Ontario, 20 September - Mustafa Ali will be on WWE Raw next week, which happens on September 25, 2023, at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, CA. Ali revealed this during the September 19 WWE NXT episode. ## On that Raw episode, Dominik Mysterio will defend the NXT North American Championship against Dragon Lee, and Ali is set to challenge Mysterio for the title at NXT No Mercy on September 30. Ali said that neither Dominik Mysterio nor Dragon Lee should be champions, and he's going to deal with both of them on the September 25 episode of WWE Raw. Ali's appearance on the main roster makes sense because he didn't get drafted after the 2023 WWE Draft, so he can show up on any brand.## He's been more active on NXT since June, with his most recent match on the main roster happening on the June 9 WWE SmackDown episode. ## The WWE Raw on September 25, 2023, has a packed schedule. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will have a championship rematch against The Judgment Day. Dominik will defend the NXT North American Title against Dragon Lee. Shinsuke Nakamura will address Seth Rollins' challenge. Tommaso Ciampa aims to move closer to an Intercontinental Title opportunity, and Otis will face "Big" Bronson Reed in a match. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Salt Lake City, September 19, 2023 - Another week, and WWE delivered yet another impressive show. This week's Monday Night edition emanated from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, UT, and featured a lineup packed with star power.## However, there were some changes made to the show due to certain wrestlers being absent. The main event showcased Jey Uso facing off against Drew McIntyre, and with The Judgment Day lurking at ringside, the main event became even more captivating. ## I expected a straightforward victory, but as often happens on the show, things didn't go as planned. Drew managed to defeat Jey, and Cody was seen assisting Jey after an attack by Judgment Day. ## Additionally, on the show, Becky Lynch issued an open challenge for the NXT Women's Title, which was accepted by Natalya. Unfortunately for Natalya, she ended up losing the match. Shinsuke Nakamura completely dominated Seth "Freakin" Rollins, and there were plenty of other exciting moments throughout the event. ## Let's check out the top 5 highlights below; ## #1. Drew McIntyre defeated Jey Uso ## The highlight of the night was Drew McIntyre vs. Jey Uso. With the two top stars wrestling, The Judgment Day sauntered their way down to ringside, appearing to cheer on Uso. Jey was seen planting The Judgment Day with Superkicks after they forced him to give the answer. This allowed Drew to recover and hit a huge Claymore to earn the victory. ## #2. Cody Rhodes Saves Jey Uso From The Judgement Day ## After the match, The Judgment Day got into the ring and unleashed a beatdown on Jey Uso. Drew McIntyre looked back but didn't come out to help. The music hit, and it was... Cody Rhodes who came out to aid Jey Uso. Cody worked it out better and cleaned the house. ## #3. Cody Rhodes defeated Dominik Mysterio ## The match of the night started with Cody Rhodes taking on Dominik. Cody Rhodes went for a Figure Four lock, and Dominik found himself in deep trouble at that moment. However, Dominik managed to save himself and sent Cody to the apron. Balor was outside, and he knocked Cody down. Dominik attempted the three amigos, but Cody evaded and went for a Cody Cutter. Cody successfully executed another Cross Rhodes for the cover and won the match. ## #4. Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Ricochet via Disqualification/ Seth Rollins Gets Invovled ## Rollins indeed left a sign that Nakamura would get a sneak attack when World Heavyweight Champion Seth “Freakin” Rollins tried to attack Nakamura before the match event started. Ricochet proved to be a match for Nakamura, lighting up Salt Lake City with aerial dives. The match ended up with a DQ with Ricochet attacking Nakamura with a chair. After the match, Rollins attacked Nakamura, but it was Nakamura who injured Seth “Freakin’ Rollins’ back. ## #5. Becky Lynch defeated Natalya to retain the NXT Women’s Title ## The bell rang, and Natalya began unloading punches on Becky. Becky was sent into the ring post and then to the floor. We went into a commercial break. ## Back from the break, Becky tackled Natalya to the mat. She attempted a back exploder for the cover, but Natalya kicked out. Becky then tried a Manhandle slam, but Natalya caught her from behind and went for a German Suplex. They found themselves on the top turnbuckle, and Natalya executed a Superplex, causing Becky to land hard on the mat. Natalya went for the cover, but it wasn't enough for the win. She then attempted the Sharpshooter but sent Becky into the post. ## Becky responded with a baseball slide that sent Natalya out of the ring and onto the floor. They got back into the ring, and Becky climbed to the top rope for a splash, but Natalya rolled out of the way, and Becky landed on her feet. There was a lot of scrambling, and both women attempted multiple inside cradles, with Becky ultimately getting the last laugh. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Salt Lake City, September 18 - Here are the top 3 things that could potentially happen this week on Raw, scheduled to air live on September 18, 2023, from Delta Center in Salt Lake City, UT. ## The show's lineup already looks pretty full, but fans wouldn't mind if there were some more surprises. As of now, they've added four things, including matches and segments. One of them involves Drew McIntyre trying to settle the score with Jey Uso. ## On top of that, Cody Rhodes is set to face off against the North American Champion, Dominik Mysterio, in a WWE Money In The Bank match. There's also a tag team match between New Day and the Viking Raiders, and it's a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match. Lastly, we've got Ricochet going head-to-head with Shinsuke Nakamura once again. ## #1. Nia Jax Takes On Raquel Rodriguez ## On last week's Raw, Rhea Ripley won against Raquel Rodriguez in a Women's World Title Match, but Nia Jax got involved and also took down Rhea Ripley. ## So, I believe Raquel Rodriguez should face Nia Jax in a one-on-one match to settle things. If not a match, we might see a face-off involving these two, possibly with Rhea Ripley getting involved too. ## #2. Seth Rollins To Involve Into Ricochet vs. Nakamura Match ## There's definitely a match coming up between Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura, but we don't know exactly when it'll happen. However, before that, fans will see Nakamura face off against Ricochet this week on Raw. ## #3. Drew McIntyre vs. Jey Uso To Have An Interesting End ## Jey is set for his first match since his Raw comeback last week, and he'll be facing Drew McIntyre. I can't confirm if there will be interference from The Bloodline family, but there might be something along those lines. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Allentown, 12 September - Fans had concerns about Matt Riddle's absence on last night's Raw, but it turns out there's more to the story. ## The reason for phrasing it as "Fans being concerned about his absence" is because Riddle has been in the news lately due to an allegation of sexual assault by an airport police officer at JFK airport. Riddle initially posted about it on Instagram but later deleted the post. ## A few hours later, TMZ and Ringside News provided additional information, reporting that Port Authority officers were called because of a disruptive individual disembarking from a plane, with Riddle allegedly being that person causing the disturbance. ## An interaction occurred between the police and Riddle, during which he reportedly apologized for his behavior. Another witness was also interviewed. At that time, no official police report was filed, and Riddle was simply released. However, according to the report, the Port Authority has launched an internal investigation. ## Riddle's absence from this week's Raw could have fueled speculation among fans. However, on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer explained that Riddle missed the show due to a double ear infection and bronchitis. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...
