match to be honest. Jeff is sort of floating around and Elias has just come back from an injury. I would think Elias gets this win here – two points.
Magnum: Jeff Hardy’s had a nice little run in 2020, but I think this is the start for Elias’ big push. Give me Elias in a decisive victory – three points.
“Money in the Bank” Contract Match Otis (contract holder) vs. The Miz
Colin: Otis winning the Money In The Bank ladder match was an odd decision in the first place. I can’t see him cashing in against Drew or Roman. I can see a chicken-shit heel like The Miz attempt it – and fail – though. But, having said that, the MITB winner has a year to cash in and we’re just half way there so far. So I’m picking Otis to win and keep the contract – three points.
Magnum: Yeah, “Law and Otis” didn’t really do it for me on Smackdown…and I don’t think things are going to get much better for Otis. I hate when the briefcase changes hands like this, but you wouldn’t book this match if you didn’t intend to move the briefcase. Yes, there’s precedents…but I can’t shake the feeling that Otis is getting screwed. Miz wins – one point.
Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Championship Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Randy Orton
Colin: Man, how many times Orton has to lose in this feud? Now mind you, Drew has been an excellent champion so far and I feel bad for him for not having any fans live during his whole reign. If this feud is continuing, Orton will win here. If this feud is ending tonight, then Drew is winning this one. I’m still not sure which way it will go, but I’m going to say Drew wins it – one point.
Magnum: I’m not sure what the endgame is, anymore. Edge seems content writing for Smackdown right now…so if he’s not going to come back and face Orton, then I don’t see any reason for Orton to win the title here. I went against Drew before…I can’t go against him again. Give me Drew to retain the gold – two points.
“I Quit” Hell in a Cell match for the WWE Universal Championship Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman) vs. Jey Uso
If Jey Uso loses, he and his brother Jimmy Uso will have to take orders and acknowledge Reigns as The Tribal Chief or The Usos and their immediate families will be exiled from the Anoa’i family.
Colin: Get ready for Jey Uso to be Roman’s bitch for a few months, because we all know that’s going to happen. Reigns is going to win this one and he’s gonna force Jey to do the dirty work for the tribal chief. There’s no other scenario for me. I’m loving the new Roman Reigns and I hope it really ends with a Reigns vs Rock match sometime down the road for the real chief of the family. Roman wins – five points.
Magnum: This one might have the most foregone conclusion…we know Roman is going to win this match. What’s interesting about it is how they get there. I actually think that Jimmy is going to cost Jey the match, ensuring that both Usos join Roman Reigns’ tribe. I’m not sure if it all leads to Rock’s return, as Colin mentioned…but man, that’d be a hell of a storyline twist. Rock vs. Reigns and The Usos. Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves, though. First things first: Roman retains – five points.
That’s going to do it for the Pick’em crew! We’ll see you next month for the SURVIVOR SERIES!!! @TheMagnumDA signing off.
As you might have probably noticed already, Kylie Rae did not wrestle Deonna Purrazzo during Bound For Glory yesterday as advertised and Rae was replaced by Su Yung, who won the Impact Knockouts title from Purrazzo.
During the show, there was no information given as to why the switch was made and there was no mention of Kyle Rae. The reason why the company was not very transparent about the situation was because they had no idea what happened to Rae.
According to Fightful Wrestling and Wrestling Observer, Rae went AWOL yesterday after she made her way to Nashville on Friday. Rae did not show up at all at the Skyway Studios and no one had any idea where she was and why she decided to skip the show.
Sean Ross Sapp from Fightful said that during the day there was concern from the Impact locker room as to her whereabouts since no one heard from her. With no location or update from Rae, the company decided to pull her name from the show and replace her with Su Yung. Sapp also adds to the story that when colleagues reached out to individuals close to Rae, they were told that Rae was alive.
Rae was the first person to leave All Elite Wrestling after signing a contract and details surrounding her departure were kept secret.
PWInsider.com is reporting that Heath Miller was scheduled to win the Call Your Shot gauntlet match last night at Bound For Glory but was injured after he came into the match.
There was a stipulation that if he or Rhino win the match, then Heath would get a contract with Impact Wrestling but if both failed, Rhino would be fired.
The final two individuals in the match were set to be Heath and Sami Callihan but after the injury, the ending was changed on the fly, with Callihan eliminating Heath but Rhino winning the match. The ending still achieved the result of Heath getting a contract.
“This sucks…. I’m sorry to everyone. But big thanks to @Rhyno313 @IMPACTWRESTLING #BFG2020,” Miller tweeted afterward from what looks like a hospital bed.
There’s no news yet on how serious the injury is or how long Heath will be out of action for.
