Serena Deeb says she is one step closer to being medically cleared in new promo

by

Serena Deeb has shared on social media that she is one step closer to being medically cleared. In a promo, she reveals that she no longer needs a brace on her knee, an injury that she has been nursing since the beginning of the year.

In her last message where she revealed she was still dealing with a knee issue, she stated that she has heard everyone talking. Everyone who keeps saying why isn’t the AEW star on Dynamite? Why hasn’t she been utilized to her full potential. Once she is fully healed, she intends on doing just that.

In her new promo, she reveals the following:

“[With an update on my injured knee] And it is good news. I’m already able to walk. In fact, I don’t even need my knee brace anymore. Which means I am one step closer to being cleared. You know, I see a lot of self-entitlement in today’s day and age. But my question is, where is the courtesy? Where is the etiquette? The respect that this business was founded on. Where is the passion? The dedication?

Do you know what I had to do to get my break in pro wrestling? I had to shave my head on national television. Show me a woman today that would do the same thing for this business. There ain’t one. None of them are Serena Deeb. I have dedicated my entire life to professional wrestling. Do you know how long it took me to learn one thousand holds? A very, very, long time. I have put in my hours. I have paid my dues. If there were a Ph.D. in pro wrestling you better believe that I would have it by now.

So when I return it doesn’t matter who they throw in front of me. Whether it’s a Bunny. A Beast. An Alien. Or a Doctor. They will all see that there is only one professor of professional wrestling. I am Serena Deeb, the woman of a thousand holds.”

Deeb’s last match was on July 14 on AEW Dark: Elevation where she teamed up with Tay Conti to defeat Jazmin Allure and Vertvixen.

What do you think of Serena’s promo and do you think she is heading directly for the Doctor when she returns? Join the discussion below.

Nikki A.S.H. names those that she would like to “mix it up with” as a fighting champion

by

RAW Women’s Champion Nikki A.S.H. is throwing out a lot of names that she would love to fight as champion. Since cashing in on Charlotte Flair to win the RAW Women’s Championship on July 19, the RAW after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase, she has still had to fight off both Flair and Rhea Ripley’s advances. The three will be battling in a Triple Threat at SummerSlam on Aug. 21 with the title on the line. But who else would Nikki love to defend her title against?

Other than Flair and Ripley, who Nikki has had her championship victory surrounded by, an obvious choice may be Alexa Bliss. The two have a huge history together and have even held the Women’s Tag Team Championships twice. While talking with Bleacher Report, Nikki provided some other names which are fan favorites that are rarely or never seen in the title picture.

“We have so many female Superstars that as almost a superhero, as the Raw Women’s champion, I’ll be a fighting champion,” she said. “I’ll defend my championship against anyone and everyone. Personally, I’d love to mix it up with Mia Yim. I’d love to mix it up with Tamina. One of my favorite matches of my career was at a live event that me and Tamina had in San Diego a few years ago, so I’d love to mix it up with Tamina.

Nikki continues, “I’d love to mix it up with Naomi, Liv Morgan—so many women I’d love to do something with. Also on Raw, we have Eva Marie and Doudrop, and I know Doudrop from Scotland. That would be an amazing moment, getting to fight against her. We went to the same wrestling school in Scotland, and we’ve both had amazing journeys but very different journeys. I’d love to do that match.”

While speaking with Bleacher Report, Nikki also discusses her journey through NXT. She holds dear to one match in particular which was her Last Woman Standing Match with Asuka for the NXT Women’s Title.

“I love looking back on the last five years, and I was incredibly fortunate to be involved in these awesome stories in NXT. The Last Woman Standing match with Asuka is the match I’m most proud of in my career, so I’m so fortunate to be a part of what I was a part of in NXT. It’s been incredible for both [me and Bianca], and I’m so over the moon for Bianca as SmackDown women’s champion.

“I think everything happens for a reason, so when I look back at the last five-and-a-half years, everything has prepared me for this moment. I’m ready to represent the company in this way, and I’m honored and privileged to hold this Raw Women’s Championship.”

Nikki isn’t the first champion as of late to advocate for newer and fresh opponents in the title scene. Rhea Ripley mentioned it when she was RAW Women’s Champion and Bayley had frequently talked about challenging other opponents such as Liv Morgan while she was SmackDown Women’s Champion.

If Nikki continues as RAW Women’s Champion after SummerSlam, who would you like to see her face? Join the discussion in the comment section below.

Nikki A.S.H. speaks on the detractors to her current character and who would be in her Superhero stable

by

The RAW Women’s Champion Nikki A.S.H. is having a great few weeks so far as champion. On this week’s RAW, she picked up a big win in a No Holds Barred match against Charlotte Flair in the main event. Despite being a champion and in the main event scene she still has some doubters.

