They’re making this a habit. AEW has a lot of wrestlers but a rather limited amount of television time. The company only had three hours a week between Dynamite and Rampage, which doesn’t leave much time for everyone to get out there. It can be smart to mix it up a little bit and take things outside of the arena for some flavor, and that is what some wrestlers have been doing. Earlier this month, AEW ran an angle at an autograph signing where Brodie King attacked Darby Allin. They ran a similar angle this weekend, where the entire House Of Black attacked Allin during a panel at the San Diego Comic Con. King and Aleister Black both jumped Allin and laid him on a table. This comes after the two sides, with Sting backing Allin up, have faced off on recent editions of AEW TV. It was a different way to go. Check out the House of Black’s latest assault on Allin: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: I could go for more of something like this, as Allin has been decimated mult..
That doesn’t sound good. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to get hurt and some of them can be rather serious. Some of the injuries are things that take place instantly during the course of a match while others are things that build up over time. Then there are the fluke injuries when a wrestler isn’t even active in the ring. One of the top stars in wrestling today is dealing with a combination of both and it was a little more serious than we thought. According to PWInsider.com, AEW World Champion CM Punk appeared at the AEW panel at the San Diego Comic Con and addressed his current foot injury. Punk revealed that his foot was “shattered” on June 2 and he is having to learn how to walk again. Punk was also said to be icing his foot and wearing a walking boot at the convention. It is not clear when he will be allowed to return to the ring. Opinion: That makes things all the worse and hopefully things get better for Punk in a hurry. It could be a long time before Punk is able ..
Appear In Peace. At this morning’s WWE panel discussion at the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con, The Undertaker made a surprise appearance to join the group that was already on stage. You can see a clip of the appearance below: THE UNDERTAKER IS AT COMIC-CON! #WWE #SDCC pic.twitter.com/F7w9FRvQ2s — Jim Velasco @ SDCC ?????? (@TheJimmyV) July 21, 2022 According to a report from Ringside News, The Undertaker made a surprise appearance after a 45-minute session in room 6A of the convention center, presented by Mattel. Many fans mistook the Deadman’s entrance song for the reveal of a retro mid-’90s Monday Night Raw Undertaker figure and were caught off guard when the WWE Hall of Famer appeared out of nowhere. He then continued to assist and introduce the remainder of the Mattel WWE collection, much to the pleasure of the WWE Universe fans in attendance and the WWE Superstars on stage. Other stars that were on stage included Cody Rhodes and Tomasso Ciampa. Editor’s Opinion: I love stuff like..
Monday Night Raw Date: July 4, 2022 Location: Pechange Arena, San Diego, California Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Corey Graves, Byron Saxton It’s a special day as we are live on a major holiday, meaning there will be a grand total of no one watching this show. We’re also fresh off of Money In The Bank and one briefcase is down, as Liv Morgan is the new Smackdown Women’s Champion. Theory is no longer the US Champion but he is Mr. Money In The Bank, which he probably will be for a long time since I’m not sure if Roman Reigns works here anymore. Let’s get to it. Ric Flair’s WOO is back in the Then, Now, Forever opening. The opening video features a look at some very American things before promising to celebrate freedom and breaking the bank tonight. Here is new United States Champion Bobby Lashley to get things going. Lashley is very happy to be back and welcomes us to the show. It’s the man that makes the title and there is not another man in any division or promotion who can beat him..
Main Event Date: August 26, 2021 Location: Perchanga Arena, San Diego, California Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Byron Saxton We’re done with Summerslam and now it is time to get back to normal around here. Granted Main Event has been at normal for a long time now so maybe we can get a little change of pace, even if it does not last long. I’m not exactly thrilled by either option but such is life on this show. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Jeff Hardy vs. Shelton Benjamin They slap hands to start and Benjamin runs him over with a shoulder. Neither can hit their finisher early so Hardy sends him into four top turnbuckles in a row. Another Twist of Fate attempt is countered and Benjamin runs the corner for a knee to the face. We hit the reverse chinlock but Hardy fights up in a hurry and knocks Benjamin down for a breather. Hardy’s leg trap rollup gets two but Benjamin hits a powerslam for the same. The Twist of Fate is countered into a German suplex to give Benjamin two more but no..
Monday Night Raw Date: August 23, 2021 Location: Pechanga Arena, San Diego, California Commentators: Jimmy Smith, Byron Saxton, Corey Graves It’s the night after Summerslam and we are going to be dealing with a lot of the fallout. We have a long road to Extreme Rules and there were a lot of things at Summerslam worth talking about. The problem is that most of them had to do with Smackdown so we might not be in for much going on. Let’s get to it. We open with a long recap of Summerslam. Here are MVP and Bobby Lashley to get things going. After another recap of Goldberg vs. Lashley, MVP says he’d like to explain what happened on Sunday at Summerslam. We all know about Goldberg’s extraordinary history but not so much about his recently unextraordinary history. What we didn’t know was that his son would be at Summerslam. Maybe he needed a good luck charm or something but Goldberg did score a couple of two counts. Either way, Lashley beat up Goldberg and won by referee stoppage. Goldber..
Bash at the Beach 1998 Date: July 12, 1998 Location: Cox Arena, San Diego, California Attendance: 10,095 Commentators: Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay, Bobby Heenan Tonight is all about the celebrities as the main event is DDP/Karl Malone vs. Hollywood Hogan/Dennis Rodman. We’ve also got football player Kevin Greene vs. the Giant in what was supposed to be a tag match. Their original partners are in a world title match as new champion Goldberg defends against Curt Hennig. The midcard matches should be solid, meaning this has potential to be something good. Let’s get to it. The opening video focuses on the three major matches tonight with some shots of the beach cut in as well. The set is the usual intricate beach setting with sand, lifeguard towers and beach balls. The announcers wearing hula shirts is a nice touch as well. We get an intro from the announcers, bragging about all the media attention the show has been getting. Nothing wrong with that. Gene, in a white tuxedo, hypes up t..
When worlds collide. In case you somehow didn’t know, Ronda Rousey is a former UFC champion and was one of the most dominant fighters of all time. That kind of crossover star power doesn’t happen in wrestling very often but WWE knows how to capitalize on it when they’re given the chance. With the San Diego Comic Con taking place during this week, there was a good chance of having Rousey get some more attention. Rousey was at the Comic Con this year and interacted with various mainstream athletes. One such athlete was Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid, who Rousey stared down with for a photo. The issue with this is the fact that Rousey stands about 5’7 and Embiid is nearly a foot and a half taller at 7’0. Therefore, Rousey needed a little help. Here’s a picture of the staredown from Embiid’s Instagram: WrestleMania 35 @rondarousey A post shared by Joel "The Process" Embiid (@joelembiid) on Jul 18, 2018 at 6:30pm PDT This is a little more on Rousey’s standard size. [This post cont..
Together again. It seems that we can’t go a single day without having something happen between the now split up Nikki Bella and John Cena. The couple, who was scheduled to be married earlier this month, broke up instead and drama has ensued ever since. The story began to take different paths every day with one bit of breaking news after another. It seems possible that the two could get back together, which would start with the two being in the same place. As it turns out, that seems to have started. There are other signs that this might be working. Check out some hints here. According to the New York Daily News, Cena and Bella were seen together for the first time since their engagement ended, getting some coffee on Saturday in San Diego. While the two split up just a few weeks ago, Cena has since changed his mind and said that he wants to marry Bella. At the same time though, Bella has said she’s not completely done but needs more time to make sense of everything. What’s WWE’s take ..

