WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Could Bring Back Two Former Champions To Work With Bray Wyatt

November 11, 2022

He has them in mind. WWE’s roster has been changing a lot in recent months and there is nothing to indicate that those changes are slowing down. Several former stars have returned to the company and it can be fascinating to see who comes back next. One of the biggest names to return is now looking for some help and it turns out he has some people in mind. According to WrestleVotes during an interview with Give Me Sport, Bray Wyatt has some wrestlers he likes working with and given his current popularity, WWE would consider bringing them back in if they were interested. The two names mentioned are Wyatt’s brother Bo Dallas and former Wyatt Family member Erick Rowan. There is currently nothing to suggest that they are back with the company or that they will be returning anytime soon. Rowan left WWE in 2020 and Dallas in 2021. You might not remember them.

Former WWE Star Posts Old Photo, Leading To Speculation About Bray Wyatt Connection

October 28, 2022

Let him in too? The return of Bray Wyatt at WWE Extreme Rules has changed the main event scene of WWE and now the question becomes what happens from here. There are a lot of ways the story could go and since it’s something involving Wyatt, the chances of someone being added to mix is rather high. WWE has already teased someone new being involved and a former Wyatt associate is hinting that it could be him. Last week on SmackDown, a Wyatt vignette led to a cowboy who said “howdy”, though it was not clear who the man was. Shortly thereafter, former WWE star and Wyatt Family member Erick Redbeard, formerly Erick Rowan, posted an image of himself with his eyes missing, saying it was an “old photo”. This has led to fans speculating that Redbeard could be part of the upcoming Wyatt stable, though it is not clear if that will be the case.

Original Plan For Erick Rowan’s Giant Spider Revealed (It’s A Little Better)

October 16, 2022

There was something in mind. WWE runs a lot of different angles on television in any given year. Some of them are more memorable than others and you will occasionally see one that sticks out for years. That might not always be a good thing though and now we know the original plans behind one of the more infamously strange stories that the company has presented in recent memory. Back in November 2019, Erick Rowan began carrying a cage to the ring with him but no one could see what was inside. Over the next several months, whatever was in the cage proceeded to bite several people, including Rowan himself. The creature was eventually revealed to be a large spider, which was then crushed a week later. During a new interview with the 10 Count podcast, Rowan revealed that Seth Rollins told him the original plan called for the creature to be a pet rat. Rowan liked the idea as he felt it tied into his previous story where he tried to kill Roman Reigns. There is no word on why WWE changed plan..

Details On Wyatt 6 Stable, Likely Members And Characters

October 14, 2022

That’s a plan. There are all kinds of wrestlers on the WWE roster and it can be difficult to find something for all of them to do. One of the most effective ways to present someone can be to put them together into a big stable so wrestlers can get their own television time together. Now it seems that WWE is interested in putting together a bunch of people under quite the monster leader. Last weekend at Extreme Rules, Bray Wyatt returned to the company after a year plus absence. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Wyatt is expected to lead a stable called the Wyatt 6, a term he trademarked earlier in the year. The members will be based on characters from the Firefly Fun House, with the following wrestlers portraying them: Joe Gacy as Huskus Grayson Waller as Mercy the Buzzard Alexa Bliss as Sister Abigail Erick Rowan as Ramblin Rabbit Bo Dallas as The Fiend Liv Morgan and the Dyad are also considered as possible members in the place of some of the other names.

Update On WWE’s Current Plans For The Rock At WrestleMania 39

April 1, 2022

You might want to get him. There are very few stars in the history of professional wrestling as the Rock. Despite not being around for very long compared to other top names, the Rock was regularly on top of WWE for a few years before moving on to Hollywood and conquering it as well. Even as a top movie star, the Rock continues to pop in to WWE from time to time though, and that might be the case again. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, the current plan is still to have the Rock face Roman Reigns in a match at WrestleMania 39 next year in Los Angeles. The theory at the moment is that the Rock wants to have the match but his schedule could get in the way. Age is a factor as well, as Rock will be turning fifty years old later this year. Rock has not wrestled a match since 2016, when he defeated Erick Rowan in six seconds at WrestleMania 32. Opinion: This is firmly in the “I’ll believe it when I see it” category, but if WWE can pull this off, and have Reigns face the Rock after a tw..

