Jacks host Panthers (times two)

July 4, 2020 | News | No Comments

The South Dakota State University wrestling team will wrestle at home for the first time in nearly two months, hosting a pair of ranked opponents in weekend dual action.

The Jackrabbits begin the new calendar year with a Big 12 Conference dual match Friday night against 14th-ranked Northern Iowa. Action begins at 7 p.m. at Frost Arena.

SDSU enters the matchup 1-3 overall and 0-1 in the Big 12, while UNI is 1-2 overall and 0-1 in league duals. The Jackrabbits recorded their first dual victory under head coach Damion Hahn in their last match, rallying from a 14-0 deficit to upend Oregon State, 19-17, Dec. 16 in Corvallis, Oregon.

UNI is coming a runner-up finish at the Ken Kraft Midlands Championships Dec. 29-30 in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, a tournament in which the Jackrabbits also competed. Nationally ranked wrestlers Josh Alber (141 pounds) and Drew Foster (184 pounds) each won individual titles.

Sunday afternoon, the Jackrabbits will take on a different set of Panthers as 18th-ranked Pittsburgh invades Frost Arena. Start time is set for 2 p.m.

Pitt comes into the weekend undefeated in duals at 6-0, but has yet to wrestle an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent. The Panthers, who are scheduled to wrestle Saturday at North Dakota State, have already knocked off three Big 12 foes, owning dual victories over Northern Iowa (21-17 on Nov. 17), West Virginia (37-3 on Dec. 15) and Oklahoma (20-17 on Jan. 6).

Both of this weekend’s matches will be available for viewing online at FloWrestling.org (subscription required) – UNI | Pitt

SDSU last competed at home Nov. 17, when it fell to then-fourth-ranked Oklahoma State.

THE UNI SERIES: South Dakota State has found the going tough in its history against Northern Iowa, with the Panthers holding a 38-5-1 advantage in a dual series that dates back to the 1953-54 season. Both SDSU and Northern Iowa competed in the North Central Conference at the Division II level, with the series resuming during the 2004-05 season after a 20-year hiatus when the Jackrabbits joined UNI at the Division I level and both squads competed in the Western Wrestling Conference.

UNI competed in the Mid-America Conference for five seasons (2013-17) before gaining affiliate membership in the Big 12 Conference prior to the start of the 2017-18 campaign.

Last season, the Jackrabbits ended a 21-dual losing streak to UNI by claiming a 22-16 victory at Frost Arena on Jan. 21, 2018. Prior to that victory, the Jackrabbits’ last win in the series was a 21-19 triumph during the 1972-73 season.

In last season’s dual, SDSU jumped out to a 12-0 lead after consecutive pins by Connor Brown and Seth Gross. The Jackrabbits also received a major decision from 157-pounder Luke Zilverberg and decisions from Logan Peterson (165 pounds) and Nate Rotert (197 pounds) en route to the win.

197: #11 Nate Rotert (SDSU) dec. #15 Jacob Holschlag (UNI), 5-1
285: Carter Isley (UNI) dec. Alex Macki (SDSU), 3-1

THE PITT SERIES: Sunday’s dual will mark only the second time South Dakota State and Pittsburgh have met on the wrestling mat. The Jackrabbits opened the series with a 25-13 road win on Feb. 9, 2018, extending their dual winning streak to 12.

Pitt pulled to within 14-13 with two bouts to go, but the Jackrabbits turned the Panthers away thanks to a technical fall at 133 pounds by Seth Gross and a pin by Henry Pohlmeyer in the 141-pound matchup. Luke Zilverberg (157 pounds) and David Kocer (174 pounds) each posted major decisions for SDSU.

RABBITS RANKED: The South Dakota State University wrestling team entered the 2018-19 season ranked in a tie for 20th place in the preseason poll conducted by the National Wrestling Coaches Association, but dropped out of the top 25 after losses in its first two duals.

