It’s A Good Day: Big E Offers Very Positive Health Update

•

That could be worse. Injuries are one of the few universal problems in wrestling and there is no way around them. No matter who you are, there is always the chance that you are going to get hurt. Unfortunately some of those injuries can be very serious and leave someone on the shelf for a long time. That is the case again, but now we have a positive update. On March 11, Big E suffered a broken neck during a match on SmackDown. Big E has offered another update, saying that his C1 vertebrae is not forming new bone and there will be another scan at the one year mark of his recovery. However, surgery is off the table and Big E should be able to heal on his own. There is no word on when or if Big E will be able to wrestle again. Update! My C1 isn’t ossifying (forming bone) quite yet. The current plan is to get more scans at the one year mark & see how it’s progressing. The great news is I feel tremendous & surgery is off the table. — Ettore “Big E” Ewen (@WWEBigE) July 4, 2022 Opinion: ..

Who’s The Boss: Interesting Detail On Logan Paul’s WWE Deal

•

Money talks. Celebrities have a long history of being involved in wrestling and it makes a lot of sense. Fans are interested in seeing what someone from outside the wrestling world can do there and it can make for some interesting results. That is the case again in WWE with a new signee, and it turns out that the new star has a bit more authority than most regular wrestlers. Last week, social media star Logan Paul officially signed with WWE. During his signing, Paul cut a promo on the Miz, promising that he was coming for him. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, this is because Paul is reportedly “calling the shots” with WWE and wants to be presented as the hero in the story. The two are expected to face off at Summerslam following Miz attacking Paul at WrestleMania 38. Opinion: This is one of those things that you do not get to see very often but it does make some sense. Paul is a star and someone who does not need WWE to be seen as a big deal. It makes sense for WWE to let him h..

Bring Him In: UFC Champion Wants To Try His Hand At Professional Wrestling

He has a plan. There are all kinds of wrestlers who have come from another sport. This has been the case for years and it will likely continue to be the case for as long as wrestling is around. In modern times, mixed martial arts has become more prevalent as a feeder system to wrestling and now another top mixed martial artist seems interested in at least dabbling in wrestling. On Saturday, UFC Middleweight Champion Israel Adesanya made an entrance inspired by the Undertaker. In an interview with BT Sports, Adesanya said that he would be interested in working with WWE, or some other promotion at some point. Adesanya said that it is something he would like to do for fun rather than as a full time job. Adesanya revealed that he once broke his arm jumping off the couch trying to do a shooting star. There is no word on when Adesanya would want to try wrestling or where it would be. Opinion: This is the kind of thing there you can imagine WWE or AEW lining up to get Adesanya to appear whe..

WWE Legend Was Once Thrown Out Of The Locker Room

•

Everyone has to start somewhere. There have been a lot of wrestlers to come through the WWE locker room over the years but only a few have stood out at the highest level. Those are the names that are remembered in a fond way for a long time to come, but even they might not have had the best time in the company. One such legend is talking about how badly things went for her at first. During an interview with NBC Sports Boston, WWE legend Victoria spoke about her beginnings with the company. Victoria began with WWE as one of Godfather’s Ho’s, despite having signed a full time contract with the company. When she started, she dressed in the women’s locker room but was thrown out by one of the other WWE stars, forcing her to dress in the janitor’s closet. This was due to the majority of the Godfather’s Ho’s being local strippers rather than full time wrestlers. Victoria went on to become a two time WWE Women’s Champion and spent over twenty years in the industry. Opinion: This is one of t..

Ouch Again: AEW Star Reveals New Details On His Injury Status

•

I’m not sure if that is better or worse. Injuries are one of the worst things that can happen to any wrestler as you never know when someone is going to be out of action for a long time. Someone can get hurt at any point and miss any amount of times. Occasionally the injuries are going to build up over time and unfortunately that seems to be the case again with a modern star. Last month, AEW’s Kyle O’Reilly was put on the shelf with an injury. During an interview with This is VANCOLOUR, O’Reilly gave an update on his status, revealing that the issue, which he has not specified, has been a nagging issue for years. O’Reilly does not know the length of time he will be out of action, but he will know more about it soon. There is no word on what happened to force O’Reilly to miss ring time. Opinion: This is the kind of update that doesn’t offer many more details but it does put things in a bit more context. O’Reilly has been banged up for a long time now and at some point he reached a lev..

Monday Night Raw Results – July 4, 2022

•

Monday Night Raw Date: July 4, 2022 Location: Pechange Arena, San Diego, California Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton It’s a special day as we are live on a major holiday, meaning there will be a grand total of no one watching this show. We’re also fresh off of Money In The Bank and one briefcase is down, as Liv Morgan is the new Smackdown Women’s Champion. Theory is no longer the US Champion but he is Mr. Money In The Bank, which he probably will be for a long time since I’m not sure if Roman Reigns works here anymore. Let’s get to it. Ric Flair’s WOO is back in the Then, Now, Forever opening. The opening video features a look at some very American things before promising to celebrate freedom and breaking the bank tonight. Here is new United States Champion Bobby Lashley to get things going. Lashley is very happy to be back and welcomes us to the show. It’s the man that makes the title and there is not another man in any division or promotion who can beat him..

Run It Back: Title Rematch Officially Set For WWE Summerslam

Round two. Money In The Bank has come and gone but WWE has to pick up the pace because Summerslam takes place later this month. That means they need to set up a card for the event in a hurry and thankfully they have already gotten started on the process. Some of the matches will be things that you have seen before and now we know another rematch that will be taking place. At Money In The Bank, Bobby Lashley defeated Theory to become the new United States Champion. This week on Monday Night Raw, Theory announced that he will be receiving his rematch against Lashley at Summerslam. Theory also promised to cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase that night against the winner of the show’s main event. Summerslam takes place on Saturday July 30. Opinion: This is a match that makes sense for both people as there is already a match built in and a reason for it to take place. Theory isn’t likely to get the title back but I’ll take a match like this over throwing something together in such a s..

No, She Won’t: Former WWE Star Slams Independent Show For Falsely Advertising Her

•

They might want to correct that. There are a lot of wrestling promotions around the world and some of them have been around a lot longer than others. A promotion needs to be able to build up its reputation over the years and that is easier said than done. Every promotion has to start somewhere, but now a new one does not seem to be getting off on exactly the right foot. Lina Fanene, better known as Nia Jax, has sent out a tweet reiterating that she will not be appearing for the Wrestling Entertainment Series event on Saturday July 9. Fanene made it clear that if you buy a ticket, you will not see her perform or have a chance to win a meet and greet with her. The show was rescheduled from June 4 in Nottingham, England with Fanene originally advertised. I do not know why I am still on this poster, but I will REPEAT myself again…I will NOT be at the show. Please do not buy a ticket thinking you will see me perform or get a chance to meet me. I hate that this misleads people! https://t.c..

No More? Top AEW Tag Team May Be Going Their Separate Ways

•

There could be a problem. AEW has been around for over three years now and the company’s tag team division continues to be one of its greatest strengths. The company has all kinds of great tag teams and the division has grown even stronger over time. That is the kind of thing that few promotions are able to do, but now one of the teams might not have much longer together. According to the Fightful review of AEW’s Blood & Guts, there has been some kind of a falling out between AEW’s Santa and Ortiz. The team has only wrestled two regular tag team matches in AEW this year, with their most recent taking place in March. They also no longer stand next to each other during segments and Santana has been taking solo independent bookings. There is no word on if the team will split or what caused any possible issue in the first place. Opinion: This is a situation where the two people involved know what is going on and that is what matters. As a fan, I would be sad to see the team split as they..

WRESTLING RUMORS: Ronda Rousey Demanded Liv Morgan Beat Her

A selfless star. The WWE women’s division has come a long way and a lot of that is due to their star power. The company has a group of top names who have taken the division further than almost anyone could have thought possible. However, at some point you need someone new to fill in the spots, and that seems to be what one of the top starts wanted to do with a new face. Over the weekend, Liv Morgan defeated Ronda Rousey at Money In The Bank to become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion. According to Rousey’s personal photographer Lazie the Savage on his Instagram stories, Rousey herself demanded that Morgan win the title, calling her the most passionate pro wrestler. The title win was the first in Morgan’s WWE career and she is likely defending the title against Rousey in a rematch at Summerslam.

His Time? WWE High On Young Star, Considering Giving Him A Push

•

Maybe he’s next. There are a lot of stars in WWE today and some of them have been in their spots for a long time. That can be quite the benefit to have as WWE knows what they have available and what works, but at some point something needs to change. Eventually you need a new crop of talent and now WWE might have its sights on someone else who could move up the ranks. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, there are some in WWE who are interested in pushing Montez Ford as a singles star. This is partially due to Ford’s new physique, which has become more prominent in recent weeks. Ford has never been a singles star on the main roster, as he has always teamed with Angelo Dawkins as the Street Profits. There is no word on if or when such a push would take place. Opinion: I don’t think there is any secret to the fact that Ford has the potential to be a top singles star sooner rather than later. He is in his early 30s, has more athletic ability than he knows what to do with and is a ball..

WATCH: Theory Wasn’t Done After Money In The Bank, Talks John Cena

He had something to say. With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster, it can be difficult to find someone who stands out. It takes something special to make it work, but every now and then you see a wrestler who is the total package and gets your attention no matter what they are doing. That is the case with a current WWE star and he had something to say after the biggest win of his career. Over the weekend, WWE held its annual Money In The Bank event with Theory winning the men’s namesake match in the main event. After the show was over, Theory took the microphone and bragged about his win, saying that you could not deny his talent as the youngest Mr. Money In The Bank ever. Theory also mentioned John Cena, who he interacted with this week on Monday Night Raw. This comes as rumors of a possible match between the two have been circulating, perhaps for WrestleMania 39. This is quite the moment for him. Check out Theory’s speech (the video was originally sideways): [This post contains vi..

