Sasha Banks Wants To Wrestle On Another Planet

You want this where? Wrestling has been around for a very long time now and there have been a lot of matches that might not be the most traditional. Sometimes you see a match that goes against the grain, with the wrestlers in another location besides the arena, or even a ring. Those can make some rather interesting moments, and now one current star has a really big idea.
Sasha Banks was a guest on Logan Paul Impaulsive podcast and said that she wants to bring wrestling to another planet. Banks said that she wants to go to another planet and have a match there, specifying that she wants to go to Mars rather than the moon. She asked why not try to be like Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk and bring wrestling to another planet. Banks is currently one half of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions with Naomi, having won the titles at WrestleMania 38 on Sunday.
There is a lot here. Check out the podcast, which also includes an interview with Becky Lynch:

WWE Hall Of Famer Returning To Monday Night Raw Next Week

Welcome back? There are a lot of wrestlers on the WWE roster and some of them are among the biggest names in wrestling history. If you have been watching WWE for any length of time, you know that there are some names which have made a lot of history in the company. Some of them have even made an impact even outside of WWE and another one of those names will be back soon.
This week on Raw Talk, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler announced that he will be filling in on Monday Night Raw commentary next week. Regular broadcaster Corey Graves and Monday Night Raw star Carmella will be getting married later this week and will be on his honeymoon next week. This will be a one off appearance for Lawler, who has been done commentary on and off for thirty years.
Opinion: Lawler is one of those names that can be hit or miss, as you never know what version you are going to get. If he is being his evil self, you can get something more interesting but if he is being his not very funny self, it might m..

Report: Tammy Sytch Caused Fatal Car Crash, DUI Suspected

According to multiple reports, WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Sytch, also known as Sunny, caused a car crash last month in which a 75-year-old man died. Police suspect that she was intoxicated during the incident.
The Ormand Police Department has released new information which claims that Sytch was driving a 2012 Mercedes when she crashed into the rear of a 2013 Kia Sorento that had been stopped at a stoplight. The Kia then crashed into the back of a 2011 GMC Yukon that was also stopped at the stoplight.
Two witnesses stated that Sytch had been “driving at a high rate of speed” before hitting the Kia. The driver was transported to a nearby hospital, where he died from injuries suffered in the wreck. The officers say Sytch was also transported to the same hospital with unknown injuries.
Police say they believed Sytch was under the influence of alcohol when the crash occurred. Authorities took a blood sample after the accident, but the results are still pending.
Sunny’s legal troubles have ..

WWE Possibly Splitting Up NXT Stable And Moving Promoting Some Members

Don’t get attached to them. NXT is in a weird place as the promotion is designed to be both its own thing as well as WWE’s official developmental promotion. As a result, the show has to find a way to balance out both its present and future, which can mean wrestlers leaving at the drop of a hat. That might be the case again with a good chunk of a current stable who hasn’t been around very long.
According to Fightful Select, WWE is considering bring Marcel Barthel and Gunther of the Imperium stable up to the main roster. This comes after Fabian Aichner walked away from Barthel in a tag match and Gunther lost an NXT Title match this week on NXT. There is no word on when such a promotion might take place or what it means for Aichner’s future, either in NXT or WWE.
Opinion: I don’t think Gunther coming up to the main roster is any kind of a surprise as he has been ready for a main event level spot for the better part of ever. What has me a bit confused is Barthel coming up without Aichner..

AEW Star Injured During Dark: Elevation Taping

That’s never good to see. An injury can take a wrestler out of action at any time and that can make for some scary situations. You never know when you are going to see someone get hurt and be put out of action for a long time, but the best you can do is hope that things are not bad. That seems to be the case again, as a wrestler was injured during a match this week.
According to the Wrestling Observer Twitter account, AEW’s Leyla Hirsch suffered a knee injury during the opening match of this week’s AEW Dark: Elevation taping. The match was immediately stopped and Hirsch was helped to the back. There is no word on the severity of Hirsch’s injury or how long she might be out of action. Hirsch has been part of AEW since October 2020.
Leyla Hirsch appeared to injure her knee on a somersault flip out of the corner in the opening AEW Dark: Elevation match. Match was immediately stopped and she was helped to the back. ^JN

AEW Dynamite Live Coverage And Results – April 6, 2022

Dynamite
Date: April 6, 2022
Location: Agganis Arena, Boston, Massachusetts
Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Jim Ross, Excalibur
It’s pretty rare to have a lot of things going on when a company hasn’t had a major show, but that is the case this week. Ring of Honor’s Supercard of Honor event was basically AEW’s Wrestlemania weekend show and included the debut of Samoa Joe. He’ll be here tonight, and that means things could get a lot more interesting. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
Adam Cole vs. Christian Cage They stare at each other for a bit until Christian grabs a headlock to grind away a bit. Cole breaks that up and sends him into the corner to take over. Christian knocks him outside though and it’s a baseball slide out to the floor. That means some chops up against the barricade but Christian’s foot gets caught in the ropes, allowing Cole to take over again. A hard whip into the corner rocks Christian and we take a break.
Back with Christian knocking him to the floor again and..

