It’s time for another edition of the weekly stock report! This week, we’ll be taking a look at the Superstars whose stock has decreased and those whose stock has increased. After a busy week that included SummerSlam 2023, there have been some significant changes in the wrestling landscape. Let’s dive right in!
Stock Down #3: Matt Riddle
Matt Riddle finds himself on the stock down list this week. During a recent episode of Raw, Riddle lost to GUNTHER’s fodder henchman, Ludwig Kaiser. To add insult to injury, Riddle was one of the unfortunate Superstars tossed out of the ring by Omos during the SummerSlam Battle Royal. It seems like Riddle’s push may have hit a roadblock, and he might need the return of Randy Orton to regain some momentum.
Stock Down #2: Becky Lynch & Trish Stratus
Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus have both seen their stock decrease this week. Despite initial plans for a match between the two at SummerSlam, it appears that time constraints led to their match being cut from the event. The lack of interest in their feud may have played a role in this decision. Hopefully, both Superstars can find new opportunities to regain their momentum.
Stock Down #1: Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey’s stock has taken a hit recently. While it’s not confirmed if SummerSlam was her last match, there are speculations that Rousey will be leaving WWE soon. In her MMA Rules match against Shayna Baszler, Rousey was choked out, leading to a disappointing match. Rousey’s second run with WWE has been met with mixed reviews, and her departure may open up opportunities for other talented Superstars.
Now, let’s shift our focus to the Superstars whose stock has increased:
Stock Up #3: Seth Rollins
Seth Rollins has been on fire recently. As the World Heavyweight Champion, Rollins has successfully defended his title against Finn Balor at two consecutive PPVs. This dominant run suggests that Rollins may hold onto the championship for a significant period. The Judgment Day stable’s top heel act continues to make waves on Raw.
Stock Up #2: IYO SKY
IYO SKY has experienced a significant boost in her stock. She cashed in her Money in the Bank contract at SummerSlam and emerged victorious against Bianca Belair, becoming the new WWE Women’s Champion. This win opens up exciting possibilities for IYO SKY, including potential feuds with top stars like Charlotte Flair, Asuka, and Bianca Belair.
Stock Up #1: Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes is riding high after a big win at SummerSlam. He defeated Lesnar cleanly and received a glowing endorsement from The Beast himself. This victory against Lesnar puts Rhodes in a unique position, as not many Superstars have been able to defeat Lesnar in such a manner. Could this be a sign that Rhodes is being positioned as the next challenger to Roman Reigns’ WWE Universal Championship?
That wraps up this week’s stock report! Do you agree with our assessments? Let us know whose stock you think has changed the most this week!
