Rousey & Baszler Return On Raw; Rhea Ripley Gives Warning To Natalya

by

For those that may have missed the May 15 episode of Raw, here is what took place.

Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler return on Raw now that they are drafted to the red brand. The team has not been seen since WrestleMania where they won the WrestleMania Showcase. Rousey has been injured prior to that match and that is what has kept them off TV since.

They made their return after one-half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Raquel Rodriguez defeated Chelsea Green. A match that was supposed to be for the gold that had to be changed last minute due to an injury that Liv Morgan suffered on SmackDown. As Rodriguez was celebrating her victory up the ramp and to the stage, Rousey appeared and kicked her followed by Baszler appearing as well.

Rousey and Baszler tell Rodriguez that they are tired of waiting for a title shot and that Rodriguez can defend the gold with or without Morgan. However, if she chooses not to defend the titles then she will continue to get the same beating week after week.

Outside of the tag team division, Becky Lynch challenged Trish Stratus for a match at Night of Champions. More on that here.

Backstage Zoey Stark continues to harass Nikki Cross until Candice LeRae appeared. The two would verbally get into it as Stark mocks LeRae’s “weirdo” family. A match between the two has been made for next week.

Lastly, as the promo ended for Lynch, we witnessed the SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley backstage watching it on the monitor. She was approached by Cathy Kelley who asked Ripley about Natalya’s addition to Raw and how she came down last week to confront her.

Natalya told Ripley that she is the most dominant woman who has ever held the SmackDown Women’s Title. And that she doesn’t need to continue to kick people when they are down like she did to Dana Brooke last week. She deserves respect which she isn’t going to get running through the division.

Ripley says that Natalya came down to the ring last week not because of Dana Brooke but because she wants everyone to care about her again. Ripley warns her if she ever interrupts her again, she isn’t going to help her career but she will end it.

Asuka Returns On SmackDown; Morgan & Rodriguez Retain

by

Asuka is back and is on her new home of SmackDown.

Asuka hasn’t been seen since her loss against Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Title at WrestleMania six weeks ago. Now she is back and still not over her loss.

Bianca Belair went to the ring for a celebration in her hometown. But before Belair could even grab a mic, the Empress was on her way to the ring. Asuka extended her hand to congratulate Belair for becoming the longest reigning woman’s champion in the modern era. Reluctant at first, Belair shook Asuka’s hand but was greeted eith the blue mist right to her face.

Belair sold the mist perfectly as officials came down to the ring to help her and keep Asuka away.

Elsewhere on SmackDown this week, the tag titles were on the line as the champs Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez defended them. Their opponents were Bayley and Dakota Kai of Damage CTRL. IYO SKY was at ringside.

The match was solid between the two teams. The final moments had Bayley instructing SKY to grab a title belt for her to use while Kai was laid out on the outside. Rodriguez caught it and played tug of war with the belt as SKY was on the ring apron. Bayley inadvertently knocked SKY off the ring apron as Rodriguez gave a boot to Kai by the timekeepers area.

Back inside Morgan took advantage as she stacked up Bayley to get the three count and retain the titles.

Throughout this match, the newest SmackDown Superstars and the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre looked on backstage.

On NXT Level Up, Kelani Jordan made her TV debut as she faced Wendy Choo in a losing effort. But an impressive debut nonetheless.

Check back in with Diva Dirt for more news and results from the women of SmackDown.

Natalya Steps Up To Rhea Ripley; Becky Lynch Returns

by

The May 8 episode of Raw had a new challenger step up to the SmackDown Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley. At first it was Dana Brooke.

In a non-title match, Ripley made short work of Brooke only after a few minutes. Brooke had some offense early on in the match but it would take a Riptide and then locking her in the Prism to make her tap out. Post-match, Ripley wasn’t done with Brooke as she landed another Riptide and locked in the Prism submission again.

Natalya’s music would hit as she made her way to the ring. She stepped up to Ripley face to face but the champion would make her way out of the ring before things got physical.

The second women’s match of the night had the Raw debut match for Zoey Stark. She had a confrontation backstage with Nikki Cross which led to the match. Stark picked up a win in her debut after delivering the Z360.

Trish Stratus had a promo after handing out “Where is Becky Lynch?” flyers back stage. The promo continued to mock Lynch with Stratus saying we are never going to see her again. Lynch’s music hits but it was just a plan by Stratus to fake out the crowd as she laughed at how gullible everybody is.

Moments later, Lynch’s music hits again much to Stratus’ confusion as that wasn’t the plan. This time Becky was back and she was behind Trish in the ring. Lynch delivered a ManHandle slam which made Stratus roll out the ring and retreat up the ramp.


Lastly, we had Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville going around backstage collecting signatures. The signatures are to have them get a tag title shot even tho that’s not what they were telling some people. Xia Li first signed it as they them approached Candice LeRae, Johnny Gargano, and Indi Hartwell.

Hartwell asked Dexter Lumis if they should sign it as he gave the thumbs down.


Later in the night, they ran into the tag team champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez. Morgan stated if they wanted to have a rematch all they had to do is ask. Regardless the champs signed the petition and said they would face them after they retain against Damage CTRL on Friday. Green and Deville laughed because they had the intent on facing Damage CTRL and not the current champions.

