In today's roundup, we take a look at the WWE Superstar who has become the WWC Universal champion, Seth Rollins' next challenger, Xavier Woods' getting injured and Shelton Benjamin's new name.
But first, let's kick off with Becky vs Styles and the former US champion who's going to leave WWE soon:
Becky Lynch confronts AJ Styles after Raw
Monday Night Raw ended with Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman becoming the new RAW Tag Team champions. The newly formed team defeated Karl Anderson and Luka Gallows, The OC, to become the champions.
Former WWE writer buries Judgment Day HERE
While the match kept everyone glued, the end shocked a lot of fans. However, it was something that took place after the show went off the air that stunned the fans even more.
Trending
Becky Lynch made her way to the rind and confronted AJ Styles at ringside as per reports. The US Champion was at ringside during the match as his mates, Anderson and Gallows were involved in it.
It is not clear what happened and why it did but it was reported that the two exchanged words before Becky made her way to the ring for the dark match. She took on Evans for the RAW title and, without a doubt, retained it successfully.
Kalisto hints at leaving WWE
Hours before Monday Night Raw, Kalisto stunned the WWE Universe and tweeted that he was set to become a free agent in 10 months. The former United States champion made it very clear his contract with the company was coming to an end.
Braun Strowman, who has been involved in matche against Kalisto, including a dumpster match on RAW in 2017, replied to him as well. The current RAW Tag Team champion sent a cheeky 'Adios' to the Lucha House Party member.
Kalisto has since the deleted the tweet but it looks like he won't be in the company for long.
Shelton Benjamin to new get a hilarious new name
Last week, it was reported that Chad Gable was set to get a new name. Reports suggested that the former tag team champion was set to be named 'Shorty G' from now on.
Reports now suggest that Gable won't be the only one to have his name changed. His former tag team partner, Shelton Benjamin is also set to be a hilarious new name! The former Intercontinental champion is set to be called 'Shelty B'.
Wrestling News report that WWE are set to reform the tag-team and give Gable and Benjamin a solid push from now. Shorty G and Shelty B might be hilarious nicknames but it looks like WWE are trying to get to the teenagers with such catchy and trendy new names.
Benjamin has been constantly calling Gable 'Shorty' in his interviews and it looks like WWE are laying the groundwork for the names to come into effect soon.
Xavier Woods injured on RAW
Xavier Woods and Big E might be SmackDown Live Superstars, but they were in action against The Revival on Monday Night RAW. The SmackDown Live tag-team champions won the match via DQ after Randy Orton delivered an RKO outta nowhere to Big E during the match.
Kofi Kingston ran to help his New Day brothers but was overpowered by Orton, Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder. In the brutal assault, Woods came out the worst and suffered an injury.
WWE released a statement and said:
SmackDown Tag Team Champion Xavier Woods of The New Day was rushed to a local medical facility for further examination after being attacked by The Revival and Randy Orton on Monday Night Raw. Stay with WWE’s digital platforms as this story develops.
It is not clear if he will be on tonight's SmackDown Live episode as WWE have not yet provided an update on the injury.
Seth Rollins picks next challenger for the Universal Championship
Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman might be the RAW Tag team champions right now but it looks like they will be facing each other soon. The Architect has named the Monster Among Men as his next challenger but it is not clear when they will be fighting in the ring.
Strowman set his sights on the WWE Universal Championship last week, just minutes after helping Rollins and Ricochet against The OC. Last night, he teamed up with Rollins to take on Karl Anderson and Luka Gallows but his eyes were still set on the top prize of Monday Night RAW.
It will be interesting to see how WWE go about with things as Strowman and Rollins are being pitched as faces on the show right now. Moreover, they are the tag-team champions too, so who turns on who will be the question on everyone's mind right now.
Epico becomes WWC Universal champion
Epico might be still under contract with WWE but he has been crowned the new WWC Universal Champion! The Colon member defeated “The Precious One” Gilbert to pick up the title.
The new champion is now set to defend the title against another WWE Superstar on September 14th. Epico is set to put the title on the line against his brother, Primo in the matchup at Septiembre Negro.
WWC is a wrestling promotion back in Puerto Rico and is tun by their father. The move might have been sanctioned by WWE management as it would be a big risk for them to take part without getting permission.
The Colons last wrestled in a WWE show back in February when they were involved in a dark match after SmackDown Live. WWE creative currently do not have plans for the former WWE Tag Team Champions, and it won't be a surprise if they continue helping WWC.
