[galaxygeeksunite]

Well you know speaking of roses and thorns, I am being stabbed a bit in the side cause of this feud that’s about to go down! Although I will miss them as tag partners but I kinda am rooting for Gigi tbh.

I can take them making the Crosby/Landra thing explicit (even when keeping it vague would have been very doable and truer to his own memoir) but him pushing her about what she actually was doing was annoying. The call we'll see next week is fine, but whining about it in a pub instead of just being like "haha pretty sure my badass former-roomate is a spy, crazy times we live in, ammirite?" rubbed me the wrong way.

LET’S FUCKIN GOOOOOOOO

Bron Breakker rumored to be on tonight’s Friday Night Smackdown to (hopefully) seal one of his contract deals on the main roster. BUT ALSO POSSIBLY TO CONFRONT THE TRIBAL CHEIF?!!!

Monday Night Raw (7/3):

Ronda Rousey came out to the ring, but was interrupted by her former best friend and tag team partner Shayna Baszler, telling Ronda that no one wanted to hear her talk. Ronda said that Shayna owed her an explanation for betraying her on Saturday at Money in the Bank. Shayna fired back, reminding Ronda that she wouldn't even be in WWE if it weren't for Shayna, and that unlike Rousey, Baszler paid her dues and worked her way up through the independent wrestling scene. She then went on to say that the only thing she owed was an apology for bringing Ronda into WWE. Ronda tried to choke Shayna out, but Shayna countered into an ankle lock, before hitting Ronda with a knee strike and walking away.

Sonya Seville & Chelsea Green won tag team turmoil to become the number one contenders to the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships. The match started with Sonya Neville & Chelsea Green taking on Indi Hartwell & Candice LeRae. After eliminating Indi & Candice, they also eliminated Emma & Nikki Cross, before also facing and eliminating Dana Brooke & Tegan Nox. The final team to enter was Katana Chance & Katana Chance, who Sonya & Chelsea also eliminated to become number one contenders. match length-11:55.

Becky Lynch came out to the ring. She said that she can move on from not winning Money in the Bank, but that she can't move on from Trish Stratus. She called out Trish, telling her to come out to the ring so they could end things. Trish Stratus and Zoey Stark came out, and Trish said that she wasn't medically cleared to compete. Becky said that she would fight Zoey instead, saying that Zoey was better than Trish anyways, and a match between Becky and Zoey was set for next week on Raw.

Rhea Ripley defeated Natalya to retain the Women’s World Championship. The match opened with Natalya attacking Rhea from behind as the champion was making her way to the ring. The match was back and forth as both women were able to get in various degrees of offense. Natalya nearly made Rhea tap with the Sharpshooter, but Rhea got to the bottom rope. Rhea hit Natalya with the Riptide to successfully retain the title. match length-12:45.

After the match, Rhea continued to beat Natalya down, but the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez came to her aid. Rhea got out of the ring, and Raquel stared down the champion.

Backstage, Ms. Money in the Bank Iyo Sky came face to face with Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley. Iyo said she would see Rhea around, and the champion responded that cashing in on her would be the biggest mistake of Iyo's life. Rhea then complained to Damian Priest and Dominik Mysterio about Liv and Raquel coming to the aid of Natalya, saying that she would make them regret getting involved in her business.

NXT (7/4):

The three brawled, before Ms. Money in the Bank Iyo Sky attacked Asuka with the briefcase. Bayley hit a Rose Plant on Asuka onto the briefcase, before Iyo hit the champion with a moonsault.

The match is being moved to the Friday, July 14, edition of AEW Rampage, in an effort to give Willow a chance to get medically cleared.

Julia Hart defeated Bambi Hall. match length-2:20.

Other news & updates from last week:

According to a report from Fightful Select on Monday afternoon, the rumor that had circulated leading up to Money in the Bank about Charlotte Flair replacing Zelina Vega in the Women's Money in the Bank ladder match was false. Charlotte's current program with WWE Women's Champion Asuka and Bianca Belair has been planned since before she returned a few weeks ago.

In an Instagram caption on Monday, Ronda Rousey noted that the length of the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match at Money in the Bank had gotten cut 3 times. The match ended up being 9 minutes long. This isn't the first time that Ronda has been vocal in her criticism about the amount of time given to women's matches, as she expressed similar frustration after her match with Liv Morgan at SummerSlam 2022 was only given about 4 and a half minutes.

In significantly more exciting news regarding the women's division in WWE, the July 3 edition of Monday Night Raw, nearly every member of the Raw women's division was featured on-screen in some capacity. 21 of the 23 women on the roster were featured, plus an appearance by SmackDown superstar Iyo Sky. The only 2 women who weren't on the July 3 edition of Raw were Piper Niven and Xia Li.

