Hang it up. There are all kinds of titles under the WWE umbrella and holding one of them can make all the difference in the world. A title reign can change the way a wrestler’s career goes and losing a title can mark quite the fork in the road. There are different ways to go after the loss, but occasionally someone loses a title without losing a match, which is what has happened again.

The main event of last week’s NXT saw Roxanne Perez defeat Meiko Satomura to retain the NXT Women’s Title. Following the match, Perez collapsed and was taken away from the arena in an ambulance. WWE executive Shawn Michaels has announced that as a result of the incident, there will be a series of qualifying matches tonight, with the winners advancing to a ladder match to crown a new champion at Stand & Deliver on April 1. The title has not been officially vacated.

That’s some high praise. The introduction of AEW into the wrestling world has changed quite a few things, as now a new batch of wrestlers with their own style has been brought into the landscape. That can cause a lot of changes for fans as they might not have seen most of the new names before. One such group of wrestlers has caught the eye of a legend, who has quite the take on them.

During an appearance on the Cafe de Rene podcast, AEW’s Jake Roberts said that he believes the Elite (Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks) are better than the Bloodline’s Roman Reigns and the Usos.

That’s one way to go. With so many talented wrestlers in WWE, it can be difficult to find something for everyone to do. This can make for some strange and often annoying stretches where a wrestler is not around as often as they could be for one reason or another. Now we know something about where a missing star is and why he has been gone for so long.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: A Rare Breed: Rhea Ripley Reveals Special Privilege WWE Grants Her
During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer was asked about the status of Roderick Strong. While Strong has not been used by WWE since October, he is still under contract with the company and has not been released. Instead, WWE is simply not using him at the moment. It is not clear what caused them to go in this direction or when Strong might wrestle again.

That’s something special. There are all kinds of things that need to come together to make a wrestler a success. At or near the top of the list is the ability to talk, as it can make the fans care about you in a way that almost anything in the ring just cannot do. Being able to use the right words help, and now another WWE star is revealing a special privilege that she has when it comes to talking.

During a new interview with Sports Media with Richard Deitsch, Monday Night Raw star Rhea Ripley revealed that she has some creative freedom with promos. While there are promos where she is required to say certain things to get points across and cannot change much, she has “free range” on backstage segments.

That’s not good. There are all kinds of wrestlers in the world today, several of whom have been seen in a variety of promotions. It can be interesting to see where someone goes after they have some success in one place, but unfortunately there are times when someone goes through a problem that is more important than wrestling. That appears to be the situation again and now legal issues are included.

A totally different way to go. With less than three weeks to go before WrestleMania 39, there is only so much time left to get everything set for the show. That can make for some last minute problems, especially if something comes up that causes an issue. It’s possible that is the case again, and it could have a rather big impact on what we are seeing at WrestleMania.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Try Again: Update On WWE Pitching WrestleMania 39 Ideas To Steve Austin
One of the bigger wrestling stories at the moment is the status of Bray Wyatt. While Wyatt has reportedly been dealing with a medical issue, Wyatt has been dealing with Bobby Lashley in recent weeks. However, on Monday, Lashley sent out a tweet talking about how he had worked too had and is willing to face anyone at WrestleMania. There was no mention of Wyatt, suggesting that WWE is moving on to something else for the WrestleMania match. This is NOT seen as a fact but rather speculation at this point.
I’ve worked too hard to ..

He would be a big one. WrestleMania 39 is next month and that means it is going to be time for the biggest stars in wrestling to come together for the most important event of the year. WWE has a history of having those names put together one a major card and they are doing it again, though one of the biggest names ever will not be included. Now we know a bit more about why.

A new report from Fightful Select says that Austin was pitched other matches for WrestleMania, including one with LA Knight. There is no word on Austin’s response to any of ..

We have six major TV shows left before Wrestlemania and there is still some work to do. Most of the matches and stories are already set but there are a least a few things that need to be finalized. There is a good chance that some of those will be covered, or at least addressed, tonight so let’s get to it.
Here is Edge to get things going. He loves that kind of reaction from the crowd but wants to get straight to the point. Edge calls out Finn Balor so here is the full Judgment Day. Edge says that Balor’s request for a Wrestlemania match is on, which Balor appreciates. With that out of the way, Edge recaps the feud and says he doesn’t have time to deal with all of these people anymore. That’s why at Wrestlemania, he wants Hell in a Cell.
Balor says Hell couldn’t handle his demons so they’re on for Wrestlemania. Judgment Day storms the ring and the..

That could be a problem. It was previously reported that Bray Wyatt missed a scheduled live event appearance at Madison Square Garden over the weekend, along with missing Smackdown this past week. Some new information may give some clues as to why this happened.
According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Wyatt has an undisclosed “physical issue” and is currently out of action. It is unknown at this time. What exactly the issue is, and how long he will be away from WWE.

That’s a big one. We are less than three weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and the show is already starting to come together. There are several matches already set for the show but with two nights to fill, a lot more will need to be done. This can include matches that are not held under your typical rules, and now another one has been added to the card with some of the biggest stipulations WWE has to offer.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Uh Oh? Bray Wyatt Misses Weekend MSG WWE Live Event, Not Around As Much Lately
For most of the last year, Edge has been involved in a feud with the Judgment Day, often with only his wife Beth Phoenix helping him. Last month, Finn Balor challenged Edge to a match at WrestleMania and this week, Edge accepted. After saying yes, Edge said that he wanted the match to be inside Hell In A Cell, with Balor accepting. This will be the third Hell In A Cell match in WrestleMania history and the first since WrestleMania 32 in 2016.
