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 t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
