WWE Wishes Indian Fans ‘Happy Independence Day’, Watch Video And More
The 77th Independence Day of India was celebrated in style by all. From children to adults, everyone was seen making merry. The WWE has long been associated with Indians and sees India as a market and not an emerging market anymore. With that being said, it goes without saying that the Biggest Wrestling Promotion in the World had all the Goodies in the World to give to their Indian Viewers. No, we are not talking about Jinder Mahal Winning the Title. That was Mr. McMahon’s obsession with big, sweaty, and ripped men. The WWE gets the majority of its views, subscribers, and comments on digital media through India. The mammoth entity they so claim to be digitally goes through a country with a population of 1.3 billion people or more. India is also one of the Youngest countries, with the majority of the population being below 35 years old. The WWE has occasionally tried to tap into the huge Indian market, but to no avail. They are yet to have a household name who can get merchandise sales in India to where the organisation wants them. But that doesn’t stop them from dishing out the best action to us every week. Triple H has taken the Country’s love for Wrestling very seriously, and if reports are to be believed, HHH has another event planned for India just after they complete Hyderabad. There are even articles on how the NXT Champion looks. He looks kind of similar to a popular Indian Cricketer, Hardik Pandya. Dirty Dom and Rhea Ripley also showered their Love for the pious country. Incidentally, Dominik Mysterio is very popular here, courtesy of his father. Charlotte Flair has been a regular visitor to India and has made some friends too, most notably Bollywood Actor Varun Dhawan. The thriller came when the former United States Champion broke character and said he was going to see India very soon. Veer Mahan, Sangha, and Jinder Mahal also joined the party, with LA Knight looking to accelerate his social media page too after looking to woo The Indian Community with a message of his own.
WWE NXT Preview And Prediction: How, When & Where To Watch In USA, Europe & India – 15 August 2023
WWE NXT takes place at the WWE Performance Centre in Orlando, Florida. The NXT show promises high-flying and high-octane action and is held in High regard by the Wrestling Loyalists. Earlier this week, the WWE announced the matches that were confirmed for the event. Let’s take a look at the Preview and predict what’s coming for the Superstars: Tony D’Angelo and Stacks defend the NXT Tag Titles against The Dyad. A match that has tipped the fans to not miss a moment is this one where the NXT Tag Team Titles will be on the line, with Tony D’Angelo and Stacks showcasing their spirit and zeal and looking to make their very first Title defence as NXT Tag Titles, an accolade they accomplished at this year’s havoc, the NXT Great American Bash. Expect to see class action in this competition of sorts. Wes Lee and Dijak will compete to become the No. 1 contenders for the NXT Championship. Wes Lee is one of the most promising talents in business today. His losing the NXT North American Title to Dirty Dom, or should we say the Judgement Day, doesn’t showcase him in a positive light. His frustration will now be channelled against arguably one of the hardest-hitting Men in NXT today, Dijak. With one of the nastiest kicks in the game, Dijak will look to make sure he is on a roll moving into Heatwave. Carmelo Hayes, meanwhile, will be watching closely to see how this unfolds. Drew Gulak will take on Trick Williams. When a man calls himself a submission specialist and has the honour of being in the ring with Daniel Bryan for a match, it is no walk in the park. Trick Williams may have some unsettled beef with Ilja Dragunov post-Bash, but this by no means will allow him to overtake the technical Drew Gulak, who still has Gunther’s hand tattooed on his Chest. Dana Brooke will match Up against Blair Davenport. An enraged Dana Brooke will look to beat Blair Davenport, who is fresh off her rivalry with Roxanne Perez. It will be interesting to see how WWE books this and takes Dana Brooke’s career from here after she spent so many years with the company, though sources say Davenport will pick up a quick win. TIMINGS AND CHANNELS India: Wednesday, 5.30 am on Sony Ten1, Jio TV, and Sony Liv USA: On Peacock, 8 p.m. ET Australia: On Binge and on FOX8 at 12 p.m. AEDT.
