WATCH: Two SmackDown Stars Tease Big Heel Turn

To the other side? No matter how talented a wrestler might be, there is always going to be a time when they need some kind of a freshening up. Maybe they need a different look or a different character, but occasionally the right answer is a different direction. The most common version of this is to have a wrestler turn good or bad, and now two WWE stars are teasing such a change. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: Second Generation Star Signs With WWE The main event of this week’s SmackDown saw Madcap Moss fall short in his challenge for Gunther’s Intercontinental Title. Moss had his girlfriend Emma in his corner, with Emma having hyped up his chances earlier in the night. After the match, WWE released a video of Emma and Moss blaming the fans for not supporting them. Emma later tweeted that they “deserve better”, signaling a possible heel turn for the two. After a huge win last week I was honestly a bit disappointed with the crowd reaction last night. We deserve better.. http..

Welcome Home: Another Monday Night Raw Star Set For NXT Return

It’s a homecoming. NXT has been a complete game changer for WWE, as the company has its own developmental system, which happens to air on national television. As a result, NXT stars have become big deals in their own right, with the show having a legacy of its own. That includes names from before NXT went national, but now one of them will be appearing on the bigger version of the show. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: It’s A Way Out: Speculation Over How WWE Could Solve Tag Team Titles Dilemma WWE has announced that Bayley will be appearing on this week’s edition of NXT for a special edition of her Ding Dong Hello show, featuring Toxic Attraction as her guests. Bayley is a former NXT Women’s Champion and member of the Four Horsewomen who helped establish the NXT women’s division before NXT began airing on television. There is nothing to suggest that this is anything more than a one off appearance. BREAKING: @itsBayleyWWE will be on #WWENXT this Tuesday for a special edition of "Ding Dong Hel..

It’s A Way Out: Speculation Over How WWE Could Solve Tag Team Titles Dilemma

It’s a family thing. Tag team wrestling has been undergoing a bit of a resurgence in WWE as of late, with more teams being formed and a more competitive division overall. While this has been going on, the Usos have reigned on high as one of the most dominant teams in WWE history. However, a change in plans might require someone else in the family to step in for a change. At the Royal Rumble, the Bloodline attacked Sami Zayn but Jey Uso refused to get involved, resulting in Uso not appearing this week on SmackDown. The Usos have a Tag Team Title defense scheduled against Braun Strowman and Ricochet next week on SmackDown, though there is doubt over whether Jey will team with his brother Jimmy. During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer speculated (rather than reported) that WWE could have the Usos’ brother Solo Sikoa team with Jimmy in Jey’s place. Jimmy and Sikoa teamed together this week in a dark match after SmackDown. Jey is still scheduled for the title matc..

She’s In: WWE Star Makes Long Awaited In-Ring Debut On SmackDown

There’s a first time for everyone. WWE has a lot of talented wrestlers on its roster and that can make it difficult to find something for all of them to do. Some of them are left doing one specific thing over and over but a little versatility can go a long way. Being able to do multiple things makes you more valuable and that was on display this week as someone got to do something new. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Feel The Glow? Here’s The Latest On Naomi’s WWE Status This week on SmackDown, Scarlett made her televised in-ring debut, teaming with Karrion Kross to defeat Madcap Moss/Emma. This was Scarlett’s first televised match, though she has wrestled some live event matches for WWE.

You can see footage of the match below: Scarlett and Emma Ate pic.twitter.com/LLpqbPusT7 — sameeha | Fan Account (@mcedeslynch) December 11, 2022 Kross and Scarlett were the winners of the match. Scarlett has only been featured as Kross’ valet since their debut with the company in 2020. She has been used primarily to bring Kross to the ring and remained mostly on the outside, occasionally interfering in matches. Scarlett is not new to the ring; she has competed in several other promotions, including WWE before. It is unknown if this will be a regular occurrence on the main roster, or if this was just for this live event. Editor’s Opinion: This is very cool to see! I always knew that she had talent in the ring, but with her current gimmick, she had ne..

That Kind Of Story: WWE Teases Using Real Life Relationship As Storyline

Art imitates life. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestling storyline, but one of the most effective is to have something based in real life. It adds a different dimension to the story and that is something that you cannot manufacture most of the time. WWE does this on occasion and they seem to be doing it again with a storyline involving a pair of wrestlers on the same show. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Emma Opens Up About WWE Return After Five Year Absence This week on SmackDown, Emma congratulated Shotzi about becoming #1 contender to the SmackDown Women’s Title. Emma also asked if Shotzi had seen Madcap Moss, which made Shotzi believe Emma had a crush on him. This would suggest that WWE is hinting at a romance angle between Emma and Moss, who announced that they are a real life couple back in August. There is some interest there. Check out what Emma and Shotzi had to say, plus some bad things happening to Shotzi: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: This is ..

WWE Has An Interesting Plan For Its Women’s Division

They have a goal in mind. There are a lot of very talented women in WWE and they have done a great job in bringing the women’s division up to a level that few believed possible. It has been quite the ride to see what has happened over the years and it has been very positive. At some point you need some fresh talent though and WWE seems to be looking into acquiring it. According to Fightful Select, WWE is looking to restock its women’s division with experienced stars. This includes the re-signing of Emma, along with interest in bringing back Tegan Nox and Chelsea Green. However, Green told Fightful that she has not been contacted about a return and has independent bookings set through March 2023. There is no word on other women potentially returning. Opinion: This is one of those ideas that makes a lot of sense, as signing a bunch of new stars to use as filler can damage their future potential. People like Emma, Nox and Green are names that have been around for a bit, either in WWE or..

