Tonight’s match between Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler will be a non-title one, a u-turn from the previous announcement.
Apart from that, the champion this time is choosing the stipulation and combining it with the fact that it is a non-title match, this whole thing ends up making zero sense with the challenger having nothing to gain.
The non-title match change was announced on WWE.COM where it said that McIntyre “agreed” to face Ziggler. McIntyre will announce the match stipulation before the match.
Did Sasha Banks spoil the result of her title match against Asuka from tomorrow’s Raw?
Eagle-eyed viewers pointed out that a tweet Sasha posted yesterday posing with both the WWE Women’s Tag Team and the Raw Women’s titles shows that the Raw Women’s title has the Banks side plates, and not the Asuka ones as before.
Banks has been parading around with the Raw Women’s title ever since her match at Extreme Rules ended even though she did not technically win the title on that day. But Sasha is now getting her rematch tomorrow night on Raw, a match which has already been taped as tomorrow’s Raw was taped this past Monday.
The tweet Sasha posted says, “Getting HANDED a title does not make you a Champion…. taking it does,” tagging Asuka and also using the hashtags #ScrewYouBecky, #ThankYouVince, #SmackDown, and #RAW.
Accompanying the text was a new photo of Sasha laughing with the Women’s Tag Team title around her waist and the Raw Women’s title with her Legit Boss side plates on her shoulder.
Sports betting has recently seen a major expansion in the betting market over the past few years. With the betting bids now taking part in a legalized market, this has helped the pro wrestling scene as well and benefited them extremely. The WWE, for example, has been able to gross a pair of television deals worth a massive $2 billion.
But things have not always been quite so rosy between the pro wrestling scene and the betting market. Not long ago a few bookmakers started taking wagers on professional wrestling and created quite the buzz with sports bettors. Mike Tyson’s confrontation with Steve Austin or WWE’s Ronda Rousey infused the addition of pro wrestling wagers and became a hot topic. Questions were laid upon the legitimacy of betting on something like the WWE which is quite scripted. However, there are some of the WWE industries that believe there is a potential in betting in the wrestling scene in spite of scripted finishes. The WWE grosses in tons of dollars between January and April each year as the famous Road to WrestleMania takes place during this time around.
Several online betting sites and bookers have been accepting bets on pro wrestlers and recently insiders have seen the betting trend on pro wrestling increase similarly to the betting world on MMA or Boxing. Several enthusiasts who have been studying this scene for years have reflected that people can make tons of money out of betting in this sport but you need to be smart and know the people and the industry.
The popularity of pro wrestling: An overview
With all that being said, let’s understand why the pro wrestling betting scene is garnering so much attention now. The WWE fan base is massive and there’s no doubt about it but it is scripted and there are very few people who know the outcome of every match and they guard all that information with their lives. For this reason, several online sportsbooks allow fans to bet on the outcomes of these major events. Mostly these online sites allow you to bet on a season-long winner or a winner of any particular match and these sites give some extra mullah to new players that give them more attention in return. But it gets furthermore interesting with the fact that now some of these people who already know the outcome of these scripted matches spill out the beans and thus as a result of the leakage there’s plenty of opportunities for more and more bettors to get a lot of money in the bank. However, there is a limit set for the patrons on the amount they can bet up to but think about it from the perspective of a recreational player. It’s surely quite a lot of money for them.
There is a definite strategy involved in betting on the WWE event and there’s quite a lot of brainstorming to do when you are betting on these events and this makes prospective bettors furthermore interested. For someone who has been studying these scripted matches could make tons of money betting on these events. All you have to do is study the writers who have been staging these matches. These writers have a certain preference pattern towards certain wrestlers and if you can determine who they would stage up to win an event or a matchup then you are almost through to getting some dollars in your bank account. All these writers want to do is create an exciting show, so all you have to do as a bettor is formulate a game plan according to their storyline.
