A TNA Star who has not been booked for tonight’s NXT No Mercy show is reportedly backstage in Denver, Colorado.

According to a new report from PWInsider, Trey Miguel is backstage at the show. It is not confirmed if he will be appearing on the show, but he was of course a member of The Rascalz alongside Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz previously, so it would make sense for him to show up during their match.

A top TNA star has confirmed they will bring their championship title to the NXT No Mercy 2024 Premium Live Event (PLE). This crossover event marks a significant moment in the ongoing relationship between WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling, bringing a unique twist to the anticipated event.

Zachary Wentz to Appear at NXT No Mercy

Zachary Wentz recently emerged victorious at the TNA Emergence pay-per-view. Competing in the Ultimate X match, Wentz defeated several top tier opponents, including Speedball Mike Bailey, Jason Hotch, Hammerstone, Laredo Kid, and NXT’s Riley Osborne, to claim the TNA X-Division Championship in an Ultimate X match. This victory has set the stage for an exciting appearance at the WWE NXT No Mercy 2024 event.

Wentz Confirms Title Appearance

Ahead of the WWE NXT No Mercy PLE, Zachary Wentz took to X to confirm that he would be bringing his newly won X-Division Championship with him to the event.

What This Means for WWE and TNA’s Relationship

The inclusion of TNA wrestlers in WWE NXT events has been a significant development in the relationship between the two promotions over the past few months, and having the X-Division Championship on the show is another bizarre moment for fans who remember when WWE and TNA’s relationship was not quite so cordial in the mid to late 2000s.

Wes Lee Claims That Zachary Wentz Has To “Prove” He Deserves To Be Back in NXT

In a recent interview with The Ringer, Wes Lee shared his thoughts on his upcoming match against Zachary Wentz at NXT: No Mercy 2024, highlighting the significance of the bout and what it means for Wentz’s return to NXT.

Wes Lee Sets the Stage for No Mercy 2024

Wes Lee has set high expectations for his match against Zachary Wentz, who is returning to an NXT PLE following his firing back in April 2022.

Lee emphasized that this match, set to take place at No Mercy 2024 in Denver, Colorado, is the only non-title match on the card, underscoring its unique importance.

Lee’s Thoughts on the Match

When discussing the upcoming match, Wes Lee was confident and clear about his position.

“I’m not saying that I’m above a championship or anything like that because I’m still striving to achieve and acquire those championships, but I’m a superstar. I am a star. I don’t need a championship in order for me to be seen as such,” Lee stated.

Lee continued by expressing that Zachary Wentz should feel fortunate to have this opportunity. “Wentz should be so lucky to be in the match with me, to be even getting the rub that he is. But I also know that he has something to prove,” he added.

Rhea Ripley has recently sparked interest by commenting on the possibility of facing Dominik Mysterio in an intergender match. The speculation about this match has been growing, especially after recent developments their ongoing storyline.

Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio: A Heated Rivalry

Following their split at WWE SummerSlam in Cleveland, the Dom and Mami have of course found themselves on opposing sides. Dominik has aligned himself with Liv Morgan, while Ripley has been seeking revenge on both for costing her a chance at winning back the Women’s World Championship.

What Did Rhea Ripley Say About the Potential Match?

In a recent interaction on X, Rhea Ripley responded to comments made by Dominik Mysterio regarding a possible intergender match.

Dominik had expressed his openness to facing Ripley in a singles match but was unsure if WWE would ever book such a contest. Ripley’s response was simple yet direct: “Bring it.”

The Feasibility of Intergender Matches in WWE

Intergender matches, while rare, do have a history in WWE, with select instances occurring over the years. However, they have not been regular occurrence in recent years.

Despite this, Ripley’s formidable presence and the storyline tension between her and Dominik could make a compelling case for WWE to explore this avenue.

CM Punk recently referenced the infamous “AEW Brawl Out” during a post-match interview at WWE’s Bash in Berlin event.

During the interview, Punk opened up about his intense rivalry with Drew McIntyre, as well as his personal life, including a strong stance on protecting his family, which notably includes his wife, AJ Lee, and his dog, Larry.

CM Punk’s Intense Remarks on Protecting His Family

During the post-match interview, CM Punk did not hold back when discussing his protective nature over his family. He emphasized that anyone who disrespects his wife or his beloved dog, Larry, would face serious consequences.

Punk noted, “Just like in the past, If anybody messes with my dog, Larry, I hurt them,” referencing the situation between he, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega backstage at AEW All Out a few years ago.

