Mercedes Monè Loses the IWGP Women's World Championship

The wrestling world is stunned right now because Mercedes Mone lost the IWGP Women’s World Championship to Mayu Iwatani in the co-main event of the Queen of Stardom show that took place earlier today. In a match that saw Mone taunt Iwatani throughout and play the heel, Iwatani pinned Mone after hitting a devastating Dragon Suplex.

But the surprises didn't end there. After the match, during the press conference, Mone announced that she would be competing at NJPW's Resurgence next month in Long Beach on May 21st, and she would challenge Iwatani for the IWGP Women's Championship in her rematch.

This announcement has created a buzz in the wrestling community, as fans eagerly anticipate the rematch between the two top wrestlers. Mone's challenge shows her determination and resilience, and her willingness to compete against Iwatani once again is a testament to her competitive spirit.

Iwatani, on the other hand, is a force to be reckoned with, having proved her mettle in the ring by defeating Mone and winning the championship. Her victory at the Queen of Stardom show was a significant achievement, and she will be keen to defend her title against Mone.

The upcoming rematch is expected to be a highly-anticipated event, as the two wrestlers have a history of intense rivalry. The fans can expect a high-energy, action-packed bout between two of the best wrestlers in the world.

According to Dave Meltzer, she has signed a new contract with Bushiroad to continue competing at NJPW events. I think this is the best fit for her and she should continue to wrestler for NJPW. I'd love to see her at Forbidden Door in June but I personally doubt that will happen.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show. WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.

Maybe the third time in the future will be the charm. I wonder what happens to Parker Boudreaux. He has the look of a future World Heavyweight Cha
