Roman Reigns Sets Incredible WrestleMania Record

Roman Reigns has cemented his status as one of the most legendary professional wrestlers in history. Since his comeback in 2020, The Tribal Chief has asserted his dominance over the competition. Now, he has accomplished an incredible feat at WrestleMania, further firming his legacy. ## In August 2020, Reigns captured the Universal Championship at Payback, dethroning The Fiend in a triple-threat match that also involved Braun Strowman. At WrestleMania 38, he went on to defeat Brock Lesnar, unifying the WWE and Universal Titles. ## Reigns recently reached a remarkable milestone, surpassing 1,000 days as champion. Just to make this moment memorable he was presented with a new championship. The Tribal Chief remains determined to break more records, and he has now become the longest-reigning champion in WWE history since the inception of WrestleMania in 1985. ## This major record was previously held by the renowned WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, whose initial reign as WWF Champion lasted an impressive 1,474 days. However, it is worth noting that only 1,041 days of Hogan's reign were within the WrestleMania era. ## Jey Uso recently challenged Roman Reigns to a match at SummerSlam during an episode of Smackdown. It remains to be seen how WWE will further develop their feud in the upcoming weeks, as Reigns' reign as champion shows no signs of coming to an end. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

Top 5 Ways To Bring Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose) Back To WWE

Jon Moxley FKA Dean Ambrose) left WWE in April 2019 after a six-year tenure with the company. Since then, he has openly expressed the reasons behind his departure, which mostly revolved around creative differences. ## During an interview on The Talk Is Jericho podcast, Chris Jericho had an insightful conversation with Moxley, where he candidly discussed his steady sense of unfulfillment when it came to his creative endeavors. Moxley expressed feeling coerced into embodying a character that didn't align with his true self, causing huge frustration due to the restricted influence he had over shaping his own narrative. ## In addition to the creative difficulties, Moxley expressed discontent with the overall course of his career in WWE. He believed that his potential was not maximized, often being utilized in a manner that fell short of his capabilities. Moxley's departure from WWE came as a surprise to many fans, yet it was evident that he had endured a lengthy period of displeasure. Subsequently, he found success in AEW. ## The question is whether WWE could potentially bring Jon Moxley into the company despite his previous conflicts with WWE and Vince McMahon. It is likely to consider the case of Moxley returning to WWE, particularly given the recent shift in creative leadership with Triple H taking a central role. This change may open the door for Moxley to consider a potential reunion with WWE. Here are potential 5 ways to bring Jon Moxley Back to WWE: ## 1. Cross-Promotion and Collaborations: ## The potential way to bring Moxley back to WWE is through cross-promotion and collaborations with other promotions. After Triple H replaced Vince McMahon as the head of the WWE, there can be more possibility of joint events or storylines with companies like AEW or NJPW, where Moxley has been active since leaving WWE. ## Tony Khan sent shockwaves through the wrestling industry with his groundbreaking AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door pay-per-view event, hailed as the most monumental cross-promotional extravaganza to date. In a recent interview, Khan astounded fans by expressing his willingness to explore a potential collaboration with WWE, the industry giant. ## The highly anticipated Forbidden Door pay-per-view brought together fervent AEW and NJPW supporters who had long yearned for an epic collision between the two revered rosters. Nevertheless, considering the vast magnitude of AEW and WWE as the preeminent wrestling promotions worldwide, could they transcend their divergences and unite for the sake of their devoted global fanbases? ## #2. A Surprising Royal Rumble Return: ## One of the most potent methods to generate high and fervor is by reintroducing Jon Moxley as an unforeseen participant in the Royal Rumble event. The wrestling community had been abuzz with excitement over the concept of the Forbidden Door, as different wrestling companies collaborate to bring about crossover matches. The latest development involves WWE, who surprised fans by announcing the participation of Mickie James, the IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts World Champion, in the Women's Royal Rumble match. ## Following this announcement, speculation had been rampant about the potential involvement of Moxley, another prominent wrestler, in this year's Men's Rumble match. Many fans speculated the possibility of his return to WWE by competing in this year's battle royal. Renee Paquette, Moxley's wife, recently addressed these rumors during an episode of her podcast, "The Sessions." She expressed her belief that fans would be absolutely ecstatic if the former champion were to make an appearance at WWE Royal Rumble. ## #3. Intriguing Storyline and Character Development: ## Another way to persuade Moxley to make a comeback, WWE must present him with a compelling narrative and grant him creative autonomy to shape his character. Triple H, renowned for his impressive methods, could collaborate closely with Moxley to construct a fascinating storyline that highlights his talents and voices his complete capabilities. ## It's astonishing how nearly a decade has passed (their 10-year debut anniversary falls on November 18!) since The Shield first wreaked havoc in the realm of WWE! Consisting of Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose, this triumvirate rose to the pinnacle of the industry, both as a collective force and as individual competitors. Presently, Roman Reigns reigns supreme as the reigning and undisputed WWE Universal Champion, while Seth Rollins continues to captivate audiences with his captivating 'Freakin' persona. As for Dean Ambrose, he bid farewell to his WWE days long ago and has now found remarkable success under the moniker Jon Moxley in AEW. Nevertheless, devising an avenue to entice him back to WWE could prove to be a valuable prospect. ## #4. Championship Opportunities: ## Championship reigns hold immense significance in the trajectory of a wrestler's career, and providing Jon Moxley with prominent championship prospects could serve as a compelling catalyst for his comeback. Triple H could present a persuasive proposition where Moxley is positioned as a formidable contender for either the WWE Championship or the Universal Championship. By portraying him as a legitimate challenger, Moxley's stature would soar, and the title he sets his sights on would acquire an enhanced sense of prestige. ## #5. Collaborations with Top Talent: ## Jon Moxley's comeback to WWE could be greatly strengthened through strategic alliances with elite talents within the roster. Triple H, with his astute acumen, may propose captivating tag team alliances or enthralling encounters against prominent WWE superstars like Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, or Roman Reigns. Such collaborations would generate a fervor, entice viewership, and infuse the WWE roster with newfound richness and diversity. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

