They seem happy. Wrestlers have very busy schedules as they are constantly on the road or using their limited down time to rest. That can cause a variety of problems all over the place and finding time for other things can be difficult. This often includes relationships, as wrestlers are away from everything so often. It can occasionally work though, and now two WWE stars are giving it a shot. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LOOK: WWE Star Sends Disturbing Message To Rhea Ripley Current NXT stars Arianna Grace and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo have confirmed that they are in a romantic relationship. Lorenzo posted photos of the two of them together over the 2022 holiday season with Grace commenting “love you much” with hearts included.

Tis the season. We are less than six weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and that means it is time to start setting up the biggest weekend of the WWE’s year. This year’s show takes place in Los Angeles, California and just like last time, WWE is airing some parody movie trailers to tie into the Hollywood theme. The first one has already aired and features two of the bigger stars in WWE today. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: That Looked Awful: WWE Star Helped From Elimination Chamber, Falls Going Down Stairs WWE debuted the first of its WrestleMania movie trailer parodies over the weekend at Elimination Chamber. The trailer features Seth Rollins as the Joker, dancing down a set of stairs. At the bottom, he runs into Batman, played by Becky Lynch but not wearing a mask. The two talk, ultimately agreeing that Lynch, who is not named, is in fact The Man. There is no word on when the next trailer will be released. This was different. Check out the trailer, a trailer for the trailers, and the original..
Welcome back? The Royal Rumble is taking place this weekend and that means it is the season for returning wrestlers. The question about the show’s namesake matches is who will be showing up after not being around for a long time. That can make for some interesting guesses, but now we have a good idea of two more stars who are making their returns. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Switch: WWE Changes Plans For Upcoming Women’s Title Matches According to PWInsider.com by way of Ringsidenews.com, Chelsea Green and Matt Cardona are believed to return to WWE at the Royal Rumble, with Cardona returning as Zack Ryder. The two would return to the main roster rather than appearing in NXT. This is still not confirmed, though it is believed that Cardona finished up with Impact Wrestling at their latest TV tapings. They have some history. Check out the two in WWE, plus in a tag match together: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains vid..
That’s different. We are officially in the busy season for WWE as the Road To WrestleMania is set to begin on Saturday at the Royal Rumble. That is the kind of show that changes the way WWE operates and several important moments can take place during the night. WWE has already changed things around on the show though and one big match is not going to take place. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Already: Bray Wyatt Receives Surprise Designation On WWE SmackDown Roster According to Fightful Select, WWE has made a change to a planned Royal Rumble title match. The December 30 SmackDown Women’s Title match featuring Ronda Rousey successfully defending against Raquel Rodriguez was originally scheduled for the January 28 Royal Rumble but WWE changed the plans. In addition, Charlotte’s return and title win were moved to SmackDown as well, in an effort to beef up the show. There is no word on what this means for other planned matches, including Rhea Ripley vs. Rousey and Charlotte vs. Bianca Belair. It..
That’s a lot of money. We are in the middle of one of the most important periods in the history of WWE, as the company may be sold at some point in the near future. That is going to shake things up in WWE in a huge way, likely including when it comes to their television deals. WWE’s television deals are set to expire next year, and it seems one of them is not doing so well. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Things Change: What Might Happen To Vince McMahon If WWE Is Sold According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, a Morgan Stanley study found that FOX is losing over $100 million a year by airing SmackDown under the current deal with WWE. In the 2020-21 television season, FOX paid $196.7 million for SmackDown and reported losses of $134 million. In 2021-22, those numbers increased to $208.5 million paid and $145 million in losses. These losses are expected to get worse in the final two years of the deal. The belief is that there are not enough wrestling fans to make up the difference, as th..
He’s done. Retirement is a tricky concept in wrestling as a wrestler can always come back for one more match if given the chance. Rather than having to wrestler a full season of matches like a mainstream athlete would, a wrestler can jump in and out whenever they like. In this situation though, a wrestling legend is indicating that his career is entirely over once and for all. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s New: WWE Reportedly Signs Former New Japan Star During an appearance on the Two Man Power Trip Of Wrestling podcast, wrestling legend Tully Blanchard announced that his contract with AEW/Ring Of Honor was up and that his wrestling career was “probably over”. Blanchard, 69 years old, worked with AEW as a manager, appearing with various wrestlers such as FTR and Shawn Spears. He last appeared with the company in 2022 when his stable was purchased by Prince Nana. Blanchard had an amazing career. Check out some of his highlights: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post c..
