• CM Punk Pins Dominik Mysterio In Rhea Ripley Style, Rhea Lifts Punk (Video)

WWE held a “Supershow” live event at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia, today. The company had advertised top names for the event, including World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Rhea Ripley, IYO SKY, Jey Uso, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed and AJ Styles.

However, Seth Rollins, who was scheduled to headline the show against CM Punk, missed the event. He was replaced by Intercontinental and AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio in the main event.

Dirty Dom retained his Intercontinental Title against Punk after Roxanne Perez hit The Best In The World with a low blow, which caused the DQ. Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY then came out to save Punk from The Judgment Day.

You can watch a few videos from the event below:

As noted before, Seth Rollins suffered a shoulder injury at Crown Jewel and is reportedly set to undergo surgery soon. The Visionary has also been pulled from WWE’s Japan Tour later this week, with Dominik Mysterio stepping in as his replacement.

His injury seems to be serious, so there’s a good possibility that he ends up vacating his World Heavyweight Championship. The rumored Seth Rollins vs. CM Punk match for the title at Saturday Night’s Main Event next month also looks like its in jeopardy now.

• General Manager Comments On Their WWE Release

Stevie Turner (who worked as the WWE EVOLVE General Manager and the co-Assistant General Manager of NXT) posted the following regarding her WWE release:

“I Wanted To Give It A Few Days To Process My Feelings And Deliver A Genuine Message; I’m Overwhelmed With Love And I Am So So Bloody Proud Of All I Did As Stevie Turner. From Working In NXT UK In My Home Of London, To Leaving It All And Flying Across The World & Achieving A Life Goal By Moving To NXT Orlando.

I Was 4D, A Streamer, Made History In The First Ever TNA/NXT Match And Became The Prime Minister Of Evolve. I Loved Every Second Of Everything I Did, And Despite Not Having The Simplest Journey, I’m Proud I Always Gave 100% To Everything Presented To Me. I Have No Regrets, No Loss Of Love – Just A Heart Full Of Gratitude And Wonder For The Future.

I’m Excited To Keep Working On Feature Film ‘Welcome To Paradise’ With Crucible Films And Show What I Can Offer The World Of Voice Acting/Acting. And Of Course, I’m Excited To Lace My Wrestling Boots Again.

My One Hope Is That In All I’ve Done, That I Would Have Made My Late Tag Partner Hana Kimura Proud, Because Without Her, I Would Have Never Had The Confidence To Push Further For My Dreams.

See You All Soon!”