The Jackrabbits return three national qualifiers from a squad that posted a 14-2 dual record and turned in a 12th-place finish at the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. Defending national champion Penn State received all 16 first-place votes to hold the top spot. Ohio State is second, followed by Oklahoma State in third.

Five other Big 12 Conference programs are included in this week’s top 25, including Wyoming at No. 12 and Northern Iowa at 14th. The other three ranked teams appear consecutively in the form of Iowa State (21st), Utah Valley (22nd) and North Dakota State (23rd).

Other Jackrabbit dual opponents currently ranked in the top 25 include No. 8 Minnesota, No. 16 Arizona State and 18th-ranked Pittsburgh.

In additional polls, the Jackrabbits are tied for 19th in the tournament rankings by TrackWrestling, along with a 20th-place ranking from FloWrestling. SDSU also is ranked 21st by The Open Mat and 22nd by Intermat.

Individually, defending national champion Seth Gross holds a near-unanimous No. 1 selection in the 133-pound weight class, receiving top billing from all major ranking services – with the exception of WIN Magazine – despite wrestling only once so far this season due to injury. Gross posted a 29-1 overall record during the 2017-18 season in making his second consecutive appearance in a national-title bout. He defeated Michigan’s Stevan Micic, 13-8, in the 133-pound finale in Cleveland, Ohio, in March.

Junior 149-pounder Henry Pohlmeyer also appears in national rankings, checking in at No. 16 in the TrackWrestling rankings, followed by rankings of 17th (Intermat), 19th (The Open Mat) and 20th (WIN Magazine, FloWrestling). Pohlmeyer previously was in the 141-pound preseason rankings.

SDSU’s third returning national qualifier, Martin Mueller, was tabbed 16th in WIN Magazine’s preseason 184-pound rankings, but has moved up to the 197 weight class during his junior campaign.

A LOOK AHEAD: The Jackrabbits will be back on the road for Big 12 Conference dual action Jan. 20 at Fresno State. Start time for the Sunday matinee is set for 2 p.m. Pacific Time (4 p.m. Central) at Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.

Next home action for SDSU is Jan. 31 versus Utah Valley State.

AJ Styles vs. Ricochet US title match official for WWE SummerSlam

July 4, 2020 | News | No Comments

Ricochet is getting his rematch against AJ Styles at SummerSlam.

Ricochet won a number one contender’s gauntlet match on Raw tonight and will challenge for Styles’ United States Championship at SummerSlam. The pay-per-view is taking place at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on August 11.

The gauntlet match led to Ricochet and Andrade being the final two, and Ricochet hit a 630 to get the win. Rey Mysterio defeated Cesaro and Sami Zayn in the gauntlet match before being eliminated by Andrade.

After interference from Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Styles won the United States title from Ricochet at Extreme Rules earlier this month. Styles turned heel and reunited with Gallows and Anderson during the build to that match.

Here’s the updated card for SummerSlam:

Universal Champion Brock Lesnar defending against Seth Rollins
Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defending against Natalya
WWE Champion Kofi Kingston defending against Randy Orton
SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley defending against Ember Moon
United States Champion AJ Styles defending against Ricochet
Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon (Owens will “quit WWE” if he loses)
“The Fiend” Bray Wyatt vs. Finn Balor

Breaking: Battle Royal on Smackdown next week to determine new no. 1 contender to Bray Wyatt’s championship at WrestleMania (w/Keller’s Analysis)

July 4, 2020 | News | No Comments

PWTorch editor Wade Keller presents a special Thursday Flagship edition of the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast featuring a WrestleMania 36 Preview with ex-WWE Creative Team member and professional stand-up comedian Matt McCarthy.

(Search “wade keller” to subscribe in podcast app or CLICK HERE to subscribe in Apple Podcasts.)

Randy Orton declared at the end of Smackdown that as long as Bray Wyatt is his “master,” he will not challenge him for the WWE Championship. He kneeled and the show went off the air.

