Seth Rollins</b></div></p><p> After getting caught up in the title picture over the last few weeks, these two highly talented athletes went head-to-head for the first time to kick off WCW Nitro. With the Men's Royal Rumble Match just a few days away. a victory would mean a surge of momentum for the winner, and after a hard-fought battle that had the crowd on the edge of their seats, it was El Idolo that was able to shock the world and score the victory with his signature Hammerlock DDT on The Kingslayer. Zelina Vega may have played a small part, distracting Rollins momentarily, but regardless, Almas holds a victory over The Architect, and that could mean big things for the up and coming competitor.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/hMzLnLt.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/hMzLnLt.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Hideo Itami def. Cedric Alexander</b></div></p><p> The heinous attack on Mustafa Ali last week showed an all-new side to Hideo Itami after losing the WCW Cruiserweight Championship Match. The hard-hitting cruiserweight laid out the new title holder, rendering him injured and unable to appear on this week's episode. Itami, however, took to the ring to compete, once again displaying his aggression with a victory over Cedric Alexander, courtesy of a Go To Sleep. After the bell, The International Sensation grabbed a microphone and began screaming in Japanese, the commentary team roughly translating it as a warning to the cruiserweight division. Hideo Itami has made himself very clear.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/BWzDbDh.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/BWzDbDh.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The War Raiders def. The Bar</b></div></p><p> With the tag team divisions across all three brands now heating up - the WWE Tag Team Champions being decided, and the ECW Tag Team Champions being crowned this week - WCW Nitro was looking to join the fight and moments before this intense contest, General Manager, Ric Flair revealed that next week, there would be a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Match to crown the first WCW Tag Team Champions, and two of the teams involved would be The War Raiders and The Bar. This week, they squared off against one another and it was Hanson and Rowe that walked out with the victory, isolating Cesaro and planting him with The Fallout. The War Raiders stood tall over their opponents looking strong heading into next week's title opportunity.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/0787Kur.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/0787Kur.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Kairi Sane crashes Carmella's Royal Rumble prediction</b></div></p><p> Carmella has never been one to shy away from self-promotion, and she came to the ring to do just that. The Princess of Staten Island claimed that she would walk out of the Women's Royal Rumble Match as the Women's World Champion, calling herself the "odds-on favourite". With her promise, she vowed that nobody could possibly outshine the diamond that she is, and completely dismissed the rest of the women's locker room. However, her egotistical rant was cut short by the arrival of another up-and-coming superstar, Kairi Sane. The Pirate Princess made her debut on WCW Nitro, taking down Carmella and delivering her Insane Elbow to her heart. Carmella quickly retreated as Sane stood tall, showing her that she isn't the only one worthy of walking away with the victory this Sunday.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/YEHU81X.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/YEHU81X.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Rey Mysterio def. Big Show via Countout</b></div></p><p> The World's Largest Athlete attacked Rey Mysterio two weeks ago, completely out of the blue. Tonight, Rey Mysterio returned for his measure of revenge on the giant, never one to back down from the larger adversary. Of course, it's always a mismatch when these two collide, but The Master of the 619 always finds a way to overcome the odds, and tonight was no different. The masked luchadore sent Big Show to the outside and leapt from the top to keep the big man down, but re-entered the ring and prevented the giant from following him with a dropkick, resulting in the referee counting to ten. The enraged Big Show entered the ring to get his hands on his much smaller opponent, only for Mysterio to escape with a smile on his face and the crowd behind him. He may have got one over on The World's Largest Athlete tonight, but come the Royal Rumble, it could be a different story.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/kr5M9g0.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/kr5M9g0.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Samoa Joe says he will cripple AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble</b></div></p><p> It's only a few days until Samoa Joe gets his shot at the WCW World Championship against AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble, and The Destroyer had a few harsh words for his long-time rival. Appearing on screen, the number one contender made a promise that not only would he walk out as the new WCW World Champion - which he believes should have been his in the first place - but he will cripple The Phenomenal One in the center of the ring. He isn't just out to take the title, but to make sure AJ Styles never sets foot in a wrestling ring ever again. The harrowing words of The Destroyer left many feeling uncomfortable as he stormed off the scene. Will The Samoan Submission Machine leave Styles laying as he says he will this Sunday?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/E3vAGnZ.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/E3vAGnZ.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Naomi def. Asuka</b></div></p><p> The ongoing rivalry between Asuka and Charlotte Flair continued to boil over with the Women's Royal Rumble just days away. The Queen made her presence felt in Asuka's bout with Naomi, acting as a distraction to cost The Empress of Tomorrow the match, allowing Naomi to roll her up for a shocking victory, putting her in good stead heading into the 30-women spectacular. After the match, an intense stare-down between The Queen and The Empress took place, perhaps a sign of things to come in the Royal Rumble Match. Will these two dominant females cross paths this Sunday? Could we be looking at the winner of the bout before our very eyes?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/jebBeAb.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/jebBeAb.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Good Brothers def. The Undisputed ERA</b></div></p><p> Earlier in the night, we saw The War Raiders defeat The Bar in a small preview of next week's Fatal 4-Way Tag Team bout for the WCW Tag Team Championships. This was match number two, the other half of that highly anticipated match. The rivalry between Shinsuke Nakamura, The Good Brothers and The Undisputed ERA came to a head last week in a Six-Man Tag Team Match, but tonight it was about the two teams involved in next week's contest, and it was Gallows and Anderson that walked away with the victory with The King of Strong Style in their corner. Hitting the Magic Killer on Kyle O'Reilly, they scored the win and will go onto next week's match with a full head of steam. Shinsuke Nakamura and the WCW United States Champion, Adam Cole will participate in the Men's Royal Rumble Match this Sunday. Will the result of this match play a part in their own momentum?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/C7UPLTM.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/C7UPLTM.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Velveteen Dream says he will overcome the odds this Sunday</b></div></p><p> He may have been given a punishment for his recent rebellious behaviour, forced to enter the Men's Royal Rumble Match at number one, but it hadn't dampened the ego of The Velveteen Dream whatsoever. The flamboyant superstar appeared to declare superiority over the entire locker room, and promised to do what everyone believes to be a mountainous task, winning the Royal Rumble Match from the opening bell. The Dream vowed to leave WCW Nitro in the dust when he wins the match, stating that it has never been good enough to host such a talent like himself, saying he intends to go to WWE Raw where the magic can be appreciated. And he ended his speech with a direct message to General Manager, Ric Flair, shockingly declaring himself "The New Nature Boy", and closing his segment with a "Woo!". Disrespect at its finest.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/aL34aoS.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/aL34aoS.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>WCW World Champion AJ Styles def. Dolph Ziggler</b></div></p><p> After the threats from Samoa Joe earlier in the night, it had to be playing on the mind of the WCW World Champion. But as the fighting superstar he is, AJ Styles continued to thrill in the main event against a game Dolph Ziggler. And despite the presence of Ziggler's ally, Drew McIntyre at ringside, The Phenomenal One was able to pick up the victory with a Phenomenal Forearm to head into the Royal Rumble event with momentum on his side. However, his victory was overshadowed by the arrival of his arch-rival who blindsided the Champion from behind, viciously assaulting the WCW World Champion just moments after his win. The Destroyer went on to drive Styles head-first into the ringpost, busting him wide open and leaving him in a heap on the outside. The Samoan Submission Machine picked up and raised the WCW World Championship above his head bellowing "This belongs to me!" as the crowd expressed their distaste. Joe had made the final move, and it doesn't look good for The Phenomenal One.</div></div></p><p> </p><p> <link href='<a href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'" rel="external nofollow">https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'</a> rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></p>

