Shane McMahon Has Gotten A New Job

•

That’s something new. Vince McMahon has a long history of success in wrestling, but things have not gone so well outside of the industry. McMahon has tried various other endeavors which had little or nothing to do with wrestling without much success. This includes the XFL, the other XFL, the World Bodybuilding Federation, WWE Studios and a minor league hockey team among others. It might be better for McMahon to stick to wrestling, but what about his son? Shane McMahon has been named the Executive Chairman of Ideanomics, a company involved in the electric vehicle and hydrogen fuel cell industry. Shane has been a part of the company since 2010 and is a former Vice Chairman. The company, formerly known as YOU On Demand, has begun to shift into a different industry with Shane being part of the change. There is nothing to suggest that this will impact Shane’s occasional WWE appearances. Shane does have certain other skills. Check out what he can do in wrestling: [This post contains video..

VIDEO: Two Former NXT Stars Are Coming To AEW This Week

•

Their new home? The last year and a half has seen more shakeups and changes to the WWE roster than has been seen in a very long time. Wrestlers have been coming and going from the company, with dozens being released. It was clear that some of them were going to wind up heading somewhere else, and now two of them have made their debut for another promotion. Former NXT stars Jeff Parker and Matt Lee, have been announced for this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite. The team (better known as Chase Parker and Matt Martel as Ever-Rise in NXT) will be known as 2.0 and will team with Daniel Garcia to face Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston and Darby Allin in a six man tag. The two were released from their WWE contracts on June 25 along with several others. This should be a fun one.

Ring Of Honor TV Results – July 21, 2021

•

Ring of Honor Date: July 28, 2021 Location: UMBC Event Center, Baltimore, Maryland Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman These shows run together pretty badly most weeks, but I’m kind of looking forward to watching it most weeks. It feels like a show where you know you’re going to get something at least pretty good, putting it ahead of most these days. Coming in with low expectations and leaving happy is not a bad thing so maybe the can continue their streak here. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. We recap Mandy Leon cheating to beat Quinn McKay last week, with an assist from Angelina Love. The Allure laughs off the idea that McKay was a challenge and that’s it for her. Quinn McKay keeps the welcome short this week because she got hit in the head with brass knuckles. The only thing more painful than that is knowing her chances to be Women’s Champion are gone. We get the show rundown as usual. Flip Gordon vs. World Famous CB Before the match, Gordon says he has nothing to ..

Adam Cole’s Undisputed WWE Era Coming To An End?

•

Adam Cole is the latest in a long line of WWE stars who is rumored to be heading to another company. The former NXT champion has been plying his craft on WWE’s black and gold brand since 2017. During that time, he’s become a cornerstone of the brand. But like many others before him, Cole could find new life outside of Vince McMahon’s company. However while fans begin to debate the pros and cons of such a departure, the question is could Adam Cole remain right were he is? Fans have been down this road many times over the past year. Every time WWE releases a batch of talent, the rush is on to predict what will happen next. Much of that speculation usually includes All Elite Wrestling, which has been the destination for many stars post-WWE.

NXT Live Coverage And Results – August 3, 2021

•

NXT Date: August 3, 2021 Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Wade Barrett, Vic Joseph, Beth Phoenix. We are less than three weeks away from Takeover and after last week, we have a new main event for the show as Samoa Joe will challenge Karrion Kross for the NXT Title. Granted Kross might not mean as much after how things have gone on Monday Night Raw, I’m not sure how much that is going to be worth. Other than that, more things will be happening. Let’s get to it. Opening recap. Legado del Fantasma vs. Hit Row Santos Escobar and the rest of Hit Row is at ringside. It’s a brawl to start with Legado being knocked outside until Mendoza and Adonis slug it out inside. A whip into the corner takes Mendoza down and a neckbreaker makes it worse. Top Dolla comes in to throw people around, including running both of them over. Hold on though as Escobar gets up for a distraction, allowing Mendoza to low bridge Adonis to the floor. We take a break and come back wit..

Main Event Results – July 29, 2021

Main Event Date: July 29, 2021 Location: T-Mobile Center, Kansas City, Missouri Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Byron Saxton The fans are back, but unfortunately it seems that the changes that had been taken place around here are not. Last week felt a lot like the Main Event days of old, which is far from exciting news. Normally I would say that I’m not surprised, but I really can’t say I am with this show. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Jaxson Ryker vs. Drew Gulak Ryker powers him into the corner to start so Gulak does it to him as well. Gulak’s slap to the face doesn’t seem to be the best idea as Ryker is back with a spinning slam. We hit the armbar on Gulak as we hear about Ryker’s military career again. Gulak switches into a cravate to hold Ryker down and it’s off to a cross arm choke. Ryker powers up into some ax handles to the chest and a release slingshot suplex drops Gulak again. The swinging Boss Man Slam finishes Gulak at 5:17. Result: Jaxson Ryker b. Drew Gulak – Swingi..

WATCH: nWo Invitational Battle Royal From WCW Road Wild 1998

Well, that happened. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel in which they show the full nWo Invitational Battle Royal match from WCW Road Wild 1998. The match featured Goldberg, Scott Hall, Curt Hennig, The Giant, Scott Norton, Sting, Lex Luger, Kevin Nash, and Konnan. You can see the match in its entirety below: [This post contains video, click to play] From our own Thomas Hall: You can be eliminated either over the top or by pin/submission. Hall interrupts the ridiculously long entrances with the survey to keep this show going even longer. The NWO factions brawl while Goldberg hides in the corner. That lasts about fifteen seconds before Goldberg goes after Giant, which should have been a regular match tonight in the first place. Again that doesn’t last long and the match breaks down into a regular battle royal. Hall loads up the Outsiders’ Edge on Goldberg but gets backdropped out. Nash eliminates himself (you can’t make up jokes like this) and goes after Hall as Gol..

