How WWE Is Shaping This FEUD Revealed comments with CM Punk clearly preoccupied with Drew McIntyre Gunter needed a new Challenger for bad blood and seemingly learned who he'll be facing on this week's raw Gunter was his disrespectful self on the show coming off of one of the biggest wins of his career and he spoke of beating the very best version of Randy Orton considering how he had to deal with a shoulder injury it was also a difficult match for him and the question now is who's next for ding General that question was answered with the arrival of Sami Zayn who last beat Gunter at Wrestlemania 40 to end his record shattering reign as Intercontinental Champion in his promo Zay named those who have used the IC title as a stepping stone to WWE's top prize including Macho Man Randy Savage Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels Zayn intends to add his own name to the list and although Gunter appeared to praise the heart of Zayn he declined finded his challenge for the world championship and walked away Samy fired back knowing how rattled gter was as Zayn is the only man to pin the Austrian on the main roster and one of a few in WWE to beat him which includes ilot dragonov and Braun breaker gter declined Zayn's challenge though Sammy insinuated that gter is afraid of him in a strong segment that introduced another new Challenger in the form of Zayn between Zayn and punk the roster of future Challengers to G is looking exception Ally strong and gter could easily use either man to help his already growing star power while Gunter declined on Raw all signs are pointing to a title match at Bad Blood while Punk and McIntyre will have their own Showdown inside hel Ina cell are you interested in watching Zayn have another title match with Gunter do you think CM Punk being in the title picture is coming too early since his return let us know down below for some time now WWE REMOVED RAW STAR Odyssey Jones. What Really Happened? friction between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods have been brewing especially after Kingston brought in fellow raw Superstar Odyssey Jones into the fold last month saw a big push for Jones who's proven to be a valuable Ally to the new day in their Feud with the final Testament but as August becomes September his push may be done on Twitter fightful Shan Ross sap shared that Jones profile had been removed from wwe.com and he added that someone messaged him the day previously about Jones that person suggested that sap asked WWE about changes to to Jones status and the WWE Talent sap did speak to said they were surprised to see Jones pulled from the roster page Jones wasn't at last night's raw tapings either and despite the push he received just a few weeks ago his status with WWE remains uncertain Janes work on Raw led to speculation that he'd fill Big E spot in the new day and his situation is far different from the Wyatt 6 who are also missing from the page in the case of the faction their profiles are hidden but still exist while profile seems to have been deleted entirely while Jones played a pivotal role on Raw recently getting on TV had previously been a struggle as he wrestled no matches on TV despite being drafted raw in 2023 instead Jones was confined to House shows in dark matches and before August his most recent match had been a Road to WrestleMania live event loss to the seldom seen Omas on March 31st Jones had a bright future ahead of him just a few weeks ago but now things have changed and why do you think he's been removed from WWE's roster page entirely let us know WWE Longtime Employee Departs Amidst TKO Merger Changes below since the launch of TKO group Holdings in September 2023 WWE has made a series of changes to its corporate structure which has resulted in a series of layoffs those exits haven't stopped yet as according to the latest wrestling Observer daily update Michelle carluchi WWE's director of production travel has been let go from the company Carlucci's exit marks the end of a lengthy career with WWE as she had been with the promotion since since 1988 and held various roles including 14 years as director of the freelance crew that role saw her deal with travel and special projects and her most recent position was as director of production travel a role she'd been in since 2019 the report indicates that carluchi was let go on Friday and her exit from WWE is particularly notable considering her 36-year tenure as part of the company her exit is a reminder of the ongoing restructuring and changes taking place within WWE as it adapts to the new corporate landscape and we'll have to see who will next be given the pink slip Reason Behind WWE Holding Mandatory Meeting Ahead Of WWE RAW in a company as big as WWE it's important to have everybody on the same page and ahead of this week's Raw WWE tried to ensure just