Daniel Bryan addressed that on “Talking Smack” by announcing next week on Smackdown, a battle royal will be held to determine a new challenge to Bray at WrestleMania.

Keller’s Analysis: The job of the G.M.’s on WWE TV these days seems to be to deliver nonsense decisions that helps the creative team bridge themselves from one plot point to another. This makes Bryan look bad. A battle royal is not a particularly sensible way to determine who deserves a title shot, the Royal Rumble notwithstanding. The idea of just throwing everyone in the ring and seeing who is left standing at the end seems to not only lack creativity and good sense, but also seems premature. Why not wait a while in case Bray loses his championship in one of his many title defenses between now and WrestleMania against established top contenders, such as A.J. Styles himself, who threw a fit over not getting a (deserved) one-on-one title shot on Talking Smack tonight. Anyway, all that complaining aside, I still do expect Orton to end up facing Bray at WrestleMania for the title by the time the event arrives. I have a hunch Luke Harper wins the battle royal and the match becomes a “more intriguing” triple threat match.

NEWS: Taz defends Mahal’s push, Cole future, Cena-Nikki proposal, Triple H responds to criticism, Animal on why LOD-Demolition feud so short

July 4, 2020 | News | No Comments

The following are the latest news items stemming from quotes highlighted at our sister website, www.PWPodcasts.com, which chronicles what wrestlers are saying on the record on a daily basis, including newsworthy quick quotes and longer detailed written recaps of wrestling-personality-hosted podcasts.

-Count Taz among the people that don’t believe Jinder Mahal’s push is too much at this point. “I don’t think so at all,” he said on his show. “A lot of fans will say the guy wasn’t pushed, they weren’t doing much with him and he was losing a bunch of matches. To me it’s all about, and if Vince McMahon where here he’d agree, if a guy’s in-ring work is strong enough, if he can sell tickets on the microphone and get the proper reaction, has some size, looks believable, it’s ‘Hey, let’s give this guy a shot.’ I don’t have a problem with it at all.” He also gave his thoughts on whether he thinks it’s a bad sign that Nakamura isn’t already in the main event and if Mahal will fare better than The Great Khali. Get the full details here: MORE: Taz talks whether Jinder Mahal’s push is too much too soon, if he’ll fare better than The Great Khali, Shinsuke Nakamura not in the main event

-Adam Cole is one of the hottest free agents on the market, but he still doesn’t seem to have decided where he’s headed. He doesn’t appear to be in a rush either, as he says he will “absolutely” take his time before coming to a decision. He also talked about a few factors that he needs to consider and more. Get the full details here: MORE: Adam Cole talks about his free agency, if he knows where he’s headed

-Many fans have wondered why the Demolition-Legion of Doom feud was so uneventful in the WWF. Road Warrior Animal gave his thoughts on why that may have been. “Well I think, and I can’t speak fo Vince, I think in their mind, ‘We got the real McCoy. Time to squish the imposter.’ He followed up on how well he, personally, thought a further storyline with Demolition would have gone, as well as his matches teaming up with The Ultimate Warrior. Get the full details here: MORE: Road Warrior Animal on why he thinks the Demolition feud was so short, teaming with The Ultimate Warrior

-The WWE Performance Center has received some criticism in that some people believe it produces talent without focusing on their individuality. Triple H responded to those claims. “The misconception is always the same, and it’s absolutely wrong,” he said. “We are looking to make our talent as diverse as possible. People say everyone is wearing the same thing and training the same way. Yet they are not training the same way. We are grouping people together to work on building certain skills.” He also talked about how often he goes to the Performance Center and touched on what makes a great coach. More details here: MORE:Triple H talks about the WWE Performance Center, how often he visits, whether its style lacks individuality

-Even though Nikki Bella saying “yes” to John Cena’s wedding proposal seemed like a sure thing to everyone, apparently, Cena himself was a bit more worried about it. He claimed asking her was the most nervous he’d been in his entire life and was thankful that it received a positive reaction from the crowd. He also talked briefly about when it’s time for a wrestler to retire. Get more details here: MORE: John Cena reveals if he was worried Nikki Bella would turn down his marriage proposal, if he sees himself retiring

Fenix scheduled to wrestle tonight after suffering leg injury

July 4, 2020 | News | No Comments

Update —

Big Time Wrestling on Facebook announced that Fenix would be wrestling on their show in Enfield, CT tonight.

