In a shocker to nobody in particular, the Bayley/Banks Iron Man Match tonight was a bloody lovely affair. Last women's match in WWE I recall being that (for a lack of a better term) physical was from Trish/Lita back when they main evented Raw back in 2004.

Shocker of a debut at NXT last night. I'll spoiler tag as it won't air for 2 weeks.
Cowboy James Storm. Would love to see Roode show up and be a tag team. Them, Dudleys and Hardys, putting over the newer generation, not winning all the matches are what they need.

Watched Takeover:Respect last night and enjoyed it, was never going to be as good as Brooklyn but was still a really good show in its own right, agreed with Joe and Balor winning The Dusty Rhodes Classic and it was a nice touch to have the Rhodes brothers present them with the trophy, Bayley and Sasha Banks put in another great match and I loved when the roster and Triple H and Steph came out to congratulate them and give them flowers, good show all round 👍👍

Watched last nights edition of NXT as there was a No1 contenders Battle Royale for the NXT title, the winner might surprise you, I'm surprised they gave it to him so soon after his debut, the match itself was alright...

Raw was pretty good last all there with Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold all making an appearance (first time in four years on Raw for Stone Cold), none of them really had that much to say though but it was still cool to see them...
Main bit of news is that Randy Orton wasn't there as he is out with a dislocated shoulder, he also missed the mini tour of Mexico at the weekend, he has been carrying a minor shoulder injury for a little while now and we all know he has a history with shoulder problems, no word on when he will be back..
Another star absent was Luke Harper, he has some personal problems and its not known what they are, he wasn't there last night but was at the tour at the weekend, Erick Rowan returned to action last night to replace Harper, there was a tag match scheduled for the Kick-Off show at HIAC between Ambrose/Orton and Harper/Strowman, that match has now been shelved...

I liked the opening to raw. Austin, taker and lesnar. Better than Rollins dribbling on for 20 mins! The overall feel to the whole show was more like it was intended to be a spectacle. The matches weren't great.
The thing I enjoyed much more was lesnar and Austin in the podcast. Was really interesting listening to Lesnar.

Enjoyed the show, Liked the surprise return and I think the ending of the show will set up Survivor Series quite nicely, Taker and Lesnar had a great match, Vince was reportedly furious at the fact they were both busted open and that's why the doctor was there so many times to try and calm them down, its been confirmed that they didn't blade and were busted open the hard way, cant wait for Raw tonight now!

Raw last night was surprisingly good with three good matches I thought, the Fatal 4 way number one contenders match for the Divas title, the main event traditional 5 on 5 Survivor Series match between team Rollins and team Reigns, and perhaps most surprising of all a tag match between The Lucha Dragons and Barrett/Sheamus (the winner of that one was unexpected!)
Nikki Bella is out with a neck injury and didn't compete last night, Orton is out for 4/6 months with his shoulder injury, The Usos and Xavier Woods returned to action last night..

FOX Sports and ESPN's Jonathan Coachman is reporting that Seth Rollins injured his ACL, MCL and meniscus at a Wednesday event in Dublin, Ireland while on tour. As a result, he will vacate the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, causing a booking nightmare for Survivor Series. Rollins is expected to be out 6-9 months.

Some MASSIVE news from the WWE tonight!
They are currently in the UK and Ireland as part of their European tour and have an event in Dublin last night, Seth Rollins took part (obviously, as he is the Champ) and he suffered an injury in his match and had to be helped from the ring, it wasn't known how serious thus was....until today, and its a lot worse than feared....A lot worse!
He has torn his right ACL, MCL and medial meniscus and will be out for 6-9 MONTHS!, he has been stripped of the title and a tournament will take place at Survivor Series to crown a new Champion, this is huge with Wrestlemania not too far away and all the plans the WWE might have had for the title and its holder might have now gone up in smoke....
TREE'D, although mine got a little more detail

That's so depressing. I just read about this not long ago and I've been saying "that 🤬 sucks" ever since.

It's no secret that Reigns is VKM's chosen one and I think now is probably the time when they're going to put the title on him. I still don't think his mic work is ready. In terms of in ring he has come on a lot and can hold his own with different opponents. I think that if they're insisting on making him champion then the only way to get decent ratings is for WWE to turn him heel. Give him a mouth piece and have Ambrose chase him for the title winning at mania.

WWE now have some big names missing for one reason or another, Rollins and Orton are both out long term with injuries, Cena is doing some reality show for FOX but will be back next month and Lesnar is on one of his many hiatus's on a hunting trip in Canada, they could recall him but right now his next appearance wont be until Royal Rumble time next year, I also expect Roman Reigns to win the title next and I think Ambrose, Ziggler, Cesaro and Cena (when he gets back) to be involved in the picture too....
The creative team have been re-writing since the news came out on Tuesday the plans between now and Wrestlemaina.
I am gutted for Rollins, one of the most talented guys they have right now.
They have been contacting some 'big names' to plug the TV time gaps on Raw/Smackdown, really hope one of those names is Daniel Bryan....
As I mentioned, the WWE are on their European tour, this upcoming Raw will be from Manchester, England....

So Rollins is having reconstructive surgery on his right knee on Tuesday, He suffered the injury after attempting a sunset flip during his match against Kane, his knee dislocated and he had to pop it back in mid match an he then finished the match performing a Pedigree on Kane to win the match...
Still no word on what the plans are for Survivor Series but the are 'big surprises' planned for Raw tomorrow night.

So the tournament started on Raw last night, 16 competitors, 1st round started last night and will finish on Smackdown this week, quarter final matches take place on next weeks Raw and one would assume the semi finals and final will be at SS, opening round matches are Reigns v Big Show (more on that in a bit), Titus O'Neil v Owens, Ambrose v Breeze, Sheamus v Cesaro, Ziggler v Miz, Three more 1st round matches on Smackdown include Kalisto v Ryback and Del Rio takes part too but I cant remember who against..
Triple H called out Roman Reigns at the top of the show and offered him to be part of The Authority and get the title right there and then or go right back to the back of the line, he is in the tournament so you can probably guess what he chose...
Another thing happened was Man United and England Footballer Wayne Rooney slapped Wade Barrett during the Cesaro-Sheamus match, they have had a Twitter spat in the last few years, it made big news pretty much everywhere and its all over Twitter, Rooney was there with one of his sons and a few team-mates, he had pics taken with Triple H and Ric Flair backstage after the show.
Main event was Undertaker and Kane returning, wont say any more as I think I have spoilt it enough already!

So Raw was really good last night I though, fantastic gesture to have a minutes silence before the show to pay respect to the victims of the recent terrorist attacks in Paris 👍
in terms of in ring action, the quarter finals of the WWE WHC tournament took place, both Ziggler v Ambrose and Reigns v Cesaro were brilliant matches and Reign/Cesaro was the best match on Raw this year by far for me, Owens v Neville was a good opening match to the show and Del Rio v Kalisto was a bit meh, the main event segment was a contract signing for the Divas title at SS between Charlotte and Paige, they both went back and forth with verbals and then got into a little fight and had to get separated by refs a few times, they both brought up Charlotte's deceased brother Reid, it was really poorly done and Lana got into a Twitter spat with Paige after the show accusing Paige of bullying whilst she was in NXT, I don't know if any of that is true.
Undertaker and Kane v two members of the Wyatt's has been made official for SS...
