WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Plans To Return SmackDown Star To Previous Gimmick

He’s back? There are all kinds of ways to present talented wrestlers but not all of them are going to be hits. Occasionally you will see someone go from an idea that works very well to something that just misses and there is little way to predict what is going to happen. That was the case again recently in WWE, but now there is a chance of switching back to what worked before. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s A Fan: Undertaker Endorses His Choice To Defeat Roman Reigns In March 2022, former NXT star Pete Dunne made his full time debut on SmackDown as part of the Brawling Brutes. However, Dunne’s name had been changed to Butch, with his teammates saying that is how they had known him for years. Butch also was now a wild man who would run around the arena and try to fight any opponent he could, unlike his more calm demeanor before the name change. According to WrestleVotes via GiveMeSport, Triple H is planning to return Butch to his former name by the end of the year at the latest. Butch ha..

He’s A Fan: Undertaker Endorses His Choice To Defeat Roman Reigns

That’s some praise. We are less than three weeks away from WrestleMania 39, but we are also more than two and a half years into Roman Reigns’ run as Universal Champion. That is the kind of title reign that you do not see for decades at a time and it is going to take a special showing to end the reign. One legend now has his pick for who should take the title from Reigns. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: She’s In: Former WWE And Impact Wrestling Star Makes Surprise AEW Debut Cody Rhodes won the men’s Royal Rumble match back in January, guaranteeing him a shot at the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania 39. In an interview with Ariel Helwani on BT Sports, Undertaker said that someone has to stop Reigns, saying it has to be someone WWE trusts to not “flake off and do something”. Undertaker went on to call Rhodes the “logical guy” while also naming Sami Zayn as a dark horse. Reigns vs. Rhodes for the title is set for Night Two of WrestleMania 39 on April 2. They might have something her..

Another One: Update On Gable Steveson, Possible Major Delay To WWE Career

That could slow things down. There are all kinds of reasons for a wrestler to not be able to get in the ring and some of them are more serious than others. You never know when you might see someone having to sit out a good deal of time before they can have a major match and that can make things a lot more complicated. Now it seems to be slowing down the debut of a top WWE prospect. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Undertaker Reveals Surprising Name Considered To End The Streak Back in 2021, WWE officially announced the signing of Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson. While Steveson has made some appearances and was even Drafted by Monday Night Raw, he has yet to actually wrestle a match in WWE. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Steveson is talking about returning to amateur wrestling and attempting to win another Olympic gold medal in 2024. There is no word on if he has made a decision how WWE would react to Steveson making such an attempt. The 2024 Olympic Games take plac..

WATCH: Undertaker Reveals Surprising Name Considered To End The Streak

What could have been. There are all kinds of records and accomplishments in WWE history but only a few stand out above the rest. These are the moments and triumphs that are remembered for years to come and it can mean a lot to see one of them either reached or ended. Perhaps the most famous one cane to an end about nine years ago, but it was almost much sooner. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Battle Continues: WWE Interested In Star Who Appeared On AEW Dynamite At WrestleMania 30 in 2014, the Undertaker’s 21-0 undefeated streak at WrestleMania came to an end. The Streak, which began in 1991, had seen Undertaker defeat several future Hall of Famers and win multiple World Titles at WrestleMania. However, in an interview with Ariel Helwani on BT Sport, Undertaker revealed that there had been other names considered to break the Streak. This included Vladimir Kozlov, as well as Edge, the latter of whom refused to do it because of his respect for what the Streak meant. Undertaker did not learn ..

REVIEW: WrestleMania 29: Round Two

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 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? Wrestlemania XXIX Date: April 7, 2013 Location: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey Attendance: 80,676 Commentators: Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, John Bradshaw Layfield It’s Rock vs. John Cena II and I don’t think you need to hear anything else about the main event. With that match out of the way, the biggest name left is the Undertaker, who will be facing CM Punk in a match that might have been better had it been for the title. This time it’s personal though, as Paul Bearer had recently passed away, leaving ..

WATCH: Two WWE Stars Appear In Separate Super Bowl Commercials

That’s a big stage. While wrestlers are celebrities who are on national television every week, there is a limit to how big most of them are going to become. That can be seen when these stars are rarely involved in any mainstream media appearances. Every so often you see something a little more surprising and now that has happened again, in one of the most prominent places available. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: RUMOR KILLER On Mercedes Mone’s New Japan Payday Two WWE names appeared in Super Bowl commercials this weekend. First, Logan Paul appeared in a commercial for his Prime sports drink. The clip included footage of Paul in WWE, including his frog splash to Miz at Summerslam 2022. Second, Undertaker appeared in a Draftkings ad, featuring a number of other sports celebrities, including Tony Hawk and David Ortiz, among others. Undertaker was in his full gear and acknowledged by his ring name. They were certainly different. Check out the ads, plus WWE’s Super Bowl ad: [This post contains..

REVIEW: No Way Out 2006: The Dream Match

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 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? No Way Out 2006 Date: February 19, 2006 Location: 1st Mariner Arena, Baltimore, Maryland Attendance: 11,000 Commentators: Michael Cole, Tazz For the first time in a long time, we have a pay per view that has my interest. Smackdown has gotten a lot better in a hurry, but they need the big spectacular to make it work. With Wrestlemania coming up, this could be a great way to get the momentum going, and hopefully that’s what happens here. I’m sure Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton and Booker T. vs...