Original story —

Yet another key match for AEW’s All Out PPV could potentially be in jeopardy as Fenix was injured in a match in Pawtucket, Rhode Island on Friday night.

Fenix & Pentagon Jr. were facing Juventud Guerrera & Teddy Hart for Big Time Wrestling when the injury happened.

Fenix superkicked Hart and then picked up Guerrera, and collapsed and grabbed his leg. He rolled out of the ring and waved for help from the back. Fenix was brought to the back. In the ring, in what was clearly an audible, Guerrera immediately pinned Pentagon, who rushed to the back to check on his brother.

Early reports that he was seriously injured and may have broken his leg were premature. He was walking on the leg, but it was weak. He was hopeful it was only a sprain and was saying that he thought he would be able to do his ladder match at All Out in Chicago.

We will update when he has it examined.

We are only eight days away from All Out, where Pentagon & Fenix are scheduled to defend their AAA Tag Team titles in a ladder match against The Young Bucks. Fenix is also scheduled for AAW in Chicago prior to AEW.

Interview Highlights: Steve Austin talks about Kurt Angle’s return, if it changes his mindset about a return, Neville, Heenan, more

July 4, 2020 | News | No Comments

Ring Rust Radio interviewed Steve Austin this week. The following are transcribed highlights provided to PWTorch by Ring Rust Radio…

FULL AUDIO: CLICK HERE

YOU TUBE CLIP: CLICK HERE

Ring Rust Radio: This is the fifth season of Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge, which last year averaged more than four million weekly viewers. What can fans who have never seen the program expect when tuning in?

Steve Austin: It’s just bad-ass competition. It’s very simple, very basic, very strenuous, very hard and in a tough environment. Basically, we film this on top of a mountain in the desert right outside Los Angeles. Everything we are using from boulders to barrels to logs, there’s no scientific nothing out there. It’s bracket-style competition. Eight athletes come out each week through three rounds of competition and you either win or you lose. If you win, you go on, and if you lose, you go home. At the end of the day, out of eight competitors, one will be left standing. That competitor will come back the next day and run my obstacle course and it’s called the Skull Buster. It’s a half mile course with ten obstacles standing in your way. If you can beat a bench-mark time, you get $10,000 and remain there until someone can dethrone you. It is a very simple formula to understand. If you have never seen it before, you can tune in and understand exactly what is going down. What is going down is extreme, hardcore, physical competition. There ain’t no reality, the only reality out there is you either are going to win or lose, it is a challenge show.

Ring Rust Radio: Steve Austin’s Broken Skull Challenge has built quite a fanbase since its debut. Did you expect the show to take off the way it has and how many more seasons do you think you have in you?

Steve Austin: Man, I love doing the show. I love being outdoors, I love competition and I love to be able to help motivate people to push their bodies and their minds to the absolute limit. I am never bored out there and I am having a great time. I’m not out there trash talking or cutting promos like I did in the wrestling business. I am out there trying to motivate some of the best athletes in the United States of America; there is a big difference there. So, it’s fun being around such driven people that are pushing themselves so hard. I was hoping, and in anything you do you want to have some confidence and want to believe in yourself, but at the end of the day it’s up to the people who watch and if the product is good enough. So far, it has been and I would love to keep doing this for as long as we can. As long as we can keep making this thing challenging for the athletes so that they want to come out and get their challenges met and see how tough they really are. If people are still interested in the show, I would love to keep doing it for a long time.

Ring Rust Radio: It obviously takes an incredible athlete to be able to conquer the Broken Skull Challenge. From your perspective as the host of the show and a WWE Hall of Famer, how do the top Broken Skull Challenge competitors compare to WWE Superstars in terms of their athleticism?

Steve Austin: In many ways, the athleticism, because this people are training specifically for these tasks and what I am asking them to do. Whether they are coming from the world of Cross Fit, Spartan Race, obstacle course racing, they are training specifically for these types of events. We will shake it up so they never know what we are throwing at them. The guys and gals in the squared circle these days, and I’ll speak of WWE because that’s where I spent the bulk of my career and that’s where I am from and who I am basically with, man those athletes there are off the charts from the generation that I came up. They are outstanding athletes in their own rights. They are extremely tough athletes in their own right. Living that road schedule, getting in that ring every single night, pushing their bodies to the limit in the ring, and then stepping into the gym to stay in tune with what they do. They aren’t training to come out and do what I do, but if you put the athletes from the Broken Skull into a squared circle and have a match, they wouldn’t be able to do it. The athleticism I would say is equal, but both parties are training for uniquely and specifically different endeavors.

Ring Rust Radio: For the Steve Austin Show on Podcast One, you have to watch the WWE product as much as you can. Who are some of the current Superstars that get Stone Cold excited when they show up on TV?

Steve Austin: You know what, I watch as much as I can. I DVR the show just to fast-forward through the commercials. It’s hard to watch because three hours of Raw every Monday and then two hours of SmackDown, but because I am still involved with the business, I try to watch as much as I can. Brock Lesnar is an absolute beast. I enjoy watching him and seeing what AJ Styles is up to next. Waiting to see if Finn Balor will continue to find his way. Waiting to see what they will end up doing with Shinsuke Nakamura and give him a green light push with that great background he brings from New Japan Pro-Wrestling. With the women’s division, their athleticism is just off the charts now. They have been main eventing Monday Night Raw, SmackDown and pay-per-views. I like the entire product and it has changed a lot since I have been gone. It’s sped up a lot since I have been gone. It’s a different world. So, when I watch with the old school mentality that I have, I have to try to lose myself in it and suspend disbelief and enjoy the ride.

Ring Rust Radio: There’s been a lot of rumors and speculation recently surrounding Neville about him walking out on WWE due to creative differences and/or unhappiness regarding his pay. Having been in a similar situation before yourself, what advice would you give Neville if he has, in fact, decided to leave WWE?

Steve Austin: Well, my situation when I walked out, I wasn’t on board with the direction creative wanted to go. I was working my ass off and I just was not happy with that decision. So, I could have made a better decision with how I handled it. Just walking away like I did was a bad idea. I don’t know specifically what Neville’s business deal is or what his contract is or the circumstances under which he left. I know that any time you walk away from something and you don’t have that meeting or that one-on-one time with Vince or Paul or whoever it may be, but that’s the most prudent decision to make. By the same token, I can respect the guy that has enough balls to walk away just because he had a gut feeling like I did. I just wish him all the best in the world. In my opinion, he is an outstanding talent, he was really coming around with his gimmick and character, and he was a guy that I really liked watching. I’m sure a lot of people in the WWE Universe fell the same way. Hopefully he gets past this and whether he goes back to WWE or goes somewhere else, I hope he continues to have a successful career and have fun. At the end of the day, pro-wrestling, to be able to get paid to do that, it’s a fun job but it is a business and you need to get paid accordingly. I want the kid to have a great career, make his money and go on to the next phase of his life when it’s time to do that.

Ring Rust Radio: Recently we lost one of the greatest wrestling personalities ever, Bobby The Brain Heenan. What was your relationship like with Heenan and what are your thoughts on the legendary commentator and manager?

