It’s a Hall Of Fame thing. Wrestling has a history of working with celebrities and it has been a mixed bag over the years. There are several celebrities who are there for the sake of promoting their latest project and nothing more, while there are occasionally celebrities there for their love of wrestling (among other things). The latter was the case this week and a WWE legend got involved as a result. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Tag Team Splits On NXT In Mid-Match Betrayal Bad Bunny, who has worked with WWE multiple times in the past and is set to host this year’s Backlash, was a guest on the Late Late Show this week. During the interview, wrestling was brought up, resulting in Bunny bringing out Rey Mysterio. Host James Corden then faced Mysterio in a match, where he was quickly defeated. Mysterio is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame later this month. Kind of one sided. Check out the match (the wrestling portion begins at around 11:00), plus Bunny and Mysterio in WWE:..
It’s an interesting choice. It had been previously reported that Rey Mysterio will be given the ultimate honor within WWE, and become a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, Class of 2023. But who will be the one to induct Mysterio? According to a report from Dave Meltzer, former WCW superstar Konnan will do the honors of bringing Mysterio into the Hall of Fame. From Wrestling News: Konnan was the most obvious choice because they have been close for decades, dating back to Rey and Konnan’s early days in the wrestling business. This might be Konnan’s first appearance at a major WWE event. Konnan wrestled briefly as Max Moon on non-televised matches in 1992 but those matches never aired and he left the company before the character debuted on TV with Paul Diamond playing the role. Konnan will be inducting Rey into the Hall of Fame. Rey asked for him and the company approved it. As noted last night, to me it was the only choice. — Dave Meltzer (@davemeltzerWON) March 11, 2023 Editor’s Opin..
New royalty will be crowned. WWE has issued the following press release, announcing the 2023 King and Queen of the Ring event: The General Entertainment Authority, in cooperation with WWE, has announced that WWE King and Queen Of The Ring will be held at the Jeddah Superdome, the world’s largest pillarless Superdome, on Saturday, May 27, 2023. WWE King and Queen Of The Ring is happening in Jeddah, alongside a host of additional exciting events happening in Jeddah throughout the year. This marks the first King Of The Ring Premium Live Event to be held since 2015 and the first crowning of a Queen since the inaugural Queen’s Crown Tournament which took place at WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh in 2021. More details on WWE King and Queen Of The Ring will be announced in the coming weeks. Editor’s Opinion: This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody, as this event was wildly successful in the past. I love the fact that they are bringing back this classic event, and, including both men and w..
Mark your calendars. WWE is quite the international wrestling promotion and runs major events in different countries around the world. Most of these take place fairly at random, but there are two that you can pencil in just about every year. Those would be the two events that take place in Saudi Arabia every year, and now we might know some more about the next one. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LOOK: Bray Wyatt Changes Up His Appearance In A Weird Way On SmackDown Earlier this week, a new report announced that WWE was bringing back King Of The Ring as a stand alone event, with the Queen Of The Ring tournament taking place on the same night. According to PWInsider Elite, the event will be held in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, May 27. WWE’s most recent Saudi Arabia show was Crown Jewel in November 2022. This is Memorial day weekend, which is when AEW normally holds its Double Or Nothing event, though this year’s edition has not yet been announced. There have been some great King Of The Ring mome..
They had a plan for that. We are less than forty days away from WrestleMania 39 and WWE has set up the main event. Cody Rhodes is set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title, but there is a bit of a wild card in the whole situation. That would be Sami Zayn, who has become one of the most popular stars in WWE. It seems that the company had a way to deal with the situation though and it was on display this week. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Bringing Back Classic Event This Year This week on Monday Night Raw, Rhodes came to the ring to discuss his match with Reigns but was almost immediately interrupted by Paul Heyman. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, this was done to prevent the fans from being able to chant for Zayn. WWE felt that if Zayn’s name dominated the segment, it would diminish Rhodes’ momentum. Reigns defeated Zayn in a title defense at Elimination Chamber. It was a smart moment. Check out the promo, plus Zayn and Rhodes in acti..
Mark your calendars. On average, WWE runs one Premium Live Event a month and you can usually pencil in a lot of the events. Some shows have been run n the same months for years now and there is nothing to suggest that they will be changing anytime soon. Occasionally you will see something else slip in though and that might be the case with a returning event. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Maybe? Pat McAfee Explains Uncertainty About WWE Future Following Company Sale Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston is reporting that multiple sources have confirmed WWE will present Backlash on May 6 and King & Queen Of The Ring on May 27. WWE has not yet announced either show. Backlash, which has been called WrestleMania Backlash in recent years, is regularly the next major event after WrestleMania. King Of The Ring has been held on and off for several years, though it has only been a stand alone event once since 2002. Queen Of The Ring has never been held, though WWE did hold a Queen’s Crown tournament in 202..
