BREAKING: Top WWE Star Reportedly Re-Signs On Multi-Year Deal

•

Stick around for a bit. The rise of AEW has changed the way the wrestling world works and in a good way. Above all else, for the first time in over twenty years, there is a viable second national promotion in the United States and that opens up a lot of doors. It allows wrestlers to have a new option, and now one big name seems to have used that leverage to his benefit. According to Fightful Select, Kevin Owens has signed a new multi-year deal with WWE. This comes as Owens’ contract was set to expire in January, which had been alluded to on WWE TV. WWE reportedly made him an “excellent offer” to stay around and are said to be very happy that he is staying. Owens is currently scheduled to take part in the fatal four way for the WWE Title at Day One on January 1. Owens has had quite the run with WWE.

KB’s Review: She’s ALMOST Done

•

It’s time for your weekly reminder that WWE isn’t doing very well at the moment. The problems have been going on so long at the moment that it can be a little difficult to keep up interest, but every now and then you see something that draws you back in. Unfortunately that seems to be a waste of time more often than not, as WWE is going to manage to screw things up one way or another. This week, we’re taking a look at one such case, and how it might be getting even worse. Back in June, Nikki Cross debuted a new character, which would eventually be dubbed Nikki Ash: Almost a Superhero. Ash would go on to win the Money in the Bank briefcase, cash it in on Charlotte, and win the Women’s Title in a nice moment. Then Charlotte won it back about a month later because Charlotte, so Ash went on to win the Women’s Tag Team Titles with Rhea Ripley and promptly did nothing with them, leading to losing the titles and a losing streak that has (at least as of when I’m writing this part) most recent..

VIDEO: Hardys Reunion Following Jeff Hardy’s WWE Release

•

Welcome back? There are various wrestling families who get your attention no matter what they are doing. That can make for some good and bad moments, as you almost don’t know what you re going to get from time to time. In this case, a pair of wrestling brothers are back again, though in this case it comes after an incident that was not the greatest sight to behold. Last week, WWE officially released Jeff Hardy from his contract following an incident at a live event earlier in the month. Hardy was released after walking out on a match and refusing to go to rehab. Since his release, Hardy has appeared on his brother Matt’s YouTube channel in a pair of videos. In the first video, Matt discusses being the architect of the Hardy Boys team. Jeff appeared behind him, saying that he had been listening to Release Me by Wilson Phillips. In the second video, the Hardys promote some of Jeff’s upcoming concert dates. Jeff will be under a no compete clause in wrestling until March. It was a surpri..

Former WWE Tag Team Champions Tease Reunion, FTR Responds

•

Do it again? Tag teams have a weird history in WWE as the company has not exactly treated them as a top priority. There have been times when the division feels completely worthless, but there have also been instances where the tag team scene is flourishing. Next year, we might be seeing one of those popular WWE teams making a comeback outside of the company. Former WWE star Scotty 2 Hotty has posted a photo to Twitter, showing himself reuniting with Rikishi. The tweet said “Ready for 2022”, which could suggest a reunion between the two for next year. The team are former WWE Tag Tag Team Champions under the name Too Cool. AEW’s Cash Wheeler responded to the tweet, saying that FTR will roll up to Too Cool as well. Hotty was released from his WWE contract earlier this year as per his request. So, this happened today!

Multiple Injuries Take Place During This Week’s NXT

•

Those are some nasty situations. There are a lot of ways to write someone out of action on a wrestling show and some of them are more effective than others. Perhaps the most effective is to have someone get injured, as not only does it get someone off of television, but it also puts heat on the person who did it. This week, that was the case in two different situations. There were two wrestlers written off of NXT television this week due to injuries. First up, Cora Jade was attacked by Mandy Rose following Jade’s win over Dakota Kai. Rose re-injured Jade’s arm, resulting in undisclosed injuries. Also during the show, Harland made his in-ring debut and after the match, attacked various agents and referees. This included agent Brian Kendrick, who suffered a possible cervical fracture. There is no word on when either will return. It was a brutal night.

Ouch: Liv Morgan Injured On Monday Night Raw

•

That could slow her down. Every now and then you see a star catch fire and turn into one of the bigger stories on any given show. It works very well if a wrestler can capture the audience’s attention and see how far things can go. That is the case on Monday Night Raw, but now things might be slowed down a little bit due to a pretty badly timed injury to a rising star. This week’s Monday Night Raw featured a showdown between Liv Morgan and Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch. Morgan had been cheated out of her title shot the previous week and wanted a rematch. Before accepting, Lynch attacked Morgan, including crushing her arm against the ring steps. During Raw Talk, Morgan was announced as having suffered a deep bone bruise and a strained radial collateral ligament in her left arm. She is still expected to challenge Lynch at Day One on January 1. As revealed on #RAWTalk, @YaOnlyLivvOnce has a deep bone bruise and a strained radial collateral ligament in her left arm.#WWERaw pic.twitter...

