Valkyria Advances to Semifinals! Ripley Steps To The #1 Contender

0

Saturday Night’s Main Event is just days away but tonight is the December 9, 2024 edition of Raw and we got a great showcase of the division’s depth during tonight’s show! There’s a lot to break down so let’s get started!

Women’s action kicked off with Liv Morgan ahead of her Women’s World Title defense this Saturday. The champ’s challenger, Dakota Kai. Looking determined to prove she’s more than ready to be a single’s contender!

Non-Title Match: Liv Morgan vs. Dakota Kai

Kai took control early, stringing together two hiptosses, a flipping neckbreaker, and a near fall. Liv briefly fought back, sending Kai over the top rope and causing Kai’s hand to crash into the steel steps—a spot that had the crowd wincing as we went to commercial.

Back from the break, Liv was in control, delivering two suplexes before Kai responded with one of her own. Dakota ramped things up with a dropkick, a running boot to the face in the corner, and a Scorpion Kick that nearly turned Liv’s lights out. The drama escalated when the Pure Fusion Collective (PFC) made their presence felt at ringside. Kai managed to fend off Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark while even kicking Sonya Deville off the apron. However, the distractions allowed Liv to dodge a final kick attempt and land Oblivion for the win after eight intense minutes.

Winner by pinfall: Liv Morgan

As the bell rang, PFC swarmed Dakota Kai, but Damage CTRL’s Iyo Sky and Kairi Sane came to her rescue. Sane launched herself from the top rope with a breathtaking Insane Elbow onto PFC at ringside, but Liv wasn’t done. She blindsided Sky with another Oblivion and stood tall, posing over Sky with the Women’s World Title to close out the shot. 

Earlier in the night, Sister Abigail got Scarlett shaking in her boots after sneaking up her during a 6 man tag match

The second match of the night is for a spot in the semifinals of the Women’s Intercontinental Title tournament!

Women’s Intercontinental Title Tournament Quarterfinals: Zelina Vega vs. Lyra Valkyria vs. Ivy Nile

Zelina Vega came out hot, drop kicking Nile and landing a spin kick on Lyra. A 619 on Lyra showcased Vega’s trademark flashiness, but Nile’s power turned the tide. A spinning slam on Lyra earned Nile a near fall as the match went to commercial.

Back from the break, Lyra picked up steam with a Tornado DDT and a fisherman’s suplex. Vega re-entered with a senton bomb onto both women for dual near falls, and the crowd was on fire for her. Nile, however, demonstrated her raw strength with a spinning sidewalk slam on Vega and a double German suplex on both opponents!! Damn. That was awesome!

In the final stretch, Lyra took advantage of the chaos, landing her Nightwing sitout slam on Nile for the victory.

Winner by pinfall: Lyra Valkyria

With this win, Lyra Valkyria joins Dakota Kai in the semifinals! Lyra really had the crowd cheering after her victory.

Anything Goes Match: Raquel Rodriguez vs. Rhea Ripley

Rhea Ripley wasted no time, ambushing Raquel Rodriguez during her entrance. The brawl spilled into the crowd before returning to ringside, where Rhea introduced weapons, including a trash can to Raquel’s head.

Once inside the ring, the chaos only grew. Rhea nailed a missile dropkick and set up a table, but Raquel turned the tide with a fallaway slam onto the commentary table. After the break, the carnage escalated: Raquel sent Rhea into a steel chair, but Rhea fought back with vicious chair shots and a near Riptide onto the chairs, only to be interrupted by Liv Morgan’s interference.

Liv’s distraction allowed Raquel to regain control temporarily, slamming Rhea onto a pile of chairs. Iyo Sky then stormed the ring, hitting a missile dropkick on Liv and a suicide dive to the outside. Meanwhile, Rhea capitalized, sending Raquel into a chair wedged in the corner and delivering a devastating Riptide through a table for the win.

Winner by pinfall: Rhea Ripley

As the dust settled, Rhea and Iyo Sky engaged in a tense staredown over the Women’s World Title. With both women making their case as top contenders!

Great episode of Raw, it made me really excited for the Royal Rumble. Iyo needed that final staredown going towards Saturday Night’s Main Event. Happy to see both Lyra & Morgan get wins, even if the latter was at the expense of Kai. Meanwhile, Rhea Ripley’s victory in the main event and her confrontation with Iyo Sky reminds everyone Mami is always on top.

