RUMOR KILLERS On Two WWE Money In The Bank Stories

Not so fast. WWE runs major events almost every month, some of which are among the biggest wrestling events of the year. Several of these are annual events that are centered around the same concept matches every year. Under the company’s new regime, WWE has reportedly been moving away from such shows, but it seems that some possible changes will not be taking place.

According to Fightful Select, two rumored Money In The Bank related stories are not taking place. First up, there have been rumors of both Money In The Bank ladder matches being moved to WrestleMania, but several members of the WWE creative team have said that while possible, no such changes have been made. Second, reports of LA Knight being penciled in to win the men’s Money In The Bank latter match in 2023 have not been discussed. While Knight winning is not impossible, it is not being talked about right now.

WATCH: Dominik Mysterio And Rhea Ripley Invade Rey Mysterio’s Home For Thanksgiving

It’s a personal thing. There are all kinds of feuds in wrestling and some of them are more serious than others. One of the easiest ways to present a feud is between members of the same family having an issue. Fans can relate to the concept and get behind it without too much trouble. WWE has been using the concept in recent months and have upped the ante this week.

Just Keep Waiting: Missing AEW Star Reportedly Medically Cleared For “Quite Some Time”

It’s a matter of time. There are all kinds of reasons for a wrestler to be out of action and injuries are at the top of the list. When a wrestler is hurt, the first question becomes long long it might be before they are back in the ring. Health is not the only factor that can hold them back though, as some other people have to sign on. Now we know one more person who is ready but still waiting to make their return.

AEW’s Scorpio Sky has not wrestled a match since the July 6 Dynamite, when he lost the TNT Title to Wardlow and took time off due to a leg injury.

It’s For Later: Wrestling Legend Reveals He Needs Multiple Surgeries

They would help. While wrestling has pre-determined finishes to its matches, the work and effort that the wrestlers put in is very real. Wrestles work hard and put in all kinds of effort whenever they get in the ring. This can result in quite a few injuries and damage to their bodies, which can take a long time to heal up. Now a legend is saying he is going to need some work done to make things right.

Rhodes, 53, said that he saw Ric Flair’s last match and does not want to wind up looking the same. He also did not want to be one of the veterans he remembers seeing on a walker or in a wheelchair due to their knee problems. There is no word on if he is able to wrestle without the surgeries, though his most ..

Power Pair: Bianca Belair Pitches Rihanna Coming To WWE

That would be a sight. Celebrities have quite the history in wrestling as a lot of fans could be interested in seeing what happens when a mainstream name tries their hand at wrestling. That could lead to a variety of different results, some of which are a lot more successful than others. Now a top WWE name is interested in bringing another celebrity into the ring to see how things go.

REVIEW: Survivor Series 2005: The First Showdown

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over ten years now and have reviewed over 5,000 shows. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I’ll be posting a new review here on Wrestlingrumors.net, starting today. It could be anything from modern WWE to old school to indies to anything in between. Note that I rate using letters instead of stars and I don’t rate matches under three minutes as really, how good or bad can something that short be?
Survivor Series 2005
Date: November 27, 2005
Location: Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, Michigan
Attendance: 15,000
Commentators: Joey Styles, Jerry Lawler, Jonathan Coachman, Michael Cole, Tazz
This show is all about brand vs. brand, which really isn’t an interesting story because they would interact pretty regularly but of course WWE doesn’t get this. Therefore, the main event is a five on five Team Raw vs. Team Smackdown Survivor Series elimination tag for pure bragging rights. At least they didn’t have a..

His Other Job: Bobby Lashley Filming Reality Show In Surprise Field

It’s something different. Wrestlers have a bad tendency to not have a way out of the ring once their careers are winding down. In too many cases, wrestlers do not have a way out of the industry and nothing to fall back on. It can be quite the problem, but there are instances where a wrestler has something else planned for when their in-ring career is over. Now a top WWE star is dabbling in a completely different industry.

