Someone said yes. Wrestlers are in a weird position as they are supposed to portray their characters full time while often not showing what is going on behind the scenes. That is easier said than done a lot of the time, especially in a world of social media and online presence. Both have allowed for easier looks behind the scenes and that is the case again with two WWE stars.
WWE star Scarlett has revealed that she and Monday Night Raw’s Karrion Kross are now engaged. The couple have been together for several years now and have been paired together on NXT television, though Scarlett has yet to join him on the main roster. It is not clear if this will lead to the two of them being paired on television again. Kross debuted on the main WWE roster in July.

They do make a great pair. Check out the two of them together in NXT:

There isn’t room for everyone. Various wrestlers have been moving around the industry as of late with all kinds of them going from one promotion to another. That can make for some interesting moves, as wrestlers are suddenly getting opportunities that they never have before. It turns out that one wrestler is not going to get another opportunity that he has gotten before.
Buddy Matthews, formerly known as Buddy Murphy, was one of the dozens of wrestlers who were released from WWE earlier this year. Matthews has wrestled a pair of independent matches since his release, but has yet to sign with a major promotion. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, AEW will not be bringing Matthews in. There is no word on why they passed on signing him.
Someone is going to get a steal. Check out who is available on the free agent market:

I hope you took pictures. New characters are introduced on wrestling shows all of the time. You often see someone new added into the fold and it can be very fun to see where they go and how long it takes them to get there. Some of them are a lot more successful than others, occasionally due to outside forces. That was the case this week, as a new character is already done.
This week on NXT, Joe Gacy introduced a new character who was built around being politically correct. This included saying that the ring was a safe space and he did not need to use his male privilege to win matches. The character received attention from the New York Post and FOX News over poking fun at the “woke left”. According to Wrestlinginc.com, WWE has since deleted all references to the character from its website and social media, with Gacy doing the same on his own accounts. There is no word if the character will return in any form in the future.
There are other ways to present Gacy. Check out what else he c..

You got his attention. There are a lot of things going on in WWE at the moment and some of them are not exactly being well received. WWE is just not the most popular promotion in the world right now and a lot of those problems come from Monday Night Raw. The show has not been doing very well and a lot of that is due to how erratic it has been. Now we know why one of its recent changes took place.
This week’s edition of Monday Night Raw featured two major matches as New Day faced the Bloodline and Roman Reigns, Big E. and Bobby Lashley faced off in a triple threat. The latter of the matches was not advertised in advance and was a last minute addition to the show. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Vince McMahon added the show to the card due to how well the match had been received at recent live events. The six man tag was originally planned to main event the show but wound up opening instead.
It was a busy night. Check out how we got to where we were:

Set your DVR. AEW has hit the ground running like no other promotion in recent memory as the company has gone from non-existent to the second biggest wrestling company in the world in less than three years. A lot of that has been due to their excellent television deal but some changes are coming. As it turns out, they just won’t be the exact changes that we were expecting.
According to Variety, AEW Dynamite will be moving from TNT to TBS on January 5, 2022. This move was known in advance, though the exact date was not known. In addition, AEW Rampage will be remaining on TNT throughout 2022. Both shows will continue airing in their traditional time slots. The original plan had called for both shows to move to TBS in the new year.
These shows have done rather well so far. Check out what both of them have been doing:

Opinion: This is kind of an odd choice ..

It’s a different world. The last year and a half have seen wrestlers leaving WWE like we have not seen in a very long time. Some of these wrestlers have been let go against their will but some of them have left because they want to. That seems to be what another wrestler wants to do at the moment, and WWE does not seem to be opposed to agreeing to the idea.
Earlier this week, reports surfaced that Monday Night Raw’s Gran Metalik wanted out of his WWE contract. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is likely to grant his release request. The idea now is that there is no need to keep every wrestler available under contract, meaning Metalik’s request is more likely. Had this taken place just a few years ago, Metalik would have been left to finish out his contract, which expires in 2023.
Metalik certainly as some skill. Check out what he can do when he is given the chance:

That will get people talking. There are all kinds of people in the wrestling world and some of them do not have the best reputation. Sometimes you will see a wrestler get blackballed from the industry and that could be the case for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately some of these are a lot more serious than others, though one such wrestler will be making his return to the ring soon.
Puerto Rico promotion CWA has released a video announcing that Marty Scurll will be making his debut with the company at Halloween Fan Fest on October 23 in San Juan. There is no word on what Scurll will be doing on the show. Scurll has not wrestled since February 2020 after facing allegations of a sexual encounter in the United Kingdom with an intoxicated 16 year old (the age of consent in the country) in 2015. While Scurll insisted the act was consensual, the girl described it as an assault of a child. As a result, Scurll was let go from Ring of Honor and has not been seen in wrestling since.
This isn’..

