As previously reported, WWE was looking to fill some time on today’s WWE Battleground card since the Intercontinental title match fell off the event due to Ryback’s injury. Sasha Banks, Charlotte and Becky Lynch were all brought to St. Louis for the show, possibly to fill some time for the PPV.
In addition, PWInsider is now reporting that a Divas bout could be added to the PPV to replace the former IC title match-up. The plan being thrown around is to have a triple threat match involving one member of each Divas trio that were on Raw. Someone from Team Bella vs. a member of Team Paige vs. a member of Team Naomi.
Of course, the report notes that the plans are not “final,” so take the news with a grain of salt. The creative team is said to still be throwing ideas around for the show and awaiting approval from WWE officials.

Reaction to NXT Divas’ Debut
WWE officials were said to be ecstatic with how the introduction of Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks went down, feeling that the company has turned a corner with the division. The original plan was to have the debuts happen closer to SummerSlam but the decision was made to pull the trigger now due to the way the US Women’s soccer team win is getting so much attention.
Opinionated View- Call me in a month and lets see how they actually use them. Because yeah they got a pop but in a month are they just doing jobs to girls like Naomia or The Bellas?

Security guard claims a WWE wrestler struck him with a chair
Troy Rivers filed a lawsuit in which he claims that he was hit with a chairshot to the head while working as a security guard at a WWE event. Rivers was working a show in Savannah, Georgia when he claims he was struck. "Suddenly, and with no warning whatsoever... struck about the head, neck, and back by a folding chair." Rivers believes Dean Ambrose (a/k/a Jonathan Good) swung the chair. However, his attorney said that's unclear.
"We haven't reviewed the video from the event yet, so we're bringing in everyone on the card that night," Rivers' attorney, Kevin Elwell, told Courthouse News. "Only one guy did it, but we don't know which one yet." This, the lawsuit lists John Cena, Seth Rollins, Ryback, Kane, Daniel Bryan, R-Truth, and other wrestlers who worked the show as defendants.

Opinionated View- This card sucks. I love Rollins but he's been booked awful. Why should I care about Brock it he wins the belt back that means we are back to a once every 2 months champion. Cena vs. Owens really needs a stip at this point and Ownes needs to go over. Don't give a damn about the IC title anymore. Tag title match is going to suck. Reigns and Wyatt haven't done enough to make me care. Haven't cared about Orton or Sheamus in years

7/9 WWE Smackdown Report
WWE: Then. Now. Forever.
We open the show with footage from RAW of Seth Rollins calling out Brock Lesnar. We are reminded of what happened as Brock Lesnar beat the car of J&J to a pulp and we see Seth Rollins run scared out of the arena as Lesnar holds up the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the ring.
Jerry Lawler, Tom Phillips and Jimmy Uso on commentary tonight.
Seth Rollins' music hits. Seth says he did the unthinkable by calling out Brock Lesnar. Rollins says that Lesnar proved to the world that he is a coward because he took his frustrations out on the car instead of coming down to the ring. Seth says that Brock messed with his family and that crossed the line. He claims that at Battleground, he will slay the beast and humiliate him. As he continues on his rant, we hear a weird beeping noise in the background. He stops talking and we see a tow truck bringing in the beat up car from Monday night. “Ladies and Gentleman” it’s Paul Heyman to the ramp now. Heyman says he could spew a bunch of metaphors about the comparison between the car and Rollins...and he does. He then goes on to say Seth Rollins will lose his title when he gets to Suplex City at Battleground. Rollins turns it on Heyman saying that Brock is the one that will leave looking like the car after the match. Heyman is asked by Seth who he thinks will walk out champion after all that he has done. Heyman responds by saying that Brock will hold up the title and declare once again to be the champ. Rollins interrupts Heyman and tells him to shut up. He continues to tell everyone to shut up. He says no one will beat him and he will leave Battleground as the champ. Rollins holds up the title and his music hits with Heyman looking on in disgust.
Tonight’s main event will be a Champion vs. Champion match featuring WWE Intercontinental Champion Ryback facing WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins.
Also tonight: The Big show and Roman Reigns will face each other one on one.
Dean Ambrose’s music hits and the crowd come alive.
-Commercial Break-
Back from the break, Bo Dallas’ music hits. Bo comes down the ramp with a mic and says Ambrose could use some inspiration and maybe a shower. He says he just inspired The Rock to be the hottest thing in the world right now and he can do the same for Ambrose if he will just “BO-LIEVE”!
Dean Ambrose vs. Bo Dallas
The match begins with a lock up. They have a series of lockups and reversals. Dallas heads toward the ropes to break an arm bar that Ambrose has applied. Dean backs up and Dallas makes his move running off the ropes. Ambrose ducks him and rolls him up for a two count. Dallas off the ropes again is hit with a clothesline taking him to the mat. Ambrose hits a big chop. Dallas gaining momentum after the chop takes Ambrose out of the ring and sends him in to the barricade. Dallas hits a series of forearms to Ambrose on the apron. Ambrose is slammed to the mat and pinned for a two count. He kicks out and Dallas throws Ambrose into a headlock.
-Commercial Break-
Back from the break Ambrose gains momentum hitting an inside out clothesline on Dallas. Dallas is sent out of the ring and Ambrose flies through the middle rope sending Dallas into the announce table. Ambrose up top but Dallas counters and takes him to the mat with a slam off the top. He covers Ambrose for a two count. Dallas goes for the running BO dog. Ambrose counters with a bulldog of his own. Ambrose goes for Dirty Deeds but Dallas counters. Dallas hits the ropes but Ambrose catches him and this time hits Dirty Deeds and gets the pinfall victory.
Winner: Dean Ambrose
Later tonight: Randy Orton will be on Smackdown.
-Commercial Break-
Back from the break, we see Seth Rollins in the back shaking his head. Big Show comes in and tells Seth that times are tough right now. Rollins says he should be ok, but if Big Show wants to he can help conquer Suplex City. Big Show declines and says Rollins should focus on facing Ryback later tonight. Seth gets fired up and Big Show wishes him luck saying he will be watching later, but first he will take care of Roman Reigns.
We see footage from RAW between Rusev and Ziggler fighting over Lana once again. Summer Rae and Rusev take out Ziggler and Lana. We are told that Dolph Ziggler is out indefinitely after the attack by Rusev.
Rusev’s music hits and he brings out Summer Rae. Rusev is now wearing shoes as he makes his way to the ring.
-Commercial Break-

