Finn Balor Is Looking To Snap A Stunning WWE Streak
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A surprising statistic regarding decorated WWE Raw superstar Finn Balor has come out. Wrestle Ops pointed out that today, June 3, 2025, "marks 1 full year since Finn Balor last won a singles match" on television. The prominent Judgment Day member has gotten only three wins in singles action within the past 2 years. This comes despite his consistent presence in high-profile storylines and tag team championship success. Balor's most recent attempt to secure a significant singles opportunity came just last night on the June 2nd episode of Raw. He competed in a challenging Triple Threat Money in the Bank qualifying match against CM Punk and "El Grande Americano" Chad Gable. CM Punk ultimately won the bout. Throughout 2025, Balor has remained a cornerstone of the heel faction, The Judgment Day, on Monday Night RAW. While his individual singles victories have been scarce, he has reached considerable success in the tag team ranks. He notably held the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championships multiple times with fellow Judgment Day member Damian Priest. The group, also featuring Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Liv Morgan, Carlito (before his recent departure), and new recruit Roxanne Perez, continues to be a dominant force on the red brand.

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA - APRIL 08: JD McDonagh, Finn Balor, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest, WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley, Dominik Mysterio standing in ring at the Wells Fargo Center on April 8, 2024 in Philadelphia, news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation Balor's WWE career boasts an impressive list of accolades. He made a massive impact in NXT, where he was a two-time NXT Champion, holding the record for the longest combined reign. Upon his main roster debut in 2016, he made history by becoming the first-ever WWE Universal Champion. His resume also includes two reigns as Intercontinental Champion and one as United States Champion, showcasing his versatility and main event caliber. Known for his captivating "Demon" persona, which appears for his biggest matches, Balor has consistently been a top-level performer until the last three years, during which he has lost the majority of his matches. This current drought in televised singles victories is therefore a notable statistic for a superstar of his stature, even as he thrives within The Judgment Day. It will be interesting to see if WWE turns around its winning ways in the near future or if it continues to head down this direction. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

3 signs of a future Liv Morgan singles run dropped on WWE RAW
(Image Via WWE) Liv Morgan might return to becoming a singles competitor after huge hints showed on Monday Night RAW. Liv Morgan carried the WWE women's division on her back throughout 2024 and into 2025 as the WWE Women's World Champion. However, it has been a few months since she became a part of the tag team division with Raquel Rodriguez. The duo has won the titles twice this year. Not only that, Morgan has also been a part of the stable, Judgment Day, alongside her onscreen boyfriend, Dominik Mysterio. She made her return to Monday Night RAW on the May 26th edition after being away due to the filming of her new Hollywood film, 'Bad Lieutenant: Tokyo.' On her first night back, there were hints that she is set to split from her boyfriend, her tag team, and stable moving forward. Here are the three signs that indicate that Liv Morgan will soon return to being a singles performer: 3. Altercation with Raquel Rodriguez Liv Morgan had her return match on this week's edition of Monday Night RAW. She faced Kairi Sane in an exciting showdown and was at the top of her game, even after missing in-ring action for almost a month. Morgan was in control until Raquel Rodriguez got into an argument with Roxanne Perez, who came out, looking like she was trying to help Morgan. 2. Eyeing IYO Sky's title The events that led to Liv Morgan's match against Kairi Sane were due to a backstage segment. She and Raquel Rodriguez crossed paths with Kairi Sane and her former Damage CTRL cohort, IYO Sky, who is the reigning WWE Women's World Champion. Morgan mocked the duo and even eyed her title. This could be a huge hint that Morgan might be looking to regain the title and embark on a singles run to get away from the Judgment Day fiasco and solely focus on getting back on top. 1. Roxanne Perez growing closer to Dominik Mysterio Roxanne Perez made her debut as an official Monday Night RAW superstar last week and was introduced to the Judgment Day. She showed interest, especially in Dominik Mysterio with chicken tenders last week and even this week. This has led to a huge speculation that Morgan and Mysterio will be splitting soon. With Perez growing fondness by the Judgment Day members and Dom also showing a little interest, Liv Morgan's relationship with him and the faction can come to an end and mark her returns a singles competitor.