Emma Opens Up About WWE Return After Five Year Absence

It’s good to be back. There have been a lot of stars returning to WWE in the last few months and those returns do not seem to be slowing down whatsoever. It can be a big deal when someone returns after months if not years away and that was the situation last week. Now the latest returning star is opening up about her return, as it was quite the special moment. Last Friday on SmackDown, Emma made a surprise return, answering Ronda Rousey’s open challenge in a losing effort. Emma has since responded to her return with both a tweet and an Instagram post. The latter is simply saying “home” while the Instagram post talks about how she left WWE nearly five years ago to the day before getting to return with some “unfinished business”. Home ?? — Tenille Dashwood (@TenilleDashwood) October 29, 2022 View this post on Instagram A post shared by WRESTLING | TRAVEL | LIFESTYLE (@tenilledashwood) Opinion: It’s cool to see Emma back as she had been gone for so long that it made her return feel s..

33 Year Old Former WWE Star Makes Surprise Return After 5 Year Absence

Welcome back! There have been a lot of stars to come through the WWE’s doors over the years and it can be quite a moment when someone leaves. There are some departures that can shake up the company, while others leave without getting to prove themselves well enough. Occasionally those stars will get to make a return and that is the case again with a long departed star. Emma made a surprise return this week on SmackDown, marking her first appearance with the company in just under five years. Emma answered Ronda Rousey’s open challenge for a SmackDown Women’s Title shot, ultimately losing via submission. This was Emma’s first appearance for WWE since October 2017. She previously wrestled in WWE and NXT from 2012-2017 and has stayed on the independent circuit since, plus a stint in Impact Wrestling. Opinion: I’m glad to see Emma back as she is someone who could be put into the middle of the card to fill in a spot. She has the talent and charisma needed to be interesting and I could go f..

The Next One Up: Major Main Event Set For WWE Clash At The Castle

They’re looking to the future. Summerslam is less than a day away and that means WWE has almost everything set up for one of the biggest shows of the year. That does not mean they are done with everything though, as there are other shows that have to be covered as well. This time, WWE is starting early on the next show, which is going to be one of the most unique events in a long time. This week on SmackDown, Drew McIntyre defeated Sheamus in a Good Old Fashioned Donnybrook Match to become the new #1 contender to the WWE Universal Champion. McIntyre will receive his shot at Clash At The Castle on September 3 in the first stadium show in the United Kingdom in over thirty years. McIntyre will challenge the winner of Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar, who face off at Summerslam in a Last Man Standing match. Opinion: I don’t think there was much doubt over McIntyre winning the title shot, but this puts WWE in a bit of a dilemma. McIntyre almost can’t lose in the main event of such an importa..

KB’s Review: The NXT Dilemma

I have loved NXT for a very long time now, and that is not likely to change at any time in the future. For years now, it has felt like my wrestling show, as it has been the show I have looked forward to seeing more than any other in a given week. That is still true from time to time, but it is clear that the show is going to be shaken up in a pretty big way in the near future. The more I think about that, the more of a good idea it seems, though only if certain issues are addressed. NXT became special to me on January 2, 2013. In that particular show’s main event, NXT Champion Seth Rollins was defending the title against Corey Graves (dang that makes it seem even longer) when the rest of the newly formed Shield ran in for the DQ. A huge beatdown followed and General Manager Dusty Rhodes sent out the rest of the locker room to deal with the Shield. That didn’t work either, and all hope seemed to be lost. As I was watching at home, I said out loud “in a good promotion, this is where th..

CM Punk Says His Bout At UFC 225 Should Be On Fight Pass

Former professional wrestler turned pro MMA fighter CM Punk returns to the Octagon next month at UFC 225, facing Mike Jackson. Punk and Jackson will kick off the main card of the event, which is set to air live on pay-per-view. UFC Hall Of Fame member Mark Coleman voiced his opinion about the placement of the Punk/Jackson fight on Twitter: Sometimes u have to make exceptions.$ I'm excited for this fight . I wish @CMPunk the best! But I understand. — Mark Coleman (@HammerHouseMMA) May 14, 2018 That would lead to Punk issuing a response of his own through Twitter, where the former wrestler admits his bout should be kicking off the event on UFC Fight Pass: I understand too. If it was up to me, I'd be first fight on fight pass. Don't matter to me. Fans like to be outraged by stuff that doesn't matter. (Appreciate the support Mr. Coleman!!!!! You're truly the man) — Coach (@CMPunk) May 14, 2018 Such luminaries as former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holl..

Tenille Dashwood Looks At The Bright Side Of Her Release From WWE

Its still all about her. Tenille Dashwood, formerly known from her time in WWE under the name 'Emma' has made a splash outside of the sports-entertainment company since being released in October of 2017. After Emma's release from WWE she posted an emoji of a broken heart on Twitter indicating that the news was not something she was expecting to see that morning. Nonetheless her career continues on as she has been booked on a number of independent wrestling promotions' shows, and also has the opportunity to become the first-ever Women Of Honor Champion At ROH Supercard Of Honor XII on April 7th. Dashwood gave a comment to The Sportster about the bright side of her WWE release; specifically the timing of it. Before she was released she was normally featured on WWE programming; often taking losses to "The Empress Of Tomorrow" Asuka. Tenille feels that this was one of the reasons why she has been heavily requested on the wrestling scene. "That was almost good for me ..