There had to be a limit. One of the bigger wrestling stories over the last several months has been the return of several former WWE stars to the company. WWE released well over 100 wrestlers from their contracts over the previous year and a half, but now the Triple H regime has brought several of them back. However, things might be changing a bit as we move forward. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They Deserve It: WWE Hypes Several Records Broken At Elimination Chamber Earlier this month, a report said that WWE was negotiating with the Authors of Pain and Paul Ellering about a return to the company. However, according to Fightful Select, other than those returns, “things have been quiet” on the returns front. There is no word on if WWE is interested in bringing back more names or if the company has run out of wrestlers they want to have return. There have been some big returns. Check out some of the better ones: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to..
So maybe not? One of the biggest wrestling stories over the last year has been the return of several former WWE stars. After multiple years of mass releases, a bunch of the former WWE wrestlers have been brought back into the company. These returning stars have had varying levels of success but now we know a little more about their internal reception with possibly the most important person around. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Interested In Bringing In Two Former World Champions Back in December, a rumor speculated that WWE COO Triple H was unhappy with some of the stars who had been brought back into the company. However, in an update from Fightful Select, if there is any truth to this, WWE officials are downplaying the idea. It is said that even if Triple H were disappointed, he would never make this known, either publicly or privately. The wrestlers were said to be brought back to add depth to the roster, though some, such as Bronson Reed and Johnny Gargano, will be..
They have people in mind. There are some very talented wrestlers on the WWE roster, but there are also several top names outside of the company’s circle. WWE will occasionally try to bring some of these names in, which can make for some very interesting moments. Now it seems that WWE is interested in a few names, with one of them appearing to be a bit further along. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Bayley Attends Mercedes Mone’s First New Japan Match, Helps Lead Cheers According to WrestleVotes by way of GiveMeSport, Triple H has asked the WWE creative team to start coming up with ideas in case the company is able to sign Jay White. In addition, Kota Ibushi was also brought up as a possible free agent during a meeting in January. White reportedly finished up with New Japan over the weekend and Ibushi wrestled in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic. Those are some talented stars. Check out the two of them in action: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click..
It’s a different job. Managers have been around wrestling for decades and they have long since served an important purpose. A manager often serves as a wrestler’s mouthpiece and gets the fans to care about him more than the wrestler can make happen on their own. Occasionally an on-screen manager has some off-screen responsibilities and now a former WWE manager might be helping some old clients. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Could be Worse: Update On Montez Ford’s Health After WWE Elimination Chamber Earlier this year, reports surfaced saying that WWE had an interest in bringing the Authors of Pain back to the company. According to Fightful Select, the team has a strong sense of loyalty to their former manager Paul Ellering, who would actually be negotiating any possible return. Ellering managed the team in NXT but they were split when the team debuted on Monday Night Raw. The team was quite the force. Check out some of their time in WWE: [This post contains video, click to play] [This p..
It’s the last big stop on the Road To Wrestlemania and for a five match card, four of them are big and the fifth includes some Hall of Famers. This show is pretty much stacked with either big matches or the awesome sounding main event. While the show is called Elimination Chamber, the whole thing is about Roman Reigns defending the World Title against hometown boy Sami Zayn. Let’s get to it. Edge/Beth Phoenix vs. Finn Balor/Rhea Ripley Somehow this is the least important match on the show as Edge’s war against the Judgment Day continues. In this case, he is bringing in the wife to go after Ripley, who is on her way to WrestleMania. This should be a good, long tag match as all four can do well in a spot like this one. That being said, it doesn’t help that this feels like it is only there to set up something at Wrestlemania. I’ll take Judgment Day here, as Ripley pinning Phoenix would make her look like a bigger deal on what could be her path to the main event of the first night of Wre..
