Serena Deeb says she is one step closer to being medically cleared in new promo

Serena Deeb has shared on social media that she is one step closer to being medically cleared. In a promo, she reveals that she no longer needs a brace on her knee, an injury that she has been nursing since the beginning of the year.

In her last message where she revealed she was still dealing with a knee issue, she stated that she has heard everyone talking. Everyone who keeps saying why isn’t the AEW star on Dynamite? Why hasn’t she been utilized to her full potential. Once she is fully healed, she intends on doing just that.

In her new promo, she reveals the following:

“[With an update on my injured knee] And it is good news. I’m already able to walk. In fact, I don’t even need my knee brace anymore. Which means I am one step closer to being cleared. You know, I see a lot of self-entitlement in today’s day and age. But my question is, where is the courtesy? Where is the etiquette? The respect that this business was founded on. Where is the passion? The dedication?

Do you know what I had to do to get my break in pro wrestling? I had to shave my head on national television. Show me a woman today that would do the same thing for this business. There ain’t one. None of them are Serena Deeb. I have dedicated my entire life to professional wrestling. Do you know how long it took me to learn one thousand holds? A very, very, long time. I have put in my hours. I have paid my dues. If there were a Ph.D. in pro wrestling you better believe that I would have it by now.

So when I return it doesn’t matter who they throw in front of me. Whether it’s a Bunny. A Beast. An Alien. Or a Doctor. They will all see that there is only one professor of professional wrestling. I am Serena Deeb, the woman of a thousand holds.”

Deeb’s last match was on July 14 on AEW Dark: Elevation where she teamed up with Tay Conti to defeat Jazmin Allure and Vertvixen.

What do you think of Serena’s promo and do you think she is heading directly for the Doctor when she returns? Join the discussion below.

Nikki A.S.H. names those that she would like to “mix it up with” as a fighting champion

RAW Women’s Champion Nikki A.S.H. is throwing out a lot of names that she would love to fight as champion. Since cashing in on Charlotte Flair to win the RAW Women’s Championship on July 19, the RAW after winning the Money in the Bank briefcase, she has still had to fight off both Flair and Rhea Ripley’s advances. The three will be battling in a Triple Threat at SummerSlam on Aug. 21 with the title on the line. But who else would Nikki love to defend her title against?

Other than Flair and Ripley, who Nikki has had her championship victory surrounded by, an obvious choice may be Alexa Bliss. The two have a huge history together and have even held the Women’s Tag Team Championships twice. While talking with Bleacher Report, Nikki provided some other names which are fan favorites that are rarely or never seen in the title picture.

“We have so many female Superstars that as almost a superhero, as the Raw Women’s champion, I’ll be a fighting champion,” she said. “I’ll defend my championship against anyone and everyone. Personally, I’d love to mix it up with Mia Yim. I’d love to mix it up with Tamina. One of my favorite matches of my career was at a live event that me and Tamina had in San Diego a few years ago, so I’d love to mix it up with Tamina.

Nikki continues, “I’d love to mix it up with Naomi, Liv Morgan—so many women I’d love to do something with. Also on Raw, we have Eva Marie and Doudrop, and I know Doudrop from Scotland. That would be an amazing moment, getting to fight against her. We went to the same wrestling school in Scotland, and we’ve both had amazing journeys but very different journeys. I’d love to do that match.”

While speaking with Bleacher Report, Nikki also discusses her journey through NXT. She holds dear to one match in particular which was her Last Woman Standing Match with Asuka for the NXT Women’s Title.

“I love looking back on the last five years, and I was incredibly fortunate to be involved in these awesome stories in NXT. The Last Woman Standing match with Asuka is the match I’m most proud of in my career, so I’m so fortunate to be a part of what I was a part of in NXT. It’s been incredible for both [me and Bianca], and I’m so over the moon for Bianca as SmackDown women’s champion.

“I think everything happens for a reason, so when I look back at the last five-and-a-half years, everything has prepared me for this moment. I’m ready to represent the company in this way, and I’m honored and privileged to hold this Raw Women’s Championship.”

Nikki isn’t the first champion as of late to advocate for newer and fresh opponents in the title scene. Rhea Ripley mentioned it when she was RAW Women’s Champion and Bayley had frequently talked about challenging other opponents such as Liv Morgan while she was SmackDown Women’s Champion.

If Nikki continues as RAW Women’s Champion after SummerSlam, who would you like to see her face? Join the discussion in the comment section below.

Blair Davenport & Stevie Turner both make a statement on NXT UK

On this week’s NXT UK Blair Davenport put the entire women’s division on notice while Stevie Turner got in the champion’s face.

The show kicked off with the match between NXT UK’s newest bad girl, Davenport and Xia Brookside.

The week prior Davenport called Brookside out. Davenport said that Brookside was only in NXT UK because of her surname. The snipe resulted in a match on this week’s show.

The match started with some back-and-forth action with both laying in the offence.

Davenport took control before landing a big knee strike followed by a Kamigoye. Brookside succumbed to the strikes and was pinned for Davenport’s second victory in the promotion.

After the match, Davenport added insult to injury by planting Brookside with a Michinoku Driver.

This was a good showcase to establish Davenport as someone to be reckoned with in the NXT UK women’s division.

Following the match, an Isla Dawn vignette played showing her doing spooky things. Then backstage footage showed Nina Samuels and Amale get heated as they get into each other’s faces. This confrontation results in a match booked for next week between the two.

Another video package shows Aofie Valkyrie cursing Jinny and Joseph Conners.

Stevie Turner approaches NXT UK Women’s Champion Meiko Satomura but it is quickly reminded it was a bad idea. It seems as though Turner is stepping up to challenge the champ, which is an even worse idea.

What did you make of NXT UK? Sound off in the comments below.
