Casting Conflicts: Multiple Wrestlers Upset With Not Appearing On ROH TV Despite Being Present
Can you blame them? There are all kinds of wrestling promotions around the world today and some of them have quite the audience. This is often the result of a television, or at least streaming, presence, with fans being able to see the show around the country or even the world. Appearing on such a show can mean a lot for a wrestler’s career, which is why some issues have arisen. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Rough Landing: AEW Star Out Of Action Due To Injuries Suffered In Nasty Wrestling Crash This week, Ring Of Honor TV returned after a year plus hiatus, with the first episode under Tony Khan’s ownership.

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.

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. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Cameo: Wrestling Legend Competes In First Nationally Televised Match In 9 Years *SPOILERS* AEW has presented a feud between Jade Cargill and her Baddies and rapper Bow Wow on and off over the last few months. This included the team going to a Bow Wow concert and being thrown out, plus a pre-taped video from Bow Wow appearing on AEW Dynamite. However, in an interview with Bootleg Kev, Cargill suggested that the story is over. Cargill said “I don’t know what happened with it. Something was supposed to happen, it didn’t happen, and we moved on from the situation.” There is no word on if Bow Wow wil..

There is nothing to suggest that this will air on television. This was good for a chuckle. C..

Christmas Gift: Backstage Reason For WWE Running Best Of Monday Night Raw Next Week
How nice of them. We are coming up on the end of the year and that means WWE is doing some things a little differently than usual. In this case, that means running a pair of live events on the Monday after Christmas, with Monday Night Raw being different as well. That changes more than a few things, but it seems that it is for the benefit of a certain group of people. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Postpones Major Upcoming International Event This Monday, WWE announced that the December 26 edition of Monday Night Raw would be a special Best Of show rather than a regular episode.

That’s Smart: Interesting Note On Roman Reigns’ Monday Night Raw Appearance
More than meets the eye. WWE runs a lot of television in any given week, with seven hours of national television between Monday Night Raw, NXT and SmackDown.
