The term "Four Horsewomen" in WWE evokes a sense of revolution and accomplishment. It refers to a quartet of wrestlers – Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, and Bayley – who rose to prominence together in NXT, WWE's developmental brand. Their impact transcended NXT, forever changing the landscape of women's wrestling in WWE. ## During their time in NXT, the Four Horsewomen honed their craft and delivered consistently stellar matches. They pushed each other to new heights, captivating audiences with their athleticism, storytelling, and undeniable charisma. Their success was instrumental in the "Divas Revolution," a movement that demanded better storylines and in-ring opportunities for female wrestlers. ## Ripley's defining moment came at the 2023 Royal Rumble. Entering as the number one entrant, she defied the odds and became the first woman ever to win the Rumble from that position. This victory propelled her towards a championship showdown with Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania. At the Grandest Stage of Them All, Ripley delivered a dominant performance, dethroning Flair and capturing the SmackDown Women's Championship. She now most recently defeated Becky Lynch to retain the Women's World Championship. ## In her post-match press conference at WrestleMania XL, Rhea Ripley addressed the future of the Four Horsewomen era following her victory over Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. ## "You know, the Four Horsemen Era, it will live on forever. They accomplished so much. They took the women's division to heights that we could have only dreamt of. They've done so much for the business and I have all the respect for every single one of them. I feel like the way that I've been going WrestleMania after WrestleMania finally knocking off the Horsewoman and the same as Bianca Belair. She's been doing the same. ## We've been proving that there is a shift coming and these new women they are taking over and we're showing out with trying to take it to higher heights that it has been taken to. Obviously, for those women, they're amazing at what they do, and we don't want them to leave but they're going to have to move over, because we're taking over at the same time." ## While the group hasn't officially been together for some time, their influence continues to be felt. As of April 2024, three of the Four Horsewomen – Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Bayley – are still with WWE. Sasha Banks, however, recently left the company. Their individual paths may have diverged, but their legacy as a collective force that revolutionized women's wrestling in WWE remains undeniable. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

AEW is set to air previously unseen footage related to the infamous altercation between CM Punk and "Hangman" Adam Page (real name Jack Perry) at AEW All In last August. The announcement came during this week's episode of Collision. ## The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) will present the backstage footage from All In and discuss it for the first time on Dynamite this coming Wednesday. This decision follows CM Punk's recent interview on The MMA Hour, where he spoke in detail about the incident. ## The altercation stemmed from a disagreement over the use of real glass in a segment. Punk reportedly advised Perry against it, but Perry went ahead and used it during his match, referencing it with the phrase "Real glass, cry me a river." This ultimately led to a physical confrontation. ## Multiple sources, including Fightful Select, Dave Meltzer, and Bryan Alvarez, have confirmed that the footage will indeed air on Dynamite. This comes despite initial speculation that the announcement might be a bait-and-switch tactic. ## According to Alvarez, AEW President Tony Khan was "very upset" about Punk's interview and has apparently wanted to air the footage for some time. This decision to air it now is likely fueled by the timing and content of Punk's recent comments. ## While various perspectives on the incident have circulated, the airing of this previously unseen footage promises to shed new light on the situation. Tune in to AEW Dynamite this Wednesday to see how this story unfolds. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

WrestleMania 40 witnessed a legendary comeback as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stepped back into the squared circle for a tag team match alongside his cousin, Roman Reigns. ## This marked The Rock's first proper match since defeating Erick Rowan at WrestleMania 32 a staggering eight years ago. The electrifying atmosphere crackled as The Rock and Reigns battled Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 40's first night. ## The match wasn't without its tense moments. Reigns accidentally speared his own teammate, but the duo persevered to secure victory. This win ensured that Reigns' upcoming WWE Undisputed Universal Championship match against Rhodes on WrestleMania Sunday will be contested under the brutal "Bloodline Rules" (no holds barred). ## Speaking to WrestleMania XL Saturday Press Conference, Triple H elaborated on The Rock's performance. ## "He loves this, and he's gonna throw caution to the wind, he's gonna do it, right? And it's gonna be amazing, but he's gonna go all out in that. When you've done this a long time and you're around it every day like that, you see composure in people. That, I can spot it in people now, it's my job to spot it in people now, right, to some degree. So, I can spot it and tell you who's comfortable, who's not, who's running through a bunch of stuff and doesn't feel it, who's just doing things. The most impressive thing to me was his composure and his being in the moment and his feel. ## So, I can see him feeling everything that was happening, I can see it resonating in him, and I can see his composure. When you haven't done this for a while and adrenaline hits you and you're in front of all those people, and, man, you're zoned in fast, and you move fast with it, and you think you're not, but you are. And it's the thing that you see stars that have been doing this a long time that have really gotten to that next level, that there's a calm. ## He was calm. And to be gone that long and be that calm and that composed and that in control and feel and let it happen and feel it and digest it, and then let it come out of you, there's not very many people that can do that. Cuz that's the part that escapes you. You still do all the same stuff maybe, you still know where to put it all, you still know the reactions that it might get, but that composure is what makes the magic. And he still has that magic, he still feels every single bit of it. Again, though, it's why he gets the goosebumps, right? That's a part of it. So if I was to say anything, it's that composure, having been gone that long, that just, to me, that's awe inspiring." ## If you use these quotes, please credit the original source and link back to Sacnilk with an h/t for the transcription. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Roman Reigns' post-WrestleMania 40 victory celebration took a turn when he kicked a reporter out of the press conference. ## Following his win alongside The Rock in the main event, Reigns, known for demanding the audience's "acknowledgement," took offense to a reporter's boo. He demanded the reporter, a woman with glasses, be removed, threatening to leave himself if security didn't comply.## "I'm serious. The lady with the glasses, get her out. Get her out or I'm leaving! Use your feet. You're wasting our time lady," said Reigns. ## While Paul Heyman attempted to lighten the mood, the incident has gone viral, with the clip exceeding 1 million views. Whether staged or legitimate, the exchange has certainly generated buzz.## This adds another layer to Reigns' upcoming WrestleMania Sunday match. Already set to be historic as his ninth main event, a potential loss to challenger Cody Rhodes could mean a very different post-show media appearance, if any. ## ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

