Now that is awesome. Wrestlers are a lot of things at once but for many fans, they are nothing short of heroes. You can find fans who absolutely love the wrestlers they cheer for every week and it can be a special moment if one of them ever gets to meet a star. That was the situation this week in one of the cooler things that you will see in wrestling for a good while. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: She’s Rowdy: Ronda Rousey Injured In Pre-SmackDown Brawl, Possible WrestleMania Implications This week on SmackDown, Rhea Ripley defeated Liv Morgan. Following the match, a Morgan fan was seen crying at ringside. The fan, a nine year old girl, was then brought backstage where she was able to meet Morgan. The two hugged, with Morgan telling her that she couldn’t leave a fan crying out there like that after a match. Morgan also said when the girl turned eighteen, they could become the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. That was great. Check out the meeting, the match and one of Morgan’s best career m..
And NEW! Title changes can mean the world for a championship as it can breathe new life into the title’s status. Occasionally something just needs to be changed and that can make for a big moment. It can be even more impressive when someone special is involved in the titles changing hands. Both things were true this week, as a legend was involved in helping make another legend a champion. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE “Loves” This Superstar Backstage, Possible Future World Champion The main event of this week’s Monday Night Raw saw Lita and Becky Lynch defeat Damage Ctrl to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles. Late in the match, Bayley interfered on Damage Ctrl’s behalf, prompting WWE Hall Of Famer Trish Stratus to run to the ring and help take Bayley out. The win makes the first Women’s Tag Team Title reign for either Lita or Lynch. It was a cool moment. Check out the title change, plus more from each of the new champs: [This post contains video, click to play] [T..
He has fans. With so many talented wrestlers on the WWE roster, it can be difficult for a wrestler to find a way to stand out. Being able to have good matches on a regular basis helps, but there has to be something more to really push someone to the next level. It seems that a current star in WWE has done just that, and is receiving praise backstage as a result. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: One More: Sami Zayn Getting Another Title Shot Against Roman Reigns According to WrestleVotes in an interview with GiveMeSport, several people backstage in WWE, including COO Triple H “love” Gunther, to the point where he may be a future World Champion. Other than Triple H, names such as Road Dogg and Jason Jordan are said to be fans. Gunther is the reigning Intercontinental Champion and has held the title since June 10, 2022. This gives him the longest reign since The Rock in 1997-98. They’re onto something. Check out what Gunther has been doing in WWE: [This post contains video, click to play] [Th..
That would be different. WrestleMania has been a WWE tradition for nearly forty years and there is nothing to suggest that will change. The show has long since featured the biggest stars in the company in several matches over the course of the night. Over the last three years, and continuing this year, the show has spread to two nights instead of just one. Now the show might be in for another change and the WWE roster is reportedly unhappy. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Not For Him: 37 Year Old Second Generation Star Reveals Plans For WWE Run According to Wrestlingnews.co, WWE COO Triple H is favoring a smaller WrestleMania card this year. As a result, several names who have been appearing on WWE TV in recent months may not appear on the show. This goes against the norm in previous years of getting as many wrestlers as possible on the card. There is also no battle royal planned this year to get more wrestlers to work the show. Finally, some wrestlers are unhappy with so many legends and cel..
So maybe not? One of the biggest wrestling stories over the last year has been the return of several former WWE stars. After multiple years of mass releases, a bunch of the former WWE wrestlers have been brought back into the company. These returning stars have had varying levels of success but now we know a little more about their internal reception with possibly the most important person around. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Interested In Bringing In Two Former World Champions Back in December, a rumor speculated that WWE COO Triple H was unhappy with some of the stars who had been brought back into the company. However, in an update from Fightful Select, if there is any truth to this, WWE officials are downplaying the idea. It is said that even if Triple H were disappointed, he would never make this known, either publicly or privately. The wrestlers were said to be brought back to add depth to the roster, though some, such as Bronson Reed and Johnny Gargano, will be..
She’s a friend. There have been several teams throughout the years in WWE and some of them develop quite the friendship during their time together. Every so often you will see that friendship continue after the wrestlers leave a promotion, but it is much rarer to see it continue when one star is in a different promotion entirely. That was on display over the weekend. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: On The Mend: Update On Injured AEW Star’s Recovery Status Over the weekend, Mercedes Mone, better known as Sasha Banks during her time in WWE, defeated Kairi to become the new IWGP Women’s Champion. A fan shot video from the match shows Mone’s former partner Bayley in the crowd, helping lead chants for Mone. There was no mention of Bayley being at the show and she was not recognized in any way. Bayley and Mone were the inaugural WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. This was a cool visual. Check out Bayley in the crowd, plus the two in their WWE days: [This post contains video, click to play] [This po..
Mutual respect. After Smackdown went off the air this past week, WWE shot and released some footage of Santos Escobar and Rey Mysterio backstage. They showed mutual respect for each other, as well as exchanged Lucha masks. You can see the clip below: [This post contains video, click to play] Both Escobar and Mysterio competed in a Fatal-4-way match to determine the No. 1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship. Both Escobar, Mysterio, along with Karrion Kross would come up on the losing end of the battle, while Madcap Moss would pick up the victory. He will face Gunther next week for the championship. In the clip, Escobar talked about being a little kid and watching Mysterio with his father. Escobar said all he wanted was to take Mysterio’s legacy and make it his and then talked about the respect he has for Mysterio for being “all about lucha.” Both men exchanged masks to show mutual respect. Editor’s Opinion: This is very cool, as I know how much Lucha means to both sup..
