Two More High Profile Matches Added To WWE SummerSlam Card

WWE's highly anticipated SummerSlam event is set to take place on August 5th at Detroit's Ford Field, promising to be the biggest party of the summer. The roster is already stacked with exciting matchups, but the organizers are not done yet. ## During a recent showdown between Becky Lynch and Zoey Stark, the stakes were high as a SummerSlam opportunity hung in the balance. If Becky emerged victorious, she would secure a match against the legendary Trish Stratus. However, if she lost, she'd have to bear a "Thank You Trish" tattoo on her body. ## In an intense battle, Becky Lynch prevailed, executing an impressive manhandle slam to seal her spot in the SummerSlam clash against Trish Stratus. Despite Trish's attempts to interfere during the match, The Man showcased her resilience and came out on top. ## As the event progressed, there was an unexpected twist when Logan Paul ambushed Ricochet during his in-ring promo. Logan accepted a match against Ricochet at SummerSlam, but just as The Maverick was belittling the live crowd, the One And Only took control of the situation. ## Here is the updated lineup: ## WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Seth “Freakin” Rollins (c) vs. Finn Bálor ## Cody Rhodes vs. Brock Lesnar ## WWE Women’s Championship: Asuka (c) vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair ## WWE Universal Title: Roman Reigns (c) (with Paul Heyman and Solo Sikoa) vs. Jey Uso ## Logan Paul vs Ricochet ## Becky Lynch vs Trish Stratus ## Ronda Rousey vs Shayns Baszler ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Charlotte Flair vs. Io Shirai Match Added To 7/21/23 WWE SmackDown At Last Minute

WWE is constantly evolving, and this dynamic nature sometimes necessitates immediate plan changes, especially when concerns about COVID-19 persist, as the pandemic is not entirely over yet. Such an instance occurred on last week's SmackDown, requiring some quick thinking from the team. ## According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, the Charlotte Flair vs. IYO Sky match on SmackDown was not originally scheduled to take place. Instead, it was hastily put together at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. ## The situation arose because a few individuals who were initially scheduled for the show couldn't appear, primarily due to COVID-related reasons. While some may not have tested positive, they were in close proximity to COVID-19, prompting adjustments to the show's lineup. As a result, Charlotte Flair's match with IYO Sky was a late replacement, as it was not part of the original plan. ## Such unexpected situations may happen again in the future, given that the card is always subject to change in WWE. The company faces the challenge of putting on live television broadcasts, where the show must go on regardless of the circumstances. Ideally, WWE hopes that any COVID-related issues do not persist, as they have various ongoing projects, and altering plans is something they aim to avoid whenever possible. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Roman Reigns Makes Rare House Show Appearance, Defeats Rey Mysterio In Mexico City

Last year, when Roman Reigns inked a fresh WWE contract, he secured a significant pay increase and successfully negotiated a reduction in his WWE schedule, primarily focusing on TV appearances and select PLE (Pay-Per-View Live Events) engagements. ## The Bloodline feud intensified dramatically at Night of Champions, where Reigns and Solo Sikoa experienced defeat at the hands of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens in their quest for the prestigious Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles. This setback occurred precisely when Jimmy Uso, betraying "The Tribal Chief," made a shocking turn. Later, at Money in the Bank, The Usos triumphed over Reigns and Sikoa in the intense Bloodline Civil War, resulting in Reigns' first pinfall loss since December 2020. ## WWE has already made an official announcement that Reigns will put his title on the line against Jey Uso at the upcoming SummerSlam event in a highly-anticipated Tribal Combat Match. ## In an unusual occurrence, Reigns made a rare appearance at a WWE house show held in Mexico City, Mexico, last Saturday night. In the marquee match, he emerged victorious against Rey Mysterio, albeit with the unwelcome intervention of NXT North American Champion, Dominik Mysterio. ## La CDMX reconoce a The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns pic.twitter.com/jq9tYVlSco— Publisport México ⚽🏎️🎾⚾🏈🏀🏇🏼🏆 (@Publisport_MX) July 23, 2023 ## Mexico City acknowledges their Tribal Chief and Roman Reigns soaking in all the Roman chants! 😏 pic.twitter.com/9dsLpHPPkw— 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲 ⸜❤︎⸝‍ ᴿᵒᵐᵃⁿ ᴿᵉⁱᵍⁿˢ 1000+ᵈᵃʸˢ (@_RomansLegacy) July 23, 2023 ## Roman Reigns is such a menace 😂 I love how much fun he has at live events!#WWEMexicoCity cr/the_backstagemx pic.twitter.com/K8or35ULaq— 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲 ⸜❤︎⸝‍ ᴿᵒᵐᵃⁿ ᴿᵉⁱᵍⁿˢ 1000+ᵈᵃʸˢ (@_RomansLegacy) July 23, 2023 ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Roman Reigns Could Surpass John Cena's WWE Record, Says Kurt Angle