That doesn’t sound good. Wrestlers are larger than life characters and that is what makes them successful. The more over the top they can be the better, as that is what makes people stop and take notice. You don’t see someone who can make the charisma and in-ring work go well at the same time, but now one of the best ever is having some serious health issues.
According to PWInsider.com, WWE Hall of Famer Superstar Billy Graham has been hospitalized due to an irregular heartbeat, heart failure and fluid in his lungs. Graham is currently undergoing treatment to have the fluid removed, but there is a fear about his kidneys not reacting well to the medication. Graham, 78 years old, is a former WWE Champion, having won the title in 1977. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004.
You might not have seen Graham before. Check out his time in the ring and see if he reminds you of anyone:

That’s one way to get around it. WWE is a huge wrestling company with an enormous roster of wrestlers. It is a nice idea to think that the company can keep track of everything about everyone around but that is just not a realistic concept. Something is going to get by them at some point and a former top star is now revealing just how much he got away with while part of the company.
AEW’s Bryan Danielson appeared on Moose and Maggie on WFAN (New York) radio and discussed some of his history of injuries. Danielson revealed that he lied to WWE about his injury status after a concussion and eventually the company found out. As a result, Danielson was forced to retire from the ring, as WWE did not feel safe allowing him to wrestle any longer. Danielson was out of the ring from 2015-2018, when he was medically cleared to return.
Bryan does have quite the history. Check out some of the more important moments in his career:

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over twelve years now and have reviewed over 6,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be?
Monday Night Raw
Date: April 23, 2007
Location: Earl’s Court, London, England
Attendance: 12,000
Commentators: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler
It’s a special show as we are in London and it’s time for a Wrestlemania rematch. The main event of this week’s show will see WWE Champion John Cena facing Shawn Michaels in a non-title match. That’s not a bad way to spend Cena’s thirtieth birthday and they can probably do some good stuff. Let’s get to it.
Here is Shane McMahon, seemingly ready for a match, to get things going. Sha..

What could have been. The Money in the Bank briefcase has been around of over sixteen years now and has regularly changed the main event direction in WWE. That was the situation earlier this month when Big E. used the briefcase to become WWE Champion. There are a lot of successful cash-ins, with only a few failures. As it turns out, one of the failures was supposed to go in the other direction.
Aron Stevens, formerly known as Damian Sandow during his time in WWE, was a guest on UnSKripted and revealed that WWE had planned to make him World Heavyweight Champion. Stevens won the Money in the Bank briefcase in 2013 and was scheduled to defeat John Cena to win the title, leading to a feud with former partner Cody Rhodes. Instead, Sandow unsuccessfully cashed in his title shot against Cena on the October 28, 2013 Monday Night Raw. There is no word on why the plans were changed, though Sandow said he was still proud of the match.
There is a lot here. Check out the full interview, plus a lo..

Does anyone like him? There are certain villains in wrestling who almost could not be a good person if they tried. These often make for the best heels in all of wrestling and it can be absolutely great to see some of these people allowed to let loose on the microphone. That is the case with one of the best villains going today but now he has gone another step beyond.
This week’s edition of AEW Dynamite took place in New York City, the hometown of Maxwell Jacob Friedman. As a result, Friedman’s parents showed up at the event, with his mother holding a sign saying “we’re MJF’s parents and we think he sucks too.” Friedman’s father also wore an “I HATE MJF” shirt. Friedman responded with a tweet saying “f*** off mom”. During the show, Friedman defeated Brian Pillman Jr. via submission.
Fuck off mom. https://t.co/MWeV6lOezG