Over the weekend, Nikki spoke with DS Shin from Ring the Belle. She had a message to those that may not be sold by her character right now. “It might just take little time to warm up.”

“When we approached this and when we came up with this, we put a lot of thought and love and a lot of time and energy into this. For me, I’m so happy to spread this message, and I’m so happy to show this character because it’s something I’m so proud of and satisfied with, and feel really fulfilled with. So for me, for the fans who are still warming up to it, that’s okay. That’s the joy of coming to a WWE event. That’s the joy of tuning into Monday Night Raw every week. You can resonate with the message, and it might be something you resonate with right away. Or it might just take a little time to warm up.”

Nikki is far from the first woman to fashion a cape in the WWE or in wrestling in general. She was asked who she would love to have in a Superhero stable.

TO THE NIKKIMOBILE!

“Mighty Molly and Super Stacy. I think we would be a formidable team. We also have the Hurricane. We have Shane Helms, the Hurricane Helms overseeing us. With Hurricane, Super Stacy, Mighty Molly, I think we would be quite a trio in the women’s tag division. I’m ready, let’s go. Let’s get in the Nikkimobile!”

As already mentioned, Nikki recently became RAW Women’s Champion. The night after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase, Nikki cashed in on newly crowned champion Charlotte Flair. The two along with Rhea Ripley are geared for a Triple Threat coming up at SummerSlam. DS asked Nikki what she did after she won the championship.

“My husband was on Facetime and I called, you know, my mom and my family. It was just so wonderful. Because of the time difference in Scotland, it was the middle of the night you know. So I’m calling my sister and my mom and tears were in my eyes. But I was also so happy, so they were happy. Joyful tears. I was just over the moon.”

Nikki talks about being back in Chicago and in front of the fans again for the first time in a long time. She speaks highly of the city as she worked many shows for the SHIMMER promotion before joining WWE. She speaks on the evolution of her gimmicks starting from her time in SHIMMER all the way to being Almost a Superhero.

“For me, there’s always a part of me in every stage. I think if you’ve been on this journey with me. Whether it was in SHIMMER at the Berwyn Eagles Club coming to cheer me or boo me, and then the NXT Nikki, and then the Nikki that was a tag team with Alexa, and then Nikki when me and Alexa parted. And then you’ve got now. And I think it’s all been different parts and different layers of the personality. We’ve just spent the last five years exploring that, developing that. So I think if you’ve been on the ride with me, and this roller coaster ride with me, buckle up! Because we’re about to go to even more amazing heights.”

No matter what Nikki is doing she always continues to have a smile on her face and her fans are loving it.

Vanessa Borne shows interest in taking part in NWA Empowerrr

by

Former NXT Superstar Vanessa Borne, real name Danielle Kamela, has shown interest in appearing for NWA Empowerrr. The all-women’s event is geared to take place on Aug. 28 and names are starting to be revealed on who will take part in the event.

Mickie James who is spearheading the event has also added on some incredible women to help her produce the event such as Gail Kim, Madusa, Jazz, and LuFisto. James has announced a lot of potential for the card so far that includes:

Women’s Invitational Tournament

Return of the NWA Women’s Tag Team Championships

Deonna Purrazzo will be defending her IMPACT Knockouts Championship

Kamille will be facing the winner of either The Bunny vs. Leyla Hirsch with her NWA Women’s World Championship on the line

While taking part in a signing at East Coast Autograph Auctions, Kamela had the following to say about her interest to appear for Empowerrr.

“I have and I think what Mickie [James] is doing is really amazing. I think what they’re [NWA] doing with the all-women’s pay-per-view is really cool and I never got to be a part of Evolution so I think — to think about competing in an all-women’s tournament like that is exciting and yeah, I would definitely consider doing that.” [h/t – Post Wrestling]

Kamela also spoke highly on many talents she worked with while in WWE. She held Kairi Sane, Mia Yim, Dakota Kai, and Serena Deeb in high regard.

“Oh man, there are a lot [of people I liked working with in NXT]. I loved working with Kairi [Sane] because I thought we could always tell the best stories and they were the most fun. She was willing to be playful but serious. I loved working with Kairi, Dakota Kai, always loved working with her. I thought we had really good matches and chemistry. There’s so many, I can’t — there’s no one I didn’t like not working with in NXT because they all brought something different but I would say that Kairi was one of my favorites, Dakota was one of my favorites, Mia [Yim], I had a few matches with Mia that I really enjoyed so, there’s so many great girls there that are so much fun to work with and they all bring something different and unique.”

“This picture is from the Mae Young Classic when I wrestled Serena Deeb and that was — actually that probably was my favorite match within NXT or you know, that umbrella because I think Serena is one of the best and this was when I was new in my career and she really just kind of helped me throughout that whole process of planning a match so I would have to say Serena Deeb is another one of my favorite competitors.”