Surprise AEW Debut Sets Up New Revolution Match

March 5, 2022

Welcome back and get going. There are a lot of wrestlers on the AEW roster as the company has put together quite the collection of talent. The company has a great mixture of top level stars, up and coming wrestlers and younger names starting to get noticed. It can be interesting to see what happens when someone else is added to the mix and that was the case this week. This week on AEW Rampage, Alex Abrahantes, Pac and Penta Obscuro challenged the House of Black to a six man tag at Revolution. The House of Black appeared and accepted the challenge, but Abrahantes said that he had someone else in mind to take his place. This brought out Erick Redbeard, formerly known as Erick Rowan, to help clear out the House of Black, with the six man tag being announced for Revolution. Redbeard has appeared for AEW before, making a one off appearance on the Brodie Lee memorial show in 2022. Opinion: This is one of those cameos that I didn’t see coming but it was something that made me think it was a..

LOOK: Wyatt Family Reunites Over The Weekend

November 29, 2021

Good to see you again. Stables can be a fascinating concept in wrestling because there are so many people put together all at once. It can make for a nice collection of talent being able to showcase themselves all at once, which opens up some doors. At the same time though, it can be quite the hit when a stable splits up. Not all splits are permanent though, and we saw a pretty cool reunion over the weekend. The WrestleCade convention took place over the weekend in North Carolina. Both Adam Scherr and Erick Redbeard, formerly known as Braun Strowman and Erick Rowan, were at the convention and posed together for a photo. The two were part of the Wyatt Family in WWE but both were released from the company in the last two years. Neither have been signed to a major promotion.

Wrestling Star Appears On Game Show And Wins Big

October 30, 2021

I’ll take that bet. Wrestling is quite the good choice for television programming as wrestlers often make for great on-screen characters. They are often over the top and larger than life, or at least larger than most people around them. That allows for some entertaining moments, especially if you can get them out of the ring every now and then. That was the case again this week. Former WWE star Erick Rowan appeared on the game show You Bet Your Life this week. During the show, Rowan was mentioned as being a professional wrestler, including his loss to the Rock in six seconds at WrestleMania 32. Rowan and his partner won $5,500, the most a team can win on the show, by answering trivia questions about things associated with Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Rowan is still active, having wrestled on the independent circuit earlier this month. Drop the answer you think is right in the comment section, then tune in tonight to see if you and this unlikely pair of contestants, get the right answer!..

FULL WrestleMania Match: John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt From WrestleMania 30

July 26, 2021

Flashback. John Cena is back in a big way for WWE and it seems that he is on the road to Summerslam for a huge match against Roman Reigns. Cena has a history of being in the spotlight for WWE and it has been going on for a very long time now. With such a history to his credit, there are going to be some great matches throughout his credit. WWE is taking a look back at just that. WWE has posted the full video of Cena’s match with Bray Wyatt from WrestleMania 30. The match was Wyatt’s WrestleMania debut and included Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in his corner. The story of the match centered around Wyatt attempting to force Cena to be more aggressive and therefore destroy his legacy. While Cena considered attacking Wyatt with a chair, Cena ultimately turned down the chance and faced Wyatt on his own. This was a cool one.

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between.

Erick Rowan Reveals Bizarre Pitch For WWE Cage Angle

August 14, 2020

It might have been better. There are a lot of angles that come and go in wrestling with some of them having better results than others. You never know what you might see in the big payoff, because wrestling companies, including WWE, are going to be able to come up with some completely out there endings. That was the case with an angle earlier this year, but it was originally going to be completely different, and maybe in a better way. Back in November 2019, Erick Rowan started carrying around a cage. There was something inside of the cage, but no one but Rowan was allowed to know what it was. Every now and then, Rowan would allow someone to see what it was and they were all terrified of what was going on. Whatever it was would bite anyone who came near it, including Rowan. It became a story where something had to be in there, and eventually it was revealed. Things could have been very, very different. Rowan, now known as Erick Redbeard, was interviewed by Sportskeeda.com and revealed..

