WWE has announced that Alicia Fox suffered a concussion in her match with Nikki Bella against Charlotte and Becky Lynch on last night’s RAW from Oklahoma City.
This could lead to a new member of Team Bella being brought into the group, as has been speculated. We’ll keep you updated.
– Bear with me this week guys, I’m working on fumes and we’ve got about 3 hours and 45 minutes to make it through… Preshow kicks off with Stanford, Graves and Otunga in WWE HQ. We learn Paige vs. Sasha Banks and Big Show vs. Dean Ambrose are already announced for Raw…. Reports also indicate that the entire WWE roster will be on the stage for the start of Raw.
– Undertaker/Brock Lesnar feud recap from last week’s wild and crazy brawl. Otunga claims we haven’t see the Undertaker since he lost to Brock at Mania until last week. Graves reminds Otunga that Taker returned at this year’s WrestleMania, Otunga completely ignores his giant mistake. Way to keep up with the product.
– It’s Kliq week on WWE Network… God help us all…
– Clips from Seth Rollins/John Cena segment from last week are shown, as I still sit here a week later and wonder WTF they’re thinking by running this program.
– Orton vs. Kevin Owens announced for Raw. The panel talks about Owens slump and his match vs. Finn Balor on the NXT special event the night before Summer Slam.
– Over at Raw, Jojo interviews The New Day about causing the Prime Time Players a loss against Los Matadores last week. New Day denies their intentions. Your typical New Day promo. New Day Rocks and all that…
– Divas discussion follows with all the NXT ladies recently debuting they talk about the mini factions currently in WWE. And that will wrap up the preshow…
– Raw starts with clips from last week’s angle with the Undertaker and Brock Lesnar. As we pan to the arena it’s HHH and Stephanie making their way to the ring… Oh, Seth Rollins is with them too… HHH immediately confirms Summer Slam will go four hours. Their next piece of business is to get over tonight’s card and the Divas division, announcing matches for tonight.
Rollins decides to get himself over so he starts mentioning how he beat Lesnar at Mania, and how he retained at Battleground. Rollins is the best champion of all time, blah blah…
And here comes John Cena to tell him different. John isn’t out here for the Authority, just Rollins. Cena puts Asshole Rollins in check. He calls Seth a JOKE for a champion. Cena suggests we find out who’s right. He knows Rollins won’t accept a fight, so he turns to the Authority for their help. Cena asks for a World Title shot tonight. Rollins doesn’t think he deserves it, but Stephanie leaves it to the people… The people strongly cheer for the match to be made… Stephanie fakes everyone out and says NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. lol… Heel heat.
Stephanie tells Cena to EARN the shot. HHH still makes the match, Cena vs. Rollins, but it’s for the U.S. Title instead. And that helps anyone HOW?
— Commercial Break —
Miz on commentary. Apparently even after killing Miz in 90 seconds, the feud continues for the IC Title with Miz involved. Ambrose goes right at Show with rights and lefts, but gets ran over. Show charges at Dean but Ambrose ducks and Show takes a SLOWWWWW fall over the top rope to the floor. Ambrose with a baseball slide and a suicide dive takes Big Show down. Dean climbs to the top rope for a diving elbow to the floor but flies right into a BIG CHOP from the Big Show, and we’re off to commercial.
Back from break, Dean has his shirt ripped off while Show dominates. Show has Ambrose in a leg lock, so Dean unties Show’s boot. lol? So Big Show stops ti tie his shoe. WTF? lol. Dean applies a sleeper, but Show slobbers everywhere and rips Dean off his back. Ambrose drops Show’s throat across the top rope but Show catches Dean off the top rope and throws Ambrose behind him for a dangerous bump and a 2 count…
Show calls for the Chokeslam, but Dean counters with a DDT. Dean fires up with punches, bounces off the ropes for his big clothesline but runs into a CHOKESLAM!!!! 1………..2………Dean kicks out…..
Show with a SECOND CHOKESLAM!!! Dean rolls to the floor dead, but beats the count back in just before the 10… Dean stands up right into a Superkick from Big Show… Ambrose rolls back outside again and eats a SPEAR from Big Show outside… Show is dominating Dea, but AMBROSE BEATS THE COUNT BACK INSIDE AGAIN!!!