10 Years Later: Charlotte Flair Has First Match On Raw With Natalya

0

December 8, 2014 – It was 10 years ago when Charlotte Flair had her very first match on WWE Raw. She was the reigning NXT Women’s Champion at the time and her opponent was Natalya.

These two women already had and would go on to have many memorable matches together, but in this encounter, Natalya took the win in quick fashion. Flair would be called up to the main roster in July 2015 alongside Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. She dropped the NXT Women’s Title to Banks in February 2015 (in a Fatal Four way to also include Bayley and Lynch) who lost it to Bayley in August after the call up

Tiffany Stratton Makes Appearance At Deadline, Teases A Future Cash In

0

Ms. Money in the Bank, Tiffany Stratton, stuck around in her hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota after SmackDown on Friday. She appeared at NXT Deadline on Saturday and had a Tiffany Epiphany.

General Manager Ava had just announced that NXT will be in Los Angeles for its first event of 2025. On Jan. 7, New Year’s Evil will take place on NXT’s regularly scheduled night. There, the winner of the 2024 Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge will face Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship.

Stratton looks to keep a close eye on this as we now know Giulia will be facing Perez as Ms. Money in the Bank has teased a cash in. Maybe in La La Land it will be Tiffy Time?

Stratton has also made it to the semi-finals of the Women’s United States Title Tournament. She faces Michin on next Friday’s SmackDown to determine who advances to the finals.

Giulia Wins Iron Survivor Challenge, Set To Face Roxanne Perez

0

The Beautiful Madness is the 2024 Iron Survivor!

Two falls is what it took for Giulia to become the new number one contender. She will face Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Title at New Year’s Evil on Jan. 7. At Deadline on Saturday, Giulia started off the match with Wren Sinclair and Sol Ruca, ZARIA, and Stephanie Vaquer followed (in that order).

All five women gelled so well in this match that it left many on the edge of their seats until the very last second. The first fall went to Giulia, but as the match progressed, each woman was picking up a fall. Unfortunately for Sinclair, she found herself in the penalty box more than any other woman as a result. Giulia would see the penalty box once though as ZARIA pinned her.

A big part of the match laid out ZARIA on the announce table from a huge powerbomb from both Giulia and Vaquer. The former teammates would then go at it, leaving Sinclair to pick up the scraps. She wasn’t able to do so at that time.

In the final moments of the match, Sinclair was able to get a pin of her own on Ruca, sending Ruca to the penalty box for the rest of the time. Sinclair almost pulled the biggest upset getting the second fall and victory, but no such luck. It came down to Giulia pinning ZARIA to get the win. However, the final few seconds was Vaquer trying to tie it up against Giulia but ran out of time.

Giulia and Vaquer were a high focus in the match as they went between their tag team dynamic to now facing each other which was well received by the crowd.

Despite all five women tearing it down in the main event, Ruca was the MVP while Sinclair held her own as a huge Wild Card.

Jamie Hayter vs. Willow Nightingale Set To Qualify For International Women’s Cup

The International Women’s Cup is approaching on Jan. 5 as it will take place at the NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty event. It will be a Four Way Match to include one woman from AEW, ROH, STARDOM, and CMLL.

AEW will have its representative decided at Collision: Winter is Coming. Willow Nightingale is set to face Jamie Hayter. Nightingale earned this shot against Hayter after defeating Serena Deeb on this Saturday’s Collision.

In addition, on this week’s Collision, Mina Shirakawa stood victorious over Emi Sakura. This was a big win for Shirakawa as she faces Mariah May for the AEW Women’s World Championship this Wednesday, Dec. 11, on Dynamite: Winter is Coming

Former AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa had a message for both May and Shirakawa. She states the last time she was in the ring with each one of them she beat them. She wants next.

Lola Vice Goes 3-0 In NXT Underground

0

Lola Vice continues to be the Queen of NXT Underground.

At Saturday’s NXT Deadline, the very heated rivalry between Lola Vice and Jaida Parker took it Underground. Vice went in being 0-1 against Parker but 2-0 in Underground matches. She had previously defeated both Natalya and Shayna Baszler in this match style.

Vice pulled out a win once again to make herself undefeated in NXT Underground and being the only woman to compete in all three. This wasn’t an easy victory for Vice though as Parker took her to her limit. This included focusing on the right hand and shoulder of Vice trying to make her less effective in her striking ability.

Towards the results of the match, Parker brought out a brick from under the ring. She had hopes to use it, much as she did in her win against Vice in their Hardcore match. But both women fumbled the brick without it being used. Vice would submit Parker with a chokehold.

