He’s In Charge: Former WWE Champion Set To Host WrestleMania 39

It’s a gig. WrestleMania has evolved so much over the years that it is almost nothing like what it was when it first started. The show has gone from little more than a really souped up live event to a stadium filling event that takes place over two nights. Things have gotten so much bigger that it needs someone to keep track of them all, which is what we will have again this year. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Monster Fight: New Match Officially Set For WrestleMania 39 This week on Monday Night Raw, the Miz was announced as the host of WrestleMania 39. The announcement came via the envelope that Miz’s wife Maryse gave him last week. After making the announcement, Miz was attacked by Seth Rollins and left laying. WrestleMania has had a host for the last several years, with names such as Hulk Hogan, Alexa Bliss, Bayley and the New Day serving in the role. It is a tradition. Check out what the hosts have done over the years: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains vid..

Hand Them Over: Multiple New Champions Crowned At NXT Vengeance Day

It was a busy night. Title changes are one of the most important things that you can see at a wrestling event. A new champion being crowned marks a changing of the guard, as you have someone else becoming one of the to stars in a promotion. It can mean even more if multiple titles change hands in a single night, which was the case this weekend in the span of a few hours. There were two title changes over the weekend at NXT Vengeance Day. First up, Fallon Henley and Kiana James defeated Kayden Carter and Katana Chance to become the new NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions. The win marks the first title changes for Henley and James and also ends the record setting reign for Chance and Carter at 186 days.

North American Champion Wes Lee, Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez and NXT Champion Bron Breakker all retained their titles. It was a busy night. Check out the tit..

In Better Taste: Jay Briscoe’s Death Caused NXT To Change A Planned Segment

That wouldn’t have worked. The wrestling world was rocked this week by the shocking death of Jay Briscoe at age 38 in a car accident. The news broke on Tuesday and since then, all kinds of tributes and memories have been posted online by wrestlers and wrestling fans. Thankfully something like this does not happen often, but it turns out that it caused a big change to a wrestling show as well. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Switch: Two AEW Stars Turn Heel On Dynamite According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com, Briscoe’s death caused a planned segment on this week’s NXT to be changed. The original plans called for Pretty Deadly to hold a funeral for New Day, but the news of Briscoe’s passing caused New Day and WWE executive Shawn Michaels to scrap the idea. In addition, Michaels made the call for commentator Vic Joseph to mention Briscoe during the broadcast. There was a planned NXT segment tonight where New Day would hold a "funeral" for Pretty Deadly's title shot. When word of Jay Bri..

VIDEO: Five Stars Make Surprise Returns This Week On NXT

Welcome back. NXT is in a unique place as it is both the WWE’s in-house developmental system as well as its own wrestling show. Therefore, they have to find new ways to introduce stars and fresh faces, some of whom have been around before and are returning after a hiatus. You can see some of those returns every so often and there were several this week alone. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: She’s All Gone Now: More Details On Stephanie McMahon Leaving WWE (Again) There were five returning Superstars this week on NXT. First up, former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal returned and attacked the Creed Brothers, with the help of Sanga. This was Mahal’s first televised match since November 2022.

This was their first appearance since September 2022 due to a suspension. Finally, Tiffany Stratton returned after a several month hiatus after a countdown t..

They’re Up? Former NXT Champions Make Main Roster Debuts

They might be next. NXT is in a unique situation in the wrestling world as its purpose is to repopulate the WWE main roster. Therefore, despite being a wrestling show on national television, NXT exists for its wrestlers to move up to the next level. You can occasionally see a sign that a wrestler is moving up and that might be taking place again with a pair of NXT stars. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Kurt Angle Kisses Undertaker At WWE Live Event, Undertaker Isn’t Happy According to PWInsider.com, Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson/Elton Prince) will be working this weekend’s WWE live events. This will be the team’s main roster debut, though there is no word on if they will be called up anytime soon. Pretty Deadly are currently feuding with New Day over the NXT Tag Team Titles, having lost the titles to New Day last month at Deadline. The team is rather unique. Check out the two of them at their best: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [T..

Kofi Kingston Makes WWE History at NXT Deadline

Another one for the history books. This past Sunday at NXT Deadline, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods captured the NXT tag team championships by defeating Pretty Deadly. While this was a great moment for The New Day, this championship victory was also historic in a number of ways. As a result of their victory, Kingston broke the record for the most tag team championships in WWE history with 15. The previous record was held by Booker T, who had 14 championship reigns. Kofi Kingston has now officially broken the record for most tag-title reigns in @WWE history.

