However, Pat McAfee came to Cole's rescue, only to be choked out by the former World Heavyweight Champion.

The wrestler's involvement in the scene has even seen her come out to the ring with light tubes or kendo sticks. Sera was known for having had some of the hardest-hitting matches in the deathmatch scene. Now, though, she's hanging up her boots. At an event in Prominence today, Risa announced that she will retire after her last match on January 12 next year. She followed it up with a tweet to ensure there was no confusion. |
FROM THE RUMOR MILL
Becky Lynch and Rusev appeared on WWE RAW this week. Lynch had returned at WrestleMania, but Rusev's arrival was on the red brand after years. Now that both stars are well and truly back, the company is already making major changes to them.
As per PWInsider, their internal status has now been listed as being on RAW, a change from before. In addition, both Rusev and Lynch have been listed as heels internally. The Bulgarian Brute returned and demolished Alpha Academy, taking apart Otis and Tozawa before a miserable Maxxine Dupri.
