WWE Raw Preview And Prediction: How, When And Where To Watch In USA, Europe And India – 25th September 2023
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is set to light up screens once again with its electrifying episode of Monday Night Raw. With the encounters and segments lined up for the night, fans across the USA, Europe, and India will be glued to their screens. The episode promises twists, turns, power-packed action, and possibly, a few surprises. So, without further ado, let’s delve into what’s in store for this edition of Raw. First on the docket is the much-anticipated segment with Cody Rhodes. While the exact reason for this promo remains shrouded in mystery. Those who tuned in to last week’s Raw will remember the dramatic scene where Cody heroically stepped in to rescue Jey from the clutches of Judgement Day. What unfolds in this segment might just set the tone for the rest of the night, and potentially even for future episodes. After a mysterious opener, the episode looks to turn the heat up with a titanic clash between two behemoths – Bronson Reed and Otis. Just last week, Reed threw down the gauntlet, challenging Chad Gable and emerging triumphant. This week, he sets his sights on Otis, another half of the Alpha Academy. Given the sheer power and size of both these superstars, this encounter is nothing short of a battle of the Titans. As for the prediction? It seems the scales tilt slightly in favor of Reed. The whispers in the wrestling circles suggest Reed is poised to register yet another victory by overpowering Otis. However, given the unpredictable nature of the WWE, nothing is set in stone. Moving on, we shift our attention to what promises to be an intriguing segment – Drew McIntyre’s appearance on The Miz TV. The Miz, known for his sharp wit and cunning mind, is sure to press McIntyre with some tough questions. But what adds an element of drama to this situation are the swirling rumors. Whispers have it that either Jey Uso or The Judgment Day might interrupt this interview, potentially leading to an impromptu match. And with Riddle out of the picture for now, McIntyre is focusing on his solo career, ensuring this segment has the potential to be explosive. Next, we are in for a segment that could have long-standing repercussions on the championship scenario. After multiple attempts, Seth Rollins finally succeeded in convincing Shinsuke Nakamura to agree to a rematch for the coveted World Heavyweight Championship. But there’s a catch. Nakamura has the power to decide the date, time, and venue for this high-stakes battle. This week’s Raw episode is where Nakamura is expected to make the big reveal, and fans, as well as Rollins, will be eagerly waiting to hear his decision. Lastly, the stakes couldn’t be higher with the NXT North American Championship Match. Dominik Mysterio, after a fierce and prolonged feud with Dragon Lee, is set to defend his title. Their rivalry saw a pivotal moment in NXT where Dominik, with a little assistance from Rhea Ripley, managed to clinch the title. However, this time around, Dominik will have to defend the championship without Rhea, courtesy of an injury inflicted by Nia Jax. But all might not be lost for Dominik. Rumors suggest that with The Judgment Day in the background, he still has allies in the form of Damien Priest and Balor. Given the dynamics, it seems the odds might be in Dominik’s favor as he possibly retains the championship, possibly with a little help from Priest. Fans of WWE from the USA and Canada can watch the WWE RAW of 25th September 2023 on Peacock. Whereas, the fans in India can watch the event on Sony Liv. You need to have a subscription to Sony Liv to watch the same. Fans can also watch the event on a stable cable connection.

Tyron Woodley Would Only Return To UFC To Face Israel Adesanya
Tyron Woodley would be willing to return to the UFC octagon if they can serve him Israel Adesanya on a platter. The former welterweight champion recently claimed that he despised ‘The Last Stylebender’ with a passion and would love to “beat the f**k out of him” in the famed octagon. Tyron Woodley left the UFC after his first-round submission loss against Vincente Luque at UFC 260. That loss marked his fourth consecutive defeat in the promotion and his last contractual bout. He left the UFC in March 2021. After eight years in the promotion, Tyron Woodley ventured into boxing. He fought Jake Paul twice, losing their first bout by split decision, then their rematch by knockout. Recently, Woodley claimed that he’d be willing to come back to the octagon. However, he’d only do that if Israel Adesanya was his opponent. It seems the two men share a mutual dislike for each other, owing to a misunderstanding. During a recent appearance on the JAXXON podcast, Tyron Woodley told Quinton Jackson about his hatred for the former middleweight champion. It appears that Adesanya once ridiculed Woodley’s callout and made fun of the welterweight for suggesting a matchup. That rubbed Tyron Woodley the wrong way and has harbored that in his heart since. However, Tyron Woodley added that he considers Israel Adesanya to be the best of the best. He stated that he merely wanted to test himself against ‘The Last Stylebender’ and wanted to prove his fighting prowess. Woodley claimed that despite showing respect, Israel Adesanya never reciprocated, and that led to a misunderstanding between them. He also revealed that he had the option of fighting Nick Diaz, Nate Diaz, Michael Bisping, Conor McGregor, and Georges St-Pierre. However, he was willing to overlook all of them to fight Israel Adesanya. Meanwhile, Israel Adesanya is coming off a shocking title loss against Sean Strickland at UC 293. The Nigerian-born Kiwi was brutally outpointed over five rounds and ultimately lost via unanimous decision.