3 Reasons Why Bray Wyatt Could Return At WWE Payback 2023
Bray Wyatt is one Superstar who can have the crowd buy tickets just by him being on the card. The Former Nexus Member has no doubters when it comes to his in ring Presence, his Appeal across generations or his work ethic. Bo Dallas’ sibling seems to have it all in him but has off late been fighting critical Health and Mental issues that have turned him into pieces and fragments. But with his Father Mike Rotunda already saying that his son is gearing up for a comeback in the not so distant future, here are 3 Reasons Why Bray Wyatt Could Return at WWE Payback: Stealing the headlines without even being on the Card is something that has been associated with The Fiend all throughout his career. The expectation of seeing a monster and scary gimmick rise from the ashes only to suddenly appear in the Arena has long enthralled Wrestling Fans. Bray Wyatt sits at the top of this pedestal and hence is a rage among the masses. There is no smoke without fire and with Mike Rotunda assuring that his Son is on the verge of a comeback, Payback is the perfect time for Bray Wyatt to return and make a mark. “Anyone But You Roman”. After Jey Uso’s departure, The Bloodline may have just been at its weakest ever and this should give the Fiend enough evidence to try and dethrone the Tribal Chief. The Head of the Table in the Family is also The Head of the Superstars and should Bray Wyatt wish to play mind games with the Tribal Chief, his comeback needs to be a statement worthy of it. Placing the stepping stones carefully for him are his father and Brother Bo Dallas. Who doesn’t BOlieve in Bray Wyatt? Sure Payback is a big event and one that deserves its moments. But Payback is going to be the build up to WWE’s cash cow the Crown Jewel. Chatter in the locker room is that the Real Estate and Oil rich; Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia is willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for even wrestlers who haven’t competed in years. With the Fiend’s popularity in the other side of the Globe being as hot, you can expect him to be back by Payback to take out his Victim for a meaningful build up. For the record they paid $3 million for HBK to wrestle just one match after so many years. Now you know why he may be back by Payback. The Fiend is sure to surpass that should he Compete for the Gold against The Big Dog. His father meanwhile is helping him every step of the way.

Jey Uso is All Elite?
3 Reasons Why Jey Uso Deserved The WWE Titles At SummerSlam
Jey Uso gave it his all at Summerslam. To anyone watching at home or in the arena, Jey Uso had the Tribal Chief cornered and made the Head of the Table look like he was about to lose his place before dining. Jey Uso stopped being the nice guy and decided to catch the bull by its horns. It is just that Jey Uso is a guy who is, in some terms, a bit fragile and weak on the inside. They say You cannot change a person’s nature. Someone who is soft and kindhearted on the inside likes similar people around him. Family comes first, no matter what you are doing, no matter how high the stakes may be, no matter where you are from, no matter where you are going. Always keep family first and your priorities second. The 37-year-old family man had the match of his life, and here are 3 reasons why Jey Uso deserved the WWE Titles at Summerslam 2023. Jey Uso knew if he was going to have any chance of beating his Elder Cousin, he would have to be at his best, and he was. Soon into the match, Jey Uso Samoan dropped the Head of the Table through a table and was controlling the match pretty much from there. Two spears had the Tribal chief’s face turn blue out of disbelief as he couldn’t believe what had just possessed Jey Uso. Everything that we want and see in the Tribal chief is Jey Uso personified. It is a strict no when someone starts to run their mouth about any other combat sport in the Wrestling community. Buster Douglas vs. Tyson was to boxing what Jey Uso vs. Roman Reigns is to wrestling. Buster Douglas was a 42-1 underdog. Be with me. He knocked out Mike Tyson on one night in Japan and claimed Former DX member Mike Tyson’s 0. That may have been the fate of the Head of the Table. But this was no one-on-one contest but a handicap match, where Solo Sikoa and Jimmy Uso came in to lend a Helping hand to the Big Dog. If the Titles changed hands, there would be Articles written till dawn. A shift in the Top brass may just have been best for business. Imagine if Jey Uso, with his once-in-a lifetime performance, got to beat the Big Dog on that very day. It would do wonders for the neutrals and may bring them back to watching the show. Everybody has been waiting for The Big Dog to lose and go to Hollywood, but with his mind in place, Jey Uso is just another spoke on the wheel.
