Hasn't been an actual announcement yet...
I know this has been around forever but it still cracks me up.
It's too early for this
Went to a Smackdown house how last night in Pensacola, FL. It was fun and the arena was mostly full. Here's the results:
- American Alpha & Sin Cara d. Epico, Erick Rowan, and Aiden English after AA hit a top-rope bulldog on Aiden.
Aiden's singing intro got tons of heat.
- Rusev d. Zack Ryder w/ the Accolade. Decent back and forth action.
- SD tag title triple threat match: Usos d. New Day and Breezango after one of the Usos hit a top-rope splash on Fandango.
Fun comedy match with New Day and Tyler Breeze doing a lot of goofing off and the Usos playing straight heels in their hometown, despite being incredibly over. They kept teasing big moves, then wouldn't do them or would roll out of the ring or tag out.
- WWE title match: Jinder Mahal w/ the Singh Brothers d. AJ Styles w/ the Khallas
Both of these guys were really over, especially AJ here in Trump country.
Jinder won after AJ was distracted by one of the Singhs running into the ring. Kinda surprised Jinder went over AJ fairly clean. The Singhs ran back into the ring to beat up AJ, but he turned the tables and hit the Styles Clash on one of them.
Intermission
- 4-on-3 women's match: Becky Lynch, Naomi, and Charlotte Flair d. Natalya, Tamina, Lana, and Carmella after Naomi hit the Rear View on Lana
Decent match with the story being Lana isn't that good and needs lots of help. She looks just as good in person though.
Carmella getting a bubble on her. 
- Baron Corbin d. Sami Zayn w/ the End of Days
Boring match that seemed to drag on forever, but Sami was over.
- Main event: Shinsuke Nakamura d. Dolph Ziggler w/ the Kinshasa
Shinsuke was over, no one cared about Dolph. Okay match, but I don't think these guys have much chemistry together. Then again, I think Dolph is in a place where he's not really trying much anymore.
Overall, it was a fun show. Especially the first half, which seemed to have a lot more effort & energy from the wrestlers and the crowd.

WWE and Mattel launch girls' product line - Pro Wrestling Dot Net
Mattel and WWE are launching a girls’ product line that features the first-ever fashion dolls of Nikki and Brie Bella, Sasha Banks, Natalya, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Alicia Fox and Eva Marie, to leverage the popularity of WWE’s female Superstars and give its sizable girl fan base a new way to connect with their favorite brands.
The new WWE Superstars product line, which was revealed today at San Diego Comic-Con, offers fans an original way to play and includes the following:
12” fashion dolls that are articulated and come with multiple fashions inspired by Nikki and Brie Bella, Sasha Banks, Natalya, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Alicia Fox and Eva Marie.
Role Play items that include a WWE Women’s Championship title belt with authentic styling and sleek metallic medallions, in addition to fun accessories like a Bayley-inspired headband and Sasha Bank’s “Legit Boss” rings.
Action figures that have deluxe articulation and bold ring looks that include the Superstar’s iconic accessories.
This is the first time female WWE Superstars will have a fashion doll and role-playing line, in addition to the action figures inspired by their in-ring characters. The dolls will be available for preorder online only at Toysrus.com beginning Monday, July 24, and exclusively at Toys“R”Us® stores nationwide and Toysrus.com this September.
“The launch of the first-ever WWE girls’ product line is a significant moment in the evolution of not only our female Superstars, but our entire company,” said Stephanie McMahon, WWE Chief Brand Officer. “We are honored to partner with Mattel to provide kids with another way to connect with our incredible female performers who inspire confidence and strength.”
“At Mattel, we have a deep understanding of how girls play and are proud to be WWE’s partner in bringing the first ever female Superstar fashion doll line to fans, said Lori Pantel, SVP and GM for Girl’s Toy Box. “This line shows girls that they too can be a WWE Superstar and fits well within our portfolio of girl’s brands by offering unique doll aesthetics with empowering messages.”
Powell’s POV: This feels long overdue, though so was WWE’s move to pushing the women as serious wrestlers rather than being primarily featured for sex appeal purposes.