It was only a slight nod to what has happened in the past for the former AEW Champion, but considering the NDA that he and a number of other names signed when it came to the backstage incident it is interesting that he would decide to make reference to it.

NXT No Mercy Predictions: Ethan Page vs Joe Hendry and More

Jake Skudder
-
0

WWE’s NXT No Mercy 2024 is set to to take place tonight and the card is packed with some decent matches on paper. With the event taking place in Denver, Colorado, fans are eagerly anticipating the outcomes of the confirmed bouts on the match card.

Here are our predictions for the key matches at NXT No Mercy 2024.

NXT Championship Match: Ethan Page (C) vs Joe Hendry

One of the most anticipated matches of the night is the NXT Championship match between Ethan Page and Joe Hendry.

Joe Hendry, with his rising popularity in both TNA and NXT, is looking to dethrone the current champion, Ethan Page. Given Hendry’s momentum and the support he’s garnered, many believe he has a strong chance of winning, and so do we.

Predicted Winner: Joe Hendry.

Why Joe Hendry Might Win

Joe Hendry’s charisma and in-ring skills have made him a favorite among fans, and a victory here could solidify his status as a top competitor in NXT, even though he is technically a TNA-contracted star.

With WWE likely looking to capitalize on his growing popularity, a title win for Hendry seems plausible.

NXT Women’s Championship Match: Roxanne Perez (C) vs Jaida Parker

Roxanne Perez has been a dominant NXT Women’s Champion, showcasing her skills against a variety of different opponents.

Jaida Parker is the next challenger, but her chances of victory seem slim given Perez’s current momentum.

Predicted Winner: Roxanne Perez.

The Case for Roxanne Perez’s Retention

Roxanne Perez has proven to be a strong and capable champion, and WWE may want to continue her reign to build her up further for future high-profile matches. A win over Parker would only add to her impressive resume.

NXT Tag Team Championship Match: Chase University (C) vs Nathan Frazer and Axiom

The tag team championship match features Chase University defending their titles against former champions Nathan Frazer and Axiom. While Chase University has shown promise, Frazer and Axiom’s experience and previous success in the division might give them the edge.

Predicted Winner: Nathan Frazer and Axiom.

NXT North American Championship Match: Oba Femi (C) vs Tony D’Angelo

Oba Femi has been a dominant force as the NXT North American Champion. Despite Tony D’Angelo’s tenacity, it seems unlikely he will unseat Femi at No Mercy.

Predicted Winner: Oba Femi.

NXT Women’s North American Championship Match: Kelani Jordan (C) vs. Wendy Choo

The NXT North American Women’s Championship match between Kelani Jordan and Wendy Choo is set to be a compelling encounter. Wendy Choo, with her newly adopted darker persona, presents a unique challenge for Jordan in this one.

Wendy Choo recently aligned herself with Tatum Paxley and Rosemary from TNA, creating a formidable trio that could disrupt Jordan’s rhythm.

This shift in character has given Choo a more aggressive edge, making her a dangerous contender to the title. With her allies potentially interfering in the match, Choo could use this advantage to dethrone Jordan.

Predicted Winner: Wendy Choo

Why Wendy Choo Could Win

Wendy Choo’s transformation and her strategic alliances suggest that WWE might be positioning her for a significant push.

A victory over Kelani Jordan would solidify her new character and establish her as a dominant force in the women’s division. We expect Choo to leverage her allies and new mindset to secure the championship.

Wes Lee vs. Zachary Wentz

The singles match between Wes Lee and Zachary Wentz is one of the most anticipated contests of the evening. Wes Lee, a former NXT North American Champion, has recently undergone a dramatic heel turn, showcasing a more ruthless side of his personality. This shift has generated significant buzz and has set the stage for a heated showdown with his former partner, TNA X-Division Champion Zachary Wentz.

Zachary Wentz, known for his high-flying style and resilience, will be looking to prove himself against the newly aggressive Wes Lee.

However, given Lee’s recent turn and newfound intensity, it seems likely that WWE will want to continue building his momentum as a heel.

Predicted Winner: Wes Lee

Why Wes Lee is Likely to Win

Wes Lee’s heel turn has breathed new life into his character, making him one of the most intriguing figures in NXT right now.

WWE will likely capitalize on this momentum by having him secure a victory over Wentz. A win would further cement Lee’s new persona and set him up for future feuds in the NXT landscape.

Cody Rhodes Has ‘No Plans’ To Face Mentor Randy Orton

Cody Rhodes retained his WWE Undisputed Championship against Kevin Owens, but could he have another friend to face in Randy Orton?