Kurt Angle made his return to WWE Raw and was revealed by Stone Cold as Daniel Bryan's challenger for the WWE World Championship at the Royal Rumble in what should be an instant classic. But before the dream bout can go ahead, a contract must be signed, and The Texas Rattlesnake felt that live on WWE Raw was the perfect place for it to happen. Austin opened the show to announce the contract signing for later in the show, while also revealing that tonight's main event would see Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and The Miz compete in a Triple Threat match after last week's events. But to kick things off, the General Manager announced that a place as one of the ten superstars in the Men's Royal Rumble Match was up for grabs in this opening contest.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/qPy4xGh.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/qPy4xGh.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Apollo Crews def. Shelton Benjamin, Titus O'Neil, Chad Gable, Jason Jordan & Heath Slater in an Over-the-Top-Rope Battle Royal to earn a place in the Men's Royal Rumble Match</b></div></p><p> A unique opportunity was up for grabs as the chance to become one of the 10 superstars representing WWE Raw in the Men's Royal Rumble Match. Six combatants went at it in an Over-the-Top-Rope bout to earn that right, and it was the impressive Apollo Crews that secured the place to potentially make history and go on to challenge for a World Championship. After an incredible showing in this unique contest, could Crews be the dark horse of the Men's Royal Rumble Match and go on to win it all unexpectedly? If anyone has the skill set to do it, it's Apollo Crews with his strength and speed combined. But with 29 other superstars vying for the victory, it will be an uphill struggle for the up and coming superstar.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/2iVdHEK.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/2iVdHEK.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Alexa Bliss def. Sasha Banks</b></div></p><p> Just six days remain before the Women's Royal Rumble Match, and all the momentum will help. The Boss looked to avenge her loss to Becky Lynch two weeks ago with a victory to head into the 30-woman bout with a full head of steam. But she must have forgotten who she was facing, because it's never that simple with Alexa Bliss. With Mickie James at ringside in the corner of her close friend, she played a vital role in Little Miss Bliss' win, tripping Sasha Banks up and allowing Bliss to hook the leg and use the ropes for extra leverage, stealing the victory and the momentum. Alexa and Mickie fled ringside as The Boss looked on in fury, having lost yet another match. Can Sasha Banks bounce back in the Women's Royal Rumble Match or is she destined to stay in this slump?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/2w7CpIw.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/2w7CpIw.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Revival def. The New Day to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships</b></div></p><p> The Revival didn't have long to bask in their glory as WWE Tag Team Champions before Stone Cold Steve Austin was finding them a pair of challengers, leading to The New Day becoming number one contenders last week with a win over The Usos and The Authors of Pain. Their title opportunity had arrived and the duo of Xavier Woods and Big E went into battle with Dash and Dawson as Kofi Kingston looked on from ringside. Unfortunately, it was going to take more than positivity to defeat The Revival, and thanks to a clever move from Scott Dawson that saw him send Big E flying from the apron into the arms of Kofi Kingston, they were able to deliver the Shatter Machine to an isolated Xavier Woods and retain their WWE Tag Team Championships. Their motto may be "No flips, just fists", but one thing there's plenty of is funny business. Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson left in celebration having successfully defended their gold for the first time.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/HbEwjqc.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/HbEwjqc.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Braun Strowman def. Gentleman Jack Gallagher</b></div></p><p> It's safe to assume that Braun Strowman might have heard what the Big Show said on WCW Nitro. Looking as angry as ever, The Monster Among Men made his way to the ring and annihilated Gentleman Jack Gallagher, planting him with three consecutive running powerslams before finally showing mercy and covering him for the victory. After the match, the big man took to the microphone and directly addressed The World's Largest Athlete. Strowman exclaims that the Big Show may very well be the giant of the wrestling industry, but he is The Monster, and it doesn't matter how big he is, he will always fall to The Monster. He guarantees victory in the Men's Royal Rumble Match and in the process, vows to eliminate the Big Show himself. Not for WWE Raw, not for anybody else, but just because he can. Godzilla and King Kong, eat your heart out. This could be the new clash of the titans.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/URYyFlS.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/URYyFlS.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>John Cena is interrupted by the Intercontinental Champion Bobby Roode</b></div></p><p> The Cenation Leader announced his entry into the Men's Royal Rumble Match last week, and is as determined as ever to walk out with yet another Rumble win. The former 16-time World Champion came to the ring tonight on WWE Raw to further address his entry into the 30-man spectacular, but before he could even get into his speech, he was cut off by a "glorious" interruption. The Intercontinental Champion, Bobby Roode emerged and immediately began verbally assaulting John Cena, claiming that he is washed up and has no business taking part in this year's Royal Rumble Match. The Glorious One declared that "John Cena" is a forgotten name, and that the new face of WWE is "Bobby Roode". Cena has never been one to let words harm him, and responded with a quip of his own, reminding Roode of one name that is perhaps more memorable than even that of Bobby Roode, and that is "Tyler Bate". The Intercontinental Champion scowled at the mere mention of Bate's name, having been a thorn in his side for weeks. Cena declared that Tyler Bate has got the upper hand of Roode on every single occasion, and it's only a matter of time before his "glorious" reign comes to an end. This infuriated Roode and The Glorious One tols the former World Champion to put his money where his mouth is, leading into an impromptu match.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/K3YHhku.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/K3YHhku.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>John Cena def. Intercontinental Champion Bobby Roode</b></div></p><p> Disrespecting John Cena is one thing, but underestimating him is another. The Glorious One may regret the night he crossed paths with the 16-time World Champion, as he suffered the fate of an Attitude Adjustment and a loss, being forced to eat his own words. However, it wasn't without some retribution from Roode's rival, Tyler Bate who came to ringside during the bout and became a distraction for the Intercontinental Champion. There's no telling whether Roode would have gone on to win the match has Bate not emerged, but regardless, the tables had been turned and now Roode was receiving a taste of his own medicine, turning into John Cena and being planted into the canvas for the three count. After the bell, John Cena invited Tyler Bate into the ring and raised his hand in celebration, endorsing the young superstar in a show of ultimate respect. The Intercontinental Champion scurried away with his title belt, knowing that sooner or later, Bate would get a fair shot, and when that time comes, it may not be so "glorious" for Bobby Roode.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/HxjA1EB.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/HxjA1EB.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Becky Lynch def. Alicia Fox</b></div></p><p> Alexa Bliss scored a victory of her own earlier in the night, heading into the Women's Royal Rumble with a full head of steam. Becky Lynch was looking to do the same, and did just that with a victory over Alicia Fox, forcing her to submit to the Dis-Arm-Her that has already picked her up victories in the past. After the match, The Man took to the microphone and declared her superiority over the rest of the women's division, vowing to walk away as the first Women's World Champion this Sunday. But as she left the ring and headed up the aisle, she was met by another worthy contender in Ronda Rousey. The Rowdy One and The Man came face-to-face in an intense staredown, knowing full well that come the Royal Rumble, they could be the ones vying for that victory at the end.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/hLRfRHB.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/hLRfRHB.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Miz def. Roman Reigns & Randy Orton</b></div></p><p> The weeks leading to this match have seen all three of these superstars cross paths, and finally, with the Royal Rumble Match just days away, we got the opportunity to see who could walk into the bout with the most momentum. All three of these former World Champions gave it their all to score the final victory on WWE Raw before the 30-man spectacular, but thanks to his devious ways and a little help from his wife, Maryse at ringside, The Miz was able to deliver a Skull-Crushing Finale to Randy Orton and pick up the victory. The A-Lister celebrated to the dismay of the WWE Universe, but his celebration wasn't long before it was cut short by an unexpected guest - The Big Red Monster, Kane. The big man made his way to the ring, causing The Miz and Maryse to flee through the crowd, leaving Orton and Reigns at the mercy of The Devil's Favourite Demon. He grabbed The Viper by the throat, planting him with a Chokeslam and then turned his attention to The Big Dog, but despite his best efforts, could not fight back and ended up being driven into the canvas with a Tombstone Piledriver. The Big Red Monster had made the message clear. He was coming to the Men's Royal Rumble Match, and he was going to bring with him hellfire and brimstone.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/ceBlhIN.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/ceBlhIN.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>WWE World Championship Contract Signing descends into chaos</b></div></p><p> Stone Cold Steve Austin announced this contract signing at the start of the show, hoping to get an official declaration from both men regarding their upcoming clash for the WWE World Championship at the Royal Rumble. Sure enough, both superstars attended and came face-to-face as The Texas Rattlesnake watched over the proceedings. Both men signed on the dotted line and the dream match was confirmed for this Sunday as "The New" Daniel Bryan collides with the Hall of Famer, Kurt Angle. But it wouldn't be a WWE contract signing without some carnage, right? Just as Stone Cold decided to take his leave with the documents in hand, Bryan decided to use his WWE World Championship to crack Angle over the skull, laying the number one contender out. It didn't stop there as he hoisted Angle onto the table and ascended the ropes, delivering a diving headbutt to put The Olympic Gold Medalist through it. Before Austin could get back to the ring and stop the attack, Bryan had already left through the ropes and retreated with his title raised above his head. The match is official, and all of a sudden it just became more personal.</div></div></p><p> </p><p> <link href='<a href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'" rel="external nofollow">https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'</a> rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></p>

And to decide that, Paul Heyman has decided that there will be a Three Way Dance in tonight's main event that will feature Finn Bálor, Sami Zayn and Rob Van Dam to determine that challenger.

However, he had some friends of his own as The Ascension came to his aid last week, resulting in this Six-Man Tag Team bout being made by Paul Heyman. With the odds evened, Black was able to overcome Eric Young's dangerous unit and defeated Alexander Wolfe with a Black Mass. As SAnitY reluctantly retreated, Eric Young grabbed a microphone to make an official challenge to Aleister Black for next week. Eric Young versus Aleister Black in a First Blood Match!

No Way Jose</b></div> It was a shocking turn of events when Drew Gulak revealed himself as the new manager of Lars Sullivan, claiming that their goal was to create a safer working environment for ECW. We were right to be sceptical, as The Freak once again went into action and destroyed No Way Jose with no care for his well-being. Sullivan sent The Dominican Dancing Machine over the ropes through a table to put a close to the match, completely going against what Gulak led us to believe. He celebrated with his newfound monster in the ring, having destroyed yet another extremist. Who is next on their list of victims as Lars Sullivan continues to run roughshod through The Land of Extreme?</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/wtiWxgy.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Dean Ambrose def. Kassius Ohno</b></div> Dean Ambrose's change of attitude took everyone by surprise, but it all stemmed from when he seemingly snapped and delivered a brutal beating to Jeff Hardy two weeks ago. Much like last week, The Lunatic Fringe issued another open challenge to any extremist who thought they could best him, and this time it was answered by Kassius Ohno. The Knockout Artist took Ambrose to the limit, but after a low blow and a Dirty Deeds into a steel chair, Ambrose was able to secure another victory. The crowd were less than please as The Lunatic Fringe gloated to them, but his moment of glory was cut short by the return of Jeff Hardy! The Charismatic Enigma exploded onto the scene in the Hammerstein Ballroom and sent his rival crashing to the outside, then launching himself over the ropes with an unbelievable dive. Dean Ambrose quickly scurried away from ringside with his tail between his legs as his high-flying adversary stood beckoning him for more. Jeff Hardy is back, and he's out for blood. Watch your back, Ambrose.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/tsvQeVA.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Paul Heyman issues another address, this time regarding the Women's Royal Rumble</b></div> There has been some uncertainty regarding ECW's participation in the Women's Royal Rumble Match. It's no secret that the female roster is fairly limited in The Land of Extreme, but Paul Heyman took to the camera once again to issue a statement regarding this bout. The Father of ECW vowed that ECW would have an equal presence at the Royal Rumble, regardless of what the current state of the roster might suggest. He promises that 10 female extremists will enter the match on ECW's behalf, just like WWE Raw and WCW Nitro will have. Heyman claims to have "something up his sleeve", and it's safe to say that everyone is intrigued to see his plans unfold.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/BkxHRc9.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Natalya & Dana Brooke def. The Riott Squad</b></div> Just moments after Paul Heyman's announcement that ECW would definitely participate in the Women's Royal Rumble Match, the female extremists took to the ring for tag team action. Eager to make an impact ahead of their inclusion in the unique opportunity match, they put it all on the line. Ruby Riott looked on from ringside as her allies, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan went into action against Natalya and Dana Brooke. The Queen of Harts was able to take control of the match and force Liv to submit to the iconic Sharpshooter in the center of the ring. Moments after the bell, Natalya and Brooke stood face-to-face and shook hands, showing respect before they compete with 28 other women in the Over-the-Top-Rope bout that will crown the first Women's World Champion of the "new era".</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/bcXRphD.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Rhyno def. Johnny Gargano</b></div> Turning his attention away from Rusev Day, Rhyno looked to the future and it doesn't get much more "future" than Johnny Gargano. After a brief confrontation backstage that saw Gargano disrespect the lineage of ECW and call Rhyno a "washed-up nobody", it led to this bout between the two. Johnny Wrestling learned the hard way that you don't call out a Man Beast in his own home as Rhyno ran through the young extremist and beat him with a thunderous Gore. With the Royal Rumble Match around the corner, Rhyno is sure to be one of the entrants representing The Land of Extreme, and if they're watching this now, then they know that they have one thing that they must do - avoid the Gore at all costs.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/oWpCVbg.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Dudley Boyz return as Paul Heyman announced ECW Tag Team Championship Match next week</b></div> Nobody has been able to topple the devastating duo of Harper and Rowan, The Bludgeon Brothers. Team after team have stepped up to the barbarian unit only to be taken down with relative ease. The pair took to the ring to declare their dominance over the ECW tag team division, claiming to have conquered the entire competition and demanding that they be rewarded with gold. The Father of ECW made yet another appearance, Paul Heyman coming out to confirm that The Bludgeon Brothers have indeed decimated each and every team placed before them. But they haven't defeated "every" team in ECW, revealing that next week, they will get their chance to claim the gold as they compete for the ECW Tag Team Championships against a very familiar duo. Suddenly, the Hammerstein Ballroom erupts as The Dudley Boyz emerge from out of nowhere, taking down The Bludgeons. And in the chaos, they were able to deliver their patented 3-D to Rowan, sending a clear message to the undefeated duo. Paul Heyman continues to pull it out of the bag, and now next week, The Bludgeon Brothers and The Dudley Boyz will collide to crown the first ECW Tag Team Champions! Holy shit!</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/zmp47RT.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Finn Bálor def. Rob Van Dam & Sami Zayn in a Three Way Dance to become the number one contender</b></div> The moment everyone had been waiting for, especially Kevin Owens who was about to find out who he will defend his ECW World Championship against at the Royal Rumble. Of course, best case scenario for Owens would be his best friend, Sami Zayn claiming the win, but it wasn't to be as he was eliminated first at the hands of Rob Van Dam who put him through a table with the Five-Star Frog Splash. With Zayn out of the picture, it was down to Finn Bálor and Rob Van Dam in an outstanding battle of talent. Near falls and risk-taking moves were no stranger in this one, but it was The Extraordinary Man's complete disregard for his own safety that landed him the win as he launched himself from the top rope down to the floor of the Hammerstein Ballroom to deliver a supersized Coup de Grace to The Whole F'n Show and secure the victory. After the match, Finn Bálor celebrated with the ECW crowd, and even received a pat on the back from RVD himself. The ECW World Champion, Kevin Owens made his way through the curtain and gave a glare to his challenger, raising the title above his head. These two will collide at the Royal Rumble, and it is sure to be nothing short of extreme.</div></div> <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

