Sheamus & Cesaro’s opponents will be determined in a Triple Threat Match on this week’s edition of SmackDown LIVE. >Will it be a Happy Rusev Day for The Bulgarian Brute and The Drama King, who are seemingly back on the same page? Or will three-time champions The Usos or the unpredictable SAnitY put a damper on the celebrations? Will Samoa Joe actually go to AJ Styles’ home? >With a WWE Championship rematch scheduled between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe for the WWE Hell in a Cell event, The Samoan Submission Machine has continued to push the Phenomenal One’s buttons to try and throw the champion off his game. Joe crossed the line once again last week, calling the WWE Champion’s wife while AJ watched in the ring, saying he was going to pay a visit to the Styles home this week. Will Joe make good on his words? How will Daniel Bryan & Brie Bella bounce back? >Last Tuesday, Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella were the targets of a 4-on-2 attack at the hands of The Miz, Maryse, Andrade “Cien” Almas & Zelina Vega, capped off with The Awesome One putting Bryan in the “Yes!” Lock and forcing him to watch as Maryse planted Brie into the canvas with a devastating DDT. >As their Mixed Tag Team Match at WWE Hell in a Cell rapidly approaches, will Bryan & Brie be out for payback on The It Couple? What’s next for Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch? >Becky Lynch made her intentions clear on SmackDown LIVE last Tuesday when she blindsided Charlotte Flair and said that she’d be SmackDown Women’s Champion when she has her way. >Will The Irish Lass Kicker continue her rampage, or will The Queen get the upper hand on her former best friend?

Still in Canada Edition Charlotte Flair defends the SmackDown Women’s Title against Carmella tonight >After defeating Carmella and Becky Lynch in a Triple Threat Match to capture the SmackDown Women’s Championship at SummerSlam, Charlotte will make her first defense against former titleholder Carmella tonight on SmackDown LIVE. >The Queen returned several weeks ago, stopping The Princess of Staten Island from attacking Becky Lynch, who had earned a title opportunity by defeating Carmella. Afterward, Flair was given the opportunity to be added into the SummerSlam title showdown, and she took advantage by defeating Princess Mella. >At The Biggest Event of The Summer, Flair pinned Lynch to win the championship, sending The Irish Lass Kicker into a rage that saw her viciously attack The Queen and end their friendship. Two nights later on the blue brand, Charlotte and Becky once again threw fists in a wild melee and had to be pulled apart by nearly every woman on SmackDown LIVE. After the brawl, Carmella approached SmackDown LIVE General Manager Paige about getting her rematch, and her request was granted. >Will Charlotte Flair put the implosion of her closest friendship aside, or will Carmella take advantage and reclaim her title?

OOOOAAAAAAAHHHH Edition Braun Strowman wants to face Roman Reigns in the ring alone > Well, that escalated quickly. >During a heated Universal Championship main event pitting new titleholder Roman Reigns against challenger Finn Bálor — the first Superstar to hold that title — Braun Strowman emerged with his Money in the Bank contract in tow, making it clear that whoever won the match would, indeed, “get these hands.” >The [LOUD BOOING] won with a ring-shaking Spear, capitalizing on the chaos, but when The Monster Among Men attempted to cash in for his guaranteed title opportunity against the battle-weary champion, Reigns’ Shield brothers, Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, emerged to overpower the opportunistic behemoth and lay him out with a thunderous Triple Powerbomb through the announce desk. >Strowman still has his contract, but he also has a massive score to settle with The [LOUD BOOING]. Via Twitter, The Monster Among Men said he wants Reigns to confront him in the middle of the ring on Raw, without his Shield brothers. >Reigns replied to affirm he will be there at 8 p.m. ET, with his Universal Championship in tow. Ronda Rousey carries the torch >After Stephanie McMahon tried to take credit for the Women’s Evolution, diminishing the accomplishments of the Superstars, new Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey retaliated by attacking the Raw Commissioner and locking her in the same Armbar that put away Alexa Bliss the previous night at SummerSlam. >Although it remains to be seen if The Baddest Woman on the Planet will face repercussions for her actions, it’s clear that she’s ready to carry the division on her back and be a true fighting champion. Who will be next to step to Rowdy Ronda? Moreover, when will Little Miss Bliss be up to the task of facing Rousey once again in her guaranteed rematch? Baron Corbin settles into his new position >After incurring the wrath of Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey, Stephanie McMahon was, as one might expect, fairly critical of General Manager Kurt Angle, giving The Olympic Hero an unexpected vacation that puts Baron Corbin in charge of the red brand as its Acting General Manager. >This Monday, The Lone Wolf will run a full episode of Raw for the first time ever. How will he deal with The Shield, The Baddest Woman on the Planet, his nemesis Finn Bálor and the Superstar who defeated him this past Monday night, Bobby Lashley?

ÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖ EDITION' SmackDown LIVE preview, Aug. 21, 2018: Two huge matches headline a special edition in Brooklyn Because the fallout from a monumental SummerSlam just wasn't enough, Paige has put together a special edition of SmackDown LIVE that has the WWE Universe buzzing with excitement. After Sunday's controversial title match, The Bludgeon Brothers will put the SmackDown Tag Team Titles on the line against The New Day in a No Disqualification Match. Plus, Jeff Hardy will finally be able to get his hands on Randy Orton when the two square off in the evening's very first match. You won't want to miss a second of the action, starting tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network! >The New Day and The Bludgeon Brothers meet in No Disqualification title showdown The SummerSlam showdown between The New Day and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers ended in a disqualification after Rowan clobbered the challengers with his mallet, setting off a brutal beatdown. The New Day won the battle but left without the titles because of the disqualification ending. There will be no chance of that happening when the two teams clash tonight in a No Disqualification Match for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles. Will The Bludgeon Brothers bring their mallets into battle from the get-go and pummel the challengers into submission, or can The New Day topple the monsters and claim their fifth tag team championship? >Jeff Hardy finally goes one-on-one with Randy Orton Randy Orton has spent the past several weeks tormenting Jeff Hardy, whether it was trying to rip Hardy’s ear open with his bare hands or attacking The Charismatic Enigma and removing his trademark face-paint. Hardy was vulnerable to another attack from The Viper after losing to Shinsuke Nakamura on Sunday at SummerSlam, but Orton instead turned around and walked away, later saying he’d deal with Hardy on his terms. SmackDown General Manager Paige took to Twitter on Monday, announcing that Hardy and Orton would square off on Tuesday night and that it would be the first match to take place on SmackDown LIVE. What will happen when this heated rivalry hits the squared circle? <Becky Lynch to explain her actions at SummerSlam After months of fighting to get back into the SmackDown Women’s Championship picture, Becky Lynch came up short at SummerSlam, as Charlotte Flair dethroned Carmella by pinning Becky to claim the title for herself. The Irish Lass Kicker initially seemed to be happy for her best friend, hugging Flair, but she snapped in an instant, putting a vicious beating on The Queen. Lynch will explain her actions tonight on SmackDown LIVE. What explanation could she have for the fiery fury she unleashed on her best friend? >AJ Styles to give an exclusive interview

Although he thinks the elevated profile of women’s wrestling in WWE is “a positive reflection of shifting social norms,” 27-year-old Braden Larson of Cleveland fears a harsh backlash if he openly states that he still doesn’t particularly care for women’s matches. “I mean, I think it’s nice that the women are getting their own pay-per-view and everything, but it just doesn’t really appeal to my personal tastes,” Larson said. “I said that on Twitter, and a bunch of people called me a misogynist.” Larson holds a number of opinions about women’s wrestling, which he bolieves are based in common sense, but have sparked heated backlash in online forums. Among his most controversial opinions: >“I find men’s matches typically more exciting and hard-hitting, by virtue of their larger physiques and power-based move-sets.” >“The announcement of Evolution was interesting, but calling it ‘historic’ seems like hyperbole. I mean, it’s still just silly pro wrestling, not a significant geopolitical event.” >“I grew up watching predominantly men’s wrestling, so perhaps my preference for men’s matches is based partly on nostalgia.” >“Rather than giving women their own pay-per-view, wouldn’t it be more progressive and egalitarian to give them equal screen-time on normal pay-per-views, thereby not segregating talent into different modalities based on gender — which, when you think about it, is actually contrary to the concept of equality?” After expressing such comments in an online wrestling forum, Larson was accused of hate speech and banned from posting.

