There was an idea in place. Wrestling storylines can take many forms, but at some point there has to be a match to pay the things off. That needs to be set up as delicately as possible, which is not always the easiest thing to do. There are also occasions where a story can be set up, but ultimately falls through for one reason or another. That was almost the case recently.
Over the weekend, Drew McIntyre was written off of WWE television thanks to an attack by Happy Corbin at Day One. The attack was a way to get McIntyre out of storylines as he is dealing with neck issues. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is planning for a Roman Reigns vs. McIntyre match, which is still the idea despite McIntyre’s injury. There is no word on when McIntyre is expected back on television.
McIntyre vs. Reigns does sound awesome. Check out the two of them facing each other and more:

That’s the next step. There area lot of wrestling matches throughout any given show, but oftentimes, a match is not the end of a story. Sometimes the end of one match is designed to set up the next step in a story, which might involve even more people than in the first match. That is the case again, as a feud is getting even more personal than it was at the start.
Earlier this month at WWE Day One, Edge defeated Miz in a grudge match. Miz’s wife Maryse attempted to interfered, but Edge’s wife Beth Phoenix made a surprise return and chased her off, allowing Edge to win. This week on Monday Night Raw, Edge and Phoenix interrupted Miz and Maryse to challenge them to a mixed tag team match. Miz accepted, and the match has been set for the Royal Rumble on January 29.
This should be big. Check out how we got here and the fallout:

Bring on the Beast. Tonight on Raw, the original Fatal 4-way match from Day 1 took place, in order to determine who the new No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship would be. The winner of that match would earn the right to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at the 2022 Royal Rumble.
In the end, Bobby Lashley defeated Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, and Big E to earn the opportunity.
Check out the highlights from Day 1 that led to this match:

From WWE.com:
A true clash of the titans is set for Royal Rumble! Newly crowned WWE Champion Brock Lesnar will go head-to-head with Bobby Lashley.
After Universal Champion Roman Reigns was unable to compete at WWE Day 1 due to COVID protocols, the intimidating Lesnar insisted he be added to the WWE Championship Match at the inaugural Premium Live Event.

It’s the show after Day One and since it’s WWE, Brock Lesnar has now somehow become WWE Champion. Lesnar has been added to the fatal four way after his scheduled match with Roman Reigns was canceled due to Reigns testing positive for the Coronavirus. That means it’s time for a new direction so let’s get to it.
We open with a recap of Brock Lesnar winning the WWE Title on Saturday night.
Opening sequence.
We run down the card.
The lights go out and a rather happy looking Paul Heyman is in the ring. As an advocate, Heyman would like to introduce us to his client: the new WWE Champion, BROCK LESNAR! Here is Lesnar, who throws some steps in the ring so he can stand up and send good wishes to Roman Reigns. Lesnar: “Now, South Carolina, acknowledge me!” He thanks Heyman for all of his efforts to make the title win possible on Satu..

It isn’t something that everyone gets. WWE is still the biggest and most powerful wrestling company in the world today, but there are some things that are not the most popular among some fans. One such thing is the amount of releases that have taken place over the last few years. Now one of the released wrestlers has revealed something rather surprising about her time with the company.
Former NXT star B-Fab took part in a virtual signing with K&S WrestleFest where she spoke about her time in WWE. One thing that B-Fab mentioned was she and the rest of her Hit Row stable had been granted total creative freedom by Triple H for everything they said, even down to their theme song. Triple H would occasionally try to keep their ideas from getting too big, but the promos and statements were all written by Hit Row themselves. B-Fab and the rest of Hit Row were all released from WWE in November, with B-Fab being let go separately from the rest of the team.
Hit Row was pretty awesome in their t..

Don’t mess with the rabbit. WWE has posted a new video to its YouTube channel in which they show the full match between Bad Bunny & Damian Priest vs. The Miz & John Morrison From WrestleMania 37 Night 1.
You can see the match in its entirety below:

From WWE.com:
Priest looked to start the match until The Awesome One taunted Bad Bunny, asking the recording star if he was scared. Not one to back down, Bunny tagged into the match and caught Miz with two right hands, then tackled the former WWE Champion to the canvas. The Miz looked embarrassed after Bad Bunny sent him flying to the outside with an arm drag. Bad Bunny showed impressive skill, whether it was a La Magistral cradle or a flying headscissors that sent JoMo for a ride.
But Miz & Morrison quickly turned the tables on Bunny after Morrison caught him with an elbow in the corner, then Miz cheapshotted him from the apron behind the referee’s back. The Awesome One and The Guru of Greatne..

