According to Ringside News, WWE may be completely losing interest in their entire tag team division. This applies to both Raw and SmackDown Live. Mike Johnson indicated on PWInsider Elite Radio that the company may not really care about the division anymore, given the lackluster angles as of late.
Here is what he had to say: “I think they have decided that nobody involved in the tag division is worth their time and they’re not going to invest into it because they don’t think it makes them any money. And That’s that.”
Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, but there are definitely signs to suggest it is how WWE feels right now.
Tag teams have been thrown together on Raw, while on SmackDown Live there is barely any action involving the current tag teams beyond the storyline with The New Day and The Bar.
Ringside News notes that this can also be explained by teams getting wins and taking a multitude of losses afterward. They also claim a number of storylines and angles have h..

According to an article by Ringside News, the USA Network may not want to continue working with WWE in any capacity moving forward. As we’ve heard, SmackDown Live is expected to move to another Network or social media site moving forward. USA Network does not want to continue paying for both Raw and SmackDown Live.
To add to this speculation, Raw has not signed on for a new deal yet with the USA Network. It appears that the Network could be in search of a new professional wrestling property to air.
This appears to be due to the cost of having WWE programming on their Network. From what we hear, the new deal would be worth a lot more than the current one they have.
Dave Meltzer commented on this matter on the Wrestling Observer Radio. He believes that the USA Network has no real big shows to draw ratings besides WWE programming.
If WWE were to leave their Network, they would lose a lot. They could have the mindset of taking a chance with a smaller wrestling company, paying them less..

Ringside News has an article up to explain why SmackDown Live stable SAnitY hasn’t made their debut on the blue brand yet. SAnitY SAnitY was announced to be getting their call-up from NXT during the Superstar Shake-Up the week after WrestleMania 34. Over a month on and we will haven’t seen them debut for the blue brand. So why is that?
Bryan Alvarez spoke briefly during Wrestling Observer Live about why the faction has likely not made their debut yet.
Here is what he had to say: “I’d like for them to be there soon. But they did the Superstar Shake-Up and a lot of names came up so it’s better to slowly bring some of them in instead of just throwing them all on tv at the same time and having people lost in the shuffle like Bobby Lashley.”
If that is the case, it is likely WWE is waiting to capitalize on the faction when the time is right.
One idea we’ve seen that has been speculated as a possible debut feud against The Bludgeon Brothers. This comes as the SmackDown Tag Team Champions..

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan was a guest on CBS Philly’s Howard Eskin Show, where he discussed what the three biggest moments of his career have been. Hogan first explained how he developed the character he made famous in WWE: “I had no idea [Hulkamania] was going to happen. When I got into the [pro] wrestling business, I loved the business. I was a fan, number one. But I just wanted to get into the business and be good enough, earn a good living, and be very supportive of the artform of [pro] wrestling. Now, I’d guess you’d call it sports entertainment. But the thing that was really crazy was I’ve always had a good heart, I’ve always been a good person, and I just was trying to find a character that would be that ultimate American, positive character. And, actually, Vince McMahon, Sr. helped me with the name, ‘Hulk Hogan’. I already had the name ‘Hulk’, but he gave me the ‘Hogan’ part to represent the Irish community. Yeah, I was looking for this All-American character that would be su..

These things are never a good idea. With Royal Wedding fever sweeping America, you knew WWE was going to get in on the deal. Weddings have been a plot device in wrestling for years and normally not in a good way. Be it everything falling apart to someone going into a cake, bad things are bound to happen one or another. There’s a long history of it too and you should know what that means.
If you don’t, I do.

WWE has released a Top Ten video looking at the Wildest Wedding Moments. The video covers a long history of moments, dating all the way back to 1985 and covering several weddings that might not have been the most remembered. A lot of them had a wrestling name officiating the wedding and almost all of them had someone interfering. There was however more than one wedding that actually went off without a hitch. Opinion: There’s a reason these things work so well. Weddings are the kind of things that people universally ..

NXT Superstar Kona Reeves was interviewed by Byron Saxton on WWE.com, where he discussed his time with NXT and his future with the company. What is the motivation behind the nickname “NXT’s Finest”: I insist that I’m “NXT’s Finest” because I know I am the finest in every aspect. People call themselves the “greatest” or “the best” all the time. That’s okay because they are all alike. I am different than all those basic people. I have the finest hair, finest skin complexion, finest taste in music and finest ethnic background! My life is the finest it has ever been, and it’s only the beginning!
How does Reeves maintain the “Finest” status: I go to the finest hair salon in Orlando, Fla., thanks to Mandy Rose. I have my coats and boots custom-made, and I only eat the finest organic foods. It’s not easy to live the finest lifestyle, but if you work hard, you get to play hard.
He discusses his heritage: My mother is Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino and Spanish. My father is Dutch and Indonesian,..

While on Wrestling Observer Radio, Cody [Rhodes] revealed that the All In show may not actually air on PPV television. The All In event is still months away, but the tickets for the independently produced show sold out in just under 30 minutes, surprising everyone.
When discussing the show on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Cody explained why the show may not actually be airing to those, not in attendance.
Here is what he had to say: “Streaming pay-per-view tv basically it being accessible obviously we have talked about it and we have talked to various people who are capable of doing that for us. It’s a matter of maybe the best potential deal. But it’s also a matter of we have guys like Pentagon who is represented elsewhere we have guys like Okada who is representing New Japan Pro Wrestling and we have me, Matt, and Nick who are Ring Of Honor guys but also New Japan guys.”
So from what we understand, contractual issues may be a huge stepping stone for competitors working the show as t..

ROH Superstar Cody [Rhodes] was a guest on Wrestling Observer Radio where he revealed that a lot of talent can be difficult to deal with at the meet and greets and why that shows who they are as a person. Cody explained that one way he has always found how he can tell what the worth of a talent is comes from the way they treat their fans at meet and greets.
He explains that fans can wait hours in line just for the chance at meeting talent they look up to only to have some of them be rude.
Here is what he had to say: “I have a rule about meet and greets and I shared this with Matt and Nick. I say you can always judge a talent, because I have done do many meet and greets for years Axxess along just straight WWE-style 500 people in a line machine-style. My rule is you can always judge a person by how they handle meet and greets.”
“And you’d be amazed at some of the most good guy and good girl talent who are actually are kinda d*cks at meet and greets compared to those who are just swee..

Vince McMahon matters. Last month, WWE had one of its annual traditions with the Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania 34. As usual, the question was who might be showing up for either a debut, a return, a call up or just doing something big. That was the case with Drew McIntyre, who was back on the main roster for the first time in several years. It was clear that WWE had big plans for him, but apparently they might be even bigger than people were thinking.
He’s still got it.

According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, which has accurately reported various stories in recent months, McIntyre has two major supporters in Vince McMahon and Triple H. Both are said to be very hands on with McIntyre while McMahon is said to be very high on him. At the moment, McIntyre is paired with Dolph Ziggler, which seems to be just a holding spot for him at the moment but could turn into something bigger down the line. Texting With A S..
