It came from the source. It had been previously reported that the Bella Twins were officially leaving WWE for good and had rebranded themselves as Nikki and Brie Garcia. One of the main questions that has risen is the wrestling future, particularly when it comes to AEW. That question was answered today on Instagram Live, where Nikki confirmed that her and her sister would not be going to AEW. You can see a clip of that below: Nikki and Brie Garcia are not going to AEW. pic.twitter.com/PkzCosyUER — Wrestling News (@WrestlingNewsCo) March 15, 2023 Garcia also mentioned that there was fan speculation that things have soured between both them and WWE. She said it seems that way because of “everything in the past” but there are no hard feelings. Editor’s Opinion: I’ll take the Garcias at their word, as they have absolutely no reason to taint their legacy by going to AEW. That being said, it wouldn’t surprise me if Tony Khan threw a bunch of money at them to get a major pop for one nig..
Time to move on. Nikki and Brie Bella announced on their Sirius XM show, The Nikki & Brie Show, that they are officially leaving WWE and will now be known as ‘The Garcia Twins’. They also posted the following video on Twitter: Hi I’m Nikki Garcia, Hi I’m Brie Garcia. And we’re the Garcia Twins. ???? Welcome to our next chapter! ?????????????? pic.twitter.com/w6GQM0P7Zi — Nikki & Brie (@NikkiAndBrie) March 14, 2023 From People Magazine, who exclusively broke the story: Nikki further explained that dropping their Bella identities was difficult, but the women feel it’s time to embrace a “new chapter” in their lives. “We’re going to be 40 in November,” Nikki explains, adding that they’re both now enjoying life as mothers, entrepreneurs, hosts, and executive producers. When it was time for them to renew their contract with the WWE, Nikki explains that they “just knew it was time to head into this next chapter.” Brie adds she’s “so excited to close the chapter on Brie Bella” and open ..
They aren’t happy. This week’s WWE Monday Night Raw was a special edition focusing on thirty years of the show. That is the kind of milestone that no wrestling show reaches, especially not as one of the biggest wrestling shows in the world throughout its run. It meant something to be associated with the show and now two legends are taking issue with something that wasn’t involved. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Dem Boy? Update On Mark Briscoe Possibly Appearing On AEW TV The Bella Twins had been previously advertised for Raw XXX but were later removed and ultimately did not appear on the show. The Twins recorded a live Instagram stream after the show was over, talking about how there was little mention of the Women’s Revolution and saying WWE could not mention Mercedes Mone (Sasha Banks) because she is too popular. There is no word on why the two were pulled from the show. They might have a point. Check out what the Twins said, plus their time on Monday Night Raw: [This post contains video..
It’s a bit of everything. There are all kinds of major events every year on the WWE calendar and some of them are a lot more interesting than others. While there are several shows that the company runs every year, you also see some one off specials that WWE gets to run on special occasions. We are coming up on another one of those next week and WWE has stacked the lineup. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: That Would Be Good: WWE Offers Possible Hint At Upcoming Title Feud Next week, WWE will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of Monday Night Raw with Raw XXX. There are now multiple title matches, a grudge match and a special segment announced, in addition to the legends making appearances. As confirmed this week on Monday Night Raw, the following has been announced for the show: Raw Tag Team Titles: Usos(c) vs. Judgment Day United States Title: Austin Theory (c) vs. Bobby Lashley Steel Cage Match: Bayley vs. Becky Lynch Roman Reigns Acknowledgment Ceremony In addition, names such as the Bella..
A different look. There are a lot of different wrestlers on any given roster, but some of them are even more unique as their significant other is also involved in the wrestling business. You do not see that happening very often, but it can make for a rather interesting subject. It might be interesting enough to take a special look at them, which is what WWE may be trying to do. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Planning Huge Brock Lesnar Match For WrestleMania 39 According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has been in talks with the E Network about a reality show based around wrestling couples. WWE is reportedly looking for “legitimate” wrestling couples, though it is not known who might be included in the series. There is also no word on if the series has been finalized, though WWE and E do have a history together with Total Divas and Total Bellas. WWE has done romance angles before. Check out some of the better ones: [This post contains video, click to play] ..
She’s back! Tonight on Smackdown, Sarah Logan made her return to WWE after being away from regular programming for over two years. Logan had been teased in recent vignettes with The Viking Raiders, and officially allied herself with the team on tonight’s show. You can see a clip of her return below: [This post contains video, click to play] After The Viking Raiders attacked both Hit Row and Legado Del Fantasma prior to their match against each other, Logan made her way down the entrance ramp and went after B Fab. She would then officially join the Radiers to end the segment. Logan was released from her WWE contract on April 15, 2020, due to budget cuts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that was beginning to emerge. She made a surprise return at the 2022 Royal Rumble earlier this year, entering the match at number 25 and briefly reuniting with Liv Morgan. She lasted only 43 seconds, until she was eliminated by The Bella Twins. Editor’s Opinion: Yes! This is awesome! I have alw..
He really is gone. Last month, Vince McMahon officially retired from WWE in one of the biggest stories in wrestling history. McMahon led the company for the better part of forty years and has been the driving force behind everything WWE has done. Such a change is going to take some time to get used to, but now another McMahon related change has taken place behind the scenes. According to PWInsider.com, McMahon’s name has been removed from the company’s internal roster. McMahon had been listed along with names such as John Cena and the Bella Twins, who were not part of the active roster but could appear on any show. This is the latest step to getting rid of McMahon’s presence in WWE, after the backstage references to his name were removed last week. Opinion: This is the new reality that WWE is facing and it is almost hard to believe that McMahon is being erased so fast. I know he didn’t leave on the best of terms, but to get rid of so many things that he has done and been associated w..
