SNINA, Slovakia – Minnesota phenom Mark Hall capped off a record setting performance by the U.S. at the FILA Cadet World Championships, becoming the third American to bring home the gold in men’s freestyle.

Hall won five matches on the day at 76 kg/167.5 lbs. to lead the U.S. charge. In the gold medal bout, Hall would face Asian Championships runner-up Sumiyabazar Zandanbud of Mongolia. Hall struck first, connecting on a shrug attempt to take the early 2-0 lead heading into the second period. Hall added one more takedown in the second off a Zandanbud shot attempt, before giving up a pushout, to earn the 4-1 victory.

The win by Hall marked the third Cadet World Champion for the U.S. freestyle team in Slovakia, as he joined Spencer Lee and Mason Manville atop the world standings. Continue reading at www.teamusa.org

Shane McMahon is still serving as the Commissioner of Smackdown on Tuesday nights, but it may be a while before he returns to TV. It was reported and later confirmed by WWE that Shane McMahon suddenly underwent surgery for a hernia that he suffered before his match at WrestleMania 34. The latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio released some additional details on McMahon’s health and return to WWE, and it was explained that he may not even be making appearances on Smackdown for a few weeks, let alone start wrestling again. After the procedure that he just went through, McMahon is not expected to compete until the SummerSlam pay-per-view this August at the earliest.
Fans all over the nation have been paying to see the stars of NXT for years now, but the developmental brand still brings in a few surprise guests every once in a while. It has become a tradition to see WWE Superstars and Legends sitting in the audience during the NXT Takeover events, but a few familiar faces in WWE recently attended an NXT live event. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T and Bruce Prichard appeared in the ring during an NXT live event in Houston over the weekend. With The Revival appearing at an NXT show in Oklahoma City before Tyler Breeze wrestling at a show in Jacksonville last week, who knows who may be showing up at the next NXT live event?

The battle for the television rights to Raw and Smackdown is still ongoing at the moment, albeit with a bit of a twist made last week. It was reported a few days ago that NBCUniversal may have decided to let go of Smackdown in order to keep Monday Night Raw on the USA Network. According to a recent Wrestling Observer Radio show, this change in the TV bidding process could end up leading to Smackdown expanding to three hours every week. The possible acquisition of the show by a different network could very well lead to WWE’s Tuesday night show becoming three hours long, much like how Raw is currently broadcasted. WWE’s new TV deals are expected to be announced within the next few months.

St. Cloud, Minn. – The #5 ranked St. Cloud State University wrestling team spent the weekend of Oct. 24-26 participating in team retreat at “Camp Courage.” In addition to preparing for the upcoming 2014-15 season at the retreat, the Huskies also helped lend a hand with fall chores around camp. Camp Courage is a non-profit camp for children and adults with disablities located near Maple Lake, Minn.

“We would like to thank True Friends for their hospitality in allowing SCSU wrestling to do its annual team retreat on their property,” said SCSU head coach Steve Costanzo. “Our guys really look forward to this weekend during the year. The retreat gives our team a chance to get away from the day-to-day grind of academics and training and get to know one another. It is perhaps one of the most important early season events that we engage in as a team.”

The Huskies enjoyed an annual chili feed dinner and took part in friendly games of activities throughout the evening. In keeping up with tradition, Huskies wrestlers and coaches gathered around the evening campfire to discuss team goals, expectations and of course a good old joke. The Huskies also helped the camp prepare for the upcoming winter season by splitting firewood and painting picnic tables during the weekend.

“I felt like this was a great event for our guys,” said assistant coach Brady Wilson. “Team building is so important among athletic teams. We really needed this time together to get to know one another and understand what each of us expects from this season.”

The Huskies open up their 2014-15 campaign on Thursday, November 6, as they host their Annual Black/Red Classic in Halenbeck Hall. SCSU earned a number five national ranking in the 2014-15 Division II preseason poll. Last year, the Huskies claimed their third consecutive NSIC championships with an 8-0 record and also scored a 19-1 overall record while finishing the season in sixth place at the 2014 NCAA Division II championships.

The New Day To Join The Miz on “Miz TV” During SmackDown LIVE Tonight:

The New Day emerged victorious over The Bar last Tuesday in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match, which left the WWE Universe wondering one thing: Which member of the pancake-devouring trio will enter the melee on June 17 in Chicago?
One Superstar is vowing to get to the bottom of that mystery – The Miz. The A-Lister invited The New Day to join him on “Miz TV” tonight on a video posted to Twitter Friday afternoon, where he promised to get the exclusive on which New Day member will try and climb to new heights.

3 Members of The New Day, but only 1 enters #MITB. This Tuesday on #SDLive, find out on #MizTV which member will be joining MY match pic.twitter.com/5tE5K3iVSO

WWE cameras caught up with the four-time tag team champions shortly after. Kofi Kingston, Big E, and Xavier Woods accused The Miz of being a “wedge-driver” by trying to get between their bond of friendship, while explaining that they like the air of mystery surrounding their participation in Money in the Bank. After all, if one of them becomes Mr. Money in the Bank, they all do!

