4. The Vaudevillains To Make Their Raw Debut Tonight
Former NXT Tag Team Champions The Vaudevillains are set to make their Raw debut on tonight’s show. They will face former WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos in a semi-final match of the #1 Contender’s Tag Team Championship tournament.
The other semi-final match will be between Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady and The Dudley Boyz.
WWE is also teasing an appearance from Doc Gallows & Karl Anderson, who attacked The Usos last week. Below is what WWE posted:
“Thus far, the No. 1 Contenders’ Tag Team Tournament, sponsored by Booty-O’s, has given us incredible matchups and unbelievable upsets, leaving us with two anticipated Semifinals Matches: The Usos vs. The Vaudevillains, and Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady vs. The Dudley Boyz.
Which of these teams will move on to the final bout of this tournament and challenge The New Day for the WWE Tag Team Championship? Additionally, after globally-renowned competitors Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows attacked Jimmy & Jey Uso following one of last week’s tournament matches, will the dominant tandem make their presence known once again this week?”
3. Jim Ross Believes TNA Should Make Big Changes To Survive
During a recent blog entry on his website, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross noted that TNA Wrestling should make big changes to their brand in order to survive. Below is what he wrote:
“Apparently, things internally at TNA are challenging these days as they are moving out of their long time offices to consolidate into their warehouse while they are allegedly speaking with a potential buyer/investor for their company. TNA apparently needs an infusion of cash to help keep their company moving forward. Real wresting fans never want to see a wrestling company fail and the same holds true here. I’m pulling for Impact Wrestling and my many friends who work there.
If they do get an investor and initiate a restart of their brand I’d suggest that they change their name to give the ‘new brand’ a fresh start. Nonetheless, I’m hopeful that TNA Impact Wrestling can kick out of this apparent predicament.”
