Kayla Braxton Shuts Down Sami Zayn’s Trolling With Awesome Response

October 10, 2022

I’d call it a feud. Wrestling is built around the idea of having fans put their money down to see people get into a fight with one emerging victorious. That has been the way the industry works for decades and it is still the case to this day. Some feuds are a little more serious than others though and now a slightly less intense one is getting a new stage after a pretty long hiatus. Back in October 2021, WWE backstage correspondent Kayla Braxton dressed up as Sami Zayn for Halloween and impersonated him on Talking Smack. Earlier this week, Braxton asked who she should be for Halloween this year, prompting a response from Zayn, saying he held grudges. Braxton responded by posting a photo of herself in Zayn’s Honorary Uce shirt and asking “how about now?”. It’s kind of complicated. Check out what started it all and the fallout: [This post contains video, click to play] Guys – Halloween is approaching. In years past, I’ve dressed up as a better @SamiZayn than Sami Zayn and of course l..

NXT Stars Get Married Over The Weekend In International Ceremony

October 3, 2022

That’s great to hear! Wrestlers have some very difficult schedules, as they are regularly on the road for events rather than getting to stay in one place. That is not the easiest situation in the world as it leaves little time for their personal lives. This would especially include their romantic relationships, but sometimes it can wind up working out. It certainly did this weekend. NXT correspondent McKenzie Mitchell revealed on Instagram that she and NXT commentator Vic Joseph were married this weekend in Florence, Italy. The two had been engaged since November 2021 but had not announced a date for their wedding. There is no word on if the two will be missing any time from their work on NXT or who could fill in for them if they are gone. View this post on Instagram A post shared by McKenzie Mitchell (@mckenzienmitchell) Opinion: That is the kind of thing that is always great to hear and good for the two of them on finding each other and the happiness that comes with it.

Fan And Reporter Says He Was Targeted By NXT Management At Taping

July 30, 2021

That might not go well. The Coronavirus pandemic shook up the wrestling world in several ways and things are only starting to get back to normal. WWE has allowed fans back into their arenas for major shows for the last few events and NXT has allowed a small group of fans since the beginning of the summer. Now it seems that one fan in particular will not be around for the time being. Wrestling Observer Newsletter correspondent JJ Williams has posted a series of tweets saying that he was “singled out” and removed from recent NXT TV tapings due to working for the Newsletter. Williams is a regular at NXT tapings and has reported on them since 2014. According to Williams, his ID was photographed and all of the photos he had taken were deleted. He was also told that his social media was being monitored. As a result, Williams has said that he will no longer be attending NXT tapings. AEW President Tony Khan has said that he will see Williams at Dynamite in Jacksonville next week. Last week I..
