VIDEO: Dominik Mysterio And Rhea Ripley Take Over Rey Mysterio’s Valentine’s Day Dinner

•

This is becoming a tradition. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestling storyline, many of which have been around for decades to continued success. One of the best is to have family members get into trouble with each other, likely setting up a huge match down the line. WWE has been doing that again, and now it seems that they are using various special days to make it work. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: What WWE Has Planned For New Batch Of WrestleMania Parody Movie Trailers Last year on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley have invaded Rey Mysterio’s home, resulting in violence both times.

Casting call? We are about a month and a half away from WrestleMania 39, which is being themed as WrestleMania Goes Hollywood.

Ouch: Former AEW Champion Out Of Action Due To An Injury

It can happen to anyone. There are all kinds of injuries a wrestler can undergo and some of them are not as obvious as others. While you can see the big ones right in front of your face, there are others that can put a wrestler on the shelf, even if it does not seem to be that bad. It seems to be the case again, as a former AEW champion is on the shelf with an injury. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He Would Know: Jeff Jarrett Reveals AEW’s Thought Process Behind Running Live Events During a recent video gaming live stream, former AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida revealed that she is suffering from a finger injury.

They’re running out of time. With about a month and a half to go before WrestleMania 39, WWE has already started setting up the card for the show. There are a few matches already set but there are still some things that need to be established.

That wasn’t nice. Wrestlers have quite the difficult job, as they are required to make fans either love or hate them while realizing that what they are seeing might not be on the up and up. That is a tricky situation, but there are ways that villains can do various evil things which will drive fans crazy. That was the case this week at Monday Night Raw, but things were a little backwards. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They Are? Major Change On The Usos’ Elimination Chamber Status During his most recent run with WWE, Brock Lesnar has been a babyface for an extended period of time in several years.

They Are? Major Change On The Usos’ Elimination Chamber Status

That’s a different direction. The Bloodline saga has dominated the WWE landscape for over two years now and the story continues to unfold week after week. One of the most important players has been Jey Uso, who has supported his cousin Roman Reigns during most of the story. This has become a problem in recent weeks though, and now we know where a new twist might go.

The report did include the caveat that this could be a “swerve” or a “storyline”. The Usos do not currently have a match scheduled for the show. They’re an important piece. Check out t..

They do have a plan. AEW has been around for a few years now and the company has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time.

It’s a different group. Stables have been a part of WWE’s history for decades now and there is nothing to suggest that they will be going away anytime soon.

Here is Becky Lynch, with Adam Pearce, for a chat. Becky is happy to be here and says she even dressed spiffy for us. She thanks Lita for her help last week but realizes that she needs a path to Wrestlemania. That sounds like something to do with a title to her, so she wants in the Elimination Chamber.

Dismissed for now. While WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world, they are certainly not the only one. The company has dominated the industry for so long but there are still several other promotions to be found. One such promotion was not happy with WWE’s actions and did something about it, but that has not turned out very well for them.

She’s not there yet. Injuries are one of the worst things that can happen to wrestlers as you never know when someone is going to be back in the ring.