The #NewDay has one word for @mikethemiz: #WedgeDriver! #MizTV on #SDLive this Tuesday is sure to be entertaining! @TrueKofi @XavierWoodsPhD @WWEBigE pic.twitter.com/lUl5YtjYIo

Lana & Billie Kay To Clash in Women’s Money in the Bank Qualifying Match Tonight on SmackDown LIVE:
One of SmackDown LIVE’s remaining spots in the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match will be decided tonight when Lana clashes with The IIconics’ Billie Kay.
The Ravishing Russian is looking to join her husband Rusev, who has already qualified for the Men’s Ladder Match, in Chicago. Lana is already having visions of she and her husband lording their contracts over Team Blue as Mr. & Mrs. Money in the Bank.
However, Billie Kay will not be a pushover. The Femme Fatale, in a word association game with Peyton Royce, declared that she is a winner, the Money in the Bank briefcase is a perfect accessory, the contract will make her a champion and the future will be, of course, IIconic.
Who will advance to Chicago and the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match? Find out tonight on SmackDown LIVE!
Naomi To face Sonya Deville in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match Tonight on SmackDown LIVE:
Sonya Deville asked for another opportunity to qualify for the Women’s Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and she will get one tonight on SmackDown LIVE, when she faces Naomi.
The former Absolution member believes that because Mandy Rose was the one who tapped out to Becky Lynch’s Dis-arm-her in last week’s Triple Threat qualifier, she still deserved another chance to advance to Chicago on June 17, taking to social media to state her case.

.@WWE_MandyRose and I will always be a team, but I didn’t tap out on #SDLive last week. So I still deserve my opportunity to qualify for #MITB. Make it happen, boss. @RealPaigeWWE
— Sonya Deville (@SonyaDevilleWWE) May 19, 2018

She was granted a second chance, but she won’t be facing a pushover. Deville will have to defeat former SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi, who’s looking for a path to claim the title for a third time.

Ohhhh the sass on ya, @SonyaDevilleWWE, they grow up so fast…OK, you get your #MITB qualifying match this Tuesday on #SDLive against…@NaomiWWE. Let’s see if you can stand on your two feet, sweetheart. https://t.co/jCjeKvSL7e

The Dardanes grew up in Chicago, but they have a passion for the outdoors, whether that’s hunting, fishing, hiking or camping. One of the great aspects of the University of Minnesota campus is that it offers them the chance to live in a city, but have easy access to their favorite outdoor pastimes just minutes outside the Twin Cities.

New episodes of “Minnesota Wrestling: Through the Lens” debut every other Thursday throughout the wrestling season. The series offers family, friends and fans an unprecedented look into everything that makes the Golden Gopher wrestling program unique. Episodes can be viewed on GopherSports.com, as well as on the Gopher Wrestling playlist on YouTube. Each episode of the series will also be shared with fans via the Gopher Wrestling Facebook and Twitter pages.

Beyond Wrestling & Women’s Wrestling Revolution recently held their All Day Event which emanated from the Electric Haze in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Beyond Wrestling All Day Event was highlighted by Mia Yim facing Keith Lee in the Main Event, while The Women’s Wrestling Revolution All Day Event was highlighted by Deonna Purrazzo taking on Davienne in the Main Event. Below are the full results from both shows:
Beyond All Day Results:
Before the first match Team Pazuzu issued an open challenge to any team and it was answered by AR Fox & his Skulk.

– Team Pazuzu (Angel Ortiz, Chris Dickinson, Jaka & Mike Draztik) def. The Skulk (Adrian Alanis, Leon Ruff, Liam Gray & Tommy Maserati) by pinfall with a combination double stomp / powerbomb / neckbreaker on Gray.
– AR Fox def. Jerome Daniels with a low blow.
– Cam Zagami (c) def. Green Ant to retain the Chikara Young Lions Cup.
– Josh Briggs def. Jonathan Gresham by pinfall with the M5.

– Joey Janela def. WALTER by pinfall, reversing the Gojira Clutch into a pin.
The show took a brief intermission at this point.
– Robo The Punjabi Lion def. Anthony Greene by pinfall with a spear. After the match, Greene attacks Robo with his loaded fanny pack but Samara gets the better of him with a DDT and runs the Retro-sexual and his Platinum Honeys off.