Ouch: NXT Star Suffers Detached Retina During Attack Earlier This Week

That’s a nasty one. There are all kinds of injuries in the wrestling world and you never want to see any of them happen to someone at any time. They can keep someone out of action for any span of time and unfortunately there is no way to guarantee that they don’t happen. Now another one has happened to a prominent star, but thankfully it might sound worse than it really is. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: From The Man: Undertaker Reveals What He Said To Bray Wyatt At Raw XXX This week on NXT, Ilja Dragunov made a surprise return after missing several weeks of action. Dragunov chased off JD McDonagh, who put him on the shelf in the first place. McDonagh has since posted a photo of his face to Twitter, revealing that he suffered a detached retina in his right eye, which he blames on Dragunov. As a result, he will be missing live events and estimates a 10-14 day recovery time, though he is waiting on a treatment plan. .@WWENXT fans attending Live Events in Tampa/Citrus Springs this weekend – Un..

From The Man: Undertaker Reveals What He Said To Bray Wyatt At Raw XXX

Words matter. There are certain stars in WWE history who are bigger names than others, to the point where they are deemed legends. Those are the people who are going to get attention no matter what they are doing and it can make a big difference to have them around. Most of those appearances are saved for special events, such as the recent Raw XXX. Now we know a detail about what happened on the show. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Take Your Time: NXT Star To Miss TV Time After Violent Attack One of the names who appeared at Raw XXX was the Undertaker, who confronted LA Knight and threw him to Bray Wyatt, who left Knight laying. Undertaker and Wyatt then had a staredown, with Undertaker whispering something to him. During an appearance on Tim & Friends, Undertaker revealed that he was always available for Wyatt if he ever wanted to talk or had questions. There is no word on when Undertaker will appear for WWE again. It was a cool moment. Check out the interview, the staredown and Undertaker..

They’re Up? Former NXT Champions Make Main Roster Debuts

They might be next. NXT is in a unique situation in the wrestling world as its purpose is to repopulate the WWE main roster. Therefore, despite being a wrestling show on national television, NXT exists for its wrestlers to move up to the next level. You can occasionally see a sign that a wrestler is moving up and that might be taking place again with a pair of NXT stars. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Kurt Angle Kisses Undertaker At WWE Live Event, Undertaker Isn’t Happy According to PWInsider.com, Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson/Elton Prince) will be working this weekend’s WWE live events. This will be the team’s main roster debut, though there is no word on if they will be called up anytime soon. Pretty Deadly are currently feuding with New Day over the NXT Tag Team Titles, having lost the titles to New Day last month at Deadline. The team is rather unique. Check out the two of them at their best: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [T..

WATCH: Kurt Angle Kisses Undertaker At WWE Live Event, Undertaker Isn’t Happy

It got his attention. Wrestlers have to be in the ring quite a few times every week, many of which are not going to be seen by a majority of the fans. With several events taking place just in front of the live fans, wrestlers need to do something to keep things interesting, or at least entertaining. That is something that was done at one point between two legends, one of whom was not pleased. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: On The Market: Former NXT Star Free Agent, WWE And More Companies Interested During a recent edition of the Kurt Angle Show, Kurt Angle told a story of a match with the Undertaker in Japan. Following the match, Angle told Undertaker that they should hug, which Undertaker did. As they did, Angle kissed Undertaker on the lips, leaving Undertaker livid as Angle left. Undertaker said that it was a long flight home, with Angle saying that it was the only time he saw Undertaker laugh. This was a weird one. Check out what happened, plus the two in more natural circumstances: [T..

….What? Former WWE Writer Reveals Bizarre Ideas That Didn’t Make It Very Far

It would be an idea. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestling story and some of them can be issues fans can relate to. At the same time though, there are some stories that are a little bit more outside of reality, as you would not be likely to see them take place in most people’s lives. Now we are hearing about some pitched ideas in WWE that would fit either list. Former WWE writer Brian Gerwitz took to Twitter in response to recent “discussed” Royal Rumble plans. Gerwitz revealed some ideas that were “discussed” during his time with the company. Gerwitz mentioned two stories, neither of which ever made it to television. First up, there was an idea pitched of Vince McMahon having a midlife crisis, resulting in him growing a beard, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and singing Black Eyed Peas songs. The other idea would have involved Kaval, better known as Low Ki, revealed as Undertaker’s long lost son. There is no word on how close WWE came to using either idea. Things “discussed” i..

WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Considers Special Legend Shows For WrestleMania 39

Bring them on in. We are rapidly approaching the start of the Road To WrestleMania 39 and that means it is time to get ready for the biggest events of the year. WWE puts on some of the most important shows of the year over WrestleMania weekend, but not all of them take place in the ring. Now it seems that the company is planning some more events in addition to their regular wrestling cards. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Other Way: WWE Makes Another Policy Change (And This One Might Not Be So Popular) According to WrestleVotes, WWE wants additional interactive shows throughout WrestleMania weekend. These shows would be similar to Undertaker’s 1DeadMan show, with fans participating and the featured star telling stories. Shows featuring Steve Austin and Trish Stratus have been discussed but there is nothing to suggest that anything has been finalized. WrestleMania 39 is scheduled for April 1 and 2, 2023. I’m told WWE is looking into having additional shows throughout WrestleMania weekend ..
