A freak accident. You never know when you are going to see an injury in wrestling and that is never a good thing. No matter how well trained these wrestlers may be, there is always the chance of a freak accident, which can often be the most deadly. Sometimes a simple, run of the mill move can put someone on the shelf for a long time, which seems to be the case again.
Rebel was injured during a tag team match on this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite. During the match between Rebel and Britt Baker against Nyla Rose and Vickie Guerrero, Rebel attempted to break up a pinfall attempt and hurt her leg in the process. She was not seen again for the rest of the match. According to Fightful Select, Rebel suffered a dislocated kneecap, with no other details available. There is no word on Rebel’s diagnoses or how much ring time she could miss.
It was a nasty moment. Check out Rebel being carried from the ring and her in better health:

Across enemy lines. Wrestling has changed a lot over the years, but there are some things that are absolute standards. One of the biggest is wrestling companies not exactly getting along with each other, which makes sense as it is all about business. The companies each want to make the most money possible, but that does not mean everyone is at each others’ throats. Now we have a good example of some good will.
During a recent episode of her Oral Sessions podcast, Renee Paquette talked about how WWE COO Triple H would check on her husband Jon Moxley when he was out of action with a staph infection. This came after Moxley had left WWE and moved over to AEW, though Triple H continued to ask about Moxley, saying WWE would help him in any way they could. Paquette said that it was nice to know that the olive branch was still there and that “nothing bad went down.”
Moxley wrestled for WWE from 2011 – 2019 under the name Dean Ambrose. During his time with the company, Moxley won several titl..

I guess he is a fan. Wrestling fans can be rather critical of the product at times and WWE is certainly no exception. The company ‘s fans regularly express their issues with what is going on in WWE and can get rather upset by what they are presented with on a regular basis. These complaints are seen by people who work in WWE and now one of them is speaking back.
Monday Night Raw star MVP sent out a tweet earlier this week, criticizing fans for making assumptions based on their fantasy booking and criticizing wrestling shows based on their fantasy booking. It is not clear which incidents or tweets caused him to make these statements. MVP later responded to a fan saying that WWE presented “same garbage every week”, with MVP saying that the fan said the same garbage every week.
2 things today's wrestling fans LOVE:
Assumptions about what or who is coming next based on their fantasy booking.
Criticizing whatever wrestling show they're watching based on their fantasy booking.

I guess that’s their taste. With so many things going on in WWE at any given time, it can be difficult to keep track of everything. Sometimes you have some angles which stand out more than others, but everyone is going to be impressed by something else. That is the case with run of the mill fans, but also apparently the case with a huge chain of fast food restaurants.
This week on Monday Night Raw, Damian Priest and Riddle spoke backstage, with the two talking about going to Burger King to have the new CH*KING sandwich. Later in the week, Riddle sent out a tweet showing the two at the restaurant, with Riddle praising the sandwich and telling Randy Orton he needed to try it. The Burger King Twitter account responded, saying that this is the best storyline in wrestling at the moment. Riddle and Orton have been teaming together since April, though Orton was missing from this week’s Monday Night Raw.
Thanks @ArcherOfInfamy for the stallion lunch and @RandyOrton you gotta try the CH’KING ..

Top of the list. Tag team wrestling is one of the more beloved concepts in wrestling as it gives you double the wrestlers than you would see in most matches. There have been all kinds of tag teams over the history of WWE and some of them have stood out above the others. You can probably name quite a list of your own, and that is exactly what WWE has done as well.
Throughout June, WWE has been counting down the top 50 tag teams in history, with the top five being revealed this week. The top five were revealed as:
5. Dudley Boyz
4. Edge & Christian
3. Hart Foundation
2. Hardy Boyz
1. New Day
The final group was announced during the fifth episode of WWE’s Top 50 Tag Teams special airing on Peacock over the course of the month. The list has only included teams who wrestled exclusively or primarily in WWE, with teams ranging from the 1960s until modern times.
There are some great options out there. Check out the top three:

It’s good to have a reputation. There are some wrestlers who are not the most well received by the fans. For one reason or another, people just do not like a wrestler every now and then, though that might be by design. Some wrestlers are naturally great at being villains, but that might not be the case backstage. One such name might come as a surprise to you, as he is a rather popular name behind the curtain.
According to Andrew Zarian of the We’re Live Pal podcast, a former WWE writer has said that Baron Corbin is one of the most beloved people backstage in WWE. Corbin is said to be easy to work with and never combative about anything. He was compared to the Miz, who has been part of WWE for many years and is willing to do anything that WWE asks of him, no matter what.
Corbin signed with WWE in August 2012 and wrestled in NXT until April 2016 when he was called up to Monday Night Raw. Since then, Corbin has wrestled on both main roster shows, where he has won the United States Title..