AEW President Tony Khan Takes Harsh Shot At WWE

•

He doesn’t seem to agree. The wrestling world has been changed in a lot of ways in recent years, with nothing shaking it up more than the rise of AEW. After so many years of WWE holding a monopoly over the entire industry, AEW has come along and become the other big player. A lot of that is due to AEW President Tony Khan, who has something to say about the way WWE presents its television. Khan made an appearance on a recent edition of the Wrestling Perspective Podcast, where he spoke on the amount of rematches that took place in both AEW and other promotions. Khan mentioned that shows outside of AEW have “like 17 rematches with the same two people.” Since AEW’s debut, Khan has mentioned that his company does not like to present multiple rematches between the same wrestlers. Khan does have a point in some cases.

Update On Scarlett Bordeaux and Karrion Kross’ Futures In Wrestling

•

I guess that’s not happening. There have been all kinds of moves in the wrestling world over the last few years and some of the biggest have come from the long list of WWE releases. Some of these have been a lot more surprising than others, with many leading to the question of where this person goes next. That is the case with a pair of released wrestlers, but now we know where they will not be going. During a recent video signing with K & S WrestleFest, Scarlett Bordeaux was asked if she and her fiance Karrion Kross would return to Impact Wrestling. Bordeaux flat out said “We’re not going back there. We are not going back there. No.” Bordeaux and Kross wrestled together in Impact Wrestling from 2018-2019 before heading to NXT. Both were released from WWE earlier this year. Leave the memories alone.

AEW Star Out Of Action With Injury, Already Missing For Months

•

That could change things. Injuries are never good to see in the wrestling world as they can shake up the status quo in a hurry. That is never a positive thing and then it becomes more about waiting to see just how bad things are. It seems that is the case again now, as an AEW star in injured. Unfortunately, it is the kind of injury that could keep more than one person out of action. According to Fightful Select, AEW’s Marq Quen is out with an injury, which has kept him out of action since the October 11 edition of Dark: Elevation. It is not clear when the injury took place or what kind of an injury Quen has. With Quen on the shelf, his regular Private Party tag partner Isaiah Kassidy has been wrestling with him, often as part of the Hardy Family Office. There is no word on when Quen will be able to return to the ring. Private Party is a heck of a team when Quen is available.

NXT Date: December 14, 2021 Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Wade Barrett, Vic Joseph It’s another new era as Johnny Gargano and Kyle O’Reilly are both gone, at least for the time being. That means we might be in for some new names, but ultimately that might not be the best thing. Some of the new generation has done well, but there are more than a few who haven’t been the most thrilling. Let’s get to it. We open with a recap of Grayson Waller attacking Johnny Gargano to end last week’s show. Waller arrives and gets booed by a bunch of fans, so he films a bit of the reaction. We recap Cameron Grimes vs. Duke Hudson. Grimes has beaten Hudson in poker and a match, including cutting off some of Hudson’s hair. Tonight is the final fight, no holds barred.

Tommaso Ciampa Announces Very Cool NXT Auction For Charity

•

It’s for a good cause. Wrestling is a business and ultimately that means trying to make fans give up their money. That can be easier said than done, but there are times that make fans want to hand it over as fast as they can. It might be for a ticket, a new shirt, or getting to watch a show at home. This time though, some wrestlers are trying to get fans to pay for something for a better cause. NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa has announced that NXT will be auctioning off ten event used items from last week’s WarGames event. All proceeds will be donated to the United For Waukesha Community Fund, following the car attack during the Waukesha, Wisconsin Christmas parade. To bid on the autographed items, go to Ebay.com and search “We are NXT Waukesha”. My wife was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. It’s where we bought our first home and started our family with Willow.

WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Star Likely Getting Name Change

•

Back to the old. A name is one of the most important parts of a wrestler’s overall persona as it tells the people a lot about what they are seeing. The wrong name can cause a lot of problems for a wrestler but thankfully there are ways to fix the problem. WWE has a lot of fixing to do and for once it seems like they are actually going to do something about one of their problems. According to Wrestlingnews.co, WWE has filed a trademark on the name “Piper Niven”, which is the former name of current Monday Night Raw star Doudrop. During Doudrop’s debut earlier this year, Eva Marie said she did not want to hear her name and dubbed her Doudrop instead. The name has stuck, even after Eva Marie’s departure from WWE. There has been no mention of the Niven name so far on Monday Night Raw. Doudrop has been a force during her time on Monday Night Raw.

