That’s a rough way to go. Wrestlers take a lot of risks every time they get in the ring, as wrestling is certainly not the safest sport in the world. The wrestlers who get in the ring are putting their bodies on the line every time and they can take a lot of damage. On top of that though, there are all kinds of other health issues wrestlers have to deal with, including one nasty illness.

What could have been. This year has included all kinds of huge changes, twists and turns in the wrestling industry, some of which have been among the biggest in years. AEW is no exception, with the backstage fight after All Out being at the top of their list. The situation was bound to have fallout, and now we know something else about the fallout for a group of wrestlers.

You need a big one. We are almost to the end of the year and that means it is almost time to start the Road To WrestleMania 39. The show is in less than five months and a show of that magnitude needs a huge card to back it up. WWE has to start planning things out far in advance and now they might have plans for one of the bigger title matches that could be taking place.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: One More Time: 41 Year Old Former WWE Star Set For First Match In Six Years
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, there is a heavy push behind Rhea Ripley at the moment, which could lead to a match between her and Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39. This is NOT confirmed at the moment though and is only speculation so far. The two had been set for a match at this year’s Money In The Bank but Ripley was forced to pull out due to an injury. WrestleMania 39 takes place on April 1 and 2, 2023.
Yeah that would be a special match. Check out the two in action and the two together:

This week is about the past and the future, as a group of Hall of Famers, led by Shawn Michaels, will announce the participants in the Iron Survivor Challenge. That would be quite the segment and it will determine most of the Deadline card. The main event is a rather big six woman tag so let’s get to it.
Indi Hartwell vs. Roxanne Perez Hartwell powers her around to start but Perez dropkicks her down. The chinlock goes on to slow Hartwell up but she fights up and sends Perez crashing out to the floor. Back in and a boot to the face drops Perez and a hard clothesline gives Hartwell two. A sideslam sets up the chinlock but Perez is up rather quickly.
Perez forearms away and sends Hartwell face first into the middle buckle as the comeback is on. A running basement dropkick sends Hartwell into the corner, where she comes out with a belly to back suplex to cut Perez off. Pe..

Welcome back. There have been a lot of wrestlers throughout WWE’s history and some of them have made quite the impact. The interesting thing is that such an impact can be made with or without having a ton of accomplishments. Occasionally you will see a wrestler who stands out without some major push. Now another one of those wrestlers is returning to the ring for a good cause.

That would be a big one. There are all kinds of ways to make a match feel more important. This could include adding in a stipulation or a gimmick, but it can also help to have someone special person involved. That could be one of a few different things, but now WWE is ready to have a match for a certain challenger in a location that would make things very interesting in a hurry.

Welcome back. Wrestlers have a weird situation when it comes to retirement, as they can always wrestle one more match. With no season or anything really close to it, a wrestler can step back in the ring over and over without having to worry about the next match. That can lead to some great returns, and now we are going to be seeing another one before the year is out.

That would explain it. There are a lot of wrestlers on the WWE roster and it can mean a lot when one of them is missing in action. It can also be rather noticeable, as if someone you see on a regular basis goes away for a bit, fans will be wondering where they are. That was the case earlier this year, and now we know why one wrestler’s time away made another one miss time as well.

They’re both quite good. Check out the two together and on their own:

He was requested. There are all kinds of people who come together to make a wrestling show work and some of them do not get the attention they deserve. While the people in front of the cameras are the ones who matter the most, there are also people who are going to help put everything together behind the scenes. Now one of the more controversial ones has a bit better of an explanation.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Angry Chief: Roman Reigns Reportedly “Very Heated” Over Unplanned WarGames Spot
Over the weekend, WWE presented Survivor Series, which included a SmackDown Women’s Title match that saw Ronda Rousey successfully defending against Shotzi. The match was co-produced by Jason Jordan and the returning Brian Kendrick, the latter of whom is not a full time WWE producer.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Rousey requested that Kendrick, one of her original trainers, be brought in for the show. While this was considered a tryout, it was more catering to Rousey’s request. The tryout wa..

She has an eye for this. AEW has done quite a few things during its three and a half years of existence and quite a bit of those things have been built around the company’s roster. One of the most important things it that the company needs to bring in new talent to keep the roster fresh, which was what a prominent member of the roster helped them do in an important way.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: One More? Wrestling Legend Claims AEW Wanted Him To Return

Spoils of war? Over the weekend, WWE presented its annual Survivor Series event, which featured the main roster debut of WarGames. There was both a men’s and women’s match on the show, with the Bloodline coming out on top in the show’s main event. Roman Reigns dominated parts of the match, but there was one part that did not go so well for him, which could have been much worse.
According to Fightful Select, Reigns was “very heated” over an unplanned spot between himself and Kevin Owens during the match. Reigns was also described as “visibly upset” after the match was over and reportedly went on an expletive filled rant once backstage. He also believed he might have a ruptured eardrum due to the incident. However, there is nothing to indicate that there will be any lingering issues and there was no physical altercation backstage. The belief is that if there are issues, the two will talk them out.
It was a busy night. Check out some of the WarGames match:

He’s in. With so many wrestlers on its roster, WWE has to keep them separated into different rosters. This includes the two main rosters of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown, as well as the NXT developmental roster. It can mean a lot when a wrestler is called up from developmental to the main roster, which is what we officially saw after a match this week on television.