BREAKING: WWE Releases Reigning Champion Over Domestic Violence Allegations

That’s a big change. There are a lot of wrestlers on the WWE roster today but sometimes some of them leave the company for one reason or another. That might be for something rather negative and those situations can often be for a serious matter. That seems to be the case again, as a rather prominent wrestler has been let go from the company over an allegation.
According to Sean Ross Sapp, NXT Tag Team Champion Nash Carter has been released from WWE. This comes after Carter’s wife, Impact Wrestling wrestler Kimber Lee, accused him of domestic violence and posted a photo of him with a Hitler mustache and doing a Nazi salute. However, the wife of Carter’s partner Wes Lee has posted a tweet of her own, saying that Carter is the victim of Kimber Lee’s mental abuse and Carter and Kimber Lee have not been together. There is no word on what will be done about the title situation.
I can now confirm this information

Turnaround: Surprise Title Change Takes Place On NXT

Fast turnaround. We are done with the biggest wrestling weekend of the year and a lot went down. There were major matches, several showdowns and big moments that changed the way a lot of stories go. This included a variety of title changes, some of which might not have been the biggest surprises. What was a surprise was having the title change back almost immediately.
The Kickoff Show match for Saturday’s NXT Stand & Deliver saw Dakota Kai/Raquel Gonzalez take the Women’s Tag Team Titles from Toxic Attraction. However, Toxic Attraction took the titles back from Kai and Gonzalez this week on NXT, ending their reign at three days. This is actually longer than Kai and Gonzalez’s first reign as champions, as they lost the titles the night they were awarded them in March 2021.
Opinion: I’m not sure I get this, as the title change felt lik the whole picture was changing. Apparently that is not the case though and now we have things right back where they were on Saturday morning. In theory ..

How WWE’s WrestleMania Plans Would Have Looked Without Ronda Rousey

She wasn’t the first choice. The WWE roster is constantly in a state of flux as you don’t know who might show up every now and then. That can make for some interesting changes, but it can also shake things up at the drop of a hat. It can be fascinating to see what the changes mean to WWE, and now we know about what a specific change meant for two people.
The scheduled main event from Night One of WrestleMania 38 was SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte defending against Ronda Rousey. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Rousey took Sasha Banks’ spot when she returned, sending Banks into a tag team with Naomi. Banks and Naomi went on to win the Women’s Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania while Charlotte retained over Rousey.
Opinion: This is something that makes sense, as Rousey only returned to WWE about two and a half months before WrestleMania. I’m not sure when her deal with the company was ready, but you have to think that WWE had another plan in mind before she debuted on televisi..

WATCH: WWE Hall Of Famer Involved In Angle On NXT

It’s a family thing. There have been all kinds of families in wrestling and some of them are known by a single name. It can be a lot of fun to look back at them and see what worked, but it also means a lot when you look to the future. That can be through the next generation of wrestlers that is coming up, but week the two generations are coming together in a way that might surprise you.
This week’s NXT featured a main event of NXT Champion Bron Breakker successfully defending his title over Gunther. Following the match, Joe Gacy and Harland appeared on screen, revealing that they had kidnapped Breakker’s father, new WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner. There is no word on where this is going or when a possible match between Breakker and Gacy could take place.
That makes things more serious. Check out what happened with Breakker, Gacy and Steiner:

Opinion: There is something strange about seeing Gunther defeated and Gacy rising up as the next to..

AEW Star Receives Very Special And Unique Honor

That’s a special honor. There are a lot of titles to be won in wrestling but at some point, almost every wrestler is going to lose their championship. It isn’t something fun for them to do, but it has to happen at some point. That does not leave much for wrestlers to keep forever, but now we are getting to see someone receive a very special honor that will stick around.
Thunder Rosa has announced that Bexar County, Texas, near San Antonio, has declared that March 16 will be known as Thunder Rosa Day. The tweeted announcement included photos of Rosa with the AEW Women’s Title, receiving a plaque declaring the honor. Rosa defeated Britt Baker to win the title on March 16 in her hometown of San Antonio, marking her first championship in AEW.
Today Bexar county proclaimed 3:16 as Thunder Rosa Day!

Two Surprising Names Possibly Joining Edge’s New Stable

That would be a big double up. There are so many wrestlers on the WWE roster these days that it can be difficult to find something for all of them to do. One of the best options is to put some people together and give them a common story in the form of a stable. That is something we are seeing again at the moment and now we might know some of the new names joining the team.
According to Fightful Select, both Tommaso Ciampa and Rhea Ripley have been pitched as possible names to join Edge’s stable. These names are only pitches at the moment, which does not mean that they will be added to the group. Ripley has been having issues with her tag partner Liv Morgan while Ciampa recently wrestled his final NXT match. The only person to join Edge so far is Damian Priest.
Opinion: This is something that could be interesting, though I’m not sure how well such an idea would go. What matters is finding the right people for these spots and these two could make for some strong additions. The story i..
