It’s good to be back. There have been a lot of stars returning to WWE in the last few months and those returns do not seem to be slowing down whatsoever. It can be a big deal when someone returns after months if not years away and that was the situation last week. Now the latest returning star is opening up about her return, as it was quite the special moment.
Last Friday on SmackDown, Emma made a surprise return, answering Ronda Rousey’s open challenge in a losing effort. Emma has since responded to her return with both a tweet and an Instagram post. The latter is simply saying “home” while the Instagram post talks about how she left WWE nearly five years ago to the day before getting to return with some “unfinished business”.

It’s a seasonal thing. We are in the Halloween season and that means you will be seeing a lot of spooky forms of entertainment. This is certainly the case with wrestling, which has a history of going a little far with its scarier stuff. WWE is no exception, as it has had several more out there characters over the years. Now the company is looking back at some of their better moments.
WWE has released a top ten video looking at the Ten Scariest WWE Moments. The list goes back over thirty years and includes all kinds of scares, most of which took place in segments rather than in matches. Some of the names included are Edge, Bray Wyatt, Papa Shango and the Undertaker, though there are no entries from other promotions outside of WWE on the list.
There is a lot here. Check out what made the list:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that fits the season, but there are a few odd entries on the list. Several of the choices are modern options and sh..

That’s a different gimmick. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to get noticed, but most of the time they have their own unique way of doing things in the ring that will get them noticed. At the same time, there are occasions where a wrestler might try to do something that another star is already doing, often in some kind of tribute. That happened again this weekend, in a big way.
WWE ran a live event in Glasgow, Scotland over the weekend, featuring a six man tag between New Day and Braun Strowman against the Usos and Sami Zayn. During the match, Zayn used Roman Reigns’ Superman Punch on Strowman and managed to knock him down. Zayn also tried the spear but missed, allowing Strowman to come back for the win. Using Reigns’ offense is something Zayn has done at live events but not on television as of yet.
This was pretty good. Check out what Zayn managed to do to Strowman:

The strength grows. There are a lot of things that need to be done to make a wrestling company stronger and a lot of those changes involve the roster. Sometimes you need to boost things up a bit with some fresh talent, some of which are names that you have seen before. Now AEW seems to have bolstered its roster again by adding in some fresh names to its ranks.
According to PWInsider.com, AEW has signed two stars to deals of some sort, though the lengths are not known. The first name is Juice Robinson, who is a former NXT star as well as a former New Japan Pro Wrestling United States Champion. Robinson appeared on the September 28 edition of AEW Dynamite, losing to Jon Moxley. The second name is Bandido, who is a former Ring Of Honor World Champion. Bandido lost to Chris Jericho in a Ring Of Honor World Title match on the September 28 edition of Dynamite. There is no word on when either will return to AEW TV.
Opinion: Those would be two big names added to the AEW roster and that seems..

That’s not a great look. Wrestling is a fairly simple concept, as wrestlers are tasked with making the fans believe that they are seeing a real contest between two wrestlers. That can be easier said than done at times as there are multiple ways to go about pulling it off. One of the most important aspects though is maintaining realism, with one star making that a bit more difficult this weekend.
Over the weekend, WWE presented a live event in Glasgow, Scotland, featuring a triple threat street fight featuring Liv Morgan, Natalya and Shayna Baszler. Morgan hit a top rope backsplash on Natalya on a table for the win, but the table did not break. Following the pin, Natalya immediately rolled to the floor and left the arena, similar to what she did to Morgan at a live event earlier this year. There is no word on why Natalya left so abruptly.
This isn’t the way things often go. Check out Natalya leaving so quickly:

An international guest star. WWE is the most well known wrestling company in the world and their stars are some of the biggest names in the history of wrestling. However, there are several other promotions out there with quite the history of their own with quite the series of legendary stars. Now a WWE star is going to get to go do something special with a legend from outside the company.
Pro Wrestling Noah has announced that WWE’s Shinsuke Nakamura will be facing the Great Muta on January 1 in Tokyo, Japan. The match will be part of Muta’s retirement tour, which culminates later in the month. Nakamura has commented on the match on Twitter, calling it a “miracle”. The two have wrestled two singles matches before, with Muta winning both, including defeating Nakamura for the IWGP Heavyweight Title in 2008.
On New Year's Day, fans will see pro wrestling's biggest dream match in 2023.

That is never something you want to hear. There are all kinds of injuries and health issues that can cause serious problems for wrestlers. Some of them take place all at once, but there are others that are built up over time and last long into a wrestler’s retirement. Certain legends have opened up about their issues and now another is telling us what happened to him at an important point in his career.
During a recent edition of his Foley Is Pod podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley talked about his return to WWE back in 2012. Around the time he was going back, Foley saw a doctor about his health issues. In addition to neurological issues, Foley had severe issues with his back. This included problems with five different discs, which have caused his spine to curve. The issue has caused Foley to be in pain and also to lose height. There is nothing to suggest that the problem can be solved through surgery or other means.
Opinion: You could tell that Foley was in pain just by looking at..

It’s a rough job. There are all kinds of people who have to come together to make a WWE show work and a lot of them don’t even get in the ring. Some of the people are there as a representative of the company as a way to make sure things go well. Now one of them is talking about his former position and how it did not exactly go as well as he had been hoping.
During the latest edition of his ARN podcast, former WWE producer Arn Anderson spoke about his time in the role. Anderson said that he actually hated the job, as he was only involved in the finish of the match. If the rest of the match did not go well, he would get blamed by Vince McMahon. The job would have been easier if he had more authority of the match, as it would have kept him from taking so much blame for so little influence. Anderson also described himself as a “scapegoat” for any problems that came up during matches he produced, even if he had little to do with it. Anderson worked for WWE from 2001-2019.
Opinion: This is..

Tis the season. Wrestling is about having fun and entertaining the fans in one way or another. There are multiple ways to do just that and some of them are a lot goofier than others. At times, the best thing that can be done is just do something entertaining without trying to be overly serious. That took place again this weekend as an annual tradition was brought back.
NXT brought back its Halloween costume battle royal over the weekend at a live event in Melbourne, Florida. The match included several women competing for an NXT Women’s Title shot against Mandy Rose in the show’s main event. Thea Hail, who was dressed as Andre Chase, won the battle royal but lost to Rose in the title match. Here are some of the participants, including how their costumes looked:
NXT did a Halloween Battle Royal tonight with the women. Some costumes:
Cora: AJ Lee
Roxanne: Bayley
Wendy: Sumo wrestler
Valentina: Nurse
Thea: Andre Chase
Sloane: Poison Ivy
Zoey: Triple H

That’s a big hint. There are several ways to debut a new star and some of them can be quite unique. It can be interesting to see a tease of a new star coming to a promotion, but there are also times where someone appears without letting us know who it is. That took place earlier this week, but now we might have a hint about who we are seeing, even if they haven’t given us anything concrete.
The end of this week’s edition of SmackDown saw the debut of Uncle Howdy, who had appeared before but never identified himself. The shot of Uncle Howdy’s face did not make his identity clear, but we might have a hint. Uncle Howdy could be seen wearing a cross earring, which had previously been worn by former NXT Champion Bo Dallas. This is not confirmed, though Dallas has been rumored to be returning to WWE to be involved with Wyatt’s story.

That would explain some things. You never know when you are going to see a wrestler get injured and be forced to miss a bunch of time from the ring. Unfortunately the question in such a situation is how long someone is going to be out of action, and sometimes there is no answer in sight. This time though, there is a possibility that one injury is keeping two people out of action.
Earlier this month, Asuka was injured at the hands of Damage Ctrl, putting her on the shelf. At the same time, Asuka’s partner, Alexa Bliss, has not been wrestling on television but has been wrestling at live events. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is a chance that Asuka is dealing with a legitimate injury, which could be keeping her out of the ring. As a result, Bliss is not wrestling on television until Asuka returns. This is not yet confirmed and is still considered speculation.
Opinion: That might be a bit of a stretch to figure out why Bliss is gone and I would hope that it isn’t t..

As good a reason as any. Wrestling is a sport all about conflict, which is made all the trickier when a majority of fans know that what they are watching is scripted. At times though, there are some feuds that look more realistic than others because there is an element of reality in them. Two major WWE stars have some real life issues and now one of them is explaining a bit more.
There have long been stories of real life heat between Charlotte and Becky Lynch, despite the two of them formerly being friends. Lynch appeared on the MMA Hour (Lynch’s segment begins around 1:43:40) and discussed the issues between her and Charlotte and offering an explanation. According to Lynch, the issues stem from the two of them being competitive and wanting to be the best. The two of them competed for the top spot and ultimately fell out because of it. There is no word on how the relationship status is now. Both are currently off WWE TV, with Charlotte on a hiatus and Lynch recovering from a shoulder ..