During the Bash In Berlin post-show, Rhodes addressed plenty as he was also tagging in for Triple H who was unavailable for the post-show due to his daughter beginning college. However, after he got done with the nuts and bolts of the numbers, Rhodes was asked if he could envision Randy Orton as a future opponent for him after he was caught eyeing up the WWE Title months back.

Before Rhodes answered, he did take time to congratulate and thank both Orton and GUNTHER for the ‘house,’ after they headlined the Bash In Berlin, the highest grossing arena event in WWE history.

“Gosh, I don’t want to give you a bad answer, but that match, a lot would have to happen for that match to take place. Again, that’s a very real relationship and friendship in the mentor and the student, but it’s certainly not something I would back down from.

’cause like I just said, sometimes the people you want to know how you’ve grown the most is the ones closest to you and nobody’s closer to me than Randy Orton so if it happens, that’s a lot of drama.”

– Cody Rhodes

A battle between Orton and Rhodes seems more than likely to occur at some point. Even against Kevin Owens, Cody seemed in dire straits, but Owens couldn’t take advantage due to his friendship and it cost him opportunities to win the title. That could have led to a massive heel turn, but after the match KO kept his cool.

Jade Cargill Silences AEW Talk, Wants To Focus On WWE Future

From 2021 to 2023, Jade Cargill was a force to be reckoned with in AEW and was also the promotion’s first-ever TBS Champion. Cargill’s 508-day reign remains the longest in history and the longest of any champion AEW. Nowadays, she is a WWE Superstar and is ready to focus on the future, not her past.

At WWE Bash In Berlin, Cargill and Bianca Belair regained the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. On the post-show press conference, Cargill’s AEW past was brought up and the ‘Storm’ made it clear she’s looking ahead.

“You know what, I’m so tired of answering questions about AEW. I’m proud to be from there; however, I’m here. The answer is that I’m here, and I want to focus on what’s next, and that’s solidifying and owning these tag team titles and making a name for ourselves.”

Despite being a WWE Superstar, Cargill has been asked about her AEW past numerous times since joining the bigger promotion in 2023. On the eve of her WrestleMania 40 debut, Cargill shared multiple reasons for her AEW exit when asked about departing the company.

Now, Jade Cargill is looking to the future and her second reign as a Women’s Tag Team Champion. Not only that, but Cargill has also set her sights on winning singles gold when the time is right. While AEW helped establish Jade Cargill as a name in wrestling, she’s ready to move forward with WWE, and with her booking thus far, the future looks very bright for the SmackDown Superstar.

Lisa Marie Varon Signs WWE Legends Deal: I’m So Freakin’ Ecstatic!

During her WWE tenure, Lisa Marie Varon made a name for herself as Victoria, becoming a two-time Women’s Champion and feuding with the top women of her time. Now, fans can expect to see much more of the mistress of the Widow’s Peak finisher, thanks to a brand new contract.

Fighting back her emotions, Varon shared via video that she has signed a WWE Nostalgic Contract, better known to fans as a Legends deal. Varon shared her love and excitement for the future, stating that she’s “so freakin’ ecstatic over what’s to come. Varon also shared her big news to fans in attendance at the OVW event she was appearing at.

Outside WWE, Varon is known for her time as Tara in TNA Wrestling. With the promotion, Tara held the Knockouts World Championship on five occasions and is also a former Knockouts World Tag Team Champion.

WWE Nostalgic Contract Explained

A WWE Nostalgic Contract sees the promotion pay a name from the past to cover royalties for merchandise including action figures and potential WWE video game appearances. Typically, those on these contracts will make occasional appearances on WWE programming.

Varon is joining some huge names signed to Nostalgic Contracts, including The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, and JBL (though said deal didn’t stop him from appearing at TNA Emergence.) Varon’s news comes days after Jesse Ventura shared that he’s signed a Nostalgic Contract with WWE, so fans can expect to see more of both legends in the years to come.

WWE NXT Talent Compete At Latest TNA Wrestling Tapings

WWE NXT and TNA Wrestling have embarked on a partnership this year that has seen talent from both sides appear for the other. This relationship has proven to be very popular with fans and this partnership continued at TNA’s latest tapings.

This past weekend, TNA held its Emergence event from the Old Forester’s Paristown Hall in Louisville, Kentucky. At the following tapings, multiple WWE NXT Superstars stepped through the ‘prohibited portal’ (a copyright-friendly alternative for the Forbidden Door.)

