….What? Former WWE Writer Reveals Bizarre Ideas That Didn’t Make It Very Far

•

It would be an idea. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestling story and some of them can be issues fans can relate to. At the same time though, there are some stories that are a little bit more outside of reality, as you would not be likely to see them take place in most people’s lives. Now we are hearing about some pitched ideas in WWE that would fit either list. Former WWE writer Brian Gerwitz took to Twitter in response to recent “discussed” Royal Rumble plans. Gerwitz revealed some ideas that were “discussed” during his time with the company. Gerwitz mentioned two stories, neither of which ever made it to television. First up, there was an idea pitched of Vince McMahon having a midlife crisis, resulting in him growing a beard, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and singing Black Eyed Peas songs. The other idea would have involved Kaval, better known as Low Ki, revealed as Undertaker’s long lost son. There is no word on how close WWE came to using either idea. Things “discussed” i..

Multi-Talented: Becky Lynch Filmed Role For Marvel Movie

•

That’s a big one. Wrestlers have a weird relationship with acting, as they are seen as actors in the ring, but are rarely able to land traditional acting roles as anything beyond a wrestler or some kind of a fighter. You do see someone break through occasionally though and that can make for some interesting moments. Now another WWE star seems to have landed a big acting role, but it isn’t something we can see. According to Fightful Select, WWE’s Becky Lynch filmed a post credits scene for the Marvel movie “The Eternals”, but her scene did not make it into the finished film. There is no word on what the scene would have been, but it was described as being “too depressing”. There is still a chance that Lynch could wind up in another film down the line, though there is no word on what it could be. Lynch is very talented in the ring too.

One More Time: Special Reunion Takes Place At NXT Live Event

•

For one night only. There are several different ways to present a wresting story and some of the most interesting ones involve personal issues. That can go in a variety of ways as well, with the relationships involved being positive or negative. It can be interesting to see what a promotion comes up with and sometimes the best choice is a surprise. That was true on Friday in a special moment. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: That’s Power: Interesting Note On Roman Reigns Working With Kevin Owens And Sami Zayn Earlier this year, Dexter Lumis made his return to NXT to briefly reunite with his storyline wife, Indi Hartwell. Lumis would then be arrested and return to Monday Night Raw, where he has since become a full member of the roster, while Hartwell remained in NXT. During Friday’s NXT live event in Jacksonville, Florida, Lumis made a surprise appearance, reuniting with Hartwell and defeating Javier Bernal. There is nothing to suggest that this is more than a one off appearance. In-Dex Reunio..

AEW Rampage Results – December 2, 2022

Rampage Date: December 2, 2022 Location: Indiana Farmer’s Coliseum, Indianapolis, Indiana Commentators: Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, Excalibur We are eight days away from Final Battle and the card is in need of some work. There are a few matches set but nowhere near enough to carry a full pay per view. Maybe we can get something new added tonight, but you never can tell with this show. At least the wrestling tends to be fun so let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Darby Allin vs. Cole Karter Before the match, Allin beats up Nick Comoroto with the baseball bat to cut him off. With that not being enough, Allin dives onto Karter on the floor but an apron powerbomb cuts him off. Back in and a buckle bomb rocks Allin again as we take a break. We come back with Karter missing a Stinger’s Splash but hitting a jumping knee to the face. Allin goes after the knee though and grabs a Code Red for two, leaving them both down. Karter drops him again and goes up, only to miss a 450. A hammerlock Scorpio..

That’s Power: Interesting Note On Roman Reigns Working With Kevin Owens And Sami Zayn

•

That is some serious praise. There is no one in WWE on the level of Roman Reigns at the moment and that has been the case for a very long time now. Reigns has been the Universal Champion for nearly two and a half years and there is nothing to suggest that he will be losing the title anytime soon. It means a lot to be involved with Reigns at the moment, which means a lot for two current WWE stars. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Lacey Evans Debuts New Character In SmackDown Vignette Back at Survivor Series, Kevin Owens slapped Roman Reigns, reportedly causing Reigns to become very angry about the situation. However, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the issue has cooled down and Owens will continue to work with Reigns.

Another look. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestler but a promotion has to find the right combination. Having a wrestler using the wrong character or the wrong story can be a career damaging situation but there are solutions out there. Sometimes a change needs to be made to a character or angle, and that is what WWE is doing again for someone who has undergone multiple changes.

Smackdown Date: December 2, 2022 Location: KeyBank Center, Buffalo, New York Commentators: Michael Cole, Wade Barrett We are done with Survivor Series and on the long road to the Royal Rumble, as there is somehow no major event between now and the end of January. That is a lot of time to fill and first up we are probably going to be seeing the Bloodline celebrate their WarGames win. Other than that, the World Cup wraps up this week so let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Here is most of the Bloodline to get things going. After a WarGames recap, Sami Zayn praises the Usos but Jimmy cuts him off, saying tonight is about Zayn. On Saturday, Zayn was the MVP and the fans were chanting SAMI USO (as they do here). Jey says he didn’t like Sami for a long time but now Zayn has earned his respect and they won WarGames because of him. Jimmy asks Sami how he’s feeling and that would be pretty FREAKIN UCEY. We get a three way special handshake between the Usos and Zayn, who even dances a bit. Cue ..

Welcome back. The last few months have featured several returns of past WWE Superstars as they come back to the company after some time away.

They want to make some adjustments. WWE is a major wrestling promotion and that is partially due to the kinds of adjustments they occasionally make. Sometimes something is not going right and a change is needed. That can make some of their ideas better, which is what they seem to be doing again, as WWE has debuted a new match type and already thinks it needs some tweaking.

That means we need to start getting ready for whatever the December show will be, plus Hard To Kill. The latter of these shows will likely be headlined by Bully Ray challenging Josh Alexander for the World Title, but we need something else besides that. Let’s get to it. The opening recap looks at Bully Ray teasing being good and then going all evil as he goes after the World Title. Here is Bully Ray, complete with the broken Call Your Shot trophy to get things going. He isn’t sure if these Kentuckians will understand him so he tries to keep it simple. Ray shows up at Bound For Glory, ran the gauntlet, and earned the title shot. He told Josh Alexander that he was coming for him on January 13 and they shook hands, with Alexander accepting the match.

That’s a lot of money. WWE has long since been the world’s biggest and most dominant wrestling promotion.

Perfect Timing: AEW’s Saraya Undergoes Ironic Surgery

Now that’s irony. Wrestlers have a tough time with their in-ring careers as they can get rather banged up from one match after another. Those things can lead to a variety of health issues which can shorten the wrestlers’ careers.

Those situations can be quite problematic as well, and now an AEW star is dealing with such an issue.
