Triple H Teases Gage Goldberg Has a Future in WWE

0

Triple H has addressed the potential of Gage Goldberg, son of WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg, entering the wrestling world. Goldberg’s recent farewell took place during the WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, where he faced GUNTHER.

Following the match, Goldberg hinted at retirement, and his son Gage, who is already contemplating a transition from American football to wrestling, was present.

During the WWE Evolution post-show, Triple H mentioned that Gage’s interest in wrestling could lead to him joining WWE should his NFL aspirations not pan out. Goldberg has shown support for his son’s potential career in wrestling.

“He probably won’t be the last Goldberg in the business. I can see this sparkle in Gage’s eyes, and he’s been very clear about it – if the NFL doesn’t work out, here he comes. So we’ll see.”

WWE Evolution 2 post-show

With Gage himself previously expressing interest in WWE as a “backup plan” if his football ambitions don’t pan out, fans may very well be witnessing the beginning of a new chapter for the Goldberg name in WWE.

Raquel Rodriguez Discusses Liv Morgan’s Injury Changing WWE Plans

0

Raquel Rodriguez says Liv Morgan’s injury affected plans for not only the Evolution 2 PPV this week but whole women’s locker room.

One half of the current Women’s Tag Team Champions recently had an interview with Shak Wrestling to promote the All Women PPV. She talked about things such as Kevin Nash criticizing her work style, the growth of Judgment Day and more.

When asked about Liv Morgan’s injury and how it has affected the plans, Raquel Rodriguez claimed that the effect goes far beyond just the Evolution PPV:

“Her impact, it was bigger than just Evolution. Her getting injured and this impact that it’s had, not just on Judgment Day, not just on the Women’s Tag Team Titles, but on the entire women’s locker room is going even far past Evolution, you know?”

Lost My Right Hand: Raquel Rodriguez

Liv Morgan injured her shoulder in a match against Kairi Sane during the June 16 episode of Raw last month. She was involved in a rivalry with Nikki Bella at the time, with the expectation of the two facing each other at Evolution 2. The feud was dropped after Morgan’s injury and Bella ended up competing in the battle royal at the PPV instead.

Talking about her absence from the road, Raquel Rodriguez said that she misses her partner every day. The Raw star noted how she and Morgan used to go everywhere together, and not having her around is tough for her:

“She is missed every single day, every single trip. I miss her so much because we used to travel every single — where we went together.

We were staying together in the same hotels and now it feels like I’ve lost my right hand and my sister and so, I’m just trying to keep that communication within us still alive so that she knows that these are still here waiting for her when she comes back.”

Roxanne Perez has joined Judgment Day in the absence of Liv. She has been recognized as one-half of the tag team champions in place of Morgan and she has been defending the title with Rodriguez.

CM Punk Announced For Big Gauntlet Match On Raw

0

CM Punk will be competing in a big match on Raw with SummerSlam implications.

The company had announced that the winner of the King of The Ring tournament will receive a shot at their brand’s World Champion at the upcoming PPV. SmackDown star Cody Rhodes then defeated Randy Orton in the finals to earn a shot at John Cena’s WWE title at the Biggest Party of the Summer.

This left the World Heavyweight Champion Gunther without an opponent for the two-night event, and now WWE has confirmed how they’ll determine his next challenger.

The company has announced that the July 14 episode of Monday Night Raw from Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama, will feature a Gauntlet match with the winner receiving a shot at the World Heavyweight title.

Apart from the Straight Edge star, other participants for the bout include Jey Uso, LA Knight, Penta and Bron Breakker.

CM Punk last wrestled at the Night of Champions PPV, unsuccessfully challenging John Cena for the WWE title. Gunther on the other hand, successfully defended his belt against Goldberg in his retirement match at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

WWE had teased a potential rivalry between Punk and the Ring General only last month, and Gunther even talked about it during the SNME recap show. So the chances of the former AEW star winning the match on Raw seem higher than other contestants.

Triple H Says ‘We’ll See’ If Evolution Becomes An Annual PPV

0

Triple H is not sure what the future holds for the Evolution brand.

WWE presented Evolution 2 from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia tonight, 7 years after the inaugural PPV under the banner. All the women who were part of the event gave their everything and once again proved why the female stars deserve the spotlight as much as the male performers.

During the Evolution post-show, Triple H was asked if fans can expect the All-Women PPV to become a yearly occurrence going forward. The WWE Chief Content Officer played coy, saying that the future plans for the brand will depend on the demand for it:

“Having a night where they can come together and celebrate that, I think it worked out well here tonight. Moving forward, we’ll see — I don’t want to say it’s yearly, it’s not yearly.

I think we see what the demand is for it. Because as the demand for the women grows across the board every day, it became less about having their own show and more about — that’s the equality is, it’s all there. They don’t have to have their show to be in the spotlight. But if it works, we will definitely go down that road again.”

Elsewhere during the post-show, former WWE Champion Big E discussed how he almost broke down watching the PPV, and hoped that it won’t be another 7 years before the show returns.

One of the top moments of Evolution 2 was Trish Stratus receiving a standing ovation from the crowd for her performance. You can check out what she said about her wrestling future afterward here.

Trish Stratus Comments on Wrestling Future After Evolution 2

Trish Stratus has commented on her Evolution 2 performance.

The WWE Hall of Famer challenged Tiffany Stratton for the Women’s Championship at the All-Women WWE PPV. While she didn’t win the match, Stratus once again proved that she can still hang with the newer generation. Trish ended up receiving a standing ovation from the crowd for her performance at the show.

During the Evolution post-show, the wrestling veteran was asked about people showing their appreciation, knowing that any performance could be her last. Trish Stratus noted how similar thoughts cross her mind every time she goes out there, and she feels blessed at being able to continue wrestling:

“I have that thought, like, ‘Is this the last time?’ Like, it could be. And the WWE Universe has been so wonderful for me and so supportive. I just feel so blessed to be able to dip my toes into the waters of the current landscape, like how lucky I am.”

The former Women’s Champion was later asked if we’re going to see her again and she teased more appearances in the coming times saying, “It’s my 25th year [in wrestling], let’s make it a good one.”

During the post-show, Triple H also provided an update on Seth Rollins after his Saturday Night’s Main Event injury. You can check out what he said here.

Toni Storm Makes Indie Appearance After All In: Texas Victory

0

AEW Women’s World Champion ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm is already making waves in wrestling after retaining her title at All In: Texas. Just one day after handing Mercedes Moné her first singles loss in All Elite Wrestling, Storm appeared for Prestige Wrestling’s ‘Combat Clash’ show in Oregon.

Storm gave a speech in the ring, highlighting her reign so far. Fans also got the chance to take photos with the four-time AEW Women’s World Champion, who also signed autographs.

With Moné beaten, questions remain as to who’s next for ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm. Whatever is planned, fans can expect big things for the reigning AEW Women’s World Champion, both in and out of Tony Khan’s first promotion.

Becky Lynch Declares GOAT Status On 10-Year Anniversary of WWE Call-Up

0

At WWE Evolution 2, Becky Lynch retained the Women’s Intercontinental Championship despite fierce competition from Bayley and former champion Lyra Valkyria. When Cathy Kelley caught up with The Man after the match, she reflected on her win and beating the odds.

“The odds are always stacked against me. We are talking ten years to the day I believe, that is right, ten years to the day since I came up and everybody doubted me. Everybody thought I was the underdog and I was gonna be the one to be pushed aside. That I was going to be a good hand but never really did anything.

“I am the definition of this business. I’m the greatest female wrestler of all time. And it’s not just me saying it, other people have said it. Sports Illustrated said it and tonight I proved it once again.”

Lynch’s claim to be the greatest of all time certainly holds merit. A seven-time Women’s Champion and two-time tag-team champion, Lynch is also a Royal Rumble winner and won the first Women’s main event in WrestleMania history.

With Valkyria and Bayley beaten, Lynch is ready to look ahead to her next challenger. After 10 years on the main roster, The Man is hungry for another decade of dominance against the very best WWE has to offer.

Big E: Nights Like Evolution 2 Reminds Us Why We Love Wrestling

0

Big E had plenty of praise following WWE Evolution 2, especially for the epic main event between Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY. In the closing match of the night, the pair held nothing back in their Women’s World Championship showdown and battled both in and out of the ring. On the post-show, Big E had the following to say.

“This industry is one that will often break your heart, it will disappoint you, it will sometimes have you questioning why you still watch wrestling, nights like tonight remind you, they make you feel something — Thank you Rhea Ripley. Thank you IYO SKY — What they did here tonight, left us with something truly special that I will not forget for a very, very long time.”

Despite the efforts of both SKY and Ripley, neither woman left Evolution 2 standing tall. That honor instead went to Naomi, who cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to win the Women’s World Championship. This title win marks Naomi’s first singles gold since 2017.

Despite neither woman leaving Evolution with gold, both Ripley and SKY can hold their heads high as their efforts did not go unnoticed. Whether it’s Big E or the wider fanbase, the efforts of those in the main event have to be respected.

Naomi: Women’s World Title Win Validates My Return To WWE

0

At WWE Evolution, Naomi cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to capture the Women’s World Championship, her first singles title since returning to WWE in January 2024. Speaking on the post-show, Naomi reflected on her return to WWE and how this victory validates the decision to come back.

“It’s everything. Me returning, I wanted to be better, do better, become better. And I think this solidifies that and proves that.”

Naomi walked out of WWE in May 2022 due to creative frustrations, and would carve a path for herself as a Knockout in TNA Wrestling. When asked what she learned duyring her time away, Naomi wasn’t short of answers.

“I learned so much about myself, about the business, about confidence and honestly about just continuing to keep going. You never know what can happen in this business.”

Naomi’s return to WWE has seen ups and downs, but now she’s riding high as the Women’s World Champion. Whether it’s a short reign or a long reign, nobody can take away the fact that Naomi was the one standing tall when WWE Evolution went off the air.

Ric Flair Names His Favorite Female WWE Star, It Isn’t Charlotte

0

Ric Flair understandably has a soft spot for his daughter Charlotte, but a post on X from the Nature Boy has taken fans by surprise. Ahead of WWE Evolution 2, Flair spoke about the Four Horsewomen’s efforts taking women’s wrestling to the next level, before naming Alexa Bliss, not Charlotte, as his favorite woman today.

“Congrats to all the women participating in the Women’s Evolution matches tonight! This is the first time this has taken place since 2018! It will be a night to showcase all of the talented women in WWE. The Queen’ Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Bayley, and Sasha Banks (Mercedes Moné) started the Women’s Revolution and look where they are now!

“In my opinion, their greatness, talent, dedication, and commitment to being the best in the business has put the male talent on notice. Congratulations! I have enjoyed every minute of knowing you and watching you perform. Kick ass tonight, ladies! Oh, and it would be remiss of me if I didn’t mention my favorite — Alexa Bliss. WOOOOO!”

Bliss and Charlotte have been allies on WWE TV in recent weeks, and competed in tag team action at WWE Evolution 2. Though the pair didn’t leave as Women’s Tag Team Champions, they did deliver as part of WWE’s second-ever women’s PLE.

As for Ric, it remains to be seen when he will appear for WWE again, as he has wrapped up his time with AEW. Whatever’s next for the Nature Boy, he’s keeping a close eye on WWE’s women’s division.

Rumor Killer On Seth Rollins Money in the Bank Cash-In Plans

0

Seth Rollins suffered an injury at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event during his match with LA Knight, in a major set back for Mr. Money in the Bank. Though some believed this forced WWE to nix a cash-in attempt, that isn’t the case.

Fightful Select reports that WWE had no intention of booking a cash-in by Rollins on either GUNTHER or Goldberg during the event. The only alteration to the original lineup was LA Knight’s victory in the match Rollins was upported to win.

Rollins has held the Money in the Bank briefcase for over a month now, and this marks his second time holding the case. Whatever plan WWE has for his cash-in attempt, it was never supposed to come at Money in the Bank.

At this time, details remain scarce about Rollins’ injury, and fans will have to wait and see when Seth Rollins can return to in-ring competition. The timing of his injury is especially unfortunate, with SummerSlam fast approaching.

Triple H Says Seth Rollins Injury ‘Doesn’t Look Good’

0

Triple H has provided an update on Seth Rollins.

The Money In The Bank holder seemingly suffered a knee injury during Saturday Night’s Main Event yesterday. This forced WWE to cut his match with LA Knight short and rework the last 40 minutes of the show on the fly.

The Game talked about Rollins during his appearance on the Evolution 2 post-show. He revealed that Seth will be in Birmingham tomorrow to get a better evaluation but claimed that as of right now, his condition does not look good:

“I’m sure somebody here will ask about Seth. I’ll just say right now – a little bit inconclusive. Doesn’t look good. But we’re in Birmingham tomorrow. He came here tonight.

He was not going to miss his wife’s performance tonight. He is here or was here. He’ll be in Birmingham tomorrow with Doctor Dugas. We’ll get MRI and hope for the best. See where we can go with that.”

