Please don’t be bad. You never know when you are going to see a wrestler injured and it is never a good thing. Wrestlers being hurt can happen at any time and can cause all kinds of problems for everyone involved, but the wrestler’s health is what matters the most. There was another injury scare this weekend and a match was stopped as a result of the sudden injury. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: You Can See Him: Former WWE Superstar Wrestling First Televised Match In Six Years According to Wrestlingbodyslam.com and a fan on Twitter, a SmackDown Women’s Title match at a live event in Pensecola, Florida. Charlotte was defending against Liv Morgan and Sonya Deville when Deville suffered some sort of injury. A member of the medical staff came to ringside to check on Deville and the match was stopped, with Deville being helped to the back. There is no word on the nature of Deville’s injury or if she will be missing any ring time. Sonya actually hurt? Head security guy ran to the back and return..
Ouch! There are all kinds of injuries in the wrestling world and some of them can come out of nowhere. While several injuries are the result of years of wear and tear, occasionally you will see someone get hurt in the blink of an eye. Some of the worst instances of this involve injuries that are obvious to anyone watching, which was the case again this weekend with a nasty looking situation. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Hand Them Over: Multiple New Champions Crowned At NXT Vengeance Day The opening match of this weekend’s NXT Vengeance Day saw Wes Lee successfully defend the North American Title against Dijak. At some point during the match, Dijak suffered an injury to his finger, which appeared to be either broken or dislocated. Dijak finished the match with no apparent issue and there is no word on the nature of his injury or how long he might be out of action (if at all). FCKIN HELL!! Looks like Dijak broke his finger!!?? #VengeanceDay pic.twitter.com/kX6NQ3QeOb — ?????? (@WrestlingCo..
That’s not a good look. The right attire is one of the most important parts of a wrestler’s presentation. Making a wrestler look good is a great way to give the fans a reason to care about them, which can be incredibly tricky. That can involve some very unique looking material, but in a recent case, it is not going well for a current star, as a certain part of his gear is getting him in legal trouble. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: That’s New: AEW Announces Series Of Non-Televised Live Events According to Wrestlenomics, AEW and Luchasaurus are being sued by a company called Composite Effects LLC (CFX) for using and profiting from their design in Luchasaurus’ mask without permission. While Luchasaurus was allowed to use the mask in the ring, there was no permission to use it in merchandise. CFX provided emails from Luchasaurus talking about a possible modification of a mask the company had created before, which became his signature mask. When CFX attempted to come to a licensing agreement, no..
It keeps happening. There are all kinds of injuries in wrestling and you never want to see someone put on the shelf for any length of time. While the majority of injuries to wrestlers take place inside the ring, there are some that happen away from action that can still slow things down. That has happened again, as an AEW star is out of action for the time being with an injury. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Symphony Rests: Update On Wardlow’s AEW Status AEW star Willow Nightingale has suffered a non-wrestling related injury and is out of action for the time being. Beyond Wrestling has announced that Nightingale will not be able to wrestle this weekend as planned but she will still be appearing. There is no word on the nature of her injury but Beyond Wrestling descried it as “minor”. Nightingale last wrestled on the January 18 Dynamite. Sorry I won’t be able to compete this weekend, but I’ll still be around to see all you lovely people in Worcester https://t.co/lNkTdIEL2G — Willow Nigh..
No more? We are in the middle of a weird time in WWE, as all kinds of things continue to change. You never know what kind of thing is going to happen next at the moment, with most of the changes taking place behind the scenes. At the same time though, there are changes taking place with various storylines. Now we seem to have seen another big change, as WWE may have dropped something cold. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Who’s Up Next: New WWE Tournament Announced To Crown #1 Contenders This week on SmackDown, Bray Wyatt made an appearance and sat in the middle of the ring in his rocking chair. Wyatt used several of his old catchphrases, including calling himself the Eater of Worlds. He also said that HE is Uncle Howdy and told LA Knight to “run” at the Royal Rumble, in another of his former signature lines. There is no word on if this is a reset of Wyatt’s character or something that will be changed again in the weeks to come. This could go multiple ways. Check out Wyatt’s promo plus a look..
You won’t be seeing him for a bit. There are a lot of different dimensions to wrestling, but at the end of the day, it is a physical sport that can cause a lot of damage to the wrestlers themselves. You never know when you might see someone get injured and be put on the shelf. Sometimes wrestlers need to get a piece of themselves fixed up and that seems to have taken place again. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Miro Offers Update On His AEW Return Status AEW’s Griff Garrison has revealed that he underwent a surgery in North Carolina this week. Garrison did not reveal the nature of his injury or how long he expected to be on the shelf recovering. Garrison, 24 years old, has not wrestled since the October 21 edition of AEW Dark, though there is no word on if the surgery is related to his recent absence from the ring. Had to go under the knife today. I’ll be back in no time. pic.twitter.com/qlC7DQB59u — Griff Garrison (@griffgarrison1) December 16, 2022 Garrison has had some nice times..
The news dropped on Monday that Triple H and WWE officials were interested in having Stone Cold Steve Austin do more with the company following his long awaited return to in-ring competition at WrestleMania 38 against Kevin Owens. Since then, the internet continues to speculate on who the best opponent would be for The Texas Rattlesnake with WrestleMania 39 returning to Hollywood. Naturally, there are a handful of dream matches that would help sell out SoFi Stadium this April. The few names that have emerged from the rumor mill thus far include John Cena, The Rock and CM Punk. While they each have their own unique intrigue for the grandest stage of them all, The Nature Boy is ruling out a few of these big names himself. Related: How A Possible CM Punk WWE Return Is Being Received Backstage During his latest To Be The Man podcast on Wednesday, Ric Flair was asked about Austin’s next opponent and immediately didn’t see a potential WWE return and match with Stone Cold as a valid option ..