Karmen Petrovic made her TNA debut by challenging Jordynne Grace for the TNA Knockouts World Championship but failed to dethrone the Juggernaut. Grace herself has played a pivotal role in WWE’s crossover with TNA, first by appearing in the Women’s Royal Rumble match and later in WWE NXT.

Arianna Grace was also part of the WWE NXT influx at the TNA tapings. Grace is the daughter of TNA’s Santino Marella, who serves as TNA’s on-screen director of authority.

While Petrovic and Arianna Grace will soon appear on TNA Wrestling programming, they weren’t the only WWE names at the latest tapings. Riley Osborne was part of the TNA Emergence event, as he competed in the Ultimate-X match that saw Zachary Wentz become the TNA X-Division Champion. It has been reported that Osborne’s partner Blair Davenport was backstage at the show as well.

The NXT-TNA partnership shows no signs of slowing down, with Joe Hendry and Zachary Wentz set to be part of tonight’s WWE NXT No Mercy show. Stay tuned to SE Scoops for all the latest on the ongoing partnership between the two promotions.

Karrion Kross Shares Violent Vision for WWE’s Next Championship

WWE has plenty of championships right now, with Superstars across the main roster and WWE NXT doing all they can to hold gold. Now, Karrion Kross has an idea for a brand new championship, one that isn’t for the faint of heart!

On Twitter/X, Kross suggested that WWE should produce an Extreme Wrestling Championship, which would be defended under violent stipulations. With No disqualifications and ‘no rules,’ Kross said the only way to win would be pinfall, submission, or knockout.

Kross’ pitch had fans in the comments excited about the prospect of a championship based in extreme wrestling. When a fan suggested that the title could be part of Netflix programming, Kross replied in agreement with “Bingo.” WWE RAW will move to Netflix in January of next year in a lucrative move for WWE’s flagship weekly show.

When a fan asked who’d compete in the tournament, Kross said that the fans would get to decide. Multiple fans tagged WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, showing that they’d love to see the title become a reality.

WWE’s Gimmick Championships

WWE is no stranger to ‘gimmick’ championships, and from 1998 to 2002, the Hardcore Championship allowed those competing for the gold to get downright violent. The title briefly returned to WWE TV in 2006 with Edge and Mick Foley being declared co-owners of the gold, but the title was never officially sanctioned.

More recently, WWE has had unique titles such as the 24/7 Championship, which like its Hardcore predecessor, had to be defended at all times. Currently, WWE has the NXT Heritage Cup which must be defended in specific Heritage Cup rules. Off TV, wrestlers can also compete for the WWE Speed championship which sees short, high-octane action on Twitter/X. Later this month, a tournament will begin to crown the first WWE Speed Women’s Champion.

Mercedes Mone will be defending her AEW TBS Championship against Hikaru Shida at the upcoming All Out PPV in a week’s time.

This week’s episode of Collision featured a fatal four-way match among Thunder Rosa, Serena Deeb, Queen Aminata, and Hikaru Shida to determine the next challenger for the former WWE star.

Shida got the upper hand early in the bout when she sent Rosa crashing into the other two women. Though she couldn’t maintain the momentum for long and Thunder Rosa came back with a chop.

This bout went on for almost 15 minutes. The ending saw Aminata turning a back body drop on Shida into a roll up to try and sneak a pin. The Japanese star countered with a forearm and an enzuiguri. She then followed it up with a Katana for the win.

AEW All Out Match Card

This is the sixth match that has been announced for the upcoming AEW PPV event. The show includes matches such as Bryan Danielson defending his AEW World Title against TNT Champion Jack Perry and more. Here is the updated All Out match card:

  • AEW International Championship: Will Ospreay (c) vs. Pac
  • Chicago Street Fight: Willow Nightingale vs. Kris Statlander (with Stokely Hathaway)
  • Steel Cage Match: Swerve Strickland vs. “Hangman” Adam Page
  • Singles Match: MJF vs. Daniel Garcia
  • AEW TBS Championship Match: Mercedes Moné (c) vs. Hikaru Shida
  • AEW World Heavyweight Championship Match: Bryan Danielson (c) vs. Jack Perry

AEW All Out 2024 will be taking place from the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois next Saturday, September 7.

CM Punk Says It’s The End With Drew McIntyre, Sets Sights On GUNTHER

CM Punk wants to put Drew McIntyre in his rearview mirror and has future plans, which included post-match donuts.

