Team RAW is confirmed for Survivor Series

November 18, 2019 by Nick

After a very lackluster RAW this week we finally have a complete team for the red brand for the traditional Survivor Series team. At the beginning of RAW, we found out that The IIconics weren’t on the team and that Charlotte Flair was indeed the captain.

Throughout the show, we weren’t told much about the women’s RAW Team until the advertised Asuka vs. Natalya match went underway. By the end of the match, we found out that Natalya, Asuka, and Kairi Sane will join the team.

This left one spot remaining for the team. It has now been confirmed on WWE.com that Sarah Logan will be the fifth and final member. Logan hasn’t been seen on RAW since a match against Bayley in July.

We now have a full RAW and SmackDown team and are still waiting for the NXT team to be announced which more than likely will happen this Wednesday night.

As a reminder, SmackDown’s team consists of Sasha Banks as team captain, Lacey Evans, Carmella, Dana Brooke, and Nikki Cross.

A look at Taynara’s emotional journey to NXT

November 15, 2019November 15, 2019 by Nick

WWE has posted a short video on its Performance Center YouTube account about NXT Superstar Taynara’s journey. In the video that you can view above, she comments about her judo background. She states it has always been a part of her life and it was her first passion.

She reported to WWE at their Performance Center in October 2016. She made her debut at WrestleMania Axxess in a losing effort in April 2017. Prior to joining WWE, she speaks about trying for the Brazilian Olympic Team for the Summer Olympics in 2016. Taynara starts to get emotional about losing her chance as she did not make the team.

Although she did not make the team and judo is still her first passion, she declares she fell in love with something else besides judo – wrestling.

In the conclusion of the video, her match against the debuting Santana Garrett is shown from the Nov. 6 NXT episode. She wins this match against the veteran and is shown getting emotional after her match about her gratitude, how hard she has worked, and her respect for Santana.

Leave a comment below on your thoughts on this video featuring Taynara.