Parker would sit at ringside post match showing her frustrations. This doesn’t seem to be over.

Bayley Explains Her Absence From Dec. 6 SmackDown

Coming off of WarGames, Bayley was missing from the most recent episode of SmackDown. She was present for SmackDown LowDown and explained her absence.

“I don’t think anyone’s 100% coming out of war games. That match is so brutal. We all know the stakes we take, all the risks we take just by joining the teams and being a part of it. I was in there from the very beginning, starting with Nia Jax. So it took a toll. But let’s just say I’m happy that I got this week off to rest, okay? I get to rest. I get to study. I get to watch some Chelsea Green matches.”

Next week’s SmackDown will be the semi-finals for the Women’s U.S. Title Tournament. Bayley will be taking on Chelsea Green while Tiffany Stratton and Michin will battle as well. The winners will advance to the finals at Saturday Night’s Main Event on Dec. 14 to crown the first ever champion.

Viva Van Wins In CMLL Return!

0

Hello everyone, Happy Friday! Tonight, in a match relámpago, Viva Van returned, formally representing ROH to the iconic Arena México to face the second generation wrestler Skadi in a single match.

After previously announcing her return to CMLL via her Instagram, she promised to win and to continue doing so the following weeks leading into December 13th, where she, along with Red Velvet, will be representing Ring of Honor in tag team action.

The Hellbent Vixen was victorious just around the eight-minute mark with a surprise victory roll on Skadi.

Skadi is a very talented wrestler, and I am always happy to see her perform. I am glad that Viva Van got a win, and she seems to finally be a part of ROH. Hopefully, she gets a break-out year in 2025.

That will be it for now, until next time!

Tiffany Stratton Gets Hometown Victory; Jade Cargill’s Attacker Still Not Known

Friday Night SmackDown aired this week from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with much fallout from Survivor Series: WarGames last Saturday. Bayley, Bianca Belair, and Naomi were on the winning team this year alongside Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY from Raw. Now almost a week later, Naomi now has a match against Tiffany Stratton, and in a rare in-ring appearance, Elektra Lopez, which will finish the first round of the Women’s United States Championship tournament. Meanwhile, Belair has to contend with the fact that she still does not know the identity of who attacked Jade Cargill two weeks ago.

Kicking off the women’s action this week was Ivy Nile, who made a surprising appearance with the rest of American Made, a stable from Monday Night Raw, as leader Chad Gable confronted Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes at the start of the show. A Minnesota native himself, Gable explained that the “transfer window”, perhaps alluding to potential trades between WWE’s brands, is about to open, and Team Blue general manager Nick Aldis has apparently contacted the group about switching over to the SmackDown roster.

Michael Cole would confirm that the transfer window is indeed open due to Monday Night Raw’s impending move to Netflix in January. This will be a collaborative effort between general managers Aldis, Adam Pearce, and Ava in switching several Superstars around between SmackDown, Raw, and NXT, which will undoubtedly change the landscape of the women’s division on all shows.

The show then cuts to Naomi and Bianca Belair backstage, with Belair noticeably having her stomach covered up with athletic tape after the events of last Saturday. The EST says that now that WarGames is over, she can finally focus on who took Jade out. Naomi says that she is with her all the way, expressing her support for Belair, but has to deal with her triple threat match first and leaves.

Chelsea Green and Piper Niven enter the scene, with Green saying that Belair has so much time now to focus on this “Jade mystery” as she lost her shot at becoming the first-ever Women’s United Champion in the first round of the tournament. Belair retorts and says that Green is lucky that she took herself out of the match… but in actuality, was it luck, or was it Piper that took Cargill out? Belair mentions that Niven didn’t accompany Green during their triple threat match, and usually Chelsea can’t win without Piper’s interference. Niven tells Belair to watch herself and what she’s being accused of, claiming she didn’t touch Jade, but she can put Bianca in a hospital bed next to Jade. The trash talk leads to Belair attacking both of them, but Green and Niven target her stomach and lay her out. Niven will meet her in the ring and the two walk off as Belair is on the floor in pain.

Tiffany Stratton makes her entrance for the triple threat match, being announced from Prior Lake, Minnesota, followed by the entrances of Elektra Lopez and Naomi.

The three start to brawl with one another, but Lopez throws Naomi out of the ring and kicks her when she tries to retaliate. Lopez yells out “I didn’t come here to play no games!” and it reflects in her moveset, which seems to emphasize a lot of striking attacks. Stratton quickly takes control with the fans cheering on their hometown hero, hitting Naomi with an impactful dropkick and nearly performing a bodyslam on Lopez, which the Legado Del Fantasma valet counters into a half-crab hold. The three then begin to pin each other, with the action keeping up at a quick pace.