WWE star Bobby Lashley recently spoke with Sidewalks Entertainment and revealed that he is filming a reality show involving him flipping houses. Lashley said it is something that he loves to do, in addition to working in real estate. The show deals with Lashley working with his team as they flip houses and explains a bit of how to get into real estate. There is no word on where or when the show will air.
Lashley can do a lot of things in the ring as well. Check out..

Oh No: AEW Star Seemingly Injured During Rampage Taping (Contains Mild SPOILER)

You never want to see that. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to get injured in a match and none of them are good. One of the worst parts is wondering how long someone is going to be out before you know just how serious everything is. The waiting can be excruciating and now we are going to be waiting a bit longer to find out about a possible injury from this week.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Straightened Out: AEW Shakes Up Title Situation, Changes Former Championship Reign
This week on AEW Dynamite, Top Flight challenged FTR for a Ring Of Honor Tag Team Title match this week on Rampage, with FTR accepting. The match was taped this week after Dynamite and as shown via an image on Twitter, Dante Martin seems to have been injured at some point. There are no further details, including what happened, when it happened, or the severity of the injury. This comes after Dante’s brother Darius returned from several months off due to an injury of his own.
Oh no. Dante maybe hurt? ? #aew #AE..

Straightened Out: AEW Shakes Up Title Situation, Changes Former Championship Reign

That’s a shakeup. There are all kinds of titles in wrestling and some of them are quite prestigious for wrestlers to win. At the same time, some titles have something a little bit different to make them stand out. That could be a little bit of anything and some designations are only supposed to last for a little while. Now one special kind of title has been dropped.

AEW Dynamite Results – November 23, 2022

Dynamite
Date: November 23, 2022
Location: Wintrust Arena, Chicago, Illinois
Commentators: Taz, Tony Schiavone, Excalibur
It’s the first show after Full Gear and thanks to William Regal, MJF is the new World Champion. That is enough of a story to carry things for the time being, but we have more important things to get to right now: like building up a Ring Of Honor pay per view in the next few weeks. Let’s get to it.
Opening sequence.
William Regal is in the ring to open things up and he lets us know the MJF isn’t here because he’s on the set of a major motion picture. MJF will explain things then, including the contents of an emails Regal sent him a few weeks ago. Cue Jon Moxley to rather slowly interrupt, meaning Regal can sneer a lot. Bryan Danielson runs in to keep them apart though and says that they have all done bad things.
Moxley slaps him in the face so Danielson begs him not to do this. Danielson talks about his dad having the same struggles that Moxley has had, saying th..

One More Run: Popular Stable Makes Surprise Return On AEW Dynamite

Welcome home. With so many wrestlers moving around in one way or another, it can mean a lot when a wrestler makes a surprise appearance on AEW television. Some of these appearances are telegraphed while others come as a surprise. Occasionally you get something in the middle, and that was the case this week as a group was back after a hiatus of a few months.

The House of Black returned this week on AEW Dynamite, making their first live appearance since All Out in September. The team appeared after Orange Cassidy defeated Jake Hager to retain the All-Atlantic Title. Following the match, Julia Hart appeared on stage with the team appearing behind the Best Friends and beating them up. The Factory, who had come to ringside as well, were beaten up too. This comes after a few weeks of House of Black return promos, promising their rebirth.

WATCH: Brock Lesnar Praises Logan And Jake Paul

That’s a special endorsement. Over the years, several celebrities and outside athletes have tried their hands at wrestling, with the success rate being a bit all over the place. There will be some instances of these outsiders being near disasters but some of them have done very well, blowing away expectations. Now some outsiders have received praise from one of the bigger stars in wrestling today.

Earlier this month at WWE Crown Jewel, Logan Paul unsuccessfully challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title.

Jake has since uploaded a video to his YouTube page, showing Brock Lesnar praising the pair and saying that he has followed their careers. Lesnar also wrestled on the show, defeating Bobby Lashley in the show’s opening match.
