December 30, 2022 • Admin

Uh oh. Injuries can happen to anyone at anytime in wrestling and there is no way to prevent them entirely. No matter who you are or how much experience and training a wrestler might have, there is always the chance that you could get hurt. It seems that was the case this week, as one of the most talented in-ring stars of his generation has suffered an injury. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They Split: Becky Lynch’s Ex Explains The Breakdown Of Her Relationship With Charlotte According to PWInsider.com, AJ Styles suffered an injury during a six man tag at a WWE live event in Hershey, Pennsylvania. During a match between the OC and the Judgment Day, Styles is believed to have injured his ankle and had to be helped to the back. Styles will get the ankle checked out as soon as possible and there is no word on the severity of his injury. There is nothing to suggest that this is an angle of any kind and there is no word on if he will miss any ring time. That doesn’t look good. Check out Styles be..

The other version. One of the biggest wrestling stories of the year has been the backstage brawl after AEW All Out. The brawl resulted in several major names being suspended and a reshuffling of the top AEW storylines. You hear about backstage issues like this every so often, and now we are hearing about something else that happened between a pair of AEW wrestlers. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Only Him: MJF Wins Award From ESPN And He Is Not Happy About It In the debut episode of the FTR With Dax podcast, Dax Harwood revealed that he and Bobby Fish got in a backstage altercation during Dynamite. Harwood said that he felt Fish was taking advantage of him during a match. The match also involved Harwood punching Kyle O’Reilly, who Harwood felt was getting involved in the altercation with Fish.

Harwood did not give a date of the match, but the only time the two were involved in an AE..

Only Him: MJF Wins Award From ESPN And He Is Not Happy About It

December 30, 2022 • Admin

That’s not a normal complaint. You can often recognize a star in the wrestling world when you see one and more often than not, it is someone who stands out. A wrestler who acts differently is going to get noticed a lot more easily and that can lead to a lot of success. That is the case with one of AEW’s top stars and now he is being recognized for his abilities. However, he isn’t exactly happy with the recognition. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Delay Continues: AEW Wrestler Receives Bad Medical News ESPN announced its 2022 Wrestling Awards this week, with AEW’s Maxwell Jacob Friedman being named Promo Artist Of The Year. Friedman replied on Twitter, asking if he was getting a “f****** plaque for this bulls***.” ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski instead offered a DVD of “Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch” with a picture hanger on the back. As a result, Friedman said “go to h*** Greg.” Read our best of 2022 in the squared circle. The only place that gives me a chance to opine on @LoganPaul and @T..

They Split: Becky Lynch’s Ex Explains The Breakdown Of Her Relationship With Charlotte

December 29, 2022 • Admin

Then it fell apart. Women’s wrestling in WWE has come a very long way in recent years, with the division reaching heights that are almost impossible to fathom. The rise has been led by a group of women who have become some of the top stars in WWE. However, not all of them get along as well as others and now we know a bit more about what caused a specific split. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: Top WWE Stable Could Move In Upcoming Draft Jeff Dye, Becky Lynch’s ex-boyfriend and the co-host on Wrestling With Freddie, discussed the breakdown of her relationship with Charlotte on a recent edition of the show. According to Dye, the issues began to occur when the two women were feuding in 2018. The two would say things about each other in promos but then start to take the statements seriously. In addition, Dye said that Charlotte was having a difficult time accepting that Lynch was becoming the face of the women’s division. Lynch would go on to defeat Charlotte and Ronda Rousey in ..

WRESTLING RUMORS: Top WWE Stable Could Move In Upcoming Draft

December 29, 2022 • Admin

New home? WWE has so many different kinds of wrestlers around its roster that the stars can be spread across different unique shows. Those shows would be Monday Night Raw, SmackDown and NXT and the shows do not interact very often. While wrestlers will occasionally cross over, they rarely jump from one to the other full time. This time though, WWE is at least thinking about a move. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: One More? Drew McIntyre Addresses Future World Title Plans According to Xero News on Twitter, there has been some “small” talk of sending Judgment Day to SmackDown in the upcoming WWE Draft. The brands are expected to be “heavily switched” though there have been talks of SmackDown staying “stable heavy”. There is no word on when the next Draft will take place, as WWE has yet to mention anything about a new edition. The most recent Draft was held in October 2021. There has been small talk of sending Judgment Day to SmackDown in the draft when it happens, the brands will be heavily sw..

He has someone in mind. Now that we are over two years into Roman Reigns’ Universal Title reign, it is becoming more and more difficult to find a realistic challenger for his championship. Reigns has run through so many people that he is going to have to face people again. Now we might be seeing another top WWE star getting ready to come after the title one more time. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Ouch: New Detail On Tommaso Ciampa’s Hip Injury And Surgery Two time WWE Champion Drew McIntyre appeared on the Namaste Drew show during a recent trip to India. In the interview, McIntyre talked about Reigns, bringing up Reigns time as a hero, saying “you used to be cool”.

December 29, 2022 • Admin

That’s never good to see. With so many wrestlers on the AEW roster, it can be difficult to keep track of what everyone is doing. There have been several names who have not been around for quite a while, which can raise the question of whether they will ever be back. One such star who has been gone for a very long time may not be around anytime soon due to an injury. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Could Be Awhile: Missing AEW Star Addresses Absence From Company AEW star Paige Van Zant has released a video on Instagram where she says her doctors believe she has broken three bones in her foot rather than the previously thought one. Van Zant is currently signed to AEW but has only wrestled once, winning in a six person match at Double Or Nothing in May and not appearing since. There is no word on when or if she will return to AEW TV. That’s not good.

Ouch: New Detail On Tommaso Ciampa’s Hip Injury And Surgery

December 29, 2022 • Admin

That’s a long time. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to be injured and you never want to see someone put on the shelf for any length of time. Some injuries can take place all at once while others are the kind of that build up over time. Both have to be taken care of though and now we know a bit more about a WWE star who had to go under the knife earlier this year. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: International Star Announces He Is WWE Bound Back in October, Tommaso Ciampa revealed that he had undergone surgery to repair his hip, which has since been mentioned on WWE TV. According to Fightful Select, the hip had been bothering Ciampa for the better part of a year before he underwent the surgery. There is still no word on when Ciampa will be returning to the ring. Ciampa last wrestled at a WWE live event on September 17. Ciampa is a heck of a star when he is healthy.

He’s new around here. There are all kinds of stars on the WWE roster but the company has to constantly add in new names on a regular basis. The company can find talent from a variety of places and one of the most common is from other promotions. This could be from anywhere in the country, but sometimes WWE goes international, which is what they have done with another star. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: No Chance: Here Is What Vince McMahon Was “Vehemently Against” In WWE Contracts This Wednesday, Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide ran their Noche de Campeones event in Acapulco, Mexico. During the show, Dragon Lee and Dralistico defeated FTR to become the new AAA World Tag Team Champions. Following the match, Lee announced that he had signed with WWE, with no word of what will happen to the titles. WWE later sent out a tweet announcing that Lee would be starting with NXT in January.

Dynamite Date: December 28, 2022 Location: 1st Bank Center, Broomfield, Colorado Commentators: Excalibur, Tony Schiavone, Taz It’s another stacked show this week with another Death Triangle vs. Elite match, plus the TNT Title is on the line as Samoa Joe defends against Wardlow. Other than that, we are going to hear from MJF, but Bryan Danielson might have something to say about him. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Bryan Danielson vs. Ethan Page Stokely Hathaway is here with Page…and hang on as here is MJF in a sky box to watch. The distraction lets Page jump Danielson, with MJF having his own mic to mock him for a bonus. Page hits a slam but Danielson is right back with a running clothesline. The chops rock Page and the kicks in the corner make it even worse. Page knocks him back down but Danielson manages to knock him off the top. The top rope dropkick drops Page but Danielson has to knock Hathaway’s hat off. The distraction doesn’t work for Page, who gets dropkicked to the flo..

He wasn’t a fan. This year has seen all kinds of changes throughout WWE but the biggest change of them all has been the retirement of Vince McMahon. After decades of running the company, McMahon announced his retirement back in July, throwing everything out of whack. There have been several changes since McMahon left, and now we know one more thing that seems to have changed as a result of his departure. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: One More Run? 37 Year Old Former WWE Star Likes Idea Of Facing Roman Reigns At WrestleMania According to Fightful Select, McMahon was against the idea of “no cut” clauses in WWE contracts. These clauses, which guaranteed that a wrestler would not be released from their contract early, were something McMahon was “vehemently against”. New co-CEO Nick Khan is said to be open to the idea, though there is no word on if WWE is including them more frequently. It was also said that the lack of clauses did not cost WWE any free agents, but some did inquire about the sit..

Maybe it’s him. Roman Reigns has dominated WWE over the last two years, holding the Universal Championship since August 2020. During his reign, Reigns has dominated the WWE roster and there have been very few people who have bee able to give him a run for his money. That leaves some former WWE names interested in trying their luck, and now another is interested in giving it a shot.

What could have been. Celebrities have been a part of WrestleMania throughout the event’s history. You will almost always see some sort of celebrity involvement at the show and it can be fascinating to see someone come into the wrestling world. It can make for some interesting moments, and now we have an idea of what one celebrity could have done to make his WrestleMania appearance a special one. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Slow And Steady: Update On WWE’s Plans For Drew McIntyre’s WWE Return During a recent edition of his Turnbuckles podcast, former WWE and Tonight Show writer Jon Rineman discussed Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon possibly hosting WrestleMania 34 in 2018.

He’s worth the wait. There are all kinds of stars on the modern WWE roster but there is only so much time to spend on them.

WATCH: Seth Rollins Opens Up On The Future Of Becky Lynch’s Acting Career

December 28, 2022 • Admin

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..

December 28, 2022 • Admin

They have a plan. Wrestling has a long history of having athletes from other sports coming in to try their hand in the squared circle. It offers an easy concept for fans to grasp and might bring some other fans from the other sport over with them. Now it seems that WWE has their eye on bringing back a champion from another sport who has worked with them in the past. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: It Was Messy: Four Top Stars Miss WWE Live Event In “Complete Nightmare” According to the US-Sun, WWE wants World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Tyson Fury to work with them in the new year but his visa issues are causing issues.

It can happen to anyone. There are all kinds of events on WWE’s calendar every year, as the company runs its shows all over the country. Some of them are not held in front of television cameras and are just there for the live fans in attendance. That can make for some special moments, but a recent show was memorable for some rather negative reasons.

However, according to PWInsider.com, several stars missed the Columbus event due to travel issues. Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, Bobby Lashley and Alexa Bliss all missed the show.

December 28, 2022 • Admin

It might be a bit. With so many talented wrestlers on the AEW roster, it can be difficult for everyone to find television time. At some point, a wrestler is going to be left off of television for one reason or another, some of which can be rather negative. This time a star is missing, but the only thing we know about it is that he does not seem overly bothered by his own absence.