That’s another name. One of the biggest stories of WWE has been the career trajectory of Sasha Banks. Back in May, Banks and Naomi walked out on WWE, forfeiting the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles in the first place. In recent months, there has been talk of Banks returning to the company. In the mean time though, she has been staying with her training and now we can see her doing so. A video has been posted to Twitter showing Banks training with former WWE and WCW star Juventud Guerrera. The video seems to have been filmed recently and shows Banks headscissoring Guerrera. There is no word on when or if Banks will be returning to WWE, though she and Naomi were recently returned to the WWE television signature introduction video. She still has it. Check out Banks in the ring: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: This is the kind of thing that gives fans hope, but at the end of the day, it is all about her returning to the ring, which may not be taking place so soon. Banks i..
That’s a big development. WWE’s roster looks very different than it did six months ago with several names returning to the company. While there have been several different names added in, there have also been some names who have left the fold. It can mean something when those people return to the company and now we might be getting ready to see some of those returns. Sasha Banks and Naomi returned to the WWE signature intro as of this weekend’s Crown Jewel event. They had not been in the intro as recently as earlier this week. While not confirmed, this would suggest that the two of them may be back on their way to WWE. Banks and Naomi have been missing from WWE since they walked out on the company in late May, vacating the Women’s Tag Team Titles in the process. Opinion: We seem to have been moving towards Banks and Naomi returning for several weeks now and the question is when will the two be back. Allowing them to be back in the signature intro would be a big indication that the tw..
That would have been different. There are different ways to tell stories in wrestling and some of them can be quite effective. One of the most common stories that you will see is a betrayal of a friendship, where one wrestler turns on his partner and friend out of nowhere. WWE had plans to do that again on a big scale but now an injury has changed those plans in a big way. Back in May, Randy Orton was forced to take time away from WWE due to a serious back injury. During his absence, Orton’s partner Matt Riddle has continued to talk about Orton as well as using his signature moves. According to WrestleVotes during an interview with GiveMeSport, the original plan for Orton’s return would have seen him turn on Riddle the night he came back. However, due to Orton’s injury taking him out longer than expected, the plans, which were made when Vince McMahon still ran WWE, have changed. There is no word on when Orton is expected back in WWE. Opinion: This is an idea that I could absolutely s..
A fashion accessory? WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world and to a lot of fans, it is the wrestling promotion. Several fans associate the industry with WWE and a lot of fans are going to be familiar with the company’s signature logo. Unfortunately the logo was involved in something rather negative earlier this week with police having to be involved. According to KWTX (CBS affiliate near Waco, Texas) in Temple, Texas, a man is wanted for suspicion of an armed robbery of a store. The man was filmed wearing a replica WWE Title upside down with a hood over his face and no shoes. The amount of money stolen was not reported and the suspect has yet to be apprehended. In the article, the suspect is described as a “WWE Champion”. Opinion: This is one of those things that you don’t see very often and it doesn’t make WWE look great. At the same time, the good part is that WWE isn’t directly involved as this is more about a suspect doing something that is more th..
That’s a shot. A finishing move is one of the most important parts of any wrestler’s presentation. Having the right signature move is the kind of thing that can make anyone look like a star but even then it has to be done in a certain way. At some point different people are going to wind up using the same moves as others, and now one of the biggest stars in wrestling history doesn’t like how another star uses his signature move. WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg appeared on the Roman Atwood podcast where he talked about Roman Reigns using the spear. According to Goldberg, Reigns has said that it is stupid to go out and hit someone hard, though Goldberg says if you can hit someone hard and not hurt them it’s pretty smart. Goldberg also said “plus, I don’t look like a, no offense, girl when I tackle people.” Reigns defeated Goldberg earlier this year at Elimination chamber. Opinion: Those are the kind of words that are going to get attention and that is no surprise. Goldberg was one of the fi..
That sounds challengey. There are a lot of stars in WWE at the moment, but there is only one Roman Reigns. After two plus years as WWE Universal Champion, there are very few names left to give Reigns a serious challenge. It is going to take someone special to take the title from him but the question is who that might be. Someone else might be hinting at a little something. During an interview with E!’s The Rundown, The Rock was asked who is the head of the table, referring to Reigns’ signature catchphrase. The Rock responded by saying “you’re looking into his eyes right now.” He did go on to say that it does NOT mean he is challenging Reigns for the title at WrestleMania. Reigns vs. The Rock has been rumored for a match at Wrestlemania 39 in April 2023 for several months. He said it as well as anyone else. Check out the Rock’s interview: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: This is one of those things that could lead somewhere else, but it isn’t like you need much wor..
You don’t see that every day. There are certain names in wrestling who have become some of the biggest stars of all time. You know these names as soon as anyone comes close to referencing them and WWE certainly has their share. It can be interesting to see one of them do something that is out of their nature and that is certainly what took place between two legends. Former WWE star Michelle McCool has posted a video of herself and her husband the Undertaker taking the Tortilla Challenge. The idea is that both have water in their mouth and, after playing a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, one of them hits the other in the face with a tortilla. McCool said they took the challenge due to their daughter insisting, with McCool spitting water in Undertaker’s face at the end anyway. It’s still weird to see. Check out Undertaker and McCool taking the challenge: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: After thirty years of Undertaker being the stoic, always in character star, it is..