Punk’s strap-match victory at WWE Bash In Berlin was certainly definitive as he hit four GTS’s as he tapped all four corners and got the W against his long-time rival, marking his first singles win in WWE in over a decade. Cathy Kelley caught up with CM Punk in the locker room, asking Punk about his future plans.

“It’s definitely the end of me and Drew McIntyre. What’s next for me is I’m gonna take a long hot shower, I’m going to try and find some donuts and I got myself a main event to watch cause I’m very interested in the results: GUNTHER vs. Randy Orton and some people like to say ‘May the best man win,’ but in this case, ‘May the best man win cause the better man is coming for ya.’ I want the gold, I’m coming for you, sucka.”

Punk’s win leaves many people speculating if he’s really done with Drew. The feud could be all the more cemented as Punk also regained hold of the bracelet he and Drew have been battling over. However, the two stand at one victory apiece, meaning a rubber match is ready for the taking and it could culminate at WWE Bad Blood in what many may think should be a Hell In A Cell battle.

Cody Rhodes Addresses Vince McMahon Docuseries & Janel Grant Case

Cody Rhodes took on a big leadership role following WWE Bash In Berlin after addressing a very loaded question regarding Vince McMahon.

Rhodes kicked off the post-show by addressing the media, noting that Triple H was unable to be there due to his daughter heading to college for the first time. Rhodes took several questions before he was asked if he was going watch the forthcoming “Mr. McMahon” docuseries on Netflix and why he thinks the locker room has been silent regarding the Janel Grant case. Rhodes answered both his questions and started off light-hearted by saying he was currently “deep in a Game of Thrones rewatch.”

“I think there’s a bit misinformation in terms of WWE has no involvement in this documentary as far as I know. I imagine I’d get around to seeing it.”

As far as it goes with the locker room “being silent” Rhodes offered a different perspective for the talent.

“I don’t think that’s a matter of ‘belief’ vs. ‘non-belief’ I think it’s strictly speaking we want to be doing what we’re doing out there and the focus and attention it takes: 13,149 people to have a great story and have a great match and do that every single night has left most of us where we’re finding the information out just as you are and that includes the resolution of this information in terms of what happened, how it happened and how justice comes about whatever it may be, but I wouldn’t look at it as an active attempt from the locker to be silent in the attempt we just are doing what we do, day-to-day, WWE business.”

Rhodes was also asked if he believed in Janel Grant and he stated that he didn’t have enough information to know either way. The Mr. McMahon docuseries is set to release on September 25.

GUNTHER Shakes Hands With Randy Orton After Title Defense

GUNTHER retained against Randy Orton, but ‘The Viper’ did something surprising to close out Bash In Berlin.

Orton lost clean to ‘The Ring General’ after he was choked out via several sleeper hold attempts. The match however, was a lot in favor to Orton as GUNTHER was actually the one to fight underneath against the future WWE Hall of Famer.

Randy was really soaking it in with the record-breaking crowd in Berlin, Germany as the main event got underway and he gave it to GUNTHER in so many ways. Orton ended up hitting a RKO on GUNTHER.

During the Bash In Berlin post-show, Cody Rhodes took a moment to thank both Orton and GUNTHER “for the house” tonight in Berlin and they did deliver for a hot crowd. Orton performed a massive spot on GUNTHER at ringside when he set up steel steps to deliver an elevated belly-to-back suplex through the commentary table.

Orton was ready to strike once again when the action got back into the ring, but GUNTHER corrected course and did cinch in his patented sleeper hold. Orton fought free briefly but GUNTHER kept in control and got Randy to pass out.

After the fight, GUNTHER took a moment to extend a hand to Orton and Randy accepted the handshake without any treachory following it.

Following Randy’s exit, GUNTHER spoke in German to the fans and while it still needs to be translated in English, he did mention Triple H in his speech.

GUNTHER has defeated Randy Orton at the WWE Bash in Berlin 2024 PLE to retain his World Heavyweight Championship.

The match appeared to come out of nowhere, with Orton challenging the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion following his World Title win at SummerSlam. Considering the stature of Orton as a legend in the game, it did make sense to have someone of his caliber take the loss against the Austrian Superstar to kickstart his title reign.

GUNTHER would end up taking the win after Orton passed out in a rear naked choke.

Terror Twins Defeat Dom Mysterio & Liv Morgan At WWE Bash In Berlin 2024

Even the numbers game wasn’t enough to stop the Terror Twins in Rhea Ripley and Damian Priest at Bash In Berlin.

