WWE RAW Results - Roman Reigns vs. Sheamus, Vince McMahon and Stephanie

Roman Reigns took on Sheamus for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Reigns defeated Sheamus.
But of course that wasnt the real story.
The real story was Vince McMahon, Roman Reigns and Stephanie.
I watch all this and think it's all been done before with Vince and Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H and Daniel Bryan.
Really nothing new.
The only real takeaway from this whole segment to me was that now Reigns will be defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the Royal Rumble match and that this will be the first time that the WWE World Heavyweight Championship has been on the line in the Royal Rumble since 1992.

Seth Rollins, Stephanie, Triple H and Roman Reigns

On WWE Raw Monday night, Roman Reigns interrupted Triple H and Stephanie McMahon so he could get in the face of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.

SmackDown - Dolph Ziggler vs Rusev

On WWE Smackdown on October 15th, 2015, Dolph Ziggler defeated Rusev, with a special guest referee, Summer Rae.
Yeah the match was weighted since Summer Rae was jilted by Rusev.
And Dolph Ziggler won via the "Zig Zag".

No WWE RAW Next Week?

Yeah last night was Monday Night RAW, but the big news is what about next weeks Raw?
There is a conflict as to who will get an event at the Pepsi Center in Denver next Monday night.
Here is the latest update I have found.....

WWE out, Lakers-Nuggets in for Game 4
10:56 AM, May 19, 2009
The controversy over the double booking of the Pepsi Center on Monday has been resolved ... at least partially.
Kroenke Sports Enterprises, which owns the Nuggets and the arena, booked a WWE "Monday Night Raw" wrestling show on Monday, which conflicted with Game 4 of the Western Conference finals between the Nuggets and the Lakers.
The Denver Post reported that the game will go on as scheduled. Matter settled, at least as far as the arena is concerned.
WWE? That's another matter. "I'm up the creek and I don't have a paddle, either," Vince McMahon, WWE chairman, told the Denver Post. I really don't know what to do.... I have no idea what's going to happen."
Read the whole article here.

And what will happen?
The WWE is looking for a replacement venue on very short notice.
Has a Raw broadcast ever been canceled?

Rumors are floating around that they may tape RAW on Saturday night at the WWE live event in Salt Lake City.
Another idea is that they may tape RAW in Colorado Springs on Monday.
But what about all the RAW tickets already sold?
Do the people in Denver drive the 70 some odd miles to Colorado Springs?
Or will Vince just pull the WWE trucks into the Pepsi Center parking lot, go "old school" and set the ring up there and have it in the parking lot?

I have to admit, I like that last idea best no matter how illogical it is.
The idea of seeing John Cena, Batista, Matt Hardy, Randy Orton or Big Show battling under the stars outside in a ring is awesome.

WWE Wrestling News

Tonight on WWE Raw will be a handicap match, John Cena and Batista versus Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase, and Cody Rhodes.

It looks like The Undertaker will be requiring arthroscopic surgery to repair some long-term hip and knee damage. The WWE is hoping one..., that they can get him back before SummerSlam, and two....that Jeff Hardy will hang around until Taker gets back.
Yes Jeff is pretty hurt up too (if you have seen him wrestle you wont wonder why) and needs a break from wrestling for awhile.
Have you noticed that WWE wrestlers seem to be getting injuries at an alarming rate lately?

The Chris Jericho / Rey Mysterio feud was started because Chris wants to work with Rey.

And speaking of Rey, the UK's Daily Mail says that rapper Eminem was seen in London this weekend wearing a Rey Mysterio mask while out in public shopping.
Shades of Micheal Jackson!
Well, Eminem likes superheroes and wrestling...so why not?

Gail Kim, Offically Back in the WWE

Gail Kim is officially back in the WWE.
She made her return at the SmackDown live event in Little Rock, Arkansas on March 21st teaming up with Maria to go against Michelle McCool and WWE Divas Champion Maryse.
So now I guess she WILL be in the 25 Diva Battle Royal at Wrestlemania.

HOWEVER....several sources are reporting that on the graphic promoting the 25-Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania XXV, Gail's picture has been pulled.
Are they going to try to "surprise" us?
Everyone with internet access knows Gail is back in the WWE, there's no need for a last minute announcement.
BTW, a quick check shows that Gail is still not on the Divas list at WWE.Com

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that judging from Gail's past wrestling career, having won the WWE Women's Championship on her debut match for WWE (a battle royal no less), and being the inaugural TNA Women's Knockout Champion, if Gail IS in the battle royal, she's gonna win.
Because if she wins, the next question is where will she go?
Raw or Smackdown?

