Hold Your Horses. Rumor Killer On Possible WrestleMania Ending.

Not so fast? Earlier this week, the SmackDown women’s division, the SmackDown Women’s Title and the main event of WrestleMania 35 (for the Raw Women’s Title) all took a major turn when Charlotte defeated Asuka for the SmackDown Women’s Title. It’s not clear what this is going to mean yet for WrestleMania, but one rumored event seems to not be the case anymore. According to Dave Meltzer on F4WOnline.com by way of 411mania.com, there is no truth to the rumor that WWE is planning to have the Four Horsewomen of NXT pose to end the show. The four (Bayley, Sasha Banks, Charlotte and Becky Lynch) could all leave the show with titles, though there are currently no plans to have them recreate their pose from Takeover: Brooklyn in 2015. However, Meltzer does mention that Vince McMahon could change his mind all over again. So this isn’t happening. Check out the original pose: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: This is a rather big relief as there was almost reason to have thi..

What Were The Original Plans For Kevin Owens’ Return And What Is Next For Him? The Answers Might Surprise You.

You mean they didn’t think it through? Remember last month when Kevin Owens returned to WWE and had a pay per view title match? Remember that match being awesome? Now do you remember Owens doing anything other than hosting an episode of the Kevin Owens Show since then? It’s almost like Owens was brought back up too soon and it’s become a problem. So what has been going on? According to Mike Johnson on PW Insider Elite Audio, the original plans were to bring Owens back up on either the Monday Night Raw or SmackDown Live after WrestleMania 35. This obviously did not happen and Owens was brought back to television in a hurry with no plans for him. At the moment, Owens has nothing scheduled for WrestleMania and has only wrestled in a tag match since his title match at Fastlane. Owens certainly hasn’t lost a step. Check out him talking as only he can: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: This is modern WWE as only they can make it happen. You have an outstanding talent li..

Main Event Results – March 28, 2019

Main Event Date: March 28, 2019 Location: TD Garden, Boston, Massachusetts Commentators: Percy Watson, Byron Saxton, Renee Young We’re long since in the home stretch towards Wrestlemania and that means we have a lot of recapping to do. I’m not sure what the point is in having these original matches when there is more stuff that could be done, but why mess with what….well I guess it’s worked somewhat over the rest of the year. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. EC3 vs. Tyler Breeze Breeze has gotten a haircut and hits a dropkick into an early chinlock. That’s reversed into a seated full nelson which is reversed with a jawbreaker as Renee seems to approve of EC3’s physique. There’s the EC3 Elbow but a powerbomb is countered into a superkick for two. Breeze’s hurricanrana gets the same but it’s the 1%er for the pin on Breeze at 4:48. Result: EC3 b. Tyler Breeze – 1%er (4:48) We look at the announcement of the Raw Women’s Title match main eventing Wrestlemania. From Smackdown. Smack..

Impact Wrestling Results – March 29, 2019

Impact Wrestling Date: March 29, 2019 Location: Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall, Las Vegas, Nevada Commentators: Don Callis, Josh Matthews We’re still in Las Vegas and on the way to the both United We Stand and Rebellion, meaning it’s hard to say what we’re going to be seeing in the next few weeks. I’m hoping we get something fresh in the main event again like last week, as a break from the seemingly never ending World Title story was a welcome change of pace. Let’s get to it. Opening recap and preview, this time with narration for a change. Opening sequence. Here are LAX and the Lucha Bros for an unsanctioned fight, meaning the Tag Team Titles aren’t on the lines. The fight is on in a hurry with a worried Konnan watching from ringside. Security is out in a hurry and the fans want to seem them fight. The Bros superkick security and manage to sneak up on LAX with a pair of chair shots. Now it’s table time but LAX gets up with a pair of spinebusters to put them through the tables in..

Here’s What Was Originally Planned For Dean Ambrose At WrestleMania 35

Who else was on the Lunatic Fringe? One of the most interesting stories of the year so far has been the contract status of Dean Ambrose. WWE announced that he would be leaving the company in April and has gone so far as to pull him from future house shows. Before Ambrose decided to try his hand elsewhere, something was in the works for him and it turns out that it was going to be a big deal. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Ambrose was scheduled to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 35 in what was likely to be a match for the Universal Title. The plans were changed back in October when Reigns announced that he was suffering from leukemia, meaning that any plans were thrown out the window. Since then, Ambrose decided to not re-sign with the company and he currently is not scheduled for a WrestleMania match. They’ve headlined a show for a title before. Check out Ambrose vs. Reigns from Survivor Series 2015: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: this isn’t ..

