Heres your news for August 6th 2019.
We’re kicking off with news from Monday Night RAW today
and the saga of who attacked Roman Reigns continues to escalate.
After being crushed under some scaffolding on last week’s SmackDown Live
Reigns was ready for answers on this week’s RAW,
but instead found himself the victim of another attack.
After the Big Dog was confronted by Samoa Joe in the parking lot,
Reigns quickly dived into his own vehicle, to avoid being the victim of a
mysterious driver who drove straight at the former Universal Champion.
Joe, who was once considered to be the prime suspect behind
last week’s attack on SmackDown, has seemingly had his name cleared,
and has recently teased a baby face run, something that hasn’t been seen
by the former NXT Champion since he joined the main roster.
More eagle-eyed fans may have spotted WWE dropping a major hint
on this week’s RAW, as in one of the camera angles after the attack,
a black hoodie wearing Erick Rowan can be seen walking away
as people tried to help the Big Dog.
Rowan’s presence would likely mean that Daniel Bryan isn’t too far behind
as according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter last week
the eco Warrior is supposed to be the one behind these attacks.
With tonight’s edition of Smack Down Live being the final main
show before Summerslam, expect the mysterious attacker’s identity
to be revealed, and for a match between the two to be made
for the biggest party of the summer: Summerslam.
Speaking of Summerslam, this year’s edition of the August staple
got even bigger on this week’s show, as former WWE Universal Champion
Goldberg made his return to WWE.
In a Miz TV segment which featured the A-Lister, Shawn Michaels and Dolph Ziggler
the segment was supposed to be a contract signing
for the Miz-Ziggler match at Summerslam, but instead
these two will face off on next week’s RAW.
Revealing this, Miz said how Ziggler would be at Summerslam,
but he will instead be facing Gold berg, who made his way to the ring.
Not wanting to tackle with the former Universal Champion before Sunday
the ShowOff escaped to the ramp, but was laid out with
Sweet Chin Music to close out the show.
Though this was a huge moment, many fans are concerned after Goldberg
sent out an Instagram post of his very bloody leg, which seemed to be on
some sort of examination table being tended to.
The severity of the injury looked pretty bad, and though fans have wondered
whether this is an old picture, it seems strange
for the WCW legend to tweet an old photo before his big return.
Hopefully the master of the Jack hammer will be able to appear
at this Sunday’s Pay Per View, though of course, his safety comes first.
One Superstar who probably doesn’t want to see Goldberg
back this Sunday is Matt Riddle, as the NXT Superstar has once again
shared his feelings about the Hall of Famer.
Riddle, who has for years being a vocal critic of Goldberg, recently uploaded
a small blurb about legends taking shots at him for this,
including Booker T, Chris Jericho and Lance Storm.
In a recent video, the King of Bros took things one step further
claiming that he could beat up Jericho, and once again bashed Goldberg’s matches.
Riddle’s insults didn’t stop there, as he also said that Booker didn’t know
what he was talking about and called Lance Storm boring.
Taking to Twitter, Chris Jericho clearly didn’t take the comments lightly,
as the AEW star dressed as Riddle in a video
and challenged the former MMA star to a match.
Though we’ll probably never seen Jericho and Riddle collide in the ring,
this feud online is almost as good, though Jericho will have to focus
later this month when he takes on Adam Hangman Page at All OUT,
in a match to crown the very first AEW Heavyweight Champion.
From a legend of WWE to an up and comer now, as SmackDown Live Superstar
Zelina Vega took to Twitter this week to make some simple requests of the fans.
On social media, Vega pleaded for fans of hers to stop bring her actual family
into things, as it seems some members of the WWE Universe
have crossed a line and invaded her privacy. She said:
““Your luv and support has always been incredibly appreciated,
whether you’re a day 1 or a newbie, I am truly grateful..
but when the support crosses the line into obsession it will not be tolerated
and the appropriate parties will be notified for safety reasons.
So please, enjoy the product and what I do on TV,
make your signs and come say hi at my signings but please,
have respect for me and my family.”
Hopefully this will bring an end to any fans who think It’s acceptable
to invade her, or any Superstar’s privacy, as though they may appear
in front of millions of fans world wide each week, the men and women of
WWE are still entitled to some alone time.
Over to SmackDown Live now and with this week’s show being the go-home event
for Summerslam, the blue brand is certainly giving fans a reason to tune in.
On this week’s episode, there will be a special edition of the Kevin Owens show
as the Prize fighter will share the ring with Shane McMahon just days before
the pair face off in Toronto, with Owens’ career on the line.
In addition to that, WWE Champion Kofi Kingston has said he will respond
to comments made about him by Randy Orton, as the company’s Apex Predator
has been living up to his moniker since challenging the New Day star.
Some fans will know that Orton was responsible for Kingston
being de-pushed in late 2009, and it would be many many years
before the Ghanaian Superstar would return to the main event scene.
With so much already announced for tonight’s show and plenty more surprises
along the way, WWE will hopefully give a huge show before this
Sunday’s Summerslam Pay Per View.
We’re turning to the world of Politics now, and though Glenn Jacobs
may be doing big things as the Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee,
it seems the fire still burns within the former WWE and World Heavyweight Champion.
Recently, the company has advertised that Kane, Jacobs’ demonic alter ego
will be competing at the August 23rd and August 24th Live events in Louisiana.
Fans in Bossier City will be able to see the Big Red Machine
in action on the 23rd, whilst those in Lafayette can head to the Cajundome
on the 24th to see Kane take on the Monster Among Men Braun Strowman.
This will mark Kane’s first appearance in the ring since last November’s Crown Jewel
where he and The Undertaker came up short against Shawn Michaels and Triple H.
Though he has been kept busy as the Knox County Mayor, Kane hasn’t completely
shut the door on returning to the ring, as it seems the monster
who once set Jim Ross on fire still exists beneath his business suit.
Back to RAW now and though she made history last week by becoming
the first pregnant champion in WWE history, the 24/7 title reign
of Maria Kanellis has come to an end
After winning the title from her own husband Mike last week,
Maria went to the OBGYN on Monday, and even allowed a camera crew
to follow her and her husband into the doctor’s examination room
When Mike went to hug his wife, it seemed to be a touching moment
for the couple who have been at odds over the past few weeks,
but instead it was a pinfall attempt, as the OBGYN doctor was
actually WWE referee Jessica Carr in disguise.
3 seconds later, Mike was the new champion,
though his second reign with the gold didn’t last long.
Escaping his furious wife in the waiting room, Mike was quickly accosted by R-Truth
who after giving the line “O B G Why Not?” quickly pinned Kanellis
to become an eleven time 24/7 Champion.
With the gold back around Truth’s waist, expect Drake Maverick’s attempts
to regain the gold to continue, and with the Kanellis’ now being former champions
expect them to be on the hunt as well.
And finally today we’re ending with some big news from the OC,
as Luke Gallows gave a throwback on this week’s RAW to his time in New Japan.
After his release from WWE in 2010, Gallows would join the Japanese promotion
in 2013, and became one of the companies most recognisable stars
thanks in part to the war paint he would wear during matches.
When Gallows returned to WWE in 2016, this time alongside Karl Anderson
the paint was gone though he did get to ear it this week when he appeared
alongside Anderson and WWE United States Champion AJ Styles.
On commentary, Michael Cole pointed out the paint and explained that
it gave Gallows an edge in the ring, meaning that the paint may be here to stay.
As one half of the RAW Tag Team Champions, Gallows has certainly proven
himself to be a success even without his war paint,
and adding it is a nice new layer to the character
Many fans who followed Gallows in New Japan will be pleased to see
it brought back, and this could also be a sign that the OC, who currently hold three titles
are set to become an even bigger deal on Monday Night RAW.