Yeah he’s big. AEW has accomplished a lot of things over its short history, but the biggest might be bringing so many new names to a much higher level. Fans have been exposed to various wrestlers who might never have gotten a chance otherwise and that has shaken up the wrestling world a bit. WWE has seen them as well, and now it seems that they have their eye on a top AEW name. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They’re Next? WWE Reportedly Plans Callup For One Of These NXT Stars Jay White seems to be on his way out of New Japan Pro Wrestling, having lost a Loser Leaves Japan match and being set for a match where he cannot wrestle for the promotion again should he loser. However, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is reportedly interested in bringing in an even bigger name. According to Wrestlingnews.co, that name would be former AEW World Champion Kenny Omega, whose AEW contract is reportedly set to expire soon. However, according to Fightful Select, there is the chance that A..
That’s a different way to go. Late last year, Bray Wyatt returned to WWE television after a year and a half absence. Since then, he has developed a still somewhat confusing relationship with a masked man named Uncle Howdy and defeated LA Knight in a match at the Royal Rumble. That still feels like a warmup for Wyatt, and now we might have an idea of where he is going next. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Slight Shift: WWE Reportedly Changed Plans For Trish Stratus’ Return, Still Set For Comeback This week on SmackDown, Wyatt and Howdy interrupted a Hit Row promo and took out the team. After, Wyatt said that he was back in control of his mind before bringing up Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley at Elimination Chamber. Wyatt said that whoever won the match should be ready to run, suggesting that the winner would be facing Wyatt at some point in the future. Neither Lashley nor Lesnar have ever faced Wyatt in a singles match. This could be interesting. Check out the comments, plus who Wyatt is comi..
Yeah she’ll do. With WrestleMania 39 just over a month away, WWE is starting to put together some of its plans for the biggest show of the year. That can include a variety of changes, including bringing in some names from the past for special appearances. It seems that WWE had to scrap such a plan for one reason or another, but now we know more of what they had in mind. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: She Has A Goal: Bayley Vents About Her WrestleMania History, Makes Promise For This Year According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE Hall Of Famer Trish Stratus was scheduled to appear on the February 13 Monday Night Raw but the plan was canceled. While not confirmed, the change was rumored to be due to Dakota Kai’s injury. Stratus is still expected to return, though the planned match for WrestleMania 39 still calls for Damage Ctrl to defend the Women’s Tag Team Titles against Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler. There is no word on how Stratus might be used. Stratus has done a lot at Wrest..
That would be a change. You never know when you might see someone return to WWE after a long hiatus and it can make for quite the fun moment. Occasionally someone will pop in after a long hiatus and find something new to do in the company. That was the case back at the Royal Rumble and now it seems that one of the returning superstars might be bringing someone with her. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Uh Oh: Backstage Belief On Vince McMahon’s Involvement With WWE Sale Chelsea Green made her surprise return to WWE in the Women’s Royal Rumble and has since continued to appear on the main roster, portraying a “Karen” like character. As shown by a fan in a tweet, Green’s entrance graphics contain an RS logo, which is the same logo for the Robert Stone brand in NXT. Green is a former member of the Robert Stone Brand before being called up to the main roster for the first time. There has been no mention of Stone on the main roster and no word on when or if he might debut. Not the robert stone bra..
They worked well the first time. WWE has been around for a very long time and has a deep history. The company has done a lot of things over the years, with some of them being rather memorable. Those moments are often things that only happened once due to one reason or another, but now WWE might be bringing back some of the most memorable vignettes they have ever done. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: WWE Star Teases Major Turn After SmackDown Goes Off The Air Back in 2005, WrestleMania 21 was held in Los Angeles, California, with a theme of WrestleMania Goes Hollywood. To help build the show, WWE released several parody movie trailers, featuring stars portraying famous movie characters. According to WrestleVotes, WWE is planning to create more of the parody trailers for this year’s show. Miz, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, the Brawling Brutes and the Street Profits are expected to be involved. WrestleMania 39 takes place on April 1 and 2. I’m hearing WWE has begun filming brand new “movie par..
That’s a lot of money. WWE is a company that makes more money than it knows what to do with most of the time and that has put them in a very strong spot. They know how to bring in all kinds of money and often find new ways of doing so. The company is willing to accept almost any method of bringing in extra money and now we know how they did so again recently. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LOOK: Bray Wyatt/Uncle Howdy Storyline Gets Even More Confusing At WWE Live Event Last month at the Royal Rumble, WWE presented the Pitch Black match between Bray Wyatt and LA Knight, presented by Mountain Dew. The match saw both wrestlers wrestling in neon gear with the lights turned down and several mentions of the drink. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the match was a “million dollar deal” for WWE. A WWE executive has already announced that another sponsored match will take place at WrestleMania 39 without giving any details. Mountain Dew got a lot out of this. Check out how things went for them..