WATCH: Future WWE Star Makes Monday Night Raw Appearance

He’s a special guest star. All wrestlers are athletes, but there is always a certain stigma about their athletic status. As a result, WWE often tries to tie themselves to more mainstream athletics whenever they can. It can be even better when a “real” athlete joins the promotion, and one such athlete was on hand this week in something of a special preview. Olympic Gold Medal winning wrestler and WWE signee Gable Steveson was in attendance for this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw. Steveson sat in the front row and was greeted by Bobby Lashley during the show. Steveson is signed to a name, image and likeness contract with WWE and is expected to join the company following the end of the college wrestling season as he tries to defend his NCAA wrestling title. Back in October, Steveson was drafted to Monday Night Raw. Steveson has been around a bit before.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between.

PHOTOS: WWE Monday Night Raw Attendance Is Rather Pitiful

•

That’s a bad look. To say that WWE has had some issues maintaining their audience in recent years would be a huge understatement. WWE has made various decisions that have alienated more than a few fans and the results seem to be mounting up. This can be seen both in the number of fans watching at home, and now the ones watching from inside the arena. This week’s Monday Night Raw was held at the Xcel Energy Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota. Photos from the event have made their way online, showing most of the hard camera side of the arena empty, with the majority of the seats tarped over. The photos are from early in the night, including the Main Event taping before Monday Night Raw and the opening segment of the show. I've never seen @WWE this bad.

WATCH: Becky Lynch Blames A Fan For Loss (And It’s Awesome)

Someone has to be to blame. Wrestlers have a complicated relationship with their fans. While they want to make fans happy, there are wrestlers whose job it is to make them angry enough to pay to see the wrestler get beaten up. These wrestlers have their work cut out for them, but one of them did so well at her job last week that she knew exactly who to blame. Last week’s post SmackDown dark match saw Sasha Banks defeat Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Bianca Belair in a fatal four way when Banks pinned Lynch. Following the match, Lynch yelled at a young fan in the front row, blaming her distractions for the loss. Lynch also said that the next time she was in town, it would he her against the fan. Later, Lynch responded to a tweet about the interaction, saying she was petitioning to have the fan banned from all future WWE events.

LOOK (With Caution): Wrestler Stabs Referee, Police Get Involved

It could have been worse. A lot of things happen in the wrestling world every day and some of them are a lot more serious than others. Unfortunately there are going to be a few things that are absolutely horrible and serious, including those involving someone’s health. That was the case with a recent incident, and now fans are being asked to help with the situation. Over the weekend, a referee was stabbed by a wrestler during the World Class Revolution “Christmas Star Wars” event in Irving, Texas. The match’s original plan did call for the wrestler, Devon Nicholson, to attack the referee, Lando Deltoro, but the situation went further than planned. According to fellow referee Colby Cowperwaithe (who was at the event but not the attacked referee) via Reddit, Deltoro was supposed to cut himself, but his blade did not work. Instead, Nicholson cut Deltoro but went far too deep and cut Deltoro’s artery. Cowperwaithe also believes that Nicholson was intoxicated during the match. In addition..

WWE Title Match Gets Shaken Up With New Challenger

Make another seat. There are all kinds of titles around the wrestling world but very few mean as many as the WWE Title. It is the signature title of the biggest wrestling company in the world and that is going to get some special attention no matter what. Winning the title means quite a bit, and now another wrestler is going to be getting his chance at winning the title. This week on Monday Night Raw, Bobby Lashley was officially added to the WWE Title match at Day One. The match had previously included WWE Champion Big E., Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens. Lashley wanted to be added to the match, so WWE executives Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville agreed, but only if Lashley could defeat all three. Later in the night, Lashley defeated Owens by submission and Rollins and Big E. by pinfall, earning his spot in the match. Day One takes place on January 1. It was a busy night for Lashley.

Huge Title Rematch Added To WWE Day One Card

Take two. We are less than three weeks away from WWE Day One and the card is starting to come together. With so little time left before the show, it is time to start hammering down all of the details, including adding some of the title matches. That was the case this week, as a pretty big rematch was officially set for the card, albeit only after the challenger got taken out. Last week on Monday Night Raw, Becky Lynch cheated to retain the Raw Women’s Title over Liv Morgan. This week, Morgan challenged Lynch to a rematch at Day One, knowing that Lynch needed to cheat to beat her. Lynch did not immediately accept the challenge, instead getting in a brawl with Morgan first. The fight would head outside, where Morgan’s arm was stomped against the steps several times. Lynch would then accept the match. It was a busy night.

That’s why it is imperative to have Lashley added to the Day One WWE Title match, because that’s a great way to start the year. Cue Kevin Owens to say he hasn’t been disrespecting the two of them because he hasn’t been paying attention to anything..