16-time WWE Champion John Cena was spotted auditioning for a prime role in an old Nickelodeon franchise that is looking to have a reboot, according to WWE’s official website. Adweek senior editor Jason Lynch snapped a photo to his Twitter account showing John Cena in the signature green striped shirt and khaki pants of Blue’s Clues host Steve. In the photo, Cena appears to be reading from a script or holding a thin green object while another woman is on the stage with him. Check it out: . @JohnCena auditioning to be the new #BluesClues host. pic.twitter.com/zuLXMCtHQ8 — Jason Lynch (@jasonlynch) March 6, 2018 While Nickelodeon is creating the revival, no further details are known as to whether the host will go by their real name and what the overall look of the reboot will be. Blue’s Clues originally launched on Nick Jr. back in 1996, and was in many ways similar to that of Dora or Diego the Explorers, with a live-action host and Blue, the animated puppy. Cena is scheduled to ho..

<p>A video package opens the show focusing on James Ellsworth helping Carmella at the Money in the Bank PPV to obtain the briefcase. We then see Daniel Bryan stripping Carmella of the briefcase last week and booking a rematch.</p><p>We go live to San Diego where Tom Phillips welcomes us to the show.</p><p>Smackdown General Manager Daniel Bryan is out first to kick off the show. Big reaction for Bryan tonight in San Diego. A loud “DANIEL BRYAN” chant starts up. Bryan asks if they are ready for a great night tonight? He is proud of the women’s evolution on Smackdown Live and tonight we have two huge women’s matches. Bryan plugs Noami defending the Smackdown Women’s Championship against Lana and the “Money in the Bank” ladder rematch featuring Charlotte, Becky Lynch, <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/natalya" title="Natalya">Natalya</a></strong>, Carmella and Tamina.</p><p>Carmella is out to interrupt along with James Ellsworth. Carmella says Smackdown is the land of injustice. She brings up Bryan stripping her of the briefcase last week. Carmella says she won the ladder match fair and square. She says the rule book states a ladder match is no DQ and has no rules. Carmella says the first woman to gain possession of the contract wins the match. She again repeats the stipulation and says Bryan has no right to take the briefcase away from her. Carmella yells she did nothing wrong.</p><p>Bryan says Carmella made some valid points including that ladder matches are no DQ and that other people have interfered in Money in the Bank matches before. He points out that never has someone walked up a ladder and handed it to another competitor. Bryan says he made his decision, but he wants to see what the WWE Universe thinks.

Ellsworth says they control “this stupid puppet.” He says Bryan takes pleasure in upsetting his “home girl.” A loud “ELLSWORTH SUCKS” chant breaks out. Ellsworth says he used to look up to Bryan. He doesn’t see a man anymore. Ellsworth only sees a “gutless, spineless, coward” that has no grapefruits to cut it in the ring and that he made up some “hokey injury.” Bryan gets in the face of Ellsworth and then starts smiling. He says he could just fire Ellsworth, but it isn’t about James tonight.</p><p>Bryan says it is about the “real” superstars of Smackdown Live. He says he knows he banned Ellsworth from ringside last week. Bryan says not to worry and he takes that back. “I am going to ban you from the entire arena,” says Bryan. Bryan calls for security. Carmella yells that Ellsworth didn’t mean it. Security walks down the ramp and gets in the ring going after Ellsworth. Ellsworth tries to leave and they grab him immediately. Ellsworth is grabbing onto the ropes as security drags him out of the ring. He then tells them he is fine and tries to take off again at ringside. Ellsworth tries to break free again jumping on the ring barricade.
