Omega had to do it. Titles are some of the most important things in all of professional wrestling. They are a rather simple concept, in that the top stars in the company have big shiny belts that signify they are the best. This has been the case for decades in wrestling and is still the case today. Now we are seeing a major title change hands, albeit not as originally planned.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Kenny Omega will be vacating the AAA Mega Championship at some point in the next few days. Omega is set to undergo shoulder surgery and will not be able to make his scheduled title defense on December 4 at TripleMania Regia II against El Hijo del Vikingo. There is no word on who will be included in the new title match, though it is expected to be a multi person match.
Omega is a star anywhere. Check out some of his better recent moments in the ring:

They deserve the honor. Wrestling is a weird sport in that the accomplishments that wrestlers win do not last forever. Titles can be won and lost, but mainstream sports don’t lose whatever they win. It is rare to see an honor in wrestling that actually lasts, but now we are seeing some wrestlers be honored for their career efforts. They just won’t be your usual group.
Earlier this month, Game Changer Wrestling announced that they will be opening the Indie Wrestling Hall Of Fame on January 22, 2022. Two members of the inaugural class have now been announced. The first announced inductee is Jerry Lynn, a former ECW and Ring of Honor World Champion. Lynn will be inducted by Sean Waltman, his longtime rival on the independent circuit. The second inductee will be Homicide, another former Ring of Honor World Champion, who has wrestled on the independent circuit for more than twenty years. Homicide will be inducted by Chris Dickinson, his partner in Violence Unlimited.

It might be time for a change. There are not many ways to make drastic changes to a wrestler. One of the better options is to switch someone from good to bad or vice versa, as it can open up a variety of new options for them. Some of these can be more successful than the others, but now we might have seen another big star make the jump over to the other side.
This weekend’s WWE Survivor Series event featured a Kickoff Show match between Damian Priest and Shinsuke Nakamura. During the match, Nakamura’s friend Rick Boogs kept playing his guitar, which annoyed Priest. Finally Priest had enough and broke the guitar, which he then used to hit Nakamura for the disqualification. This may have been a heel turn for Priest, who has been more aggressive in recent weeks.
This could go somewhere. Check out the match plus some more angry Priest:

It takes a lot to do that. Vince McMahon is a lot of things and some of those are not as good as others. One of the main criticisms of McMahon is that he can be a bit out of touch at times, but he is still going to get what is going on at least some of the time. Earlier this year, there was a decision made that left a lot of people confused, but McMahon did try to make up for it.
In a new interview with TalkSport, Zelina Vega revealed that McMahon personally called her to apologize for leaving her off of the September 10 SmackDown. Vega’s father passed away nearly twenty years before the show on September 11, 2001 and Vega had been featured in materials promoting the show. However, she did not appear on the show as her appearance was cut due to time issues. McMahon told her that it was not a personal matter but rather making time for other things. Vega has since gone on to win the Queen’s Crown tournament.
Vega is a very talented star. Check out some of her WWE work:

Can you blame her? Wrestlers are ultimately performers in a way, but there are still very real people in the ring. Those people are going to have emotions of their own, some of which can be related to the wrestling business. Sometimes you will see someone let some of that emotion out and it can be rather interesting to watch. That was the case again this weekend.
One of the major feuds coming into this year’s Survivor Series was between Becky Lynch and Charlotte. The two were previously friends but various issues have driven them apart. Lynch defeated Charlotte in the show’s opening match but she was not done for the night. WWE has released an interview with Lynch from after the match, where she talks about how emotional she got getting ready for the match and where they are now. Lynch was in tears during the promo and talked about how close the two were while they despise each other now.
It was an emotional night. Check out the promo, the match, and how we got here:

There’s your explanation. WWE has been releasing wrestlers left and right over the last year and a half and there is nothing to suggest that it is going to stop anytime soon. There have been some very surprising names released, which was the case again earlier this week. Now that a little time has passed, we know a bit more about why one of the wrestlers was let go.
Last week, WWE cut eight more wrestlers, including the entire Hit Row stable of Ashante Adonis, Isaiah Scott and Top Dolla. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dolla had developed a reputation of being difficult backstage as he rubbed several people the wrong way in NXT. This was becoming the case again during his time on the main roster. WWE decided to cut him and Scott and Adonis were seen as being in the crossfire.
Hit Row did not have much time to develop into stars. Check out some of their time in WWE:

What a weird request. There are a fair few wrestling couples but they can be pretty few and far between. It is even rarer to see them both be successful on the same show, but it has become a bit more common as of late. There is a case of it taking place at the moment on Monday Night Raw and it seems that one half of the couple has a unique idea for something the two of them can do on television.
Monday Night Raw’s Montez Ford and Bianca Belair appeared on Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning to promote Survivor Series. Belair mentioned that Ford had an idea of the two of them teaming together and having Belair gorilla press him for a toss onto someone else. According to Belair, this is something that Ford has talked about multiple times over the years. The two have been paired on WWE TV in the past but have not been presented together in recent months.
They have a history. Check out the two of them together and apart:

Welcome back. There are certain wrestlers that you are going to notice no matter what they are doing. These wrestlers are often the larger than life characters who can command attention just based on their presence or physical aspects alone. You don’t get to see many of them, but that might be changing soon as one of the bigger names seems to be on his way back.
Last month, Brock Lesnar was suspended from WWE due to attacking Roman Reigns and Adam Pearce and destroying a television camera in the process. WWE executive Adam Pearce ordered the suspension, but this weekend at Survivor Series, Kayla Braxton revealed that the suspension had ended. There is no word on when Lesnar will be returning to WWE television.
Lesnar knows how to do these returns. Check out some of his better ones:

Survivor Series 2021
Date: November 21, 2021
Location: Barclays Center, New York City, New York
Commentators: Michael Cole, Corey Graves, Jimmy Smith, Byron Saxton, Pat McAfee
I’m running out of ways to say this show isn’t that interesting, but it seems that even some of the wrestlers are thinking the same. This is another Battle For Brand Supremacy and this time around we’ll be seeing more champions fighting each other. Not for any titles mind you, but for the glory of their t-shirt. Let’s get to it.
Kickoff Show: Shinsuke Nakamura (Smackdown) vs. Damian Priest (Raw) Non-title and Rick Boogs is here with Nakamura. Priest grabs a hammerlock to start but Nakamura fights up thanks to the power of a guitar solo. Back up and Nakamura mocks Priest’s arrow before sending him into the corner for Good Vibrations, again complete with the guitar. Priest runs Nakamura over for two and an elbow the face gets the same. We hit the chinlock so Boogs plays him back up, earning a warning from Priest…

Can you future endeavor him? Whether you like him or not, there is no one in the history of wrestling as powerful as Vince McMahon. For about forty years, McMahon has run the largest wrestling promotion in the world and more or less taken over the industry. There are some people who are not exactly thrilled with what he has been doing as of late though, and now a wrestling legend is doing something about it.
Former WWE star Virgil has posted a tweet, saying that he has officially released McMahon from his duties. Therefore, he will be overseeing all all decisions in the company. He also thanks everyone for finally coming to their senses. This is a reference to the recent wave of WWE releases, including multiple wrestlers being released from the company over the course of November.
Breaking news: I have just released Vince McMahon from his duties. Effective immediately I will be once again overseeing all talent and decision making. Glad that the company has come to their senses. pic.t..

That’s rather specific. To say that WWE has been a bit erratic as of late would be quite the understatement. The company has let all kinds of wrestlers go over the last several months and it often feels like no one’s job is safe. That can make for some tricky situations as everyone tries to figure out who might be gone next. Now it seems that WWE has their eye on a specific group of wrestlers.
Earlier this year, WWE held a tryout in Las Vegas, which resulted in 13-16 people being offered contracts with the company. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is prioritizing hiring “People Of Color” to the company. While that might not seem to be the case with their releases, that is their current focus with their recruiting of new talent. It is not clear how many wrestlers from the tryout signed with the company.
WWE certainly loves to bring in new stars. Check out some of their better debuts:

Welcome to your new home. The biggest WWE story of the year has been the company’s enormous amount of releases, as all kinds of wrestlers have been let go. This has included stars from the main roster, with legends and rookies being released. NXT has certainly not been immune either, but now we know where one of those released stars has found a new home.
Jonah, formerly known as Bronson Reed, made his Impact Wrestling debut during this weekend’s Turning Point event. Josh Alexander was speaking during the event and was attacked by Jonah, who hit multiple top rope splashes to leave Alexander bleeding from the mouth. Jonan is a former NXT North American Champion and was released from his WWE deal in August.
You might need a refresher. Check out what Jonah can do in the ring:
