Shotzi & Rodriguez Gain Momentum Heading Into Fatal Four Way Tag Title Match

by

Raquel Rodriguez is getting acclimated to her new tag partner in Shotzi.

Since having to vacate the tag titles due to Liv Morgan’s injury, Rodriguez had to find a new tag team parneter. She will get a chance to win the tag team belts back with Shotzi on this coming Monday’s Raw. It will be a Fatal Four way that also includea Damage CTRL, Sonya Deville & Cheslea Green, and Shayna Baszler & Ronda Rousey.

Before they get to Monday however, Rodriguez and Shotzi had to take on Damage CTRL’s Bayley and IYO SKY. The final moments of the match had Bayley go for a sunset flip on Rodriguez but couldn’t get her over. SKY, who was on the top rope, backdropped on Shotzi. However Rodriguez was able to pin Bayley picking up the win.

As Night of Champions is set for tomorrow, the Raw Women’s Champion addressed her opponent Asuka. Belair stated the Asuka she knew at WrestleMania she respected. But this Asuka? She does not. She was not happy about Asuka interrupting her home championship celebration a few weeks ago. Asuka’s music would hit and she would emerge from behind Belair in the ring

Asuka locked in an arm bar and wouldn’t release until officials had to come out and break it up. The women broke free and Belair went for the KOD but Asuka landed on the officials. She quickly rolled out of the ring and laughed as she exited up the ramp.


Diva Dirt will have a Night of Champions Discussion Post ready to go at 1 PM ET on Saturday.

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.

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.

Rhea Ripley Victorious Over Bayley; Carmella Misses Raw; Asuka Finally Attacks Belair

by

On the March 20 episode of Raw, we witnessed a couple of matches from the women as we are just two weeks out from WrestleMania 39.

The Royal Rumble winner Rhea Ripley who will face Charlotte Flair at the big event went to the ring to cut a promo. She promises to defeat Flair at Mania and become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion. Her promo was interrupted by Damage CTRL who heckled her and let her know that Raw belongs to them. This led to a match between Ripley and Bayley. In this match, Ripley would have to take the babyface role despite her current character.

Once Bayley was able to maintain some offense and take control of the match, the Women’s Tag Team Champions Becky Lynch and Lita along with Trish Stratus make their way out to the ring. Lynch with a giant bag of popcorn just to witness the match. This distracts Bayley severely despite having both Dakota Kai and IYO SKY at ringside. The trio who arrived were able to keep the rest of Damage CTRL at bay long enough for Ripley to hit the Riptide and get the big win over Bayley keeping her looking strong for Mania.

A backstage segment took place between WWE’s resident Karen, Chelsea Green with Adam Pearce. Pearce was attempting to explain the WrestleMania Showcase matches when Green approached him. Green let Pearce know that for whatever reason, Carmella was not present for their tag team match tonight. This led Green to take matters in her own hands and wanted Piper Niven as her partner who was with her. Green states that if Pearce doesn’t allow this to happen she will go to the manager. Niven replaces Carmella in the tag team match.

That match was against the Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair and her WrestleMania opponent Asuka. Yes, they did the “can they co-exist match.” It turns out they were able to co-exist as Belair and Asuka would pick up the win after Belair pinned Niven after a KOD.

Post match, Asuka finally attacked Belair for the first time since their “rivalry” started. This left the Raw Women’s Champion laid out in the the ring to end the segment.

The fight between Otis or Otise continues to go between Maxxine Dupri and Chad Gable. Otis would accompany Gable to ringside for his match, however, Dupri would come out to take Otise away from the ringside area.

Lita & Becky Lynch Crowned NEW Women’s Tag Team Champions, Trish Stratus Returns

by

We have new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions just five weeks before WrestleMania 39!

And if you asked me who that would be even a month ago, I wouldn’t be able to even fathom that it is WWE Hall of Famer Lita and Becky Lynch! Lita and Becky Lynch defeated Damage CTRL (Dakota Kai and IYO SKY) in the main event of the Feb. 27 episode of Raw to become champions. This ends Damage CTRL’s reign at 115 days and this is the first time both Lita and Lynch have won tag team gold.