But once again the fans were left disappointed as he refused to compete and reiterated his statement from last week, that he will make his debut in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match. But this time, as he turned to leave the ring, he was cut off by the arrival of General Manager, Ric Flair. The Nature Boy expressed his disappointment in The Dream and informed him that his recent disobedience hadn't gone unnoticed, and as a result, he would be punished. The Velveteen Dream was told that he would indeed be allowed to debut in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match, but the catch? He will enter the match at number one! Not only that, but Naitch stated that if The Velveteen Dream doesn't win and remains on WCW Nitro, then he will be forced to compete each and every week or he will be suspended indefinitely. It seems that The Dream's egotistical plan has backfired.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/fZgm9Il.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/fZgm9Il.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Mustafa Ali def. Hideo Itami to become the new WCW Cruiserweight Champion</b></div></p><p> Both athletes picked up huge wins in Fatal 4-Way action last week to earn the right to compete for the vacant WCW Cruiserweight Championship. The first title holer would be crowned tonight, and if last week's events were anything to go by, Hideo Itami would be more aggressive than ever. He certainly was, and took Mustafa Ali to the limit, hoping to capture his first Cruiserweight Championship, showing no mercy for his adversary. But when Itami attempted a suplerplex from the top rope, he was thrown down to the canvas and this allowed Ali to deliver his awe-inspiring 045 Splash to pikc up the victory and secure himself the gold. The high-flyer stood tall in an emotional celebration, clutching his newly won title belt and paving the way for the Cruiserweight division here on WCW Nitro. Who will be the first to rise to the occasion and challenge him for the cruiserweight prize?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/HIK8BFq.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/HIK8BFq.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Shinsuke Nakamura & The Good Brothers def. The Undisputed ERA</b></div></p><p> The King of Strong Style came up short against Adam Cole last week, meaning that he would not become the first WCW United States Champion. However, it wasn't without controversy as the rest of The Undisputed ERA were heavily involved, making it almost impossible for Nakamura to walk out with the win. This week, he evened the odds with some friends of his own, seeking the help of fellow Japan combatants, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson - The Good Brothers. With them by his side, The Rockstar was able to get his measure of revenge on Adam Cole's three allies, disposing of Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong, leaving Bobby Fish to take the Kinshasa, giving Shinsuke Nakamura the victory. As the United States Champion, Adam Cole looked on from ringside, The King of Strong Style beckoned him into the ring, screaming "Come onnnnnnn" to the delight of the WCW crowd. However, Cole retreated with his Undisputed ERA cohorts and left us waiting just a bit longer for their second clash.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/cLSbf9F.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/cLSbf9F.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Are Seth Rollins and the WCW World Champion, AJ Styles on the same page?</b></div></p><p> It is revealed by the commentary team that tonight's main event will see the WCW World Champion, AJ Styles team up with Seth Rollins to take on the team of the number one contender, Samoa Joe and Andrade "Cien" Almas. In a backstage meeting, Styles and Rollins come face-to-face and discuss their upcoming bout, with both men stating that they want a piece of Samoa Joe. While The Phenomenal One claimed that he had a duty to get his hands on Joe ahead of their title clash at the Royal Rumble, The Architect stated that he had unfinished business with The Destroyer that needn't concern the WCW World Champion. With tensions growing, the question remains - can these two co-exist tonight to get the victory over their rivals?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/laK7MQy.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/laK7MQy.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Big Show def.

The World's Largest Athlete left the luchadore in a heap as officials and medical personnel rushed to his aid. This week, the giant took on another luchadore in Sin Cara, and destroyed the masked superstar with vicious intent. After connecting with the Knockout Punch, he picked up the victory and grabbed the microphone from ringside. The Big Show declared that what happened to Rey Mysterio last week is nothing compared to what he is going to do to the 29 other men in the Royal Rumble Match, and he doesn't give a damn if it's Rey Mysterio or even if it's WWE Raw's Braun Strowman. He exclaims that he is the only true giant in the wrestling industry, and says that there is nothing that will stop him from being the last man standing.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/uB0iXUX.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/uB0iXUX.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The IIconics def. Charlotte Flair & Asuka</b></div></p><p> They may have crossed paths last week with plenty of tension in the air, but much like AJ Styles and Seth Rollins later tonight, Charlotte Flair and Asuka must put their differences aside to take on The IIconics ahead of the Women's Royal Rumble. They appeared to be working well as a unit, but the combined efforts of Billie Kay and Peyton Royce were somehow able to topple The Queen and The Empress. But not without some miscommunication between Flair and Asuka. After a blind tag from The Queen frustrated Asuka at ringside, The IIconics capitalised and ran Charlotte into her partner, knocking her from the apron and rolling her up for the shock victory. Kay and Royce quickly fled ringside with smug grins on their faces as Charlotte Flair looked on in fury. Asuka wasn't too pleased either, glaring at her tag team partner from the outside. Things are going to explode when the Women's Royal Rumble comes around.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/Mv1U4ha.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Mv1U4ha.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Drew McIntyre def. Elias</b></div></p><p> Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler showed their dominance as a team last week, but this week was all about their individual strengths. As The Living Truth looked to pick up his first victory on WCW Nitro, he was unfortunately met by The Sinister Scot who took down his adversary with his signature aggressive offence and finished him off with the Claymore to put an end to Elias' night. After the match, The Scot Terminator declared that he and Dolph Ziggler would be entering the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match, and guaranteed that one of them would walk out as the winner, one way or another. If they remain united throughout the match, can anyone truly stop them from reaching the final two and going on to capturing the unique opportunity?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/0toBlwn.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/0toBlwn.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Hideo Itami viciously assaults Mustafa Ali backstage</b></div></p><p> What was supposed to be a night of celebration for Mustafa Ali after capturing the WCW Cruiserweight Championship at the start of the show, soon turned into a nightmare. Just as the new Champion was taking a moment to reflect on his monumental accomplishment, he was blindsided by the very man he beat - Hideo Itami. The somewhat psychotic competitor blasted Ali with a steel chair and repeatedly smacked it over the spine of his rival, screaming in Japanese as he does. Finally, he dropped the steel chair and walked away, glaring down at his motionless victim as officials entered the room to diffuse the situation. Hideo continued muttering in Japanese, but one snippet of his speech was clear as crystal - "Mustafa Ali... that Cruiserweight Championship is mine".</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/zHLsx7G.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/zHLsx7G.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Samoa Joe & Andrade "Cien" Almas def. WCW World Champion AJ Styles & Seth Rollins</b></div></p><p> The Destroyer secured his place as number one contender with a victory over Seth Rollins inside a steel cage last week, and looked to get an early momentum boost by defeating the WCW World Champion in tag team action. Somehow, he did just that and believe it or not, it wasn't due to a lack of cooperation between Styles and Rollins. The pair worked as a well-oiled unit against their adversaries, but when Zelina Vega got involved, resulting in Seth Rollins being taken out on the outside by Andrade Almas, this attracted the attention of The Phenomenal One and he fell victim to a Coquina Clutch. In a shocking turn of events, Samoa Joe forced the WCW World Champion to submit, claiming a victory over the man he will face at the Royal Rumble. The Destroyer stood tall and even snatched the title belt from the hands of the referee, holding it above his head himself with one foot on the chest of his opponent. Seth Rollins slowly climbed to his feet after been run into the steel steps by Almas, looking as angry as ever. Almas and Vega retreated with smug expressions as the show closed on Samoa Joe standing voer AJ Styles with the WCW World Championship held high.

But as has become synonymous with Cena, he hit the ring to announce that he will never give up.

But wasting no time, Stone Cold Steve Austin began the search for their first challengers, and in a Triple Threat bout that featured a second chance for The Usos, those contenders were indeed found. Does anyone like pancakes? The New Day were victorious after teaming with Jimmy and Jey to dispose of the dangerous AOP, and then turning their attention to each other. Seeing the opportunity, Kofi Kingston struck with the Trouble In Paradise on Jey Uso to score the victory for him and his team. Moments after the closing bell, the WWE Tag Team Champions emerged and The Revival gave a warning to their new contenders that there would be no chance of victory for them next week.

But General Manager, Stone Cold Steve Austin already has that covered, appearing on the titantron to reveal that he has found the ideal opponent for Daniel Bryan at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event.

Braun Strowman is no different, and he proved his worth with a victory in an 8-Man Over-the-Top-Rope Battle Royal last week, last eliminating a game Bobby Lashley for the win. The All-Mighty looked to get a measure of revenge against The Monster Among Men in a one-on-one contest this week, but Strowman was still on his momentous run, and ran through the former United States Champion, crushing him with a Running Powerslam to secure yet another victory.

And last week, Bate once again came within an inch of becoming the Intercontinental Champion until Roode once again decided to take the easy way out, using a steel chair on his adversary and saving his skin via disqualification. This week, Tyler Bate aligned with the impressive Chad Gable to yet again take on Bobby Roode, alongside Jason Jordan.