Show is in disbelief. The fight goes BACK to the floor. Big Show PRESSES Dean into the ring, but Ambrose lands on his feet… Dean comes out with a SUICIDE DIVE RIGHT INTO THE KNOCKOUT PUNCH ON THE FLOOR!!! Dean almost beats the count, but can’t beat it… Big Show wins on a count out in 11:20.
Post match, Big Show sizes up Dean who is propped against the time keeper barricade… Show charges at Ambrose, but Dean sidesteps and Show goes right through the barricade and knocks himself out. Ambrose loses but somehow leaves to his music… So why not just have Dean win the first place? I swears there’s some unwritten rule that Ambrose can’t win more than once a month.
I’ll give the writers/Vince credit though… There was no Miz interference, no Wyatt inteference, just a straight up fight.
— Commercial Break —
Fandango has passed that point where he’s no longer just a jobber, he’s one of those guys you genuinely feel bad for. You want him to lose, but not THIS bad. Fanny counters a hurancan rana and runs Neville over with a clothesline. Fandango with the GORY SPECIAL!!!! Neville eventually escapes and hits a jawbreaker and a series of kicks. Dango to the floor and Neville does an inside out 180 dive over the top rope to the floor… Fandango rolled back inside the the Red Arrow ends it in 1:50.
Stardust appears on the Titan Tron to confront Neville. Stardust takes jabs at the fans about wanting him to become a baby face and use Dusty Rhodes’ death as the catalyst. Of course Cody doesn’t actually say that, but you can easily read between the lines… Stardust then rips on the Stephen Amell guy and rips up a picture of his Green Arrow character. Stardust goes on in usual Stardust fashion (AKA IS SUCKS). The crowd doesn’t care. Nothing will stop the super villain from beating the super heroes of the WWE like Neville. BLAH.
— Commercial Break —
– Backstage, Paige is with Becky Lynch and Charlotte talking about the fan support they’ve received. Team BAD shows up to take credit for the recent Divas success. Sasha Banks talks about being NXT champion. Paige talks about being the first Divas champion and 2 time WWE Divas champion. The two sides go at it verbally for a bit, Charlotte WOOs for no reason in the middle of all this, before we go to break…
Up next, it’s Paige vs. Sasha Banks…
— Commercial Break —
The two take the fight to the floor to begin and the team teams have a stare off. Cooler heads prevail and back to the ring for action. Paige nearly kicks Sasha’s face off early for a 2 count… It’s back and forth as the two girls feel each other out and finish with a stand off, but the WWE crowd isn’t trained to applaud so there’s just a small smattering of noise… Paige gets Banks down with a FALL AWAY SLAM gets 2… Backstage watching are the Bellas & Foxy. Sasha takes control. but misses a clothesline and eats a Superkick from paige. The kick knocks Sasha outside, and Paige climbs to the top rope and dives out onto all of Team BAD as we go to break.
Back from break, we see footage from during the commercial when the two teams went at it and all the outside ladies were ejected from ringside leaving it just one on one. Sasha props Paige on the middle rope and hits a double stomp to the gut for a near fall… Banks mocks Paige, says it’s her house now. Banks controls, grabs a couple more near falls and locks in a unique chinlock. Paige breaks free and lands a well placed kick. Paige with a series of knees to Banks in the corner, and then a trio of clotheslines, a dropkick. another Superkick… Paige with a running knee to the face! 1………..2………. Banks kicks out. Sasha back in control, goes for the double stmp on the corner again, but Paige counters and blocks it before locking in sort of a camel clutch… Banks reaches the ropes for the break. Sasha escapes Paige, slides behind and lands the BACK STABBER…. and the BANK STATEMENT as Paige taps out in just under 15:00….
Backstage, Renee Young is with Seth Rollins who could walk out tonight with both the WWE Title AND the U.S. Title. AGAIN, Rollins points out who he beat at Mania, and who he successfully defended against at Battleground. He’s outlasted Brock Lesnar twice, so he can beat Cena. Rollins says he defends his title against the best, while Cena defends against the rest. Rollins says he has passed Cena by and he will prove it tonight.
– Up next, Rusev has a surprise for Summer Rae.
– So, the Terminator is in the next WWE video game, and they’ve also just established by this mini-movie segment that Dean Ambrose is a better actor than anyone else in WWE as well… Go figure.
— Commercial Break —
Rusev and Summer in the ring. He says it’s the woman’s job to obey, but it’s a man’s job to give gifts. Rusev presents Summer Rae a dog… Yes… A DOG. Rusev says the dog’s name is Dolph Ziggler because it’s neutered and pees on itself. But that’s not the only gift… Oh yes, there’s more… It’s a giant dead FISH… He makes Summer take the fish… It has no head. Rusev names the cold fish after Lana, another cold fish… This HAS to be a Vince McMahon idea….
Lana cuts Rusev off. she’s sick of this… AND SO AM I. Lana has some things to say, then Summer has some things to say back. Lana kicks Summer’s leg out from under her and drives her face down into the fish… Lana then slaps Rusev and walks off… Rusev throws the fish down the ramp at her, lol.
This seems to be the question I ask every week with this storyline, but HOW DOES THIS HELP ANYONE?!?!?!?!???? WTF Vince, SERIOUSLY, just WTF…
Oh yeah, and the crowd really makes little noise throughout this crap.
— Commercial Break —
– This entire segment is spend hyping Taker vs. Brock Lesnar. A video package is shown covering their stuff from last week and we learn that Brock Lesnar returns to Raw next week…
– The Lucha Dragons take on Los Matadores, next.
— Commercial Break —
Prime Time Players on commentary. It’s back and forth flippy action in the ring. The PTP are talking about all of the potential challengers. Cara does a headstand in the corner and gets shoved to the floor. Matadores work over Cara on the floor and point at PTP. Ole! Titus calls them Puerto Rican Bull Fighters. Matadors keep up with the double team spots and work over Cara. Meanwhile, Titus and JBL argue about Puerto Rican bull fighters. Double underhook suplex on Cara gets 2… Crowd is about dead and Cara is moving in slow motion for much of the match. Eventually Cata lands something and hot tags to Kalisto and business picks up. Kicks and flippies by Kalisto gets a near fall off a tornado DDT…. Hand spring pele kick by Kalisto gets a near fall… Cara dives on one Matador on the floor, Kalisto and the other Matador drop each other in the ring… and here comes NEW DAY with a a sign that reads REAL MEGA DAD OF THE YEAR, pointing to Kofi, mocking Titus… New Day have fun with PTP on the floor… And they’re also the most over thing out here. Go figure… Meanwhile Kalisto with a rana roll up gets the pin on a Matador in 8:05.
New Day does the Lucha dance, but to the beat of NEW DAY.
— Commercial Break —
– This segment was announced as Luke Harper recommitting to the Wyatt Family. We’ve got Bray Wyatt & Luke Harper coming to the ring. Bray is not a betting man, but if he was he’d bet everyone in the crowd has a family that they love. He says the children’s moms and dads have been lying to them their whole lives and they do not love their children. Because if they loved them they’d tell the truth, that this world is not beautiful or safe. Wyatt says to see the truth, just look at the schools, government, places of worship. The places that protect us are the places we should fear the most. When we realize that, only then will be set free.
Bray talks about having a pet and setting it free. But his pet came back, but something was different with scar across his face. His pet never left again. That day, his pet learned a lesson, that the world has sharper teeth than his. The most valuable lesson is you have to get them before they get you. Wyatt talks about “fixing” Luke Harper from a broken man and set him free.
Luke takes over. Harper says there was a time when he didn’t know why he was here on Earth, but Bray showed him that it was the world who made him the way he is. The world shunned him, but Wyatt saved him and showed him the right path in life. Harper gives his life to Bray Wyatt.
Back to Wyatt who praises Luke for his loyalty. And we move on to discuss Reigns. Wyatt says if Reigns truly loved Ambrose like a brother he would tell him to run away from danger. Wyatt says this is Reigns’ hill to die on, not someone else. But the Wyatt Family is here for him. Follow the buzzards.

– Steve Austin’s podcast guest on the Network next week is… PAIGE? WTF is that?
Nikki and Lynch start. If you haven’t seen Lynch, she’s good. Double team spot by the faces.

Charlotte neds up in the heel corner and Foxy tags in to take over… Backstage, Team BAD is watching. Charlotte gets distracted by Brie and Fox lands a big kick to her head. Double team spot by the heels. Nikki nails Becky on the apron and drops Charlotte as well before doing the lame push ups… Double suplex on Charlotte and Foxy gets 2… Unqiue surfboard applied by Fox, but Charlotte turns it into a pin attempt for 2. Hot tag to Becky Lynch. Like her hair, she’s on fire… T-Bone suplex on Foxy, but Nikki breaks up the cover… We’ve got all four going at it but Becky eventually locks in the arm breaker (the “disarmer”) on Fox for the win in 6:00 even.

Radar Online has released more racist comments from Hulk Hogan, from the same tape that The National Enquirer released on Friday.
The comments could be against actor and singer Jamie Foxx. Hogan was talking about the billionaire black music producer that he talked about in the previous comments. He said:
“F*cking n**ger… he had Jamie Foxx coming in on the 22nd track.”
“I didn’t even tell Brooke about it. F*ck her. Brooke and (name withheld by Radar and The ENQUIRER) met in Miami. Brooke f*cks up a ten million dollar deal I had with the Saudis. Brooke says, ‘F*ck you dad.’ She’s never said that. She flipped a bird at me.”
Radar notes that it couldn’t be determined if Hogan was calling Foxx or the billionaire the “n word.”
Hogan goes on: “I have this huge f*cking house in Miami. My family never comes home. They went to LA. F*ck ’em.”

Jim Ross on Seth Rollins being The Future of WWE:
Kicking off the first South-Eastern leg of his one man show: Ringside: An Evening with Jim Ross:
Anytime you play a market that was a territorial hub then you generally get a very educated fan base that are very loyal. That translates into some very compelling and intriguing question and answers. I’ve found that a big part of my shows and the most entertaining aspects are the question and answer portions which we devote about ninety minutes to and it’s all uncensored, nothing off limits but you just hope that people use good judgment in their questioning but that sometimes is what it is. In the hub cities like Charlotte or Knoxville generally the difference is that the Q and A’s go a little deeper and the fans are a little bit more territorial as far as their questions going territory oriented and “back in the day” oriented rather then what is going on like the last week on Raw.
Who does he see as WWE Champion at WrestleMania 32 and is there still a true heel in wrestling:
I would not take the championship of Seth Rollins until WrestleMania. At WrestleMania if I have something that I believes work then that is where he would drop the title. By then he would have had a full year and if he is not over and he is not a “made man” after being champion then you can’t blame the promotion. He’s like any of the villains on TV whether it is WWE, Ring of Honor, TNA or Lucha Underground there is not enough of guys that cheat to gain an unfair advantage. Villains must stop working for the “pop” or the “this is awesome”. If I were a villain in a true sense of the word that would piss me off to no end. My work should be menacing, dangerous and dirty. It is supposed to enhance your dance partner and make the baby-face more of a bigger, stronger and powerful ticket selling, merchandise selling entity. Too many heels would rather work for a “pop”, then work for “heat”. When you take that angst away there is a fine line between good and evil and if it disappears I say good luck to the business. When you take away the “heel”/”villain dynamic I don’t know what you have got?
Is Seth Rollins The Future of WWE and does The Future need to be champion:
I don’t know that the WWE Champion has to be the future of the company, I don’t know if anyone person should be the future of the company. If it is that’s poor management because you don’t want to put all of your eggs in one basket. I am very proud of the worker that he (Seth Rollins) has become. He has a great mind for the business. He is a bookers dream, in other words he is a beatable champion. In the territory days or the live event days theoretically on any given night that he is defending the title he can be beat. He’s not so physically imposing that he looks unbeatable and I like that. If you are going to have a heel champion then I like one that has vulnerability.
Not knowing finishes to matches:
How can you listen to The Undertaker/ Mick Foley Hell in a Cell match and say I wasn’t emotionally involved in that. I thought he (Foley) died. I thought “we” killed him, “we” meaning the company and booking that match and putting the pressure on this big main event that he had paid the ultimate price to have a great match. Everything you hear on that sound bite was nothing rehearsed because (Jerry) Lawler and I didn’t even know what they were going to do that night. I was talking with Jerry the other day and asked if he remembered us sitting down and going over finishes and he said we never did. We didn’t want to know, we wanted to be surprised. Even Bob Caudle, we hardly ever knew. I think sometimes with announcers in today’s world, the less you know about what is supposed to happen the better off you are. You broadcast what you see and you communicate it in an organic, natural fashion. I think that’s why at one point in time my work was accepted well because my style was physical, it was snug, it was athletic and as my first wrestling boss Bill Watts wanted it was called as a “shoot”.
