Some new information may give some clues as to why this happened. According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, Wyatt has an undisclosed “physical issue” and is currently out of action. It is unknown at this time. What exactly the issue is, and how long he will be away from WWE.

It’s On: Hell In A Cell Match Set For WrestleMania 39

That’s a big one. We are less than three weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and the show is already starting to come together. There are several matches already set for the show but with two nights to fill, a lot more will need to be done. This can include matches that are not held under your typical rules, and now another one has been added to the card with some of the biggest stipulations WWE has to offer.

Bray Wyatt Misses Weekend MSG WWE Live Event, Not Around As Much Lately For most of the last year, Edge has been involved in a feud with the Judgment Day, often with only his wife Beth Phoenix helping him. Last month, Finn Balor challenged Edge to a match at WrestleMania and this week, Edge accepted. After saying yes, Edge said that he wanted the match to be inside Hell In A Cell, with Balor accepting. This will be the third Hell In A Cell match in WrestleMania history and the first since WrestleMania 32 in 2016. They have something to live up to. Chec..

Uh Oh? Bray Wyatt Misses Weekend MSG WWE Live Event, Not Around As Much Lately

That might be something. We are less than three weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and that means the biggest stars in the company are going to be on display in some of the show’s top stories. It would make sense to have them around as often as possible, but now one of the most well known names in WWE today seems to be missing in action, both from television and from a live event.

WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Considering Two Huge Backlash Main Events

You need a followup. We are less than a month away from WrestleMania 39, which will include some of the biggest matches and moments of the year. Some of the top matches will have a major impact on what WWE does for the next several months, if not that much longer. However, there is a lot going on after the show is over and now we have an idea of what to expect. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Long Move: Interesting Note On WWE’s Change To Premium Live Events According to Xero News, WWE is considering two main events for Backlash, the next Premium Live Event after WrestleMania 39. The first option would see Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title. There is no word on who would be champion going into the match. The other option would be Rhodes teaming with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn to face Reigns and the Usos in a non-title match. There is no word on which way WWE is leaning. Backlash is set for March 6 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. As of recently, ..

The Long Move: Interesting Note On WWE’s Change To Premium Live Events

It’s a good change. WWE has been around for decades and over the years, the company has built up a variety of traditions. Several of these have come and gone, but there are some things that are almost hard to imagine changing. That can make for some jarring moments when the switches do happen, but now we are seeing the reception to one such change. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: That’s Different: WWE Makes Huge Announcement About Backlash, Bad Bunny Set For Major Role For decades, WWE has mainly presented its Premium Live Events on Sunday nights with very few exceptions. However, in recent years, WWE has begun presenting such events on Saturdays as well. According to Fightful Select, WWE sources have said that the change in schedule has been viewed as positive. There is no word on what caused WWE to make the change or if it will continue going forward. They have gone well. Check out some Saturday events: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] ..

That’s Different: WWE Makes Huge Announcement About Backlash, Bad Bunny Set For Major Role

They’re going. WWE runs several events a year and some of them are among the biggest wrestling cards anywhere. Getting to see one in person is a pretty rare treat as they only come to certain areas. It means a lot to have a show go somewhere else for the first time ever or even in a long time. That is what WWE is now planning to do for the first time in eighteen years. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LOOK: Liv Morgan Appears At New York Knicks Game, Gives Man The Cold Shoulder WWE has announced that this year’s Backlash will take place on May 6 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In addition, Bad Bunny will be serving as the show’s host. This will be the first time that WWE has run a Premium Live Event in Puerto Rico since New Year’s Revolution 2005. This also marks a return to the Backlash name, after the last two events were called WrestleMania Backlash. WWE has a history with Puerto Rico. Check out some of the people and matches from the island: [This p..