"I won't be able to perform"- Zoey Starks' first remarks after suffering major injury on WWE RAW
Image via WWE An emerging prospect from Monday Night RAW broke their silence after suffering an injury this week. The world of professional wrestling often witnesses superstars get injured due to the amazing athleticism they deliver in front of fans in the ring. This week on WWE Monday Night RAW , tragedy fell on one of their top prospects, Zoey Stark , who left the red brand, getting injured. The spot itself looked dangerous, and it had been rumored that she had been undergoing evaluation for the same. Days after the unfortunate incident, Stark sent out her first remarks for the WWE Universe. What did Zoey Stark have to say following her injury on Monday Night RAW? Zoey Stark took to her X to pen down a message after suffering a knee injury on RAW this week. She revealed that she would not be able to perform in the ring for a while and was grateful for all the wishes and support she received for her recovery. Moreover, Stark remained positive and vowed to come back even stronger. Stark tweeted, " Wow the love and support means more to me than you'll ever know! What hurts more than my knee is knowing I wont be able to perform for all of you for a while. I LOVE what I do and I'm blessed to do this. As the saying goes, the comeback is greater than the setback. Love you guys #StarkMarks." The former NXT standout was a part of the triple-threat Money in the Bank qualifier match involving Rhea Ripley and Kairi Sane. Just a few minutes into the match, Zoey Stark attempted a Snipe Missile Dropkick on Sane, but she landed awkwardly on her leg and injured her knee in the process. Stark was escorted out of the ring by an official, but did not even have the power to limp to the backstage area. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Why Didn't Anyone Tell You About This Power Saver? elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo Hence, she was carried by the official, hinting at the severity of the injury.

Ravens schedule 2025: Baltimore makes a list of teams deserving of more prime-time games
Ravens schedule 2025: Baltimore makes a list of teams deserving of more prime-time games Baltimore will play four games in prime time this season, and Pro Football Network added the Ravens to the list of teams deserving of more night games The NFL schedule was released last Wednesday night, and the Ravens are scheduled for four prime-time games, including a rare "Monday Night Football" game in Baltimore against the Detroit Lions in Week 3. Since John Harbaugh became the Ravens' coach in 2008, Baltimore has only had five home Monday Night games, tied with Houston and Jacksonville for the fewest in those 16 years. Baltimore is the Super Bowl favorite, but the NFL kept the Ravens in nine early afternoon (1:00 PM ET) and two late afternoon contests. Pro Football Network looked at four teams that deserved more primetime matchups, and Baltimore made the cut. This one's a head-scratcher. The Ravens are consistently one of the league's top teams, yet they were given fewer prime-time games than the Chicago Bears, Dolphins, and Falcons. Baltimore is No. 1 in PFSN's power rankings heading into 2025, and its offense ranked second in Offense+, trailing only the Detroit Lions. The Ravens led the league in EPA per dropback, EPA per rush, and red-zone efficiency. Lamar Jackson was dominant again in an MVP-level year, and he has Derrick Henry in the backfield. The Ravens' defense had some issues against the pass last season, but it still graded out as a top-10 unit in Defense+. With the additions of Malaki Starks and Mike Green in the draft, they should take a leap in 2025. Baltimore's final two games (at Green Bay and Pittsburgh) could be flexed into prime time, giving John Harbaugh's team six overall. Week 1: Ravens @ Bills September 7 8:20 P.M. ET NBC/Peacock Week 3: Ravens vs. Lions September 22 8:15 P.M. ET ABC/ESPN/ESPN+ Week 9: Ravens @ Dolphins October 30 8:15 P.M. ET Amazon Prime Week 13: Ravens vs. Bengals

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Natalya Neidhart, known to WWE fans simply as Natalya, is one of the most respected figures in modern professional wrestling. A third-generation superstar from Canada's legendary Hart wrestling family, she is the daughter of Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart and the niece of WWE Hall of Famers Bret "Hit Man" Hart and Owen Hart. Natalya recently made her in-ring debut for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA). This first appearance happened at the 2025 NWA Crockett Cup event, which took place in Philadelphia. In her debut match, Natalya faced off against Kenzie Paige. After the match concluded, a scuffle broke out involving Natalya and a person in the crowd. The incident led to Natalya physically striking the fan in the face. MuscleManMalcolm posted a clip of the moment online. In the video, Natalya, often called Nattie by WWE fans, is seen walking up to a man wearing a pink shirt who is sitting at ringside. She then slaps him on the head, and the man falls to the ground.

WWE/Getty Images Natalya then reached over the ringside barrier and tried to hit him again. Security staff quickly stepped in to stop the situation. Many people who saw the clip online began to guess that the whole thing was a planned or " worked" part of the show. It now seems that these guesses were correct.

The report also mentioned that this same fan was seen taking photos with Natalya after the planned event during the NWA show. Trained in the famed Hart Family Dungeon, Natalya has carved out a long and decorated career in WWE since officially signing in 2007. She is a multi-time champion, having held both the WWE Divas Championship and the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship. Beyond championships, Natalya holds several WWE records for female superstars, including the most pay-per-view appearances, most matches wrestled, and most wins. Known for her technical skill, resilience, and ability to work with a wide range of talent, she has been a foundational piece of the WWE women's division for well over a decade, playing a key role through its various evolutions, including the Women's Revolution. Her 2025 journey within the WWE landscape has seen her continue to be a veteran presence. She often works with and helps to guide newer talent on the Raw brand while also seeking opportunities to add more championship gold to her impressive resume.
