Becky Lynch Continues to Have a Profound Impact in WWE

When The Man comes around she draws crowds!

Today ahead of the pay-per-view Elimination Chamber Cricket Wireless in Houston Texas held a meet-and-greet for The Man Becky Lynch.
And despite Becky not even being booked for tonight’s pay-per-view that didn’t stop fans from coming out in full force just to catch a glimpse of The Man.

According to fans in attendance it was reported that the line started forming a whole day before Becky’s scheduled meet and greet at 10 a.m. the line even wrapped around the entire building see here

Now keep in mind this wasn’t a movie premiere, this wasn’t a video game release, this wasn’t a new phone release, this wasn’t even a wrestling event… it was a Meet and Greet for ONE SINGLE PERSON, one single person drew crowds of hundreds upon hundreds of people. If that’s not being “over” than we don’t know what is.

Fans in attendance even said that Becky Lynch went well over her scheduled time of two hours just so she could meet and interact with more fans up until the point where she was all but forced to leave.. Here are some of many videos referencing that very claim

Today was indeed a very moving day for The Man, but if you asked her what her one regret was it would be this.

If nothing else this just proves how truly special Becky Lynch is. We here at Wrestling News Blog have been watching professional wrestling for a very long time and we can’t recall a time where a superstar has had this much impact.

This is why we truly do believe that Becky Lynch should be the one coming out of WrestleMania Victorious. Any other result is a slap to the fans faces.

We beg of you don’t mess this one up because The Man truly is one of a kind and she deserves nothing but the best.

Amanda Nunes Makes History at UFC 232

UFC

Over the years there has been much dispute over who the greatest of all time is when it comes to women’s MMA. Tonight I think the world finally got their answer. The GOAT is indeed a Lioness. At UFC 232 Amanda Nunes made history by becoming the first woman to be a two-division champion. Furthermore, she did something that NO OTHER woman was able to do, knock out Cris Cyborg. In her post-fight interview, the lioness said she believes she’s a future UFC Hall of Famer, and after a first-round TKO over Ronda Rousey and now a first-round KO to Cyborg who in their right mind can argue that? It’ll be interesting to see how this changes the complexity of not only the bantamweight division but the featherweight division as well. Nothing is for certain but no matter what we’re excited On behalf of everyone here at wrestling news blog we would like to extend our congratulations to Amanda Nunes. It is well deserved

Time and time again NXTTakeover deliveries and tonight was no different. From opening bell to the very last NXTNewOrleans had something special.

One of the moments that was near and dear to our heart, was when Shayna Baszler captured the NXT Women’s title from Ember Moon by putting her to sleep.

The hesrtfelt moment continued after the match in Baszler’s post interview.

Iron Man matches, hell in the cells, street fights, Money in the Banks. What do all of these have in common? Up until recently only men competed in these types of matches. Today though we live in a different time and now more than ever it is clear that women can wrestle just as good, if not better then the men. It’s clear that these women are leading a change and after last night there’s still no sign of slowing down.

Last night on Raw Stephanie McMahon made the announcement that on January 28th we will witness the first ever all women’s Royal Rumble. It was clear by not only the reaction of the superstars in the ring but the crowd as well that this has been a long time coming. We here at Wrestling News Blog are over the moon excited about this announcement and we are proud that we get to live to see it happen. Everyone knows the Royal Rumble always has surprises so the possibilities are endless, but one thing is for sure the Road to WrestleMania is Paving out to be an epic one.

WWE issued the following press release on the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match, featuring comments from Stephanie McMahon:

FIRST-EVER WOMEN’S ROYAL RUMBLE® MATCH SET FOR JANUARY 28STAMFORD, Conn. – For the first time in history, WWE’s female Superstars will perform in a Royal Rumble match on Sunday, January 28, where Superstars will go head-to-head with the winner receiving a championship opportunity at WrestleMania® 34 this April. This milestone was announced tonight by WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon during Monday Night Raw® live on USA Network.

The women’s Royal Rumble marks another milestone in WWE’s women’s evolution, which has placed a spotlight on its female performers, involving them in more prominent storylines, with deeper character development and longer matches.

“The first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match will mark a significant moment in the evolution of WWE,” said Stephanie McMahon, WWE Chief Brand Officer. “WWE’s female performers are role models, inspiring and empowering women and girls to be confident and strong. They deserve their own match at Royal Rumble.”