SmackDown LIVE preview, Aug. 14, 2018: AJ Styles has more to say to Samoa Joe WWE Champion AJ Styles returned to SmackDown LIVE last week with plenty to say about his SummerSlam challenger, Samoa Joe, after The Samoan Submission Machine accused The Phenomenal One of being a poor father. Apparently, the champion has more to get off his chest, as he’ll be responding further just five days before their title showdown in Brooklyn. What will Styles have to say? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE at 8/7 C on USA Network. '' >AJ Styles has more to say to Samoa Joe WWE Champion AJ Styles returned to SmackDown LIVE last week with strong words for his SummerSlam opponent, Samoa Joe, one week after the challenger insinuated that Styles is a poor father. The Phenomenal One said The Samoan Submission Machine would walk into Brooklyn for their championship battle, but he might have trouble walking out. Apparently, the WWE Champion has more to say, as he will be responding further to his SummerSlam opponent. Is Styles going to lay into Joe with another fiery retort before Sunday, or are Samoa Joe’s mind games working? <SmackDown Women’s Title Match participants come face to face The SmackDown Women’s Championship Match at SummerSlam is sure to be a battle for the ages, with Carmella, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch looking to walk out of The Biggest Event of the Summer with championship gold. Tensions will certainly be running high when all three women come face to face on SmackDown LIVE. The friendship between The Queen and The Irish Lass Kicker has certainly been put to the test in recent weeks; will The Princess of Staten Island look to turn the two buds against one another before SummerSlam? >Aiden English goes one-on-one with Andrade “Cien” Almas After costing Rusev & Lana a trio of singles matches against Andrade “Cien” Almas and Zelina Vega, Aiden English has vowed to make it up to his friends. English’s quest for penance apparently begins with battling El Idolo himself. The Drama King took to Twitter over the weekend, calling out Almas for a one-on-one battle on SmackDown LIVE. >The New Day clash with SAnitY in Six-Man Tag Team showdown The New Day emerged victorious from a four-team tournament to earn a SmackDown Tag Team Title opportunity at SummerSlam, but before they take on The Bludgeon Brothers in Brooklyn, they will clash with another dangerous crew on SmackDown LIVE: SAnitY. Can The New Day control the chaos in this Six-Man Tag Team battle, or will Eric Young’s crew soften them up for Harper & Rowan?

This takeover's card includes: >NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa vs. Johnny Gargano (Last Man Standing Match) <NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler vs. Kairi Sane >NXT North American Champion Adam Cole vs. Ricochet >NXT Tag Team Champions Undisputed ERA vs. Moustache Mountain >EC3 vs. Velveteen Dream Preshow starts tonight at 6. Predictions? Will it better than tomorrow's Summerslam?