On Wednesday, July 5 at day 2 of NJPW Independence Day, Willow Nightingale lost the NJPW Strong Women's Championship to Giulia. For those who aren't familiar with Giulia, she is one-third of the current Artist of Stardom champions in the Japanese all-women's promotion Stardom.

According to WWE, the June 30 edition of SmackDown and WWE Money in the Bank (both of which took place at the O2 Arena in London, England) generated a combined gate of more than $5.4 million. Additionally, the June 30 episode of SmackDown was the highest-grossing SmackDown of all-time, and WWE Money in the Bank was the highest-grossing arena event of all-time.

WWE also announced that this year's Money in the Bank marked the highest-grossing arena event for venue merchandise in WWE history, and sponsorship revenue was up 9 percent versus the record set in 2022.

Viewership for this year's event jumped 17 percent from last year's record, as well as surpassing the viewership of the last U.K. premium live event (Clash at the Castle) by 30 percent.

On Friday, WWE announced that this year’s Survivor Series event will take place on Saturday, November 25, 2023. The announcement included no mention of the WarGames theme from the 2022 event. Both the Survivor Series event itself, as well as Friday Night SmackDown the night before will take place at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois. This is the same building where several other WWE events have been held, including NXT TakeOver: WarGames in 2019, Survivor Series 2019, and most recently hosted Hell in a Cell 2022.

Dave Meltzer's ratings for WWE Money in the Bank 2023 have been announced. The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match between Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler and Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez received 2.75 stars, while the women's Money in the Bank ladder match was given a rating of 4 stars. Additionally, the Women's World Championship match between Rhea Ripley and Natalya on the July 3 edition of Monday Night Raw received a rating of 3.75 stars.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Vince McMahon was backstage at Friday Night SmackDown on July 7 at Madison Square Garden. It is worth noting that MSG isn't far from WWE HQ in Connecticut, and Vince has been known to be backstage at shows close to where WWE corporate offices are.

Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported on Sunday, July 9 that the upcoming July 21, 2023 edition of Friday Night SmackDown will be airing on FS1 instead of Fox, due to Fox coverage of the FIFA Women's World Cup. This week's show on July 14 is still set to air on Fox as usual.

Liv morgan x female reader

(I knoe I said I was gonna write a hook fic, I'm sorry but I'll try to writw one later.)

Liv was so smitten. Like REALLY smitten.

That's what Dakota said though. She knew Dakota was right, she was smitten.

The girl Liv was so smitten with? None other than Y/N Reigns. Yes, the famous sister of Roman Reigns. Former NXT women's champion who just got called up to smackdown. Liv had been friends with Y/N before Y/N's callup to the main roster and both still continue to thrive in their friendship. Although, Liv wishes they were more...

Currently, Liv and Dakota were having a conversation about the match card for smackdown. While Dakota was discussing her match, Liv noticed something in the corner of her eye. She turned around to see Y/N talking to Isla dawn. Liv couldn't help but feel jealous, but she also noticed that Y/N didn't look good. 

"I swear- if you don't confess to her," Dakota says. "I will, I will! I promise." Liv states. "But do you notice anything odd?" Liv continues concerned.

"Other than you being jealous, Y/N doesn't look to good right now." Dakota expresses. Y/N was always grumpy. She never really smiled and she was usually quiet. Liv was quite the opposite. She was always optimistic, always smiling, she was literally a ray of sunshine. You know what they say, opposite attract. 

"After they're done with their conversation, I'm going to check up on Y/N." Liv tells Dakota. Dakota nods before asking Liv, "Doesn't she have a N1C match for the smackdown women's championship? Which, you are the smackdown women's champion." Dakota says. 

Liv looks back at Y/N for a second before looking back at Dakota. "I hope she wins." Liv says quietly. Dakota smirks before telling Liv, "Isla is done talking to your girl." Liv looks back to see Y/N rubbing her face. 

"Bye." Liv says to Dakota before speed walking towards Y/N. "Go get your girl!" Dakota says. 

"Hey." Y/N says groggy, continuing to rub her face. Liv smiles. Anything this woman can do will make Liv smile.

"Hey, you good?" Liv asks concerned. Y/N nods her head. Liv knows she's lying, but she doesn't wanna piss her off. "I see you didn't straighten your hair today." Liv comments. 

"Yea, I just didn't feel like straightening my hair today." Y/N motions to her hair. Liv smiles again before telling Y/N, "You know, I like when you don't straighten your hair. Good luck on your match." Liv walks away before stopping and turning back around.

"Hey, do you wanna go get some coffee tomorrow?" Liv asks, clasping her hands together. Y/N looks down at the ground before looking back up at Liv. "Yeah, why not? I don't have anything planned." Y/N answers. Liv can almost see a grin appear on her face.

After the show, Liv and Dakota are walking towards their rental car, talking and having fun. Soon they enter the car, and Dakota starts driving towards the nearest hotel. Liv nervously bites her finger nails while thinking about something.

