She’s not having it. We are about six weeks away from WrestleMania 39, which will take place on April 1 and 2. WWE has turned the event into the biggest wrestling showcase of the year with some of the most important matches in history taking place there. It means a lot for a wrestler to make it onto the card and now a WWE star is venting her frustrations at missing previous WrestleManias. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He Did It Again: Roman Reigns Passes Yet Another Milestone As WWE Universal Champion This week on Monday Night Raw, Bayley lost a triple threat match for a chance to get into the Elimination Chamber for the WrestleMania 39 Raw Women’s Title match. Bayley has since taken to Twitter, talking about how she has missed the last two WrestleManias but promised to go to Hollywood (as WrestleMania 39 is in Los Angeles) one way or another. This comes after Bayley missed WrestleMania 38 due to injury and hosted WrestleMania 37. I haven’t competed in the last two Wrestlemanias. Last year..
Nowhere is safe anymore. Following last night’s NXT: Vengeance Day premium live event, Shawn Michaels did a media conference call to discuss the show. However, he was not alone, as Grayson Waller decided to make his feelings known. Waller interrupted Michaels during the call and shared his frustrations about not being HBK’s guy. Waller felt that Carmelo Hayes has taken that place, as was shown in the final moments of the show. Matt Bloom ended up entering the room and removed Waller before he took things too far. You can see the conference call below: [This post contains video, click to play] Grayson Waller just interrupted the #VengeanceDay media call! VERY angry at Shawn Michaels. HOLY CRAP!

He wanted out. There are all kinds of different WWE programs every week and not all of them involve actual wrestling. The company regularly features a variety of shows recapping recent action or focusing on interviews with wrestlers. Those shows have their own regular hosts, but a former one is now recalling a time when he was desperately trying to get off his own show. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Try Him: AEW Reportedly Planning Push For Popular Star Bryan Danielson appeared on Renee Paquette’s The Sessions podcast and discussed their time hosting Talking Smack in WWE. Danielson revealed that during some of his time on the show, he was actively trying to get fired. Danielson cited frustrations with not being medically cleared to wrestle and not wanting to be brought in for television for just Talking Smack. In efforts to get fired, Danielson would regularly bring up James Ellsworth having a “huge hog” despite being told not to by management. Eventually Danielson was cleared to return to ..
There’s no interest. The rise of AEW has seen several stars having a new place to go in the wrestling world. While there have always been other promotions to go to, there are only so many spots on such a high level. Not everyone is going to be a good fit in WWE for one reason or another and one former WWE star does not seem like he would want to be back there anyway. According to SportsKeeda.com, AEW’s Miro has no interest in returning to WWE or leaving AEW. This comes after Miro had seemingly vented frustrations about his status in AEW but has not asked for his release. There is also said to be no interest from WWE in bringing Miro back to the company, where he wrestled under the name Rusev. Miro has not wrestled since All Out on September 4. Opinion: There are some interesting discussions of wrestlers jumping from one promotion to the other and that makes things a lot more fun. It can be fascinating to see someone trying to get out of their deal or trying to move elsewhere and then..
That might be it? Wrestlers move up and down the WWE roster on a constant basis and it can be a bit tricky to keep track of everyone. So much moving around can make for some interesting changes when someone arrives elsewhere, and now we might be seeing it again. Some name changes this week might lead to a move down the line, or at least that is what is being hinted at. This week on NXT, the Grizzled Young Veterans, comprised of James Drake and Zack Gibson, had their names changed to just Drake and Gibson, with the team name being dropped entirely. Following the show, the team released a video talking about their frustrations, followed by a tweet from Drake showing his empty locker. This could suggest that the team will be moving up to the main roster, though this has not been confirmed. They’re dropping hints. Check out how the Veterans teased leaving: [This post contains video, click to play] Thank you @WWE https://t.co/mweqOLEYfi pic.twitter.com/T2b8CgLCdo — James Drake (@James..
Things aren’t looking great. Stables are an interesting way to go in wrestling as there are great at giving a lot of people screen time at once. Sometimes you are going to have wrestlers who cannot get somewhere on their own so putting them together makes sense. That was the case in theory with a recent Monday Night Raw stable, but things are already falling apart. Debuting back in August, Retribution has had quite the rocky history. The team never felt like it had the most logical or clear direction and the members did not exactly receive the strongest pushes. Adding Mustafa Ali as the leader helped somewhat, but did not solve all of the problems. Those problems still abound to this day and now we might be seeing them overwhelm the team. This week on Monday Night Raw, Ali vented his frustrations with the team after another loss. The following day, other members of the team complained as well, with some of the complaints directed at Ali himself. Reckoning asked how much longer they w..
Kofi Kingston came extremely close to realizing his WrestleMania dreams but at the very last moment, they were ripped away from him. The 11-year veteran ran the Gauntlet on the March 19 edition of SmackDown Live, wining all five announced matches. Sheamus, Cesaro, Samoa Joe and Randy Orton were all pinned and Erick Rowan lost by disqualification. Kofi did everything he was asked to do and in the end, it wasn’t good enough. That’s because of the unannounced match against WWE champion Daniel Bryan, which Kingston lost. Once again, Vince McMahon has ruined everything for Kofi and The New Day. But now there’s a new twist to the story. Big E took to Twitter on March 20 and voiced his frustrations. He was sincere, he was serious and most importantly, he was very believable. In an environment in which everyone watching knows they’re getting worked, this promo significantly blurred the lines between fact and fiction. But then again, that’s what WWE strives for these days. Kayfabe has been r..

<p><strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/luke-harper" title="Luke Harper">Luke Harper</a></strong> took to his Twitter account to call out WWE for not acknowledging his battle royal elimination of <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/konnor" title="Konnor">Konnor</a></strong> on Twitter. WWE ended up deleting the <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/tweet/" title="tweet">tweet</a></strong> and Harper both ended up deleting their tweets. Here is the exchange:</p><p><strong>WWE Twitter:</strong><br />“<em>#AndreTheGiant Memorial #BattleRoyal winner @MojoRawleyWWE is on a ROLL, eliminating @KonnorWWE & @LukeHarperWWE! #SDLive</em>”</p><p><strong>Luke Harper:</strong><br /><em>“Who eliminated Konnor? Thanks for watching @wwe. My name’s Luke Harper.”</em></p><p>Many can understand Harper’s frustrations as he rarely appears on Smackdown Live anymore.</p>