Go For The Purple And Orange. Former NXT Champion May Be Heading For 205 Live.

Say it isn’t so. Earlier this year, four NXT names made surprising debuts on the main roster, changing the direction of Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live and NXT. Suddenly there was fresh talent on the main roster and a bunch of names moving up from the developmental show. Ricochet and Aleister Black have thrived and Tommaso Ciampa is injured, though WWE might have plans for Johnny Gargano. According to Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer Live, WWE is considering moving Gargano to the 205 Live roster due to Ciampa’s injury ending the chance of Gargano teaming with him for the time being. Gargano is currently still working regularly in NXT, where he will be facing Adam Cole for the NXT Title at Takeover: New York. There is no word on when Gargano could move to 205 Live. Here’s what Gargano can do on the main roster. Check out one of his matches from Monday Night Raw: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: I really, really hope this isn’t the case. Gargano has proven that..

You Could See Him. John Cena’s WrestleMania 35 Match May Be Set.

The picture gets a little more clear. With most of the WrestleMania 35 card already set, there are only a few holes that still need to be filled in. One of them is quite the question mark as we wait to see if John Cena will be making an appearance. Cena is currently filming a movie but there is a strong chance that he can be at the show. If he is, WWE already has a match planned for him. According to Dave Meltzer on F4WOnline.com, Cena has an offer on the table to face Elias at WrestleMania and is likely to accept it. While no opponent is listed, it is said to NOT be Kurt Angle, who is scheduled to be facing Baron Corbin at the show. Cena has not wrestled on WWE TV since the January 14 episode of Monday Night Raw. He has been rumored for an appearance on the show in several different spots. Maybe it can go better than last year, which wasn’t Cena’s night. Check out Cena vs. the Undertaker in a surprising match: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: Cena appearing at W..

The Process Of Elimination. The Addition Of Several Names To A Battle Royal Suggests Matches Being Left Off WrestleMania.

You have to fill in the ranks somehow. With less than two weeks to go before WrestleMania 35, two of the matches that are in need of some more details are the battle royals, which could combine for nearly fifty names making it onto the show. While it’s interesting to see who is included in the field, the rosters can also show you what might not be taking place on the show, which may be the case here. WWE.com has revealed a list of twenty six more names for the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, bringing the total number of entrants to twenty nine, along with the already entered Michael Che, Colin Jost and Braun Strowman. The additional names (listed below) include Chad Gable, Bobby Roode and the Hardys. This would heavily suggest (though not guarantee) that these four will not be involved in a Tag Team Title match on the show. With these names announced, there is a strong possibility of no SmackDown Tag Team Title match and a somewhat less likely chance of a Raw Tag Team Title mat..

Ring Of Honor TV Results – March 27, 2019

Ring of Honor Date: March 27, 2019 Location: RP Funding Center, Lakeland, Florida Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Colt Cabana The post-Anniversary Show shows continue here and that means another one off night that may or may not mean anything. There’s always the chance that none of this goes anywhere, which can be rather tiresome. At the same time though, there is a real chance of getting something very nice out of these shows. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Dalton Castle/The Boys vs. Lifeblood Bandido/Tracy Williams/Juice Robinson with Tenille Dashwood for Lifeblood here. Castle sends Robinson to the floor for the strut to start, only to have Robinson throw him to the floor for a strut of his own. Another exchange of tosses to the floor is capped off by Castle being sent over the top but he comes back in for another strut off. It’s off to Williams instead, with the Boys making some rather weird noises to suggest that they want in. Boy #2 comes in for a chop but has to bring in #1..

Official May Not Mean Official. Just Who Is Hosting WrestleMania 35?