At WrestleMania 32, WWE unveiled a new Women’s Championship title belt and re-branded the Divas Division to become the Women’s Division. Since then, WWE has placed a greater emphasis on its female performers, including recruiting female talent from around the world, as well as the recent signings of the first female recruits from the Middle East and India.

This year, WWE created the first-ever women’s tournament, Mae Young Classic, which included 32 of the top female competitors from 16 countries, underscoring the breadth and international diversity of women in sports entertainment. In addition, earlier this month, WWE Superstars Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss took part in the first-ever women’s match in the Middle East, and this summer in partnership with Mattel, WWE unveiled the first-ever Fashion Doll line featuring its female Superstars.

BREAKING NEWS: With Anderson Out Cyborg Will Now Face Invicta Champion Tonya Evinger At UFC 214

The UFC made the announcement today that Megan Anderson is out of UFC 214 and replacing her will be Invicta’s bantamweight champion Tonya Evinger.

In an official statement Anderson had this to say:

“I have been wanting this fight for a long time and finally got the opportunity to showcase my skills on the big stage but unfortunately due to some pressing personal reasons that are out of my control, it is not to be right now. I am no stranger to struggle and this is the biggest struggle I have faced yet, but like I always do, I will come back stronger and better than before and I will be coming straight for Cris, the Title and becoming the face of the UFC 145lb division. I am determined and resolved to make history and shock the world. I’m coming for whoever has that belt.”

Cyborg vs. Evinger will still be for the featherweight title and It’ll serve as the co the main event for Daniel Cormier vs. Jon Jones. UFC 214 will take place in Anaheim California on Saturday July 29th 2017

Breaking News: Cris Cyborg vs. Megan Anderson Officially Set For UFC 214

After months of the newly established women’s featherweight division being in limbo the UFC has finally given us a match up and it’s a huge one.

Today the promotion made the official announcement that at UFC 214 Cris Cyborg will return to the octagon to take on rising star Megan Anderson.

This announcement comes after Germaine De Randamie announced that she would be going back down to 135 therefore being stripped of her tittle. Randamie became UFC’s 1st women’s featherweight champion by defeating Holy Holm at UFC208 last February.

The last time we saw cyborg in the octagon was last September when she defeated Lina Lansberg via TKO in the 2nd round. UFC214 will be the first time cyborg fights at 145 inside the UFC.

On the other side we have Megan Anderson who has been on a tear in invicta. With a record of (8-2) the Australian native is coming off 4 straight wins including her most recent win over Charmaine Tweet at invicta 21 last January. On that night Anderson became invicta’s interim featherweight champion and later became its official champion once cyborg decided to vacate the title.

With all of this in consideration this is the fight that many believe should’ve been the first featherweight match up in the UFC to begin with. Both cyborg and Anderson have been very vocal about this fight and now it’s finally happening.

The fight will take place on July 29th in Anaheim California as the co main event for Cormier vs Jones 2.

As far as Anderson’s Invicta title goes that is still up in the air. She was slated to defend her belt at Invicta24 against Helena Kolesnyk on July 15th, that is obviously no longer the case. Kolesnyk will now be taking on Tonya Evinger in a non title fight.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens to Invicta’s featherweight division after the dust has settled. Until then we have an awesome fight to look forward to and we’re definitely excited about it.

TMZ Sports Releases A Goosebump Worthy Promo For UFC 207

With just 23 days left until UFC 207 it was only a matter of time the epic promos would start rolling out.

UFC 207 will mark the first time Amanda Nunes looks to defend her woman’s bantamweight title. It also marks the anticipated return of Ronda Rousey, someone we haven’t seen in the octagon in over a year.

It’s been a crazy year to say the least for the women’s bantamweight division in the UFC since Rousey lost the title last November we’ve seen it change hands two more times (Tate and Nunes). Rousey successfully defended her title six times before eventually dropping it to Holy Holm.

There has only  been four women bantamweight champions in the UFC thus far. All with the exception of Rousey lost it in their first defense. The Lionness looks to break that pattern but the question remains can she get it done?

Rousey has kept a pretty low radar leading up to her return but this promo sure does give the impression that she is ready. You can’t tell us this doesn’t give you chills. Check it out here https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=GkjgwsttfQk

The fight goes down live in Las Vegas at the T-Mobil arena in Las Vegas NV on Friday December 30th. Will you be watching? Let us know in the comments below
