WATCH: WWE Teases Huge Money In The Bank Twist

•

That would be a different way to go. There are a lot of different concepts that WWE presents on a regular basis, some of which have major championship implications. It can mean something big is taking place when one of them is mentioned and sometimes these things are announced in advance. Now we have gotten a big clue about something going in a different way. The closing segment of this week’s NXT featured a three way discussion between the competitors in the Halloween Havoc triple threat match for the NXT Title. At the end of the show, Mr. Money In The Bank Austin Theory, from Monday Night Raw, appeared and suggested that he could cash in his contract for the NXT Title. Theory has held the briefcase since July 2 when he won the Money In The Bank briefcase. This could make things interesting. Check out the big tease: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: In a way, this might be the best thing that could happen to Theory and his briefcase. It has been a long time since..

Very Important Update On Hangman Page’s Injury Status

•

That’s a huge relief. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to suffer an injury and you never want to see anything like that happen. Someone can be in the middle of a match and be taken down in an instant, which unfortunately is what happened this week. It became a question of what would happen next and now we have a very important, and thankfully positive, update. This week on AEW Dynamite, Hangman Page was injured in a match against Jon Moxley. Page was hit with a clothesline and landed on his head, resulting in the match being instantly stopped, with Page being taken out on a stretcher. AEW has posted an update on Twitter, saying that Page was taken to a hospital where he was diagnosed with a concussion and discharged. There is no word on how long Page will be out of action. #Hangman @theAdamPage Medical Update pic.twitter.com/NAFnfzFhEL — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) October 19, 2022 Opinion: The fact that Page was already discharged from the hospital, less than three hours ..

Hangman Adam Page Seriously Injured on AEW Dynamite

•

You hate to see it. The main event of tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured Jon Moxley defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Hangman Adam Page. Unfortunately, the match had to be stopped due to a serious injury suffered by Page during the match. Page landed on his head after a spot in which he took a lariat from Moxley. As soon as Page hit the ground, his body seemed to go limp and he wasn’t able to move. The referee and ringside doctor, Doc Sampson made the decision to stop the match with about 10 minutes remaining on the show. During a commercial break, several officials took down the ropes in order to take out Page on a stretcher. You can see a clip of that below: They are literally taking the ropes down to take hangman Adam page out of the ring on a stretcher. #AEWDynamite pic.twitter.com/9hwcUQSAuK — Marshall Lloyd ?

NXT Star Expected For Some Main Roster Appearances

•

He’ll be around for a bit. There are a lot of talented stars on the WWE roster, to the point where the company has split them into three groups. While there are two main rosters, there is also the NXT developmental brand. It can be a huge moment when someone is promoted from NXT to the main roster. While that does not seem to be happening at the moment, someone is coming up for an extended visit. NXT’s Cameron Grimes made a surprise appearance this week on Monday Night Raw, as he convinced the OC to help him in his feud with the Schism. According to PWInsider.com, there is a chance that Grimes could be making more appearances on Monday Night Raw in the future. At the moment, there is nothing to suggest that Grimes has been called up to the main roster full time. Opinion: This is some good news as Grimes is one of the few stars in NXT who feels like he could be on the main roster today with no trouble. That is not something you get to see very often and it would be great to have him a..

REVIEW: Halloween Havoc 1999: The Zaniness Is Upon Us

Halloween Havoc 1999 Date: October 24, 1999 Location: MGM Garden Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada Attendance: 8,464 Commentators: Bobby Heenan, Tony Schiavone The Russo Era is officially upon us as we got a big time preview this past Monday. However, this show is the real thing with Russo getting to direct where things go from here. Expect to see a lot more pointless talking, a lot more insanity and a lot more shouting about what I did to deserve this. Let’s get to it. The opening video focuses on Sid vs. Goldberg and mentions the whole “Goldberg can’t touch him” bit, which has basically been ignored. Hogan vs. Sting gets even less hype. A LOUD Weasel chant is ignored by Heenan as Tony announces that due to Rey Mysterio being injured, the Filthy Animals have been stripped of the Tag Team Titles. The solution? A triple threat hardcore title match for the belts with Kidman substituting for Mysterio. Well why bother having a match when you can just make it hardcore? They run down the rest of ..

Two WWE Legends Talk Helping Edge vs. The Judgment Day

•

He has some options. There are different ways to present a feud, with one of the options being to have one wrestler vs. a group. It can make things complicated for the one who is on their own and the situation often involves finding someone else to help in the fight. That is the case again and now two legends are at least considering offering their assistance to their old friend or rival. Over the last several months, Edge has feuded with the Judgment Day. While Edge has had assistance against the team, he has been outnumbered on multiple occasions. Now two legends are talking about the story. First, during a live signing with K&S WrestleFest, Edge’s former Brood teammate Gangrel was asked if he would return to help Edge fight. Gangrel said “never say never, but creeping up there in age”. Second, during an appearance on the Extraaa Dhamaal show, WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley said that Edge needed to face Finn Balor again, but with someone having his back. Dudley suggested that the D..

Sheamus Teases Bloodline vs. Brawling Brutes Feud

That would be a different way to go. We are just over a month away from Survivor Series and this year’s edition is going to be a little bit different. This year, the show will feature a pair of WarGames matches, marking the first time that the match has come to a main roster WWE event. The matches need lineups, and now a star is teasing some major involvement in one of the matches. Last week’s SmackDown saw Sheamus, Rey Mysterio, Solo Sikoa and Ricochet compete in a match for the #1 contendership to the Intercontinental Title. During the match, the Usos got involved, which drew out the Brawling Brutes to help Sheamus. Following the match, Sheamus sent out a tweet saying “The end of the Bloodline starts with Solo. Ireland V Islanders.” While not confirmed, this could mean the start of a feud between the two groups. The end of the Bloodline starts with Solo.

