Today we have got #wwe News including the stomping grounds 2019 card and a suprise #wwe #raw No.1 contender match
This is your news for June 17th 2019
We have some big news ahead of tonight’s edition of Monday Night #raw,
as more news has been revealed about Daniel Bryan’s appearance on the red brand
One half of the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, Bryan is appearing as part of the
Wild Card rule, and hopes to add more gold to his cabinet.
Tonight, Bryan will compete in a huge six man match to determine a new number
one contender for Samoa Joe’s United States title, and will face some pretty game competition.
The Eco Warrior will take on fellow former US Champions The Miz, Cesaro and Bobby Lashley,
as well as stars yet to hold the Star-Spangled strap such as Braun Strowman and Ricochet.
Whoever wins the huge match won’t have to wait long to take on Samoa Joe,
as the two will face off this Sunday at the first ever Stomping Ground event.
The show will take place at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma Washington,
and already has a stacked card, though with plenty of matches we’ve already seen.
Seth Rollins will defend his Universal title once more against Baron Corbin,
and with the Constable being allowed to pick the referee, and the possibility of Brock Lesnar
cashing in always present, could Sunday be the Beastslayer’s final night as Champion?
#wwe Champion Kofi Kingston will meet Dolph Ziggler again after the two faced off at super
Showdown, though this time Ziggler hopes to capture the title inside a steel cage.
In yet another rematch, Becky Lynch will take on Lacey Evans with The Man’s #raw
Women’s Title on the line, whilst Roman Reigns will face Drew McIntyre
once more after the Big Dog toppled the Sinister Scotsman at WrestleMania.
It’s thankfully not all rematches though, as Bayley will defend the SmackDown Women’s title against
Alexa Bliss, whilst Samoa Joe will take on a mystery opponent determined tonight on #raw
For 205 Live, Cruiserweight Champion Tony Nese will face someone,
though it’s not quite sure who, as the number one contender bout between
Drew Gulak and Akira Tozawa ended in a double pin.
If he’s not successful in his chase for the US title, Bryan could still have a match
with Rowan against Heavy Machinery, whilst it’s possible the Revival
will take on their long time foes the Usos, with the #raw tag titles on the line.
Whatever happens, expect a huge show when #wwe invade Tacoma for Stomping Grounds this Sunday.
Though there’ll be plenty to see this Sunday, one former Superstar who won’t be
there is Big Cass, as the seven footer was fired from the company last year.
Now under the name CaZXL, the former Superstar recently took on Jon Moxley at Six Flags
Slam Fest, and after coming up short against the AEW star, had plenty of excuses. He said:
“I did not sign up to face Jon Moxley. He is fresh off a 5-day schedule with #wwe and just came from AEW’s
Double of Nothing. He is on top of the world and of course he is gonna beat me.”
Cass who recently realigned with Enzo Amore, also spoke about a match
that made headlines recently, where the colossal star suffered a seizure in the ring.
“The last time people saw me I was fat, drunk, out of shape, and going to the hospital
with a seizure. I had mental heath issues… But in a year from now I will be the biggest name
in professional wrestling. Tonight was just the beginning.”
It’s clear that Cass’ confidence hasn’t been affected from his #wwe firing,
and though he may have lost to Moxley, taking on arguably the hottest star
in wrestling at the moment is in many ways, a huge win for the seven foot star.
Speaking of Jon Moxley, the former Dean Ambrose will be one of the participants
in the 29th G1 Climax, who were recently announced by New Japan.
Joining Moxley is some huge names including KENTA, Shingo Takagi,
IWGP Intercontinental Champion Tetsuya Naito and even the company’s World Champion Kazuchika Okada.
For the first time ever, part of the G1 will be hosted in the United States, as the first half of the event
will take place at the American Airlines Center on July 6th, in Dallas, Texas.
The second half will take place on August 12 at Budokan Hall in Tokyo, and with so many
huge stars competing, whoever wins the G1 tournament will certainly have earned it.