Tonight, the ever-impressive Ember Moon looked to pick up another victory, this time over former Champion, Paige. But with Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose of Absolution at ringside in her corner, The Raven-Haired Renegade had a distinct advantage, and although Ember Moon fought valiantly against the odds, she was unable to overcome them. She ascended the ropes to go for her Eclipse, but both Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville jumped to the apron to prevent her leaving the turnbuckle. She did eventually kick down Paige's allies, but the distraction was effective enough to allow Paige some time to recover and after pulling Moon from the top with an armdrag, she applied the devastating PTO and forced her into submission. Paige and Absolution reign supreme, and there's every chance that she could be the one to stand tall as the Women's World Champion.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/Ki3oSHw.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Ki3oSHw.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Kane def. Shelton Benjamin</b></div></p><p> We haven't seen The Big Red Monster since the opening round of the WWE World Championship Tournament. But he was certainly still lurking in the shadows for the prime opportunity to strike. The big man made his return to WWE Raw this week to take on Shelton Benjamin, and ultimately destroyed the former Intercontinental Champion with a show of aggression we haven't seen from Kane in a long time. One Chokeslam later and Kane was declared the victor, standing tall over his fallen foe. Has The Devil's Favourite Demon returned to put his name in the mix for the Men's Royal Rumble Match? If he has, good luck to the other 29 participants, because you're about to be taken through hell, fire and brimstone.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/X6vFhoy.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/X6vFhoy.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Randy Orton vs. The Miz ends in a no contest</b></div></p><p> The Viper had been eager to get his hands on The Miz after being knocked out of the WWE World Championship Tournament by him in the first round. Orton returned last week with a victory over Roman Reigns, and set his sights on The A-Lister immediately after. Finally getting the opportunity to get some revenge, he and The Miz went toe-to-toe in the main event, and it looked as though Orton was well on his way to securing a vengeful victory over his A-List adversary. However, it seems that he had ruffled the feathers of The Big Dog after a vicious match with him last week, and Roman Reigns emerged during the match to strike Orton with a thunderous Spear. The Miz smiled from ear-to-ear, mocking The Viper as he clutched his midsection on the canvas, but he soon realised that Reigns wasn't just here for Orton, and Miz was struck with a Spear of his own, rendering the match a no contest. The Big Dog stood over both superstars and howled with intensity. Roman Reigns has made a statement ahead of the Men's Royal Rumble Match, and both Randy Orton and The Miz were the objects of his message.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/6PNaDrk.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/6PNaDrk.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Kurt Angle returns to WWE Raw and is named the number one contender for the WWE World Championship</b></div></p><p> Stone Cold Steve Austin promised that Daniel Bryan would find out who his challenger for the WWE World Championship at the Royal Rumble would be, and boy did we find out in style. "The New" Daniel Bryan took to the ring to address Austin, claiming that no matter who he had chose as his opponent, nobody would be able to take the title away from him, because his lifestyle choices and his ability make him better than everybody else. The Texas Rattlesnake emerged on the stage and agreed that Bryan is one of the most talented athletes to set foot between the ropes, but there is always someone waiting to kick your ass when you get to the top. Suddenly, Daniel Bryan found himself hoisted into the air from behind and driven into the canvas by none other than Kurt Angle! The Olympic Gold Medalist returned to WWE Raw to deliver an Angle Slam to the WWE World Champion as Stone Cold announced that The Wrestling Machine would be Bryan's adversary at the Royal Rumble. With his tail between his legs, Bryan quickly fled ringside clutching his back and holding his title close as Angle made sure he got the message loud and clear - he's coming for the WWE World Championship. Daniel Bryan will have his hands full at the Royal Rumble - oh it's true, it's damn true!</div></div></p><p> </p><p> <link href='<a href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'" rel="external nofollow">https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'</a> rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></p>

Looking to teach Finn Bálor a lesson, Owens and Zayn opened this week's edition of ECW to issue a challenge to the thorn in their side, suggesting that he find a tag team partner for tonight's main event to take them on. Promising to eliminate Bálor once and for all, Owens stated that he would not let Finn Bálor or anyone ruin his time as ECW World Champion, and there's nobody on the planet that can take it away from him. And with a supportive bit of input for his best friend, Sami Zayn simply exclaimed - "Yep!". Will The Extraordinary Man be able to find himself an ally to go into battle against The Sami and Kevin Show?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/fbk9nt6.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/fbk9nt6.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Rusev def. Rhyno</b></div></p><p> The Man Beast came to the aid of Kassius Ohno last week in his battle against Rusev and Aiden English. This week, Rhyno went into singles action against The Bulgarian Brute with The Knockout Artist in his corner. Aiden English and Rusev's wife, Lana tried to get involved in the match, only to have Kassius Ohno step in and prevent them from interfering. However, the chaos created enough of a distraction to take Rhyno's attention away for long enough and as he attempted a Gore, he was met with a Machka Kick, grounding the ECW original and allowing Rusev to claim the victory. After the match, The Bulgarian Brute fled with his companions as Ohno checked on his fallen ally. Rusev Day was right back on schedule and the celebration continued up the aisle. It seems as though we may have to celebrate with them, like it or not.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/tB3F7b3.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/tB3F7b3.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Bludgeon Brothers def. Goldust & No Way Jose</b></div></p><p> For the third week in a row, The Bludgeon Brothers annihilate another team, and this one consisted of dancing sensation, No Way Jose and iconic superstar, Goldust. The oddball team looked to take down the barbarian duo and accomplish what no other team has yet been able to do, but it wasn't to be. Much like the two teams before them, they suffered the same bludgeoning and fell victim to The Reckoning which put The Bizarre One down for the count. The question is once again raised - who can defeat this destructive force, and is it even possible? So far, the answer is a very convincing "no", and there's no signs of that changing anytime soon.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/K4ZIsBY.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/K4ZIsBY.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Dean Ambrose declares ECW a "disgusting cesspool"</b></div></p><p> Once a beloved member of The Shield, Dean Ambrose has since become even more of a lunatic than ever before. The unhinged extremist came up short in the first week's ECW World Championship Match and a week later, vented his frustrations on Jeff Hardy in a barbaric bout that left The Charismatic Enigma in a heap. With a new look and a seemingly new attitude, The Lunatic Fringe made his way into the arena sporting a gas mask and completely blanking the members of the hardcore crowd. Upon grabbing a microphone, Ambrose declared ECW a "disgusting cesspool" and marked tonight as the beginning of the cleansing. He stated that he would take over The Land of Extreme and descend it into chaos until it implodes on itself, with him standing atop the carnage. Starting as he means to go on, Ambrose issued an open challenge to any ECW extremist in the back who wants to "dance with the devil" and meet their demise at his hands. The challenge was answered by determined Pete Dunne.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/wAqeaMG.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/wAqeaMG.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Dean Ambrose def. Pete Dunne</b></div></p><p> The Bruiserweight pulled no punches as he headed into the collision with Dean Ambrose, answering his open challenge here on ECW. He came out swinging and both men put on an incredible match which saw near falls and big moves here, there and everywhere. But Dunne's determination was not enough to combat Ambrose's even more psychotic new attitude, with The Lunatic Fringe unleashing a hellish beating with a steel chair on his British adversary before finally planting him head-first into the steel with a Dirty Deeds. Standing tall after claiming the victory, Ambrose looked down at his opponent and sadistically smiled before looking up and wiping his face with widened eyes. Is this the beginning of Ambrose's so-called "cleansing"?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/ZUX6WEt.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/ZUX6WEt.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Bray Wyatt def. Tye Dillinger</b></div></p><p> He warned us all. The Reaper has cometh. Bray Wyatt made his ECW in-ring debut against The Perfect 10 this week, and what transpired was nothing short of disturbing. The Eater of Worlds dismantled Dillinger without him getting so much as an ounce of offence in, destroying him from the get-go and showcasing some of his most disturbing behaviour yet. When the fight tumbled to the outside, Wyatt planted his adversary onto the arena floor with a Sister Abigail, causing even the most hardcore of ECW fans to cringe. He finally decided to roll his opponent back into the ring and it was there that he delivered a second Sister Abigail, after which he scored the pinfall and claimed the victory. After the closing bell, Wyatt grabbed a microphone and laughed maniacally before declaring that "Judgement day is upon us, and The Reaper has come to take your souls". With a flash of static, the arena was plunged into darkness. Bray Wyatt is back, and more sadistic than ever.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/Eo1Ku3x.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Eo1Ku3x.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Aleister Black vs. Killian Dain ends in a no contest</b></div></p><p> Continuing his search for revenge on SAnitY, Aleister Black took on The Beast of Belfast in singles action, and was able to keep the monster at bay for most of the bout. However, when The Dutch Destroyer looked to be closing in on a victory over SAnitY's big man, Eric Young and Alexander Wolfe jumped in and began to beat down Black in a merciless attack. The official was tossed from the ring in the carnage and the 3-on-1 assault continued with the ECW crowd watching on in horror. But suddenly, Aleister Black had some assistance on his side as Konnor and Viktor of The Ascension emerged to even the odds. The Wasteland Warriors came to Black's aid and helped him fend off SAnitY's attack, standing beside their fallen friend. The tables have turned and the odds have been evened. Aleister Black stood with Konnor and Viktor by his side and pointed out to Eric Young, making it clear that this was no longer a numbers game... this is war.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/YuDdmzj.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/YuDdmzj.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Lars Sullivan def. Oney Lorcan</b></div></p><p> The Freak made his debut last week, destroying Zack Ryder with ease. This week was much of the same, but there was a slight difference - Drew Gulak. Mysteriously, Gulak made his way to the ring beside Lars Sullivan and stood at ringside throughout the entire bout. Sullivan dismantled Oney Lorcan and planted him with the Freak Accident to secure the win. Moments later, he was joined in the ring by Drew Gulak for a celebration, and Gulak grabbed a microphone to clear up the confusion, revealing his allegiance with The Freak, claiming that Lars shares his own desire to make ECW a safer workplace. And anyone who objects will have to go through Lars Sullivan. Good luck.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/ceQWGeK.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/ceQWGeK.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Finn Bálor & Rob Van Dam def. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn</b></div></p><p> Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn might think twice before they make challenges to Finn Bálor again. After challenging The Extraordinary Man to a tag team match in tonight's main event, they tasked him with finding himself a tag team partner, and he delivered in an extreme way. Digging deep into the history of ECW, Bálor walked out and was followed by none other than former World Champion, Rob Van Dam. The Whole F'n Show hit the ring and immediately went to work on the best friend duo alongside his ally. The Prizefighter tried to combat RVD's offence, but instead decided to let Sami Zayn deal with the opposition, opting to stand at ringside. After Bálor hit a Slingblade on The Underdog from the Underground, he tagged in Van Dam who connected with his patented Five-Star Frog Splash for the victory. Rob Van Dam has returned home to ECW, and Kevin Owens now has two talented athletes to contend with. He and Zayn retreated, Owens clutching his ECW World Championship to his chest, as Bálor and RVD embraced and celebrated their victory.

WCW Nitro General Manager, Ric Flair opened tonight's show to call out The Destroyer, demanding an explanation for his actions, but Joe refused to cooperate, claiming that he "does what he wants, when he wants to". However, he soon felt the repercussions for his actions as Seth Rollins hit the ring and engaged in an all-out brawl with the man who cost him his golden opportunity. After security had separated the pair, The Nature Boy announced that they would collide in tonight's main event inside a Steel Cage to settle the score. And to add a little bit of extra spice, the winner will challenge for the WCW World Championship at the Royal Rumble!</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/usBTl2y.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/usBTl2y.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Adam Cole def.

Also receiving the opportunity was The Undisputed ERA's Adam Cole, and he didn't come alone. The King of Strong Style had to contend with Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong, as well as Adam Cole himself. The Rockstar came close to capturing the gold as he prepared to deliver the Kinshasa, but O'Reilly and Fish grabbed a leg each, preventing Nakamura from striking. The official sent them packing from ringside, but the distraction was enough for Cole to deliver a superkick and follow it up with The Last Shot, claiming the win. Quickly fleeing from ringside, The Undisputed ERA celebrate Cole's victory as Shinsuke Nakamura slowly came to. With the title in their possession, is this the beginning of their takeover of WCW Nitro?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/0aHsDZe.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/0aHsDZe.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre def.

The B-Team arrived to the delight of the WCW crowd, but they weren't so happy to see the duo of Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre. This dangerous alliance showed their ability in this bout, defeating Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel with a series of tandem moves, finally finishing them off with the Claymore/Zig Zag combination. After picking up the impressive victory, the pair grabbed a microphone and declared that no matter whether it is singles action or tag team actions, they plan to dominate and take over WCW Nitro piece by piece, finally taking what they believe to be theirs.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/wp3uSZW.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/wp3uSZW.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Mustafa Ali def.