NXT LVL Up Results – July 1, 2022

NXT LVL Up Date: July 1, 2022 Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Nigel McGuinness, Sudu Shah It’s the second half of the year and odds are that is not going to make the slightest bit of difference around here. This show has gotten into another funk as of late and I wonder if that is due to the NXT house show circuit starting up again. Those shows are far more valuable than this one and WWE seems to realize that. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Stacks vs. Hank Walker Tony D’Angelo is here with Stacks. This is Walker’s debut and he’s in jeans and a collared shirt. Walker takes him down into an armbar and does it again for a bonus. Back up and a knee to the ribs cuts off Stacks as we talk about something unfortunate happening to some (unnamed) member of the D’Angelo Family. A shot to the face drops Walker and we hit the neck crank but he is right back with a backslide. Walker fights out of another neck crank and takes off his shirt. Stacks kicks him d..

Details On WWE Backstage Meeting At Money In The Bank

All hands on deck. Things have been changing in a very big way as of late in WWE. The company has seen several backstage changes in all kinds of areas, but the biggest by far is Vince McMahon stepping back as Chairman of the Board and CEO. His daughter Stephanie has taken his place and the locker room got to hear from their new boss in a special meeting over the weekend. According to Fightful Select, WWE held a talent meeting before this weekend’s Money In The Bank. Stephanie, Triple H and Nick Khan appeared at the meeting, which focused on things that were already known. Stephanie reiterated that her door was always open and everything was well received. There is nothing to suggest that Vince was at the meeting, though he was in town for the show. Opinion: This isn’t the biggest surprise and it is not a bad thing. WWE is in a period of adjustment at the moment and it is a good idea to have the head of the company there to say that things are going well. Hopefully things are straight..

KB’s Review: Who Is AEW

•

Last weekend, AEW presented the first ever Forbidden Door pay per view, showing that the door is neither closed nor forbidden. The show focused on a series of matches between AEW and New Japan, meaning that the quality was very high with one good match after another. The same cannot exactly be said for the build to the show, which was choppy at best and all over the place (in a bad way) at the worst. That situation is kind of a microcosm of AEW’s entire history as a whole and that is what we are going to look at today. AEW has been around for a little over three years, with its first event taking place in May 2019. This came after All In from the previous fall, which was basically the result of a bet between the original Elite and Dave Meltzer. The whole thing then took on a life of its own and Tony Khan (and his wallet) got involved, setting the stage for the AEW we now know (at least in theory). This had a lot of fans rather excited as for the first time in a LONG time there was a ..

Take Two: WWE Planning Money In The Bank Rematch For Summerslam

Run it back? WWE runs a lot of major evens throughout the course of the year and some of them are among the biggest in all of wrestling. That is the case in the summer as well, as can be seen this year. Over the weekend WWE presented its annual Money In The Bank event, with Summerslam following only four weeks later. That means the card needs to be set, and now we might be getting ready for a rematch. At Money In The Bank, Liv Morgan cashed in her Money In The Bank briefcase to defeat Ronda Rousey and win the SmackDown Women’s Title for the first time. Following the win, Rousey congratulated Morgan and left without any incident. According to F4WOnline.com, the current plan is for Morgan to defend the title against Rousey at Summerslam in a rematch. Opinion: This is what you kind of had to expect but it has me worried in more than a few ways. The biggest problem here is that I’m not sure I can buy Morgan retaining the title over Rousey.

Israel Adesanya Comes Out To The Undertaker’s Music

Greatness recognizes greatness. Last night at UFC 276, Israel Adesanya competed in the main event. To do so, he came out in one of the greatest entrances in UFC history; using The Undertaker’s music and imagery. You can see the entrance below: [This post contains video, click to play] From ESPN: In a clinical, albeit unspectacular, performance, Israel Adesanya outpointed Jared Cannonier via unanimous decision to retain his middleweight title in the main event of UFC 276 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena. The judges scored the bout 49-46, 49-46, and 50-45. Adesanya’s superiority in striking was evident throughout the bout. Cannonier landed nothing of real significance, with Adesanya keeping him at a distance and picking his opponent apart with jabs and kicks to the body and legs. The crowd grew restless with the lack of thrilling action, especially in the fourth round, which was marked by boos and fans raising lit-up smartphones. But Cannonier did nothing to push Adesanya, a f..

New Vignette Airs During Money in the Bank 2022

Who could it be? Last night, at the Money in the Bank 2022 pay-per-view, a brand new vignette aired featuring a number of strange symbols. Included were creepy music, a cross, candles, and others.

My initial thought was that it was the return of bray Wyatt, as these types of things were what he specialized in. However, the common theory going around the Internet right now is that it is the return of edge. There were gold medals, a cross, armbands, and glasses with tape in the middle; all throwbacks to some of his previous feuds with legends over the years. The current theory is that it could be the return of his Brood character, as he comes back to face Judgment Day, who turned on him a few weeks ago. As alwa..

It’s A Little Different: WWE Announces Special Grudge Match For Summerslam