This WrestleMania is historic for being the first held after the wrestling company merged with Endeavor, owner of rival MMA promotion UFC. The combined entity, TKO Group Holdings, now takes the reins. This marks a shift, as the McMahon family is no longer in control. ## This year's WrestleMania ushers in a new era with Triple H at the helm of creative. The WWE Universe applauds his strategic genius for crafting an impressive match card for both nights of the Grandest Stage of them All. ## At the WWE WrestleMania 40 Post-Show Press Conference, The Rock praised Triple H's influence over the company and stated that he has done a tremendous job as the chief creative officer. ## "I think the Triple H has done a tremendous job as our chief creative officer I think that's his title he has earned. He has a few and earned every single one of them, I like ushering in new things and new times and new eras and it feels like and our world here and professional wrestling. It is a new era that we're ushering in. ## I talked to Paul Lovak Triple H earlier as we were kicking off and kicking off the show tonight and without giving any detail on what we talked about, like it was a special night for him. This was the beginning of something and marking the beginning of something new for him under his creative. And I think from a company standpoint, this is an exciting time for the company for WWE. It's an exciting time for TKO. You felt the convergence towards the end of the year when the acquisition happened. ## You felt the convergence in the first quarter of the year, as I was fortunate enough to come back, and as we kind of traverse our way through what the storylines could look like. And so it's an exciting time, and I think we capped off day one of WrestleMania this Wrestlemania that we have stated was going to be the biggest of all time, which is really saying a lot obviously considering given the givens and how many great WrestleMania there has been in the past so I thought that we collectively as a company and as a team put out a really good show tonight. And the best part about putting on a great show tonight is you get to do it all over again tomorrow." ## If you use these quotes, please credit the original source and link back to Sacnilk with an h/t for the transcription. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Reigns and The Rock teamed up to beat Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a wild main event at WrestleMania 40. There was a lot of bad blood between everyone involved, and things got heated early on. Both teams gave fans a preview of their upcoming one-on-one matches at WrestleMania 41.## The fight wasn't just in the ring. The Rock even threatened a ref to stop a possible count-out. Rollins fought hard despite a hurt knee, and Rhodes had a good strategy, but they still lost. It looked like Rhodes had it won after a big move on Reigns, but The Rock pulled the ref out of the ring just in time.## The ending was crazy with moves going back and forth. The Rock tried to hit Rhodes with his finishing move, but Rhodes stopped him. Reigns tried to spear Rhodes, but accidentally hit The Rock instead. Rhodes took advantage by putting The Rock through a table with another wrestler's move, and Reigns speared Rollins through the barricade at the same time.## In the end, The Rock hit Rhodes with two big moves to win the match. Because of this win, the main event of WrestleMania 41 will be a Bloodline Rules match, which means it will be extra bloody and violent. This adds even more hype to the already big championship match between Reigns and Rhodes.## During WrestleMania XL Saturday Press Conference, The Rock was asked about how he's feeling right now coming off of that main event. ## "I feel great. body feels great. I just had the time in my life. And I put in a lot of work. We had a hell of a training camp, which lasted probably about 10 to 12 weeks and I wanted to make sure that I was as prepared as I possibly could be. These guys who I've wrestled with tonight, I know they're the best in the world and on the planet and I wanted to make sure that I came in game ready and ring ready as best I can. As you guys know. ## It's impossible to simulate what happens in the ring. You can run your training camps. I had a ring set up and flown to Hawaii where we were at where I spend a lot of my time with my family where we live a ring in California too as well. There was a ring in Georgia to make sure that around every corner and everywhere that I went the first quarter of this year there was a ring flew in a lot of wrestlers who were really amazing and willing to work their asses off to just make sure that I was prepared. So we went out there I enjoyed every second of that. and I've been a lucky guy over the years to have participated in some pretty cool things that have been very gratifying. There's nothing like performing at WrestleMania in front of 1000s of 1000s of people. And there's nothing like performing with your fellow pro wrestlers.