Steve Austin: I barely knew Bobby because he was a generation and half before me. I was a huge fan because I was watching WWF back in the day. Watching his commentary with Gorilla Monsoon, his interactions with Vince or whoever it was, that guy was absolute gold on the microphone, a premier entertainer. If he had to put on the tights to wrestle or put on that weasel outfit, the guy knew how to entertain people. If he hadn’t gotten into the pro-wrestling business, he would have been a stand-up comedian or something, Bobby was going to be successful in whatever he did because that’s how talented he was. A lot of times, when you are on the road and sitting around at the show, one of our agents was Blackjack Lanza. Blackjack is in the Hall of Fame and he is a great story teller. He and Bobby used to travel together back in the day. A bunch of guys and myself would be gathered around Blackjack while he is telling Bobby Heenan stories. Whether they were at the bar doing this or that, the shenanigans they got involved in, so I felt like I knew Bobby a lot more than I did just because I heard so many stories from Blackjack. The guy was a premiere, Grade A, awesome performer. I loved it, I didn’t know him, but I loved it.

Ring Rust Radio: One of your peers, Kurt Angle, made his in-ring return to WWE on Sunday at TLC, wrestling in his first match for the company in 11 years. As someone who worked with Kurt on numerous occasions, where do you place him among the all-time greats, and what would you like to see WWE do with him now that he’s back in the fold as a wrestler?

Steve Austin: I don’t know what I want them to do with him because I don’t know Kurt’s physical capacity with what he can do in the squared circle from a performers stand point. As far as I would rank him as an all-time great, with what he can do in the ring and character standpoint, let’s talk about his in-ring work: off the charts. When this guy came in, I know he won the gold medal at the 1996 Olympics, he comes in to the company and I see this raw talent. He is having these fast-paced wrestling matches, and I was like, holy smokes, this guy is catching onto this like no one I have ever seen in my life. So as a performer, so far ahead of his time and probably the fastest guy in the history of the business to pick it up at the level he picked it up at and just lights out. It didn’t matter who he was getting in the ring with, anybody who got in the ring with him they got a chance to steal the show. His work ethic and desire to be the best was among the highest I have ever known in the history of that business. As a character and persona, some of the backstage stuff we were doing because he was injured and I had three broken bones in my lower back, that comedy stuff we did was mostly adlibbed. The guy was a once in a generation talent. I love him as a person and I love his work in the ring. He was an absolute, true warrior and a bad ass in that ring. Not everybody can keep up with him.

Ring Rust Radio: You have been adamant that you will not return to in-ring competition, but when you see contemporaries like Kurt Angle, Shane McMahon and others making an impact on the product today, do you ever get that itch to be in front of the WWE Universe again?

Steve Austin: No, man. I got a fire in my belly for the business because I love pro-wrestling. I have zero desire to ever try to get back in the ring. I have so many great memories and I look back on those times fondly. It’s the young guy’s time to shine and I am enjoying seeing what they are coming up with. I like seeing the old school guys like myself still in there and doing their thing. When people decide to step away from the ring like I did or the guys that decide to step back in, it’s on a case-by-case, person-by-person basis. Some guys just like to hang on for as long as they can. For a while there, I didn’t understand why guys would do that. When I really thought about it, it’s because they love being in that god-dang ring so much that they just can’t get away from it. I had that neck injury and I needed to get out of the business so I did. I can understand that mindset now. I am done, I am happy being done, I wish I could of stayed in the ring a little bit longer, I rode off into the sunset a little bit sooner rather than I would of like, but it is what it is. I have come to terms with that and I have moved down the road. I am still a fan of the business and watching the men and women do what they do in the business and on Raw and SmackDown and the pay-per-views on the network.

F4W NEWSLETTER: Bayley turns heel, WWE continues to focus on Horsewomen Joseph Currier looks at how WWE has addressed the women’s division post-WM problems. Plus, Bryan Rose’s notes on Japan, and Vinny’s TV reviews.

