Welcome to this debut review of All Elite Wrestling’s Women’s Tag Team Cup Tournament: Deadly Draw – Night One, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and this tournament is a part of an overall initiative to increase the appeal of Aew’s Women’s division, which has struggled to make a mark like the men’s wrestling has in that same league. We’re getting WCW’s BattleBowl: The Lethal Lottery/Tna’s Joker’s Wild rules here, with partners randomly being paired together as opposed to teams being made naturally. Let’s see if this comes together as something worth remembering, or is just Home Alone 3.
Match #1: The Nightmare Sisters (Brandi Rhodes & Allie with Dustin Rhodes & Qt Marshall) def. Mel & Penelope Ford (with Kip Sabian) – Quarter-Final Match
My Opinion: 2.9 out of 5 – This was cool, with Allie kicking ass and Mel doing pretty well as well.

[[tmz:video id="0_568r1jdk"]] Ex-wwe star Cameron -- real name Ariane Andrew -- says she's being Unfairly labeled a racist because she only dates white men ... telling TMZ Sports, "We all have a preference." Andrew -- who's black -- came under fire over the weekend after telling our photog she doesn't date black guys and thinks mixed raced couples make "beautiful babies." But Andrew says just because she's attracted to white guys doesn't make her a racist -- "It's a preference thing.

Ariane Andrew gained fame as WWE’s Cameron, but the former pro-wrestler says she’s actually in better shape now since retiring from the sport.
“I have more availability now to work out,” Andrew, 29, tells People. “I was on the road 300 days a year, so I wasn’t able to work out as intensely. Once we’d get back to the hotel or after a long travel day, you’re exhausted, so I wasn’t able to do as much with the WWE.”
Andrew explains there was no training schedule or fitness guidelines when she was in the WWE, so...

"WWE Tough Enough" will be revived for a second time, once again by USA Network, which announced the reality competition's return this morning at TCA. The show has had a long history: following three seasons on MTV, it aired a fourth season as a $1 million competition that was integrated into WWE's "SmackDown." After a six-year break, it returned to USA for a fifth season in 2010, but then was cancelled. There were reports last year that it might return on WWE network, but nothing materialized. Now, five years later, USA is again bringing it back again. Its return makes sense, and it's a natural fit for USA. The network also airs "WWE Raw," so there's already a built-in audience of pro wrestling fans. The last time USA broadcast the series, they aired it on Monday nights after wrestling. Many of the contestants from its various seasons have gone on to be part of WWE programs,...

As one of WWE’s B pay per views, you can’t really set expectations too high. Fortunately, Battleground delivered a mostly okay PPV, with some pretty awesome high points and equally disappointing lost points and bad booking.
We start the main card with the Usos successfully defending their titles in a pretty good 2 out of 3 falls match against Erick Rowan and Luke Harper of the Wyatt Family. First fall went to the Wyatt Family who spent most of it applying chin locks and stomping the legal Uso, playing the isolation game before Harper delivered a big boot to Jimmy for the pin. Second fall was much of the same, Rowan and Harper using their size and strength against their opponents until a beaten Jimmy tags in Jey who gets the roll up on Harper for fall number 2. With the momentum in their favour, Jey and Jimmy start kicking it up a notch,...

Without a shadow of a doubt, the best wrestling division in WWE at-present is not the always solid WWE tag team division. While great, they haven’t had the company’s most athletic in-ring match, and also have lacked as many unique characters and perpetually solid booking. The nod for WWE’s best division overall in the company is a unique one, that being the Nxt Women’s Division. Over the past 18 months, the women wrestling in WWE’s developmental territory have gone above and beyond the call of duty to establish the belt’s excellence. As well, aside from in-ring wrestling, other women in the promotion in roles both large and small have excelled (and continue to excel).
The best question to ask in pro wrestling these days isn’t about which of your favorite independent male grapplers of the past decade are going to have the most WWE success.

Ariane Andrew, who makes up half of the Funkadactyls, has got a lot more than just wrestling on her mind these days. The Total Divas star is fresh off recording her hot single "Bye Bye" and plans to continue to pursue music—but don't expect it to become her full-time job. The WWE Diva is still dedicated to her wrestling career and pursuing that Divas Championship. "I'm still working with music," Ariane explained. "It's like my second passion after the WWE and is something for me to have fun with." The Diva also hinted that season 3 of the show would bring some unexpected surprises and life-changing decisions.

Last night on WWE Main Event on the WWE Network, the Divas Champion Aj Lee successfully defended her title against Natalya.
Prior to the match, there was speculation via PWInsider that Aj could lose the title as a way to punish her due to the actions of her boyfriend Cm Punk. Instead Aj came out on top thanks to Tamina’s interference in a very competitive match that went nearly 15 minutes.
Regarding a possible Divas Title match at WrestleMania, the speculation is that it would be a match involving several divas. The most likely contenders are stars from Total Divas such as Nikki Bella, Brie Bella, Natalya, Naomi (if she’s healthy) and Cameron. It’s just a question of how many women they want to include in the match. It’s unlikely that they’re going to have a battle royal due to the other battle royal on the card,...