Priest and Ripley had the crowd fully behind them as they took it to Liv Morgan and Dominik Mysterio over the course of their mixed tag match which was fourth on the card for the record-setting PLE. The offense for Ripley and Priest was impressive as the two made sure to hit a stereo Razor’s Edge on their enemies. It all looked over at that juncture, but the rest of Judgment Day came into play, attempting to stop the duo from getting the W.

With interferences from JD McDonagh, Finn Balor and Carlito, The Terror Twins’ chances at winning looked terribel, but their were several false finishes which included a 619 attempt by Dominik Mysterio. Dom looked like he had Damian dead to rights as both men were brawling on the commentary tables, but Priest put Dirty Dom down after he took out the rest of Judgment Day. This in turn, isolated Liv as she slowly turned around to get a headbutt, a Riptide and the pinfall loss.

Post-fight, Wade Barrett said on commentary that he didn’t think this feud was over, so one would expect the grudge to continue.

The first four matches on the card had all babyfaces winning their respective bouts as Cody Rhodes defeated an also babyface in Kevin Owens while Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair became the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions and CM Punk put Drew McIntyre in his place in the strap match.

Rhea Ripley will certainly have added incentive to continue her feud with Morgan considering Liv still holds onto the WWE Women’s World Championship. There’s plenty of “bad blood” between the two so one could speculate they’ll be battling each other at the PLE with that very name,

WWE Bash In Berlin Breaks Major Company Record

WWE Bash In Berlin made history in so many ways for the company and that even includes the breaking of a notable record.

Following the CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre strap match which was third on the PLE card, one of the German announcers revealed to the live crowd in the Uber Arena that Bash In Berlin now holds the highest-grossing arena show in the company’s long history, beating out Clash At The Castle. Triple H originally revealed the news before the PLE, but Cole did note the show was sold out with an attendance number of 13,149.

If the crowd reaction has had any indication as to how well-received the PLE has been so far, the number shouldn’t be surprising. The Berlin crowd has been fully invested into the show with every competitor three matches in getting big reactions.

Cody Rhodes ended up retaining his WWE Undisputed Championship against Kevin Owens, while Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair once again became the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions against The Unholy Union. Then CM Punk finally got his retribution (and his bracelet), winning his strap match against McIntyre. The full card for Bash In Berlin also includes Rhea Ripley & Damian Priest vs. Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan as well as GUNTHER vs. Randy Orton for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

It might be several months before WWE potentially reaches such a number again for an arena, but the company is certainly riding plenty of momentum in 2024 and they got a returning PLE forthcoming in WWE Bad Blood.

CM Punk defeated Drew McIntyre at the WWE Bash in Berlin 2024 event tonight from Germany in their strap match.

The feud between the two men has been ongoing since before the Royal Rumble, and escalated when Punk was ‘deliberately’ injured by McIntyre during the 30-man match.

This Strap Match was confirmed in recent weeks on RAW, and it is likely that the blow off for the feud will be at Bad Blood in a Hell in a Cell match.

Punk would win after hitting his fourth Go To Sleep of the match, tearing the bracelet from McIntyre’s wrist and hitting the fourth turnbuckle.

Kevin Owens For Now Maintains Composure Against Cody Rhodes

It was Cody Rhodes vs. Kevin Owens who fired off Bash In Berlin and the two allies didn’t disappoint, but are they allies for long?

Berlin was all about cheering for both fighters during the opening match as dueling chants echoed throughout the Uber Arena, much like the action in the bout itself.

The underlying story was that Cody was fighting with a rumored knee injury as Michael Cole and Wade Barrett put a good deal of focus on Cody’s struggle. Owens hit two major high spots to take it to Cody including an avalanche brainbuster and a top rop senton.

Owens showed frustration when those spots didn’t keep Rhodes down and matters begin to escalate when Cody jammed his knee after an attempted Cody Cutter. Owens eyed the knee, but stopped himself from acting. Cody shoved Owens, telling him he can still fight and that made KO fired up. He almost did his devastating apron powerbomb but stopped himself once again.

The fight did wage on as both men hit finishers, but the tide turned when Cody got his knees up for a KO swanton attempt. Not long after Rhodes hit the Cross Rhodes and secured the 1-2-3.

Post fight, Owens was clearly frustrated, but swallowed some humble pie to embrace Cody and raise his hand.

Even though Owens didn’t turn heel tonight, that doesn’t mean he won’t in weeks to come. Triple H has proven to let storylines slowly develop and not make matters immediate. One matter is for certain is that Berlin was hot for both men for the opening match.
