Keeping him busy. Last week, Kevin Owens appeared in a vignette on Monday Night Raw, saying that he would be back in about a month. Owens hasn’t been in the ring since late last year due to a double knee surgery, but now it seems he’s about to get back in the ring. That’s been a lot of time on the sidelines though, and it seems that Owens has been filling some of it with a little work for the future.
According to Ringsidenews.com, Owens has spent some of his time recuperating down at the WWE Performance Center, where he has been helping coach various NXT talents with their promo abilities. Owens is well known for his promo abilities to go along with his in-ring abilities and has exchange promos with various top names. He is currently scheduled to return as a face for the first time in WWE.
Owens can talk. Check out him making something interesting out of going bowling:

The bidding war continues. As you might know, AEW has thrown the wrestling world on its head with all kinds of wrestlers trying to get in on the new promotion in one way or another. This has included several promotions competing for all kinds of talent, meaning different wrestlers are hearing a lot of offers. In this case, one of the bigger names had quite the offer from a somewhat surprising source.
In a new interview with Wrestling Observer Radio, Chris Jericho talked about an offer that he received from Impact Wrestling before moving to AEW full time. Jericho said that he was offered mid seven figures (over a million dollars) for a four match series. Jericho mentioned that he was also in negotiations with WWE and New Japan, before signing with AEW. He will face Kenny Omega at Double Or Nothing on May 25.
It should be a big one. Check out Jericho signing with AEW in a cool moment:

Some of the stops on the road. We’re less than two months away from WrestleMania 35 and that means there is a lot to be done before we get to the biggest show of the year. In this case that means two pay per views between the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania, with the first one of those being Elimination Chamber. Some stuff went down there, but what does it mean for the champions?
Counting the Kickoff Show, there were six title matches at this year’s Elimination Chamber event with two titles changing hands. Both the SmackDown Tag Team Titles and Intercontinental Title had new holders after Sunday, with the Usos and Finn Balor winning the titles respectively. The Cruiserweight Title, the Raw Women’s Title and the SmackDown World Title were retained.
This didn’t help things. Check out a huge crash that helped the Usos win the titles:

The A-lister is getting it done one more time! Tonight at the 2019 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, The Miz and Shane McMahon defended their Smackdown Live Tag Team championships against The Usos.
But before the match, The Miz brought out his wife Maryse and they had a very special announcement for the crowd:
They are having another baby!

Unfortunately, the greatest tag team in the world came up short, as Miz and Shane lost their titles to The Usos in a tough contest.

It had been previously reported that the WWE would make history one more time at the 2019 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, as the company would crown the inaugural Women’s Tag Team champions on a match of the same name.
But who were the victors of this historic match?
After a grueling contest, Sasha Banks and Bayley defeated Nia Jax and Tamina, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan, The IIconics, Naomi and Carmella, and Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville to have the honor of being called the first-ever WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.

It’s time for the first of two stops on the way towards WrestleMania 35, because for some reason there are two pay per views between the Royal Rumble and the biggest show of the year. First up we have Elimination Chamber, though I’m not sure you would know that after this week’s Monday Night Raw, which mainly focused on WrestleMania. There is however a pay per view card to look at, with a pair of major matches. Let’s get to it.
Kickoff Show: Cruiserweight Title: Buddy Murphy(c) vs. Akira Tozawa Was anyone realistically expecting this to be on the main show? The Cruiserweight Title is all but guaranteed to be on the Kickoff Show anymore, though I can go for the idea of having them get a little extra time so things can be fleshed out. Tozawa won a four way match on 205 Live to earn the shot against Murphy, who is becoming quite the top level Cruiserweight Champion.
I’m thinking that’s enough to keep the title on Murphy, who seems almost guaranteed to have a major title match at Wrestle..

And there you have it. Over the last few weeks, one of the biggest stories has been the possibility of All Elite Wrestling being brought to live. The promotion, run by Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks, has been teased for weeks now with names for events and shows, but it wasn’t clear if the idea was actually going to get off the ground. With a new year comes new details though, and now we know a lot.
Well this is big. Check out the announcement:

On the latest episode of Being The Elite, which debuted at midnight pacific coast time on January 1, 2019, Rhodes, the Young Bucks and Adam Page officially announced All Elite Wrestling and their first event called Double Or Nothing. There are no more details at this time such as a location or a date, though there is a good chance that more information will come out on the next episode of the show.
Opinion: You had to know this was coming and they picked a good time to drop the news. Wrestling isn’t..

Another bunch for the pile. Last year, WWE debuted a match that was both long awaited and long overdue: the women’s Royal Rumble match. Just like the men’s version, thirty women joined into the match and competed for a title shot at the upcoming WrestleMania. The first event was won by Asuka and the second edition has been announced. Now we just need to fill in the lineup.
This week on Monday Night Raw, a good chunk of the roster for the match was filled as seven names were confirmed to be competing. During a six woman tag, it was announced that Bayley, Sasha Banks, Ember Moon, Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan were all going to be taking part in the match. On the same show, Natalya was confirmed for the match as well. These seven join Carmella, who will be entering the match in the #30 spot.
Several of the women were very excited. Check out what three of them had to say:

The countdown is on. We’re about three months away from WrestleMania 35 and that means it’s more than early enough to start speculating on the card. While nothing has officially been announced, there are various matches that you can probably pencil in already. One of those would seem to be the Universal Title match, but it might not be as simple as it seems.
According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, there is a chance that the Universal Title match might not be champion Brock Lesnar defending against Seth Rollins. While the match has yet to be announced, Rollins has mentioned Lesnar several times on recent editions of Monday Night Raw, saying that he wants to face him. Lesnar is currently scheduled to defend the title against Braun Strowman at the Royal Rumble.
Rollins certainly had something to say about Lesnar this week. Check out his fired up promo from Monday Night Raw:

It was a good ride. A few weeks back, the McMahon Family returned and officially took over WWE again. That meant the removal of all General Managers from their authority roles, which meant a lot of things were changing in a hurry. For one thing, Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live General Managers Baron Corbin and Paige were gone, but there was one more loose end to tie up.
This week on Monday Night Raw, Alexa Bliss confirmed that she was no longer in charge of the women’s division. Bliss only held the job for a few weeks, being given the role by Corbin while she was on the shelf with an injury. As a result of her losing the position, Bliss will be starting her own talk show segment called A Moment of Bliss, with the first episode airing next week and featuring Ronda Rousey as her guest.
Who better than Bliss to explain it? Here’s Bliss’ announcement of the big change:

It’s a busy one. With the last Monday Night Raw of 2018 in the books, it’s time to move on to the new year. That typically means a big show to kick things off, with a title match, a big return or something else that you don’t usually get. WWE likes to get things going well and the fact that it’s going up against the College Football Playoff title game might help things a bit. So what’s on tap?
This week on Monday Night Raw, a host of announcements were made for next week’s show. These include appearances by Brock Lesnar and John Cena, the return of Braun Strowman, and a Tag Team Title match with the Revival challenging Chad Gable and Bobby Roode. Strowman has been out of action with a shoulder injury and Lesnar hasn’t appeared on Monday Night Raw since November. This will be Cena’s first appearance on the show since April.
He’s back. Check out Strowman’s impressive 2018:
