This season, both the women’s strawweight division and the men’s light heavyweight division will be competing. At the end of the season Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Claudia Gadelha fight on the TUF 23 Finale with Joanna Champion defending her strawweight title. Last week Claudia Gadelha’s team won again and took a 4-0 lead.

WWE Superstar Natalya and her husband, WWE Producer Tyson Kidd, have made their way to New York City – the site for tonight’s SummerSlam. There was some uncertainty if Natalya would be able to make it to the event, seeing as how the funeral for her father, Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart just recently took place, but she is there and could very well be appearing on The PPV.   RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and WWE COO Triple H attended Neidhart’s funeral on Friday and coupled with bad weather in the New York area that disrupted their travel plans, there were doubts if the two would be able to make it…

Despite a promising opening half hour, Monday night’s edition of RAW ultimately flattered to deceive. Here are the weekly sparse hits and myriad misses from this week’s Money in the Bank build-up show: — The Hits — The comedy-laden opening segment Given the scriptwriting standard we’re accustomed to, six men reciting lines at each other in the ring should have been a disaster. Instead, highlighted by Owens’ interruptions and Jericho’s obnoxiousness, Monday night’s opening segment was consistently amusing. The other members of the MITB ladder match finally challenging Jericho on his record in the match he created was wonderful. Jericho maintaining that he won “the first one….the sixth one!” in “Apple…..Appleton…..Stupididiotville!”…

The big news of the day, if you haven’t heard is WWE’s suspension of Roman Reigns for a wellness violation.  It is a 30 day suspension, which would be just in time for a possible return at WWE’s next PPV, Battleground.  Bryan and Dave discuss the situation on today’s Break News Wrestling Observer Radio, check it out!   Without major competition WWE RAW ratings were highest since WrestleMania.  Smackdown and Main Event will be taped on Tuesday night in Tucson, AZ We’re also looking for reports on Saturday’s WWE house show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.  THE ROUNDUP An argument for killing the Smackdown brand WWE RAW live results: Dean Ambrose rules all in a post-MITB world …

While WWE set an all-time record low for Raw on Monday, the rating can’t be viewed negatively given the number and the night. The show averaged 2.66 million viewers, down only 14 percent from the near record low from the prior week. The past two times Raw has aired on July 4th (2011 and 2005), the ratings fell 23 percent and 41 percent respectively from the prior week. Raw was far and away the most watched show on cable, since all the shows on cable that usually provide competition took the night off. It also beat the FOX network programming head-to-head.  Only four other shows on cable hit 1.5 million viewers. From the hourly breakdown, it appeared to be the most loyal/hardcore audience since…

Main photo by Turning Face’s Jim Maitland Here’s five things you need to know about British wrestling this week: 1) Chaos drew a big crowd to a small town. Considering it’s a town that has population of around 12,000, Thornbury may have appeared a strange choice to host Pro-Wrestling Chaos’ Wrath Of Khan event this past Saturday, but they were rewarded with a crowd in the mid-hundreds who were thrilled by a star-filled six-man and the latest chapter in the Eddie Dennis vs. Chris Hero story, amongst others. Dennis, the pride of Wales but also representing the general southwest area that Chaos calls home, beat Hero last August but couldn’t put the…