that with a mandatory meeting Mike Johnson of PW Insider reports that the main takeaway was that Talent were told to be mindful of cursing on TV but this was not a specific order but just a reminder WWE programming is still technically rated PG though some predict that'll change when raw moves to Netflix and Shan Ross sa similarly reported about the advice about cursing cursing on WWE programming became a point of contention On The Road to Wrestlemania 40 and The Rock in particular often cursed on WWE programming which led to Fan discussion some felt that the Rock's cursing brought a level of excitement to programming but it was reported at the time that Talent had issues about what they saw as a double standard as we said raw will move to Netflix in January which is prompted speculation about the company being more loose With cursing as well as potential other adjustments until then the Red Brand will remain on the USA Network where restrictions on profanity are in place and WWE Talent will have to be mindful over what not to say in front of a global audience Ria Ripley and Damen priest Rhea Ripley Kicks Off Monday's Show But Get INJURED After Being BLIND Sided By Liv Morgan kicked off raw in style as they celebrated their bash in Berlin win and Ripley took a moment to call out Liv Morgan instead it was the black ey sporting Dominic Mysterio who arrived and struggled to get a word in amid the crowd's booing but we certainly heard Ripley threatened to give him another Shiner Mysterio said that Liv Morgan was still recovering from their Berlin battle and wouldn't be appearing tonight but the you suck chance from fans made it nearly impossible for him to continue Dominic assured everyone that Morgan wasn't afraid and would eventually accept Ripley's Challenge and at that moment Liv appeared and rushed the ring trapped in the ropes Ripley endured several kicks from Morgan before priest made the save but Ripley ended up getting badly hurt as she fell with her leg tied up in the ropes backstage Ria was aggressive to medical personnel as her foot is far from fine and Liv Morgan celebrated her 100th day as Champion by accepting Ria's challenge if she can make it to the match with her injury fans will have to wait for updates about the injury but for the time being mommy has a serious Target for Liv Morgan and the Judgment Day to WWE Adds New Presentation Element To Television Programming On 9/2 RAW exploit now WWE is always trying new things for their production and this week it appears that WWE did what it could to help fans and attendance with hearing trouble during Ripley segment a screen could be spotted providing subtitles for the segment and covered what Ripley had to say about Liv Morgan and Dominic Mysterio the subtitle screen is an interesting touch that will help audiences understand wrestlers better especially if they have trouble hearing or if they've just missed something from a promo Joe Tator of ESPN made his Triple H Reacts After WWE Officially Replaces Michael Cole commentary debut on Raw alongside Wade Barrett replacing Michael Cole as the play-by-play announcer on Twitter before the show Triple H shared a backstage video of himself in tesor and said he couldn't wait to hear the ESPN broadcaster in action as the lead announcer of WWE's Flagship weekly show tesor has been thrown in at the deep end and we'll have to see if he sinks or swims in the weeks and months to come New Brock Lesnar Photo Surfaces Amidst Prolonged WWE Hiatus Brock Lesnar hasn't been seen on WWE TV since SummerSlam 2023 and earlier this year was pulled from all plans due to his connection into the Janelle Grant lawsuit this week Lesnar resurfaced online as a photo of him was shared and the Beast was once again dawned in his signature cowboy hat the setting and the drink in a Fan's hand implies that Lesnar was at a bar and while his WWE future remains uncertain Brock is having fun away from the ring in the Why WWE Made A Mistake With Bronson Reed’s Replacement For 9/2 WWE RAW . Bronson Reed Reacts Intercontinental title contenders tournament Bronson Reed took on lud VI Kaiser and Sheamus or at least that was WWE's original plan before things had to be changed before raw Reed shared that he wouldn't be at Raw After testing positive for covid-19 and in a followup said that Braun breaker should count himself lucky that he's not in the tournament with Reed unavailable it was Braun strowman who not only took his place but Advanced to next week's fatal four-way match with a victory over lud viid Kaiser and Sheamus the three competitors wasted no time in going to war from the start with strowman being temporarily removed from action after taking a hard bump through the barricade as Sheamus and Kaiser duked it out strowman hurled a desk chair at the German to reenter the match to a holy chant from the crowd