Another guess here, I see her going to Smackdown at least at first.
She'll be a face, and go up against Maryse.
However, with the draft coming, she could turn heel and go after Melina just as easily.

WWE has a good wildcard here, let's see how they play it.

Eve Torres

Dancer, model, actress and professional wrestler, Eve Torres was the winner of the 2007 Diva Search.
Eve was born Eve Marie Torres on May 5, 1984 in Denver, Colorado.
She is currently working for the WWE on SmackDown, but with the draft coming that may change.

On October 29, 2007, Eve was crowned the winner of the 2007 Diva Search in Philadelphia, live on Monday Night Raw.
Soon after she got her wrestling license in the state of Kentucky (yes you have to have one of those) and started training in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).
Eve made her official debut on SmackDown on February 1, 2008 doing interviews.
After doing interviews, participating in the "Diva Competition", and being a Lumberjill in the BunnyMania match between Maria and Ashley against Beth Phoenix and Melina at WrestleMania XXIV, she finally made her in ring debut on the November 3, 2008 episode of Raw in a 16-Diva tag team match, but she never got tagged in.
In her first actual match, she lost to Michelle McCool by submission.

Eve can solve a Rubik's cube puzzle in less than five minutes.
She is trained in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and has a blue belt.
Eve appeared with Maryse and Michelle McCool in the January 2009 issue of Muscle & Fitness magazine.
Maria, Candice Michelle, and Eve were on the August 17 episode of Sunset Tan.
She also appeared on Fuse TV's Redemption Song along with Candice, Maryse, and Mickie James.

The Bella Twins

Born in San Diego, California and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, Brie and Nikki Garcia wrestled on WWE SmackDown! as the Bella Twins.
They were signed to developmental contracts by the WWE in the summer of 2007, and went straight into Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW).
They feuded with Nattie Neidhart and Victoria Crawford in a series of tag team matches and used the old school masked wrestler tactic of switching places behind the referee's back if one of them was injured.
They moved up to Smackdown and Brianna debuted as Brie Bella.
There they used a variation of the gimmick, with Nicole hiding under the ring and switching places with her sister under the ring when needed.
But one night Brie ran under the wrestling ring and was followed by Natalya and Victoria, who emerged with both Brie and Nicole.
Thus the WWE's worst kept secret was blown.

The Undertaker

What can I say about the Undertaker?
The Phenom, the Deadman, Texas Red.
One half of the Brothers of Destruction with Kane.
He has always been one of my favorite wrestlers because he combines showmanship with wrestling skill.
He gives his all in that wrestling ring.
For an example, look no further than his legendary Hell in a Cell match with Mankind.
Undefeated in Wrestlemania.
The first winner of the Royal Rumble.
He's held the USWA Unified World Heavyweight Championship, the WCWA Texas Heavyweight Championship, the WCW Tag Team Championship (with Kane), the WWF/WWE Championship (4 times), the WWF Hardcore Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship (2 times) and the WWF Tag Team Championship (6 times).
At Wrestlemania he has defeated Jimmy Snuka, Jake Roberts, Giant Gonzales, King Kong Bundy, Diesel , Sycho Sid, Kane , The Big Boss Man, Triple H, Ric Flair, The Big Show and A-Train in a handicap match, Kane, Randy Orton, Mark Henry, Batista and Edge.

And now leading into this years Wrestlemania, will his winning streak be broken?
I hope not, I'd like to see The Deadman retire undefeated.

DH Smith

Wow...you talk about a WWE Superstar with a pedigree, check out DH Smith.

In case you're wondering, the D in DH stands for his father Davey Boy Smith, and the H stands for his uncle Bruce Hart.
This young man started his wrestling training at the age of eight, and actually made his pro wrestling debut at the age of ten!
Yes, that's right, ten.
He teamed up with his cousin Ted Annis against TJ Wilson and Andrew Picarnia at a WWF house show in Calgary.
His "official" in ring debut wasn't until the ripe old age of 15 though.
The WWE tried to snag him in 2004, but Harry turned them down, wanting to attend college and wrestle in Japan first before signing.
Harry spent some time in Japan, and later at the induction of Bret Hart into the WWE Hall of Fame, he met with WWE executives and signed a developmental contract with on April 4, 2006.
He is currently in FCW working on his in ring skills and personality.