Seth Rollins was at Evolution 2 supporting his wife, Becky Lynch. The Man successfully defended her Women’s Intercontinental Championship against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria at the show.

The show also featured a surprise ending with Naomi cashing in her Money In The Bank contract. You can check out what happened after her cash in here.

A top NXT star turned heel during Evolution 2

WWE presented the All-Women PPV from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, this Sunday. The WWE developmental brand was represented by the NXT Women’s Title match as Jordynne Grace challenged Fatal Influence’s Jacy Jayne for the belt.

With Jayne having her teammates Fallon Henley and Jazmyn Nyx on her side, Blake Monroe offered to be at the ringside to help Grace in this match.

Monroe seemed to be doing what she said at first. She stopped Fallon Henley from interfering in the match, and Blake then quickly took out Jazmyn Nyx as well.

The former AEW Women’s Champion then picked up the NXT title. As Jayne threw Jordynne Grace into the ropes, however, Monroe hit her friend in the back with the belt.

The referee was busy with Henley and Nyx on the other side of the ring, so the match was not called off.  The attack from Blake allowed Jayne to hit the Rolling Encore, and she pinned the former TNA star to retain her title.

The show also featured a surprising twist in the main event as Naomi cashed in her Money In The Bank contract. You can check out the result of the match and what happened afterward here.

The two main eventers shared a moment after Evolution 2 went off air.

WWE presented the Evolution 2 PPV from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, this Sunday. The main event of the show featured Rhea Ripley challenging IYO SKY for the Women’s Championship.

Both women put on a great match, proving why they deserved to be the last bout in the card. The ending of the bout saw Ms. Money In The Bank Naomi pulling a Seth Rollins maneuver, and cashing in her contract while the championship match was still ongoing.

The triple threat match rules allowed her to use her briefcase as a weapon on SKY. After taking Ripley out by sending her crashing through the ring post, Naomi delivered a split-legged moonsault on the Women’s Champion for the pin.

What Happened After Evolution 2

The second Evolution PPV went off the air with Naomi celebrating her big victory up on the ramp, while SKY and Ripley remained in the ring.

After the broadcast of the main show ended, Rhea showed some respect towards her opponent. She shared a hug with IYO before both left the ring together.

This is Naomi’s first time winning the Women’s title in her decade-plus career in WWE. She previously had multiple runs with the women’s tag titles but had never held a singles title in the company.

WWE Evolution 2 delivered a shocking conclusion as Naomi successfully cashed in her Money in the Bank contract to capture the Women’s World Championship. The evening’s main event originally featured IYO SKY defending her Women’s World Championship against challenger Rhea Ripley in what was shaping up to be a classic encounter.

However, the match took an unexpected turn when Naomi’s music and she ran down with the Money in the Bank briefcase. Naomi hit SKY with the case before executing her signature Split-Legged Moonsault on Ripley for the victory.

Despite the controversial nature of the finish, the evening concluded on a note of mutual respect. IYO SKY and Rhea Ripley, both having put forth tremendous efforts in the original match, showed sportsmanship in the ring following Naomi’s heist.

WWE Star Announces Successful Surgery After Tearing ACL

0

WWE NXT star Ariana Bennett has revealed that she recently suffered a major injury, announcing that she tore her ACL and has already undergone surgery. Bennett shared the news with her followers in a heartfelt social media post.

Taking to her Twitter account, Bennett explained that the injury occurred a few weeks ago in a dancing video she had posted. She surprisingly did not feel any pain when it happened and continued to practice, only to discover later that she had suffered a full tear. Bennett noted she waited until after her surgery was complete to provide an update in order to protect her mental health.

In her post, Bennett shared her mindset through the process and vowed to make a full recovery. Her last match was at an NXT live event on April 26.

“Life threw a curveball a few weeks ago…I tore my ACL,” Bennett wrote. “To protect my mental, I wanted to wait until after surgery to update my followers. At first it was a lot to process, until I started praying and realized God is always working…even when I can’t see it. Keeping things fun and lighthearted has helped me get through the hard times. Laughter really is medicine. This is just one chapter in the story. Right now, it’s about healing, trusting the process, and coming back stronger—mind, body, and spirit.”

We wish her a speedy recovery.

Internal Reaction To Goldberg’s SNME Speech Being Cut Short On Broadcast

0

Many fans watching Goldberg’s final match at last night’s WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event were left frustrated when the broadcast cut away during his post-match retirement speech. A new Fightful Select report has shed light on the production issue, noting it was unintentional.

