by

RAW this week had a lot of representation from the women and it was good to see. There were three women’s matches and a number of segments. Before we get into the Winners & Losers of the week, let’s unpack what has gone down. The show opened up with a video package of Becky Lynch’s … Read more

The RAW women’s division was sent in a whirlwind by the shocking announcement made by prior champion Becky Lynch last week.

Dana Brooke claps backs at Cornette about his remarks on her appearance

by

It should come as no surprise to anyone that Jim Cornette has yet made another negative remark to tear someone down. Cornette has worn many hats in his wrestling career and most recently he was commentary for NWA. This was of course before he “left” the promotion as he made a comment during a match … Read more

MJ Jenkins speaks on black representation in wrestling

by

Former NXT Superstar MJ Jenkins spoke to Ring the Belle’s DS Shin in an exclusive interview following her release from the company.

Shin discussed many topics with her including … Read more

Winners & Losers: IMPACT 05.12.20

by

IMPACT Wrestling has been providing exciting new talent to their Knockouts roster in the past several weeks. This has created a fresh take on the division that already shines through with their amazing talent. There were two matches that took place and both had a debut.

First, was Tasha Steelz making her debut facing Kylie Rae and then we witnessed Kimber Lee who showed up last week facing Havok. As reported earlier, Steelz had an impressive first outing, but she was no match for the red hot Rae. Rae has been on a winning streak since debuting for the company and she continued it when she applied her submission, the STF, on Steelz.

After the match, Rae had a unique confrontation with Susie who was confused with her last name. Once she realized that Kylie’s last name was Rae as in a ray of sunshine she seemed to comprehend. The interaction between these two should lead to something interesting, to say the least.

The next match was one that was built from last week’s debut of Kimber Lee on Madison Rayne’s Locker Room Talk. She confronted Havok by saying that the two know each other and that she is looking forward to climbing the Knockouts division in being the Crown Jewel. Havok is coming off of a loss from Rebellion against Rosemary and would like nothing more than a win against someone from her past.

Lee isn’t the only new Knockout that has familiarity with Havok. Nevaeh showed up at Rebellion to watch Havok’s match. These two know each other from other promotions as well and are currently the Guardians of RISE Champions for Rise Wrestling. Nevaeh showed up mid-match between these two as she stood off to the side of the ramp in the back watching intently. It is not fully known what her intentions are at this point.

Unlike Steelz who was unable to pick up a win from her debut, Lee was able to punch out a win with some brass knuckles. While the referee was chased off by an angry Havok, she turned around to Lee who was perched up on the top turnbuckle. We saw that she was equipped with the weapon unbeknownst to Havok herself.

This was enough for Lee to pick up the win. As she exited up the ramp she gave a little wave to Nevaeh who was still looking on without a reaction.

Also on tonight’s show we saw a video package for Kiera Hogan. You can view this below:

This video hypes up Hogan stating that for the past five years she has been in the passenger seat watching others guide her. She hasn’t just been watching however as she has been learning and seeing her mistakes. Now it is about her and to prove that she is the hottest flame.

Let’s get into the Winners & Losers of the week:

WINNER: Kimber Lee

Kimber pulls out a big win from her debut. It isn’t clear if Nevaeh is going to be working with Havok or Kimber at this point, but we do know the common thread and that is that she has been watching Havok closely. I am very interested to see how all of this will pan out. Winning dirty in her first match is a nice touch as well.

She was impressive through the match and being no stranger to gold since she is the current SHIMMER Champion, I can see her heading up the ladder quickly.

WINNER: Susie

I don’t know why, but I love the Susie character. To me, it is strangely more creepy as this then her Su Yung persona. The news earlier in the week that she has re-signed with the company is a huge win as well for not only her but the fans of the Knockouts division as well. I hope to see her feud with Kylie because I think it would be fun to see it play out, especially if she goes back and forth as Yung during the feud.

LOSER: Havok

Havok hasn’t been picking up many wins lately. Coming off of a loss from Rebellion and now this loss to a debuting Kimber isn’t helping her. If Nevaeh is going to be with her instead of against her this could drastically change her recent course for the better. It doesn’t seem like she has done well though since she is being watched.

Winners & Losers: RAW 05.11.20

by

A RAW many soon will never forget, came with huge news provided by ‘The Man’ Becky Lynch that has changed the landscape of the women’s roster on the red brand. The 400-day reign of Lynch is over as she announced that she had to pass on the title due to becoming a mother as she is with child. As a result, Asuka is the new RAW Women’s Champion because her winning the Money in the Bank briefcase on Sunday was actually her winning the title. For a full review of this, you can check the prior article by clicking here.

After this kicked off the show it was hard to concentrate on anything else, however, a much needed return was right around the corner. The IIconics returned and originally challenged the Women’s Tag Team Champions to a title match. The title ended up not being on the line against Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross, but the returning duo did pick up a win as Peyton Royce pinned Bliss. That full report can be found here.

The second match of the night involved Shayna Baszler and Natalya. Nattie wasn’t very amused by Baszler’s reaction to Lynch’s baby announcement. She couldn’t fathom why someone who was at the top of their career. Nattie challenged Baszler to a match as a result of her inconsiderate response. Baszler then informed Nattie that she will never be a mother and the Hart Dynasty will end with her.

The match between the two was much expected with a win going to Baszler. She attempted to stomp the arm of Nattie as she has been doing lately to her opponents. Nattie was able to counter and avoid the move that has taken many women out. After a knee strike, The Queen of Spades gets the pin.

