NXT Date: March 7, 2023 Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Vic Joseph, Booker T. This is the Roadblock special, because we need a special event less than a month before what is probably the biggest NXT event of the year. Since the NXT Champion is in a six man tag, the real main event is probably Shawn Michaels appearing on the Grayson Waller Effect. NXT has teased Michaels fighting Waller, so odds are we see who is doing it in Michaels’ place this week. Let’s get to it. We open with Tiffany’s Epiphanies, as Tiffany Stratton runs down the card and talks about how we got here. Tony D’Angelo vs. Dijak This is the Jailhouse Street Fight, meaning a casket match with a jail cell. Dijak tries a nightstick to start but gets clotheslined to the floor instead. It’s way too early to send Dijak into the cell but D’Angelo fights his way out of it too. After Stacks gets knocked down, they head back inside where Dijak hits High Justice onto a chair. Dijak throws in ..
Sights set. There are all kinds of talented wrestlers on the WWE roster but it can be difficult for all of them to find something to do. With that many people, even the amount of television time that WWE has is often not enough. Sometimes those wrestlers have to be grouped together, and that is what a certain manager is teasing again, with quite the array of names. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Let’s Get Rowdy: Update On Ronda Rousey’s WrestleMania 39 Status MVP has posted a photo to his Instagram, showing him backstage with Omos, the Street Profits and NXT’s Carmelo Hayes. The caption says that MVP is “backstage in Boston to talk to some people…” but does not say what they were talking about. This comes amid rumors of Hayes being called up to the main roster and possibly joining the Hurt Business, but those plans were never confirmed. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The 305 MVP (@the305mvp) There is some talent there. Check out these stars in action: [This post contains vid..
It’s a dangerous sport. There are all kinds of ways a wrestler can get hurt inside the ring but it can be just as dangerous outside. No matter how much training a wrestler might have had or how much experience they have under their belt, there is the chance that something could go wrong. It can be made even worse with a dangerous spot, and now again it has caused a wrestler to be hurt. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Needs A New Spot: AEW Star Dropped From Current Storyline On the January 13 edition of AEW Rampage, Anna Jay took part in a street fight, teaming with Tay Melo against Ruby Soho and Willow Nightingale. During the match, Jay was powerbombed off the stage and through a table, only to miss the table and land on the floor instead. Jay revealed on her Twitter that she has suffered dislocated ribs as a result of the landing. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, she has not wrestled since as a result of the injury and there is no word on when she will wrestle again. No bruis..
It’s a violent sport. There are all kinds of ways a wrestler can get hurt in the ring, but if they can get through a match, the trick is to hide their injuries as well as possible. That is one of the hardest parts, but it can make the stories about how the wrestlers made it work all the more impressive. That was the situation again recently, as an AEW star was a lot more injured during a match than she let on. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Farewell: AEW Star Reportedly Leaving Company After Three Year Run Back on the January 13, 2023 Rampage, Tay Melo and Anna Jay were defeated by Willow Nightingale and Ruby Soho in a street fight. Melo was recently interviewed by Elite POV and revealed that she had been suffering from a back injury before the match, which was made worse during the match. The injury has been a problem for over ten years, including leaving her in a wheelchair in the airport the day before the match. Melo was able to wrestle the match but has not been medically cleared to wre..
Monday Night Raw Date: February 27, 2023 Location: Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Michigan Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Corey Graves We are less than five weeks away from Wrestlemania and you can see a lot of the show’s card from here. That means we should be in for a good event, as there is time to build things up in advance. Odds are we’ll hear a lot from Cody Rhodes this week, which often works out well. Let’s get to it. We open with a recap of Friday’s Bloodline issues, as Sami Zayn seems to still be getting inside Jey Uso’s mind. Here are Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa to mock the idea of there being problems in the Bloodline. Families fight all the time but if you come for one of them, you come for all of them. There have been a lot of people who thought the Bloodline was over and they were all wrong. So get them some opponents out here. Cue the Street Profits, who shout a lot and ask where Jey Uso is. Trash is talked and we’re ready to go. Jimmy Uso/Solo Sikoa vs. Street Profits J..
They have spoken. WWE recently released a video in which several superstars give their predictions for who will win the 2023 Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadephia Eagles. The game is being played at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. You can see the video below: [This post contains video, click to play] The superstars and their picks are as follows: Street Profits – Eagles Baron Corbin – Chiefs The Miz – Chiefs Ricochet – Eagles Dolph Ziggler – Chiefs Bobby Lashley – Chiefs Madcap Moss – Eagles Austin Theory – Chiefs Sarah Schriber – Chiefs Ashante Thee Adonis – Eagles Top Dolla – Chiefs B-Fab – Eagles Tegan Nox – Doesn’t Care Editor’s Opinion: Most of the superstars interviewed are riding with the Chiefs, which I totally get because they have Patrick Mahomes. However, I’ve thought that, for the most of the year, the Eagles have been the most complete team with that explosive office, under Jalen Hurts. Because of the fact that I think the Eagles have..
They worked well the first time. WWE has been around for a very long time and has a deep history. The company has done a lot of things over the years, with some of them being rather memorable. Those moments are often things that only happened once due to one reason or another, but now WWE might be bringing back some of the most memorable vignettes they have ever done. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: WWE Star Teases Major Turn After SmackDown Goes Off The Air Back in 2005, WrestleMania 21 was held in Los Angeles, California, with a theme of WrestleMania Goes Hollywood. To help build the show, WWE released several parody movie trailers, featuring stars portraying famous movie characters. According to WrestleVotes, WWE is planning to create more of the parody trailers for this year’s show. Miz, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, the Brawling Brutes and the Street Profits are expected to be involved. WrestleMania 39 takes place on April 1 and 2. I’m hearing WWE has begun filming brand new “movie par..
That’s a big one. Vince McMahon is back in charge of WWE and that has led to a string of questions about what is coming next. No one is quite sure about where things are going in the future, but there is also the question of a variety of issues from McMahon past. Now though, he has wrapped up at least one of them with the help of his rather large bank account. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: It Was A Great Ride: WWE Hall Of Famer Parts Ways With Company According to the Wall Street Journal, McMahon has agreed to a multi-million dollar settlement with former WWE referee Rita Chatterton, who has accused McMahon of raping her in a limousine in 1986. McMahon’s lawyer, Jerry McDevitt, said that still denies the charges and settled with Chatterton to avoid the cost of a trial. There is no word on the exact amount paid, but it is said to be a lump sum followed by annual payments. This is the latest in a string of such payments to women who have accused McMahon of sexual misconduct. Payoffs have a h..
That’s not good. While WWE is the biggest wrestling promotion in the world, it is not the only place for wrestlers to go. It can mean a lot to see a wrestler jump from one promotion to another, but there are certain safeguards that can prevent the impact from being too great. The most basic of those is a contract, but in one instance, WWE let someone wrestle in a prominent spot without one. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: WWE Superstar Goes Missing, Help Requested To Find Him WWE star Dominik Mysterio appeared on the Keepin’ It 100 podcast and revealed that he did not have a contract for his first major WWE match. Mysterio said that he faced Seth Rollins in a street fight at Summerslam 2020 without a contract. He appeared on television and also at the Payback pay per view a week after Summerslam on good faith before officially being signed to the company. Since then, Mysterio has gone on to become a SmackDown Tag Team Champion and is now a member of the Judgment Day stable. Mysterio h..
That’s a different way to go. There are several different ways to push a wrestling star or a group of them together. Some of these have been done for decades and long term fans know a good deal of them. At the same time, there are a few that are a lot less common and you can be a good bit surprised by them. That seems to be the case again, as WWE is trying something different. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Lacey Evans Has Awkward Interaction With Fan WWE has released a new edition of its Making It Maximum series, focusing on the Maximum Male Models. In the video, the team looks for a fourth member but gets stressed by the process. This led to an argument between the team and Mace left. The rest of the video shows Mace wandering the street, as Mansoor puts up posters asking fans to help him fine Mace. The team has not wrestled on television since October 2022. Have you see him? Check out the missing Mace, plus what happens when he is around: [This post contains video, click to play]..
Rampage Date: January 13, 2023 Location: Kia Forum, Los Angeles, California Commentators: Jim Ross, Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, Chris Jericho We’re still in Los Angeles and you know that is going to mean a big show. I’m not sure what all it is going to entail but that is some of the fun of Rampage. This week’s Dynamite was a strong show so they have a lot to live up to this week. If nothing else, there is a street fight so that means violence. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. TNT Title: Juice Robinson vs. Darby Allin Allin is defending. Feeling out process to start with Robinson grabbing a waistlock to send the champ to the ropes. A headlock slows Robinson down but he grabs a belly to back suplex to escape. The backsplash only hits knees though and Allin is back with another headlock. This time Robinson sends him up and over the top for a nasty crash to the floor, followed by some whips into various hard things. A drop onto the steps rocks Allin again and we take a break. Back wit..
What could have been. For thirty years now, WWE has presented Monday Night Raw almost every Monday night as its flagship program. That is one heck of a trick as it is not easy to find a way to produce that much content over and over. The show has to have some adjustments made some time and that was the situation again this week, as multiple changes were made. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: As They Should: WWE Team Praised For Recent Efforts, One Member Stands Out According to Fightful Select, there were multiple changes made to the original plan of this week’s Monday Night Raw. Originally, Akira Tozawa was scheduled to accompany the Street Profits to the ring during the Tag Team Turmoil match. In addition, the Usos were planned to accompany Solo Sikoa to the ring for his match with Dolph Ziggler. There is no word on why WWE made these changes. It was a long night. Check out what we got instead: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [This po..
He wants back in. The biggest wrestling story in a busy 2022 was the retirement of Vince McMahon from WWE. After nearly forty years in charge of the company, McMahon retired amid an internal investigation over a series of payments but still remained the company’s majority owner. However, now something else has chanced and we could be in for something very different. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Over There: WWE Taking Annual Event To London Later This Year Last month, a report stated that McMahon was planning a comeback to WWE. According to the Wall Street Journal, McMahon is attempting to have himself and former co-WWE Presidents Michelle Wilson and George Barrios elected to the WWE Board of Directors. This would require three current Board members to vacate their positions. McMahon has also said he will not support any media rights deal (with negotiations expected to begin before the current deals expire in 2024) or sale of the company. McMahon has issued a press release: Submits written..
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, 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..
Monday Night Raw Date: December 19, 2022 Location: Wells Fargo Arena, Des Moines, Iowa Commentators: Kevin Patrick, Corey Graves It’s the last show before Christmas and possibly the last show of the year depending on what they do next week. There is still a lot of time before the Royal Rumble but we have another big match coming up on December 30. John Cena is on his way back to WWE and that should have some people talking. Let’s get to it. Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns are here, with Reigns saying he is around here to deal with Kevin Owens.

They seem to be a no. There have been a lot of changes to the wrestling world this year and the biggest of them all seems to have been that of Vince McMahon retiring from WWE. McMahon was accused of various relationships with women and paying them off using company funds. The shakeup was felt throughout the company as well as the wrestling world. McMahon had been the force in WWE for such a long time, though a recent report suggested that might be changing again. It just seems that some people are not pleased. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: NXT Set To Change Title Belt Designs Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that McMahon was planning a comeback to WWE at some point in the future, believing that he was given bad advice when he was told to retire. According to Fightful Select, over a dozen people in WWE spoke about the situation and the “rarely unanimous” reaction was not wanting McMahon back. One wrestler said they would be worried about the recently rehi..
An old look. Titles are some of the most important things in a wrestling promotion. A wrestler holding a title is one of the signs that the company has made an investment into them and it makes them feel like more important deals. The titles themselves are easy to identify as they are big shiny belts, but sometimes they need to be replaced. Now that is the case again, albeit with an old taste. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: BREAKING: Mandy Rose Released By WWE According to Belt Fan Dan on Twitter, NXT is planning on replacing their current collection of championship belts. NXT’s rainbow championships will be replaced by their previous non-colored designs. There is no word on when the change will take place or when the titles will be switched back to their previous designs. The older versions had been in use since March 2017. Word on the street is the rainbow NXT belts are going to be replaced with the prior non-colored ones. — Dan Beltzer (@BeltFanDan) December 14, 2022 There have been so..
Even more. Earlier this year, the wrestling world was rocked by the announcement that Vince McMahon was under an official WWE investigation over allegations of inappropriate relationships with various women. McMahon was accused of using company funds to pay the women for their silence, spending millions of dollars in the process. McMahon officially retired from WWE in July, but things are not done yet. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: How Much? Sasha Banks’ New Japan Contract Reportedly Beats Chris Jericho’s According to the Wall Street Journal, two more women are seeking payment from McMahon over allegations of sexual assault. First, former WWE referee Rita Chatterton is demanding $11.75 million from McMahon. Chatterton accused McMahon of sexual assault in 1986 though no charges were ever filed. In addition, an attorney for a second, unnamed woman is demanding payment over an alleged assault by McMahon at a California spa in 2011. The woman’s husband attempted to confront McMahon at a WWE li..
