Update on Nikki & Brie Garcia’s Wrestling Future
It came from the source. It had been previously reported that the Bella Twins were officially leaving WWE for good and had rebranded themselves as Nikki and Brie Garcia. One of the main questions that has risen is the wrestling future, particularly when it comes to AEW. That question was answered today on Instagram Live, where Nikki confirmed that her and her sister would not be going to AEW. You can see a clip of that below: Nikki and Brie Garcia are not going to AEW. pic.twitter.com/PkzCosyUER — Wrestling News (@WrestlingNewsCo) March 15, 2023 Garcia also mentioned that there was fan speculation that things have soured between both them and WWE. She said it seems that way because of “everything in the past” but there are no hard feelings. Editor’s Opinion: I’ll take the Garcias at their word, as they have absolutely no reason to taint their legacy by going to AEW. That being said, it wouldn’t surprise me if Tony Khan threw a bunch of money at them to get a major pop for one nig..

Oh No: Former Impact Wrestling Star Arrested For Violating Order of Protection Involving Wife
That’s not good. There are all kinds of wrestlers in the world today, several of whom have been seen in a variety of promotions. It can be interesting to see where someone goes after they have some success in one place, but unfortunately there are times when someone goes through a problem that is more important than wrestling. That appears to be the situation again and now legal issues are included. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Switch? Speculation Over WWE Possibly Dropping WrestleMania Feud At The Last Minute According to the Clarksville (Tennessee), Today, former Impact Wrestling star Crimson, real name Anthony Mayweather, was arrested on March 8 for violating an order of protection.

Switch? Speculation Over WWE Possibly Dropping WrestleMania Feud At The Last Minute
A totally different way to go. With less than three weeks to go before WrestleMania 39, there is only so much time left to get everything set for the show. That can make for some last minute problems, especially if something comes up that causes an issue. It’s possible that is the case again, and it could have a rather big impact on what we are seeing at WrestleMania. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Try Again: Update On WWE Pitching WrestleMania 39 Ideas To Steve Austin One of the bigger wrestling stories at the moment is the status of Bray Wyatt. While Wyatt has reportedly been dealing with a medical issue, Wyatt has been dealing with Bobby Lashley in recent weeks. However, on Monday, Lashley sent out a tweet talking about how he had worked too had and is willing to face anyone at WrestleMania. There was no mention of Wyatt, suggesting that WWE is moving on to something else for the WrestleMania match. This is NOT seen as a fact but rather speculation at this point.

WRESTLING RUMORS: Possible Sign That Naomi Is Done With WWE
That’s a telling sign. Last May, Naomi and Sasha Banks both walked out on WWE, while still the reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Banks, now known as Mercedes Mone, has since resurfaced in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Naomi however has not been seen in a wrestling capacity since the walk out. Now a new development is suggesting that she is no longer part of WWE whatsoever. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They’re Out? WWE Expected To Split Up NXT Tag Team WrestleCon, the wrestling fan convention held over WrestleMania weekend, has announced that Naomi, under her real name of Trinity Fatu, will be a guest at the convention. WWE contracted wrestlers are rarely allowed to do outside appearances such as this, which would suggest that Naomi is no longer under contract to WWE, or will not be when the convention takes place. This is to be considered speculation as there is NO report that she has officially left WWE. https://twitter.com/wrestlecon/status/1631648476743315457 Naomi was a star while ..

It’s A Dangerous Place: NXT Star Attacked In Parking Lot By Unknown Assailant
They did it again. There are all kinds of ways to write someone off of a wrestling television show, with an injury being one of the most common. Announcing that a wrestler is hurt can take a story in several ways, including the option of someone specific causing the injury. That is a favorite in NXT and now we have seen it again, with another wrestler being attacked. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Missing In Action: Speculation On Matt Riddle’s WWE Status This week on NXT, Wendy Choo was attacked in the NXT parking lot by an unknown assailant.

Missing In Action: Speculation On Matt Riddle’s WWE Status
That’s longer than expected. There are certain reasons that a wrestler has to be taken off of television at times and some of them are a lot more serious than others. Occasionally it is due to a health reason that needs to be addressed, meaning they need to go away for the time being. That seemed to be the case with a WWE star last year, but now things are getting a bit more complicated. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They Have A Point: WWE Reportedly Very High On This New NXT Star Back in December 2022, Matt Riddle was written off of WWE TV by an attack at the hands of Solo Sikoa. This was reportedly done due to Riddle failing a drug test and entering rehab. Shortly after Riddle’s injury was announced on WWE TV, WWE said he would be out of action for six weeks, but over eleven weeks have passed since then. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, there is no word on why WWE is not using Riddle. It was speculated that they might not have anything for him for Wrestlemania or that WWE did not wa..

That’s a way back in. There have been almost countless wrestlers on the WWE roster over the years and some of them have been able to make a bigger impact than others.

That would be a change. NXT stars are in a strange place as they are trying to get over in front of their own television audience but also trying to get over with the WWE.