LOOK: Liv Morgan Appears At New York Knicks Game, Gives Man The Cold Shoulder

She’s not having it. Wrestlers are celebrities in a unique way, as while they are certainly known to the public, they are rarely known for anything but their time in the ring. That does not offer them many options for getting their name out there otherwise, but it does happen occasionally. Now we are seeing it again as a WWE star had a moment that is likely to get her noticed. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Hi There: International Star Makes Official WWE Debut Liv Morgan was a guest at Tuesday’s New York Knicks game in Madison Square Garden to promote WWE’s upcoming live event in the same venue. During the night, Morgan was acknowledged as a guest of the team and presented with a customized Knicks jersey with her name on the back. Also during the night, Morgan was shown watching the game while a fan spoke to her, but she barely acknowledged anything he said. The Knicks’ Twitter account shared the clip, saying Morgan definitely did not hear a word of what was said to her. View this post on I..

Hi There: International Star Makes Official WWE Debut

He’s in. WWE is a truly international wrestling company, with a worldwide audience and live events taking place throughout the world. They have all kinds of countries represented on their roster as well, with wrestlers of several nationalities up and down the card. That list has grown recently and now another international star has officially been seen on WWE television. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Right Here, Right Now: Independent Tag Team Sends WWE Cease And Desist Letters Over Name International star Dragon Lee was shown in the crowd this week on NXT. Lee, who announced that he had signed with WWE in December, was listed under the Dragon Lee name. This is similar to how previous new signees debuted in the crowd before.

I love the fact that they are bringing back this classic event, and, including both men and w..

Down Time: WWE Star Injured Following Backstage Attack

It can happen to anyone. You never want to see a wrestler get hurt but it is something that can happen to anyone at any given time. Wrestlers can go from on a roll to having to sit on the sidelines while they heal up. At the same time, you can also have someone get hurt without even noticing it at the same time. That seems to be the case again, as a WWE star is on the injured list. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Gotcha: Surprise Heel Turn Takes Place At AEW Revolution Last week on Monday Night Raw, Candice LeRae defeated Piper Niven in a match. Following the show, Niven attacked LeRae during a backstage interview and laid her out. This week on Monday Night Raw, it was announced that LeRae had suffered a sprained AC joint in her right shoulder. There is no word on when LeRae will return to WWE TV, though she did wrestle at live events over the weekend. This would suggest that the injury is just part of a storyline. LeRae is quite talented when she is around. Check out what she can do in the ..

Two Sports: Current WWE Star Hopes To Compete In Boxing Match

It’s a different sport. Since professional wrestling became a thing, there has been an interest in seeing how other athletes would do if they tried their hand in the ring. This has been the case with all kinds of sports, but now it seems that another wrestler is interested in trying her hand at a sport outside of wrestling. She just won’t have to go far to find the right kind of ring. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Roman Reigns Gets Extra Violent On Sami Zayn At WWE Live Event During an interview with Fightful Select, WWE star Dana Brooke spoke about incorporating boxing training into her wrestling training.

Brooke is a talented star. Check out what she can do in the ring: [This post contains video, click to play] ..

WATCH: Roman Reigns Gets Extra Violent On Sami Zayn At WWE Live Event

It wasn’t over. WWE presents all kinds of wrestling events every year, many of which are aired on national television. At the same time, there are several events that only take place in front of the crowd, with the WWE cameras not rolling. Sometimes you will get to see some of the footage shot by fans though, and that was the case this week, with some big names featured. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Silver Screen: John Cena Set For Villain Role In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Film This weekend, Roman Reigns made a rare appearance at a WWE live event, defeating Sami Zayn to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Title in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Following the match, as shown in footage shot by a fan, Reigns said that Zayn was going to pay for his past actions and then attacked him again. Reigns had previously beaten Zayn in a title match at Elimination Chamber in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was a brutal one. Check out the beating, plus their previous match: [This post contains video, c..

One More: Sami Zayn Getting Another Title Shot Against Roman Reigns

Run it back. Every so often, you will run across a match that is built almost solely on emotion. The build to the match goes so well that by the time it actually rolls around, you almost have to see what happens. That can make for some very special moments and it is even better when you get to see the match take place. Now we are going to get to see the rematch. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s In Charge: Former WWE Champion Set To Host WrestleMania 39 The main event of WWE Elimination Chamber saw Sami Zayn challenging Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title in Zayn’s hometown of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. While Zayn lost, it took some interference for Reigns to retain and the match was close throughout. Now WWE is running the match again, this time at a live event on March 4 at the Coca Cola Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This marks a rare live event appearance for Reigns, who wrestles on a relaxed schedule. JUST ANNOUNCED! Canada’s own @SamiZayn takes on @WWERomanReig..