This is Lita’s first championship since 2006.

If this wasn’t enough, fellow Hall of Famer and bestie of Lita, Trish Stratus made her return. She would come out in the last few minutes of the match as Bayley was doing everything she can to try and have Damage CTRL retain. Stratus came out and targeted Bayley. The final moments of the match had Lita going up top for a Litasault but Bayley hopped up on the apron to stop her. This led to Stratus pulling down Bayley. Kai on the other side tried to stop Lita as well but was taken down by Lynch. Lita was able to execute her Litasault on SKY and get the three-count crowning new champions.

Lita, Lynch, and Stratus celebrate in the ring as pyro goes off to end the show.

There were two other women’s matches on this week’s Raw.

Piper Niven took on Candice LeRae. LeRae made her way out to the ring with Nikki Cross creeping behind her. Cross stayed at ringside for the match. This match didn’t get as much time as the other two women’s matches but progressed the storyline a bit with Cross being taken out by Niven when she tried to get involved. This caused too much of a distraction for Niven so LeRae picked up the victory. LeRae rushed to the back after the match without Cross who was laid out at ringside.

Asuka also took on Carmella this week and for the first time in a singles match, Asuka has been able to defeat Carmella. This match was given a nice bit of time and was a solid match – giving Carmella a lot of offense. Unfortunately for Mella, she wasn’t able to break out of the armbar submission that Asuka has been using to take out all of her opponents since returning at the Royal Rumble.

Post-match, Asuka called out Bianca Belair. Belair responded and made her way to the ring. However, the talk between the two didn’t last long as Carmella would attack Asuka from behind, pushing her into Belair and knocking them both down.

Moments later, we see that Chelsea Green was in Adam Pearce’s office. She was complaining that she was sent to Ottawa, Illinois last week instead of Ottawa, Canada. She asked Pearce how she was supposed to know there was an Ottawa, Canada, but Pearce reminded her that she is from Canada. Carmella would come in to interrupt.

Pearce received a phone call he had to take but told Carmella that she would face Belair next week. Then, Carmella and Chelsea introduced themselves to one another. Both seemed to vibe with one another and liked each other’s style.

Maxxine Dupri continues to scout Otis. Backstage, Dupri told Otis that he needs to get a match and she would be at ringside for him. He got a match against Johnny Gargano, but would end up losing the match after Dexter Lumis appeared to take care of Maximum Male Models who were trying to take out Gargano at ringside.

Lita Returns To Raw, Helps Lynch Defeat Bayley In Steel Cage

by

Fans finally got the steel cage match between Becky Lynch and Bayley on the Feb. 6 episode of Raw. And what made it better was it being in the main event where it belongs. The match would end with Lynch victorious after delivering a ManHandle Slam, however, she did get some help. Some help from a Hall of Famer – Lita.

The final moments of the match had Bayley trying to win by escaping the cage. She climbed to the top but Lynch followed her. Lynch tried locking in the DisarmHer on the top of the cage but couldn’t get all of it. Bayley fell down the cage inside the ring to the mat.

With Lynch still at the top of the cage, IYO SKY climbed up and traded blows with Lynch. This continued until she was able to get Lynch back down to the ring. SKY wasn’t able to get back down the cage before Lita’s music hit. She ran down to the ring, pulled SKY off the cage before making sure Dakota Kai wasn’t an issue either. She then slammed the steel cage door on Bayley allowing Lynch to hit her finisher for the win.

From one Hall of Famer to another, we now know that Beth Phoenix will team with Edge to face Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor at Elimination Chamber.

Bayley Comments On Steel Cage Match Being Cut From Raw

by

Many women’s wrestling fans were not happy by the middle of the Raw XXX episode which took place on Jan. 23. If it wasn’t for the lack of women’s legends to celebrate 30 years of Raw, it was the advertised match between Bayley and Becky Lynch inside of a steel cage did not happen. What ended up taking place was Damage CTRL attacking Lynch inside the cage before making their escape.

