#1 Charlotte Flair's goof-up

Charlotte took on Lana in a match on SmackDown Live this week. While Flair managed to defeat Lana with very little effort, she was embarrassed during the match by a goof-up. When Lana was trying to flip Charlotte over, she accidentally pulled down the latter's tights, and those in the audience got a full view of The Queen's backside.

Charlotte really took this embarrassing situation in her stride as she appeared on 'What's the Tea', a parody show hosted by her fellow SmackDown Live Superstar Becky Lynch where she was asked to explain the matter. Charlotte Flair replied jokingly, saying that she wanted to give those in Toronto a good show.

That was not all, as Charlotte alluded to the situation on her own social media and sent out the following Tweet:

It's great to see Charlotte Flair in such good spirits about what is a potentially mortifying situation. How ironic that this sort of thing happens the week after Eva Marie departed from the company forever.

#2 World's best women's wrestler made her NXT debut

While the men's division on NXT has gone from strength to strength, the women's division has lacked true superstars with the potential to take Asuka's crown. Kairi Sane, who's signed a 3-year deal with WWE made her NXT debut recently at a Live Event in St. Petersburg, Florida, as brand NXT hit the road. She teamed up with Dakota Kai and Aliyah to take on Billie Kay, Peyton Royce and Shayna Baszler from the UFC. Thankfully, she even picked up the big win with her absolutely gorgeous looking elbow drop. Sane will be a great addition the roster if she joins NXT full time and can really bolster the entire division.

#3 A serious war of words

Corbin and Meltzer had quite the Twitter spat!
Corbin and Meltzer had quite the Twitter spat!

Renowned sports entertainment journalist Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer and WWE Superstar Baron Corbin got into a serious argument on Twitter, after Wrestling News posted a comment that Meltzer had made about Corbin calling the latter's current run 'an example of WWE's fetish with tall guys'. Here's how their argument went:

Corbin responded with the utmost venom:

The bitter Twitter wars continued as Meltzer and Corbin shot Tweets at one another, with regard to the matter at hand:

The fight would not end there, as Corbin indicated that Meltzer had no right to judge wrestlers, considering he wasn't really a wrestler himself. Meltzer took this opportunity to fire the final shot.

Let's hope Corbin does not run his mouth off on Twitter anymore. Meltzer's comments really did shut him up.

#4 Steve Austin revealed his dream opponent

This could have been the biggest match in history!
This could have been the biggest match in history!

When you think of sports entertainment, the first two names that flash in your mind are invariably either Stone Cold Steve Austin or Hulk Hogan. During a recent podcast, Stone Cold revealed the one opponent he would have loved to face:

"I gotta say Hulk Hogan, because one of the biggest draws in the history of the business. Everybody thought that match between ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan should have happened a couple years back and never did."

Stone Cold also revealed the reason why the biggest match in wrestling never happened:

"Just for whatever reason, I didn’t feel like stepping back in the ring, I think Hogan was ready to go, but I wasn’t and so, I never got a chance to wrestle that guy and it would’ve been fun to be in the ring with him... "

Unfortunately for fans, this match will always remain a what-if. Let's move from this sad bit of news to a more happy update on the very next page.

#5 Kurt Angle is now 4 years sober

It is no secret that Kurt Angle has battled addiction for a long time. The demon has loomed over his head, and it was a tough and brave battle that Angle waged to ward the evil off forever. We are glad to report that Angle has been sober for 4 years now, according to an update he posted on Instagram. Today, he is in complete control of his senses and is a total family man — both off screen with his actual family and on screen with his kayfabe son.

Good going, Mr Angle!

#6 Return of the Demon King

Balor will tap into his dark side at SummerSlam!
Balor will tap into his dark side at SummerSlam!

Kurt Angle managed to fight his demons, but the question is whether Bray Wyatt can fight this demon! We've not seen this avatar for exactly a year, since the previous edition of SummerSlam last year when Balor became the first ever Universal Champion in WWE history.

According to a report from our featured columnist Billi Bhatti, The Demon King will grace our screens at SummerSlam this year again when he faces Bray Wyatt. This should be an epic clash between good and evil, and we couldn't be any more excited. Remember, we told you about this development, before anyone else!

After all, he has kids to support!
After all, he has kids to support!

Four time WWE Tag Team Champion, Heath Slater announced via social media that he had recently opened his own wrestling school. It is called Face2Face Wrestling, and superstars there can benefit from the experience of veterans such as Teddy Long, Jazz and Ron Simmons. Damn!

The school is a state-of-the-art facility that has an AV Center, Media Rooms, Promo Rooms and but naturally, a locker room. Slater went on social media and announced the launch of this institution:
