He might be back. Celebrities have a long history in wrestling and that should not come as a surprise. Fans of the celebrities are going to want to see what they are doing and wrestling fans can find it interesting when an outsider comes into their world. That can make for some fun moments, and now we might be getting ready to see a prominent celebrity back in WWE.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’ll Be Back: WWE Star Removed From Upcoming Live Events Following Recent Attack
Back in 2021, hip hop star Bad Bunny appeared at WrestleMania 37, where he and Damien Priest teamed together to defeat the Miz and John Morrison. Bunny would return to WWE at the 2022 Royal Rumble as his relationship with the company continued. WWE Head Of Creative Triple H recently posted a photo of himself with Bunny in Los Angeles. There is no word on if Bunny is set to return to WWE anytime soon.

Time off. It can be easy for a wrestler to fall through the cracks these days, as there is so much talent out there at any given time. You never know when you are going to see someone for the last time before they go away for a bit, though sometimes it is more telegraphed than others. That seems to have been the case recently, as a wrestler was attacked and is now going away for a while.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Special Night: AEW Set To Go Head To Head With NXT Again
This week on Monday Night Raw, Solo Sikoa attacked Matt Riddle, resulting in Riddle being taken out of the arena on a stretcher. Now, according to PWInsider.com, Riddle has been pulled from upcoming WWE live events. There is no word on why Riddle is missing ring time, though there is nothing to suggest that he has suffered a legitimate injury.

Another round. The rise of AEW has shaken up the wrestling world in a major way, as there is now another national promotion allowing wrestlers a chance to show what they can do on the big stage. That has led to some issues between AEW and WWE though, and now we are going to get another chance to see both companies showcase themselves on the exact same night.

AEW has announced that it will be making its Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada debut with Dynamite on March 14, 2023. This means that the show, assuming it airs live, will air head to head against NXT. The two shows went head to head for over a year before NXT moved to Tuesday nights full time, though they will occasionally go head to head again. There is no word on why Dynamite is airing on a Tuesday night for this show.

He has their attention. With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster, it can be difficult for anyone to stand out. One of the best ways that they can do this is by making a name for themselves in NXT, where WWE works to develop these wrestlers into main roster stars. There is a lot of talent in NXT and now one of the bosses is talking about how great one of those stars really is.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Still Ok? Becky Lynch Gives Update On Her Shoulder After Return
WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels took part in a media conference call to promote this weekend’s NXT Deadline event. During the call, Michaels spoke about Julius Creed, who he praised by referring to Creed as an “unbelievable athlete” and saying he sees a great deal of potential in Julius and Julius’ brother Brutus.

The Boss is heading overseas. According to a report from PWInsider, Sasha Banks is expected to appear at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 17 event next month. It is unknown in what capacity she will be used, if at all, during the show.
Banks has not wrestled since she and Naomi walked out on WWE before the May 16 episode of Raw. Both women were upset about the creative direction of their characters, and were subsequently stripped of the Women’s Tag Team Championships.
From the report:
Back in October, Varnado teased the idea of wrestling former WWE star KAIRI in STARDOM, which shares the same corporate owner as NJPW and recently did a crossover event with NJPW. Banks has been training at a number of places in recent months in the United States and Mexico.
Banks recently made a number of trademark filings related to her given name as well as the terms Mercedes Mone’, Mone’ Talks, Bank Mone’, and Statement Maker under company name Soulnado, obviously preparing for her next m..

That’s not a great sign. There are all kinds of injuries in the world of wrestling and you never want to see someone be put on the shelf for any amount of time. Unfortunately there are only so many ways to keep wrestlers safe, as an injury can happen at any time. One of the bigger WWE names was forced out of action with an injury earlier this year and while she is back, things are not quite where they should be.

Becky Lynch suffered a separated shoulder during her match against Bianca Belair at Summerslam but returned to action at Survivor Series. Lynch was interviewed by Verge Magazine after the Survivor Series match, where she revealed that her shoulder “still isn’t feeling right”, but the energy from the crowd made her forget everything else. There is nothing to suggest that Lynch will be missing any more ring time due to her shoulder.

Run it back. On last night’s episode of AEW Dynamite, it was confirmed that FTR will defend their ROH Tag Team championships at the 2022 Final Battle event against their rival, The Briscoes, in a Double Dog Collar match.
This came about at the end of Dynamite, following The Acclaimed’s successful defense of the AEW Tag Team Championships against FTR. Colten and Austin Gunn appeared on screen and pulled a Christmas card out of a stocking. They then pulled out dog collars to review the stipulation for the match.

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. 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?
Starrcade 2018
Date: November 25, 2018
Location: US Bank Arena, Cincinnati, Ohio
Commentators: Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton
This is something that could range from interesting to head scratching. Last night, WWE held a big house show featuring stars from both shows under the name of Starrcade. The show ran about three and a half hours and tonight we’re seeing a one hour version with some special moments and matches selected. Let’s get to it.
