They Have A Plan: Update On 2023 WWE Hall Of Fame Inductions

•

They might want to hurry up. We are just over four weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and that means things need to come together fast. While the main focus will be on the two night showcase in SoFi Stadium, there are several other events taking place throughout the week. This includes the Hall of Fame induction ceremony the Friday night before WrestleMania, but this year seems a bit different. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s Out There: Former World Champion Officially A Free Agent, Possibly Heading To WWE As of Friday, March 3, WWE has not made any official announcement about this year’s Hall of Fame class. According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE is still planning on an induction ceremony, which is included in the ticket to the weekend’s SmackDown.

He’s Out There: Former World Champion Officially A Free Agent, Possibly Heading To WWE

He’s available. There are some incredibly talented wrestlers throughout the world who do not get to appear on the big stage that often. While they might appear on some very big shows, they do not make regular appearances in either WWE or AEW. Those are the stages where wrestlers will have the biggest audiences, and now a top international star is able to go anywhere he chooses.

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 ..

Ring Of Honor TV Results – March 2, 2023

Ring Of Honor Date: March 2, 2023 Location: Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Ian Riccaboni, Caprice Coleman So after a year or so of Ring Of Honor being a major part of AEW, it is time for the company to get its own show. That might mean quite a few things, but there is a good chance that we are going to be seeing a bunch of AEW stars around here. This show could go in a few different ways though so let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Mark Briscoe vs. Slim J The rest of the Trustbusters are here with Slim J, who kicks away the Code Of Honor before the bell. Redneck Kung Fu sends J outside but a Mark Sterling distraction lets J get in a low blow. Briscoe is fine enough to kick J to the floor, setting up the dropkick through the ropes. It’s too early for the chair assisted dive so Briscoe strikes away back inside. Another Sterling distraction lets J hit a knee to the face, setting up a reverse DDT for two. Briscoe is busted open as J chokes away in the corner, followe..

Done soon? WWE has a strange history with tag team wrestling, as several teams have been put together over the years, seemingly with the intended result of splitting them up.

Needs A New Spot: AEW Star Dropped From Current Storyline

She’ll need something new. With so many wrestlers on the AEW roster and so little television time, it can be difficult to find something for everyone to do. One of the most common solutions is to put wrestlers together into groups so they can be on screen at the same time.

She has the pull. There are certain stars in WWE who have more status and power than others. It can make for some very interesting moments when they use that status to get something they want, which can range anywhere from something simple to something that changes a fairly important aspect of the company.

That explains it. The wrestling world has changed quite a bit in recent years as different companies have started to work together.

Not Now: Update On Bray Wyatt’s Planned Horror Film

•

Slight snag. Wrestlers have tried their hands at acting for years now and the connection makes sense. Wrestling is designed around the idea of making fans believe that what they are seeing is real, which has led to wrestlers appearing in the occasional acting project. A prominent WWE wrestler is now trying his hand at it as well, but now things might be slowed down for the time being.

It worked. There are all kinds of different ways to present a wrestler and some of them are more serious than others.

For Real: NXT Star Written Off Television Due To Legitimate Injury

One way to do it. Injuries are one of the worst things that can happen to any wrestler as they can put someone out of action for any length of time. There are all kinds of injuries, but there are also various ways to write someone off television with those injuries. We saw a bit of a unique one earlier this week as an NXT star was taken off television, but things might not have been what they seemed. Wendy Choo was written off NXT TV earlier this week, having been attacked in the parking lot. There is no word on who attacked Choo or how long she is expected to be out of action. According to F4WOnline.com, Choo is out of action with a legitimate injury, though she is not expected to be out of action for very long. Choo last wrestled on the February 16 edition of Main Event. This is the second time that NXT has used a parking lot attack this year to explain a legitimate injury, after Nikkita Lyons was attacked as well. Choo is a unique star when she is around.

That would have been different. There are several titles under the WWE banner these days and some of them are among the most important championships in wrestling history. Some of those former champions are quite the legends of the company and it means a lot for them to show up every so often.

In a recent post on TikTok, Miz talked about a plan he had to drop the Intercontinental Title to the Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania. While he held the title, Miz wanted to defeat all former Intercontinental Champions at WrestleMania in a gauntlet lumberjack match. The Warrior would enter as a surprise final entrant and defeat Miz to win the title in short order. Miz said he tried to make this happen but could never pull it off.

That would be a change. The biggest wrestling story of the year has been the return of Vince McMahon to WWE.