(VIDEO): They Had Potential. Team Splits On SmackDown Live As A Big Storyline Takes A Twist.

August 28, 2019

They worked so well together. Teams come and go all the time in wrestling and you never can tell when things are going to go south for what seems like a good pairing. Ever since the Rockers’ split back in 1991, WWE has seemed more fixated on destroying a team rather than having them last for a long time. Another team seemed to come to an end this week and it was rather sudden. This week on SmackDown Live, Roman Reigns showed a video that seemed to show Erick Rowan helping in the forklift attack that almost took Reigns out. Rowan’s partner Daniel Bryan yelled at Rowan and slapped him in the face while calling Rowan a liar. This seemed to dissolve their partnership, while also announcing Rowan as at least one of Reigns’ attackers. Rowan and Bryan have been a team since January and held the SmackDown Tag Team Titles from May 7 until July 14 of this year. So much for that.

Smackdown Date: August 27, 2019 Location: Raising Cane’s River Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana Commentators: Corey Graves, Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton The first round of the King of the Ring wraps up tonight and it’s getting pretty clear that Raw is the favored side. The talent pool just feels deeper over there as this show is going to include Shelton Benjamin getting a first round match. Maybe that would have been interesting fifteen years ago but it doesn’t quite work right now. Let’s get to it. We open with the same video on Roman Reigns’ attacks that we saw last night. Reigns promises a response to Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan in the ring tonight. Here’s Kofi Kingston for a chat, but first we see a video on Randy Orton’s attacks since Summerslam.

The New Day Contemplating “Quitting” WWE: What Happens Now? (VIDEO)

March 20, 2019

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.

Injured Former Champion Returns To Action On Saturday

Welcome home. There’s something very cool when a wrestler returns from an injury. You get to see them for the first time after what could be a long or short layoff and the question becomes how fast they can get back to where they were before.

Rumor: WWE Wants The Rock Back And Has A Specific Plan In Mind For Him

September 8, 2018

Rock on a roll? It’s safe to say that the Rock is one of the biggest stars in all of entertainment with wrestling just being a small part of the deal. However, wrestling was where the whole thing started. There are some long periods where Rock isn’t around, but every now and then he’ll pop up again.

The plan would be for Rock to appear at the 1000th episode of SmackDown Live on October 16, the Royal Rumble and then WrestleMania 35 in April.

WWE Officials Have Changed Their Minds About SAnitY’s Debut On SmackDown Live

May 27, 2018

Last week, it was reported that WWE officials were holding off on SAnitY’s debut on SmackDown Live because they wanted to slowly bring new talent to television after the Superstar Shakeup rather than have too many debuts and new characters to balance. However, it’s been two months and Eric Young, Killian Dain, and Alexander Wolfe have yet to appear on SmackDown or NXT since WrestleMania 34.

Here’s What Could Bring The Rock Back Full-Time to WWE

May 24, 2018

Aside from a very brief match with Erick Rowan in Dallas, The Rock has not wrestled a full match since WrestleMania 29. He hasn’t even appeared on WWE television in over two years, but the WWE Universe continues to hope he will wrestle again eventually. Unfortunately, The Great One’s commitments to Hollywood and insurance policies make it very difficult for him to make an appearance unless he clears time in his schedule. On paper, there’s no reason for him to wrestle again, but here’s what could bring him back. Related: Vince McMahon Has Reportedly Canceled a ‘WrestleMania’ Concert With the Rock and Elias According to PWInsider Radio, Mike Johnson was speculating about The Rock’s future in wrestling and it’s clear the only thing that would bring him back to the squared circle would be The People’s Champion himself. If he wanted to wrestle another match, WWE officials would be over the moon because the company can always use his star power. The truth is The Great One can’t and won’t..
