Zoey Stark Wins Battle Royal, Set To Face Rhea Ripley At Survivor Series

by

Zoey Stark wins the number one contenders Battle Royal on the Nov. 6 episode of Raw to earn a title opportunity. She will be facing Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship on Nov. 25 at Survivor Series.


Before the match, Becky Lynch was being interviewed about her participation in the Battle Royal. Nia Jax would sneak up behind her and the two exchanged words. Jax reminded Lynch that she punched her in the face and broke her nose all those years ago. To where The Man responded that she went on to main event WrestleMania while Jax got fired.

Stark outlasted 13 other women to win this match. It should have been 15, but as Becky Lynch was making her way down the ramp, Xia Li knocked her out with the roundhouse kick. Much like she did to Candice LeRae last week. This had Lynch taken out of the match and General Manager Adam Pearce removed Li from the match.

The match would be given plenty of time and showcased many women. This included the tag team work of Kayden Carter and Katana Chance, and the Raw in-ring official debut of Ivy Nile who eliminated both Carter and Chance.

The match would get down to a final five of Nile, Stark, Nia Jax, Raquel Rodriguez, and Shayna Baszler. It would take Rodriguez, Baszler, and Stark to eliminate Jax. Nile was on the ring apron which angered Jax who pulled her off, eliminating Nile in the process. Rodriguez would be eliminated next as this left Stark and Baszler to slug it out on the ring apron. Finally Stark would get the win after Baszler had both feet touch the floor.

This match also had Tegan Nox return from her brief injury.

The order of elimination was –

Nikki Cross
Piper Niven
Maxxine Dupri
Kayden Carter
Katana Chance
Chelsea Green
Indi Hartwell
Nattie
Tegan Nox
Nia Jax
Ivy Nile
Raquel Rodriguez
Shayna Baszler

Winner: Zoey Stark

Moments later, Ripley was being interviewed and was confronted by Stark.

Flair & Deville Brawl On SmackDown; Rodriguez Added To Royal Rumble

by

For those that missed the Jan. 13 episode of SmackDown, there were two women’s matches and a segment involving SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair continuing a feud with Sonya Deville.

The first women we saw during the night was a backstage segment between Liv Morgan, Maxxine Dupri, Emma, and Raquel Rodriguez. In the locker room, both Emma and Maxxine were questioning Morgan’s desire to enter the Royal Rumble in the number one position. Emma was giving her advice more out of care whereas Maxxine pretty much said she was dumb to want to enter at number one.

Rodriguez would enter the conversation and agree with both Emma and Maxxine. Morgan took offense to this and said she recently had her palm read. She wanted Rodriguez to take a look at her palm but instead, Morgan slapped her across the face. Rodriguez said she is tired of people not realizing she is the strongest woman in the locker room. This led to a match between the two later in the night. Rodriguez also declared herself for the Rumble.

The first match was between Tegan Nox and Xia Li. It was a quick affair between the two only lasting a few minutes. The winner of the match would be Nox after she avoided a spinning kick from Li. Nox hit the Shiniest Wizard to get the pinfall victory.

Valhalla was involved in a Viking Raiders vignette calling out Drew McIntyre & Sheamus.

The second match as mentioned earlier was Morgan facing Rodriguez. Lasting a bit longer than the first women’s match, this one went to Rodriguez. As the match came to its conclusion, Morgan pulled out a table despite this not being any type of stipulation match. She set it up and placed Rodriguez on top of it on the outside. As Morgan climbed to the top, Rodriguez would roll off the table and got back in the ring. Still on the turnbuckle, Morgan went to hit a crossbody but was swatted down by Rodriguez. Rodriguez followed up with the Tejana Bomb to get the pin.

Lastly, Sonya Deville was backstage in Adam Pearce’s office demanding a rematch for the SmackDown Women’s Title against Charlotte Flair. Deville failed to get the victory last week and wants another match. Pearce explained to her that’s not how it works, she just lost and has to go to the back of the line. Deville wouldn’t accept this and said she will get her rematch essentially her way.

Moments later after a commercial break, Deville attacked Flair backstage and the two entered into a brawl. The brawl was broken up multiple times by officials but it did last a few minutes.

Updated list of 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble Participants –

  • Liv Morgan
  • Candice LeRae
  • Rhea Ripley
  • Raquel Rodriguez

Xia Li Assists Damage CTRL To Retain The Women’s Tag Team Titles

by

On the Dec. 16 episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Damage CTRL successfully retained their Women’s Tag Team Championships after defeating Liv Morgan and Tegan Nox. However, they did have some help, and not just from Bayley.

The match opened the show and the two teams put on a solid match but it reached its conclusion after Nox had a moment with Bayley at the time keeper area. Nox dumped Bayley over the barricade in order to remove her from the situation when a woman in a hoodie kicked Nox. The assailant would be dragged to the back by security immediately after the attack.

This allowed IYO SKY to get Nox back in the ring, deliver a moonsault, and pin her to retain the tag titles for Damage CTRL.

A little later during the show, a WWE Exclusive appeared on WWE’s social media. It would show the hooded assailant being brought to the back as Adam Pearce would reveal who it was that attacked Nox. It would end up being Xia Li. Pearce would order her to go to his office, but there was no follow-up on this for the rest of the show.

Other women from this episode includes Zelina Vega, Valhalla, and B-Fab. Much like last week, all three women were at ringside for their respective stables. There was a triple threat of Hit Row, The Vking Raiders, and Legado del Fantasma to determine the number one contenders for the men’s tag team titles.

During the match, Vega would get involved as she hit Ashante Thee Adonis with a head scissor takedown. B-Fab delivered a bicycle kick to Vega knocking her out of the ring before Valhalla kicked B-Fab in the throat. Both B-Fab and Valhalla were on the outside by commentary when Vega would launch off the second rope and lay out Valhalla.

Lastly, Raquel Rodriguez would be interviewed backstage. She confirmed that she would be in the Gauntlet match set for next week to determine the number one contender for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Shayna Baszler and current SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey would appear and attack the already injured Rodriguez.