The first of these two bouts featured Mustafa Ali, Akira Tozawa, Noam Dar and Tony Nese, all vying for a place in the big match next week. The Premiere Athlete and Akira Tozawa tumbled to the outside from the top rope leaving Ali and Dar in the ring.

However, we did gain more of an idea as to when we will eventually see the unorthodox superstar make his in-ring debut. He took to a microphone to reveal that he intends to debut in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match, claiming that it will be his ticket out of WCW Nitro. Vowing to win the iconic match, The Velveteen Dream states that when he is the last man standing, he will immediately make the jump to WWE Raw and escape the confines of the "B-brand hell".

Charlotte Flair defeat Naomi tonight with her patented Figure-Eight Leglock, but moments after the closing bell, The Empress of Tomorrow emerged to confront the victor. Time stood still as the two stared off, The Empress and The Queen, face-to-face.

And now knowing that he will either defend the gold against Seth Rollins or Samoa Joe at the Royal Rumble, he was undoubtedly looking to send a message to the both of them with an impressive victory. Andrade Almas debuted last week with a victory, but even he couldn't overcome The Phenomenal One in his top form, defeating El Idilo with the Styles Clash, despite Zelina Vega's best efforts to assist. After the match, Styles made a point of raising the title to the camera with a glare that was no doubt a message to his potential contenders.

Showing a brutal and aggressive offence, he took out all three of his adversaries with vicious kicks and crippling submissions before eventually putting Kalisto away with a Go To Sleep for the victory.

The Big Show chose this moment to make his WCW Nitro debut, grabbing Mysterio and throwing him into the stage setup. After demolishing his much-smaller target, he grabbed Mysterio by the throat and planted him into the stage with a Chokeslam. The WCW crowd made their voices heard, booing the giant out of the building, but all he did was look around with a snarl. It seems that The World's Largest Athlete had arrived just in time for the Royal Rumble Match.

A chaotic start to Nitro led to this Steel Cage Match being made by Ric Flair, with the winner going on to the Royal Rumble to challenge AJ Styles for the WCW World Championship. The bad blood between these two superstars stemmed from Joe's actions last week, costing Rollins his chance at becoming WCW World Champion. But the opportunity to redeem himself was in his hands, but the same opportunity was also in Joe's hands too. They tore each other part inside the confines of the steel, both men determined to earn their shot at AJ Styles. But when neither of them could escape the other, it came down to who could incapacitate the other, and it was The Destroyer who succeeded as he was able to plant The Architect with the Muscle Buster and secure the victory after a gruelling match inside the cage. Samoa Joe stood tall over his fallen adversary and raised his hand in victory, knowing he had the opportunity to now go on to face AJ Styles at the Royal Rumble for the WCW World Championship.

The former World Champion declared the "Yes Movement" officially dead, claiming that all it has brought him is failure in the last year since his in-ring return. Blaming his lack of success on the WWE crowd, Bryan stated that tonight is the night that he takes back what belongs to him and becomes the WWE World Champion. This unusual behaviour brought boos from the fans who have showed nothing but love for Bryan over the years. But regardless of their reaction, the self-proclaimed "New" Daniel Bryan marked tonight as a fresh start and vowed to vanquish John Cena and take his rightful place at the top where he belongs.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/QlkDZN0.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/QlkDZN0.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Revival def. The Usos to become the new WWE Tag Team Champions</b></div></p><p> After scoring victories in the past two weeks, The Revival earned the right to go up against another top team in The Usos for the vacant WWE Tag Team Championships. The two teams clashed to open WWE Raw, and went back-and-forth with the titles on the line. Just as Jimmy and Jey looked to be closing in on a win, Dash and Dawson began to use their devious tactics, with Dawson distracting the official while Dash Wilder grabbed one of the title belts and clocked Jey Uso over the head. With the advantage now in their hands and both Jimmy Uso and the official oblivious, they delivered the Shatter Machine to Jey and secured the victory before Jimmy Uso could break up the pin. The Revival are officially crowned the WWE Tag Team Champions, and they did it with no flips, just fists (and a title belt).</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/iGlhrY1.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/iGlhrY1.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Chad Gable def. Jason Jordan</b></div></p><p> American Alpha reunited last week and returned to tag team competition, but the reunion was short-lived when Jason Jordan abandoned his ally in a bout with The Revival. Looking to get some revenge on his former partner, Chad Gable issued a challenge to Jordan and Stone Cold Steve Austin granted it, leading to this match taking place tonight. Once again, Jordan attempted to escape harm by fleeing ringside, but Gable was having none of it and dragged the deserter back to the ring and planted him with an impressive O'COnnor Roll German Suplex, picking up the victory and avenging last week's loss. Now that his American Alpha past had been dealt with, could this be Chad Gable's opportunity to rise through the ranks?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/KzGtVsw.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/KzGtVsw.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Royal Rumble returns to feature all three brands of "The New Era"</b></div></p><p> Exclusively revealed tonight on WWE Raw, the classic event known as the Royal Rumble will return to feature WWE, WCW and ECW talent in just three weeks. The 30-Man Royal Rumble Match will also return, and it will also be alongside the 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match in which the official Women's Champion will be crowned. Which male superstar will earn themselves a main event Championship opportunity? And which female superstar will walk away as the first Women's Champion of the "new era"?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/0cfKX2Z.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/0cfKX2Z.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Becky Lynch def. Sasha Banks</b></div></p><p> The announcement of the returning 30-Womens Royal Rumble Match sent shockwaves through the female locker room, and the two superstars about to compete were dead set on proving their worth ahead of the historic event in just three weeks.This bout stemmed from Lynch's challenge just last week, and she made good on her promise to beat The Boss and force her into submission. The Man applied the Dis-Arm-Her on her opponents and Sasha had no alternative but to tap out, handing the fiery redhead the win. After the match, Becky Lynch would once again take to the microphone, this time warning the entire women's division across all three brands, vowing to win the Women's Royal Rumble Match and claim the Women's Championship.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/03EzYEu.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/03EzYEu.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Tyler Bate def. Intercontinental Champion Bobby Roode via disqualification</b></div></p><p> Last week, Bobby Roode was able to reign supreme in a Six-Pack Challenge to become the first Intercontinental Champion of the "new era", but it wasn't without controversy. The Glorious One used some underhanded tactics to defeat the impressive and determined Tyler Bate who came within inches of capturing the gold for himself. Roode's actions left a bitter taste in the mouths of the WWE fans, and most importantly, in Tyler Bate's. The British combatant challenged Roode to a one-on-one rematch tonight in hopes of winning the title he came so close to grasping last week, but once again, Roode made sure that it was he that walked out as Champion, brutally beating his adversary with a steel chair to get himself disqualified and therefore retain the title. After the official was able to pry the chair away from the Intercontinental Champion, The Glorious One left with a smug grin across his face as the referee tended to Tyler Bate.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/EHOHnZl.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/EHOHnZl.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Braun Strowman wins an 8-Man Over-the-Top-Rope Battle Royal</b></div></p><p> Unfortunately for Braun Strowman, he was knocked out of the WWE World Championship Tournament last week by John Cena. But it would take more than that to stop The Monster Among Men, who destroyed seven other superstars in an 8-Man Over-the-Top-Rope Battle Royal, set up by Stone Cold as a Royal Rumble preview of sorts. Shelton Benjamin, Curt Hawkins, Apollo Crews, "Woken" Matt Hardy, Titus O'Neil, Heath Slater and finally even Bobby Lashley met their demise at the hands of the big man. Strowman and Lashley remained as the final two and The All-Mighty came close to toppling the giant, but he too found himself thrown over the ropes and down to the floor, with Strowman claiming the victory. When it comes to the 30-Man Royal Rumble in three weeks, who will be able to tip The Monster Among Men over and out, if anyone?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/rASZIcX.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/rASZIcX.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>John Cena responds to Daniel Bryan's statement</b></div></p><p> What Daniel Bryan said at the top of the show was never going to go unnoticed by John Cena, and the 16-time World Champion decided to respond as only he can. Firstly, he reminded "The New" Daniel Bryan that the fans are what made him so popular, just like they made John Cena, just like they made every other superstar that goes out to the ring. Secondly, The Cenation Leader went on to explain that tonight is about the World Championship, and if he can stop it ending up in the hands of someone who can turn their back on the WWE fans in the blink of an eye then he will. Glaring into the camera, Cena promised that tonight he would be fighting for everyone who Bryan has left feeling betrayed.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/h2uoUyF.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/h2uoUyF.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Randy Orton def. Roman Reigns</b></div></p><p> The Big Dog redeemed his departure from the WWE World Championship Tournament with a victory over Bobby Lashley last week, and he looked to continue his momentum with another win. However, it wasn't to be as he came into contact with The Viper. Roman Reigns took Orton to the limit and almost finished him off with a Spear, but in typical "outta nowhere" fashion, The Apex Predator sprung into action with an RKO and finished off the former Hound of Justice. Conspicuous by his absence last week, Randy Orton returned with a vengeance and found success against Reigns. But something seemed different, and The Viper appeared to be a bit more focused than usual. Could Orton's loss at the hands of The Miz on the premiere episode have triggered something inside of this dangerous superstar?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/Ae19agD.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Ae19agD.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Bayley, Ronda Rousey & Ember Moon def. Mickie James, Alexa Bliss & Nia Jax</b></div></p><p> The Women's Royal Rumble Match will be the biggest opportunity yet for the female superstars of all three brands, but WWE Raw's superstars were looking to get some momentum ahead of time in Six-Woman Tag Team action. The different elements mashed into one chaotic battle made this one an entertaining bout, but it was Bayley's time to shine this week as she was able to plant former Women's Champion, Mickie James with the Bayley-to-Belly and secure the victory for her team. After the match, she celebrated with Ronda Rousey and Ember Moon as Alexa Bliss and Nia Jax helped Mickie away from ringside. But the celebration soon became an afterthought as the three superstars in the ring turned to each other and the tension rose, realising that in three weeks it would indeed be every woman for herself.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/d6j0vQx.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/d6j0vQx.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Daniel Bryan def. John Cena to become the WWE World Champion</b></div></p><p> "The New" Daniel Bryan is now your new WWE World Champion, much to the dismay of all those who he had turned his back on. The finals of the WWE World Championship Tournament ended tonight as Bryan took on former 16-time World Champion, John Cena in a titanic clash for the coveted gold. Bryan's new attitude shone through as he did what it took to keep The Cenation Leader at bay, no matter the cost. He came close to leaving empty handed when Cena hit him with the Attitude Adjustment, but his new attitude still gave him the same fight and resilience as before as he kicked out at the last second. Cena attempted to lock in the STF and force Bryan into submission, but after escaping, Bryan hit the running knee and applied The Yes Lock on his adversary, hoping to do the unthinkable and make Cena tap. Shockingly enough, he succeeded. The man who says "never give up" had no alternative but to submit to the horror of the WWE crowd. The new WWE World Champion snatched his title from the clutches of the official and stared into it with a maniacal grin. John Cena sat on the ring apron with his head in his hands, devastated that he had let it slip through his fingers. But whether you like it or not, the era of Daniel Bryan is upon us. But not the one many would have hoped, because one fact overshadows all of that - Yes is dead.</div></div></p><p> </p><p> <link href='<a href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'" rel="external nofollow">https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'</a> rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></p>