overcoming an agonizing rib injury strowman continued to bring the fight and Pete Dunn would continue his Feud with Sheamus by blasting the Celtic Warrior with a shalele this would prove to be costly to Sheamus who once again is on the chase to win the one title that has eluded him in his WWE career and has grown increasingly desperate to hold the goal with Sheamus out of commission strowman used his size and power to flatten kaer with a running power slam to advance to the next round and next week's fatal four-way match strowman's victory was Review Of Braun Strowman Vs. Sheamus Vs. Ludwig Kaiser something of a surprise given that he was tsunami through the roof of a car a Week Ago by Bronson Reed in a spot that could have written Braun off of TV in fact it was a backwards move undermining the impact of Reed's vehicular tsunami last week and Braun was not at his best but got the win anyway this spot could have been given to someone else instead while maintaining Reed's Aura but if he recovers in time Reed could cost strowman in next week's fatal four-way match if anyone can deliver a strong performance in next week's fatal four-way against smaller opponents it's Braun who's hungry to regain the gold he last held in Reason Behind The Bloodline’s Absence From 8/30 WWE SmackDown Unveiled 2020 last Friday WWE held its first Smackdown in Berlin Germany and while top stars like Cody rhods Nia Jax and others appeared there was no physical appearance by the bloodline instead the group was reserved to a single video vignette in which solo seoa made he plans on winning the WWE title and we now know the sad reason they weren't in Berlin in the wrestling Observer it is explained that the funeral of AFA an Hawaii took place over the weekend and the bloodline attended the ceremony rather than appear in Berlin this is a fair reason for the bloodline to not appear live and fans can expect solo Sea's faction to dominate on the blue brand once again soon enough raaw American Maids Creed Review Of Otis, Akira Tozawa And Maxxine Dupri Vs. American Made brothers and Ivy Nile take on Alpha Academy and the action Spilled Out of the ring as both teams did what they had to do to win just as it looked like the alpha Academy would be emerging on top a distraction by Chad Gable allowed Ivy Nile to put Maxine Dupri in a sleeper and pick up the win for her team Wyatt Sicks Set For Violent 8-Man Tag On Next Week's WWE RAW. Uncle Howdy Teases The Return Of The Fiend On WWE RAW; Exploring Potential Replacement postmatch Gable called his new faction the greatest fighting family in all of WWE and spoke of last week's match with Uncle howdy that Chad had hoped would be a classic one-on-one match instead Howdy's quote freak Show family got got involved and with the backing of American maid Gable called out howdy for a match for next week's show the lights swiftly went out and howdy appeared on the stage stating that it had been 375 days since his sanity crumbled acknowledging the passing of his brother Bray Wyatt howdy spoke compassionately about his life changing completely thanks to this new chapter in WWE and in cryptic fashion accepted Gable's challenge howdy said if American maid want their own destruction he'll deliver it and the segment ended with the Wyatt 6 emerging behind howdy as the lights went off what are your thoughts on Uncle howdy accepting Chad Gable's challenge for next week's edition of Monday Night Raw sound off in the comments as we've all seen the Wyatt 6 is heavily inspired by Bray Wyatt but one piece of Wyatt's lore that we haven't seen so far is the fiend that could change soon enough though as in his promo howdy said his life was not his own but it now belonged to him which could be an illusion to the fiend Wyatt wasn't portraying the fiend when he passed away and the character was part of Wyatt's stable when he made his return at Extreme Rules 2022 if the fiend is returning the question is who would play the character and it could prove to be a third role for Bo Dallas on WWE programming ultimately we'll have to see if who him is is ever revealed and do you think bringing the feiend back in the form of bow is The Right Move sound off Review Of Dragon Lee Vs. Ilja Dragunov Vs. Dominik Mysterio below ilad dragonov won his triple threat against Dominic Mysterio and dragon Lee to advance in the Intercontinental title tournament despite carito interfering to a dirty Dom that interference prompted Damen priest to make the save and fend off both Judgment Day members and when one-on-one dragonov outlasted Le to secure the win dragonov previously missed out on a title shot courtesy of referee stoppage during a match with Braun breaker and his return in Victory here advances him closer to revenge and his first main roster title priest driving Mysterio away made sense given his thirst for revenge and