WWE Treats Fans To Tasty Dark Matches After SmackDown On July 7, 2023

After Friday's episode of SmackDown concluded at Madison Square Garden, WWE treated the fans in attendance to some exciting dark matches. These matches provided a delightful bonus for the audience and featured some familiar encounters. ## The first post-show clash showcased Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn facing off against Pretty Deadly once again. This match was a rematch from their previous encounter on a SmackDown episode in the UK. The initial bout had received high praise, indicating that this repeat performance would likely be equally thrilling. The outcome favored Owens and Zayn, solidifying their dominance over Pretty Deadly, but this could potentially bode well for the latter team's future prospects. ## Following that, Seth Rollins stepped into the ring against Finn Bálor for another encounter. Rollins had previously emerged victorious over Bálor at Money In The Bank, and he managed to replicate his success at Madison Square Garden. Reports haven't indicated any additional tension among stable members or whether other superstars like Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio, or Rhea Ripley accompanied Finn to MSG. ## WWE usually reserves such storytelling elements for televised events rather than dark match segments. However, one can't rule out the possibility of introducing further miscommunication to maintain the ongoing storyline in front of this crucial market. In conclusion, the dark matches at Madison Square Garden provided the fans with an extra treat, showcasing exciting rematches and potentially teasing future developments. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

WWE SummerSlam 2023: Who Will Be Added To The Match Card?

While WWE has yet to officially announce any matches for this year's SummerSlam, insiders reveal that the company has an internal match card ready for the highly anticipated event. The lineup reportedly includes exciting bouts featuring top superstars such as Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey, Logan Paul, and Cody Rhodes, among others. Although the matches are set, WWE has yet to make them public. ## According to recent reports from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, eight matches are listed on the internal card as of the past weekend. While details of the matches are being kept under wraps in this article, fans can find the complete listing by following the provided link. ## Notably, the current match listing does not include prominent names such as Seth Rollins, tag team champions Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, United States champion Austin Theory, or Edge. However, these individuals are either highly likely to appear on such a significant show or at least remain potential candidates for inclusion. ## In line with recent trends, Triple H has been conscious of keeping the number of matches at major events lower than Vince McMahon did in the past. This approach aims to ensure a shorter show duration while providing more emphasis and attention to the marquee matches, ultimately preserving the crowd's enthusiasm. ## Speculation from Dave Meltzer suggests that the matches earmarked for SummerSlam could potentially be shifted to television programming at the last minute, either right before or after the event. WWE has previously adopted a similar approach with matches involving the Women's Tag Team Titles and Tag Team Titles on SmackDown. ## “We were basically told that those bouts are scheduled but there is a lot of competition to get on the show, although most of the aforementioned matches would figure to be locks," Meltzer stated this. ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
