Shotzi Builds Momentum With A Win On SmackDown

Shotzi battled Shayna Baszler on the Nov. 18 episode of SmackDown just over one week away from her SmackDown Women’s Championship Match against the champ Ronda Rousey. Shotzi will challenge Rousey at Survivor Series WarGames but she had to get revenge on Baszler first after taking her out last week.

The match had a very 2-on-1 feeling as Rousey would cause distractions on numerous occasions. Every time that Shotzi would get some momentum against Baszler, Rousey was there to make sure it didn’t happen again.

Eventually, Raquel Rodriguez’s music would hit and she would make her way down to the ring to support Shotzi. This distracted Baszler while she was setting up Shotzi’s arm to stomp on. Shotzi would counter and stack up Baszler to get the victory. Shotzi and Rodriguez celebrated after the match.

Next week, a tag team match is booked as Shotzi and Rodriguez will be taking on Baszler and Rousey.

Elsewhere on SmackDown, Emma was giving a pep talk to Madcap Moss backstage before his match against Karrion Kross. Moss wanted some retribution against Kross after his loss to him recently. Scarlett would of course accompany Kross to the ring.

Scarlett’s presence throughout the match including a slap to Moss’ face would do him no favors. Kross would eventually cause Moss to go to sleep again in the Kross Jacket. Emma would rush to the ring after the match to be by the side of Moss.

On NXT Level Up, Dani Palmer had her TV debut. She faced Thea Hail in a losing effort.

Survivor Series WarGames Takes Shape; Nikki Cross Wins 24/7 Title

WARGAMES!

Now that Crown Jewel is over, Survivor Series hosting WarGames is the next and reportedly last premium live event of the year. On the Nov. 7 episode of Raw, the field for the women’s WarGames starts to take shape. We already know from the Survivor Series video that the match will be five-on-five. With a total of 10 women in the match we know of seven confirmed names.

The Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair along with Alexa Bliss and Asuka first entered the ring to address what took place at Crown Jewel. Belair was the last woman standing to retain her championship, however, Bliss and Asuka’s reign as tag team champs was left extremely short when Damage CTRL took back the gold.

Damage CTRL would interrupt Belair, Bliss, and Asuka. The two teams would trade words including an argument between Asuka and IYO SKY in Japanese. Bliss would also add that the only reason why Dakota Kai and SKY won the gold back was because of Nikki Cross. The six women would erupt into a brawl before Belair confirmed that they will end this once and for all in WarGames.

Cross would then enter the ring and give the numbers advantage to Damage CTRL as they laid out Belair, Bliss, and Asuka to end the segment.

Later in the night, Cross was seen backstage with Damage CTRL seemingly joining them as the fourth member of their WarGames team. She took on Dana Brooke for the 24/7 Championship and captured the title. With Brooke left in the ring, Bayley would place the championship belt on the shoulder of Cross as the four walked up the ramp.

Moments later, Cross was seen walking with Damage CTRL as she tossed the 24/7 Championship in the trash can (well it fell down next to the trash can).

Also on this week’s Raw, Mia Yim returned and joined The O.C. to combat Rhea Ripley and The Judgment Day. More on that can be read here.

There were separate backstage interviews from The O.C. and The Judgment Day separately about Yim’s return. After Ripley was done with her interview, she ran into Belair on her way to the ring. They shared glances with Ripley acknowledging Belair as champ.
