Injured Former Champion Returns To Action On Saturday

•

Welcome home. There’s something very cool when a wrestler returns from an injury. You get to see them for the first time after what could be a long or short layoff and the question becomes how fast they can get back to where they were before. Or perhaps they’re even better this time around. Either way, it’s a fun thing to see and it was on display Saturday night. According to PWInsider.com by way of 411mania.com, Luke Harper returned to the ring from an injury in his hometown of Rochester, New York on Saturday night, defeating Mojo Rawley. This is Harper’s first match since October 1 due to wrist surgery that has caused him to miss several months. There is no word on when Harper may return to television or which show it may be on. Maybe a reunion is in order.

Fastlane 2019 Preview, Predictions And Thoughts

•

So here we are, with the show that has been treated as an afterthought to an afterthought and is now just being treated like a nothing show. There are a few things on the show that could be interesting, but WWE has been acting like Fastlane, as in the show they’re putting on, is just a nuisance that they’re required to cover. Just watch Raw and see how much effort they’ve put into it as compared to promoting Wrestlemania. Hopefully things pick up a little bit and the show winds up being fun. Let’s get to it. Kickoff Show: Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade Well if you insists. This has been a great feud so far and one of the best things on SmackDown this year. These guys mesh very well together and this one can serve as the rubber match after their previous big blowoff officially went to a no contest because WWE doesn’t know the definition of a no contest. I’ll take Andrade to win here as he needs to be elevated a little bit more. Mysterio is already a legend and has been for about ten years n..

Main Event Results – March 7, 2019

•

Main Event Date: March 7, 2019 Location: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Commentators: Byron Saxton, Renee Young, Percy Watson Things started happening in a hurry last week as WWE suddenly remembered that they needed to set up Fastlane outside of the big matches. That made for some eventful stuff this week and hopefully that translates to this show as well. I’m not sure if I should believe that to be the case or not, but you have to have hope. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Apollo Crews vs. EC3 Rematch from last week. EC3 takes him down with a quickly broken headlock as Crews fights up with a dropkick and armdrag. Crews gets stomped down in the corner for a bit and we hit the reverse chinlock. A clothesline cuts off Crews’ comeback but Crews gets in one of his own. That’s enough to head up top, only to get crotched back down. The 1%er finishes Crews at 5:25. Result: EC3 b. Apollo Crews – 1%er (5:25) From Raw. Here’s Roman Reigns to open things up to another sol..

Rumor: Could FOX Be Ending The WWE’s PG Era?

•

Now this could be interesting. As you probably know, SmackDown Live is moving to the FOX Network later this year, giving WWE their biggest platform for television in decades, if not ever. It means that things could be changing in a hurry, and it’s not clear just how much those changes are going to mean. If FOX has its say though, it could mean one of the biggest changes of all. According to Rajah.com, FOX may be looking for WWE to stop being as politically correct and moving towards an edgier product. While no specifics are being given, it seems that FOX wants things to be a bit more adult, which could include a variety of things that are closer to the Attitude Era than the current PG style. WWE set themselves up as a PG promotion, meaning the only thing that would need to be done to change things is a self imposed change. It could be an interesting mixture of both eras.

Roman Reigns Explains Why Women Should Main Event WrestleMania 35

•

Former WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns was recently interviewed by Sky Sports. This followed the WrestleMania 36 press conference earlier this week. During the interview, Reigns discussed why he believes the women deserve to close WrestleMania 35 this year. Seth Rollins defeated 29 other men in the Royal Rumble men’s match to earn the right to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania. This has led a number of fans to predict and hope that those two performers close out the show. It seems more possible now, more than ever, that women could close out the show. Becky Lynch faces Charlotte Flair this weekend at Fastlane- and a victory there, as predicted by most fans, would result in a triple threat between those two performers and RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey for the Championship.

This Is Amazing. Thirty Year Old Never Before Seen WCW Nintendo Game Discovered

Here We Go Again. Two More Former Champions Turn Down WWE Contract Extensions, May Leave Later This Year.

Add them to the list. One of the biggest stories of the year so far has been the amount of people to either leave or try to leave WWE. While some of them seem to be wanting to head to AEW or elsewhere, there are others who just seem to want to leave the company to find better luck anywhere else. We now have some new names on that list and they’re both former champions. According to PWInsider.com, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson recently turned down multi-million dollar deals to stay with WWE. The two are said to not be happy with the way they have been used on television, where they have only had one match this year and only five since the beginning of last July. Their WWE Network series Botch Club was dropped after a single episode for no explained reason. Gallows and Anderson’s deals are said to expire in late September and there is no definitive word on where they would wind up, though AEW and Japan are both possibilities. It seems so long ago.

Does it count if you don’t tell them? We’re less than two days away from Fastlane and, in theory at least, the card is set for the show.

Dates Confirmed for WWE’s Saudi Arabia Shows in 2019

WWE has a 10-year partnership with the Saudi General Sports Authority. The partnership started last year- which saw WWE host The Greatest Royal Rumble and Crown Jewel in the country.

Ronda Rousey Tears Into WWE and the Fans: Has the Raw Women’s Champ Gone Too Far? (VIDEO)

Ronda Rousey has taken aim at WWE and she’s not holding back. More importantly, she’s also taking aim at the fans. While all of this is to be expected when a Superstar turns heel, this situation is a bit different. But why? This is not just any ordinary heel. This is Ronda Rousey. The Baddest Woman on the Planet had a Hall of Fame pedigree long before she ever stepped into a WWE ring and she also had mainstream sports approval to go along with it. Rousey was the real deal before and she’s definitely the real deal now. But is all of this going too far? Many WWE fans would probably say yes, mostly because of Rousey’s recent interview on her social media. She was asked about her promo from the March 4 edition of Monday Night Raw in which she turned on the WWE Universe. But according to Rousey, this was not a promo at all. “It wasn’t a promo.