According to a report from Fightful Select after this occurrence, it was reported that the opening segment of the Trial of Sami Zayn with the Bloodline ran too long which caused other parts of the show (primarily the women’s steel cage match) to be trimmed.

In an interview with Ariel Helwani over Royal Rumble weekend for BT Sports, Bayley spoke about how she felt about the situation. The clip above was originally posted on the WWE on BT Sports Twitter account but has since been deleted.

“I felt good. I honestly think it put our story in a whole different place. I think it did a lot for Damage CTRL. So I’m super happy with it.”

She continues to say that she is not bummed about the match being cut and was asked if she saw the support of the fans online.

“I did, which is cool. They have our backs and stuff, but I don’t want them to think that women’s wrestling is moving backward or that we’re not seen in the same light as Roman Reigns or anybody like that. We are very appreciated backstage, we’re treated super well, and we are a part of big conversations when it comes to big stories, big matches, big premium live events. We’re in conversations with that. I don’t want the fans to get the wrong idea with what happened. It was just what happened, happened. We’re going to make the best of it and they’re going to see how it made everything so much bigger and better.”

In conjunction with what took place at Raw XXX, the Bella Twins who were originally advertised but could not attend spoke about the lack of women’s representation. You can read about Nikki Bella’s comments here and also watch what they had to say on Tamron Hall below.

Alexa Bliss Is The Face Of Evil; Two More Names Added To The Rumble

by

The Jan. 9 episode of Raw had Alexa Bliss explaining her actions against Bianca Belair last week plus two women’s matches take place.

First, Bliss had her segment as she stepped on top of the commentary desk. She took to the mic to address what took place last week. Commentary confirmed that Belair walked away from what took place with just some stitches.

Bliss started by saying that Belair may be the Raw Women’s Champion but it would be Bliss that is the only one here. She says once she busted Belair’s face open she decided to go run and hide. This confirms that Belair doesn’t need to be afraid of Bray Wyatt or Uncle Howdy, she is only afraid of Bliss. Why is this? Because Bliss is the face of evil and she doesn’t feel bad about what she did because she hasn’t felt this good in a really long time.

Bliss adds that she has finally taken control and she has the whole world in her hands and she isn’t afraid to use her hands to tear more scars into Belair’s face and take the Raw Women’s Championship from her.

After claiming that she would become champion, Bliss was interrupted by a shot of a playground and flash of images from her past time as evil Alexa. Uncle Howdy would then appear and make his way out on stage. The segment then went to a commercial break and as we come back we did not see Bliss or Howdy but instead moved on to the first women’s match of the night.

The first of two women’s matches was Michin taking on Bayley. Last week, Michin had Becky Lynch’s back against Damage CTRL and served as her tag team partner. This week, Lynch was not present which allowed Bayley to get into the head of Michin.

The match came down to an exchange in the corner leading up to a backslide by Bayley. The pin was assisted with Bayley’s foot on the ropes that the referee never saw. A three count gave Bayley the victory leaving Michin visibly upset in the ring.

Later in the night, Damage CTRL were having an interview when Michin came up to address the cheating victory. All three members attacked Michin showing how Lynch is nowhere to be seen when Michin really needed her.

Next up we have Candice LeRae being interviewed backstage. Nikki Cross is spying on her for about the 9th week in a row and we still don’t know why. LeRae provides an update on Johnny Gargano stating that he is out with an injury. She was then asked what is next for her and she commented on the Royal Rumble essentially stating that she intends on being in the Rumble.

Rhea Ripley would interrupt her and laughs at LeRae’s statement of a potential Rumble victory. After calling her delusional, LeRae states that she has just a good of a chance to win the Rumble as Ripley does. The two decide to take things to the next level and have a match.

The match came down to an attack from Ripley on LeRae on the outside. As LeRae attempted a cross body she was caught by Ripley who would then toss her into the barricae multiple times and even apply the triangle submission. Once back in the ring, Ripley set up LeRae for the Riptide to get the victory.

Royal Rumble participants confirmed –

  • Liv Morgan
  • Candice LeRae
  • Rhea Ripley
