It’s decision time for Nikki Bella on E!’s “Total Divas.” On the one
hand, she’s just days away from becoming the longest-reigning Divas
Champion in WWE history, which would mean validation for her years of
hard work and reinvention in the ring. On the other hand, her neck is
starting to bug her. And while we all know where this will eventually
end up, Nikki must either grit her way through the pain and into the
history books, or go to a doctor and risk having her title vacated. She
chooses the latter, and, some shenanigans aside, holds off Charlotte to
pass AJ Lee’s mark for longest Divas Title reign in WWE history.

Chris Jericho def. The Miz
The Miz wasn’t interested in finding out how Chris Jericho would
respond to AJ Styles’ WWE Fastlane challenge, instead interrupting Y2J
to do what he does best: boast about his Hollywood star status. The
“A-lister” also attempted to get a cheap shot in on the nine-time
Intercontinental Champion ahead of their scheduled match, but the move
proved futile after eventually being forced to tap out to the Walls of
Jericho.
Following the competitive contest, The Ayatollah of Rock ’n’ Rolla
grabbed a microphone and called out The Phenomenal One only to tell him
he would not accept his challenge.
Clearly not satisfied with this answer, a determined Styles proceeded to attack his rival, sending him from the ring before asking him again if he was up for Styles vs. Jericho III. This time, Jericho accepted, warning his WWE Fastlane opponent that he will regret ever challenging him.
Sasha Banks def. Tamina
Amid a hard-hitting Divas showdown, Sasha Banks knocked Naomi from
the ring apron before locking in the Bank Statement on her other former
Team B.A.D. partner Tamina and making her tap-out.
After the match, The Boss’ former friends attacked her before Becky
Lynch ran down to make the save. When The Irish Lass Kicker went to help
her WWE Fastlane tag team partner up, however, Sasha pushed her away.
Following the heated encounter, Sasha and Becky seemed to find common
ground in a backstage exchange, but can these ultra-competitive Divas
remain in harmony this Sunday at WWE Fastlane when they battle Naomi & Tamina?
Divas Champion Charlotte def. Natalya
Divas Champion Charlotte managed to outlast Natalya
in a vigorous battle, forcing The Queen of Harts to tap out to her
Figure-Eight Leglock.
After the contest, the self-proclaimed “genetically superior Diva”
started a sarcastic Daniel Bryan “Yes!” chant, prompting Brie Bella to
rush the ring and ultimately send the Divas Champion scrambling.
While the champion and her Hall of Famer father, Ric Flair, left
irate, Brie held the butterfly-emblazoned title high above her head amid
a sea of “Yes!” chants. Will we witness a similar scene this Sunday at WWE Fastlane?

WWE 2K16 coming soon to Windows PCs
Don’t fret, PC gamers — your wait for WWE 2K16 is almost over.
On Wednesday, 2K – with a little help from former WWE World
Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins – announced details about its ongoing
development of WWE 2K16 for Windows PC. The world-renowned video game
publisher indicated that the PC version of WWE 2K16 will largely mirror
the console versions available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, including
its critically-acclaimed simulation gameplay experience, as well as the
largest WWE video game roster in history.
Unlike its console version counterparts, WWE 2K16 for Windows PC will
make all of its popular downloadable content offerings available
immediately and free of charge. That means PC grappling gamers will have
instant access to sought-after content, including popular DLC Packs
featuring new Superstars and moves, exclusive 2K Showcase modes and two
playable versions of WWE Hall of Famer Arnold Schwarzenegger which
reprise his iconic T-800 role from the feature films “The Terminator”
and “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.”
WWE 2K16 for Windows PC will be available for purchase via Steam for $49.99.
One of the first customers for 2K’s upcoming Windows PC release is
sure to be Seth Rollins, who is just as renowned throughout the WWE
Universe as an avid gamer as he is for his exploits with The Shield and
The Authority. He recently revealed his gaming proficiency through
recent appearances on the popular WWE on YouTube channel UpUpDownDown, a
surprising talent he has secretly honed over many years.
“I’ve been playing video games my whole life,” Rollins said. “And I’m
actually getting more and more into it with some of the games that have
been coming out recently. Maybe I’ve been hanging around Woods and the
New Day guys too much. I think most people from my generation grew up
with video games and can remember the first time they picked up a
controller. After all these years, it’s crazy to see how far they’ve
come.”
Like many WWE fans, the free DLC offerings of WWE 2K16 for Windows PC
should help satiate Rollins’ appetite for competition in the virtual
world of sports-entertainment. He especially appreciates how 2K’s latest
WWE video game helps bring past wrestling heroes into the current
competitive landscape.
“I’m a bit of a WWE historian myself, and one of the things I’m most
excited about is being able to play as the past, present and future – no
pun intended – of WWE,” Rollins said. “Every year, the DLC in the WWE
2K games gives people some of that, whether it’s great legends and
rivalries of the past, or the latest additions to the NXT roster.”
Combining the largest WWE video roster in history with expansive DLC
offerings means WWE fans can conjure up all sorts of dream matches when
they create their dream WWE 2K16 match cards. In describing the many
virtual opponents he’d like to share the ring with, Rollins identified
one NXT Superstar in particular who would make a worthy foe in 2K’s
virtual WWE ring.
“Samoa Joe is a guy I have a lot of history with,” Rollins said. “And
he’s now in NXT and part of the included DLC content. Now, you can
recreate all those great matches we had in WWE 2K16.”
Six Superstars usher in life in the Fastlane
Folks, start your engines. With WWE Fastlane ready to blaze its path of
glory, tonight’s SmackDown is scheduled to kick off in absolute
overdrive. That’s because Dolph Ziggler & The Lucha Dragons will
look to invade The League of Nations!
On Raw, Sheamus, Rusev and Alberto Del Rio brought the full weight of their international power to bear, when they overcame The United States Champion Kalisto, Sin Cara and Neville. Will the addition of The Showoff be enough to ever the odds? Find out tonight on USA.
