Lesnar looked like he was going to cash in his Money in the Bank contract before Paul Heyman fell through the ropes, distracted his client and allowed Rollins to deliver a low blow. This then led to Rollins nailing Lesnar with a number of chair shots that allowed him to escape from the ring with his championship. Seth Rollins wasn’t a hundred percent but he was still able to walk out with his championship around his waist but is this because WWE has much bigger plans when it comes to this scenario?...

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can. Two months into the new era or this “experiment” in brand specific programming, I tend to watch Tuesday nights more because of the potential for better matches and more compelling segments. I don’t think anyone really knows why Monday Night Raw isn’t laying the Smackdown – see how I did that – on its baby brother. What I do know it is possible the reasons for the blue team’s success isn’t as much what it is doing right as it is more of what the red brand is doing wrong....

It has been entertaining, especially in 2016, but the concept has become rather tiring for the fan to watch. There are many factors that lean towards SmackDown vs RAW actually being a bad idea for this year’s Survivor Series pay-per-view. On the night, the matches will almost certainly deliver if the pairings work. But on the whole, WWE needs to re-think the entire brand warfare concept. Maybe it’s best to drop it for just this one year, if not more....

However, it’s only fair to judge a PPV based on how it left you feeling, and usually, this means the main event has to deliver. Sadly, the main event of this show was a disaster, both in terms of booking and long-term implications. In order to get to grips with what exactly went wrong, here are five reasons why the finish of Survivor Series 2017 was one of the worst in the company’s history:...

Dhoni is widely considered one of the best finishers in the history of limited-overs cricket. However, despite being one of the fittest players in the team, age is catching up to him and a lot of critics are raising questions regarding his place in the team. Here are a few reasons why the Indian cricket team still need MS Dhoni: #1 Tactical genius Known to have one of the best brains in world cricket, as a captain, the strategies implemented by Dhoni work more often than not for India and his IPL team....

It’s understandable to an extent – McGregor is the biggest draw in the sport and a rematch with Khabib following the post-fight brawl at UFC 229 would probably make the UFC a hell of a lot of money – but from a sporting perspective, it doesn’t make sense. Not when Tony Ferguson is waiting in the wings. In perhaps the most exciting fight of 2018, ‘El Cucuy’ recovered from being badly hurt to simply destroy Anthony Pettis on Saturday, and after 11 straight wins in the Octagon, surely he has to be considered the top contender for Khabib’s title....

Tony Ferguson has been asking for a fight before the end of 2020, and he wanted to fight UFC newcomer Michael Chandler. But that fight did not materialize. Now, Ferguson has found a formidable opponent in Charles Oliveira to secure his position in the title run once again, after losing the top contender spot to Justin Gaethje in May 2020. UFC 256 will be Tony Ferguson’s first appearance since that heartbreaking knockout loss to ‘The Highlight’ in the final round....

The 23-year-old earned his maiden call-up to the Indian squad for the T20Is against Australia in January last year and the Indian team backed the all-rounder to come good in the world T20 at home. In the first ODI of the current India-England series, Pandya picked up two wickets at an economy of 5 with the ball, when the opposition mustered 350 runs. The Baroda all-rounder came into bat at a nervy time for India but his cool 37-ball 40 guided India towards a comfortable victory at the end....

But then, strangely enough, Roman Reigns sent out a very strange Tweet saying that he would be appearing on this week’s episode of RAW. An even stranger development came from WWE shortly after saying that he wouldn’t be appearing on the red brand. Everyone has been puzzling over why this strange angle is being carried out, and while I don’t have the answer, I can make a few guesses. In the pages that follow, I will try and shed light on why Reigns is being teased as a superstar who can appear on both WWE brands....

After an unexpected betrayal cost him the WWE Championship, a livid Beast Incarnate entered the Royal Rumble at number 30. He quickly ran through all the remaining participants to secure his place in the main event of WrestleMania 38. The following night on RAW, Lesnar announced that he would battle Roman Reigns at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Intending to face Reigns in a title vs. title match, Brock challenged Bobby Lashley to a WWE Championship rematch....