The Extraordinary Man opened this week's edition of ECW to call out the devious duo and challenge Kevin Owens to a fair rematch tonight, but when Owens and Zayn emerged, The Prizefighter refused to face Bálor, claiming that he had his chance last week and failed. Just as they were about to leave, however, Paul Heyman emerged and stopped the best friend in their tracks. The Father of ECW declared that while Owens may be right, and Bálor did have his opportunity last week, he's going to give him the chance to earn it again, in tonight's main event - against Sami Zayn! Safe to say, that didn't go down well with the ECW World Champion or his companion.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/SoUVUsH.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/SoUVUsH.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Dean Ambrose def. Jeff Hardy</b></div></p><p> Finn Bálor wasn't the only one screwed out of the ECW World Champion, as both Dean Ambrose and Jeff Hardy were a part of the crowning bout. As a way to let off some steam, both men were thrust into a singles match and both extremists looked to redeem last week's loss and pulled out everything but the kitchen sink. The Charismatic Enigma did what he does best and threw caution to the wind, trying to put Ambrose away with everything possible. But at one point, the tables turned and The Lunatic Fringe decided to play Hardy at his own game, climbing a ladder and throwing himself into his adversary, through a table to secure the victory. With a deranged look in his eye, Dean Ambrose looked around the crowd and looked back at Hardy before picking him up and planting him with a Dirty Deeds for good measure. Ambrose left ringside, leaving Hardy in a heap as the show continued.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/96I3cJ2.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/96I3cJ2.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Lars Sullivan def. Zack Ryder</b></div></p><p> ECW has always had its fair share of freaks, but perhaps none as inhuman as this man. Lars Sullivan made his debut in The Land of Extreme in a match with Zack Ryder, with only one thing in mind - eliminate. The Long Island Iced-Z didn't stand much of a chance as he was bulldozed by the big man and eventually planted with the Freak Accident, giving Sullivan the victory. Making an immediate impact, The Freak stood tall on ECW and sent a physical message to the entire locker room. Lars Sullivan is not the beast to mess with.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/POv686N.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/POv686N.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Ruby Riott def. Natalya</b></div></p><p> Whoever said that women can't be extreme? Tell that to Ruby Riott and Natalya who had the first female match of the "new era" in ECW. With her Riott Squad allies at ringside, Ruby Riott took control of the match, but The Queen of Harts battled back and fought valiantly to overcome the odds. However, the numbers game came into play when Liv Morgan handed Ruby a steel chair and she used it to crack Natalya over the skull, following it up with a Riott Kick for the victory. The Riott Squad stood tall over the fallen second generation extremist and celebrated, sending a message to the WWE and WCW women's locker rooms that The Land of Extreme has some vixens of its own.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/hNIRoVY.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/hNIRoVY.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Bludgeon Brothers def. The Colóns</b></div></p><p> If you missed the demolition display of The Bludgeon Brothers last week, this is your chance to witness it again. The Ascension fell victim to the barbarian duo last week, but it was The Colóns that suffered the same fate tonight. Primo and Epico were unable to garner any offence against the big men and Primo ultimately fell victim to The Reckoning, finishing him and his cousin off. The hammer-wielding pair stood tall over the destruction and glared out into the ECW crowd. Another team stepped up, and another team was knocked back down. Will anybody be able to rise up to The Bludgeons?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/MnC6uPv.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/MnC6uPv.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Johnny Gargano def. Aleister Black</b></div></p><p> They warned him it wouldn't be forgotten, and it wasn't. Aleister Black went into action against Johnny Gargano on ECW, but his past came back to haunt him as SAnitY emerged for revenge after last week's defeat. Eric Young led his unit to ringside as Alexander Wolfe and Killian Dain jumped onto the ring apron to distract The Dutch Destroyer. This provided an opening for Johnny Wrestling to leap up and lock Black in a crucifix for a quick pinfall, escaping before his adversary could respond. Having cost Black the match, SAnitY descended on the ring and brutally beat down the man who defeated Eric Young last week, leaving him laying. Last week was a verbal warning, but this one was physical. Although, Aleister Black isn't one to forgive or forget, and soon the tables may turn.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/vbzSYej.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/vbzSYej.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Bray Wyatt has a sinister message for the ECW locker room</b></div></p><p> Momentarily, the broadcast was hijacked by a sinister being known as Bray Wyatt. The Eater of Worlds appeared on the titantron to issue a sinister message from the infamous Wyatt Compound. With a sadistic cackle, he warned the ECW locker room that it would soon be time to meet their maker and suffer the consequences of their sins. Promising to lead everyone to "the promise land", Wyatt declared himself judge, jury and executioner to all, and vowed to grace us with his physical presence on ECW next week. The Face of Fear made his message crystal clear, and next week we would see the self-proclaimed "reaper" in person.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/8Pt0ggC.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/8Pt0ggC.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Kassius Ohno & Rhyno def. Rusev & Aiden English</b></div></p><p> With Rusev Day truly back in full force, Kassius Ohno had the numbers game against him last week. But tonight, he found himself his own ally in ECW original, Rhyno. With the help of The Man Beast, The Knockout Artist was able to put a dampener on Rusev Day and knock Aiden English out with the KO Elbow as Rhyno would then keep The Bulgarian Brute at bay. Lana and Rusev left ringside in rage as Ohno and Rhyno stood over The Artiste. Having got his revenge, Ohno embraced his extreme ally and the pair celebrated in victory. It seems that Rusev Day may very well have to be rescheduled.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/AnPV0jH.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/AnPV0jH.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Finn Bálor def. Sami Zayn</b></div></p><p> Stemming from last week's controversial events, and a confrontation at the start of the show, this main event was highly anticipated. The ECW World Champion, Kevin Owens joined commentary as his best friend, Sami Zayn went head-to-head with Finn Bálor. The action went back-and-forth for the most part, but the determination and drive of Bálor helped him push through, evading a Helluva Kick attempt and dropping Zayn with a Slingblade before delivering his Coup de Grace for the victory. The Extraordinary Man gave a glare towards Kevin Owens in the commentary booth and motioned that he would be coming after the ECW World Championship. The Prizefighter looked on with a scowl and raised his title above his head. When will these two be allowed to clash for the prestigious gold?</div></div></p><p> </p><p> <link href='<a href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'" rel="external nofollow">https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'</a> rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></p>

The Living Truth opened the show to the delight of the crowd, performing a special song dedicated to the history of the WCW brand. Just as the fans were starting to get into it, Elias was cut off by the arrival of The Top 1% - EC3. The reception wasn't great as he made his way to the ring, Elias giving him a glare for interrupting him. The young superstar confronted The Songsmith and informed him that his services would no longer be required because The Top 1% has arrived. Unfortunately, interrupting Elias may not have been his wisest move as he was hit with a right hand and moments later, we received word that an impromptu match had been booked by General Manager, Ric Flair.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/S0o1zuz.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>EC3 def.

Either way, EC3 took the fight to The Living Truth and although Elias looked to get revenge for the rude interruption, it was The Top 1% who walked away with the victory after hitting The One Percent and hooking the leg for the three count. EC3 came out looking to make a name for himself, and it looks as though he did just that. Whether you like him or not, he just showed everyone why he calls himself The Top 1%, and it was a tune that Elias had no option but to listen to.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/Qbouvyp.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Bar def. Lucha House Party</b></div> The tag team division was showcased last week by The Undisputed ERA and The Good Brothers, but this week, two new teams had the chance to dance in the spotlight. Cesaro and Sheamus displayed their aggressive offence as they took on Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado of Lucha House Party. Kalisto watched from ringside as his masked companions were dismantled by the former Tag Team Champions, and after a brutal onslaught, it was Gran Metalik that met his fate to an assisted Brogue Kick giving The Bar the win. Last week's bout was impressive, but you could say that Sheamus and Cesaro may have just set "the bar".</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/IAYBm3y.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Samoa Joe demands to be added to tonight's WCW World Championship Match</b></div> Last week, Samoa Joe came up short against Seth Rollins in the main event and lost out on the opportunity to compete for the WCW World Championship tonight. But this didn't stop The Destroyer from confronting General Manager, Ric Flair and demanding to be added to the match, claiming to be the "only true deserving Champion". The Nature Boy wasn't going to be intimidated and reminded Joe that he had lost fair and square to Rollins last week, and if he wants a shot at the title, he will have to earn it after tonight. This didn't sit well with The Samoan Submission Machine as he got in Flair's face and told him that he would make him regret not making him WCW World Champion. Joe left, leaving Flair shaking his head.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/igk83lP.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Asuka def. Carmella</b></div> The Empress of Tomorrow was eager to make her own mark on WCW Nitro after seeing Charlotte Flair score a victory last week over Billie Kay. Carmella tried her hand at knocking off the former Women's Champion, but she was no match for Asuka's dominance and had no alternative but to submit to the Asuka Lock. After the match, Asuka took to the microphone and made her intentions clear - she intends to become the Women's Champion. Which other female superstars will step forward to state their claim to the Women's title in the future?</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/0d1qzXO.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Shinsuke Nakamura def. Chris Jericho</b></div> After both came up short in their attempts to become WCW World Champion last week, they were booked to compete against one another tonight with General Manager, Ric Flair promising a "special" opportunity for the winner of the match next week. What that opportunity is, nobody knows, but the reward was enough to motivate both competitors. Chris Jericho came close to taking Nakamura out with a Codebreaker, but when The King of Strong Style had the wherewithal to reverse it, he was able to hit the Kinshasa and secure the victory, therefore earning himself Flair's mystery opportunity. Nakamura and the rest of the crowd will have to wait until next week to find out what it is, but WCW's Rockstar will definitely be a part of it one way or another.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/xQPisNp.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The War Raiders def. TM-61</b></div> Continuing to showcase the tag teams that WCW Nitro has acquired, this match saw the War Raiders clash with TM-61 in a hard-hitting battle. The quick and agile Nick Miller and Shane Thorne were able to avoid any serious offence early on, but once Hanson and Rowe got their hands on them, it was game over. The barbarian pair dominated the competition and finished off Nick Miller with their signature Fallout to secure the victory. The War Raiders celebrated with the crowd and looked as impressive as ever. Moments after their victory, we were shown The Undisputed ERA backstage, watching on a monitor. Could we see these two teams cross paths in the near future?</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/T9Daxn7.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Velveteen Dream once again refuses to compete on WCW Nitro</b></div> Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. But you can hardly blame the WCW fans from getting excited to see The Velveteen Dream in action, only for him to give them yet another slap in the face, refusing to perform for them and claiming to be "worth more than what they pay". A brief speech from The Dream revealed that he specifically requested not to be drafted to WCW Nitro, calling it "The B-League" and declaring Nitro "below his pay grade". He left the fans disappointed for the second week in a row, and we were left wondering just when his disrespectful actions will be dealt with.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/0n1zg8u.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Andrade "Cien" Almas def. R-Truth</b></div> El Idolo made his in-ring debut on WCW Nitro this week, defeating R-Truth. With Zelina Vega by his side, Almas showcased his unreal ability to the crowd, but unfortunately we also saw some of his dirty tactics. A distraction from Vega at ringside allowed Almas to set up and deliver his Hammerlock DDT for the win. The pair celebrated to a mixed reaction from the crowd, but all they cared about was success. With many other talented performers part of the Nitro brand, where will Almas fit in?</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/9iyrHB1.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>AJ Styles def. Rey Mysterio & Seth Rollins to become the new WCW World Champion</b></div> It had finally arrived, and three superstars squared off to crown the first WCW World Champion of the "new era". Having all qualified for this bout, all were determined as ever to walk away with the prestigious prize. As all three men put on their best display of ability to try and capture the gold, it looked as though Seth Rollins was the one that would be walking away as Champion as he closed in on a win with his signature Stomp. But before he could hit the move, he was blindsided by Samoa Joe! The Destroyer came out of nowhere and viciously assaulted The Architect, dismantling him on the outside and putting him through the announce table with a powerslam. As Joe stood over his fallen foe, AJ Styles gained the advantage inside the ring and hit a Styles Clash on The Master of the 619 to secure the victory and the WCW World Championship. Although shrouded in controversy, The Phenomenal One leaves with the gold, and everyone else is left with questions for Samoa Joe.</div></div> <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Both men overcame the odds last week to advance to this point in the tournament, but even The A-Lister couldn't outsmart Daniel Bryan and suffered a painful Yes Lock, forcing him to submit as Maryse looked on in horror. "The New" Daniel Bryan stood tall over his fallen foe and looked towards the hard camera, giving a warning to the winner of John Cena and Braun Strowman later tonight, promising that nothing will stop him from recapturing the WWE World Championship.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/PvuaeOA.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/PvuaeOA.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Becky Lynch def.