Run it back? We are about ready to start the Road to WrestleMania 38 and that means the card should be at least mostly set. While it might not be made public just yet, WWE needs t know what they are doing for their biggest event of the year. It seems that they do have a few ideas set, and now we might know one of the more important matches planned for the show.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio, a title match between Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair is likely for WrestleMania 38. The match would be a rematch from Summerslam 2021, when Lynch returned and beat Belair in an impromptu SmackDown Women’s Title match in less than thirty seconds. Lynch has since swapped the SmackDown Women’s Title for the Raw version.
It worked before. Check out some of the Lynch vs. Belair feud:

That’s up next. With about three months to go before WrestleMania 38, it is time for WWE to start getting things ready for the biggest show of the year. That can make for some tricky decisions, as the show needs to be as good as it possibly can. This includes making the right decisions when it comes to title matches, and now we might have an idea of the next turn that will be taken.
Brock Lesnar won the WWE Title at Day One, winning a fatal five way match also involving Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley and Big E. Lesnar and Lashley interacted during the match, with Lashley spearing him through the barricade and putting him in the Hurt Lock. According to F4WOnline.com, the plan is to have Lashley be the first challenger to Lesnar’s title, though there is no word on when the match might take place.
This could be a fight. Check out the two in action together and apart:

It was going to get people talking. AEW has been a complete game changer in the wrestling world and that has been a good thing. The company is led by President Tony Khan, who has been a force in wrestling since he entered the industry. However, like everyone else, Khan is going to have some controversial moments. That was the case last week and now we are seeing the response.
Late last week, former AEW star Big Swole spoke about some of her issues with the company on her Swole Nation podcast. Several over her comments criticized AEW’s lack of diversity in management positions and in prominent roles on television. Khan responded, listing off people of color in the company and saying that he let Swole go because he did not think her wrestling abilities were good enough. Several AEW wrestlers have since responded, with a mixture of positive and negative reactions. Here are some of the responses to Khan’s comments, including Lio Rush, who has since had a conversation with Khan:

Welcome back. Wrestling is in a different world in modern times, as there is more content available than ever before. A fan can see almost any wrestling from anywhere in the world and it is amazing to have so much out there. Above all else, it can be great to see something special, and now we are going to be seeing something that is more important than most regular matches.
Back in November, AEW’s Jon Moxley entered a rehabilitation center for issues with alcohol abuse and has not appeared for any wrestling promotion since. Over the weekend, Homicide won the Game Changer Wrestling Do Or Die Rumble, earning a GCW World Title shot against Moxley. Game Changer Wrestling has since announced that the match will take place on January 23 in New York City. There is no word on when he will be returning to AEW.
It will be great to have Moxley back. Check out some of his time in AEW:

That doesn’t sound good. There are some very talented wrestlers in the world today but unfortunately they are all susceptible to getting hurt. No matter how talented or skilled they may be, there is the chance that someone could get injured at any given time. Unfortunately that seems to be the case again with one of the higher profile names on SmackDown.
According to PWInsider.com, Sasha Banks may have been injured during a match against Charlotte at a live event on Sunday. Banks was taking a backbreaker but planted her leg wrong, seemingly injuring her leg or knee. She was able to kick out of a cover, but was unable to get to her feet and the match was stopped as a result. There is no word on the specifics of Banks’ injury or how long she could be out of action.
Losing Banks would be a big hit for WWE. Check out what she can do when she is healthy:

He did a lot. There are certain wrestlers who are more active than others and it can often be a great thing to see. Those wrestlers are allowed to get in the ring more often because they are that good and are willing to put in the effort. As a result, they deserve the extra credit and attention, and that is what one of the bigger stars in wrestling is receiving after the end of the year.
The WWE On BT Sports Twitter account has released a graphic showing that Drew McIntyre wrestled the most WWE matches in 2021. McIntyre wrestled 95 matches, with a record of 73-19-3, beating the second place wrestler, Bianca Belair, who wrestled 82 matches. McIntyre began the year as WWE Champion before losing it to Miz via Money in the Bank cash-in. He is also currently out of action with a neck injury.