Ciryl Gane Backing Former Rival Francis Ngannou In Boxing Match Against Tyson Fury
Ciryl Gane recently claimed that Francis Ngannou could be the one to break Tyson Fury’s undefeated boxing record. ‘Bon Gamin’ weighed in on the upcoming heavyweight boxing matchup and backed his former rival to pull off an upset. While Gane is aware that the odds are stacked against Ngannou in the squared circle, he’s aware of the Cameroonian’s unbelievable punching power. Interestingly, Ciryl Gane was Ngannou’s last opponent in the UFC. The two former teammates famously clashed at UFC 270, where Gane challenged for Ngannou’s title. Despite competing with an injured knee, Francis Ngannou secured a unanimous decision win. Soon after, ‘The Predator’ exited the UFC and signed a groundbreaking contract with the PFL. As Ngannou left as the heavyweight champion, Ciryl Gane fought Jon Jones for the vacant title and lost via first-round submission at UFC 285. After his exit, Francis Ngannou moved heaven and earth to secure the boxing match of his dreams. While he was linked to Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder, Ngannou had his sights on Tyson Fury. After months of speculations, the Cameroonian finally got his man. On October 28, Saudi Arabia will host the Francis Ngannou vs. Tyson Fury boxing match. The fight will take place under professional boxing rules. Three judges will use the 10-point must system to score the contest. Although the fight will count on their professional records, Fury will not be defending his WBC title. In a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Ciryl Gane shared his two cents on the matchup. While the Frenchman admitted Tyson Fury has a better chance of winning, he couldn’t count out his compatriot. He said that he would be backing Ngannou to defeat Tyson Fury and looks forward to ‘The Predator’ surprising everyone. Ciryl Gane also touched upon the fact that Francis Ngannou always wanted to become a boxer. With Ngannou known as the hardest-hitting puncher in MMA, ‘Bon Gamin’ is predicting an upset victory.
Robert Whittaker Wants Top-5 Opponent To Redeem Dricus Du Plessis Loss
Robert Whittaker has seemingly taken the Dricus Du Plessis loss to heart and recently vowed to find his redemption. ‘The Reaper’ recently claimed that he isn’t over it even after two months removed from the loss. He stated that he wants a statement win against a top-5 ranked opponent to redeem himself. The former middleweight champion is undoubtedly among the best 185-pound contenders the UFC has ever seen. Before his loss against Du Plessis, Whittaker beat every other contender not named Israel Adesanya. Given his impressive record, he was also a massive betting favorite going into his ill-fated matchup at UFC 290. The South African fighter dismantled Robert Whittaker and knocked him out in the second round of the fight.. The fight was a pivotal title eliminator, which was meant to serve as Whittaker’s last step toward another title shot. During a recent conversation with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Robert Whittaker discussed his fight against Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 290 and outlined his disappointment at the outcome. The Australian fighter admitted that he wasn’t feeling himself going into the fight and expressed his dismay at falling short. He added that he doesn’t want to end his career on a low and feels like his best is yet to come. Sean Strickland’s shocking victory over Israel Adesanya at UFC 293 has properly shaken up the UFC’s middleweight division. Strickland stunningly outpointed Adesanya over five rounds to become the new 185-pound king. Given that the middleweights have a new title target now, Robert Whittaker looks forward to using his UFC 290 loss as motivation to train harder. ‘The Reaper’ claimed that he’s training harder than ever and wants to level up his game. With Strickland as the new champion, Whittaker is among those who are potentially one or two statement wins away from a title shot. ‘The Reaper’ knows this and is now looking to solidify his claim by beating a top-5 ranked opponent.
Kris Statlander Joins Criticism Over Signing Autographs Outside Of Work Hours
Since images of Rey Mysterio refusing to sign a huge amount of autographs to some signature hunters at an airport were leaked, the wrestling community has had a lot of debate about the privacy of WWE and All Elite Wrestling stars, although the problem also extends to fighters on the independent scene. There have been many wrestlers who have come to the fore to talk about this matter, although many prefer not to comment on the issue in public. Kris Statlander, current TBS champion, was recently interviewed on Busted Open Radio, where she analyzed the situation and revealed that she felt upset about having to put up with people who do not respect her moment of privacy. “I don’t like fans waiting at airports and hotels. Technically we’re not working at the time, and most travel has been so hectic lately that many of us don’t bother putting on a happy face. Some of us have a “There’s a lot of real-life stuff to deal with, and it’s like sometimes we’re not always our best selves, especially when we’re travelling. We don’t feel our best.” “Also, knowing that I’m going to a hotel and there are fans there, feel like I need to relax and have some privacy and some free time. Unfortunately, people feel so comfortable violating our privacy.” Kris Statlander did not specify whether her case was exclusively about signatures or also included the problem of autograph hunters, people who ask talents to sign a large number of products to resell them on the Internet. The talents in question are engraved to certify that the signature is authentic. In recent months we have seen some worrying cases, such as with Alexa Bliss (before she became pregnant) and Jeff Hardy. Kevin Nash was one of the few wrestling personalities who has advocated signing autographs after hours. Through his podcast Kliq This, he pointed out that many wrestlers become “assholes” when fame comes to them. “Then there’s always the guy who wants to tell people while he’s eating at the Waffle House with the rest of the guys that he doesn’t mind being bothered when he’s eating good food, you know? It’s like, do you want a photo? Come here, sit next to me. Do you want me to sign something for you? Here. You learn that in this world if someone wants your shit, you sign something for them. It takes 30 seconds to do it, but it takes four minutes to be an asshole and explain. Why don’t you go sign something,” he concluded.