Styles bagged the opportunity to face Rollins after winning back to back matches on a recent episode of Monday Night Raw. On tonight’s edition, the two Superstars faced off against Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley in a tag team match. The final moments of the match saw Styles hitting the Phenomenal Forearm on Rollins in an unfortunate accident. Following this, AJ left the ring, abandoning Rollins and leaving him at the mercy of the dastardly villains....

Becky Lynch will defend her SmackDown Women’s Championship against Charlotte Flair and Asuka in a TLC match in three weeks. This could’ve easily been another chapter in the feud between Flair and Lynch, but the decision to add Asuka to the match could end up being an amazing way to end 2018. It goes without saying that Asuka lost a ton of momentum this year due to horrendous booking, but a decisive win at the TLC pay-per-view could set the Empress of Tomorrow back on track to being the Asuka everyone loved in NXT....

The Portuguese superstar was one of the top performers on the planet last season, breaking records upon records and running riot on his way to guiding Los Blancos to claim a record third consecutive UEFA Champions League triumph as well as scoring plenty of goals and reaching fantastic milestones in his illustrious career during the campaign. However, just as he missed out on both the UEFA and FIFA Player Of The Year awards recently, Cristiano Ronaldo could also fail to win the coveted Ballon d’Or award this term despite his incredible performances and achievements during the year....

With the threat of any invasion now eliminated, Creative was back to focusing purely on the Superstars that built up the most supreme roster in WWE. To make sure that the episode packs a punch, Creative booked their top three available male Superstars perfectly this week to deliver two great segments. The night started with a battle of words between Adam Cole, Tommaso Ciampa, and Finn Balor, and ended with only Finn Balor standing tall with Ciampa and Cole laid out around him....

These virtues are not found every day, and after four years ever since the retirement of Andrew Strauss, England may well have found a jewel. The young boy who has learned all his tricks in Lancashire is already drawing comparisons with Geoffrey Boycott and after his impressive performances in India, it is now clear that these comparisons were not misplaced.

However, time catches up with all icons eventually and although Dhoni’s performances could be classified as ‘efficient’, he is no longer the player he used to be. Here are 5 reasons why it might just be the right time for him to step aside from the T20 squad. #1 No longer a power-hitting batsman At the peak of his powers, MS Dhoni was one of the most feared batsmen in T20 cricket....

However fast forward 6 months and Real Madrid find themselves in a rut. They are 16 points off the top in La Liga table sitting at the fourth position, have lost to Tottenham in UCL, finishing second in UCL group. Everything which could have possibly gone wrong has gone wrong for the European and World Champions. So, what all has led to this massive collapse at the club. We take a look at the top five factors which have contributed to Madrid’s poor showing this season....

Cristiano Ronaldo has spent last 9 years at Real Madrid winning 15 trophies with the Los Blancos including 4 UEFA champions league titles. He has won 4 ballon dors while at Madrid and has his name inscribed in the history books. But it seems time to leave has come for the Portuguese with Juventus looking like his next possible destination. With the move seeming beneficial for everyone we look at how this could be a great decision for Cristiano Ronaldo....

“Mai khelega” These two words from a shaken 16-year old in 1989, having just copped a rip-snorter flush on his nose, embodied the spirit of a journey that, in the next 24 years, would become synonymous with an entire country’s love for cricket. Amidst all of life’s crests and troughs, unparalleled success and gut-wrenching failure, Sachin Tendulkar soldiered on to do what he was born to do: bat. With the release of Sachin: A Billion Dreams, 28 years after he first strapped his pads for India, the world has got to witness his journey on the big screen from first to last, reliving his life’s unmatchable memories, all with him by their side....

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news. But that wasn’t the case tonight. The Beast Incarnate was left helpless in the ring by Seth Rollins and it was a shocker! The King Slayer used the low blow twice on the WWE Universal Champion and also used the stomp. As he went backstage, Charly Caruso pointed out that if he used the low-blows Brock on Sunday, he could get disqualified....
