Big Cass Turns On Enzo Amore, Reveals He Was The Backstage Attacker (Video)

The mystery of who’s been attacking Enzo Amore and Big Cass was finally solved last night on RAW.

Kurt Angle closed out the show by questioning The Revival and Big Show about the backstage attacks, but neither were the guilty party.

With no suspects left, Corey Graves stood up from the commentary table and said he had some important security footage, which revealed that Cass faked his injuries in order to make himself look innocent.

Big Cass finally admitted it was him.

Cass said he was tired of always protecting Enzo and the attacks were merely a sign that he had enough. Enzo started to cry as Cass told him he was holding the two back from ever being champion in NXT or on Raw. He then said that they were through and delivered a big boot to Enzo’s face before walking off to end the show.

Braun Strowman Returns, Challenges Roman Reigns To An Ambulance Match

Braun Strowman made a surprise return last night on RAW. Strowman arrived to the arena in an ambulance which distracted Roman Reigns and allowed Samoa Joe to take advantage and choke Reigns out with the Coquina Clutch.

Strowman made his way to the ring after the match to remind Reigns that he is not finished with him. Strowman slammed Roman to the mat with a reverse chokeslam and challenged him to an ambulance match at the upcoming Great Balls of Fire pay-per-view.

Braun was expected to be out of action four to eight weeks and not up to six months as WWE wrote on WWE.com to further storylines, so it looks like everything is on schedule.

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.

Hogue lost by knockout to Adam Braidwood in a boxing match at the Shaw Conference Centre in an event promoted by KO Boxing. He was pronounced dead on Sunday.

Hogue won his UFC debut against Pat Barry at UFC 98 in 2009 but lost his next three fights. His last fight with the UFC was at UFC Fight Night 23, where he lost to Matt Mitrione on January 23, 2011. He finished his UFC career with a record of 1-4.

Seth Rollins Announced That He Is On the Cover Of The WWE 2K18 Video Game

Image result for WWE 2K18 cover

Seth Rollins announced this morning on ESPN SportsCenter that he is on the cover of the WWE 2K18 video game. He noted that being on the cover is exciting and while he’s a gamer, it’s weird to see his face on the cover.

WWE 2K18 hits stores this fall on PS4 and Xbox One. It’s also rumored for the Nintendo Switch.

Below is the full announcement 2K:

BE LIKE NO ONE: 2K Announces Seth Rollins™ as the WWE® 2K18 Cover Superstar

New Early Access initiative invites players to purchase the WWE 2K18 Deluxe Edition or WWE 2K18 Collector’s Edition and receive the game before its worldwide release date

New York, NY – June 19, 2017 – Be like no one.

These four simple words likely generate several reactions, but for WWE Superstar Seth Rollins™, they are a master class in describing his unmatched work ethic, disruptive mindset and definitive WWE career.

Since joining WWE in 2010, Rollins has done things on his own terms. Like many claim but never accomplish, he was destined to be different, blaze his own trail and take no prisoners along the way, even if it meant disrespecting history. The first move on Rollins’ chess board: become the inaugural NXT® Champion in 2012 and put everyone on high alert. The second move: make his WWE main roster debut at Survivor Series® later that year, align with WWE Superstars Roman Reigns™ and Dean Ambrose™ to form The Shield™ and rally against authority. As the pieces continued moving, the accolades followed: two-time WWE Champion, United States Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion and “Mr. Money in the Bank®,” to name a few. And now, “The Kingslayer” stands tall after a definitive checkmate: defeating Triple H® on WWE’s grandest stage at WrestleMania® 33.

For every calculated action and result, there is no question Rollins will prevail by any means necessary, and in doing so, embody everything it means to be like no one.

In celebration of his in-ring accomplishments and bold individuality, 2K today announced Seth Rollins as the cover Superstar for WWE® 2K18, the forthcoming release in the flagship WWE video game franchise. In addition, Rollins will personify WWE 2K18’s worldwide marketing campaign – BE LIKE NO ONE – which invites players to explore Rollins’ identity, as well as those of several other WWE Superstars, while learning more about the game. WWE 2K18 is currently scheduled for worldwide release on October 17, 2017 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One.

“As the WWE 2K18 cover Superstar and franchise ambassador, it is my incredible honor and mission to ensure this game will truly BE LIKE NO ONE – a calling card perfect for everything I stand for – as it sets forth on its own unique path,” said Seth Rollins. “Following in the footsteps of other WWE 2K cover Superstars – Dwayne “The Rock®” Johnson, John Cena®, Stone Cold Steve Austin® and Brock Lesnar® – I now carry the torch and proudly represent a new generation of WWE Superstars. I am the future, and the future can’t be stopped.”

“Each year, the WWE 2K franchise emerges with a unique identity, impeccable authenticity, an incredible roster and the freedom for players to customize and control the virtual WWE world through its extensive offerings,” said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. “In determining who truly epitomizes BE LIKE NO ONE and represents WWE 2K18 to the fullest extent, there was one obvious answer: Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins.”

In addition, today 2K announced details surrounding WWE 2K18 premium product offerings and their scheduled release dates:

SmackDown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan is heading back to work … because his paternity leave is officially over!