Damage CTRL Vows To Take The Gold; LWO vs. Judgment Day

by

In case you missed this week’s Raw, on the second and final night of the WWE Draft, Damage CTRL picks up a big victory against the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. In a non-title bout, Bayley and Dakota Kai became victorious against Raquel Rodriguez and Liv Morgan.

The match was pretty evenly throughout. At one point Kai tagged the foot of Bayley which the referee wouldn’t take as a legal tag but allowed Bayley to rake the eyes of Morgan. Morgan would eventually get the hot tag for Rodriguez. The final moments had Bayley tagging herself in as Morgan hit ObLIVion on Kai. Bayley stacks up Morgan for the victory.

The second match of the night was between the LWO including Zelina Vega, Rey Mysterio, and Santos Escobar facing Judgment Day’s Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio, and Damian Priest. Eyes were on Vega and Ripley during this match by women’s wrestling fans as they will battle for the SmackDown Women’s Title this Saturday at Backlash.

A few moments of the match included both Vega and Ripley mixing it up with the men. The match would eventually be won by the Judgment Day after Priest pinned Rey.

There was a backstage promo that gave further push for the Raw Women’s Title match at Backlash which will be the champion Bianca Belair taking on IYO SKY. As Belair was being interviewed, all of Damage CTRL entered. Belair commented that back at SummerSlam she was excited to see SKY come to the main roster as she knows was she is capable of and what she can do. But for Belair, she hasn’t seen it on the main roster. She continues to drive a wedge in Damage CTRL and trying to get SKY to believe that Bayley and Kai are holding her back.

Bayley states that with her and Kai’s win over the tag champs and with SKY facing Belair this weekend that Damage CTRL will have all of the gold.

We also got to see two Hall of Famers as Queen Sharmell and Molly Holly both helped reveal draft picks.

Kayden Carter and Katana Chance are called up from NXT to the Raw brand.

NXT Women’s Title Triple Threat Set For Spring Breakin’

by

After the April 18 episode of NXT, next week’s Spring Breakin’ is stacked and we will get to those details shortly.

First, on this weeks episode Roxanne Perez took to the ring to challenge Zoey Stark. The two had a run in last week with Stark mocking Perez. Towards the end of the match, Perez went for the Pop Rox, but Stark was able to avoid it. Stark nailed a Dragon Suplex for a near fall. Stark went for an Irish Whip on Perez, but the former NXT Women’s Champion went over Stark and hit the Pop Rox for the pinfall win.

After the match, the NXT Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell made her way to the ring. She wanted to make it official and offer Perez the next shot at the championship next week. Before they could shake on it, Tiffany Stratton’s music hit. She couldn’t seem to understand how she was passed over for another title opportunity. She claims Perez is easily beatable but Perez reminded her that she was victorious against Stratton in the break out tournament.

Hartwell agreed to defend against both women as she remains a fighting champion.

Next we had a match between Gigi Dolin and a returning Cora Jade. This was Jade’s first match back on TV since January. The final moments had Dolin on the offense but Jacy Jayne appeared for a distraction. Dolin took Jayne out over the announce table but Jayne’s appearance would take Dolin away from Jade. Jade caught Dolin back in the ring with a knee strike and hit the Death Rider for the victory.

Post match, as Jade was still in the ring, Lyra Valkyria appeared and the two finally will have their match next week.

A third match for Spring Breakin’ has been confirmed and it will be a mixed tag team bout. Fallon Henley and Josh Briggs will take on Kiana James and Brooks Jensen. Jensen with a new look is tired of Briggs and Henley holding him back.

Trish Stratus Is “Nobody’s Sidekick”; Chelsea Green & Sonya Deville Pick Up Win

by

Trish Stratus was the hottest news coming out of the April 17 episode of Raw as her heel turn is now in full effect.

Stratus started the promo by reminding fans that it was her and her alone that started the women’s revolution. Before she came in the door many years ago there was no women’s division and she made it. She corrected any thought that Lita would be included in that and admitted to be the one that took Lita out last week.

Stratus would then direct her message to Becky Lynch. She says she wanted to make sure that she was the one who made Lynch lose the tag titles. And she did just that. She was set out to prove that she is no one’s sidekick when it came to Lita and Lynch.

She ended the promo with, “I am the greatest of all time. I am the single most important figure in the history of WWE, and I’m here to make sure none of you forget it.” She dropped the mic to end the segment.

There were two women’s matches this week as the first was the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair taking on Dakota Kai. Ringside was Bayley and the number one contender IYO SKY.

Although taking Belair to her limits, Kai wasn’t able to get the victory as Belair landed the KOD to win the match. In a WWE digital exclusive, Bayley attempted to clear the air on anyone continuing to say there are issues within Damage CTRL before Kai cut her off.

Kai says she appreciates Bayley always hyping her up but she did fail against Belair. She then directed it to SKY to be the one to take the title off of her. SKY says she sees Bianca’s weakness and will beat her.

The second women’s match was the shorter of the two but it was Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville taking on Michin and Candice LeRae. The tag champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez sat at ringside. Green and Deville will be getting a title opportunity this Friday and needed a win to gain momentum. And a win they got after Green landed the Unprettier on Michin.

Nikki Cross was in the crowd, still stalking Candice.

Post-match, Green and Deville threw water in the face of the champs. On Raw Talk, Morgan gave a huge message that water is not going to make them mad as she poured more water on herself. She says to “watch us” if Green and Deville think they are taking the tag titles.

Maxxine Dupri was on as well still fighting with Chad Gable over Otis.