She has potential. One of the most common criticisms of wrestlers is that they are only acting. Wrestlers are seen as people playing roles in fake stories. At the same time, they are rarely given credit for their acting skills, as they are often told that they are wrestlers instead of actors. You will occasionally see the two paths cross, and now another top WWE star may be interested in such a move. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: WWE And AEW Couple Hit The Weights In The Gym Earlier this year, WWE star Becky Lynch appeared on the third season debut of Young Rock. Lynch’s husband Seth Rollins was interviewed by WQAD News (ABC affiliate in Moline, Illinois) where he talked about Lynch’s acting career. Rollins said that Lynch’s acting career is starting to “perk up a little bit and that’s where she wants to go”. He went on to say that if the two eventually went “out west”, so be it, though they would be fine to stay where they are. Lynch has dabbled in acting on and off throughout her t..
He’s done. Retirement is a tricky subject for wrestlers as it can be hard to hang up their boots for the final time. While more mainstream athletes have to complete one more season, wrestlers are able to go out and have one more match at almost anytime they want. That makes officially retiring harder than it seems, but one legend seems pretty sure he is out. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s Still Got It: John Cena Proves His Drawing Power In WWE During a recent appearance on the Culture State podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Shawn Michaels was asked if he would be coming out of retirement for one more match. Michaels flat out said that he was done, saying “I’ve had that final match” and that he was happy with his career and wanted to see the next generation get their chance. Michaels, 57 years old, last wrestled at Crown Jewel 2018, ending an eight year retirement. He now runs the NXT developmental program for WWE. Michaels had an amazing career. Check out the full interview, plus some of his ..
Smackdown Date: December 23, 2022 Location: Allstate Arena, Rosemont, Illinois Commentators: Michael Cole, Wade Barrett It’s a taped show from Chicago, which means the fans should be livelier than most regular crowds. Since it is the Christmas season, the main event is a Miracle On 34th Street Fight as Ricochet and Braun Strowman vs. Imperium, but we also have a gauntlet match for a future Women’s Title match. Let’s get to it. Here is the Bloodline to get things going. Paul Heyman talks about all of their upcoming wins, including the Usos defeating Hit Row later tonight and Solo Sikoa getting another victory. Next week though, it’s the biggest televised match of the year, as Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn team up to defeat Kevin Owens and John Cena. Reigns get the mic, but has to pause for a SAMI chant. Next week, Reigns is going to SMASH someone, but Sami is looking a little off. Reigns tells him to get it off of his chest, so Sami talks about how he has found family and respect in the..
That would be new. We are almost to the start of WrestleMania season and that could make for some interesting developments. As we move towards the biggest show of the year, some of the bigger WWE stars begin making more appearances. That can make for some unique stories and now WWE is at least talking about doing something that has never been done before. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Velveteen Dream Arrest Video Released Earlier this month, a report came out suggesting that Gunther vs. Brock Lesnar was possible for WrestleMania 39. According to Xero News on Twitter, there has been at least some small discussion of having Lesnar defeat Gunther, the reigning Intercontinental Champion, for the title, which would be the first of Lesnar’s career. There are some who feel this would help boost up the midcard titles, as WWE has been attempting to do in recent months. The match has yet to be announced and Gunther and Lesnar have had no interactions. There has been atleast some small talk of..
The original plan. We are in the middle of the holiday season and that means things can go a little bit different in WWE. This includes taping some shows in advance so the wrestlers can have a bit of time off. WWE did just that this week as they taped a pair of SmackDowns on the same night. However, things were not quite as they were planned, with one wrestler missing the event. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: A Way To Go: WWE Hall Of Famer Thinks 44 Year Old Could End Retirement Soon This week’s edition of SmackDown aired live and was focused around an upcoming tag match between Roman Reigns/Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens/a partner of his choosing. The end of the show saw John Cena revealed as Owens’ partner, though Owens never appeared. According to Fightful Select, Owens was originally scheduled to appear on the show and introduce Cena as his partner in person. However, Owens was forced to miss the show due to what was described as a “nightmare travel situation”. Owens and Cena are scheduled to..