You need to bring someone in. One of the biggest WWE stories over the last few years has been the amount of releases the company has made. WWE has let all kinds of wrestlers go and the roster is far more sparse than it was before. At some point WWE needs to bring someone else in, which is what they are doing now, albeit from a sport outside of professional wrestling. Former Bellator fighter Valerie Loureda has announced that she has signed a deal with WWE. Loureda is the first Cuban American woman in WWE and wanted to represent Latin culture. This comes after Loureda trained in the WWE Performance Center back in May, leading to speculation that she could sign with WWE. There is no word on when she will start working for WWE full time. I am honored to become the first Cuban American woman in history to sign with the WWE. I come from a family of immigrants, now it’s my time to represent our Latin culture, I was destined for this. Thank you for this opportunity @WWE @WWENXT I will make ..
There is a history there. Wrestling has a history of bringing in athletes from other sports and seeing how much success they can have. It is something that has worked well for decades and will continue to do the same for years to come. One of the sports with a solid track record is mixed martial arts, and now WWE is trying their hand with another fighter coming over to wrestling. According to Fightful Select, WWE is expected to sign Bellator fighter Valerie Loureda. This comes after Loureda, a fighter with a 3-1 career record, spent a week at the WWE Performance Center and impressed the company. WWE is hoping to have Loueda start her official training at the Performance Center in July. There is no word on when she could start regularly appearing in WWE. Opinion: It makes sense for WWE to try signing another mixed martial artist as they certainly have a history of success with them. Why not see what you can find out there? WWE has found stars such as Riddle, Brock Lesnar, Shayna Baszl..
The interest is there. The wrestling world has been around for a very long time and there have been all kinds of larger than life characters throughout. Several of these people are worth looking at again as you can find some fascinating stories. Some of those stories have been looked at many of them and now we will be seeing even more of them in the near future. A&E has announced the second season of Biography: WWE Legends, which will begin on July 10. The second season will include episodes on: Undertaker Bella Twins WrestleMania Goldberg Rey Mysterio Kurt Angle Lex Luger Edge D-Generation X A pair of new series were officially announced as well. First up is WWE Rivals, which will feature a look at famous WWE rivalries throughout history. Second is WWE Smack Talk, which will feature a look back at the two episodes from earlier in the night. All three shows will air in a weekly block. There is a lot here. Check out the trailer for the three series: [This post contains video, click..
Oh dear. This weekend, WWE will induct the latest class into the company’s Hall of Fame. That is one of the more nights of the year as WWE gets to honor their legends and allows them to speak about their careers. The audience is a who’s who of WWE wrestlers, but there are going to be some generation gaps here and there. It seems that is the case again between two Hall of Famers. In a since deleted video from the Bella Twins YouTube channel, Nikki Bella said she was looking forward to Vader taking the stage and giving his WWE Hall of Fame induction speech. However, Vader passed away in 2018 and is being inducted posthumously. There is no word on who will be accepting the induction on Vader’s behalf. The Bella Twins were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2020. Opinion: While I don’t think Bella meant anything malicious by what she said, this doesn’t exactly make for the best visual. At the end of the day, Vader passing away is something that she probably should..
It’s a spot. Wrestlers are in a weird place when it comes to celebrity status. Yes they are famous and people who are on television every single week, but ultimately they are known for one thing and one thing only. Every now and then you get to see someone move into another area and get exposure on a new stage. That is the case again with a soon to be returning WWE star. According to Yahoo News, WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella has been announced for the upcoming FOX celebrity competition show The Real Dirty Dancing. Bella will be part of the cast, which also includes Corbin Bleu, Tyler Cameron, Cat Cora, Howie Dorough, Antonio Gates, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes and Loni Love. The show debuts on February 1, three days after Bella is returning to the ring as part of the women’s Royal Rumble on January 29. Opinion: Bella is one of the wrestlers who has managed to make it to a certain level of success outside of wrestling and a lot of that is due to her reality show efforts. If nothing else, at l..
Monday Night Raw Date: January 17, 2022 Location: BOK Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton We are less than two weeks away from the Royal Rumble and that means it is time for the card to be finalized. Last week saw Doudrop become the #1 contender for the Raw Women’s Title in what should at least be a fresh match. Other than that, we could use some more names being added to the namesake matches. Let’s get to it. Here is Becky Lynch to get things going. She knows the Royal Rumble is coming up and it is time for some big names to come back for the Big Time. People like Lita, Mickie James and the Bella Twins are here, but for now, it is time to deal with Doudrop. Last week, Becky got Doudrop her title shot, which is what she does. That’s the only way Doudrop could get her shot, but here is Doudrop to say she got everything on her own. Becky says follow her lead and you could win tonight. Cue Bianca Belair doing her dance and saying she’s in the Ru..
There is most of the field. We are less than a month away from the Royal Rumble and that means it is time to start getting the fields put together. There are sixty slots to be filled and only a handful of names have already been announced. That can make for some interesting announcements and we got a ton of them all in a row, including more than one Hall of Famer, and a big surprise. This week on SmackDown, Charlotte announced nineteen entrants for the women’s Royal Rumble match: Rhea Ripley Nikki Ash Nikki Bella Brie Bella Shotzi Natalya Michelle McCool Dana Brooke Carmella Queen Zelina Mickie James Tamina Kelly Kelly Aliyah Summer Rae Naomi Shayna Baszler Lita Charlotte The Bella Twins and Lita are all retired and have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. James is currently the reigning Impact Wrestling Knockouts Champion, which was acknowledged by commentary. Charlotte will be the first reigning champion to enter the Women’s Royal Rumble. There is no word on if any other entr..
