As seen at WWE SummerSlam, Charlotte picked up a surprising win over Sasha Banks to become the new WWE Women’s Champion. Banks was heavily favored to retain the title, which she won just a month ago.

Interestingly, Banks has been removed from all upcoming WWE Raw live events until the September 23rd event in Moline, IL. September 23rd is 33 days from today, and as of now it is unknown why Banks has been pulled from advertisements.

For what it’s worth, Banks was helped to the back after her WWE SummerSlam title match tonight, but there has been no word on her health status following the bout.

I presume garbage-tier-worker Charlotte winning the belt only happened so she can lose it to Bayley in 10 seconds on Raw tonight and then Charlotte gets released from the company due to everyone's complete apathy at her very existence?

No, tonight her feud with Dana starts because she realized she didn't need her to win leading up to their non title grudge match at survivor series while nia squashes bitches and the other ladies have a match now and then. Then bayley gets called up and snipes the title.

Apparently Finn dislocated his shoulder :smith:

Finn Balor defeated Seth Rollins at WWE’s SummerSlam pay-per-view last night, but as it turns out, the match didn’t go over quite as smoothly as it appeared on television.

According to WWE.com, Finn Balor was injured during his match against Seth Rollins. The company confirmed on its website that Balor sustained an injury when Rollins threw him into the barricade, and this movie caused Balor’s shoulder to become dislocated.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Balor’s arm was reportedly in a sling after the pay-per-view ended, and there has been concern that he might need surgery.

The WWE also notes that Balor is scheduled to receive a surgical consult that will determine how serious the injury is. Ringside physician Dr. Chris Robinson told WWE.com that Balor is facing a “a possible labrum tear.” For what it’s worth, the WWE superstar appeared on Good Morning America on Monday morning and was not sporting a sling of any sort.

If the injury is serious, though, this is a massive development that would dramatically alter the WWE’s plans for September. At SummerSlam, Balor won the WWE Universal Championship, which is Monday Night Raw‘s top title and equivalent to SmackDown‘s World Championship. Balor was to headline every Raw show for the next few weeks, and the company has devoted quite a bit of time to building The Demon King up as the top guy since he was drafted to Raw. Writing him out of the storyline would be quite difficult at this point.

WWE.com’s official preview implies that Balor will be present for tonight’s Raw, but this was written before the superstar would have received his medical evaluation.

This is not the first time a WWE performer has been injured during a match with Seth Rollins. In July 2015, Rollins accidentally broke John Cena’s nose, giving Cena an injury that took him out of commission for a few weeks.

“I felt so bad,” Rollins said of the mistake. “It was just a knee, we were trading shots and I threw a high knee just for some separation so we could get to whatever the next thing we were doing was and for whatever reason…look, John’ll be the first guy to admit he’s a clumsy fella. He’s not a graceful individual.”

Retired wrestler Bret Hart has in the past called out Seth Rollins for what he described as “reckless” behavior in the ring.

“You can’t hurt somebody like that under any circumstances,” Hart said. “It’s totally reckless. It can’t happen.”

That happened near the beginning of the match didn't it? gently caress that must have sucked.
