That would be big. There are certain legends in wrestling who can be known by one name because they have earned the distinction. Even long after they have stopped getting in the ring, you can still hear from them on occasion, especially if they stick around the industry in some way. That was the case this week, as a retired legend was not happy with a current star.

Over the last few weeks, NXT’s Grayson Waller has been having issues with NXT official Shawn Michaels. This has included Waller interrupting Michaels’ post-Vengeance Day media call, earning himself a suspension. Waller’s suspension was up this week, but he yelled at Michaels after losing a match. Following the ejection, Waller yelled about Michaels again, saying Michaels’ time had come and gone. Michaels, 57, last wrestled at Crown Jewel 2018, his first match in over eight years.
This has been a tricky situation…

That would be a change. The rise of AEW has changed the way the wrestling world works, as now WWE has another big budget wrestling promotion to deal with on the national stage. In addition, AEW has allowed wrestlers to have another place to go, which has led to some interesting situations. Now a current AEW star seems to be teasing a jump back to WWE after a rather nasty exit.
Back in June 2020, FTR left WWE (where they had been known as the Revival), following a six year run with the company. The team has since moved over to AEW, where they are former Tag Team Champions. Dax Harwood has since announced that the team will be sitting out until their AEW contracts expire at the end of April. This week, Harwood posted a new Instagram story, which shows a piece of paper featuring a WWE logo. There is no word on what was on the paper and nothing about FTR’s possible future with WWE has been confirmed or rumored.

This is becoming a tradition. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestling storyline, many of which have been around for decades to continued success. One of the best is to have family members get into trouble with each other, likely setting up a huge match down the line. WWE has been doing that again, and now it seems that they are using various special days to make it work.

Last year on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley have invaded Rey Mysterio’s home, resulting in violence both times. This weekend, on Valentine’s Day, Dominik and Ripley interrupted Rey’s Valentine’s Day dinner with his wife Angie. Dominik and Ripley took over the dinner but Dominik’s credit card was declined, leaving Ripley to pay instead. Rey and Dominik did not get physical this time.

Casting call? We are about a month and a half away from WrestleMania 39, which is being themed as WrestleMania Goes Hollywood. This is the same ad campaign as WrestleMania 21 in 2005, which featured a series of parody movie trailers including WWE stars. These trailers have been aired again in the build to this year’s WrestleMania and now we might be getting something fresh.

Last week, a story broke that WWE would be creating more of the parody movie trailers featuring modern WWE stars. While we knew some of the names, we did not know what they would be doing. According to WrestleVotes, here are the trailers that are being planned:
Miz & Maryse – Top Gun Rhea Ripley/Judgment Day – Stranger Things Brawling Brutes/Drew McIntyre – The 40 Year Old Virgin Becky Lynch/Seth Rollins – Batman and the Joker The Bloodline – Goodfellas There is no word on when the vignettes will begin airing. WrestleMania 39 takes place o..

It can happen to anyone. There are all kinds of injuries a wrestler can undergo and some of them are not as obvious as others. While you can see the big ones right in front of your face, there are others that can put a wrestler on the shelf, even if it does not seem to be that bad. It seems to be the case again, as a former AEW champion is on the shelf with an injury.

During a recent video gaming live stream, former AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida revealed that she is suffering from a finger injury. While Shida said that she is still able to game, she is unable to wrestle at the moment. Shida described the injury as “little”, though she did not give any date on a return to the ring. Her most recent match took place on January 1 in Japan.
Shida has been quite the success in AEW. Check out what she has done:

They’re running out of time. With about a month and a half to go before WrestleMania 39, WWE has already started setting up the card for the show. There are a few matches already set but there are still some things that need to be established. This is also the first WrestleMania under the new regime and now it seems that the change is going to result in a different kind of show.

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has not made any changes to the WrestleMania card in the last month and no major changes are expected to be made. This includes Sami Zayn not being inserted into the World Title match. This is different from previous editions of the show, which saw all kinds of changes to the show all the way up until the last minute.
There have been some great WrestleMania moments over the years. Check out some of the better ones:

That wasn’t nice. Wrestlers have quite the difficult job, as they are required to make fans either love or hate them while realizing that what they are seeing might not be on the up and up. That is a tricky situation, but there are ways that villains can do various evil things which will drive fans crazy. That was the case this week at Monday Night Raw, but things were a little backwards.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They Are? Major Change On The Usos’ Elimination Chamber Status
During his most recent run with WWE, Brock Lesnar has been a babyface for an extended period of time in several years. This has included wearing a cowboy hat and speaking to the fans when he comes to the ring. A clip from this week’s Monday Night Raw has made its way to Twitter, showing Lesnar putting his hat on a young fan and then taking it back. This aired during Lesnar’s entrance on the television broadcast.
He might need some work. Check out Lesnar messing with a kid and his recent efforts:

That’s a different direction. The Bloodline saga has dominated the WWE landscape for over two years now and the story continues to unfold week after week. One of the most important players has been Jey Uso, who has supported his cousin Roman Reigns during most of the story. This has become a problem in recent weeks though, and now we know where a new twist might go.

This coming Saturday, WWE will present its annual Elimination Chamber event from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, both Jey and his brother Jimmy Uso are currently scheduled to work the show. This is a twist on their normal status, as the Usos are not normally permitted to enter Canada due to their previous DUI convictions. The report did include the caveat that this could be a “swerve” or a “storyline”. The Usos do not currently have a match scheduled for the show.

They do have a plan. AEW has been around for a few years now and the company has come a long way in a relatively short amount of time. They still have several things they need to do though and now it seems that they are ready to start one of the most important. What matters is doing it right though, and now we know a bit more about the plans that they have made.

Earlier this month, AEW announced that it would begin running limited live events, beginning with a show on March 11. In a new interview with Under The Ring, AEW’s Jeff Jarrett spoke about the plan, which includes starting slowly and going with a “crawl, walk, run” process. Jarrett also said that the company had a lot of learning to do, saying that they will have hits and misses. Here are some of his comments, with transcription courtesy of Fightful:

It’s a different group. Stables have been a part of WWE’s history for decades now and there is nothing to suggest that they will be going away anytime soon. They are a logical idea, as you can have several wrestlers in one place and getting more television time than they might have otherwise. Now though, we might be seeing a WWE stable gaining another member.

Last month on Monday Night Raw, Maxxine Dupri of Maximum Male Models met Otis and thought he could be perfect for the team. This week, Dupri offered Otis a modeling job while saying that Otis could be the face of their brand, which left Otis seeming intrigued. There is no word on where this could be going or what this will mean for Otis’ partner Chad Gable.
This has potential. Check out what happened, plus what Otis has done away from Gable before:
