Long Form: NXT Star Gives Injury Update, To Miss 11-12 Months With Torn ACL

That’s a very long time. Injuries are one of the worst things that can happen to any wrestler as you never want to see someone put on the shelf. Unfortunately, no matter how much talent, experience or training that a wrestler can have, there is always the chance that something is going to go wrong. That was the case a few weeks back and now we know just how bad things are.

The New Showdown: Interesting Details On Cody Rhodes/Paul Heyman Showdown

They kind of gave it away. We are on the Road To WrestleMania 39 and that means there are a lot of questions that still need to be answered.

Occasionally you will get a hint though and that might have happened regarding an upcoming title match.

He Was Busy: Here Is Why WWE Did Not Run Rumored Edge Matches

That’s a good reason. There are certain stars in WWE who get your attention no matter what they are doing.

And It’s Done: AEW Seemingly Drops Celebrity Storyline With No Explanation

What could have been. Celebrities have been around wrestling for years and it makes all the sense in the world. The idea is that the celebrity’s fans will come over to watch the wrestling events, or at least give the promotion some mainstream publicity for working with a celebrity. Sometimes there are flaws in the stories though and that seems to have taken place again.

She’s a surprise. WWE has all kinds of wrestlers on its roster, which allows it to offer a variety of matches with different stars included.

They may have done that again, albeit with a name that might be a bit surprising given her history. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Star Reportedly Suspended For Wellness Violation According to Fightful Select, Kylie Rae wrestled at this week’s WWE Main Event taping under the name Briana Ray, facing Dana Brooke.

The Other Way: WWE Makes Another Policy Change (And This One Might Not Be So Popular)

No more. There have been a lot of changes in WWE over this year and some of them are changes that will be felt for years to come.

The next steps. There are very few wrestlers in WWE with the star power of Ronda Rousey.

Check out the two in action and how ..

It’s For Later: Wrestling Legend Reveals He Needs Multiple Surgeries

They would help. While wrestling has pre-determined finishes to its matches, the work and effort that the wrestlers put in is very real. Wrestles work hard and put in all kinds of effort whenever they get in the ring. This can result in quite a few injuries and damage to their bodies, which can take a long time to heal up.
