He relinquished the Universal Championship. The Crown Jewel match for the Universal Championship has been made a one on one match between Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar<br \/>\n&#8211; Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose win the Raw Tag Team Championships after Braun Strowman runs down to attack Drew McIntyre for attacking him earlier in the night. Immediately after winning the championships, Dean hit Seth with Dirty Deeds. Dean continued to beat up Seth, throwing him into the time keeper\u2019s area, throwing both Tag Team Championships at him, and finally hitting him with a DDT to the concrete floor surrounding the ring after pulling up the mat at ringside.<br \/>\n&#8211; It seems that there were two more turns this week. Braun Strowman, who showed signs of turning face last week, appears to be baby face once again after cutting a very baby face promo when talking about beating Brock and that Roman will get a title shot as soon as he\u2019s back. Braun was also attacked from behind by Drew McIntyre at the end of that promo. Elias appears to have turned baby face as well. After being forced off the stage and belittled by Baron Corbin, Elias smashed a guitar across the back of the heel general manager.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smackdown Live<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&#8211; The full video of Becky\u2019s attack on Charlotte that was teased by the NXT Twitter account late last week was shown on Smackdown. Charlotte was talking to some WWE women at the Performance Center and in the middle of her Q &amp; A session Becky appears and is upset that Charlotte was asked to speak to them instead of her when she is the champion. They brawled as people tried to pull them apart.<br \/>\n&#8211; AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan were put in a tag team rematch against The Usos this week. Last week Daniel Bryan accidentally hit AJ and was pinned immediately after. This week AJ Styles accidentally hit Bryan with a Pel\u00e9 kick and was pinned quickly after. In a backstage segment, Daniel Bryan didn\u2019t seem confident AJ did it accidentally.<br \/>\n&#8211; Shane McMahon was back on Smackdown this week and was mentioned twice in interesting fashion. Early in the night Shane was mentioned as having booked a Smackdown Tag Team rematch instead of Paige for Crown Jewel. This could mean nothing, but it was noticeable. Later in the night Shane came out before the main event and mentioned Evolution on Sunday then hyped the World Cup Tournament at Crown Jewel next week.<\/p>\n<p>For a more detailed rundown of all the major happenings in WWE, you can read the PWTorch WWE TV reports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/category\/tvshowsandevents\/tv_wwetvreports\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>\u00b7 WWE in the Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Alexa Bliss was on Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia this week. Alexa talked about growing up without any siblings and said that she feels that she sacrificed her childhood, spending school breaks in the gym working with trainers and cheering, so while she didn\u2019t go through indie wrestling, she said she absolutely has made sacrifices to get to WWE. Alexa also discussed her previous eating disorder and how it still impacts her mentally today, saying she wrestles most of the time with a shirt on because she doesn\u2019t like her stomach and how she looks in her gear, but that wrestling in a shirt is a healthy way for her to react to not feeling positive about her body on a given day rather than an unhealthy alternative. Alexa talked about being uncomfortable during the Nia Jax body shaming storyline leading up to Wrestlemania this year due to her past and said Nia provided a lot of different things Alexa could say negatively about her for their storyline, but Alexa wasn\u2019t comfortable doing so, so they went with something else. Alexa also talked about her relationship with Buddy Murphy, noting that they are still together, and also told stories about her pet pig Larry Steve.

As with countless others who have wished him well, I would like to do the same thing and pray that he can beat leukemia again. This is much bigger than wrestling and, if he is able to return in the future, it would be an incredible comeback story, but that is secondary at this point.<\/p>\n<p>-Another big story this week was the lackluster final hype for Evolution. While watching the shows, it didn\u2019t feel like a &#8220;go home show&#8221; on Monday or Tuesday for Evolution on Sunday. The contract signing on Monday with Ronda Rousey and Nikki Bella was good and so was the video package for Becky Lynch and Charlotte, but it just didn\u2019t seem like the WWE was making a big deal about the show. The Charlotte and Becky video seemed like it came a week late and while it was really good, it just didn\u2019t feel like the right note to end on when trying to sell people on watching Evolution over anything else on a Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from that video package on Tuesday, the only other hype was a random brawl of all the Battle Royal contestants from Smackdown and Shane mentioning it briefly before moving on to Crown Jewel hype. On Monday, apart from the Ronda and Nikki contract signing, we had Sasha fight Ruby Riott as a teaser for their six-woman tag match, a two minutes Fatal Four-way match that was a buffer to the main event, and a backstage interview that turned into a fight between Trish &amp; Lita and Mickie James &amp; Alicia Fox. When thinking back to when the initial announcement was made by Stephanie McMahon and how much the WWE promoted this event right out of the gate, this final push to the show just seemed very disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of that initial announcement by Stephanie, we were told that Evolution would feature over 50 women. On July 23 WWE.com posted an article announcing the event, they included a quote from Stephanie who said \u201cOn October 28, over 50 women, then, now and forever, will participate in an event called Evolution\u2026\u201d So did they reach that number?<\/p>\n<p>Currently there are 39 women listed including 21 in the Battle Royal, but if we count the announcers, interviewers, and ring announcers that were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wwe.com\/shows\/wweevolution\/article\/all-star-announce-team-revealed-for-wwe-evolution\">announced in a WWE.com article this week<\/a>, we are up to 49 women. If Brie Bella accompanies Nikki for her match against Ronda, then we\u2019ve hit the magical number 50. While they managed to get to 50 women, I think most people are disappointed in how they got to that number. I know I certainly am. Twenty-one women of the past and current roster are being thrown into a battle royal including names like Asuka, Ember Moon, and Nia Jax who deserve bigger spots on this card.<\/p>\n<p>With the promise of 50 women on the show, it was pretty obvious from the start that there was going to have to be a battle royal of some kind to reach that number, so the match itself makes sense with that goal in mind, but maybe they shouldn\u2019t have announced a number at all. On a positive note, I really appreciate there being stakes put on the match, with the winner receiving a future championship match.<\/p>\n<p>There are two key problems with the battle royal in my opinion. First, I\u2019m disappointed that some big stars and great wrestlers of today are thrown in the battle royal. The two that really stand out to me are Asuka and Ember Moon. I would rather they just have a friendly one on one match against one another just to show off their talent than be tossed into this battle royal.<\/p>\n<p>The second issue to me is that NXT isn\u2019t as represented as I was hoping for. With only an NXT Women\u2019s Championship match on the card, only Shayna Baszler and Kairi Sane will be representing NXT. If you really want to get picky we can also count Io Shirai and Toni Storm in the finals of the Mae Young Classic as well since they are both under contract now with WWE. Io Shirai is listed as a member of the NXT Roster while Toni Storm is a member of NXT UK. We also had the late addition of Rhea Ripley and Isla Dawn representing NXT UK. Even if you threw a few NXT women into the battle royal, how exciting would it be for people to see the next generation of women\u2019s wrestlers?<\/p>\n<p>I just think there could be some interesting spots between the main roster and NXT talent and WWE is missing the opportunity to do so. Even if half the fans who watch Evolution don\u2019t know who they are, they will when they move to the main roster, so this is a good opportunity to introduce someone like Dakota Kai or Bianca Belair to more fans.