While re-watching the July 4, 2005 episode of WWE Raw, Kurt Angle emphasized Cena's impressive ability to acclimate swiftly to the WWE environment. According to Angle, this adaptability was a key factor in Cena's remarkable success in the wrestling world. Angle further asserted that Cena's accomplishments and accolades have set him apart as one of the greatest WWE performers in history. ## Moreover, Angle discussed the potential of Roman Reigns, another prominent WWE superstar, surpassing John Cena's records. With Reigns currently making waves in the wrestling industry, Angle sees the possibility of him achieving even greater heights than Cena, setting new milestones and cementing his own legacy. ## "John Cena, he was maybe two or three years in the business by this time, and here he is on top. I mean, this kid picked it up very quickly, and he had arguably the best career in WWE history," said Angle. "He did win sixteen World Heavyweight Titles in WWE specifically. No one's ever done that." ## "He's going to break the record. If he doesn't skip and go to Hollywood and become a movie star, which I think he's going to do," said Angle of Roman Reigns. Transcription Via Fightful ## Kurt Angle Teases Possible Return to the Ring Against John Cena Kurt Angle, the Olympic gold medalist and 14-time world champion, has not ruled out a return to the ring despite retiring in 2019. Angle, who turns 54 this year, had double knee replacement surgery in May. He told the Wrassingh Show that he is still not feeling 100%, but he is open to the idea of one more match. ## "I don't have the itch to get back in the ring now," Angle said. "But you never know. You wait a couple years after knee replacement surgery, see how you feel, and if it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, that's okay." ## If Angle does decide to return to the ring, he said he would like his last match to be against John Cena. ## "John, I still think he's possibly still in his prime," Angle said. "I would definitely say John Cena. The reason for that is, I'm 53 years old, I'm not the same athlete I was when I was 33. When I decided to retire, it was because I lost a step and I didn't want the fans to remember me as the person who was in the ring when I returned to WWE. I wanted them to remember me as the person who was in his prime who was literally the best wrestler in the world. Knowing that John is still in his prime, I know he can carry me through a match." ## Angle's retirement match at WrestleMania 35 was against Baron Corbin, and it was not well-received by fans. If Angle does return to the ring, he will be looking for a match that will be more fitting for his legacy. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

United States Championship Invitational Finals Set For Next Week's SmackDown?

The highly anticipated United States Championship Invitational finals are set to conclude on next week's episode of WWE SmackDown, following several weeks of building up a formidable challenger to take on the reigning US Champion, Austin Theory. ## During the latest SmackDown, Rey Mysterio emerged victorious in a thrilling four-way match, showcasing his skills by overcoming tough competition from LA Knight, Sheamus, and Cameron Grimes. Mysterio secured the win by pinning Grimes, securing his spot in the Invitational finals. ## Next week, Mysterio is scheduled to face fellow LWO (Latino World Order) member Santos Escobar in what promises to be an epic encounter. The winner of this clash will earn the prestigious opportunity to challenge for a secondary title on the blue brand. ## Fans have been speculating about the timing of the title match, pondering whether WWE will feature it on an episode of SmackDown, possibly the one airing on August 4th, or if it will be booked for the SummerSlam PLE card on August 5th, which already boasts nine exciting matches. According to Dave Meltzer's report in Friday's Daily Update on F4Wonline.com, the plan currently is for Theory to defend his title against the winner of the Invitational on a future episode of SmackDown. ## In the past, WWE has often scheduled title matches on SmackDown the night before a PLE, and it's plausible that this title bout could follow a similar pattern, adding to the excitement and anticipation leading up to the major event. Regardless of the timing, WWE will undoubtedly deliver an electrifying showdown, showcasing the incredible talents of the competitors involved. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso Set For WWE SummerSlam