It seems that Baszler will be going for Asuka next as she is still determined to become champion.

Let’s get to the Winners & Losers of the night as this is pretty obvious this week:

WINNER: Becky Lynch

She may have had to relinquish the title that she has held for 400-days without losing it in a match, but she still has had one hell of a past year (plus). It was quite an emotional moment and I am glad she was able to share it with Asuka. Out of all the women in that Money in the Bank match, Asuka was the one that has the most history with her and the reaction was pure.

I just hope that Becky comes back afterward. She has had a great career with a lot of accomplishments but she is still young with a lot more to go. We will miss you Beckasaurus.

WINNER: Asuka

She just became a Grand Slam Champion, how could she not be a winner? Asuka certainly deserves it. Not only has she put in the work leading up to this from her days in NXT to main roster but she has carried the shows since they have been put on without an audience.

She definitely has Hall of Famer written all over her and in several years when that times come she deserves a standing ovation.

WINNERS: The IIconics

A big return capped off with a big win. They earned a title shot next week as a result. It is very refreshing to see them back. They provide that comedy that we all could use right now. Their first reign with the tag titles wasn’t treated the correct way, especially since their win at Mania was so powerful.

Knocking off the tag champs is a great thing that shows promise for them possible winning back the titles. It would be rather poetic also for them to win them back from the team that beat them.

LOSERS: Alexs Bliss & Nikki Cross

There time could be numbered as champions. They have only held the titles since they beat The Kabuki Warriors at WrestleMania last month. They did defeat a makeshift team of Carmella and Dana Brooke a couple of weeks ago.

They could still retain after they face The IIconics next week, but as of this week it didn’t look good for them.

Money in the Bank Discussion Post 05.10.20

by
WWE MITB

The strangest, craziest and most unique Money In The Bank in history is here. Six women, three from RAW, three from SmackDown will start on the ground floor of WWE’s Titan Towers and fight their way up floor by floor and level by level all the way to the rooftop to capture the coveted Money … Read more

Winners & Losers: SmackDown 05.08.20

by

With the Money in the Bank pay-per-view this Sunday, most of the women on this week’s show were preparing for the event – except two. Two women who perhaps have the best storyline going between all brands during this strange moment in wrestling. They are the former Fire & Desire tag team, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.

At this time Rose and Deville do not have a match on the MITB card. This doesn’t mean they still won’t, but one thing is for sure this feud is far from over. Tonight was the first the two have gone one-on-one since Rose made the first slap at WrestleMania.

The match was good for a first fight. The storytelling is tremendous and both women are selling it so much that most of us are buying in bulk. Between Deville pulling out Rose’s eyelashes telling her she is going to make her ugly to Rose slamming Deville into the announce table saying, “who is the bitch now bitch?” everything was entertaining.

Deville was able to pick up the win in this first match with a hand full of tights as she runs up the ramp from a scathing Rose. In a WWE Exclusive, Deville reiterated that she will ruin Rose and that she is nowhere near finished, she is just getting started.

The second match of the night focused on the SmackDown Women’s Championship match that will take place at MITB. Tamina and Lacey Evans teamed up to face on Bayley and Sasha Banks. The match mostly focused on Tamina and Bayley which makes sense as they are the two that will battle on Sunday. The match was okay, it had its spots and did what it was meant to do.

Tamina picked up with the victory with a pin on the champion after a super kick followed up by a Samoan Drop. Evans will be involved in the MITB Ladder Match on Sunday along with Dana Brooke and Carmella. Brooke and Carmella would have a quick interview backstage with both of them basically pumping themselves up as potential winners.

Let’s go over the Winner’s & Loser’s of the week.

WINNER: Sonya Deville

It is so funny how times have changed. For so many Winners & Losers columns, I would have to put Fire & Desire in the Loser section. Mostly it was due to their booking. I wasn’t too sure how I would feel about them being split up. I wasn’t too crazy to see them split up when there are only literally three tag teams in the division that I want to be better so bad. This combined with the fact I did want them to win as a team. But….this has been great.

Sonya has really shined. Mandy is doing great also, but it is Sonya that is really showing her chops as far as promos and storytelling. Mandy was more of a voice before, so it is good to see Sonya take a lead with this. I can’t wait to see how far this will go.

WINNER: Tamina

Tamina is looking strong heading into MITB with a win. Not only a win but a pin on the champion. If she finally wins a title (other than 24/7 of course) over Bayley who is the longest-reigning SmackDown Champion would be a big boost to her career. She doesn’t even need a long reign, just something to solidify her career. I am ready for it although it is still a long stretch.

LOSERS: Carmella & Dana Brooke

I feel like the MITB participants were put on the back burner. Sure Lacey had a match and she was talked up about her placement in the match, but the three women should have been given more. They could have even had the RAW participants show up and all six of them interact. I don’t know, I just felt there should have been more of a push for them.

Mercedes Martinez vs. Sara Del Rey SHIMMER Vol. 1 – 11.06.05

by

This week’s Free Match Friday takes an almost 15-year jump in our time travel machine to the very first SHIMMER event. SHIMMER Vol. 1 was just the start of a company who focused on many of the great women we have seen throughout the years.

In this match we witness Mercedes Martinez facing Sara Del Rey. Del Rey, who eventually became the first SHIMMER Champion, takes Martinez to the limit in this match.

Del Rey has become the assistant head coach for NXT since 2015 and signed with the company as a trainer in 2012.

As of January, Martinez has been signed to WWE after being a 20-year veteran in the ring.