Ultimately, as Naomi gets ready to execute a move on Lopez, Candice LeRae appears to try and attack her but gets thrown into the floor as a result. Naomi’s attempt to put Lopez away fails and she herself is again thrown out of the ring, but with Lopez still laid out and not getting up, that becomes an opportunity for Stratton to hit “The Prettiest Moonsault” for the victory.

The semi-finals are now set for next week, which will have Bayley going up against Chelsea Green and Michin taking on Stratton. The winners of those two matches will go on to Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14th to determine the inaugural Women’s United States Champion.

B-Fab was seen backstage with Nick Aldis tending to both Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins of The Street Profits, both of whom were clearly the victims of an attack that would require medical attention. The two were set to challenge the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) later on for the WWE Tag Team Championships.

Bianca Belair and Piper Niven were then set to go one-on-one. Belair was obviously still dealing with the aftermath of what was revealed to be hurt ribs as a result of the WarGames match, trying to muster up enough strength to fight Niven off. The EST’s focus would change to making sure she could tire Niven out, which she tried to do by throwing her head into the turnbuckles several times. Trying to lift Piper up for the K.O.D. would be reversed into a belly-to-back suplex, but Belair would still kick out of anything Niven could execute. Green, attempting to distract Belair, would get thrown into the ring, and Belair would finally be able to hit Niven with the K.O.D. onto her for the victory.

After the match, Belair would run into Naomi, who told her she knew it felt good to get her hands on Piper. Naomi says that she’s getting sick of Tiffany and Candice, as the two can’t stop getting on her neck. Byron Saxton interrupts the two for an interview, stating while he knows Bianca believes Piper was behind Jade’s attack, he can personally confirm that he saw her sitting beside Gorilla position during Bianca’s triple threat match. Asking Belair who else she thought could have attacked Jade, Naomi decides to speak and says there are a multitude of options: Women’s Champion Nia Jax, Tiffany, Candice, Liv Morgan, and Raquel Rodriguez. Belair says she doesn’t know who did it, but when she finds out, it’ll be on sight, which Naomi appears to agree with.

Going back to the tag title scene for a minute, DIY would take the places of the Street Profits as challengers to the Motor City Machine Guns, and after Johnny Gargano turned heel on his now-former friends with the support of Tomasso Ciampa, the two became the new WWE Tag Team Champions. Now backstage, Candice LeRae would appear once again, this time to give her husband a hug and congratulate them on winning.

Lastly, Ivy Nile re-emerged with The Creed Brothers to accompany Chad Gable in the main event against Cody Rhodes. Nile would briefly get up on the apron, staring coldly at the The American Nightmare and distracting him to set up an opportunity for Gable to take control. The trio would eventually be ejected from ringside by referee Jessika Carr, and Gable would end up losing the match.

Here is what’s set to take place next week on Friday Night SmackDown, which will be emanating from Hartford, Connecticut:

  • Women’s United States Championship Tournament Semi-Final: Bayley vs. Chelsea Green
  • Women’s United States Championship Tournament Semi-Final: Michin vs. Tiffany Stratton

The winners of both matches will go on to face each other at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 14th from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, New York. For American viewers, the show will be airing at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on both NBC and Peacock.

Make sure to share your thoughts on tonight’s episode of SmackDown in the comments below!

WWE Transfer Window Open: Superstars From All Three Brands Can Move To A Different Brand

0

On the Dec. 6 episode of SmackDown, Raw’s American Made appeared on the brand. Chad Gable would confront Cody Rhodes with the rest of the stable, Ivy Nile and the Creed Brothers, in tow.

Although it isn’t completely unusual to see some Superstars appear on other brands, this time it was for a bigger reason. During the segment, both Gable and Rhodes mentioned about the transfer window and how Gable and American Made could wind up on SmackDown.

After the segment was over, Michael Cole confirmed what was expressed. He stated that General Managers from Raw (Adam Pearce), SmackDown (Nick Aldis), and NXT (Ava) are working together to move Superstars around ahead of the Netflix move for Raw on Jan. 6.

“WWE LFG” Competition Series Coming Soon, Mickie James As Mentor

0

A new competitor show is coming for WWE, much like the former Tough Enough. It will be named WWE LFG (Legends & Future Greats). It will air on A&E.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, “The cable network has picked up a series called WWE LFG, which will feature would-be pro wrestlers vying for a WWE contract while receiving training and coaching from in-ring legends Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and others. (The “LFG” in the title stands for “Legends & Future Greats,” A&E says.)