At SummerSlam, the spotlight will be on "Main Event" Jey Uso as he sets his sights on dethroning the undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, who is considered the most dominant champion of the modern era. ## During WWE Money in the Bank, Reigns and Solo Sikoa faced defeat at the hands of The Usos in an intense encounter known as The Bloodline Civil War. Jey made history by becoming the first Superstar to pin The Head of the Table since WWE TLC 2019! ## Following this monumental showdown, Reigns had to face Tribal Court live from SmackDown at the iconic Madison Square Garden. However, he cunningly set a trap, and with the help of Sikoa, they took down both Usos and Jimmy had to be carried out of the arena in an ambulance. ## The story between Jey and Reigns is incredibly complex. After their Universal Championship battle in 2020, Jey joined forces with The Head of the Table and immediately elevated his game. With the return of Jimmy, The Usos became a force to be reckoned with, reinforcing the dominance of The Bloodline every week. They held the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships and played a crucial role in Reigns' successful title defenses. ## But, due to Reigns' abusive behavior, Jey and Jimmy eventually parted ways and dismantled the once powerful faction. On the night Jimmy got taken out of The World's Most Famous Arena, Jey made a dramatic return by ambushing Reigns and his younger brother Solo with a steel chair. He then issued a challenge to his cousin for a title match. In Roman's absence the following week, Jey executed another vicious attack, this time targeting Solo and Special Counsel Paul Heyman. ## On the recent episode of SmackDown, which aired on July 21, 2023, the match was officially set, with Reigns seemingly putting his Tribal Chiefdom on the line as well. ## Here is the updated lineup: ## WWE SummerSlam 2023 Updated Lineup ## -WWE Women's Champion Asuka vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair (Triple Threat Match) ## -World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Finn Bálor ## -Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns vs. Jey Uso ## -World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Finn Bálor ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Road Dogg: WWE Made The Right Call By Waiting To Turn Roman Reigns Heel

The impressive transformation of Roman Reigns' character over the years has been much documented. He went from being a rather uninspiring babyface to becoming one of the most stunning heels in the WWE. However, some now argue that WWE might have waited too long to turn Reigns into a villain. ## During his babyface run, Roman Reigns received criticism from both fans and fellow wrestlers, despite participating in high-profile matches against top talent. ## The decision to eventually turn Roman Reigns heel is widely regarded as one of the best moves made by WWE in the past decade. Nevertheless, there are those who feel that the company could have made this change earlier, particularly as far back as 2015. ## In the latest episode of Oh...You Didn't Know, Road Dogg shared his thoughts on Roman Reigns' growth in WWE. According to him, he believes that the company should not have turned Reigns into a villain any sooner than they did. ## “No, I don’t think so. You gotta let stuff sit, you gotta let stuff simmer. I know that’s unpopular in today’s day and age, where I can get whatever I want, and I can get it right now. Sometimes you gotta sit on this, and see which way the wind blows. Boy, it blew in the right direction, because look [at] where we stand now, and where he stands now — as an individual and superstar. ## People hated him, they hated him. They hate him now, and yet everybody in the soldout arena, of which there are a lot of them now, acknowledges him on the weekly. They listen to his every word, they are hanging on his every word, and every facial [expression] in these in-ring promos.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Bayley Goes Down With Knee Injury In Live Event, WWE Awaits Test Results

During a WWE live event in Salisbury, MD on Sunday night, Bayley suffered an unfortunate injury in a 4-way match also involving Charlotte Flair, Women's World Champion Asuka, and Bianca Belair. ## The incident occurred when Asuka fell down, causing Bayley to seemingly halt her movement to avoid running into her, resulting in her own fall. Interestingly, this was a non-contact injury. Bayley clutched her knee, prompting the referee to signal for medical assistance by raising the "X" sign. Consequently, the match was abruptly concluded, and they swiftly proceeded to the finish. ## During a Q&A session, Mike Johnson of Pwinsider mentioned that WWE is awaiting the results of medical tests before making any decisions regarding the appropriate course of action for Bayley's injury. ## Johnson wrote, “I was told that they were waiting to get some medical tests back so they could properly diagnose and decide on a course of action. I would hope the fact she walked out of the arena that night under her own power, even limping, is a good sign.” ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
