WWE Superstars Predict The 2023 Super Bowl Winner

February 12, 2023

They have spoken. WWE recently released a video in which several superstars give their predictions for who will win the 2023 Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadephia Eagles. The game is being played at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. You can see the video below: [This post contains video, click to play] The superstars and their picks are as follows: Street Profits – Eagles Baron Corbin – Chiefs The Miz – Chiefs Ricochet – Eagles Dolph Ziggler – Chiefs Bobby Lashley – Chiefs Madcap Moss – Eagles Austin Theory – Chiefs Sarah Schriber – Chiefs Ashante Thee Adonis – Eagles Top Dolla – Chiefs B-Fab – Eagles Tegan Nox – Doesn’t Care Editor’s Opinion: Most of the superstars interviewed are riding with the Chiefs, which I totally get because they have Patrick Mahomes. However, I’ve thought that, for the most of the year, the Eagles have been the most complete team with that explosive office, under Jalen Hurts. Because of the fact that I think the Eagles have..

WATCH: Montez Ford And Bianca Belair Represent WWE At NFL Playoff Game

January 22, 2023

It’s part of the job. Despite its problems, WWE is still the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world. The company is active in several countries, but the majority of its work is done in the United States. It makes sense for the company to want to be associated with some of the biggest sporting events in the country and they tried to do so again this week. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Again: WWE Reportedly Makes More Office Cuts This Week Monday Night Raw stars Montez Ford and Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair appeared on NBC’s pre-game coverage of the Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Kansas City Chiefs NFL playoff game. Ford talked about the energy being the same as you find at a WWE event and Belair talked about the high stakes. Both picked the Chiefs to win, which would wind up being correct. It was a cool moment.

Monday Night Raw Results – June 13, 2022

June 14, 2022

Monday Night Raw Date: June 13, 2022 Location: Intrust Bank Arena, Wichita, Kansas Commentators: Corey Graves, Byron Saxton, Jimmy Smith It’s the first Raw without Cody Rhodes in a bit and that doesn’t exactly leave us with a ton of options. The biggest problem would seem to be the lack of a main event star around here, but maybe we can find someone in the Money in the Bank qualifying matches. Let’s get to it. We open with MizTV with special guest Paul Heyman. Miz talks about the Money in the Bank ladder match and puts over how important the briefcase can be, including his two wins. Heyman says that the percentages don’t matter because whoever wins is going to lose to Roman Reigns. We hear about Reigns vs. Riddle on Friday, so here is Riddle to discuss various testicles. Riddle is ready to win the title on Friday but Heyman doesn’t think Riddle is even going to win tonight. As for Friday though, he can win, or he can never have another title shot ever. Heyman brings out the Usos but..

Alexa Bliss Explains Needing Plastic Surgery After Series Of Injuries

June 13, 2022

That’s a unique injury. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to get hurt and some of them can be quite the fluke accident. That doesn’t make things any better, but it can cause quite the set of problems of its own. Sometimes a series of fluke accidents can require something to be done and it seems that was the case during a WWE star’s recent hiatus from the ring. During an interview with Wichita, Kansas’ T95 The Rock Station, WWE’s Alexa Bliss revealed that she suffered six broken noses over the course of her career. As a result, her nose had collapsed, requiring her to undergo sinus surgery. The operation took place during her hiatus from WWE between September 2021 and February 2022. Bliss has since returned to WWE TV and is wrestling full time again. There is a bit here. Check out the full interview: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: That is something that could be a lot worse and thankfully Bliss seems to be ok.

Smackdown Date: May 27, 2022 Location: Simmons Bank Arena, Little Rock, Arkansas Commentators: Michael Cole, Pat McAfee We’re almost up to Hell In A Cell and that means it might be time to actually add some things to the card. I’m not sure what the main event is actually supposed to be but maybe we get something else this week. If nothing else, New Day has a mystery partner to FINALLY wrap up their feud with the Brawling Brutes. I’m sure. Let’s get to it. We open with a recap of the Usos taking out RKBro last week to unify the Tag Team Titles. Randy Orton was injured pretty badly last week to put him on the shelf for the time being. Here are the Usos for a chat. After thanking Roman Reigns for making this possible, we hear about how the Usos recently celebrated twelve years in this company and they couldn’t have done it without the fans. The fans have cheered and booed them while seeing their up and definitely (Jey’s word) seeing their downs. After all their time together and all th..

Smackdown Date: January 28, 2022 Location: T-Mobile Center, Kansas City, Missouri Commentators: Michael Cole, Pat McAfee It’s the go home show for the Royal Rumble and that means it is probably time for the fabled face to face showdown. In this case, that likely means Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins, who just don’t have that much history together. Other than that, we are likely going to get the final push towards tomorrow night. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Here is Charlotte to get things going. She promises to do what Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs will never do: bring a championship to Kansas City!