"Spill." Dakota tells Liv. Liv sighs before telling Dakota. "I asked Y/N if she wanted to get some coffee. Spoiler, she said yes, and now I am scared."

Dakota's eyes widen before saying, "That's not what I expected... But okay." Liv bites her lip. What was she going to do? Literally standing next to Y/N, made her nervous. But god, everything about Y/N made Liv want to crumble to the floor and worship the ground she walked on.

Dakota and Liv arrive at the hotel and get their room keys. While they're about to enter the room, Liv sees Y/N slouched down in the hallway.

Liv, immediately runs towards Y/N. "Y/N are you okay?" Liv asks concerned. Dakota shortly arrived after.  Y/N just shakes her head before rubbing her face.

Liv can see the tears forming in her eyes. She has never seen Y/N cry. "You can stay in Liv's room." Dakota suggests. "Can I?" Y/N asks, turning towards Liv. "Of course!" Liv answers quickly.

Y/N struggles to stand up on her own. Liv notices this and carries her, bridal style. Dakota notices a blush appear on both Y/N and Liv. "Alright, don't have to much fun lovebirds." Dakota says before walking away towards her room.

Liv says bye to Dakota and enters the room with Y/N in her arms.

Y/N slowly wakes up to see Liv making 2 cups of coffee. Y/N emerges from the bed and walks towards the kitchen.

"Good morning! I made us some coffee." Liv tells Y/N in such a cheerful tone. Y/N never really liked cheerful people, they just showed to much optimism and it wasn't really Y/N's thing. But with Liv, it was different.

Y/N loved how cheerful she was. She loved how Liv would always smile and show so much optimism. She just loved Liv.

"Thank you."  Y/N says quietly before drinking some of the coffee.

Liv looks done at the floor before putting her coffee. "I do have tell you something though." Liv says quietly.

Y/N puts her coffee down and chuckles. "What are you going to tell me? That your in love with me." Y/N says sarcastically. Liv is shocked. She know Y/N meant it as sarcasm but she was actually right. "About that.." Liv says, trying to be calm.

"Wait- what?" Y/N asks, turning around. "I was joking!." Y/N exclaims. "I know I'm sorry! I know you don't like me back, but-" Liv explains. Yea I don't like you. "Why would I like you? Cause I don't like you. I love you, and not in a friendly way." Y/N explains in a straight but smiling a little at the end.

Liv's jaw drops. She was so confused.  She was happy, but she didn't think Y/N would like her back. Well, love her, in Y/N's words. "How are you just so, chill about this?" Liv asks shaking her head. Y/N was always calm, but this? How?

Y/N shrugs her shoulders. "Please this," She motions to her body. "Is all acting. Really, I have been waiting for this moment since I've met you." Y/N explains, walking up towards Liv. "And I'm  also waiting for a kiss." Y/N says, parting her lips.

"Oh really?" Liv asks, laughing a bit. "Really." Y/N says before bringing Liv in for a kiss.

Almost immediately, Liv kisses back. After a few minutes, Liv pulls away smiling. Y/N sneaks in a tiny smile.

"You know," Liv starts, bringing Y/N more closer to her. "I hope your the one who takes my championship." Liv finishes, bringing Y/N in for one final kiss. 

"Extreme rules is almost here and, I got a match with Shayna on smackdown, with you on commentary." Y/N says, finally showing her full smile.

[whumper-at-heart]

ABC gotta hurt bobby a bit. I mean hurt him seriously to land him in the hospital for a couple days , make everyone worry like it had happened with buck or Eddie.

So after watching s7e2 , here's my whumpy take on what should happen nxt.

SPOILERS:

In the nxt ep , we will probably see the coast guard and 118 go to rescue people from the cruise ship. When they reach there , the boat is almost drowned and bobby and Athena refuse to be evacuated until the civilians are safe. So after Julian , Reyna ,normal and Lola are safe , 118 comes back for them and bobby tells them to take Athena first and then come back for him. However before they can come back , the boat shifts or a wave comes and bobby gets trapped underwater. When they manage to get to him finaly, he's not breathing. They manage to pull him out on a raft and then buck is the one doing cpr on bobby , begging him to breathe. Bobby survives , but he gets put in a coma , and no one knows if he's going to be okay. Bobby was underwater for a period of time and lack of oxygen can cause hypoxia which causes brain damage . So the 118 waits for their 'father' to wake up , and this time it is buck not leaving bobbys bedside , because we have enough of Bobby worrying for buck , we need buck worrying for bobby. This also gives the chance for some bathena angst because while all the other couples had their time of worrying over each other in a hospital, it's certainly due for them.

I am so sick of them implying bobby has serious injuries and then playing it off in a casual manner. I mean , wtf was that in the s6 finale ?!

ABC. , please hurt my fav character.