The sportsbooks have just as much clue as to who is going to win an event just like we do and therefore, they set their booking lines in that manner. They do their best to go through insider newsletters or future booking plans when setting their lines. As we dive into this more and more, we see that the old days of pro wrestling, where the results were well protected like a dirty secret, has been replaced by sophisticated storylines and a new arrangement of the WWE network and the die-hard confused fans are willing to bet their cash on decided outcomes that are being influenced by insiders money.
Speaking aside from the profit you can harvest from betting on the WWE there is still the question of risk. Nevertheless, the risk is very limited. As mentioned earlier sportsbooks limit the amount of action that they are willing to take on the WWE and thus the amount of money that anyone is physically capable of losing is also limited.
Summing up
To sum it all up the WWE fanbase is massive and the option of betting on these events gives the die-hard fans the chance of making some extra cash.
WWE Superstar Angel Garza tied the knot with Zaide Lozano in Orlando, Florida, a couple of days ago.
Garza proposed to Lozano in the middle of the ring in December during an episode of NXT after winning the Cruiserweight title. She also appeared on an April episode of Raw when she posed as a photographer and received a kiss from Garza during his entrance.
“JUST MARRIED! YES, yes for life! I love you,” Lozano wrote in a post on Instagram.
Lozano is a TV host on Mexican television as well as an interviewer for Monterrey football club.

Friday Night Smackdown on FOX did 1,970,000 in the ratings last night although that number could be slightly misleading as there was a market which aired MLB instead and aired Smackdown at the 11PM time slot. How that affects the final number will be determined on Tuesday when the final rating is published.
Smackdown had 1,985,000 viewers in the first hour and 1,956,000 viewers in the second hour and for now had 77,000 viewers more than last week. As always, in terms of viewership, Smackdown placed last but took #1 in the 18-49 demo with a 0.5 rating and was second in 18-34. (Ratings credit: Showbuzzdaily.com)
On July 20, WWE applied to trademark the NXT UK Heritage Cup name with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The application was processed on July 23 with the only entry being “Entertainment services, namely, a show about professional wrestling” and its distribution.
The name sounds like a tournament of some sort that will be held in NXT UK once the brand resumes television tapings. NXT UK has not had new content since March due to the coronavirus pandemic as most of the people in charge of running the show are located in the United States. The United Kingdom was also hit hard with COVID-19 and businesses only started reopening this month.
Slots are undoubtedly the most popular casino games in land-based and online gambling venues alike. The advent of high-speed internet revolutionized the iGaming sector tremendously by increasing the quality and convenience of casino gaming. The epitome is certainly the introduction of mobile gambling sites that allow players to play their favorite slot games on the go.
In this article, we’ll take a look at how to start playing mobile slots.
Where to play mobile slots
In order to play mobile slot games, you first need to find a mobile casino that offers them. The rapid growth of the casino industry has led to a rapid increase in the number of mobile casinos. These casinos offer a wide variety of mobile slots from the top software developers in the industry. However, it’s important that you select a trustworthy site, especially if you want to play slots for real money.
In addition to a multitude of mobile slots, the best mobile casinos offer a wide variety of payment options, guaranteed fairness, efficient customer support, and excellent compatibility with your mobile device. Lastly, you can check out the free spins and other bonuses that can provide you with extended gameplay.
Types of mobile slots
Mobile casinos offer a wide variety of slot games. Here are some of the most popular ones:
3-reel mobile slots
The classic 3-reel slot is based on the original physical machines. Easy to play, all you have to do is match the symbols along the top, middle or bottom line to win.
5-reel slots
Most mobile slots moved away from the classic 3 reel design, partially because advanced programming made it possible to make the games more attractive and exciting.
Progressive slots
These are the games where the value of the jackpot increases by a small amount each time if it is not won during the game.
Gaming buttons
Once you’ve found a trustworthy casino to play your favorite mobile slot game, you should maneuver through the game. Below are some of the buttons that are critical to playing.