Tonight, Becky Lynch looked to step into the spotlight and she did just that, forcing Ember Moon to submit to the Dis-Arm-Her and claimed a victory. After the match, "The Man" grabbed a microphone and issued a challenge to Sasha Banks, claiming that it should have been her getting the spotlight on the premiere episode last week.

Even more so when they discovered what exactly he wanted to say. The General Manager of WWE Raw explained that he had seen WCW Nitro and ECW TV, claiming to be impressed. But he explained that Raw won't be outdone by them, and reveals that there will be a Six-Pack Challenge for the WWE Intercontinental Championship - and it's coming up next! Oh hell yeah!</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/WruvUiz.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/WruvUiz.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Bobby Roode def. Tyler Bate, Apollo Crews, Shelton Benjamin, "Woken" Matt Hardy & Big E in a Six-Pack Challenge to become the WWE Intercontinental Champion</b></div></p><p> Just moments after the huge announcement by Stone Cold, the six competitors made their way to the ring and chaos ensued. Bodies were flying everywhere, and even the rest of The New Day ended up getting involved alongside their partner, Big E who was a competitor in the match. "Woken" Matt Hardy looked to delete the competition, but was taken out by Shelton Benjamin with a Paydirt. Apollo Crews looked impressive as he took out several superstars, but was sent crashing to the arena floor by Big E. This left Bobby Roode and Tyler Bate battling it out for the prestigious gold, and the young Brit looked like a true superstar, coming within inches of the Intercontinental Championship with the entire crowd behind him. But in a despicable act, The Glorious One delivered a low blow to Bate, showing his desperation, and planting him with the Glorious DDT to secure the victory. The crowd made their disappointment heard but Roode was only concerned with one thing, and that's winning the Intercontinental Championship. But his method was far from "glorious".</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/lSksKGc.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/lSksKGc.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Revival def. American Alpha</b></div></p><p> The Revival were victorious last week over The New Day, stamping their mark on WWE Raw's tag team division. Tonight, Chad Gable and Jason Jordan reunited to reform American Alpha to try and take out Dash and Dawson and cut their momentum short. However, it wasn't to be as Jason Jordan turned his back on his former partner, making this reunion short-lived, leaving Gable to suffer a Shatter Machine and The Revival claimed another victory. After the match, The Usos appeared on the titantron and issued a challenge to The Revival for next week, claiming that they had already been to Stone Cold and got it authorised. And as if that wasn't big enough, it'll be for the WWE Tag Team Championships! Next week will be huge.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/9xv3oyI.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/9xv3oyI.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Roman Reigns def. Bobby Lashley</b></div></p><p> Both of these men came up short in their matches as part of the WWE World Championship Tournament, but this didn't stop them still wanting to gain some momentum heading forward. These two powerhouses collided with their pride on the line, hoping to put their name in the mix for a future title shot down the line. The All-Mighty tried to hit his own Spear on The Big Dog, but it was ultimately Roman Reigns who delivered the killing blow and put Lashley away. With a victory under his belt, the former Hound of Justice looked to be ready for any and all comers, but where does he go from here?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/oa3ajgC.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/oa3ajgC.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Ronda Rousey def. Paige</b></div></p><p> The focus of the women's division has recently been on Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch, but you can't forget the ever-dominant Ronda Rousey. The former Champion went into battle against a returning Paige, who also had her Absolution allies, Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville at ringside. But even that wasn't enough to stop The Rowdy One from decimating the competition. After planting Paige with the Rowdy Buster, she applied the devastating Cross Armbar and forced Paige into submission, sending Absolution into retreat. Ronda Rousey just added her name to the conversation, and the entire women's division has definitely been put on notice. Ronda is here, and she's taking no prisoners.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/8VIz4fc.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/8VIz4fc.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>John Cena def. Braun Strowman to advance to the finals of the WWE World Championship Tournament</b></div></p><p> The stage has been set. Daniel Bryan was able to secure his spot in the finals earlier in the night, and all that was left was to find out who his opponent would be, and that came down to a match between John Cena and Braun Strowman. The Monster Among Men proved to be one of the toughest foes for the 16-time World Champion, throwing Cena around as though he was a cruiserweight. Somehow, Cena was able to kick out of the Running Powerslam, much to Strowman's fury, but perhaps the anger took his mind off the game and John Cena did what he does best and came back with a shock Attitude Adjustment, planting the big man in the center of the ring and picking up a huge victory, placing him in the finals of the WWE World Championship Tournament next week. John Cena will take on Daniel Bryan for the coveted gold in the main event of next week's episode of Raw. Who will walk out as the Champion?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/aE5ObVh.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/aE5ObVh.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>"The New" Daniel Bryan viciously assaults John Cena</b></div></p><p> Moments after the closing bell, during John Cena's celebration, Daniel Bryan made a shocking appearance and viciously assaulted his opponent for next week. "The New" Daniel Bryan unleashed a brutal attack on the 16-time World Champion and finished it off with a stiff running knee to the face, laying Cena out. Standing tall at the end of the night, Bryan looked into the camera once again and declared that he would become the WWE World Champion next week, and that John Cena's fate is already sealed. Only time will tell if what he's saying is indeed the truth.</div></div></p><p> </p><p> <link href='<a href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'" rel="external nofollow">https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'</a> rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></p>

Forget HD production value. This is extreme, and it's all about the blood, sweat and tears! ECW returns to TV, taking the "new era" to a whole new world known as The Land of Extreme. ECW will showcase its unique brand of entertainment to the hardcore faithful and go head-to-head with the two giants, WWE Raw and WCW Nitro. While the aforementioned brands had the advantage of going up first, ECW didn't back down and instead took the fight to the competition. Four men will compete in the main event to determine the first ECW World Champion - in a Ladder Match! Prepare to be taken to the extreme!</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/VYW4qYa.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Aleister Black def. Eric Young</b></div> Getting right into the action, Aleister Black had to take on Eric Young with the rest of SAnitY at ringside. Alexander Wolfe and Killian Dain tried their best to make sure their leader walked away with the victory, but it would take more than being outnumbered to stop The Dutch Destroyer and he was able to lay Young out with the Black Mass to pick up the win, solidifying his place in ECW. SAnitY reluctantly retreated but not without giving Black a warning that they wouldn't forget about this. Black needs to watch his back from here on out.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/rt2kSDy.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Rhyno def. Drew Gulak</b></div> There's nothing like a good old ECW original, and Rhyno is exactly that. The Man Beast returned home to The Land of Extreme and came face-to-face with Drew Gulak who was adamant that he would not be competing on such a barbaric brand. But unfortunately for him, he didn't get chance to leave as he found himself at the mercy of Rhyno. After a vicious beating, Rhyno drove Gulak through a table in the corner with a thunderous Gore for the victory. The Man Beast is back where he belongs, and he's looking better than ever.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/NVxwige.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Bludgeon Brothers def. The Ascension</b></div> It's one thing to be extreme, but it;s another to be as dominant as The Bludgeon Brothers. Harper and Rowan arrived in The Land of Extreme and took on The Ascension in tag team action, but Konnor and Viktor couldn't knock off the dominant pairing, despite their successful history. After disposing of Viktor, the monsters were able to isolate Konnor and plant him with The Reckoning to secure the victory. These barbarians stood tall in victory and looked around the arena, surveying the carnage. Is there any team on ECW that could stop these two monstrous competitors?</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/xDEZJLP.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Father of ECW returns home to be General Manager of the extreme</b></div> It wouldn't be ECW without the mastermind behind it all, Paul Heyman. The Father of ECW returned to his own brand to regain control under the "new era" and the fans were happy to see him. Heyman declared that the heart of ECW was still very much beating thanks to the hardcore fans and he thanked them for their support. Discussing tonight's main event, Heyman revealed that it would feature Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens, Jeff Hardy and Finn Bálor with the winner becoming the first ECW World Champion. "This isn't WWE Raw, it isn't WCW Nitro, this is E-C-****ing-W!" he declares to the delight of the crowd. The Land of Extreme is most definitely open for business.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/nbC6LJq.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Johnny Gargano def. Pete Dunne</b></div> ECW has always been about showcasing brand new talent and bringing it to the mainstream eye, and this is exactly what this match was about. While they have already made names for themselves, they fit the bill in ECW as underappreciated talents, and both Johnny Gargano and Pete Dunne tore the house down in this one. The Bruiserweight left Gargano in a heap on multiple occasions with his aggression and physical offence, but a small opening allowed Johnny Wrestling to strike with a superkick and put an end to Dunne's night, picking up the win. With the ECW crowd behind him, Gargano celebrated and looked to the future, and would surely be watching closely at tonight's ECW World Championship bout.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/ftsg2gb.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Rusev def. Kassius Ohno</b></div> It seems as though Rusev Day is back on, as Aiden English and Lana joined Rusev at ringside for his match with Kassius Ohno. It was their presence that arguably allowed Rusev to score the win over The Knockout Artist, despite his determination to defeat The Bulgarian Brute. When Lana jumped onto the ring apron, Rusev saw the opportunity and struck with his Machka Kick, followed by the devastating Accolade which gave Ohno no choice but to submit. After the match, Rusev took to the microphone to declare his presence in ECW and announced that every day from here on out would be Rusev Day.</div> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/ypVjTDV.png"><div style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Kevin Owens def. Finn Bálor, Dean Ambrose & Jeff Hardy in a Fatal 4-Way Ladder Match to become the new ECW World Champion</b></div> This highly anticipated matchup tore the house down and was exactly what ECW stands fore - extreme. These four worthy contenders collided in a brutal Ladder Match with all four getting their fingertips on the title belt at some point in the match. But after Jeff Hardy and Dean Ambrose had crashed and burned from the top through a pair of tables, it was left down to Kevin Owens and Finn Bálor. The pair traded blows atop the ladder but KO apparently had an ace up his sleeve, and that ace was none other than Sami Zayn! His best friend made his presence felt on ECW, coming to the ring and throwing The Extraordinary Man from the ladder, allowing Owens to climb up and retrieve the ECW World Championship. With the help of his good buddy, The Prizefighter claimed his prize and stood atop the ladder as the top dog of ECW. It may have been a controversial victory, but regardless, Kevin Owens is your first ECW World Champion. Like it or not.</div></div> <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