Main Event For 8/22 WWE NXT Takeover
Courtesy of WWE.com:
NXT Champion Finn Bálor vs. Kevin Owens
A huge main event has been confirmed for NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, as newly crowned NXT Champion Finn Bálor will defend his title against former champion Kevin Owens at the Barclays Center on Saturday, Aug. 22 as part of a special that will be broadcast live on the award-winning WWE Network.
The rematch was announced by NXT General Manager William Regal at San Diego Comic-Con International, where both Bálor and Owens took part in a packed panel presented by Mattel, featuring the unveiling of both Superstars' first WWE action figures.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of Bálor's stunning championship victory in Tokyo. Just days after becoming the first competitor to pin Owens inside an NXT ring, Bálor returned to Japan, the country where he first made a name for himself as a competitor, donning his demonic war paint as he charged into battle against the brutish Owens. While Owens sought to slow down his otherworldly opposition, Bálor withstood Owens' onslaught and crushed him with the Coup de Grace to become the NXT Champion.
Since the Tokyo throwdown, Owens has turned his attention to capturing John Cena's United States Championship, but don't think for a moment that the bruiser won't relish the opportunity to reclaim the title that propelled him to Superstardom and embarrass Bálor in the process.
Will Finn Bálor prove that his victory in Tokyo wasn't a fluke, or will Owens send The Demon back to the netherworlds and reassert his dominance over NXT? Find out at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn on Saturday, Aug. 22! Tickets will be available for this monumental event starting Saturday, July 18 at 12 p.m. ET. If you can't make it to Brooklyn, don't worry, as the event will be broadcast live on the award-winning WWE Network!

Former Head Writer Brian Gewirtz Leaves WWE
One of WWE’s longest-running and most influential creative men has left the company. The WON reports that Brian Gewirtz, who has been with the company around fifteen years and was the head writer for Raw for several of them, gave his notice a few weeks ago and left after the June 29th episode of Raw.
Gewirtz was a regular part of the creative team throughout the 2000s and even after he was sent home by then-Creative head Eric Pankowski in 2012, he worked as a consultant. The Rock would always ask specifically for Gewirtz to be at Raw to work with him on promos.
Gewirtz left in order to take on an executive role at The Rock’s Seven Bucks Entertainment production company.
Opinionated View- As I said when Gerwirtz got sent home him just leaving won't change much. The issues with WWE are very deep and one guys won't change anything.

USA Network Reportedly Upset With WWE Over Tough Enough
USA Network officials are said to be upset with WWE over Tough Enough. First, they feel like the popularity of pro wrestling is going down because of the recent drop in ratings.
They also think that the format of Tough Enough being taped and live doesn’t work because the judges don’t have enough time to make fair decisions. Fans are only given a few minutes to vote instead of a day or a week. USA believes this leads to poor word-of-mouth.
USA enjoyed the last season of the show because they felt Steve Austin was a “dynamic presence” with enough charisma to carry the season. It’s believe that Chris Jericho “comes off as a game show host”. USA doesn’t blame Jericho, they feel that it’s because of the format of the show. They think the show itself looks like a game show instead of a reality TV competition.
USA is also worried that the last two winners of Tough Enough, Daniel Puder and Andy Leavine, were released by WWE before ever doing anything. They feel like winning the show means nothing, which is why fans don’t seem to care.
Opinionated View- Dear USA,
You knew all of this before you agreed to air the show. You knew the winners had been cut hell not just Puder and Leavine but all the winner have been let go. Hell all you had to do was watch old seasons to see how boring it was. I'm also going to assume WWE didn't just decided to do this format with out giving you an idea that was plan. Your like the football players that blew there hands up don't come crying now that you light the fuse.

They also think that the format of Tough Enough being taped and live doesn’t work because the judges don’t have enough time to make fair decisions. Fans are only given a few minutes to vote instead of a day or a week. USA believes this leads to poor word-of-mouth.
USA enjoyed the last season of the show because they felt Steve Austin was a “dynamic presence” with enough charisma to carry the season.