5 Superstars Who Are Likely To Be Released By 2023
Whenever a new superstar makes his way through the curtains, you cannot help but feel the excitement and adrenaline. The childhood dream of every wrestler is to one day come down that ramp with their friends and family watching them. But once a Superstar comes full circle, the company decides to wish them well in their future endeavours.” On that note, Here are five Superstars who may be released by WWE by the end of 2023. BRAUN STROWMAN Starting off with a Spoiler, the Monster Among Men is the first to make the list. The 39-year-old has been lacking a major feud with a household superstar, and that has kept him away from the limelight. The former strongman competitor is no longer the biggest guy in the locker room, as he was Dwarfed when matched up against Omos. With a talent like The Monster among men, we can safely say that he won’t waste his prime fighting around the midcards, and with Adam Scherr being a recognised name in the Indies Circuit, it may just be a matter of time before he makes a move. Add to that Braun Strowman’s enormous wages, and you sure know he will face the axe by 2023. CARLITO For those who don’t watch wrestling regularly, Carlito is one of the coolest Superstars from the Ruthless Aggression era. Spitting bits off a chewed apple in his opponent’s face is why we remember him most. After a long break, Carlito was signed once again by the WWE on May 6, 2023. But with no major plans for him and no Superstar willing to feud, he is a luxury that the billion-dollar entity may want to get rid of by 2023. SHELTON BENJAMIN The Hurt Business, which reigned supreme from 2020–22, gave us a glimpse of what may have been with one of the most gifted yet under-promoted Superstars in modern-day Wrestling. His infamous spot where HBK superkicked him has been played out every month as a highlight of what’s In store for the fans. Brock Lesnar’s former roommate never really picked up as a Singles competitor from there, and by the looks of it, he may be sacked by 2023. NATALYA A lot is expected of you when the legendary Hitman is your uncle, and 41-year-old WWE Superstar Natalya knows just that. A killer back in the day, Natalya has not kept up quite well with the new roster, and with newer additions being made quarterly, Tyson Kidd’s wife may find it hard to hang in there with the younger and hungrier Superstars. DREW MCINTYRE As shocking as it may seem, Drew McIntyre has expressed to Triple H that he may look for Greener pastures elsewhere should he not get his chance at glory. The Scottish Warrior, reportedly after losing to Gunther, lost a lot of loyal fans back home in the UK and Europe entirely. The former Royal Rumble winner carried the company individually through COVID and now feels his momentum being stolen by the Tribal Chiref and Gunther, who have made him look like a back-up or secondary Superstar. WWE is no stranger to demanding wrestlers and may put The Former World Champion out of their roster in 2023.
3 Possible Reasons Why Brock Lesnar Pulled Out Of WWE TV After SummerSlam 2023
If God Were to create a man solely for the purpose of beating down grown men like they were toddlers, he’d create Brock Lesnar. Paul Heyman, during his days with Lesnar while feuding with the Big Dog, said that the great Samoan Anoa’i family has never seen anything like Brock Lesnar. The WWE is at a point where all the old stars are gone and new ones need a while to come up. The Big 4 of the OVW—Randy Orton, John Cena, Dave Batista, and Brock Lesnar—have only got the beast Incarnate as an active superstar right now. But why was he pulled off TV after Summerslam? Here are three possible reasons: THE SCHEDULE It shouldn’t come as a surprise that farm boy Brock Lesnar has always been taken off WWE TV or brought on just after a PPV is over. He is a Ferrari that can’t be driven like a Fiat. A lot of WWE superstars have mentioned the tiring and unforgiving schedule that they have, which may go the full 365 days of the year. Being on the road means Superstars miss a big chunk of what goes on in their family and personal lives. Big match John once famously said in a shoot that he has missed Birthdays, weddings, and Funerals to be where he is, and nothing was handed to him. This was one reason for Lesnar’s exit, along with his desire to go to the NFL during his incredible run in the ruthless aggression era. Brock Lesnar never did work a full calendar, and after proving to the world that he could beat guys on the other side of the fence too, Brock Lesnar got what he wished, i.e., a part-time schedule with full-time pay. He IS a limited edition Brock Lesnar is a one of a kind species, they say. His body proportions are a matter of genetic and scientific research. Just ask Jim Ross Or Joe Rogan. Good old JR used to famously point out how The Beast’s traps were so big, it almost looked like Brock Lesnar had no neck. Before Lesnar came to the UFC, custom-made gloves weren’t a thing. Brock Lesnar couldn’t fit his hands in the XXL gloves, and a special order for XXXXL gloves had to be made. The only other heavyweight to ever get gloves that size was 7-foot-1-inch giant Choi Hong-man. The WWE understands that such equity comes once a generation and hence keeps the Undertaker’s conqueror well rested and protected. Moreover, The fact that Lesnar is a Prize Fighter and would have a huge wage demand propels WWE to use him when the ratings need a push. CROWN JEWEL Brock Lesnar is getting ready to dethrone the Tribal Chief at Crown Jewel. The two biggest stars in business are also the two biggest stars in the Middle East. WWE looks to break records held by other sports, such as Boxing or MMA. If reports are to be believed, each Superstar is guaranteed upwards of $5 million for their appearance at Crown Jewel. It may therefore be smart not to bring him into any other feud right now. WWE knows that if a Universal impact needs to be made, it needs to go through their biggest stars. The Head Of The Table knows Lesnar all too well, and the Promotion wants these two Movers and Shakers of the business to decide, from the Sheikhs, all the Moolah that will keep this Entity running till eternity.