WWE Smackdown: Festus

This guy.

Not this guy.

Andrew William Hankinson was born on December 22, 1984 in Cumberland, Maryland.
He is an American professional wrestler currently working for the WWE on SmackDown under the ring name Festus.
This 6 foot 7 inch, 300 pound monster was the fake Kane back on RAW in 2006. (I think everyone pretty much hated that storyline).
Festus' current character is a mentally retarded man (How does the WWE get away with that?) .... until the bell rings to begin the match.
When the bell rings at the beginning of the match, Festus' face contorts, becoming determined and monstrous.
When the bell rings at the end of the match, Festus' face returns to normal.

WWE Smackdown, Primo Colón

Edwin C. "Eddie" Colón was born on December 21, 1982 in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Heis an American pro wrestler and actor, currently signed to WWE, wrestling on its SmackDown brand.

He is the only man in the history of wrestling to win the WWE Championship, WCW World Heavyweight Championship and the ECW World Championship, even though his ECW Title win was after the company was bought out by the WWE.

Like Andre the Giant, Big Show has acromegaly, a disease of the Endocrine System. Thankfully he underwent successful surgery in the early 1990s on his pituitary gland which halted the progress of this condition.
Big Show is billed as 7 feet tall and 441 pounds.
TWNP News has him listed at 7'1" and 400 pounds.
CelebHeights.com has him listed at 7 even.
Growtall.com has him listed as 7'2".
Either way...hes big!

Big Show has appeared in several movies, but my favorite appearance was in The Waterboy as Captain Insano.

Chuck Palumbo

Charles Ronald "Chuck" Palumbo was born June 15, 1971 in West Warwick, Rhode Island. He is an American pro wrestler, who is currently signed to WWE, wrestling on its Raw brand.

After wrestling in WCW, Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire came into the WWF on the June 28, 2001 episode of SmackDown! as part of The Alliance. Chuck and Sean dropped the WCW Tag Team Title they had won from Team Canada's Mike Awesome and Lance Storm, to The Undertaker and Kane quietly in mid-August.

Sean was sent to developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling in early September 2001, and Chuck was thrown out of The Alliance in late October by storyline co-owner of The Alliance, Stephanie McMahon after he complained he wasn't given enough air-time, so he joined the WWF in November.

After receiving the boot from The Alliance, Chuck found himself a tag team partner in Billy Gunn. The pair started as a generic babyface tandem working dark matches, but were later given a heel gimmick that saw the pair grow increasingly affectionate towards each other, showing evidence of a relationship and Palumbo became known simply as Chuck. He briefly wore his long hair in pigtails before cutting it short shortly afterwards.

On the February 21, 2002 edition of SmackDown!, Billy and Chuck defeated Tazz & Spike Dudley to win the World Tag Team Championship. They later found a "personal stylist" on March 21, 2002 in the ambiguously flamboyant then heel, Rico.

Billy and Chuck lost the tag team gold to Rikishi and Rico, who was forced to team with Rikishi on May 19, 2002 at Judgement Day. Less than a month later Rico would help Billy and Chuck recapture their titles, but this reign wouldn't last long when Billy and Chuck lost the titles to Edge and Hulk Hogan.

In the late summer of 2002, Billy and Chuck were the source of controversy when Chuck apparently proposed to Billy on September 5, 2002 edition of SmackDown! asking him to be his "partner for life". Billy and Chuck had a marriage ceremony on the 2002 season premiere of SmackDown!. Just before they tied the knot, however, they revealed that the entire ordeal was a publicity stunt. When Billy and Chuck decided not to go through with the marriage, Rico turned on them by helping Eric Bischoff and 3-Minute Warning attack the duo. Billy and Chuck both turned face and Rico subsequently jumped to Raw as the manager of 3-Minute Warning, who beat Billy and Chuck at Unforgiven 2002.

Billy Gunn was injured in early October 2002, and Chuck became a generic face, working SmackDown!'s B-show WWE Velocity for a few months using his original ring name Chuck Palumbo once again.
