WWE: Bobby Lashley Blasts Brock Lesnar For Overlooking Him

Sasha Banks' appearances on Kevin Hart's Cold as Balls interview series dropped this week in which she talked about how she is treated by the WWE as one of its biggest stars. The full interview was released to YouTube on Tuesday and fans have since combed through the comments following Banks' decision (along with her tag team partner Naomi) to walk out of this week's Monday Night Raw over creative frustrations with how the Women's Tag Team Championships were being used.

AEW revealed the identity of the Joker in the Men's Tournament Quarterfinal match of the Owen Hart Cup during Wednesday's AEW Dynamite. Johnny Elite, aka John Morrison, made his AEW debut when he walked down the aisle to face Samoa Joe, while Dr. Britt Baker is set to square off against the Joker in the Women's side of the Tournament later tonight. Speculation swirled around former WWE Superstars Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli) and Ember Moon (Athena) being the surprise entrants by AEW President Tony Khan. Two other matches in the Owen Hart Cup feature Adam Cole vs. Jeff Hardy, and Kyle O'Reilly vs. Rey Fenix.

After a few matches, General Manager Adam Pearce appeared on the screen and was soon joined by a familiar face if you have previously watched WWE NXT. That was none other than LA Knight, but Knight was sporting a new clean-cut look and a new character since we lost saw him on NXT 2.0, and that came with a new name as well. He introduced himself to Pearce as Max Dupri (emphasis on the i), CEO of Maximum Male Models. Pearce had no idea who he was and wasn't too receptive to him immediately, but then Dupri informed him of some key information.

During tonight's WWE SmackDown, Michael Cole revealed that Sasha Banks and Naomi, who were previously the Women's Tag Team Champions, are indefinitely suspended from WWE following their walkout this past Monday. Cole added that the Tag Titles, which they reportedly handed over before they left ahead of Monday Night Raw, would be part of an upcoming tournament, and for those who think this might all be a work, more and more evidence appears to the contrary, as WWE has taken down both of their official Facebook pages and removed their pages and all merchandise from the WWE Shop. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful also confirmed that despite those actions WWE has confirmed that neither star has been released by the company.

Roman Reigns and The Bloodline kicked off tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown, and he wanted the crowd to not just acknowledge him but also The Bloodline, and then gave things over to Paul Heyman, who added some major stakes to the Tag Team Titles Unification match later tonight. Heyman said welcome to the single biggest night in the history of Tag Team wrestling. "You see what we have here on the island of relevancy is the moment of truth. Roman Reigns is the G.O.A.T. You can take your Bruno Samartinos. Your Hulk Hogans. Your Stone Cold Steve Austins. Your Dwayne The Rock Johnsons. Your John Cenas. Your Brock Lesnars. They would all be stacked up and pinned by the Undisputed GOAT, the greatest of all time, Roman Reigns," Heyman said.

Both the men's and women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments kicked off for All Elite Wrestling last week, but this week's episode of Dynamite is the one that fans have had their eyes on. When the two tournament fields were set, each contained a mysterious wild cart wrestler known only as "Joker." Dr. Britt Baker and Somoa Joe were lined up against the blank cards, and fans were told that the Jokers wouldn't be revealed until the night of their first round fights. That night has finally arrived.

2K has already released two of its five DLC packs for WWE 2K22, and up next is the Stand Back Pack. That pack was slated to include the former WWE NXT Tag Team MSK, which consisted of Wes Lee and Nash Carter. Carter was released by WWE recently after allegations of domestic violence by his ex-wife, and it was unknown if 2K22 would continue to include Carter in the upcoming DLC. Now a 2K spokesperson has revealed to Sports Gamers Online that he has now been removed from the upcoming DLC pack, and the pack will include MyFaction items in his place.

Toni Storm is off to a hot start in All Elite Wrestling, scoring a victory over Jamie Hayter to advance to the next round of the Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. Before coming to AEW Storm requested her release from WWE, where she was feuding with the former SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair. During that brief feud, Storm ended up getting a pie in the face thanks to Flair but also returned the favor with a pie of her own the following week. In a new interview on AEW Unrestricted, Storm was asked about the pie-throwing segments and if they were the last straw, and it turns out she actually preferred how they turned out compared to the original pitch, which had her getting her shirt ripped off.