Along with the competition series, A&E has also ordered a second new series, WWE’s Greatest Moments — which, true to its name, will break down iconic matches and events in the company’s history — and a fifth season of its docuseries WWE Rivals.

“Literally filled with blood, sweat, and tears, there’s never been a series that combines in-ring action, behind-the-scenes reality, high-stakes drama, and some of WWE’s greatest icons all in one package,” A+E Networks president of programming Rob Sharenow said in a statement. “From total unknowns to legends, LFG will give viewers a raw, ground-up, 360-degree view of what it truly takes to make it in the WWE. Our collaboration with WWE has clearly struck a chord with audiences, and we’re excited to continue producing premium content that resonates with a diverse viewership,” said Levesque, the WWE’s chief content officer, “A&E has proved to be an excellent home for WWE content, and we’re excited to partner with their fantastic team on these new show concepts and the latest season of WWE Rivals.”

LFG is reminiscent of Tough Enough, a competition series that aired in the early 2000s (and was briefly revived in 2010) that also put would-be WWE stars through their paces. The new show will also feature WWE greats Booker T, Mickie James and Bubba Ray Dudley mentoring the contestants, who will complete in weekly matches in addition to learning the behind-the-scenes aspects of the business.”

0

December 6, 2024 marks 20 years since Lita challenged Trish Stratus for the WWE Women’s Championship in the main event of Raw. A rivalry for the ages.

The significance of this match will always go down in history as the first time women were the main event on Raw. It holds a special place in wrestling fans hearts and can even be asked, “Where were you the night Lita and Trish main evented Raw?”

The match itself had a hold your breath moment when Lita dived to the outside and her landing made many worried about her recent return from neck injury. The spectacle culminated with Lita winning her second championship after hitting the twist of fate followed by a moonsault and pinning Stratus.

To celebrate this memory, Lita and Stratus are holding an event in Columbus, Ohio tonight.

Tasha Steelz Pins Jordynne Grace And Earns Title Shot At Final Resolution

We are now one week away from Final Resolution, and the TNA Knockouts look to gain more edge heading into some career-making matchups.

First, we hear from Tasha Steelz before her match against Jordynne Grace tonight. Steelz says that Grace has been a thorn at her side for a long time now. And that tonight, things will change once Grace gets a taste of the “Flava” and makes her way back into the Knockouts title picture.

Next, we also catch the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions, Spitfire, backstage lamenting over their recent losses against The Elegance Brand. Dani Luna will have a chance to get her hands on Heather By Elegance next week. But, this time they look to prove why they hold the championships.

The two lock-p and have a test of strength. Meanwhile, Rosemary has a good view of this match from atop the Impact Zone.

Back in the ring, The Juggernaut has a hold of The Boricua Badass and hits her with a Stalling Suplex. Grace takes Steelz up to the top rope, only for Grace to get caught and stomped on the canvas.

We come back to both competitors propped up high risk, and Steelz manages to send Grace crashing. The power advantage of Grace though, catches Steelz in a precarious position to send her flying. Steelz attempts to counter Grace’s strength advantage and hits a Sliced Bread, only for a two count. Grace’s impressive offense cannot seem to outbeat Steelz’s resilience.

In dire straits, Steelz’s tag team partner, Alisha Edwards, comes in to cause a distraction. And this proves good results as Steelz slips in the three count for the win.

An enranged Grace tries to fight against this team but meets a numbers disadvantage. Finally, the TNA Knockouts World Champion, Masha Slamovich, comes to make the save. But, it seems that Steelz and Edwards have gotten into the head of Grace.

After her antics tonight, Steelz now has a shot at the Knockouts Title come Final Resolution.

What did you think about about tonight’s TNA Impact? Can Steelz take the title from Slamovich? Will this setback Grace’s Knockouts Title effort? Can Spitfire put a stop to The Elegance Brand’s antics? And when will Rosemary strike? Let us know in the comments below!

Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to the HonorClub! In this edition we had two women’s matches in which Trish Adora, in company of Shane Taylor Promotions, defeated Rachel Ellering, with her lariat Tubman.

In a backstage segment post match, Rachel Ellering was being interviewed by Lexy Nair only to be interrupted by Harley Cameron. She gave Ellering a gift, a dog trophy that reminded her of her, the top dog. The two (three) of them embraced with a hug to end the segment.