Bet – First, you’ll find arrows next to the Coin or Bet value sections that provide you with the ability to increase or decrease the bet size.
Spin – The Spin button is the option that allows players to turn the reels and reveal the outcomes. It is a common button that is present in all mobile slot games.
Autoplay – The Autoplay option turns the reels uninterruptedly for a predetermined number of times thus increasing your chances of winning on the same bet and speeding up the gameplay.
BetMax – The Bet Max option allows players to automatically place the highest possible bet.
Winning strategies
The strategies for winning in mobile slots are the same as the ones in online slots. For new players, it’s best to start by playing the free demo versions as they’ll allow you to get familiar with the rules and other features of the slot. Also, these games are fun to play and will provide you with a perfect opportunity to try the games as you decide whether to play on mobile or not.
Two individuals who have been an integral part of Smackdown lately but have not been seen in over a month will be returning next week.
Both Money In The Bank winner Otis and Mandy Rose will be part of the broadcast next week on FOX with their “love story” resuming. A feature aired on Smackdown last night recapping their storyline before announcing the couple’s return.
There has been a lot of speculation that several missing talent who have not showed up on TV lately were all hit with coronavirus as a story last month suggested that over 30 WWE Superstars and crew tested positive.
Due to HIPAA laws, WWE cannot reveal who tested positive unless the individual announces it himself or herself.

Sapp says that there were rumors that Blanchard wanted a “large sum of money” to return the title belt but that was denied by her camp, saying that Impact only provided a return address this past week. Blanchard has been living in Mexico and never attended any Impact tapings since the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
Blanchard, who was eventually stripped off the title and fired from Impact Wrestling, is said to be making sure that the Impact World title safely returns to its rightful owners.
After making history and winning the title this past January, Blanchard never defended the title.

Cryptocurrencies are permeating almost every sector across the globe, and the online casino sector is no exception. What was once known as ‘magic internet money’ is set to shake the casino industry to its very core.
While land-based casino venues are struggling to make sense of all that, many online casinos have realized their true potential of cryptocurrencies and the technology behind them. Read on to know how cryptocurrencies are changing the online gambling landscape .
Improved security and anonymity
One of the biggest advantages of blockchain technology is better security and trust. Many people are skeptical about depositing money at an online casino because they think that their personal and financial data might get stolen. Considering all the inflated news reports on cyber attacks, it’s no wonder.
Digital currencies are encrypted. They cannot be copied and the blockchain system can’t be hacked as all the transactions have to be verified by the participants. The technology is built to prevent hacks and attacks.
Perhaps the best part of cryptocurrency gambling is that players are not required to share their personal information while registering. The details of your crypto-wallet remain confidential and known only to the owner of the wallet. Check this site to play the rolet online one of the most popular games to get lots of profit !
And the blockchain network is a public ledger. All the transactions are recorded on the network and the details of all these transactions are available to everyone, while at the same time all the parties get to keep their anonymity.
There are some limitations when it comes to playing in an online casino. Limits placed on stakes and restricted access to users from particular regions are some of them. Cryptocurrencies can help mitigate such restrictions thanks to the level of anonymity they provide.
Traditional banking methods, on the other hand, have your personal and financial details. Not to mention that everything is traceable. Cryptocurrencies bring more freedom and you can play your favourite casino games without providing any personal information.
More online casinos
More perks lead to more players joining in. And this eventually leads to the advent of more new online casinos that may offer more new perks. In order to thrive in the market, there’s always a need for platforms to bring something new to the table. To gain player loyalty, platforms are encouraged to create their own new games designed around the cryptocurrencies they use.
With the registration and the overall playing process made easy, players get to try out many more new games. Also, they’re able to transfer funds directly from one gambling site to another, provided that they both make use of the same cryptocurrency.
