Steve and Abyss defeated Beer Money on the March 19, 2016 edition of TNA to win the TNA World Tag Team Championships.

Steve’s last match for Impact wrestling was on April 20, 2017. He re-emerged as the mystery tag team partner for Tommy Dreamer and Rhino at TNA Rebellion this past month. Steve was able to help the ECW originals pick up the win over oVe’s Madman Fulton, Jake and Dave Crist.

The Man is set to become a Mom.
Becky Lynch relinquished the RAW Women’s Championship to Asuka, winner of Sunday’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match.
Lynch made the announcement at the beginning of Raw tonight and began by talking about her time throughout the company, as well as what the fans have meant to her. Becky then said she had to go away for awhile, but was interrupted by Asuka.
When Asuka came to the ring, she learned the Money in the Bank match wasn’t just for a title opportunity … it was for the Raw Women’s title. Becky opened the briefcase to reveal the title inside. Asuka celebrated with her belt and danced around the ring.
Becky told Asuka to go be a warrior and she will go be a mother.
Becky won the Raw Women’s title at WrestleMania 35 after defeating Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair in the main event of the show. She then held the belt through WrestleMania 36 and defended her title successfully against Shayna Baszler. Becky’s reign lasted 399 days.
Lynch and Seth Rollins announced their engagement in August of last year.
In a subsequent interview with People.com, Becky says she learned she was pregnant in April and that the baby is due in December.
Lynch also said she won’t be making a decision regarding her in-ring future yet. “It’s just such a joyous time and then such a sad time too. I loved this and I’ve given my life to this. I’ve achieved everything that I want to achieve in this business,” she explained.
“I don’t know what the next chapter is because I only know what it’s like to think for myself when I’m by myself,” the WWE star continued. “So I don’t know what it’ll look like and how my priorities shift and what I’m going to want in the future. So, everything’s open.”
Watch her announcement below.
Tonight’s WWE RAW will take place from the closed-set Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with fallout from last night’s WWE Money In the Bank pay-per-view.
The 2020 WWE Money In the Bank pay-per-view ran for a total of 3 hours and 24 minutes, including the one-hour Kickoff pre-show, making it the shortest WWE main roster pay-per-view from the United States in 30 years, not counting the In Your House specials.
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon reportedly wanted a shorter show for Money In the Bank, according to Paul Davis of Wrestling News. The current plan is for WWE pay-per-view times to be shorter until they are allowed to have fans back in the arenas.
There’s still no word yet on when fans will be allowed back at WWE events due to the coronavirus pandemic, as everything still depends on those COVID-19 trends. It’s possible that we see some fans allowed at WWE shows in Florida this summer, but that is far from confirmed.
The shorter Money In the Bank event has received praise from fans on social media, with many calling for this to be the new normal for future pay-per-views.