The NBC network feed for Saturday Night’s Main Event ended abruptly while Goldberg was addressing the fans in the ring. The issue was reportedly due to WWE having a “hard out,” or a strict time limit, for their broadcast window on the network. According to sources, this was not an intentional slight, and a number of people within WWE felt bad about how it transpired. It was also claimed that at least one company higher-up personally apologized to Goldberg for the error.

Following the show, WWE sources indicated that the company quickly made plans to make the full speech available to the public. As promised, WWE posted Goldberg’s complete and uncut retirement speech to its digital platforms on Sunday afternoon, allowing fans to see the moment in its entirety.

The speech came after Goldberg’s final match, where he unsuccessfully challenged GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship. Despite a valiant effort, the WWE Hall of Famer was defeated by the reigning champion, bringing his legendary career to a close.

Longtime WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia announced on social media that she would miss tonight’s Evolution premium live event due to a persistent respiratory infection.

Despite being able to announce at WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event, her condition worsened, rendering her unable to perform at Evolution.

“I was so excited to be announcing @wwe Saturday Nights Main Event and @wwe Evolution this weekend but because of lingering effects of a respiratory infection I got some weeks ago, I was only able to announce SNME last night before my voice started wigging out.”

Alicia Taylor will fill in as the announcer for the event. Garcia expressed her gratitude towards Taylor and excitement for celebrating the women of WWE and those who paved the way for this momentous event.

“Grateful to my announce sista @aliciataylorwwe for stepping up to announce Evolution tonight and so excited to celebrate all the women involved, as all the women that have paved the way to this moment!”

Cody Rhodes Was ‘Honored’ To Be Part of WWE’s Latest Saudi Arabia Trip

0

Cody Rhodes has flimsy defence to WWE’s Saudi Arabian shows.

The company’s relationship with the Kingdom came under scrutiny once again when tensions flared up between Israel and Iran just days before the Night of Champions PPV last month. While a ceasefire was reached before the show, it made fans everywhere else question WWE’s visits to the Middle Eastern country.

The WWE quarterback gave his opinion on the matter during a recent interview with Boston Herald. Cody Rhodes criticized what he called the ‘gotcha culture’ of fans, claiming that it shouldn’t be anyone’s business:

“That is a responsibility to our fan base, I don’t want to be negative, but I will say there is this whole ‘gotcha culture’ over who is a Democrat, who is a Republican, who is a moderate, and who people support.

None of these things really should be anybody’s business – because our business is going where our show goes, which is all over the world, and hopefully bringing people together. WWE is a non-partisan brand. We go where the show goes.”

The American Nightmare claimed that seeing the enthusiasm of the fans in Saudi Arabia was one of the biggest eye-opening moments for him. Per Cody Rhodes, there is similarity between the fandom of people in the middle east and in Europe and he felt ‘so honored, especially in tumultuous times, to be able to go.’

Cody competed in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament at Night of Champions where he defeated Randy Orton. The win earned him the right to challenge John Cena for the WWE Championship at the upcoming SummerSlam PPV next month.

Injury That Led To Adam Cole Relinquishing TNT Title Confirmed

0

Reason why Adam Cole is stepping away from AEW has been revealed.

The wrestling veteran was scheduled to defend his TNT Championship against Kyle Fletcher at last night’s All In Texas PPV. Hours before the show however, Tony Khan announced that Cole was unable to compete at the show.

The wrestling star still made an appearance at the PPV. It was unfortunately, to relinquish the TNT title in person and address the crowd. Cole and his Paragon teammates were all very emotional during the whole segment and the now former Champion even hinted that this could be the end of his career.

Fightful Select has now provided an update on the situation, confirming the fears that Adam Cole has suffered yet another concussion. According to them, the former WWE star is believed to have suffered the injury within the last week. The decision to pull him out of the show was made early morning on Saturday, because he wasn’t feeling very well.

The former NXT Champion previously spent almost 9 months on the shelf after suffering two back-to-back concussions in mid-2022. The road to recovery from those concussions was not an easy one for the 36-year-old.

Cole previously revealed that for months, he couldn’t even spend 15 minutes inside a car, and he was only cleared to take short walks by doctors. His body was not responding to his commands and at one point, Adam was worried about the quality of his life going forward.

SEScoops wishes a speedy recovery to Adam Cole.

Kenny Omega Reveals His Fear About Young Talents

0

Kenny Omega has expressed concern about young talents not taking care of their bodies.

