Received a few questions asking about CFO$ and WWE Music. The relationship
is in fact over, and it has been for a few months now. CFO$ is no longer working with WWE in anyway.

However, once the news of NXT moving to the USA Network was
announced, Arcade Songs, which is an independent music publishing and music production company, sent out a tweet saying that the CFO$ will be cranking
out some new tunes:

Something tells me we’re going to be hearing a lot more @CFOSofficial ? https://t.co/23MWj7O9gD

It should also be noted that the official Twitter Account of the CFO$ says
that they are still WWE Music creators.

Check out what these guys have come up with in the past:

Editors Opinion:

I really hope that these guys are still with the company. They have created some of my most favorite themes in the last 10 years, including Bobby
Roode, Finn Balor, Sasha Banks and others. They are incredibly talented at
what they do and WWE is better off because of them!

NXT Live Coverage And Results - August 21, 2019

Posted: 21 Aug 2019 04:52 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/tommyhall/nxt-live-coverage-results-august-21-2019/


NXT

Date: August 21, 2019

Location: Full Sail University, Winter Park, Florida

Commentators: Mauro Ranallo, Nigel McGuinness, Beth Phoenix

So in a bit of a surprise, this is the start of the last of the one hour
taping cycles. It’s also the start of the fallout from Takeover: Toronto
and that means things could be in for a shakeup as we move towards
Takeover: WarGames III, which is likely to feature Undisputed Era again. That’s not a bad thing as they’re becoming the Horsemen of NXT, but now they need opponents. Let’s get to it.

We open with a look at Matt Riddle and Killian Dain brawling at Takeover.

Here’s the Undisputed Era, with new shirts, to get things going. Adam Cole says he did everything he promised to do in Toronto and the fans certainly
seem to like him. If there was an NXT Mount Rushmore, it would be his face
four times over. Roderick Strong says they all deserves to hold the gold.

The other three got screwed though, with Velveteen Dream pinning Pete
Dunne, meaning the North American Title reign is on borrowed time. Kyle O’Reilly shows us a clip of Bobby Fish tagging himself in at Takeover but O’Reilly was pinned. They demand that William Regal come out here and make this right. Cole says they are two steps away from making NXT truly
Undisputed to wrap this up.

As the team leaves, here’s Jordan Myles with his Breakout Tournament contract. Cole: “You’re joking right?” Cole threatens to break the smile off of Jordan’s face so Myles should go after Shayna Baszler instead. Or maybe go to NXT UK or 205 Live because they’re not on Cole’s level. Myles hands the contract to Cole but drops it at his feet, which means the
challenge is on.

Bronson Reed wants more in NXT but Shane Thorne interrupts him and the
match is made for tonight.
Mansoor vs. Damian Priest

Priest isn’t wasting time this week as he pulls Mansoor off the top for a crash into the buckle before knocking him back into the corner. Mansoor’s forearm has no effect as Priest drops him with a single shot. The chokeslam
is escaped and Mansoor gets in an enziguri, followed by a low bridge to the floor. There’s the running flip dive and a slingshot neckbreaker drops
Priest back inside. Priest has had it though and it’s a Razor’s Edge toss into the Reckoning for the pin at 3:14.

Result: Damian Priest b. Mansoor Reckoning (3:14)

NXT to USA announcement.
Mia Yim vs. Vanessa Borne

Borne start fast with a Samoan drop and stomps away in the corner as we
hear about Borne’s love of art. With Yim hanging over the ropes, Borne puts
a sticker saying LOWER no the back of her jeans. That fires Yim up so she
chops away in the corner, followed by a Cannonball. Protect Yo Neck
finishes Borne at 2:50.

Result: Mia Yim b. Vanessa Borne Protect Yo Neck (2:50)

Post match here’s Shayna Baszler to say Mia took her to places no one has taken her to before. Mia has been to some dark places and now she can stand beside Shayna. Cue the other Horsewomen, with Shayna saying it’s a cold business but nice and warm under the dragon’s wing. Mia would rather fight and the beatdown is on.

Next week: Keith Lee vs. Dominick Dijakovic.