Smackdown Date: October 22, 2021 Location: Intrust Bank Arena, Wichita, Kansas Commentators: Michael Cole, Pat McAfee We’re done with Crown Jewel and that means it is time to start getting ready for Survivor Series. The big story coming out of the show is Roman Reigns retaining the Universal Title as Paul Heyman managed to stay in the middle while still interfering in the match. That could mean more than a few things going forward so let’s get to it. We open with a recap of Roman Reigns retaining the Universal Title over Brock Lesnar, albeit with an assist from the Usos and a title belt shot. Here are Reigns and Paul Heyman for a chat to get things going. Reigns isn’t happy with Heyman, as he doesn’t get why the title was thrown into the middle of the ring last night. Reigns: “Shall we work on this?” He demonstrates how to put the title in his hand and says that Heyman isn’t good as his job. We hear Reigns’ various monikers, including the greatest Universal Champion of all time. Rei..

Update On Brock Lesnar’s Upcoming WWE Status And Schedule

October 22, 2021

That’s a fast turnaround. This week, WWE presented its latest event from Saudi Arabian with Crown Jewel. The show was one of the biggest shows that WWE presented this year and it featured one heck of a stacked card. With the show now out of the way, it is time to start dealing with the event’s fallout. It turns out that we may be seeing it sooner than we thought. The main event of WWE Crown Jewel saw Roman Reigns defeat Brock Lesnar to retain the Universal Title, albeit with an assist from the Usos and a title belt shot. Following the event, Lesnar said that “the moment I arrive at SmackDown, I will beat Roman Reigns senseless.” While not confirmed, this would suggest that Lesnar will appear on this Friday’s SmackDown from Wichita, Kansas. When @BrockLesnar was leaving Saudi Arabia, Brock was quoted saying, “The moment I arrive at SmackDown, I will beat Roman Reigns senseless.” ? #WWECrownJewel pic.twitter.com/Mu9YQlVDw7 — WWE (@WWE) October 21, 2021 Lesnar can do some damage whe..

I don’t think there is much of a secret of where the two of them are going but I’m curious to see where they are going in both cases. Let’s get to it. We open with a recap of Becky Lynch’s return, where she beat Bianca Belair to win the Smackdown Women’s Title in less than thirty seconds. Here is Becky Lynch, with a jacket that makes her look like a matador, to say she is back on top. A year and a half ago, she had to give up her Raw Women’s Title in a hard moment. It was giving up her identity but she has been working every day since to get back here. Now we get to Summerslam, and the fans don’t seem to like that.

Main Event Date: July 29, 2021 Location: T-Mobile Center, Kansas City, Missouri Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Byron Saxton The fans are back, but unfortunately it seems that the changes that had been taken place around here are not. Last week felt a lot like the Main Event days of old, which is far from exciting news. Normally I would say that I’m not surprised, but I really can’t say I am with this show. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Jaxson Ryker vs. Drew Gulak Ryker powers him into the corner to start so Gulak does it to him as well. Gulak’s slap to the face doesn’t seem to be the best idea as Ryker is back with a spinning slam. We hit the armbar on Gulak as we hear about Ryker’s military career again. Gulak switches into a cravate to hold Ryker down and it’s off to a cross arm choke. Ryker powers up into some ax handles to the chest and a release slingshot suplex drops Gulak again. The swinging Boss Man Slam finishes Gulak at 5:17. Result: Jaxson Ryker b. Drew Gulak – Swingi..

Monday Night Raw Star Has Coronavirus, Out Two Weeks

July 25, 2021

It’s the new reality. The Coronavirus pandemic has shaken up the entire world and there is nothing to suggest that the situation is going to be completely solved anytime soon. Things are better than they were just a few months ago, but there is still a lot of work to be done. There are also going to be a lot of people catching the virus, which is the case in wrestling again. The recordBar in Kansas City, Missouri has announced that Jeff Hardy’s upcoming appearance at the venue has been postponed due to Hardy contracting the Coronavirus. As a result, Hardy will be forced to quarantine for two weeks, meaning he will be missing the next two weeks of WWE events as well. There is no word on when the two weeks of quarantining will begin. Hardy wrestled on last week’s Monday Night Raw. Hardy is certainly a legend.

On the road again. The Coronavirus pandemic has changed the world in a huge way with the wrestling industry being shaken up as well. The biggest change has been the lack of fans being in the arenas. Having no fans around is quite a jarring change, though that is going to be corrected in July as WWE is going back on the road. Now we know a few more stops.

It’s all going to depend on the wrestling, which tends to be the case more often than not. Let’s get to it. Sonny Kiss vs. Luther Luther goes straight at him with the chops on the ropes, followed by a kick to the face. Choking with the jacket ensues and Luther hits him with the bell…which isn’t a DQ.

He was in Kansas City or St. Louis or somewhere and it was Harley Race’s birthday and he was in a camp; Harley’s camp and they were out at a restaurant bar type thing and they wanted to do. Everybody got <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/shots/" title="shots">shots</a></strong> for Harley’s birthday.