WATCH: Bayley Squares Off With Fan At WWE Live Event

That’s some quality villainy. For the most part, wrestlers are divided into groups of babyfaces and heels. The heels are there to make fans angry at them and to get the fans cheering for the babyfaces to give them what they deserve. That can be accomplished in a variety of ways and now we saw one of the better methods this weekend at a non-televised events. A video has been released to Twitter showing a match between Bayley and Bianca Belair at a recent WWE live event in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The video includes Bayley arguing with a young fan at ringside multiple times, with the fan shouting that she wants Bayley to lose.

WWE Reportedly Impressed With Superstar’s Recent Work

•

I’d say he has earned it. With so many people on the WWE roster, it can be difficult for anyone to stand out. It can take a lot of effort and work for a wrestler to become a next level star, but ultimately it takes a higher up being willing to give someone a chance. A wrestler getting noticed is a big deal and now another one has begun to turn some important heads. According to Fightful Select, Angelo Dawkins has been receiving positive reviews for his recent in-ring work. Dawkins has been praised for improving his physique, style and match quality. Dawkins has also been wrestling more singles matches as of late, as he has competed in more singles matches since June than he did from WrestleMania 37 until May 2022. It is expected that his singles matches will continue. Opinion: For a very long time now, the story has been that Dawkins’ partner Montez Ford is expected to be the breakout star from the Street Profits.

Matt Hardy Explains Vince McMahon’s Complicated Relationship With Bray Wyatt

•

They have a unique relationship. There has never been anyone in wrestling as powerful or influential as Vince McMahon. During his time running WWE, McMahon was able to make or break anyone’s career in the blink of an eye, meaning a relationship with him was one of the most important things a wrestler could have. Now we are hearing about one of the stranger relationships that McMahon had with anyone. During a recent edition of his The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt Hardy talked about McMahon’s relationship with Bray Wyatt during Wyatt’s time in WWE. Hardy described the relationship as McMahon looking on Wyatt as a son at times. When Wyatt did something positive, McMahon would heap praise on him. When Wyatt did something McMahon didn’t like though, McMahon would punish and insult him. Wyatt returned to WWE at Extreme Rules, months after McMahon retired from WWE. Opinion: To say McMahon is a strange character is an understatement as you never knew what he was going to do at an..

He can do some things. There have been a lot of stars throughout WWE’s history and some of them have become legends of the industry. You know these stars when you see them and it can mean something to see them show up again after a long absence. That was the situation again this week, as a legend showed up in a new role in an effort to build up a younger star. This week on Monday Night Raw, WWE Hall of Famer John Bradshaw Layfield made a surprise appearance, introducing Baron Corbin as the newest member of the Monday Night Raw roster. Corbin was sent to the show in exchange for Rey Mysterio, who jumped to SmackDown last week. This comes after Layfield picked Corbin up in his limo after a loss on SmackDown back in August. Corbin would go on to defeat Dolph Ziggler with Layfield on commentary.

Monday Night Raw Date: October 17, 2022 Location: Paycom Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Commentators: Corey Graves, Kevin Patrick We’re rapidly approaching Crown Jewel and WWE has the main event covered with Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns. That leaves some spots open for the rest of the card, some of which needs to be filled in soon. Odds are we’ll get some of that soon and you can probably guess some of the matches from here. Let’s get to it. We open with Bobby Lashley in the ring mid-promo, where he calls out Brock Lesnar. Cue Lesnar and they get in a fight before Lesnar can even make it to the ring, with Lashley getting posted on the floor. Lashley slips out of another posting and sends Lesnar into it instead.

Three on each side. We are coming up on one of the biggest WWE shows of the year with November 5’s Crown Jewel. The show will be taking place in Saudi Arabia as part of WWE’s working relationship with the kingdom.

That would be different. WWE runs regular monthly premium live events as the focal point of their in-ring action. This includes several shows that the company has run for years if not decades, many of which are among the best known shows in wrestling. The company presents several shows that involve some kind of a special theme, but that might be changing going forward. According to Bryan Alvarez’s Super Fans Twitter account, by way of Wrestlingnews.co, WWE is planning to make a change to its premium live events starting in 2023. This would include more international events and fewer gimmick based events, such as Hell In A Cell or Tables Ladders And Chairs, for example. There is no word on what kind of shows would replace the originals. This comes after news broke that WWE was canceling it’s Day One event.

That’s a little harsh. The world of women’s wrestling in WWE has come a very long way in the last few years and that has been a very good thing. Women’s wrestling had long been treated as a sideshow and rarely something to be taken seriously. Now though, women in WWE have become among the top stars in the promotion. However, things were not always that way and now we know just how bad things got. In a new interview with Wrestling Purists, former WWE star Melina spoke about how women were punished in WWE in previous eras. Melina said that after women would do something extraordinary, they be punished with absurd matches, such as swimsuit matches or lingerie matches.

Bret Hart Names The Greatest Villain In WWE History (You Might Be Surprised)

That’s some high praise. There have been a lot of stars throughout WWE’s history but only a few have reached the top of the company. Those are the names that fans remember for decades to come as they have left a lasting impact on everything they do. Hearing from them even after they are retired can still mean a lot and now one of the all time legends has made a bold statement.

Here’s One Of The First Storylines Triple H Dropped When He Regained Power In WWE

He wasn’t a fan. There are all kinds of characters in wrestling and some of them are a lot more successful than others. Finding the right character for the right wrestlers is one of the trickiest things to do as the wrong combination can be a complete mistake.
