Rhea Ripley tears Charlotte Flair down for using Banned Word


Despite all the crazy things that Vince McMahon has done, including having a match against God, he is a businessman at heart. He wants to promote his product in the best way possible; to make it appear like a magical show of shows. That is why he bans his on-screen employees from using certain words. Most notable of the banned words is "belt," in reference to a championship title. McMahon sees "belt" as too civilian, and wants his championships to be something more than just a way for a wrestler to hold their pants up.

However, that doesn't mean that all of Vince's wrestlers follow the rules. Current NXT Women's Champion Charlotte Flair took to Twitter to celebrate retaining the title against Io Shirai on the May 6 edition of NXT. Speaking directly to the NXT Women's Division, Flair said that "you will get this belt back when I decide I am done here..." Rhea Ripley, the woman whom Charlotte beat at WrestleMania 36 to win the title, responded to the tweet, letting her rival know the correct word to use. The exchange can be seen below.

AJ Styles traded to SmackDown for ?????

AJ Styles is once again on the blue brand! Michael Cole made the announcement during Styles' Intercontinental Championship Tournament match against Shinsuke Nakamura on last week's episode of SmackDown , saying that AJ is back on SmackDown full-time, being traded for a future Raw pick. This was done for kayfabe reasons. Being a Raw superstar, it wouldn't make much sense to have AJ win the IC Title Tournament, because of course it is a SmackDown championship. Do you think this means that Styles will win the tournament, and who do you think is getting traded to Raw? Let me know in the comments below! Credit for photo to World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.