Just in case the card isn’t packed enough. I don’t think it’s any secret to say that WrestleMania 35 is going to be one of the longest wrestling shows of all time. With a possible seventeen matches being included on the card, things are already going to be long but that’s not all. There will also be bonus segments, including some involving the official host. But who is that host? Earlier this month, Alexa Bliss was announced as the official host of WrestleMania 35. However, on Sunday Carmella sent out a Tweet saying that she and R-Truth should host the show, setting off an argument between her and Bliss. R-Truth got involved also, tweeting out a video saying that he and Carmella would be hosting the show, but that Bliss could do something as well, if certain conditions were met. Here is the Twitter exchange, plus R-Truth’s response. Serious question y’all..who should be the host of @WrestleMania?! ? — MELLA I$ MONEY (@CarmellaWWE) March 24, 2019 Haha aw this is cute . But Maybe the..

Is WWE Interested In Bringing Back Alberto Del Rio?

That’s a big no. Alberto Del Rio is one of the more polarizing names in modern wrestling. There is no denying the fact that he’s a very good in-ring performer, but he’s not the most popular guy in the world and has had controversy follow him for a long time now. It’s fairly clear that his in-ring career is winding down, but there’s always the chance of one more run. Is WWE interested? Del Rio recently spoke with Superluchas.com and said that he was interested in a return to WWE. However, according to Fightful.com, WWE has absolutely no interest in bringing Del Rio back to the company. Del Rio reportedly rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and didn’t make things any better when he no showed last year’s Lucha Underground vs. Impact Wrestling event over WrestleMania weekend. Del Rio last wrestled for on the August 16, 2016, SmackDown Live. Del Rio did have his moments. Check out one of his better attacks on Big Show: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: Good. I haven’t..

They’re Reviving Something. The Revival Just Brought Something Out Of Mothballs.

One more for the wrestling historian. The Revival won the Raw Tag Team Titles a little over a month ago and haven’t exactly done much with them. The idea that the Revival is going to bring some sweeping change to the division has long since been forgotten as they’re barely ever able to work the style of match that made them such successes in the first place. However, they did do one thing right. On Saturday night in Amherst, Massachusetts, the Revival wore the classic design for the Tag Team Titles in a title defense. These belts were used from 1985-2002 and were replaced around the time that the company switched over from WWF to WWE. There is no indication that the classic designs will be made permanent, though such a move was made when Cody Rhodes reintroduced the classic Intercontinental Title. Not saying we're the best, but til they find something better we're here, no fear, write me a letter, til then… Tonight, there’s money to be made at #WWEAmherst. #FTR pic.twitter..

Video Debate: Which Match Should Main Event WrestleMania 35?

There are multiple sides to everything. We’re coming up on WrestleMania 35 and there’s a clear cut main event….in theory. For months, it has been assumed that the Raw Women’s Title match will close the show, but WWE has referred to multiple matches as the main event, leaving some doubt to the answer. WWE knows this and is managing to debate itself on the issue. Which one do you have? Check out a rather fun debate: [This post contains video, click to play] WWE has released a new video in their Head To Head series looking at which match should main event WrestleMania. The video is presented in a debate style between two people, with one arguing for the Raw Women’s Title match (Becky Lynch and Charlotte challenging champion Ronda Rousey) main eventing the show while the other backs the Universal Title match (Brock Lesnar defending against Seth Rollins). The debate is rather lighthearted and humorous, with arguments from both sides. Opinion: I would really hope that WWE does the right..

Video: Watch Jerry Lawler Dance With Rikishi In A Very Nice Tribute To Brian Christopher

Keeping it in the family. Last year, Brian Christopher, better known as Grandmaster Sexay, passed away at the age of forty six. Christopher was a fairly successful wrestler over his career with his highest level of fame coming as part of the team Too Cool, also including Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi. Their dance act was rather popular, and that popularity continues to this day and this weekend in particular. On Saturday night, Christopher’s father Jerry Lawler and former partner Rikishi appeared at a Memphis Grizzlies game for part of their Grind City Wrestling night. Rikishi and Lawler performed the Too Cool dance on the court, with Lawler performing Christopher’s part. Before the dance, Rikishi talked about how Christopher was his friend and Lawler said it would be an honor to take his son’s part. There were other wrestlers in attendance for the evening as well, including the Steiner Brothers and Buff Bagwell. These are some kind words. Check out Rikishi’s speech: [This post contain..

We Missed The Last Dance. A WWE Tag Team May Be Done With Little Fanfare.