Lower fees and operating costs
As there is no middleman involved in cryptocurrency transactions, there are lower fees and operating costs. The casino platform is able to offer high payouts, and the player is able to retain all of their winnings. It’s a win-win situation.
Moreover, there are even platforms who offer extra bonuses to players who make deposits using cryptocurrency. When it comes to transferring funds, blockchain enables us to forego all the mundane tasks performed by humans. Processes are automated to some extent, and this ensures the highest possible accuracy.
In an interview on The Bella Twins podcast, former Raw and Smackdown Women’s champion Becky Lynch discussed her pregnancy and how the first trimester went.
Lynch said she lost a bit of weight as she had no appetite and didn’t eat as well as because she was feeling sick all the time being nauseous. She explained how while she was still be able to work out, she just couldn’t push herself physically anymore.
“And I don’t know if that’s like a mental thing where I’m like ‘Ahh! I don’t wanna!’ You don’t know what’s going on…so you’re worried about everything,” Lynch said. “I don’t know, I’ve never felt this before. So I don’t know what to do and what not to do, so I think was a little overly cautious about everything.”
The Man, who come December will become The Mom, has however found a good thing about staying home all the time: sleep. Lynch said that ever since she got off the road, she now has a regular sleeping schedule which is nice!
Lynch has hinted that she doesn’t know what the future holds for her when it comes to pro wrestling in a previous interview although she mentioned how Asuka, Lacey Evans, and Mickie James – who are all parents – still are able to juggle motherhood and work.
Becky surrendered her Raw Women’s title to Asuka the day after Money In The Bank in May and then announced that she was pregnant with her first child.
Bryan Alvarez from the Wrestling Observer is reporting that Darby Allin suffered a concussion during Dynamite after his confrontation with Brian Cage and Ricky Starks. The segment was filmed last week as Dynamite was not live.
Allin was attacked by Starks and Cage and was on the receiving end of two powerbombs – one on the stage and one in the ring. AEW World champion Jon Moxley evened up the odds thanks to a barbed wire baseball bat and saved Allin from a longer beating.
Moxley is now set to team up with Allin against Cage and Starks on next week’s Dynamite in a Texas Tornado match. The match will be postponed if Allin is not cleared to compete if he’s still suffering from concussion symptoms.

Michael Elgin, who was accused of inappropriate behavior during the #SpeakingOut movement, has published two eye witness accounts that corroborate his side of the story.
Elgin said that he was going to wait and was hoping that the proper channels would have already cleared the air, but he has a son and young family members who look up to him so he has to make things public. “They have been set to my employer and attorney,” Elgin said of the eye witness accounts.
The accusations date back to November 2011 when Elgin was wrestling for Ring of Honor. Elgin, along with a woman by the name of Layne, went to a bar with fellow wrestlers after television tapings in Louisville. He said that the two then went to the same hotel room where they shared the same bed, and asked her if she was interested in having sex.
“She said no you’re drunk. I then turned over and went to bed,” Elgin wrote. Elgin remarked how the next day he was being made fun of because Layne apparently told his friends that she turned him down.
Unnamed eye witnesses who were present that weekend gave Elgin e-mails confirming that nothing happened that would indicate assault and vouched for him.
Elgin also presented screenshots of DMs between him and Kaitlin Diemond, who accused him of sending a dick pic back in 2016. “To be fair with you, you literally did apologize immediately after doing it but like what was I to say ‘oh yes this is totally fine?’ Sometimes an apology isn’t enough,” Diemond wrote.
Impact Wrestling suspended Elgin last month and said that he would not appear on their television programs anymore.
WWE has officially confirmed that SummerSlam will not be taking place in Boston anymore although it did not say that it will take place from the Performance Center either.
Refunds for those who already had purchased a ticket for SummerSlam are now available at the original point of purchase. “We are grateful to the city of Boston for their longstanding partnership and look forward to holding WWE events at TD Garden in the future,” a statement from WWE said.