Y2J didn't shy away from bending the rules to try and defeat his masked adversary, but after being tripped up into the 619 and then crushed beneath a Frog Splash, it was Rey Mysterio that walked away as the victor and advanced onto next week's spectacular bout. Can Rey Mysterio go the whole way and become the first WCW World Champion? And more importantly, who will join him?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/nfdy2cC.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/nfdy2cC.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Mustafa Ali, Cedric Alexander, Akira Tozawa & Kalisto def. Tony Nese, Hideo Itami, Noam Dar & TJP</b></div></p><p> As part of the "new era", WCW Nitro was granted exclusive rights to the Cruiserweight division, and this 8-Man Tag Team bout showcased the division in the most incredible way. Eight of the greatest cruiserweights in the world went to war and it was the ever-impressive Mustafa Ali that delivered his awe-inspiring 054 Splash to Tony Nese that secured the victory. The fan favourites stood tall in victory, but they all knew that when it came down to it, there could only be one WCW Cruiserweight Champion.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/wGntpd7.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/wGntpd7.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Nature Boy styles and profiles his way to WCW Nitro as the General Manager</b></div></p><p> Who better to take the reigns of WCW Nitro than the Hall of Famer and 16-time World Champion, Ric Flair? The Nature Boy returned to the brand he called home for many years of his career, now as the leader of the locker room. Flair responded to Stone Cold's words from Raw that he would "open a can of whoop-ass" on them, and the 16-time World Champion pretty much told him to bring it on. "To be the man, you've got to beat the man" stated Flair, and then paraphrased by saying that if WWE Raw or ECW wanted to be the number one brand, then they would have to beat the number one brand - WCW Nitro! Woooooooo!</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/ytLEY3P.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/ytLEY3P.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>AJ Styles def. Shinsuke Nakamura to advance to next week's main event</b></div></p><p> Next week's Triple Threat main event has the entire locker room talking, and now that Rey Mysterio has become the first to enter the bout, the question was who would be competing against him? AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura reignited their old rivalry to battle for the opportunity and despite The King of Strong Style trying to repeat history and end Styles' dream with a low blow, he was unsuccessful as The Phenomenal One avoided it and eventually found an opening to deliver his signature Styles Clash. Could Styles once again claim the title of "The Champ That Runs the Camp" next week? It all depends on who else joins him and Mysterio in the epic encounter. The final spot will be filled in tonight's main event!</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/T53DgAD.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/T53DgAD.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Charlotte Flair def. Billie Kay</b></div></p><p> Her father may be the General Manager of WCW Nitro, but Charlotte Flair needs no help showcasing her ability. The Queen overcame the numbers game of Billie Kay with Peyton Royce at ringside and was able to force the Australian into submission, sending the IIconic to the back with a loss. Looking to follow in her father's footsteps, Charlotte is on her way to capturing another Women's Championship, and the women's division should definitely take note. If history tells us anything, it's that a Flair will always find success inside a WCW ring.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/s6X0wXV.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/s6X0wXV.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Undisputed ERA def. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson</b></div></p><p> Arguably the most dominant faction in recent history, The Undisputed ERA have come to WCW Nitro. Tonight, the team of Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong represented the yellow and black, taking on The Good Brothers in tag team action. Despite Gallows and Anderson's best effort, they could not overcome the onslaught of their adversaries and O'Reilly was able to apply the Guillotine Choke to force Anderson into submission. The Undisputed ERA are a shoe-in for WCW Tag Team Champions, and any team would have a problem on their hands if they should come up against them. They intend to "Shock the system", and they look like they're about to do just that.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/7T9lhbT.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/7T9lhbT.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Velveteen Dream refuses to compete on WCW Nitro</b></div></p><p> The WCW fans were already excited thanks to the explosive action from tonight's show, but when it was revealed that The Velveteen Dream would be competing, it added to the buzz. However, it seems that The Dream had other ideas, making his awe-inspiring entrance only to disappoint everyone and refuse to compete, claiming to be "too good for WCW". This didn't sit well with the crowd, but he cared little for their opinions and made his way back up the aisle without a care in the world. The Velveteen Dream's ego takes center stage, and he certainly couldn't care less.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/LTZFZYc.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/LTZFZYc.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Seth Rollins def. Samoa Joe to advance to next week's main event</b></div></p><p> Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles have already secured their spots, but it was time for the final place to be filled and it was either going to be Seth Rollins or Samoa Joe. Yet another pair of old rivals collided with the opportunity at stake, and The Destroyer was not taking any prisoners, going in for the kill at every opportunity and looking to put an end to Rollins quickly. However, when Rollins not only kicked out of a Muscle Buster, but escaped from the Coquina Clutch as well, Joe's aggression proved to be his downfall as he left himself open to a Stomp. Once The Architect had delivered the devastating move, it was just a matter of the three count and he found himself in next week's main event. With the stage set, who will leave WCW Nitro as the WCW World Champion next week? Will it be Rey Mysterio, AJ Styles or Seth Rollins?</div></div></p><p> </p><p> <link href='<a href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'" rel="external nofollow">https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'</a> rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></p>

Eight of WWE Raw's top superstars will collide tonight, with the semi-finals taking place next week, and the finals the week after. And getting things started in the first match of the evening, The All-Mighty, Bobby Lashley would go toe-to-toe with the 16-time World Champion, John Cena!</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/1Gykn4R.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/1Gykn4R.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>John Cena def. Bobby Lashley to advance in the WWE World Championship Tournament</b></div></p><p> When two titans collide, it's anybody's guess who's going to come out on top. And as two of the most powerful competitors in the industry today, this was one of those moments. However, it was the former 16-time World Champion that left with yet another victory after Bobby Lashley missed his signature Spear, and Cena capitalised with a thunderous Attitude Adjustment to put The All-Mighty away and secure his place in the semi-finals of this tournament. Who will join Cena next week as the superstars of Raw step closer to claiming the grandest prize of them all?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/wiBuKJ8.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/wiBuKJ8.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Revival def. The New Day</b></div></p><p> The tag team division is at its best, and these two teams are at the top of their game. Tonight was about proving their worth and hopefully looking to earn themselves a chance to be WWE Tag Team Champions. Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson were able to topple the combination of Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods as Big E looked on from ringside. The pair isolated Kingston and dropped him with the Shatter Machine to claim the win and give themselves a good chance of becoming the first WWE Tag Team Champions of the "new era".</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/NiChlha.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/NiChlha.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Daniel Bryan def. Kane to advance in the WWE World Championship Tournament</b></div></p><p> Former tag team partners, former Tag Team Champions as that. Team Hell No imploded on Raw with a spot in the semi-finals of the WWE World Championship Tournament at stake. The former allies went head-to-head and The Big Red Monster came close to putting his old running buddy away with a Chokeslam, but "The New" Daniel Bryan was able to slip out and retaliate with a running knee to lay out The Devil's Favourite Demon and earn his place in next week's round. Daniel Bryan joins John Cena in the semi-finals, and only two more spots remain.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/dHrNI7D.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/dHrNI7D.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Stone Cold Steve Austin addresses his role as General Manager of WWE Raw</b></div></p><p> The arena exploded when Stone Cold Steve Austin made his return and revealed himself to be the General Manager calling the shots on WWE Raw. The Hall of Famer addressed the crowd and the millions watching around the world, promising that his brand will open a can of whoop-ass on WCW and ECW and be the best damn show on TV. Vowing to give the people what they want to see, and even discussing the possibility of a Stone Cold Stunner or two down the line, Austin asks if the fans are ready to see some more ass-kicking action. The answer? A resounding "Hell yeah!".</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/SJGCRKo.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/SJGCRKo.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Sasha Banks def. Alexa Bliss</b></div></p><p> With the women's division as competitive as it is, each female superstar has the utmost desire to showcase their ability. Tonight on Raw, Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss clashed with their good friends, Bayley and Mickie James in their respective corners and battled it out for the upper hand. Despite Bliss' best efforts to cheat her way to victory, Bayley kept Mickie James at bay and The Boss was able to apply the Banks Statement and force Little Miss Bliss into submission. Sasha and Bayley celebrated their victory as Mickie and Alexa fled looking furious.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/nJ6jevM.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/nJ6jevM.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Miz def. Randy Orton to advance in the WWE World Championship Tournament</b></div></p><p> John Cena and Daniel Bryan have already claimed their place in next week's semi-finals, but the two remaining spots were still up for grabs. The Viper, Randy Orton looked to earn himself that spot, but The Miz was the one who found a way to claim victory and edge on step closer to once again become World Champion. Just as Orton went for his patented RKO, The A-Lister reversed it into his own signature move - the Skull-Crushing Finale, and that was that. The Miz and his wife, Maryse fled ringside with smug grins on their faces as The Viper looked on in disappointment. With just one position in the semi-finals remaining, who will claim the opportunity?</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/4oPSrE4.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/4oPSrE4.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>The Usos def. The Authors of Pain</b></div></p><p> After seeing the tag team action earlier between The Revival and The New Day, these two teams had a lot to live up to. But of course, they didn't disappoint, putting on yet another tag team showcase. The Authors of Pain used their distinct power advantage to keep The Usos grounded for the most part, but when the tables finally turned, Jimmy and Jey were able to hit an Uso Splash on one of the AOP, with the other being knocked off the ring apron, allowing the Samoan twins to pick up the victory. With a win, The Usos have surely put their name in the hat for a future WWE Tag Team Championship opportunity, but no doubt The Revival will also be gunning for that spot as well.</div></p><p> </p><p> <img src="<a href="https://i.imgur.com/6gMe1nV.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/6gMe1nV.png"><div</a> style="margin:auto; width:650px; background-color:#212121; padding:25px; color:#ffffff; text-align:justify;margin-top:-15px;"><div style="text-align:justify; font:22px Roboto;"><b>Braun Strowman def. Roman Reigns to advance in the WWE World Championship Tournament</b></div></p><p> Only one spot remained as these two powerhouses went head-to-head, but which of them would join the others for the opportunity to become WWE World Champion? The Big Dog was as determined as ever to come out on top and reclaim his spot as king of the hill, but standing in his way was the behemoth that is Braun Strowman. After a back-and-forth battle that was akin to a Godzilla and King Kong collision, Roman Reigns found himself caught in the clutches of The Monster Among Men and driven into the canvas not once, but twice with a pair of running powerslams. Strowman secured the victory and thus filled the final position in the semi-finals of the WWE World Championship Tournament. Joining John Cena, Daniel Bryan and The Miz, he will have the chance to claim the WWE World Championship in two weeks. Which of these men will go on to the finals and clash for the coveted prize?</div></div></p><p> </p><p> <link href='<a href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'" rel="external nofollow">https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,900,700'</a> rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'></p>