WWE Reacted Very ‘Casually’ After Hearing LA Knight’s COVID News
WWE informed fans and media of the wrestler’s withdrawal before SmackDown and the weekend’s non-televised events. LA Knight has become one of the most sought-after talents by WWE fans. The year 2023 is very beneficial for his career and people want to see him perform in each of the SmackDown and non-televised shows in which he has been previously announced. Last Friday he did not appear on Friday Night SmackDown because LA Knight contracted COVID-19, information that was released after the show and explained the reason for his absence. LA Knight was also unable to work the weekend’s non-televised events for the same reason and WWE made fans aware of this, even offering refunds to attendees. This way of working for WWE is not common, since it usually happens when it is a very prominent absence, such as Roman Reigns today. This shows that WWE is taking LA Knight very seriously, although it is also being said that it could be a new strategy for TKO Holdings Group. This was mentioned by Dave Meltzer, Wrestling Observer journalist, in his last radio show. “Normally, WWE will only announce a no-show if it’s a wrestler on the level of Roman Reigns or Seth Rollins, which tells you how highly they think of Knight,” Meltzer said. “WWE also informed the media Friday night about Knight and I can’t remember that being done in the past either. I don’t know if this is a new policy with the new owners because anywhere else form of entertainment, fans and the media would be notified in advance of a star’s non-absence.” LA Knight’s loss coincides with his current history with The Miz. Two weeks ago, on Friday Night SmackDown, Knight defeated The Miz in a singles match and indicated that he intended to go for one of the WWE titles.
Miesha Tate’s Next Challenger And Fight Date Revealed
The 37-year-old MMA star Miesha Tate has her next fight and it is against another fighter who is coming off a long period of inactivity. In a UFC Fight Night event scheduled for December 2, Tate (19-9 MMA, 6-6 UFC) will face Julia Ávila (9-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC). At the moment the place or venue of the evening has not been confirmed. Two fighters with knowledge of the fight recently confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. MMA Mania first reported that the fight was underway. Tate, 37, is a former UFC women’s bantamweight champion. She has not fought since a unanimous decision loss at the hands of Lauren Murphy in July 2022. The fight was Tate’s debut at flyweight and moved her to 1-2 since retiring and returning to competition in 2021. Tate was scheduled to face Mayra Bueno Silva in June but withdrew from the fight for unknown reasons. Ávila, 35, has not competed since June 2021, as she took time off to give birth to her daughter, who was born in October 2022. Before her maternity leave, Ávila defeated Julija Stoliarenko by choke rear. The win was her third in four promotional outings and her second finals win.
Rafael Fiziev: I Want To Win Again And Give A Show
Rafael Fiziev believes he has grown stronger following his loss to Justin Gaethje ahead of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 228 main event. After stringing together a six-win streak in the lightweight division, Fiziev (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) ran into a tough obstacle in “BMF” champion Gaethje at UFC 286 in March. He started strong but then was bloodied and outmatched down the stretch in a unanimous decision loss. Six months later, Fiziev is back and will face Mateusz Gamrot (22-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in a key 155-pound bout at the UFC Apex, which will air on ESPN+. He has come to terms with his performance with Gaethje, shored up the holes he identified in his strategy and execution, and is prepared to get back on track. “The loss is the last time, I’m sad for the last time,” Fiziev told MMA Junkie and other journalists at Wednesday’s UFC Fight Night 228 media day. “Everyone doesn’t like to lose. I want to win again. “I want to put on a show again and have my hand raised.” After going toe-to-toe with Gaethje for three rounds in London, Fiziev has almost the opposite type of matchup. Gamrot has made it clear that he will try to stifle Fiziev with his grappling game, but Fiziev is confident he can keep the fight on his turf. “We are different styles, and that is why it is also very interesting for me”, declared Fiziev. “All my life I have learned to stop fighters, to defend takedowns and to stay standing.” Lessons learned Fiziev, 30, also learned from the loss to Gaethje that he can’t get ahead of things. He knows the challenge he has at hand, and he knows that he cannot afford consecutive defeats. “I can’t say I’m humble – I’m always humble,” Fiziev said. « I don’t have names. Everyone thinks too much about rankings, in the numbers. That is why this division remains (still). “I just want to fight.”