The statement said that “information regarding a new location for the event is forthcoming” so the show might be held somewhere else with maybe a hint of fans. There were rumors that Vince McMahon was shooting for SummerSlam to have fans back in an arena although with coronavirus cases containing to spike everyday, the plan might change.
2020 sure did take us in an unexpected rollercoaster ride of events. And probably this year’s highlight, the COVID-19 pandemic, forced us to stay home and banished the way of life we all knew. No more malls to stroll out to, no dining out to your favorite Japanese restaurant, and definitely no gyms to keep your body buffed!
Athletes are in a complicated position as gyms are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, yet the show must go on. So, how do you think our favorite WWE wrestlers are doing? Let’s see how they keep their sanity in isolation! And there’s no better way to stay sane than to keep their bodies fit and active!
Workout Like a Champ
The two all-time favorite wrestlers, WWE champion Drew McIntyre and SmackDown Superstar Sheamus treat us with a short peek on how they workout at the luxury of being at home.
The Scottish Superstar quickly constructed his own gym-at-home in March the moment once gyms shut down amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Mclntyre uses this makeshift gym for working out his legs, including DDP Yoga, squats, step-ups and hamstring curls, to prepare for his WrestleMania 36 match against Brock Lesnar. This was, without a doubt, a smart move for McIntyre, as he went on to beat The Beast Incarnate, becoming the WWE champion for the first time in his career. He definitely thrived at his craft, beating Lesnar, and having numerous entertaining matches on Raw and put on a great performance against Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank. Meanwhile, Sheamus dominated the show in several squash match wins and his recent feud with Jeff Hardy. And they did all of this while being stuck during the pandemic!
Nikki Bella is surely impressive to watch in the ring, and this is thanks to her routine. The Total Divas and Total Bellas star says she uses free weights to tone her arms and squats for her legs, which is great for her joints. She also loves doing the elliptical that gets her a great amount of sweat on and burn calories.
Eat Like a Beast
Of course, keeping those muscles pumped up is not all about working out. What you eat makes a significant difference! And here’s what Seth Rollins love to devour after an intense workout. The six-time WWE/Raw Tag Team Champion admits that he’s a major fan of eating real food, eating a lot of it! For Rollins, eating is not a chore so he does not limit his meals calorically, he just goes with the flow.
On the other hand, Charlotte Flair is the exact opposite of Rollins. She’s the type of person who has to preplan every meal. She just loves food and there’s nothing worse than being hungry. The NXT Women’s champion could literally eat four Quest bars at one time, so she tries to stay away from protein bars because she loves them. She’ll have all of her meals prepped in a lunch box for a day. Of course, this includes tuna packets, oatmeal, nuts, peanut butter, and rice cake. To add a little color, Charlotte mixes some apples, avocados, spinach, turkey, and sliced chicken to the meal.
Keeping Up With the News
Truly, it is easy to be overwhelmed and stressed out by all the information bombarded in every media outlet about the coronavirus. But the last thing you want to be during this crisis is to be misinformed. And John Cena takes a stand for the truth. The 16-time world champion joined the Last Week Tonight host John Oliver in exposing the prevalence and spread of coronavirus conspiracy theories.
John Cena, along with other widely-trusted public figures, pleaded the viewers to try and combat the spread of these dangerous rumors by being compassionate and encouraging people to ask questions for themselves, instead of confronting people and shaming them for their beliefs.
Of course, we are all entitled to our opinions. But it’s important that we stand for what is true. And the internet is an infinite library of both truth and lies! So it’s just as crucial as ever to get your facts straight. One way to make the internet safe is by reporting scams, or just like the opposite side of the world calls it, 먹튀 신고. By exposing all the scam and malicious sites, you can keep away from online danger.
So how do our favorite wrestlers stay sane in lockdown? They work out like a champ, eat like a beast, and keep up with the most reliable and credible news.