more importantly saved dirty Dom from another defeat after his lost last weekend in Review Of Jey Uso And Damian Priest Vs. Finn Bálor And JD McDonagh. What Really Happened With Jey Uso Damion Priest And Rhea Ripley After WWE RAW Went Off Air? Germany Ria Ripley and Damen priest got the better of the Judgment Day on Raw After priest and Jay Uso bested Finn Balor and JD McDon in the show's Main Event Liv Morgan Crotched Uso on the top rope only for RIA Ripley to make her presence felt and despite a leg injury suffered earlier in the show She chased Morgan out of the arena with Morgan gone priest and Uso made quick work of the World Tag Team Champions and after getting the win stood tall with Ripley to end the show with the amount of talent in the ring this was always going to deliver and proved to be a fun energetic conclusion to the show that continued the fa's revenge on the heels the fact that Uso was able to slide in here and make it make sense given his past beef with the faction all wellbeing in the Intercontinental title picture is a testament to Triple H and his creative team skills ilot dragon and Braun strowman join Jay Uso and Pete Dunn in a number one contenders fatal four-way match for Braun breaker's title set for next Monday's raw do you think the winner of this match should Dethrone Brun breaker or should they fall to Brun as part of his journey to be an even more dominant force on Raw let us know below the fun didn't stop after raw went off the air as Jay Uso and the terror twins celebrated in the ring and Jay got both Ria and priest to join in with a yeet well we don't expect this Trio to be named the yment day on WWE TV this was a fun moment for the live crowd in What’s REALLY Going On With Finn Balor And JD McDonagh World Tag Team Championship Title REIGN? Denver Colorado we briefly mentioned that Balor and McDon are the World Tag Team Champions but you'd be forgiven for forgetting that they are the holders of the goal the pair won the titles from awesome truth back in June and are yet to defend the gold on TV and this week's raw was indicative of Balor in McD's Reign once again the Judgment Day looked weak and the World Tag Team Champions racked up another loss not a good look at all for raw's best duo what do you think can be done with the World Tag Team Champions is it time to put the gold on another team and if so who let us know Asuka Commits To New Long-Term Contract With WWE Below in May Asuka underwent knee surgery which has kept her out of the ring ever since and while she isn't wrestling right now fans can expect to see much more of her in the future PW Insider reports that Asuka has signed a new long-term deal with WWE and while the terms of this deal are unclear this is her latest deal with the company she joined in 201 5 Asuka has held gold on all three brands and is widely respected among the roster and expect plenty from the empress when she's healed thanks to this new Damage Ctrl Member Busted Open During Botch On WWE RAW deal since Wrestlemania 40 damage control has lost its way and with Asuka and deota Kai out injured it's been just Kyrie s and IO Sky who have been battling on Raw the faction has never been the same since letting biley go and just a couple of weeks ago sky was frustrated with damage controls inability to recapture Championship goal on Raw they faced off against the Unholy Union in a women's tag title contenders match just days after the Unholy Union lost the titles to Jade Cargill and Bianca belir at basan Berlin the new Champions were at ringside to watch the match unfold and it was a highly competitive affair with both teams doing what they could to reenter the title picture Kyrie s went for a dive off the top rope onto the outside but Isa Dawn pulled belir into the way but Zay crashed into belir and hit her head on the edge of the announce table Jade Cargill then attacked San albeit without the referee noticing as the Unholy Union picked up the win over damage control to earn a rematch with the storm and the EST Kyrie s was bleeding badly from the eye following The Botch dive on the outside but that didn't stop herself in Sky staring down Bair and Cargill insinuating their issues aren't over yet as for the titles the Unholy Union will now face Jade Cargill and Bianca belir for the women's Tag Team Championships and the dark Duo are looking to make this Reign a short one and we're ending Popular WWE Superstar Breaks Down In Tears Ahead Of Match On RAW with zelen Vega who took on Shaya Basler on Raw but before the match a Fan's heartfelt sign had the former Queen of the Ring feeling very emotional Vega held the fan sign which paid tribute to Selena's father who died in the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center a tragedy Vega has spoken openly and passionately about in the match Vega Review Of Zelina Vega Vs.