– David Starr def. Timothy Thatcher by pinfall with an arm-trap piledriver.
– Wheeler YUTA def. Matt Riddle by pinfall with a bridging pin out of the turnbuckles.
– Mia Yim def. Keith Lee by pinfall, reversing the Ground Zero into a victory roll pin. After the match, Keith gets on the mic and puts Mia over and says that he wanted to face her because she’s one of the best on the goddamned planet. He then says that today and yesterday were two of the most important days in his independent wrestling career, and the truth is that it is him that should thank them, because without the Beyond Wrestling crowd, Keith Lee wouldn’t be shit. He then talks about the possibilities, where he’s going, what’s next, but first he’s taking a break, going into nature where he won’t be challenged by bears, although he would German suplex a bear. He then says that he’s gonna relax a little bit and his only request is whatever he does in the future, be there to support him, and more importantly, whether he’s here or not, you support Beyond Wrestling with the same love he has for it. He then literally thanks everyone in the building, bids that they keep it Limitless and continue to bask in his glory, and that’s it for Keith Lee in Beyond Wrestling. Well, not quite. Rich Palladino calls him back in the ring, and Denver Colorado gets in the ring to present him with a painting to send him off for real.
WWR All Day Results:
– Team PAWG (Jordynne Grace & LuFisto) def. Team Adams (Karen Q & Tasha Steelz) by pinfall with Weapon of Ass Destruction on Q.
– Allie Recks def. Delmi Exo by pinfall with a spear.
– Samara def. Oceanea by pinfall with a schoolboy. After the match, Oceanea attacks, but Samara is able to fend her off. Hermit Crab jumps her, Robo the Punjabi Lion makes the save and puts the crustacean away.
– Kris Stadtlander def. Widow Belmont by pinfall with a scissors kick.
– Bird & The Bee (Solo Darling & Willow Nightingale) def. Alisha Edwards & Gilian Leigh by pinfall with The Talk on Edwards in a Lucha Rules Match.
– Kimber Lee def. Penelope Ford by pinfall with the senton atomico.
– Skylar def. Chelsea Green by pinfall with a Pedigree.
– “Hot Sauce” Tracy Williams (c) def. Tessa Blanchard by pinfall with a piledriver to retain the Powerbomb.tv Independent Wrestling Title.
Deonna Purrazzo comes out and cuts a promo before the next match. She mentions that she wasn’t even supposed to be here today, but unfortunately Stardom thought she was an Italian citizen and she had to miss the tour. So she’s here tonight and she was supposed to issue an open challenge, but Paul Crockett spoiled it on commentary earlier and so her opponent is Davienne.
– Deonna Purrazzo def. Davienne by submission with a tilt-a-whirl Fujiwara armbar. After the match, a handshake was offered and accepted and Deonna gets back on the mic. She says that the best part about WWR is the mix of talent in the back, girls that have just started training, girls that just work locally, and girls that travel the world, and getting to compete here against some of the best in the world, well, she can’t explain how much that means to her. Last month Jordynne Grace beat her, but hopefully this win makes up for that and one day she would love to meet Jordynne in the ring again. So, she’s finally gonna get to go to Stardom now that her visa correctly says she’s an American citizen and she’s gonna miss a few months here because of that, but it’s okay because big things are coming and hopefully everyone will still come and support great women’s wrestling here at WWR Pro.

The card for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view is truly beginning to take shape as every single member of both of the titular ladder matches were confirmed earlier in the week. In addition to the ladder matches, a few other championship matches from Raw and Smackdown have been confirmed for the show recently as well. Another match was announced for the Money in the Bank pay-per-view earlier today, and it appears to be a rematch from last month’s Backlash show. Although Daniel Bryan defeated Big Cass at that show, it is clear that the feud is far from over. As a result, WWE has just confirmed that Bryan and Cass will face each other once again at Money in the Bank later this month.

It was common for a wrestler to be accompanied to the ring by a manager back in the day, but that trend has largely been diminished over the years. Aside from Paul Heyman working as Brock Lesnar’s advocate, there are no male managers on WWE programming right now at all. According to former WWE writer Jimmy Jacobs during an interview with Fightful, the company had a policy in the past that stated that they do not hire male managers anymore. Jacobs does believe that the trend may return over time, but WWE will mostly be sticking to having valets accompany wrestlers to the ring. WWE had The Authors of Pain split away from their manager Paul Ellering after they were called up from NXT to Raw earlier this year.

A ton of top WWE talent first became recognized in a promotion called Ring of Honor. The likes of AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Roderick Strong, Adam Cole, Daniel Bryan, and several others all made a name for themselves in ROH before they arrived to WWE. There now appears to be an additional name from the promotion that the company is interested in hiring. According to PWInsider, current ROH World Champion Dalton Castle in on WWE’s radar. It was mentioned that Castle is the only member of the current ROH roster that WWE is likely to pursue aggressively after his current deal with the promotion expires. Castle is heavily rumored to be losing his ROH title to Cody Rhodes before the All In show on September 1st.

The main event for the 7/7 WWE live event at Madison Square Garden has been changed. Roman Reigns vs. Jinder Mahal was the original billed main event but now they are listing the main event as Seth Rollins defending the Intercontinental Championship against Finn Balor and Elias in a Triple Threat Match.
Earlier, it was announced that The Undertaker would be making his return to MSG for the first time in 8 years so it’s possible that they could be planning on Taker vs. Mahal at MSG. Both Mahal and Reigns are still scheduled to appear but they are no longer listed in a match together
The Nia Jax vs. Ronda Rousey match for the Raw Women’s Championship is still listed on the MSG website.

Other names advertised to appear: Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Bobby Roode, Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Dolph Ziggler, Matt Hardy, and Bray Wyatt.