The WWE Superstar promised an epic face-off with the current World Heavyweight Champion — and he did Not disappoint!
John Cena‘s feud with Randy Orton has never been more intense, and on the Feb. 10 episode of Monday Night Raw, their rivalry came to a head — or, rather, Randy’s head came to the mat. Cena promised that his match against Orton would shift “the future” of his time with the WWE and I think it’s safe to say he made good on that promise.
John Cena Vs. Randy Orton — Is Their Feud Squashed?
To be fair, Orton put up a heck of a fight before eventually succumbing to The Prototype’s barrage of Attitude Adjustments. And if audience support is at all a factor, Orton was pretty much doomed from the start, as the massive crowd was not in his favor last night.

Previously on: Daniel Bryan beat Randy Orton and the crowd wanted Cm Punk. Unfortunately for them, he walked out and John Cena was sidelined with an injury.
The big news: Cena was back and his eye was healed, so he'll be good to go for "Elimination Chamber." He fought Orton in the main event of "WWE Raw."
The two had a great match, which included a Ddt from the top rope and an attempted punt by Orton. After trading finishers, it was Cena who got the win with a top rope leg drop and an Attitude Adjustment. Cena is in an interesting spot as "Wrestlemania XXX" gets closer. He's presumably not going to be in the title picture and was rumored at one point to be facing Bray Wyatt. The Wyatt Family is tied to The Shield at the moment though, so who knows where he'll end up.

Welcome back to the review and results write-up of WWE Raw, apologies for not providing a review for a couple of weeks, but here we are, back as normal.
Raw opens with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon standing in the ring, they talk about the upcoming Royal Rumble PPV and the match that will take place between the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Randy Orton, and the challenger, John Cena. Triple H begins to announce the return of a superstar but Orton instead comes out to a smattering of booes from the fans. Orton confronts Stephanie and Hunter about their poor treatment of him in recent weeks and how he should have been protected more by them and not put in matches with the likes of Cena. Triple H more or less tells Orton to “man up” and they book a rematch from last week between Orton and Kofi. For those who don’t know,...

Previously on: Randy Orton is king of the mountain as WWE World Heavyweight Champion, but Daniel Bryan is the man the people want to see. John Cena is still the star, though. Everyone else seems a bit lost in the shuffle.
The big news: There's not much of note. The holidays have arrived for WWE, giving "WWE Raw" a heavy Christmas vibe. Christmas carol singing contests, Divas wrestling in sexy Christmas costumes, and evil Santa Claus vs. good Santa Claus are the types of things you see when WWE is burning time until the new year.
The Authority kicks things off Monday (Dec. 23) by handing out candy to kids in the crowd, setting up matches for the night and letting Kane do his old fire shtick, which seems weird with Santa hats involved. They also give Orton the night off, one week after telling him he needed to be a fighting champion.

Being a WWE Diva is a busy and hectic roller coaster of a career. So after a long week of traveling and kicking butt in the ring, we assume Divas want to come home to some peace and quiet. Ariane Andrew came home to the exact opposite. In this deleted scene from Sunday's Total Divas, Ariane walks through the door of her apartment and is scolded by her live-in boyfriend, Vincent Isayan, for not bringing food home. As she walks closer to him, something happens that quickly escalates the situation... Ariane steps in poop left on the carpet by her Chihuahua, Glitty. Vincent starts laughing at the poop on Ariane's shoe, which lights her already short fuse. The WWE Diva has been working on some anger...

The louder half of The Funkadactyls, Ariane proved she could handle her own in the first half of Total Divas, and she's not letting up anytime soon.

Since The Authority has made themselves known in WWE over the last few months, many have found the product hard to watch. For a while there was solace in the development of Nxt as a micro-universe inside the overall WWE corporate struct. But more and more, there seems to be crossover in the last few weeks. With the mention of Xavier Woods and the addition of Jbl as the interim general manager of the show, no place is safe from the Authority. Let’s talk about it, beginning with this week’s Main Event.
Main Event comes to you from Birmingham, Alabama this week. The Miz and Josh Matthews are on commentary for this episode. Matthews with his shoulder in a sling is selling the attack by all Alberto del Rio last Friday on Smackdown. Apparently he didn’t care of the unsafe work environment that he complained about after the incident.

WWE's "Night of Champions" ended on an awkward high note. Daniel Bryan won the WWE Championship --- again -- but it wasn't without some controversy. The referee's count was very fast, but it wasn't acknowledged by anyone.
The big news: Fast forward one night, and "WWE Raw" kicks off with Bryan heading to the ring with the title, as the crowd screams "Yes!" Daniel doesn't get much celebrating time before Triple H comes out. He points out the obvious fast count before making the referee, Scott Armstrong, head to the ring to explain himself.
Armstrong plays it off as some sort of conspiracy that he cooked up with Bryan, who says he played no part in it. Triple H strips Bryan of the title, leaving it vacant. If WWE wants fans to ever buy Daniel Bryan as a legitimate champion, having him only hold the title less than a...

