Lana pulled from TLC match and Mandy Rose returned on RAW

The last pay-per-view of the year, TLC, is this Sunday and for the red brand, they had their go-home episode of RAW tonight.

The match for that event from the RAW roster is for the Women’s Tag Team Championships between the champions, Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler vs. Asuka & Lana. At least that was the original plan heading into tonight’s RAW. Lana has now been pulled from the match due to “injury.”

In a storyline injury, Lana was taken out by who would have been her opponents, Jax & Baszler. This happened after Lana picked up the upset victory over Jax in a one-on-one match. Both Baszler and Asuka were not at ringside during the match. Once the bell rang in Lana’s favor, Asuka was attacked backstage by Baszler. Baszler then came out to the ring and between her and Jax, they sent Lana to the local medical facility.

Lana suffered an attack that targeted both her arm and her leg. Asuka was able to come out and fight off the tag champs, however, the damage was already done. It was announced shortly thereafter that Lana will no longer be able to compete on Sunday. A replacement for her has not been announced at the time of this writing.

Baszler and Jax were not done for the evening. Baszler was set to take on Dana Brooke in a singles match later on in the night. The match ended in a disqualification as Jax blatantly got involved by pushing Brooke off of the turnbuckle. The duo had plans to perhaps do to Brooke what they had done to Lana earlier.

They didn’t get very far as Brooke’s tag team partner, Mandy Rose, made her return from injury. Rose rushed to the ring with a kendo stick in hand to ward off the tag team champions. It worked well until Baszler grabbed ahold of the kendo stick and was about to use it on Rose.

Asuka then made the save and between her and Rose, they fought off Jax & Baszler. The segment ended with Asuka and Rose helping up Brooke as the tag champs headed up the ramp.

Diva Dirt will provide any updates on who will end up being Asuka’s partner at TLC if announced prior to the event.

Sasha Banks to defend her title against Carmella at TLC

The SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks has challenged Carmella for a match at the upcoming TLC pay-per-view. In a backstage interview where the women were separated during a “War of Words,” things got heated.

For weeks, Carmella has been attacking Banks from behind and saying how easy it has been to take down the champ. Last week she thought she was “calling the shots” and “giving the orders” until Banks showed up and locked her in the Bank Statement backstage. This resulted in the “separate locations” of the two women we saw this week.

Michael Cole provided the interview from the announce desk and wanted to start the interview with Carmella. Banks feels that Carmella has done enough running her mouth so The Boss wanted to speak first. Carmella mocked her by saying that she is going to say that she is “The Boss,” “The Blueprint,” and “The Standard.” Banks agreed and said she is also the SmackDown Women’s Champion.

Cole brought up that these two women go back many years as they trained at the same time in the WWE Performance Center and were in NXT at the same time. Banks says she can give Carmella her props because she is a former SmackDown Women’s Champion and the first woman to win a Money in the Bank Ladder match.

Carmella corrects Banks and says she won the first TWO Money in the Bank Ladder matches. Banks doubles down by saying that Carmella always needed someone to help her win. First the man with no chin (James Ellsworth) and then R-Truth. Mella says that she can’t help that men are obsessed with her. Banks says that there is a reason the two of them have never gone one-on-one and that is because she is out of Carmella’s league.

Carmella fires back by saying that WWE was a dream for Banks. Banks had to work so hard to get to where she is to be the very best but that makes her jealous. Jealous that Carmella just walked right in and skyrocketed to the top. She throws it in Sasha’s face that she held onto the SmackDown Women’s Title longer than all of Sasha’s title reigns combined.

Carmella says she is going to take the title and Banks challenges her saying that she has never been in the ring with a “badder bitch” than her.

This is the second woman’s match that has been announced for the upcoming TLC event. The first was announced earlier today which will see the Women’s Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler defend their titles against RAW Women’s Champion Asuka and Lana. At the time of this writing, neither women’s match has any TLC stipulations added to them. There are still two weeks to build that in.

Natalya is the only woman to have survived more than one Survivor Series match

Survivor Series is now less than a week away and like most things this year, it feels a bit different. Due to the most obvious reasons, there hasn’t been any type of “invasion” type of build-up this year. Instead, the teams are focused on their own brands. Both RAW and SmackDown have down two different ways to showcase their talent heading up to the event.

One thing both rosters have in common is they are focused around one woman on each brand. RAW’s focus is on Lana as she is the only woman who had to qualify for a spot on the team. The team itself implodes every week with the members fighting amongst each other and ending up with Lana going through the announce table by the hands of Nia Jax. SmackDown’s focus is a little different from who they are focusing on, Natalya, who hasn’t earned her spot yet.

Natalya has been involved in three different matches to try and qualify for a spot on Team SmackDown. The storyline is panning out in the aspect that she keeps getting cheated out of the win and keeps having to try and qualify for a spot every week. Her being self-proclaimed as the “Best of All Time” is infuriating her that she can’t earn her spot. The main difference between how the brands are handling the build for their teams is that the blue brand is actually putting on weekly qualifiers.

Ironically the fact that Natalya is being put in this position leads to looking into the history of women in traditional Survivor Series matches. She is the only woman out of the 33 year-long history of the event that has been last standing in a Survivor Series outing more than one time. She sits at surviving two.

The first win occurred in 2013 where she survived with Nikki Bella in the Total Divas vs. True Diva match. The second was in 2014 where she survived with her whole team in a total sweep alongside Alicia Fox, Emma, and Naomi.

Survivor Series has not been kind to the women as a whole when it comes to the historical reference of the event. For the 33 year history, there has only been a total of 10 all-women traditional matches (11 – after this year). Below is a list of the years and the survivors of each match:

  • 1987 – Jumping Bomb Angels
  • 1995 – Aja Kong
  • 2008 – Beth Phoenix (Team RAW)
  • 2009 – Melina & Mickie James (Team Mickie)
  • 2013 – Natalya & Nikki Bella (Team Total Divas)
  • 2014 – Natalya, Alicia Fox, Emma, & Naomi (Team Natalya)
  • 2016 – Bayley & Charlotte Flair (Team RAW)
  • 2017 – Asuka (Team RAW)
  • 2018 – Nia Jax (Team RAW)
  • 2019 – Candice LeRae, Rhea Ripley, & Io Shirai (Team NXT)

There was a match in 2000 which involved Chyna. She joined Billy Gunn, K-Kwik, and Road Dogg in a losing effort against The Radicalz.

Natalya also holds the most times in a Survivor Series match at six. She is followed by both Naomi and Alicia Fox with five appearances each.

This year’s match is current shaping up as follows:

Team RAW – Nia Jax, Shayna Baszler, Mandy Rose, Dana Brooke, and Lana vs. Team SmackDown -Bianca Belair, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, and two more names to be announced.

Do you think that Natalya will end up making it on Team SmackDown? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.
