As reported by The Observer, The Baddest Woman on the Planet Ronda Rousey is reported worked as a heel on WWE’s non televised event (also known as house shows) in Oakland. She is known to team up with her MMA cohort Shayna Baszler during house shows, teaming up with her again for the Oakland show in a match against Shotzi and Xia Li.
Rousey is scheduled to battle Liv Morgan in an Extreme Rules match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the namesake pay-per-view next month in October.
When will Edge return to WWE?
Last week on RAW, we saw WWE Hall of Famer Edge subjected to a heinous beatdown by Judgment Day after his match with Dominik Mysterio. This was seen as a way perhaps to write off Edge from the WWE Programming.
While many believed that the Rated-R Superstar won’t return until WrestleMania season, a report by Ringside News claim that Edge will be back sooner than expected and is scheduled to be a part of the upcoming WWE pay-per-view, Extreme Rules taking place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
Here is the reason why Logan Paul is in the Crown Jewel main event

WWE announced on Saturday’s special press conference that The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns will defend his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Internet sensation Logan Paul.
As noted by Dave Meltzer on Sunday Night’s Main Event, the reason for Logan Paul being as part of the main event is because the Saudi Arabian Prince is very high on the Paul and the Internet star is a big deal to the Prince himself. The officials believe that this match will get more mainstream publicity and interest as compared to any other Superstar facing The Tribal Chief like a Seth Rollins or Kevin Owens.