Video on Lee vs. Dijakovic, which was a heck of a big man fight. They had a history on the indies as well and since NXT does this kind of thing, we get
to hear about it.

Shane Thorne vs. Bronson Reed

Thorne’s rage against the Breakout Tournament continues. Some early kicks annoy Reed but Thorne bails out to the floor. Back in and the much bigger
Reed sits on Thorne’s back to keep him in trouble. Thorne tries a leapfrog and gets powerslammed down, setting up a facewash in the corner.

A shot to the knee slows Reed down though and Thorne hammers away in the
corner and there’s the running Cannonball (Good grief can we get a
moratorium on that already? It feels like everyone uses it anymore.). Reed comes back with a Samoan drop into a backsplash (same as the Cannonball) so Thorne rolls outside. Back in and Reed goes up top but gets knocked back
down, setting up the running knee to give Shane the pin at 5:15.

Rating: C-. Reed moves well for a big man and I like where he’s going.
Thorne on the other hand felt like someone who was there because he had
been around forever and they needed to do something with him. I’m not sure what it is but there’s something to him that makes me want to see more, so he’s fine for now.

Here’s Velveteen Dream on the couch. His shirt is $30, his glasses are $10 and retaining the North American Title by pinning Pete Dunne is priceless.
The Dream winds up on top of anyone in the locker room because he likes it
best on top. That’s where the spotlight is so the spotlight is now on Roderick Strong. If Strong wants a title shot, give Dream an experience
he’s never had before.

Myles challenges Cole in two weeks.

Next week: the Street Profits Defend against Fish and O’Reilly.
Matt Riddle vs. Killian Dain

Riddle comes in through the crowd and jumps Dain before revealing taped up ribs. The forearms and strikes knock Dain into the corner and a kick to the head puts him on the floor. The forearm off the steps puts Dain down again
but Dain elbows him in the head. Dain’s running crossbody crushes the ribs again.

We hit the seated abdominal stretch to stay on the ribs and then Dain just stands on them for a bonus. Dain sits on the ribs but Riddle somehow
manages a release fisherman’s suplex. Riddle strikes away and gets in an exploder into the Broton. The seated elbows to the face have Dain in more trouble, setting up a German suplex for the double knockdown. Dain is back
up with a shotgun dropkick into the corner, setting up the Cannonball.

Riddle pops up with a Bro To Sleep and a powerbomb into a running knee for
two. The spinning Broton hits knees though and Dain sends him shoulder
first into the post. Riddle gets dropped onto the steps and a backsplash crushes him again. A Vader Bomb off the apron sets up three regular Vader
Bombs inside to finish Riddle at 11:20.

Result: Killian Dain b. Matt Riddle Vader Bomb (11:20)

Riddle charges after Dain to end the show.

Results

Damian Priest b. Mansoor – Reckoning

Mia Yim b. Vanessa Borne – Protect Yo Neck

Shane Thorne b. Bronson Reed – Running knee

Killian Dain b. Matt Riddle – Vader Bomb

XFL Reveals Team Names And Logos For The 2020 Season

Posted: 21 Aug 2019 04:48 PM PDT https://wrestlingrumors.net/derekstoughton/xfl-reveals-team-names-logos-2020-season/


Ever since the announcement of the return of the XFL, there has been a lot
of questions that have been asked by the fans. One of the most important
ones, however, was answered today.

The XFL announced the names and logos of the 8 teams that will be
participating in the league, when play begins in February 2020. The names
are as follows:

Dallas Renegades
Houston Roughnecks
Los Angeles Wildcats
New York Guardians
St. Louis BattleHawks
Seattle Dragons
Tampa Bay Vipers
Washington Defenders


You can see the full announcement below:

According to a report from ESPN, the next step will be finalizing and publicizing a rulebook that the league says will offer a reimagined game of football, including unique extra points, a modified setup for overtime and
a shorter play clock to accelerate game tempo.

Editors Opinion:

I really think that the XFL might work. With all of the off-field issues
with current NFL players, along with a desire from the American people for football past the Super Bowl, everything could be in place to make this
really successful.

What do you think will be the future of the XFL? Leave us a comment below,