Nobody is watching Edition Who is coming for Universal Champion Roman Reigns? >At SummerSlam, The [LOUD BOOING] finally bested The Beast to once again lay claim to the Universal Championship, but when he returns to his yard tonight, who will be waiting to try and take it from him? ?Although Brock Lesnar is known for his frequent absences from the red brand, it is reasonable to assume that The Conqueror will set his sights on Reigns sooner or later. In addition, after making his presence known last night in SummerSlam’s main event, Braun Strowman could very well make good on his promise to cash in his Money in the Bank contract. Ronda Rousey to receive custom Raw Women's Title >Ronda Rousey added to her already incredible legacy by making Alexa Bliss tap out in dominant fashion, claiming the Raw Women’s Championship last night at SummerSlam. How will the landscape on Raw change with The Baddest Woman on the Planet at the top of the mountain? And will The Goddess of WWE dare to come back in search of her sixth Women’s Championship? Rousey’s official coronation ceremony tonight will likely shed some light on what the WWE Universe can expect from Raw’s new-look Women’s division. Ambrose returns to in-ring competition against Ziggler >Of course, another Raw Superstar also returned to glory at Sunday night’s pay-per-view, as Dean Ambrose completely neutralized Drew McIntyre and paved the way for Seth Rollins to regain the Intercontinental Championship from Dolph Ziggler. >With the title now back around Rollins’ waist and his brother-at-arms watching his back, The Architect seems virtually unstoppable as the workhorse champion. Can Ziggler maintain his alliance with the Sinister Scotsman without a championship? We’ll see how he fares on his own tonight when the former champion locks horns with Ambrose in The Lunatic Fringe’s first match back from injury. Who can stop the B-Team? >The B-Team’s magical run as Raw Tag Team Champions continued when they bested The Revival on the SummerSlam Kickoff last night. Who will be the next team to try and end Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas’ Cinderella story? What fallout will occur after The Demon’s reemergence?

WHO WAS HE?!?!?!!

http://archive.is/wy3jc With a heavy heart, we have learned that Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart has passed away. Killer Bee Brian Blair who also runs the Cauliflower Alley Club made the announcement this morning. At this time there is no cause of death or confirmation other than Blair’s tweet on the matter. We’re sure there will be many longer tributes for The Anvil up as the pro wrestling world pays tribute to this amazing talent and mountain of a man. His appearances on Total Divas were an amazing way to remember him during his later years as his daughter Natalya dealt with having The Anvil as a father. He was lovable and intimidating at the same time and he will be missed. At this time our thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who is saddened by this great loss, which should be anyone who was a pro wrestling fan at any time in the last twenty to thirty years. The Anvil will never be forgotten.

WWE Raw preview, Aug. 13, 2018: Raw Tag Team Titles on the line in Triple Threat Match Six nights before SummerSlam, The B-Team will defend the Raw Tag Team Championship against The DELETErs of Worlds and The Revival in a Triple Threat Match. Can Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas cling to their titles heading into The Biggest Event of the Summer? Plus, Seth Rollins meets Dolph Ziggler for their Intercontinental Title Match contract signing! >Can The B-Team beat the odds yet again? The B-Team are one of the most bewildering underdog stories in recent WWE history, transforming from perennial losers to world-beaters seemingly overnight. However, after Curtis Axel & Bo Dallas captured the Raw Tag Team Titles from The DELETErs of Worlds at WWE Extreme Rules, “Woken” Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt have stayed hot on their heels, and the hungry Revival have made clear their intent to lay waste to both teams in pursuit of Team Red’s tandem titles. All three teams will collide in a Triple Threat Match for the Raw Tag Team Championship Monday night on Raw. Will The B-Team’s fortune finally run out? And if it does, will it be The DELETErs of Worlds or Raw’s “Top Guys” who walk into SummerSlam as champions? <Alexa Bliss on the run Despite her interference in last week’s main event, Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss watched in horror as Ronda Rousey — competing for the very first time on Raw — made Alicia Fox tap ferociously to her excruciating Armbar, sending a painful message to The Goddess before their title match at SummerSlam. Afterward, Bliss told WWE.com that she’s not afraid of Rousey, reiterating that when The Baddest Woman on the Planet gets in the ring with her at SummerSlam, the world will see her as “nothing but an overhyped rookie.” Will Little Miss Bliss come to regret those words? <Renee Young to step in on Raw announce team as guest commentator Monday night Renee Young will be stepping in for Jonathan Coachman on the Raw announce team as a guest commentator this Monday night, ESPN.com reports. Coachman, meanwhile, will be fulfilling another obligation. Young will work alongside Michael Cole and Corey Graves for all three hours of the broadcast, making this the first time a woman has called an entire episode of Raw. Don’t miss Renee Young’s (((historic))) Raw announce team debut live this Monday at 8/7 C on USA Network. >Constable Baron Corbin and Finn Bálor to compete in separate singles matches