The former AEW Champion has faced a number of health problems in recent years that have kept him away from ring for an extended period. Combined with the wear and tear he has put on his body over the years, Omega now has to be very careful about the risks he takes in his matches while also trying to deliver the level of performance fans expect from him.

During his recent appearance on Wrestling Observer Radio, Kenny Omega reflected on the problem of people taking too many risks in their early years only to end up suffering for it later in their lives:

“It almost becomes like you’re chasing the dragon and you don’t want to get to a level where things become too physically demanding, too dangerous, too self-harm inflicting where now you have younger guys, and I’ve been there, ‘Hey, I can take the schedule and still ramp it up.’ You feel that way until you can’t.”

That’s My Fear: Kenny Omega

Kenny Omega mentioned how putting on good matches regularly is a double-edged sword for AEW. The company is known to give away dream matches on their weekly TV shows without a lot of build-up. However, this leads to the fans expecting talents to go above and beyond that when they’re booked for a PPV.

The former IWGP Heavyweight Champion discussed how this approach can lead to young guys with a bright future beating themselves up to a point where they cannot enjoy the fruits of their labor when the time comes:

“My worry is that we’re going to have these young guys with incredibly bright futures who are beating themselves up at an accelerated rate so that when it comes time to place faith in a particular athlete or performer, and by that, I mean put the belt on them, can they hold that belt in a healthy state for the long-term?

That’s my fear. I see the writing on the wall for me. I already know where I’m headed and the pace I need to travel at and perform at. I know I’m not invincible. I’ve had the injury and health scares.

I know I have to be careful and pick and choose my moments. You can’t tell a young person, ‘This is going to happen down the road. Trust me.’ Everyone knows it, because I was one of them too, ‘Speak for yourself. I’m fine.’ It’s just how it is.”

This interview came only days before one of AEW’s top stars in Adam Cole, had to vacate the TNT Championship due to an injury. The former NXT Champion was set to compete at All in Texas, and the news of him relinquishing the belt came only hours before the PPV.

This is the third time since 2021 that the 36-year-old has been put on the shelf in the middle of a big program, forcing the company to make major changes to their plans. Cole cut an emotional promo at the PPV, indicating that this might be the end of his wrestling career.

Athena Asked About Goldberg’s Retirement Match: I Don’t Care About Anyone Else

0

Athena says she is focused only on herself and her achievements.

The ROH Women’s Champion took part in the post-All In press conference. This came after she won the women’s gauntlet match at the PPV event earlier in the day.

During the media scrum she was asked if her win at the show was more impressive than the retirement match of Goldberg taking place on the same day. Replying to the question, Athena said that she is focused only on her own history making career and she doesn’t really care about anyone else:

“I focus on me and my championship reign. I’ve traveled all around the world. I am a history maker. Time and time again, I have made history. I was the first woman to main event a pay-per-view in Hammerstein Ballroom.

A first woman to main event under the Tony Khan banner. I am here to stay. I am focused on me and my championship reign. I don’t care about anyone else right now. Right now, this is my time.”

Goldberg’s last match was held in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. The former WCW Champion challenged Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship but lost the bout after the Ring General locked him into a sleeper hold.

Tonight’s win earns Athena a future shot at the AEW Women’s Championship held by Toni Storm. There is no word on when or where this match will be taking place but Tony Khan has said that he’ll be addressing the matter on TV soon.

Seth Rollins Injury Led To Major Change In SNME Plans (Report)

0

Seth Rollins’ injury led to some big changes to tonight’s WWE show.

The Architect went up against LA Knight at the July 2025 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event. The bout had to be cut short, however, when Rollins suffered a leg injury. Reports that have come out since then have confirmed that the injury is legit and not part of any angle.

Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer provided some more updates on the situation later in the day. He revealed that WWE had to rework the ending of the event in light of Seth’s injury:

“The last 40 minutes of the show was changed on the fly, and there was something that was supposed to happen later that didn’t as a result of the injury,”

The injury also puts the future of the Money In The Bank briefcase currently held by Seth Rollins in doubt. Though in kayfabe he has until next June to cash in, so it’s possible that Rollins will hold onto the contract even as he recovers.

WWE did not abandon the Saturday Night’s Main Event match despite Seth’s injury, and LA Knight ended up picking the victory with a BFT. Though reports suggest that it was Rollins who was originally expected to win the bout. You can check out more about it here.