Who brought out his most raw emotions while on commentary:
With Sting, he started in Mid-South and I saw him from when he had gone to Tennessee (he and Hellwig) very very briefly then he came to work for Bill (Watts) in Mid-South so I’ve known him forever. I had a great re-pour with him. I had an emotional investment into that character. When he was in WCW he was our guy and one of the survivors that made it after the buyout when Crocket bought UWF. Sting was one of the guys that actually survived. So I kind of felt a kinship with him and I liked him a great deal personally. The guy that brought out the most organic, guttural passion from me was Stone Cold and I would say that later on guys like The Rock because I signed him and he was “my boy” from day one as a rookie, Shawn Michaels coming back after being gone for four years was amazing to me and I got so into his matches. When I was being phased out when he got to his run with The Undertaker i got to call WrestleMania 25 and that one match and I am thankful for that. There are different guys at different times in my life and my career that brought just a little more juice in me. But over the long haul Austin from start to finish was special but he wasn’t the only one because Sting was my Stone Cold before Stone Cold became that guy and before Sting there was Dr. Death (Steve Williams). He was like my little brother, well maybe not so little.
His relationship with Dr. Death Steve Williams:
It was a great honor and also a great heartbreak to give the Eulogy at his funeral. I’ve been able to give the Eulogies at Jack Brisco’s funeral and Steve “Dr. Death” Williams funeral and I am not trying to make a career out of doing Eulogies but it’s just nice enough that the families think enough about the relationships I had with the deceased that they ask me to say a few words. Doc was very special. Doc should have had a long run in Jim Crocket Promotions. Doc should have been NWA Champion at least for a run, because he damn sure would have been believable. He just didn’t feel that it would be a steady thing to build his career on so he decided to go the Japanese route and that worked out for him just fine.
Jim Ross talks about so many other phenomenal aspects of his career including the similarities between Bill Watts, Vince McMahon and his father, not signing AJ Styles in 2001, calling the action of New Japan Pro Wrestling and loving the stars they produce, Brock Lesnar vs. The Undertaker, his favorite color commentator, his blog, his podcast and his last departure from the WWE.
WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash tweeted the following today on the Hulk Hogan racist comments controversy:
I’ve spent the last 23 years of my life with Hulk. I’ve been in the most diverse of situations and never heard Hulk use a racial slur.
In no way dismissing the remarks.Just looking at the situation. Sex tape thats set up.Tapes that are easily edited. Content that was pushed
I’ve watched Hulk do 10,000 make awish greetings. Religion creed or color. Never changed the love he shared.Judge a man put him with a child
Tonight’s WWE RAW takes place from the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with more hype for SummerSlam. Superstars advertised for tonight include Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Bray Wyatt. Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker are not advertised for tonight.
WWE has not announced matches for tonight but they are focusing on the following points:
* How will The Authority maintain order this week?
* Who is the greater threat to Team Bella?
* Will Cesaro get his hands on Kevin Owens?
* What Wyatt mind games await Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns?
* Is John Cena right about Seth Rollins?
Hulk Hogan continues to comment on the controversy over his racist comments in 2006. Hogan has mostly been re-tweeting messages of support from African American fans, and also wrote the following (sic):
Unless u went through this,true loyality and love has a different meaning,it makes u want to live and not die,4those that never left me I am Forever grateful and love u with all my heart life,only love 4u. HH
For those that left me and didn’t stand by my side,u will see and I will prove,who i really am and u will also understand my love for u 0LHH
However in re-tweeting messages stating that he isn’t a racist, he also re-tweeted the message below equating Hogan using the “N” word to describe how he’s a racist to President Obama using the term on Marc Maron’s podcast last month when discussing how race relations have changed in the United States:
Bi-racial President Obama uses N word, is applauded and keeps his job. @HulkHogan uses N word, is vilified and loses his job.
Below are Obama’s comments from Marc Maron’s podcast last month where he used the term:
“Racism, we are not cured of it. And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say n*gger in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies don’t, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.”
Below are Hogan’s comments, via The National Enquirer:
“She [Brooke] is making some real bad decisions now. My daughter Brooke jumped sides on me. I spent $2-3 million on her music career, I’ve done everything like a jackass for her… The one option Brooke had, Brooke’s career besides me, is [to] sell beach records.
“I don’t know if Brooke was f*cking the black guy’s son. I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f*cking n*ggers. But then when it comes to nice people and sh*t, and whatever… I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f*ck some n*gger, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n*gger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!
“I guess we’re all a little racist. F*cking n*gger.”
It should be noted that Hogan was never “vilified” for using the term in 2012 when discussing the infamous promo that Booker T cut on him in WCW during an interview with Whoo Kid on Shade 45.
