Steph De Lander reportedly signs with WWE

by

In a report by PWInsider, Australian wrestler Steph De Lander has signed with WWE. De Lander started wrestling in 2017 and was trained by indie star and former two-time SHIMMER Champion Madison Eagles.

Baszler & Jax retain tag titles in controversial fashion on NXT

by

After tonight’s Women’s Tag Team Championship match on NXT, Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax are still the champions.

The storytelling was there, the action was there, but when it came to Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez getting the win it wasn’t in their favor. What caused them to lose however was controversial in nature. Kai went to sleep as she was locked into Baszler’s Kirifuda Clutch which led to the call for the match. However, Kai wasn’t the legal competitor.

Prior to this decision, Gonzalez tagged into the match. She then took out Jax who was on the ring apron but at the same time knocked the official (Aja Smith) down. With the referee unresponsive, the two went launching over the announce table leaving Baszler and Kai in the ring.

With the referee still down, Adam Pearce shows up with a RAW referee in tow to finish the match. That official, Shawn Bennett, then calls for the bell with Kai locked in the Kirifuda Clutch.

Because of this controversy, General Manager William Regal and Pearce were seen arguing later on in a conference room. Afterward, Regal made a big statement that he will be making an announcement on next week’s NXT that will change the landscape of the brand. What could this mean?!?!

What did you think of this match result? Do you think Gonzalez & Kai will end up getting a rematch? What is Regal going to announce? Leave your thoughts below.

Toni Storm battles Io Shirai for the NXT Women’s Title in two weeks

by

Toni Storm is still focused on becoming the NXT Women’s Championship and she will have a one-on-one chance against the champion on March 10.

After Shirai defeated Zoey Stark in a great match for the newcomer, Storm made her way out on the stage. She reminds Shriai that it was Mercedes Martinez that the champion pinned during their Triple Threat match at Vengeance Day and not her. With this being said, Storm feels that Shirai cannot beat her one-on-one. Shirai responds saying she will take on the challenge anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

Prior encounters between these two competitors in singles action have resulted in a DQ to Storm’s favor in January 2020. Storm also defeated Shirai at Evolution to win the second Mae Young Classic in 2018.

If Toni is able to defeat Io then she will become the second woman to have held both the NXT UK and NXT Women’s Titles. Second of course to Rhea Ripley.

Do you think Shirai’s time as champion may be over or will her reign continue in two weeks? Leave your thoughts below.