Well they were nice while they lasted. It’s hard to say where things are going to go in the WWE. You might see a person go from a singles wrestler to a tag wrestler to being a manager or almost all points in between. It’s the nature of the business and sometimes someone is a great fit in one area but not so much in the others. At the moment, something that seemed successful might have come to an end. According to Tyler Breeze via Twitter, his team with Fandango, collectively known as Breezango, may be finished. Breeze was asked on Twitter to name a tag team that didn’t get enough love. Breeze responded “Breezan…never mind”, suggesting that the team is no more. Fandango has been recovering from an injury and has yet to make his return to TV. It is currently not known when he will be back or what he will be doing upon return. Breezan….. never mind ? https://t.co/s8hKV9N5ut — Prince Pretty (@MmmGorgeous) March 23, 2019 These guys can look like stars. Check out their appearance on 205 ..

Video: Kenny Omega And The Young Bucks Announce The Location For All In 2

It worked well enough the first time. Last year, a show called All In was announced and eventually turned into the biggest independent wrestling show of all time. From that show came AEW, which has the potential to take the wrestling world by storm. All In was a huge deal by itself, and since the first one worked so well, it was pretty clear that we would be seeing it again. And now we know where. Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks appeared at the C2E2 convention in Chicago over the weekend and announced that All In 2 would be taking place in Chicago at the Sears Center, the location of the first All In show. There was no other information given, including a date for the show. The first AEW show is Double Or Nothing, scheduled for May 25 of this year in Las Vegas. Here’s the full panel. Check out the announcement plus a lot more: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: You can’t blame them for this one as it’s a city where they had a lot of success in the first place.

Impact Wrestling Results – March 22, 2019

Impact Wrestling Date: March 22, 2019 Location: Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall, Las Vegas, Nevada Commentators: Don Callis, Josh Matthews It’s title time as Rich Swann defends the X-Division Title against Sami Callihan, who is ticked off over Swann turning down the chance to join OVE. Other than that we’re likely to get some fallout from Johnny Impact turning heel last week, which is probably best for everyone. Let’s get to it. The opening recap looks at everything going on around here, including Moose beating up the Rascalz, Jordynne Grace becoming #1 contender and the World Title situation. Opening sequence. Moose vs. Trey Miguel Fallout from the Rascalz making fun of their clothes and not getting anywhere with Melissa Santos. Miguel goes for the legs to start and actually pulls off a hurricanrana. Moose gets sent to the floor a few times but a suicide dive won’t even put him off his feet. The second attempt is countered into a release apron bomb but Trey slips out of another o..

Video: Injured Superstar Back In The Ring

Welcome back. You never know how injuries are going to work in wrestling. Sometimes these things aren’t as bad as others, but there are some things that keep wrestlers out of the ring for a very long time. That seems to have been the case with one of the more high profile wrestlers on the Monday Night Raw roster, but an update over the weekend seems to offer some good news. According to Wrestlinginc.com, Alexa Bliss worked a match at a house show last night last night. Bliss was hosting her Moment of Bliss segment with Natalya when Lacey Evans interrupted and attacked. Nikki Cross made the save, setting up a tag match where Natalya made Bliss tap to the Sharpshooter. Bliss has been out of the ring for a long time, with only two televised matches since October. There is no word on when she will be back in the ring on Monday Night Raw. This has happened more than once lately. Check out Bliss getting in the ring earlier this month in Toronto: [This post contains video, click to play] ..

WWE In Talks To Bring In Major Names For WrestleMania 35 (Yes This Could Happen)

Ok that’s a big deal. WrestleMania 35 is the biggest show of the year and WWE already has a lot of big stuff planned. They have a ton of matches to get through and it’s not even clear if all the champions are going to be wrestling. Since it’s WWE though, they have a lot of other stuff planned as well. This includes the traditional legends moments and WWE might have something major planned. According to PWInsider.com by way of 411mania.com, WWE is bringing in Hulk Hogan for some undetermined WrestleMania role. This would be Hogan’s first WrestleMania appearance since WrestleMania 31. In addition to this, WWE is considering bringing in Steve Austin, who hasn’t appeared on the show since WrestleMania 32. Hogan’s most recent appearance was at Crown Jewel in November, while Austin last appeared at Raw 25 in January 2018. They’ve done something like this before, albeit with a bonus.