He’s In Charge: Former WWE Champion Set To Host WrestleMania 39

It’s a gig. WrestleMania has evolved so much over the years that it is almost nothing like what it was when it first started. The show has gone from little more than a really souped up live event to a stadium filling event that takes place over two nights. Things have gotten so much bigger that it needs someone to keep track of them all, which is what we will have again this year. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Monster Fight: New Match Officially Set For WrestleMania 39 This week on Monday Night Raw, the Miz was announced as the host of WrestleMania 39. The announcement came via the envelope that Miz’s wife Maryse gave him last week. After making the announcement, Miz was attacked by Seth Rollins and left laying. WrestleMania has had a host for the last several years, with names such as Hulk Hogan, Alexa Bliss, Bayley and the New Day serving in the role. It is a tradition. Check out what the hosts have done over the years: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains vid..

Monster Fight: New Match Officially Set For WrestleMania 39

That’s a big one. We are less than five weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and the card is rapidly filling up. There are already several title matches and grudge matches set for the show but there are still several names who need something to do on the show. That makes a WrestleMania spot even more important, and now two more of those spots have officially been filled. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Sheamus, Drew McIntyre And Braun Strowman Have Fun At WWE Live Event Last week on Monday Night Raw, MVP issued a challenge for Brock Lesnar to face Omos at WrestleMania.

WATCH: Sheamus, Drew McIntyre And Braun Strowman Have Fun At WWE Live Event

It’s a different kind of show. There are all kinds of WWE events throughout the year and some of them are a bit more personal than the rest. While televised events go in a certain way, live events are much more geared to the crowd and that allows for some more unique moments. That was the situation over the weekend as some WWE stars had a bit of fun before a match. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Plan A: Here Are The Original Plans WWE Title Plans For WrestleMania 39 (They’re Different) Over the weekend, WWE held a live event in Rockford, Illinois, featuring a six man tag match featuring Braun Strowman, Sheamus and Drew McIntyre vs. the Bloodline.

The Bloodline went on to win the match. It was something funny. Check out what Sheamus did and the team in some more serious moments: [This post contain..

Not For Him: 37 Year Old Second Generation Star Reveals Plans For WWE Run

What could have been. There are so many different ways to present a wrestler and some of them have been done many times over the years. A talented performer can make even the most overly done ideas work out well though and it can be interesting to see how they pull it off. Now we know what kind of plans WWE had for a second generation star before letting him go. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Young Fan Helps Seth Rollins In WWE Live Event Match Against Austin Theory Former WWE star Davey Boy Smith Jr. was interviewed by Fightful Select and spoke about his return to WWE in 2021, when he was signed and released in the same year without making a televised appeared. Smith Jr. said that his gimmick would have been the Stampede Stud and he would have worked on SmackDown. Vince McMahon told Smith that his appearance was impressive but Smith said getting into that kind of shape was “costly” for him. While Smith said he would return to WWE, it would only be for the money without his heart bein..

WATCH: Young Fan Helps Seth Rollins In WWE Live Event Match Against Austin Theory

Fan participation. There are a lot of factors in wrestling, but ultimately, the most important thing is to please the audience. If the fans do not care or are not happy with what they are seeing, they are not likely to keep watching later. One of the best ways is to give the fans a connection to what they are watching, which very well may have been the situation at a recent live event. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: What Could Have Been: How WWE Changed Plans For WrestleMania 39 Title Matches WWE ran a live event in Champaign, Illinois on Saturday night, featuring a United States Title match with Austin Theory defending against Seth Rollins. During the match, Rollins sent Theory outside and grabbed his arms. As per Rollins’ request, a young fan hit Theory, who staggered away as a result.