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over twelve years now and have reviewed over 6,000 shows. 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.

VIDEO: Cool Moment Takes Place After Monday Night Raw

That’s pretty cool. There have been a lot of changes to WWE over the last few months but the most important is the return of live fans to the company’s events. For the first time in far too long, WWE has people watching them and that is the kind of change that can make a lot of improvements for the company. Now we are getting back to normal and that meant something special. WWE has posted a video to its YouTube page showing what happened after this week’s Monday Night Raw went off the air. Following Nikki Ash defeating Charlotte to end Monday Night Raw, Ash went into the crowd to celebrate. New Day then came to the ring for the show’s dark match main event, but first danced with Ash in the ring. According to PWInsider.com, New Day defeated MVP and Bobby Lashley in the dark match.

WATCH: Nia Jax Badly Busted Open During Monday Night Raw

Ouch. Wrestling is a physical sport and that can cause problems every now and then. You can see all kinds of injuries take place in wrestling at any time and they can come in a few different ways. Some of them are going to be a lot more obvious than others and you can tell what happens almost immediately. That was the case this week and it was a pretty nasty incident. Nia Jax was cut open during this week’s edition of Monday Night Raw. During a match with Rhea Ripley, Jax was elbowed in the face next to her left eye, drawing blood. The bleeding got worse throughout the match, ultimately causing the entire side of her face to be nearly covered in blood. Jax was able to finish the match, with Ripley winning and attacking Jax again after the match was over. There is nothing to suggest that Jax will miss any time. It was a nasty cut.

VIDEO: WWE And AEW Star Get Together In Unique Situation

•

When worlds collide. The wrestling world has changed quite a bit thanks to the rise of AEW. The new promotion has shaken up the industry by adding a new place for all kinds of wrestlers to showcase themselves. That has not been the case for a very long time now and several wrestlers have already jumped over to the new place. A wrestler from both companies came together for a pretty unique moment. WWE’s John Cena and AEW’s Miro were both in attendance for the premiere of The Suicide Squad. Cena, a co-star of the movie, appeared in the full costume of his Peacekeeper character, hugged Miro and introduced him to his wife. The two chatted for a few moments about something that could not be heard. Cena returned to WWE last month at Money in the Bank and Miro, the reigning AEW TNT Champion, debuted with the company in September 2020. Miro and Cena had a long feud in WWE, with Miro defeating Cena in a United States Title match at Fastlane 2015. Cena came back to win the rematch at WrestleMa..

Huge Title Match Set For WWE Summerslam

There’s your other big one. We are less than a month away from Summerslam and the top of the card is starting to come together. The show is going to be one of the biggest shows of the year, if not the biggest of them all. As a result, WWE is going to want to load the card up like no other. They took another big step towards doing just that this week on Monday Night Raw. During this week’s Monday Night Raw, WWE Champion Bobby Lashley accepted Goldberg’s challenge for a title match at Summerslam. Lashley had ignored the challenge in previous weeks and did so again this week. After Goldberg left the ring, Lashley’s manager MVP yelled at Goldberg’s son. As a result, Goldberg speared MVP, which caused Lashley to accept the challenge. This will be Goldberg’s second shot at the title this year, as well as his second match of the year, as he unsuccessfully challenged Drew McIntyre for the title at the Royal Rumble. Goldberg is a four time World Champion, including three reigns in WWE. His mo..

Another Long Term Name Quietly Leaves WWE

One more for the road. The WWE roster has been changing all over the place in recent months and there is nothing to suggest that all of the moves are done. These changes have made for some very interesting shifts, including some names finally being let go after years with the company. There are some who were surprises for another reason, such as fans realizing they still worked for WWE. We seem to have another case like that. According to PWInsider.com, JoJo Offerman quietly left WWE several months ago. Offerman was brought in for the first season of Total Divas but mainly worked as a ring announcer. She did wrestle a handful of matches, most prominently teaming with the other Total Divas to defeat the True Divas at Survivor Series 2013. Offerman has been in a relationship with Bray Wyatt for several years, giving birth to a son and a daughter in the process. You might have forgotten her.

Bray Wyatt: Heading To Another Company, Or Heading Home?

•

Bray Wyatt’s WWE release came as a shock to many pro wrestling fans. While those same fans are obviously very aware of the company’s penchant for talent releases, this one was different. The reason for that is due to the man behind the character. Windham Rotunda brought the Bray Wyatt persona to life in 2012 and when he did, he completely changed the game. His dedication to the character, combined with his unmatched creativity, ensures that he will find his way moving forward. But what is Rotunda moving toward? That’s currently the question that many are asking and with good reason. The most logical answer seems to be AEW. After all, Tony Khan’s company appears to be a great place for Rotunda, both from a financial and creative standpoint as well.

Grayson Waller vs. Ikemen Jiro The watermelon jacket is back this week. Waller actually shakes hands but then begs off as the fans chant for the jacket. Some knees to the ribs and a shoulder put Jiro down but he’s right back with a running hurricanrana. Waller is knocked outside so Jiro joins him only to be dropped…face first on the floor, though I think Waller was aiming for the apron.

Update On Becky Lynch’s WWE Return

Mark your calendars. There are certain names in WWE who are bigger stars than others. Sometimes you can see their star power rising and then get to see them realize their potential. That can make for some very special moments and WWE has certainly had their run of them over the years. Now we might be getting ready for the return of one of the better ones.

Another Famous Name Gone From WWE