Last week, we saw a new corporate culture emerge on the WWE’s flagship broadcast Monday Night Raw. This new regime of the COO and the McMahons made clear their new chosen son, Randy Orton, and their opinion on the People’s champion Daniel Bryan. Triple H gave the reasoning for the boardroom takeover of the WWE title as it being better for business. Is it really? That question became more pronounced on this weeks edition from Phoenix, Arizona.
The show begins with Triple H coming out recapping the last week of WWE surprisingly glossing over Smackdown. He says that he had no problem with Daniel Bryan until he insulted his wife last week. Now it’s personal. Triple H gloats by saying, Randy Orton has been good for business. He says ratings are up, social media buzz is at an all-time high and business is booming. He then brings out the champion.

With all the over-the-top McMahon craziness from Monday night, people may gloss over the Wednesday night offering of the Main Event and Nxt. But in reality it is still without a doubt the best one-two punch of WWE produced programming all week. Especially this week as we get a double dose of crazy, sexy and cool with Divas Champion Aj Lee. Plus, we see an awesome two out of three falls match with Antonio Césaro and Sami Zayn. Let us begin with this week’s Main Event.
The show begins with a solid six man tag with the Usos and Kofi Kingston versus The Shield. Everybody was on point as both trios gave it their all. At one point, the babyfaces did an amazing triple dive on the Hounds of Justice. The match had great back-and-forth between the two sides. Kofi Kingston definitely looks the best since his return to the WWE.

There’s no doubt there was a lot of outrage on the internet following the conclusion of WWE SummerSlam. There were a lot of questions with Triple H, Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan as Raw rolled into Anaheim. In the city of the Anaheim Angels, was there a devil on the shoulder of The Game? What’s next for John Cena and is Daniel Bryan’s big push over? About a month ago, I asked the question is Daniel Bryan the new Stone Cold Steve Austin? Judging from this weeks episode It definitely seems like that’s the case. While he may not swearing or lewd he seems to be set up to be the main protagonist against the new McMahon-Helmsley regime.
The show begins with John Cena who comes out and explains that he is just as disgusted by the actions of Triple H. Cena says that Bryan deserves to be champion.

Just six days from the biggest party of the summer in La, WWE rolled into the Golden State capital of Sacramento for Raw. Was it a California dream of a go home show? Or a party pooper as we head into Staples Center this Sunday? Well, let’s break it down and I’ll give my thoughts.
The night begins with Daniel Bryan making his way to the ring to compete in a rematch with Wade Barrett. Daniel Bryan, with rally towel in hand (somewhere the former Ricky Ortiz is complaining of gimmick infringement) and wearing The Beard Is Here shirt as it is announced that Brad Maddox is the special guest referee. There wasn’t much to this match as the story was Maddox does a quick three count giving Barrett a victory. Bryan attempts to go after Maddox, but the Raw General Manager quickly exits the ring heading up the ramp.

From the Peeps and Jericholics to the Emmalation of true Bolievers, all fan bases were well represented for the most part. But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves, how about we begin with this week’s Main Event from Gamecock country North Charleston, South Carolina.

Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring for his Wednesday night debut against last week’s color commentator extraordinaire Cody Rhodes. Overall, a really good back and forth match as to be expected.

However, it soon became a family affair with the reappearance of the one and only Billion-Dollar Princess Stephanie McMahon and daddy dearest Vince McMahon.
The opening segment this week involves Stephanie and Vince pleading with the fans to agree with their decision that Triple H would not compete against Curtis Axel. Even at one point saying, that The Game was beneath Axel and should not risk his health for someone on his level. I know what they’re going for making Triple H a Rocky like figure competing against the odds. But it just didn’t work well. WWE has set such a superhuman precedent with John Cena,...

After the much talked about debut of his new ‘The Funkasaurus’ gimmick on Monday night’s Raw SuperShow, the WWE posted a backstage video of Brodus Clay and his dancers to the web this week. You can watch the video below as Clay talks about how pleased he was with the reaction he got from the crowd and how those skeptical about his gimmick should ask his squashed opponent Johnny Curtis as to whether Clay is still a threat in the ring.
As reported earlier, the two dancers by his side are Cameron Lynn (real name Ariane Andrew, first cut last season of Tough Enough) and Naomi (who finished second in the third season of Nxt).
The video is interesting as it shows that Brodus Clay really does have legitimate charisma and seems to be a good talker which definitely helps his chances of longevity with the gimmick.

In what was a rather astonishing sight to see, WWE finally pulled the trigger on Brodus Clay’s debut after two months of teasing on last night’s WWE Raw from Texas, and in a very unexpected way.
Billed from ‘Planet Funk’, Clay returned as “The Funkasaurus”, a big heavy dancing goof that was accompanied to the ring by two hot performers who were actually WWE developmental wrestlers Cameron Lynn and Naomi from Fcw. Both were recognisable, Cameron Lynn (real name Ariane Andrew, first cut last season of Tough Enough) and Naomi (finished second in the third season of Nxt).
He came out to the ‘Somebody Call My Mama’ theme song, the same song Ernest “The Cat” Miller used for his animated character for his brief three month stint at the end of 2003. Amazingly this version of Clay was actually so goofy it was getting over with the fans and...
