Seth Rollins And Becky Lynch Reunite With Former WWE Stars

It’s a reunion. There are all kinds of wrestlers who pass through the WWE roster at one point or another. Some of them make a huge impact but the majority are often little more than footnotes in the company’s history. While they may be talented, they might not have gotten the kind of a chance they needed to go somewhere. Now two top WWE stars have reunited with two talented wrestlers who never got much of a shot. Former WWE stars the Bollywood Boyz (better known as Sunil and Samir Singh) recently visited Seth Rollins’ CrossFit and posed for a photo with Rollins and his wife Becky Lynch. The brothers also praised Rollins Deadboys Fitness program while referring to Rollins and Lynch as their “road family”.

Change Up: NXT Is Going To Be Different For The Next Few Weeks

Get your notes ready. There is a lot of WWE television every single week, which takes place over three different shows. Some of these shows have been on the air for several years and there have been some very impressive moments over the course of those years. This includes several taped shows, with the list growing over the next coming weeks in a surprise change. According to PWInsider.com, NXT has announced that it will be taping two upcoming shows later this week, along with a third show at some point in the future. This means that the June 7, 14 and 21 shows will all be taped in advance, with the June 28 show being back to a live edition. As a result, the three shows following this weekend’s In Your House will be taped in advance. There is no word on why NXT is making the change or whether NXT will continue taping in advance in the future. Opinion: This is an odd one and I’m not sure what is going on, though it could be something as simple as a scheduling conflict in the coming we..

Update On Samoa Joe’s WWE Status, Possibly Switching To A New Role

It’s another career path. Wrestlers have some limited options when it comes to getting out of the industry. While some are able to retire, there are others who do not have the greatest list of opportunities so they are forced to stay in the ring long after they probably should have hung up their boots. There are other chances available for some though and now we might be seeing one wrestler try something new. WWE held tryouts for this week in Orlando, Florida in an attempt to find new stars for the company. Former NXT Champion Samoa Joe was seen at the camp, scouting talent and taking notes on potential signings. This comes after Joe has not been seen since September, when he vacated the NXT Title due to an undisclosed injury. At the time, Dave Meltzer reported that Joe had been wanted in a backstage role in WWE. There is no word on if Joe will wrestle again.

Rumor: They Have A Plan. WWE Is Working On Controlling Size Of WrestleMania Card, Which Matches Might Not Make It?

Not so long my friend. One of the biggest discussions of the entire WrestleMania season has been how long the show is going to be. With a possible seventeen match card, some fans are a bit worried about the show being longer than it ever has before, even with the two hour Kickoff Show. As it turns out, the fans aren’t the only people who have noticed, as WWE has their eye on the problem. According to Rajah.com’s Twitter, WWE is trying to keep the WrestleMania card at thirteen to fourteen matches instead of the rumored seventeen. At the moment, the matches that could be dropped from the card are the Raw Tag Team Titles, the SmackDown Tag Team Titles and the Intercontinental Title. None of these matches have been announced yet, though with four television shows to go, there is a chance for any or all of them to be announced. Some WrestleMania notes: – Was told that Brutus Beefcake is still scheduled to be inducted into HOF – Corey Graves and Renee Young hosting HOF instead of Lawler – ..

WWE Are Making Some Interesting Changes To Future PPVs

According to Steve Carrier of Ringside News, WWE is making some interesting changes to their PPVs moving forward. As Carrier explains, with a growing roster and the combination of Raw and SmackDown for co-branded PPVs, time is of the essence. Now it appears WWE has caught onto that idea and are capitalizing on it. PWInsider notes that WWE has informed international broadcasting partners that their PPVs will now be starting an hour earlier moving forward. PPVs will now last four hours, with roughly two hours devoted to each brand depending on the show and storylines heading into the event. The Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series will all go an extra hour, lasting five hours instead. This change reportedly kicks off with Money In The Bank. The PPV itself is expected to begin at 7 P.M. EST as opposed to 8 P.M. EST. There will still be a Kickoff Show beforehand.

WWE Has Reportedly Lost Interest In Entire Tag Team Division

According to Ringside News, WWE may be completely losing interest in their entire tag team division. This applies to both Raw and SmackDown Live. Mike Johnson indicated on PWInsider Elite Radio that the company may not really care about the division anymore, given the lackluster angles as of late. Here is what he had to say: “I think they have decided that nobody involved in the tag division is worth their time and they’re not going to invest into it because they don’t think it makes them any money. And That’s that.” Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, but there are definitely signs to suggest it is how WWE feels right now. Tag teams have been thrown together on Raw, while on SmackDown Live there is barely any action involving the current tag teams beyond the storyline with The New Day and The Bar. Ringside News notes that this can also be explained by teams getting wins and taking a multitude of losses afterward. They also claim a number of storylines and angles have h..