Next Step: NXT Taking Rare Step Early Next Year

Pack your bags. NXT is in a bit of a strange place at the moment as they are going through another transition. After about a year as NXT 2.0, the promotion has dropped the numbers and seems to be shifting in a new direction with Triple H back in power in WWE. That means some changes to NXT and now we might know the next major step in the company’s new path. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They’re Here: New Day Makes Surprise NXT Appearance, Jumps Into Title Picture According to PWInsider.com, NXT will be heading back on the road for its next premium live event. NXT Vengeance Day is expected to be held on Saturday February 4, 2023 at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. NXT rarely goes on the road, with only one event taking place outside of Orlando, Florida this year, with Stand & Deliver being held in Dallas, Texas. WWE has yet to announce the show. NXT has been on the road before. Check out some of their previous road trips: [This post contains video, click to play] [This p..

They’re Here: New Day Makes Surprise NXT Appearance, Jumps Into Title Picture

It would be new for them. With such a deep roster, WWE is able to split their wrestlers into several groups, with the developmental program getting its own collection of stars. On occasion you will see someone go from one of the two main rosters down to NXT, either for some polishing up or as a surprise. The latter was the case this week, and it might lead to something big. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: NXT Star Returns To The Ring After Injury Absence This week’s NXT featured an in-ring segment with NXT Tag Team Champions Pretty Deadly. The team said that no one could beat them, but were interrupted by New Day. After some insults, New Day challenged Pretty Deadly to an NXT Tag Team Title match at Deadline this weekend. The match was officially announced later in the night. While Xavier Woods is a former NXT star, Kingston has only wrestled as a guest before. They have some history. Check out Kingston, Woods and Pretty Deadly’s time in NXT: [This post contains video, click to play]..

Uso-No: Injury Update On Jey Uso

The more you know. An injury is one of the worst things that you can see happen to a wrestler as it can grind everything to a halt. No matter what they are doing, they can be cut off out of nowhere in the blink of an eye and unfortunately it can happen to anyone. Unfortunately that is the case with a current WWE star, whose injury is a bit different than previously thought. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Jey Uso Injured, MRI Set For Next Week Last week during a European tour, Jey Uso injured his hand during a match but the extent of the damage was not clear. This week on SmackDown, Michael Cole revealed that Uso had undergone an X-Ray and while there was broken bone, there was a chance of some ligament damage. There is nothing to suggest that Uso, who wrestled on this week’s SmackDown, will miss any ring time. He seems ok. Check out the Usos defending their Tag Team Titles against the New Day in a great match: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: This is the kind of thing t..

The Usos Make Major WWE History

Down since Day One. Tonight on Smackdown, The Usos successfully defended their Undisputed Tag Team Championships against the New Day. In doing so, they ensured that they would be making WWE history. This coming Monday, November 14, will mark their 484th day as champions. This means that they will officially become the longest-reigning WWE Tag Team Champions of all time. Jimmy and Jey Uso have held the Smackdown Tag Team Championships since July 18, 2021, when they defeated Rey and Dominik Mysterio at the Money in the Bank premium live event. They would add the Raw Tag Team Championships on May 20 of this year, when they defeated Randy Orton and Matt Riddle (RK-Bro) on an episode of Smackdown. Editor’s Opinion: This is freaking awesome and also very expected. The Bloodline has been the best storyline in professional wrestling over the last several years, and the Usos have firmly established themselves as one of the greatest tag teams of all time. Who knows where this rain could stop..

SmackDown Results – November 11, 2022

Smackdown Date: November 11, 2022 Location: Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis, Indiana Commentators: Michael Cole, Wade Barrett We have just over two weeks to go before Survivor Series and that card has started to come together. We have most of the participants set for the women’s WarGames match so maybe this week we can get someone set up for the men’s. Other than that, New Day is challenging the Usos in the hopes of saving their Tag Team Title record. Let’s get to it. We open with a recap of Roman Reigns retaining the World Title over Logan Paul at Crown Jewel. Opening sequence. Tag Team Titles: New Day vs. Usos The Usos are defending. Jey, with his hand taped, starts with Woods and they stare each other down a bit. Woods grabs a headlock as we hear about the histories between the teams. Kofi springboards in with a crossbody for two on Jey but it’s off to Jimmy with a right hand to the face. Everything breaks down and Kofi hits a Trust Fall onto both Usos as we take a break. W..

Monday Night Raw Results – November 7, 2022

Monday Night Raw Date: November 7, 2022 Location: Mohegan Sun Arena At City Plaza, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Corey Graves We’re done with Crown Jewel and now it is time to get ready for Survivor Series. There weren’t many developments this weekend but we get to find out where some of these stories are going on the way to WarGames. I’m curious to see who is going inside the cage and maybe we find some of that out this week. Let’s get to it. Here are the Usos and Solo Sikoa to get things going. We see a photo of the Bloodline celebrating at the end of Crown Jewel with the Usos promising to beat New Day for the titles on Smackdown. Cue New Day to interrupt with Xavier Woods promising to get the titles back on Friday. The Usos praise New Day’s history and there’s nothing wrong with being the #2s. Woods calls out the Usos for being coddled in a famous wrestling family, which sends Jey into a rant about the pressure that comes with being part of a legendary f..

Jey Uso Injured, MRI Set For Next Week

That’s a rough way to go. There are all kinds of injuries that can take place in any wrestling match and unfortunately there is little way around it. A wrestler can get hurt doing the simplest of moves and it can derail plans for a very long time to come. It can happen to anyone, including a champion, which seems to be the case again as a reigning WWE champion is having an issue. This weekend at WWE Crown Jewel, it was announced that Jey Uso believed he had broken his wrist during a live event during the week. Uso is expected to undergo an MRI on his wrist on Monday to gauge the severity of his injury. Uso and his brother Jimmy retained the WWE Tag Team Titles over the Brawling Brutes. They are set to defend the titles against the New Day next week on SmackDown. It is not clear if the injury is legitimate or part of a storyline. Opinion: Hopefully this is just a storyline issue as it would be terrible to see Jey put on the shelf for any reason, especially when the team is so close to..

WATCH: Sami Zayn Goes Full Roman Reigns On Braun Strowman

That’s a different gimmick. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to get noticed, but most of the time they have their own unique way of doing things in the ring that will get them noticed. At the same time, there are occasions where a wrestler might try to do something that another star is already doing, often in some kind of tribute. That happened again this weekend, in a big way. WWE ran a live event in Glasgow, Scotland over the weekend, featuring a six man tag between New Day and Braun Strowman against the Usos and Sami Zayn. During the match, Zayn used Roman Reigns’ Superman Punch on Strowman and managed to knock him down. Zayn also tried the spear but missed, allowing Strowman to come back for the win. Using Reigns’ offense is something Zayn has done at live events but not on television as of yet. This was pretty good. Check out what Zayn managed to do to Strowman: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: I love seeing things like this as you get to see a fun ..

SmackDown Results – October 14, 2022

Smackdown Date: October 14, 2022 Location: Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, Louisiana Commentators: Wade Barrett, Michael Cole We’re on the road to Crown Jewel but this is going to be the Bray Wyatt Show. After not appearing on Monday Night Raw Wyatt is advertised for this week’s show, meaning we might get an idea of what the new version will be like. Other than that, we find out the new #1 contender to the Intercontinental Title so let’s get to it. We open with Scarlett and Karrion Kross having been in a car wreck outside the arena and barely able to walk. Drew McIntyre runs up and jumps Kross, ramming him into the side of a truck over and over, with the trunk being dented. The door is slammed on Kross and referees break it up, with McIntyre shouting that this is just the beginning. Opening sequence. Kofi Kingston vs. Sami Zayn Before the match, New Day talks about the Usos challenging their Tag Team Title reign. We cut to the back where Jey Uso isn’t happy with Sami Zayn. The p..

Next Time: WWE Cancels Upcoming Event

One less on the calendar. WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world and that gives them a lot of advantages over other companies. One of their major strengths is the name recognition that comes with running regular events around the country. It means something to get to see the action live, but that will not be the case for some fans. According to PWInsider.com, WWE has canceled its upcoming Sunday Stunner event on October 16 in Prescott Valley, Arizona. There was no reason given for the cancellation of the show, which would have been the first WWE event in the venue, and no makeup date announced. The event was to be a SmackDown show, featuring matches such as the New Day vs. the Usos and Drew McIntyre vs. Karrion Kross. Opinion: This one comes a bit out of nowhere and I’m curious to know why the show was canceled. There is always the chance that it was due to low ticket sales, which would not be the most shocking in a new venue. WWE is on a bit of a roll ..