That’s what’s up next. We are closing in on the end of the year and that means a lot of people are getting into the holiday season. This includes WWE as well, as the company has several things to take care of before the year is closed out. At the same time though, WWE is going to want to give its wrestlers a break from some of their regular shows, and that is what they covered this week. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He Did What? More On Huge Upset This Week On AEW Dynamite WWE taped the next two episodes of NXT TV this week in anticipation of the holidays. On Wednesday, NXT TV for December 21 and December 28 were taped, assuming there is no Best Of or special edition airing in its place. Several of the upcoming matches were announced in advance during this week’s edition of NXT. Here are the results, courtesy of Fightful: December 20: * Carmelo Hayes def. Axiom, who hit him with a moonsault after the match. * Grayson Waller told Bron Breakker to meet him in the ring. * Zoey Stark def. Nik..
Welcome back. Wrestlers have a weird situation when it comes to retirement, as they can always wrestle one more match. With no season or anything really close to it, a wrestler can step back in the ring over and over without having to worry about the next match. That can lead to some great returns, and now we are going to be seeing another one before the year is out. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: There He Is: Reason For Monday Night Raw Star’s Hiatus Revealed During an appearance on ESPN Radio 97.5, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T., 57 years old, announced that he will be returning to the ring on December 18. Booker T. will be teaming with the Mysterious Q to face Fly Def (Warren Johnson/Zack Mason) at Reality Of Wrestling (Booker T.’s promotion) Christmas Chaos. This will be Booker T.’s second match of the year and July, when he wrestled in a ten man tag. Booker T. is one of the better stars in WWE history. Check out the announcement and some of his better moments: [This post contains video, ..
Family feud? The last two plus years in WWE have been all about Roman Reigns. With one of the longest World Title reigns in history, there is no way of knowing how long it will be before Reigns finally loses his title. Several names have wanted to get in on the Reigns train, and now we are seeing another member a very prominent wrestling family throwing his hat into the ring. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: A Relief: Logan Paul Reveals Very Good News On His Knee Injury During the second season of the Young Rock series, the Rock’s character teased a future WrestleMania match with Reigns. This match has been rumored for WrestleMania 39 in April 2023, though nothing has been confirmed. In a new interview with Wrestlinginc.com, Chavo Guerrero, who works on Young Rock, said that he would love for some people from the show, including himself, to be part of the match. Guerrero left WWE in 2011 and has since wrestled for various wrestling promotions while also working in wrestling related films and t..
He’s still got it? Retirement is a weird thing in wrestling as you never know when you are going to be seeing a wrestler for the last time. It isn’t like they can come back for another season or have to wrestle a minimum of several matches before they can hang up their boots. Wrestlers can come back for a one off match whenever they like and that is what a former champion is going to do. Former WWE star and current producer Jamie Noble has announced that he will be returning to the ring during WWE’s upcoming live tour. Noble will be wrestling against an opponent to be named on December 11 at the Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia, Noble’s home state. Noble, 45 years old, has not wrestled since June 8, 2015 and has not had a singles match since January 13, 2013. It was noted that this may be his last ever match for WWE and there is nothing to suggest this is a full time return to the ring.

He would know best. Wrestlers have a difficult task when it comes to retirement. Since there is no off season in wrestling, it is easy to keep taking one more match and keep going on and on. Some of them do figure out a way to get away from the ring but you might not always see it coming. Now a current WWE star is having to explain that he is not ready to hang it up just yet. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Surprise Name Completes Men’s WarGames Match On SmackDown Monday Night Raw star MVP recently responded to a tweet asking what is one thing he would never buy again. MVP said “wrestling boots”, which led fans to wonder if he was announcing his retirement. As a result, MVP responded, saying that he meant he would never buy another pair because he has several and was not announcing his retirement from the ring. MVP is currently managing Monday Night Raw’s Omos and wrestled his most recent match on the July 18, 2022 Monday Night Raw. Wrestling boots… ? https://t.co/xIlYdL4fAb — MVP (..
That’s pretty awesome. There are all kinds of people in the wrestling world and all of them have lives going on outside of the ring that we rarely see. They have the same kind of lives that we do, including some things that can be rather positive to hear. Now another WWE personality has some more great news and is sharing his family’s announcement with the world. WWE broadcaster Pat McAfee and his wife Samantha have announced that they are expecting their first child in may. Samantha revealed that she has lost two pregnancies in the past and this one was conceived via IVF. Pat thanked everyone who has helped them through the rough times to get to this point, including friends and family. Pat is currently on hiatus from his job as SmackDown commentator and is expected back after college football season ends. After about 150 shots, a surgery, a transfer, countless blood tests, waiting on embryos, genetic testing, hoping for a big fat positive on a pee stick. So much support from family..