Bayley going through a long-anticipated character change was the latest step in WWE refocusing on the Four Horsewomen.

Bayley & Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross main evented last Monday’s episode of Raw. Sasha Banks ran in and caused a disqualification by attacking Lynch. Banks struck Lynch with a steel chair until Bayley took it away from her. But instead of playing peacemaker between her friends, Bayley smiled and pummeled Lynch with the chair herself.

After beginning her heel turn and reuniting with Banks, Bayley cut a promo explaining her actions the next night on SmackDown. The crowd alternated between cheering and booing her. Bayley told the fans that their reaction was confusing. Instead of going full bore with the heel turn, Bayley spoke about her friendship with Banks and called Banks the one person who has always had her back. Bayley disingenuously talked about being a hero and a role model. She said she was trying to show kids what it means to be loyal and noted that she couldn’t turn her back on Banks just because things got rough. Bayley said that SmackDown deserves a champion that gets the same kind of recognition as Lynch.

WON NEWSLETTER: Anthem buys AXS TV plus tons of news

Click Here: cheap nsw blues jersey

In a move that has great ramifications in pro wrestling, Anthem Sport and Entertainment has purchased a majority interest in AXS TV and HDNet Movies and will begin running the two channels.

The deal also includes purchasing the AXS TV library of concerts, pro wrestling and MMA content, which would include U.S. broadcast rights to old ROH, many years of New Japan, WOW, and some defunct MMA promotions as well as countless smaller MMA shows.

Mark Cuban, who founded the stations, and AEG, his partners, will continue to own a minority interest. Part of the purchase team included Anthem, headed by Leonard Asper, and entertainer Steve Harvey, who will enter into a strategic content development agreement.

The company will continue operating from studios in Los Angeles and Denver, as well as use Anthem studios in Toronto, Nashville and Europe. The office in Dallas was closed down.

While not stated in the sales press release, as noted over the months this day has been in play, that if it was to go through, that Impact would move from The Pursuit Channel, where it has been dying on the vine, and move to AXS.

The deal actually first started with an attempt by Anthem to get Impact on AXS when they got word in the latter stages of 2018 that they weren’t going to be renewed by Pop TV. AXS turned down the initial deal, since Impact did not have a good reputation in the wrestling world at the time and AXS had its own wrestling franchise with New Japan.

MONDAY NEWS UPDATE

Bryan and I will be back tonight to talk Raw and the rest of the latest news. Questions for tonight’s show can be sent to [email protected]

The NFL game opposite Raw is the Cleveland Browns vs. New York Jets. Nobody expects the game will do close to the numbers of last week, so in theory, between that and the usual PPV bump, the rating should be up from last week. If would not be good if the number stays even.

With only three weeks until the next PPV show, they have to speed things up the next two days when it comes to the match announcement and angles for Hell in a Cell on 10/6 in Sacramento, CA. As noted earlier today, last night after the show, the three key matches were HITC bouts with Seth Rollins vs. Bray Wyatt for the Universal title, Becky Lynch vs. Sasha Banks for the women’s title, plus Roman Reigns & Daniel Bryan vs. Luke Harper & Erick Rowan. All subject to Vince McMahon changing his mind over the next two days.

WWE has said that they expect to make an announcement very soon, perhaps tomorrow, regarding Starrcade, which is expected to be a WWE Network special. We were independently given an 11/30 date for the show, and WWE’s current schedule lists Atlanta for that day, but WWE only confirmed the imminent announcement of Starrcade.

Dustin Poirier was on Ariel Helwani’s show today and noted that Khabib Nurmagomedov had noted $100,000 from T-shirt sales, stemming from what he talked about after their fight, for Poirier’s charity, The Good Fight Foundation. Nurmagomedov, after beating Poirier, talked about what a good person he was and that he would be offering a T-shirt and donating the money raised. Then today Dana White confirmed he would personally donate $100,000 to the charity.
