what's up guys welcome back to the roundup keeping you up to date another
latest news in pro wrestling it has been a hell of a week and a hell of a weekend
when it comes to content but we got a lot to catch up with lots of news and
Confirmations coming out of Smackdown live this week
WWE basically admitting the fact that they screwed up big-time at the last
pay-per-view Seth Rollins addressing the controversy that was his match against
the fiend Bray Wyatt and actually upsetting us more with his answer
interesting changes coming to two of WWE brands big debut and return already
confirmed for this upcoming Monday Night Raw
we're also talking ladies backstage news WWE upsetting fans by leaving out one of
the top stars from the upcoming event and much more but before we get into
whether you were enormous your 12 will drop it and if you haven't yet hit down
notifications to be updated on all of the upcoming coverage anyways let's get
into it and let's round it up and let's start off with Smackdown live because
this week there was a big drop when it comes to the rating and I'm sure the WWE
is not too happy about it specifically Fox because when you look at it this
week's show was stacked up with some very good segments that were announced
ahead of time according to show bus daily this last Friday Night Smackdown
drew 2.4 million viewers which is shy of half a million drop from the previous
week and 1.5 million from the premiere week which was two weeks ago and the
show drew a 2.9 million viewers so the ratings are just dropping significantly
to the point where it's gonna go back to what it was slowly before Smackdown even
moved to the Fox Network which at that point is probably gonna be a big problem
for the WWE because they might not be meeting expectations with executives and
the craziest thing is don't even expect it to get any better because next week
Smackdown will air on fs1 due to the World Series which is gonna be getting
massive ratings and without a doubt there's a lot of fans that watch
wrestling that also watch baseball and are more than likely going to watch the
world meaning that we're gonna be getting
another significant drop on the ratings regardless though the drop for next week
is expected but for this week it's just not good news for the WWE and it could
be a factor that may be the drop wasn't even that interesting so people didn't
tune in this following week just as expected and although this is clearly
something that WWE need to keep in mind the fact that their momentum going into
every single week show needs to be off the chart
next week they're already booking legends like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair to
advertise their upcoming match and even Brock lesner came belasco are supposed
to be there but why didn't you advertise that for this week instead because you
know next week ratings are gonna be screwed up anyways so it hardly makes
any sense sticking with Smackdown live let's go
ahead and recap some of the highlights before getting into more of the latest
news Chad gave what was supposed to now be showed he gave up what he M that are
shorting all of that to shorty G WWE is really committed when it comes to
changing his name for sure and why that is I have no idea but the good thing is
that Chad gave was quote-unquote embracing it so that's a big plus
Nikki cross defeated Mandy Rose Sonya Deville lacy Evans carmella and Dana
Brooke and she is now the number one contender for the SmackDown Women's
Championship Roman reigns and Daniel Bryan teamed up on the main event to
take on and efficient scan a Kimura and King Corvin coming out of this match we
also ended up learning all of the participants for Team Hogan at the crown
jewel pay-per-view we had Roman reigns himself as the team captain replacing
Seth Rollins Timmy where rusev ricochet shorty G and Mustafa Ali and then 14
Flair we got Randy Owen King Corbin Bobby Lashley shin scan a Kimura and one
more member to be announced unfortunately the rest that happened on
Smackdown you can probably blink and miss it and it wouldn't even matter
it really felt like a bee show and like if the WWE was missing half of the
roster that was supposed to be there to build up some type of entertainment we
didn't learn something else from Smackdown life and that is WWE adding
another stipulation to the self Rollins versus defeating the brave
why it matched a crown jewel of course we are the negative reaction that they
have gotten they trying to ease up on people complaining and this definitely
indicate that they know they messed up real bad at the Hell in a Cell
pay-per-view there is without a doubt any doubt that they know that they did I
don't know if that makes sense but you guys know what I mean hopefully anyways
they screwed up and they know it which is why we're getting the stipulation
added to this Universal Championship match that it cannot be stopped for any
reason and this is already a Falls Count Anywhere match
it's obviously ridiculous that they even need to emphasize that the match needs
to have a winner especially when it's already stipulation
like a Falls Count Anywhere but that's how you know they trying to make sure
that the fans understand they're not gonna make the same mistake that they
did I have when a cell by just having the referee stop the match now if the
match cannot be stopped for any reason I wonder if they're not gonna stop the
match when there's a winner to it oh my god we might get the first ever five
forever match I really wish that it was for another match though like I'm
drowning versus Rey Mysterio who were giving us five star matches week after
week on Monday Night Raw and yes still they didn't get any paper you match you
are very special WWE no jokes aside though of course the match is gonna end
and I'm very curious to see how they're gonna do this because either the fiend
Bray Wyatt is gonna get pin or Seth Rollins is losing the title there is
really no other way for them to end this right but who knows WWE my god another
screwy finish on the line that we just don't know about it's also worth
mentioning that if the fiend ends up winning the universal championship then
that means he gotta go back to Monday Night Raw
which could also mean WWE wasted another draft pick that was on the first round I
already smell the complaints if that were to happen but there's no way around
it because even itself Rollins win people are gonna be pissed that Bray
Wyatt got pain sticking with Seth Rollins he has something very
interesting to say early on this week that trust me
got everybody furious about that's when someone was complaining about the match
being stopped and they didn't keep it going on like the Undertaker versus
mankind match Saffron estate the following I imagine make an
undertaker my have like the wrath to stop the match there my half adding a
few more years to make slowly incredible career just say doc and all I'm gonna
say is this cannot be saffron Sweeting this like there is almost no way that
he's actually saying this just to defend his match
how many Hell in a Cell matches have we gotten that have gotten way worse than
what he and Bray Wyatt went through with way more than one sledgehammer
definitely not the way to try to defend your argument but I guess he tried
sticking with fans being upset so WWE has basically decided to leave out two
of their top stars or I should say one of them and that is the Undertaker of
the Saudi Arabia event even though he attended all of the events seems like
WWE is instead focusing on giving these type of money to someone like Tyson Fury
and came by last when instead of having a legend like The Undertaker show up at
the event and fans specifically over there are not too happy about it there's
already hashtag trending that translate to hashtag we want Undertaker in Saudi
Arabia although this is kind of odd because he was already with Vince
McMahon overseas actually doing some type of WWE promotion related to the
company and just the whole event that they're going to be having so it should
be interesting to see if WWE change their decision from now having wrestle
at the event or at least not have a match set up for him and maybe change it
for it to be some type of surprise moving into some other news and some
interesting changes related to 205 live and nxc 205 live of course has been
struggling as of late just because WWE has so much main television content that
going into the network just to watch 205 live it's diminishing every single week
they often have trouble keeping fans in the building after Smackdown just to
tape the actual show now that both 205 nn-xt are under Triple H umbrella of
influence is why the cruiserweight championship now belongs to an XE and
very interestingly it was announced that 205 live will now feature more
superstars from NXT bran as long as they meet the weight requirements
it was announced that some quote-unquote NXT best competitors on the 205 pounds
will be showing up on the purple brand more often of course that includes NXT
cruiserweight champion Leo rush this is certainly a good move and probably only
gonna means that we are gonna be seeing whoever is competing for that NXT
cruiserweight championship show up on 205 live so that they could continue
building that feud on both for the brands in the end though this doesn't
come as a surprise because Triple H did indicate that they're gonna be rotating
superstars back and forth even including NXT UK but it is good to finally hear
that 205 live is getting some love at it in there on to some other quick update
it looks like Ali's man is solid sue thrilled about being in Team Hogan for
the upcoming crown jewel event which by the way he revealed that all of the
earnings that he get from that show he's gonna be donating it to charity
just like he done before so good guy Ali once again doing good things anyway when
he was announced to be part of Team Hogan he simply twitted out the
following a real American and Hulk Hogan I've been added to team Hogan on the
crown jewel event now this is a very subtle message but certainly translate
to his entire mission when it comes to his character to rig the world of the
stigma surrounding people of different backgrounds so add that to Hogan's
controversial pass you kind of see where Mustafa Ali is headed with this one
either way he is part of the team and I just hope that him taking this solo hit
out Hulk Hogan doesn't get him into some kind of backstage heat because that
would be ridiculous but at the same time it is WWE right and to end this round
off but let's go ahead and discuss what has been announced Monday nitro because
it is a stacked up show including a return and I debuted team so Rey
Mysterio will appear live we're gonna be having a dragon versus Sin Cara who's
returning to action after a couple of months
the shree profits are going to be making their debut an in-ring competition on
Monday Night Raw and gonna be teaming with a mystery partner to take on the
OSI Luke Gallows Cara Anderson and WWE United States Champion
AJ Styles Ric Flair reveals at the final member of team player for crown jewel
and last but not least chef Rollins is going to explain his action of why he
set fire to the Firefly funhouse anyways guys that is what I got for you in this
