That’s terrible. Wrestlers have all kinds problems to deal with on a day to day basis and you never know how things are going to go with their careers. At the same time, there are other issues that can come up outside of the ring which can be far more devastating. Now a young star has revealed a horrible situation, but things might already be taking a step in the right direction.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: In Name Only: Vince McMahon Mentioned On WWE TV Again
During an interview with Sports Illustrated, major League Wrestling’s Richard Holliday revealed that he is undergoing treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

He promised to fight the disease and to return to the ring when he is able. Holliday last wrestled on June 23 and is a former MLW Tag Team Champion.

He’s still on their minds. This has been one of the most eventful years in the history of wrestling but nothing really comes close to Vince McMahon stepping down as head of WWE. McMahon had been in charge of the company for about forty years and several people have never seen WWE under someone else’s control. Now though, we have heard his name again on WWE programming in a positive light.
During the opening match of this week’s NXT, commentator Booker T. mentioned McMahon, referring to him as one of the all time great wrestling minds. The mention came during a list of other promoters, including Paul Bosch. This was one of, if not the, first mentions of McMahon since he officially retired from WWE on July 22 in the midst of an investigation over a string of payments to various women over the years.
It was part of a big show. Check out some more of this week’s NXT:

Call it an honor? AEW launched nearly four years ago with its first event in May 2019. The company promised to offer several new ideas and concepts, with one being a more sports based presentation. This included keeping track of wins and losses, which can pile up in a hurry. Now one AEW wrestler has reached a milestone that is noteworthy, but maybe not in the most positive way.

This week on AEW Dark: Elevation, Lee Moriarty defeated Serpentico in a singles match. The loss gave Serpentico his 100th defeat in AEW, making him the first wrestler to reach that total number of losses in the company. Serpentico made his AEW debut in March 2020 and has wrestled both singles matches as well as teaming with Luther as the Chaos Project. Following his loss, Serpentico commented on the milestone:

Pack your bags. NXT is in a bit of a strange place at the moment as they are going through another transition. After about a year as NXT 2.0, the promotion has dropped the numbers and seems to be shifting in a new direction with Triple H back in power in WWE. That means some changes to NXT and now we might know the next major step in the company’s new path.

According to PWInsider.com, NXT will be heading back on the road for its next premium live event. NXT Vengeance Day is expected to be held on Saturday February 4, 2023 at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. NXT rarely goes on the road, with only one event taking place outside of Orlando, Florida this year, with Stand & Deliver being held in Dallas, Texas. WWE has yet to announce the show.
NXT has been on the road before. Check out some of their previous road trips:

It would be new for them. With such a deep roster, WWE is able to split their wrestlers into several groups, with the developmental program getting its own collection of stars. On occasion you will see someone go from one of the two main rosters down to NXT, either for some polishing up or as a surprise. The latter was the case this week, and it might lead to something big.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: NXT Star Returns To The Ring After Injury Absence
This week’s NXT featured an in-ring segment with NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly. The team said that no one could beat them, but were interrupted by New Day. After some insults, New Day challenged Pretty Deadly to an NXT Tag Team Title match at Deadline this weekend. The match was officially announced later in the night. While Xavier Woods is a former NXT star, Kingston has only wrestled as a guest before.
They have some history. Check out Kingston, Woods and Pretty Deadly’s time in NXT:

Welcome back. One of the worst things that can happen to any wrestler is an injury. They can put someone on the shelf out of nowhere and cut off any momentum that they have going. You never know when someone might be put out of action, which leaves you wondering when they will be back. Another name was back this week after a lengthy injury absence.

Tony D’Angelo made his return to the ring this week on NXT, defeating Xyon Quinn. Following the match, D’Angelo called out North American Champion Wes Lee, who came to the ring until Dijak interrupted the two of them, leading to a fight. This was D’Angelo’s first televised match since the September 14 edition of NXT, when he suffered a knee injury in a match against Lee. D’Angelo wrestled on a live event earlier this week in his first match in nearly three months.
It’s good to have him in the ring again. Check out the match and aftermath:

NXT
Date: December 6, 2022
Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: Booker T., Vic Joseph
It’s the go home show for Deadline and I’m not exactly expecting much tonight as a result. The card is mostly set, though we do need to determine the final entrants in each Iron Survivor Challenge. That means a pair of triple threat matches and they at least have some stakes going in. Let’s get to it.
Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifying Match: Axiom vs. Von Wagner vs. Andre Chase The rest of Chase U is here with Chase. A running boot rocks Wagner at the bell but he’s fine enough to headlock both of them at once. That’s broken up and a double shoulder puts Wagner on the floor. Axiom loads up a dive but gets rolled up for two by Chase. That’s enough for Wagner to get back up and send them both outside as we take a break. Back with Chase hitting a top rope superplex on Axiom, who lands near Wagner.
Either way, Axiom heads to the floor and it’s a slugout between Chase and W..

We are on our way to…well the Royal Rumble, but the show is so far away that it is hard to be that interested so far. As for this week, the Usos will be defending the Tag Team Titles against Matt Riddle and Elias, who are such a longstanding team. Other than that, it’s hard to say what we might be seeing this week so let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Tag Team Titles: Usos vs. Matt Riddle/Elias The Usos, with Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa, are defending. Earlier today though, Riddle annoyed the Bloodline so Elias got beaten down as a result. Actually hang on as the Usos say that the match is off due to Elias being beaten down. Therefore, whoever wants a shot can come get one. Cue Riddle to say that beatdown wasn’t cool, but Sami calls him “my dog.” Riddle: “My dog?”
Sami says he knows what it takes to be ucey, because he is a certified uce-ologist. Sikoa taking ou..

That doesn’t sound so bad. There are all kinds of injuries a wrestler can deal with and once one takes place, the question instantly becomes how bad things are. An injury can keep someone on the shelf for the short term or a lot longer and that can create some issues. Now we know something else about an injury to a top WWE star and things could be a bit better than they seemed.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMOR: WWE Interested In Signing Second Generation Star
This week on Monday Night Raw, an announcement was made that Drew McIntyre was medically disqualified from his upcoming Tag Team Title match with Sheamus against the Usos this week on SmackDown. According to Fightful Select, McIntyre’s injury is said to be minor and he is expected to return to the ring soon. There is still no word on what is wrong with him. McIntyre will be replaced by Butch in the title match.
McIntyre is pretty good when he is healthy. Check out what he can do when he is in the ring:

It’s another field. Wrestlers are very talented performers in that they are able to go to a ring or grab a microphone and convince fans to watch something that they are doing. That is more difficult than it seems but it can be very effective when it is done right. It also isn’t the only talent that wrestlers have though, and now one prominent name is getting to showcase another one.