Words matter. There are certain stars in WWE history who are bigger names than others, to the point where they are deemed legends. Those are the people who are going to get attention no matter what they are doing and it can make a big difference to have them around. Most of those appearances are saved for special events, such as the recent Raw XXX. Now we know a detail about what happened on the show. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Take Your Time: NXT Star To Miss TV Time After Violent Attack One of the names who appeared at Raw XXX was the Undertaker, who confronted LA Knight and threw him to Bray Wyatt, who left Knight laying. Undertaker and Wyatt then had a staredown, with Undertaker whispering something to him. During an appearance on Tim & Friends, Undertaker revealed that he was always available for Wyatt if he ever wanted to talk or had questions. There is no word on when Undertaker will appear for WWE again. It was a cool moment. Check out the interview, the staredown and Undertaker..
They’re planting seeds. We are less than two months away from WrestleMania 39 and WWE has already started announcing the card. There have been multiple title matches set for the show, but several matches still need to be made official for Los Angeles. Since it is WrestleMania, a lot of these matches have to be planned far in advance. We may be seeing some of that work being done now. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Checking In: The Miz Set To Represent WWE In Rather Cool Event Seth Rollins appeared on the Pat McAfee Show this week (with his appearance beginning at around 1:39:00) and talked about Logan Paul. Rollins talked about how he does not believe Paul truly loves wrestling and claimed that Paul was only coming into Rollins’ sport to make money. He also suggested that Paul would not say anything to his face and does his bragging on social media. Paul eliminated Rollins from the Royal Rumble, which led to speculation of a WrestleMania match between the two, but nothing has been made offic..
It’s a side gig. There are a lot of people in WWE and some of them have been around for a very long time. As a result of that longevity, they are often given special responsibilities that can make WWE feel more important. Occasionally this is something that will be seen by a lot of people at the same time and that will be the case again, as a WWE star is crossing over into another sport. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: How WWE Views The Top SmackDown Stars The Miz has been announced as a member of the NBA Ruffles Celebrity Game over All-Star weekend.

They’ll be around. One of the biggest WWE stories of the last several months has been the return of several wrestlers after their releases from the company the previous year. It can mean a lot to have these wrestlers back, especially when some of them did not leave on the best of terms. Two wrestlers in particular are back with the company and now we know a little more about it. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: WWE Teases Feud And Possible Gimmick Overhaul Last year, the Good Brothers (Karl Anderson/Luke Gallows) returned to WWE to help AJ Styles in his feud with the Judgment Day. According to Fightful Select, the team signed five years deals with WWE, keeping them under contract until 2027. New hirings are usually on three years deals but WWE COO Triple H was reportedly offering the team longer deals to make up for the team being released in 2020. The team is good.

It’s part of the job. Despite its problems, WWE is still the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world. The company is active in several countries, but the majority of its work is done in the United States. It makes sense for the company to want to be associated with some of the biggest sporting events in the country and they tried to do so again this week. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Again: WWE Reportedly Makes More Office Cuts This Week Monday Night Raw stars Montez Ford and Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair appeared on NBC’s pre-game coverage of the Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Kansas City Chiefs NFL playoff game. Ford talked about the energy being the same as you find at a WWE event and Belair talked about the high stakes. Both picked the Chiefs to win, which would wind up being correct. It was a cool moment. Check out part of their appearance and the two of them in their more familiar location: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, clic..
They do history well. WWE has been around for a long time and has been the dominant wrestling promotion in the United States for the last twenty plus years. The company has not faced serious competition in a long time and a lot of that has been due to its flagship television show, Monday Night Raw. That show is about to celebrate a special anniversary and WWE is going down Memory Lane. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Another Way: WWE Plans Different Kind Of Royal Rumble Surprises Next week, Monday Night Raw is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary with a special show. The event will include a variety of legends, a steel cage match and a pair of title matches. This week on SmackDown, WWE aired a video looking back at some of the greatest Monday Night Raw moments in history. The video included moments from throughout the show’s history, which were not shown in chronological order. It’s a rather cool video. Check out the Monday Night Raw tribute and some other classic show moments: [This post ..
Finn Balor was recently interviewed by BT Sport, where he discussed his conversation with Vince McMahon about joining the Judgement Day and turning heel. This was also the evening that Edge was kicked out of the group. [This post contains video, click to play] Below are Balor’s comments: “I’ve actually never watched this back at all. This was such a weird night because I remember it was like 7:55 PM, and we’re going live at eight o’clock. I knock on Vince McMahon’s office, and I go there, and I say, ‘Sir, have you got a minute?’ He looks up from his papers, and he goes, ‘Is it about tonight?’ I said, ‘Yeah, it’s about tonight. It’s about the heel turn.’ He goes, ‘Oh, come in.’ Balor continued, “I just wanted some direction as to, ‘Hey, am I going out there in the suit? In The Judgment Day colors, or am I going out as Finn? Am I going out to music? What way are we doing it?’ He said, ‘Oh, you just go out as Finn and then do the segment.’ I said, ‘Well, oh, okay. That’s cool’. “The..