Welcome back? WWE is in a big transitional period at the moment, as the company is getting ready to head back onto the road. After over a year of being stuck in Florida, WWE is getting ready to get back to normal touring starting later this month. That is a big jump back into normal and now WWE is going to be doing some special training to get ready. This includes a certain name.
According to Fightful Select, Sasha Banks is present at the Performance Center and will be training for a return to touring as well. Banks has not been seen on WWE television since the SmackDown after WrestleMania 37, where she would not speak about losing her SmackDown Women’s Title to Bianca Belair. There is no word on when Banks will be back on WWE television.
It would be nice to have Banks back. Check out what WWE could be getting again soon:

That would be one of them. There are all kinds of wrestlers in NXT these days and some of them have not gotten a ton of television time. You might hear of them every now and then but it can be rare for them to actually make an appearance. NXT has a way around that with the Breakout Tournament, though no names have been announced. Someone might have jumped the gun though.
According to Wrestlinginc.com, NXT’s Parker Boudreaux sent out a tweet saying “Breakout” following the announcement of the tournament, only to have delete the tweet soon after. While not confirmed, this could mean that Boudreaux will be one of the entrance in the tournament. Boudreaux has yet to debut on NXT television. The Breakout Tournament is scheduled to begin on July 13, though no brackets or wrestlers have been announcedway up to the main roster, it makes a lot of sense to restock the shelves. I’m curious to see how this is going to go and that could be in.
The tournament has a lot of potential. Check out some..

WWE is starting to come out of the Coronavirus pandemic and that makes for some interesting situations. Above all else, fans are coming back to the events in less than a month, but they are going to need something to watch. I don’t think I’m breaking any new ground when I say that most of what WWE is doing at the moment wouldn’t work, but what else is there? That is where the cavalry comes into play, and they’re wearing some fetching black and gold.
One of the bigger stories to fly under the radar as of late is a group of NXT wrestlers likely being called up to the main roster. This can make for some of the most interesting moments of the year and now it seems that it is time for the new generation to rise up. I have no idea how that is going to go, but this week we are going to look at some of the names who might be on their way to the main roster.
Note that most of these are names that could work and most of them are not rumored at this time. Also, I’m intentionally leaving off som..

Dynamite
Date: June 30, 2021
Location: Daily’s Place, Jacksonville, Florida
Commentators: Excalibur, Chris Jericho, Tony Schiavone, Jim Ross
We’re finally back to the normal schedule and that is a very good thing. It’s the final night in Daily’s Place as the show is heading back on the road starting next week. The big match this week is Sammy Guevara vs. MJF, which should make for a heck of a grudge match. Throw in the Young Bucks vs. Penta El Zero Miedo/Eddie Kingston and we should be good to go. Let’s get to it.
Chris Jericho is here for commentary.
Young Bucks vs. Penta El Zero Miedo/Eddie Kingston Non-title but if Penta/Kingston win, they get a title shot later. The Bucks debut their latest horrible look with some rather thin facial hair. Matt gets taken down for an early rollup to start and Kingston holds the legs for Penta’s top rope double stomp. It’s off to Nick to take Penta down though and the double fist drop sets up some pelvic thrusting. Penta gets sent outside where he..

That’s a special day. Wrestlers have some of the most complicated personal lives you will find. When a promotion is on tour full time, a wrestler is not going to be home that often and it can be rather difficult to figure out how to balance work and anything behind the scenes. It can help to have wrestlers together, and that is what we saw this week in a pretty cool way.
WWE has confirmed that Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch were married on Tuesday. This comes after Rollins sent out an Instagram Story showing Lynch and saying that it “seems like a fine day to (finally) get married.” The couple had been engaged since August 2019 but the wedding was postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. There are no further details on the wedding so far.
Lynch has been absent from WWE television since May 2020 due to maternity leave. She gave birth to the couple’s daughter, Roux, in December and has been training for a return to the ring. There is no word on when she will be returning to WWE televisi..

It could have been worse. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to get hurt and some of them can come out of nowhere. You never know when you are going to see someone get injured and unfortunately it can happen right in front of your eyes. What matters most is the wrestler’s health, and that was the question again due to an injury that took place this week.
Mercedes Martinez was injured during this week’s edition of NXT. Martinez was in a mixed tag team match with Jake Atlas against Xia Li and Boa of Tian Sha when Li kicked her in the head. The kick caused Martinez to fall to the mat where Li covered her, though Martinez was unable to keep her shoulders on the mat. The referee stopped the match seconds later and awarded it to Tian Sha, despite Martinez pulling herself by the ropes. According to Sean Ross Sapp, Martinez was sent to the hospital for further evaluation. There is no word on her condition or when she could be able to return to the ring.
Mercedes Martinez was checked ..
