Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt Respond To The Rumors Of Wyatt Turning On Hardy And Becoming The Leader Of ‘SAnitY’

The “Woken” bond soon to be “Broken”?
Dating back to late 2017 Bray Wyatt & Matt Hardy have been feuding with one another and Bray Wyatt is the man responsible for bringing the unforsaken vessel of Matt Hardy out to the WWE Universe. When the two unusual characters went to war in the 'Ultimate Deletion' match on the March 19th edition of RAW, they tried to take one another out but ultimately “The Eater Of Worlds” was “deleted” and tossed into the 'Lake Of Reincarnation' by one Matthew Hardy.
Aside from live events Bray Wyatt would not be seen on WWE programming until WrestleMania 34 where he played a major role in Matt Hardy becoming the winner of the 'Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal'.

Xavier Woods Explains What ‘Wrestlers Court’ Is

Woods provides some insight into what is known as 'wrestlers court'.
'Wrestlers Court' is a phrase that has been mentioned in countless interviews by those who are a part or have been a part of the WWE locker room. From what has been spoken about it 'wrestlers court' is when the locker room and a “judge” help wrestlers who have an issue with one another come to an agreement or settle a dispute. The Undertaker at one point was even said to have been a “judge” of wrestlers court due to the locker room having a genuine respect for him.
In the latest video of former two-time SmackDown Live Tag Team Champion Xavier Woods' 'UpUpDownDown' YouTube gaming channel, he gave a brief explanation as to what 'wrestlers court' is before playing a few rounds of 'Wheel Of Fortune' with Tyler Breeze and the cast of the 'Super Troopers 2' film which is set to release on April 20th of this year.

Rich Swann Returns To In-Ring Competition

He could not stay away from the ring.
Rich Swann had quite the whirlwind of a 2017 in a short span of time as he was once a WWE superstar, then he and the company mutually agreed to part ways, and following that Swann decided that he no longer wanted to be a pro wrestler and announced his retirement from the sport.
In December of 2017 Swann was suspended indefinitely by WWE for violating their zero tolerance policy for domestic violence. Rich Swann and his wife Vannarah Riggs, also known as 'Su Yung' were involved in an altercation with one another that resulted in Swann being arrested.

PWG All-Star Weekend 2018 Night 1 Preview!

Hello Fightful! As always, I’m KOSS, and I’m here to deliver a double shot of PWG, with All Star Weekend 14! These two shows are taking place on 4/20 and 4/21, and are two of the last three shows taking place in the infamous Legion Hall in Reseda. It’s bittersweet to see PWG leave that grimy old building. A lot of PWG’s best moments ever have taken place inside there, but, at the same time, it feels right for PWG to finally move on up to a bigger, better venue. And their seeming new venue, the Globe Theater in Los Angeles, is certainly a step up, as seen from the preview from their first show there, Time is a Flat Circle. It’ll be sad when May 25th rolls around and PWG says goodbye to their home for the last decade, but it’s also an exciting new chapter in PWG’s history that I can’t wait to dive head first into.
With the sentimentality out of the way, let’s talk about these All Star Weekend 14! I’ll be cutting the preview into two articles, just for the sake of convenience. As for the..