It may have been over five years since CM Punk walked out of #wwe,
but there are plenty of folks who still believe the Best in the World
will one day return to professional wrestling, including Mark Henry.
In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past half a decade,
Punk left following the 2014 Royal Rumble, and has had bad blood with #wwe since.
Being sent his termination papers on his wedding day, though Vince McMahon
claims this was a coincidence, the Chicago Made star lambasted the company
and physician Dr Chris Amann on an episode of Art of Wrestling, leading to a defamation lawsuit by Amann
that Punk and friend Colt Cabana won.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, the Worlds Strongest Man said how the landscape
of wrestling has changed, and that could lead to a huge return by the Second City Saviour.
“I know how much he loves wrestling… Sometimes on pro wrestling there are guys on the
bench that shouldn’t be on the bench. Punk didn’t like that and wanted the
best people out there. If they’re good then the fans will love them for being good.”
Henry is right to say that the wrestling landscape has changed,
though after five years away, it’s hard to imagine Punk ever coming back to wrestling,
and it’s extra doubtful that Punk would ever work with #wwe or Vince McMahon ever again.
Speaking of Vince McMahon, the Chairman is continuing to oversee development
of his main project outside of #wwe, the XFL.
According to Brad Shepherd, McMahon is looking to quote “dabble” in #wwe’s
money for the new football league, instead of his personal stock.
This is some potentially huge news as taking money from #wwe for the XFL
will no doubt affect the wrestling promotion, and could have a huge effect on investors.
During the launch announcement for the new XFL, McMahon even said he wanted to
keep the football and wrestling companies separate, though it looks like things may have changed.
During the initial XFL which ran for just one season in the early 2000s,
many fans complained that the product was too much like wrestling,
full of wild characters that football fans didn’t care about.
It’ll be interesting to see whether McMahon will learn from the sins
of the past when the XFL launches next year.
One superstar McMahon should keep an eye on though is NXT’s Matt Riddle,
who has made headlines recently for his verbal barbs against #wwe Hall of Famer Goldberg.
Following his loss to the Undertaker at Super Showdown, Riddle didn’t waste time
to insult the former Universal Champion, and spoke to Talk Radio
about his disdain for Goldberg, explaining it’s been a long time thing.
“I was never a fan of Goldberg in the beginning when everybody was like ‘oh, he’s so good!’
I was like ‘no, he’s terrible, he’s hurting people’ and there’s nothing else.
He just has three-minute matches.”
Though Riddle is entitled to his opinion, the former MMA fighter may want to think about
how insulting one of #wwe’s biggest stars, a former WCW, #wwe World Heavyweight
and Universal Champion, may affect his chances of a push down the line.
On the plus side, the King of Bros had plenty of positive things to say about Brock Lesnar,
and even defended Mr Money in the Bank against claims he is lazy.
“He works hard. You don’t look like Lesnar without working hard. You don’t pick up things,
get to the top of multiple industries and sports without working hard.
Do I like his work, per se, and his attitude right now? No. But, I think that’s why it’s good”.
It’ll certainly be interesting to see what happens with the NXT Superstar in the coming years
as Riddle has vowed to retire the Beast at WrestleMania 36,
and though the match seems unlikely, it’d definitely be one worth tuning in for.
And finally, today we have some big news from All Elite Wrestling, as the company’s
Executive Vice President Kenny Omega has laid out some big plans for the future.
Whilst playing a little Mega Man 2 with GS TV, Omega was asked about whether
AEW had considered a video game, and said that that was the ultimate goal.
“#wwe, they have their 2k license 2k franchise — and it’s great and a lot of people have
fun with it… What I’m trying to do is restore an old franchise.
I want people to have fun with wrestling games like they used to do
when I used to play wrestling games in high school.”
If AEW does intend to be an alternative to #wwe, then having a video game would be a
huge deal for the new company, and we assume there’d be plenty of fans
who’d pay good money for a game created by the new, massively popular promotion.
