Dakota Kai & Io Sky are new women's tag champs after beating Aliyah and Raquel in an okay match, Jonny Gargano beat Chad Gable in his first match back which was a really good match.

The main event between Edge and Dominik went to a DQ after the rest of Judgement Day predictably got involved, they attacked Edge's knee with a chair and Ballor was weirdly wearing a Bandana. There were brawls between Owens/Theory and Riddle/Rollins and next week is a US title match with Lashley defending against Rollins.
 
NXT will be going back to the Black and Gold regalia soon, and last night Solo Sikoa won the North American title, so the only member of the Bloodline not to have a title is Sami Zayn...
 
Rumored Crown Jewel main event is
Roman Reigns v.s Logan Paul

Reigns v Logan Paul, eh it could be better than it sounds.... but is it a title match?! If so, then Paul will be getting a title shot after just two matches!
 
Did anyone see the press conference? I heard it was good and it was well-received, maybe they could do more in future rather than the contract signings.

But this match does feel like it's there to give Roman something to do.
 
It has been announced that this year's Survivor Series will have two War Games matches rather than the traditional Survivor Series matches.

This is another good move from Triple H, the regular matches had become a bit tired and dated and I don't think many people cared about the Raw v Smackdown thing, War Games has been excellent since they brought it back for NXT, plus it will be one match for the men and the other for the women.
 
I can't think of a reason to keep the old Survivor Series anymore. If the brands were legit, sure, maybe a main roster vs NXT one would suffice, but the 90's thing of the entire roster being on either side? Let's just say that the Royal Rumble fits my head-canon of what the locker room is actually like than a Suvivor Series.
 
I watched the latest Wrestlelamia news video and it seems that Triple H is going for the War Games to help build and continue stories.
 
Little bit of old news but Triple H is currently in a dilemma with the Major titles, he wants 2 Champions but he doesn't want Roman Reigns to lose until after Wrestlemania (which I absolutely hate and this rule has ruined the Bloodline more than it helped but regardless)

I think the best solution while getting around the stupid rule is to actually have the Universal/WWE Title be legit unified and just make a new World Title, be perfect to have one to represent the birth of what is basically a new era.

As for Survivor Series, the last relevant Survivor Series Tag Team match was 2015 with Team Cena vs. Team Authority. Brand vs. Brand is a cool concept but with drafts every year and other cross brand matches it becomes pointless. So I'm glad with seeing something new
 
Riddle v Rollins II has been made for Extreme Rules, it's a Fight Pit match and if you don't know what that is then it's basically an MMA style cage with no ropes or ring-posts, they had a couple on NXT with Riddle too, they were OK from what I remember.

This years Extreme Rules already has more stipulation matches than last years.
 
Which was stupid as he only won it a week ago so why have him win it in the first place?!
 
Saraya (Paige) is All Elite Now!!


If TK gets April Méndez (AJ Lee) out of retirement... Oof, Triple H would have some work to do
 
Drew McIntyre v Karrion Kross has been made for Extreme Rules and it will be a strap match. Drew issued the challenge last night but then Kross predictably come out to attack him, Scarlett then hilariously aimed a fireball at Drew which missed.

Usos successfully defended the tag titles against Brawling Brutes in a good match in the main event, the Brutes were distracted by Imperium after Gunther-Sheamus II was announced for Smackdown in two weeks. in the opening segment with the Bloodline it did look like they would turn on Sami Zayn and kick him out but they gave him a new shirt and welcomed him to the family.

There was more 'White Rabbit' stuff, if you don't know what I mean then I shall explain, during the recent Raw whilst Austin Theory was warming up for his match you could see a QR code in the background. If you scanned it it would take you to a game of hangman with the question being 'who ended the world?' and with the answer being 'you did' and there was picture of a white cartoon rabbit. many, many people speculated that this was Bray Wyatt's return and WWE shop put out white rabbit merch this week too, last night Smackdown featured a few backstage bits with Hit-Row throwing a party, one of those little segments had another QR code flash up on the TV behind them, it was another game but I don't know what but the white rabbit featured again plus after there were co-ordinates for a location which is where Raw is going to be next week, the mystery continues....

From what I hear, she's not cleared to wrestle yet. Even so, it seems more and more like the Britt Division even after Athena and Toni Storm's arrivals, I don't put much faith in that side of the booking.
 
I was wondering where Saraya came from. And it wasn't until I saw that Paige is now All-Elite. So yet another ex-WWE wrestler joining the AEW ranks.

Man, that Braun Strowman vs. Otis match was nuts! That was 700 total pounds of humanity throwing blows.
 
Raw is looking stacked tonight, these matches are set for the show.

Matt Riddle v Damien Priest
Bianca Belair v Io Sky
Seth Rollins v Rey Mysterio
AJ Styles v Sami Zayn
Gargano/Owens v Alpha Academy

Those matches wouldn't be out of place on a Premium-Live-Event card.

Australia has been hit with the loss of the WWE Network it will now be moving to BINGE

I wouldn't have mind it if it moved to Kayo but BINGE hurts bad

Since I'm not familiar with Australian networks, what makes this a bad move? Substandard streaming quality? Overpriced? Poor content outside of WWE programming?

BINGE isn't exactly good for much, almost everything it has is shared on other streaming services and given how WWE Network has been handled with Peacock in the US I doubt BINGE is going to handle the WWE Network well either.

The Price of BINGE is the only good thing about this move, it'll be cheaper than the WWE Network being $10 AUD

If it went to Kayo instead, it be a much plus with Kayos wide variety of on demand sport along with all the Foxtel Sport Channels and Main Event, even with potential failings, there is at least other similar content.
 
Bianca Belair v Bayley for the title in a Ladder Match and a six-man tag Donnybrook match between Brawling Brutes and Imperium have both been made for Extreme Rules which is this coming Saturday.

It's the first singles women's ladder match ever on the main roster (there is the women's MITB ladder match of course but that's a multi-person match) There was a Donnybrook match a couple of months ago between Drew and Sheamus that was a lot of fun, this one will be even more chaotic with a six-man!

Smackdown was a little limited because of the Hurricane and the fact that a lot of the wrestlers live in Florida, perfect example of this was the main event which was a six-man tag between Drew, Owens and Gargano v Theory and Alpha Academy, only Drew out of those is actually on the Smackdown roster.

It's the season premiere of both Raw and Smackdown this week.
