On The Injured List: AEW Star Out 5-6 Weeks With Foot Injury, Possibly Longer

February 24, 2023

It can happen to anyone. Injuries are one of the great equalizers in wrestling as any wrestler can get hurt and put on the shelf at any time. You never want to see someone get hurt and left out of the ring for any amount of time, as their time on the injured list could go on for awhile. Now another AEW star has revealed that he is hurt, but he has an idea of how long he will be out.

Del Sol also suffered a small fracture near his toe. He is expected to miss five to six weeks of action, though any possible ligament damage could extend his time up to about three months.

February 24, 2023

That wraps it up. Wrestlers have a lot to deal with on a regular basis and that isn’t even taking into account things outside of the ring. In addition to wrestling, they often have to deal with the same kinds of problems that normal people have to face. Sometimes those things are especially serious, like a problem that an AEW star seems to have taken a step towards overcoming.

They Are? Major Change On The Usos’ Elimination Chamber Status

February 14, 2023

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.

WRESTLING RUMORS: The Usos Are Likely To Miss Elimination Chamber

February 5, 2023

It’s a situation. WWE is an international wrestling promotion which runs events around the world. This has become even more prevalent in recent years and continues to be so to this day. Every year the company heads to Saudi Arabia for multiple shows, along with other international events. That will be the case again later this month, but two prominent names are not likely to be there.

Double History: Title Change And Betrayal Take Place On AEW Dynamite

June 16, 2022

Double history has been made. AEW has only been around for a little over three years now and that time has seen the company build up its own history. The company has a series of championships and stars in its time and that means they are able to put together some very good things. That was the case again this week as history was made in more ways than just one. The main event of this week’s AEW Dynamite saw the Young Bucks regain the AEW Tag Team Titles from Jurassic Express in a ladder match. This makes the Bucks the first ever two time champions in the company’s history. Following the loss, Christian Cage, who had been serving as a mentor to Jurassic Express, turned on the team by attacking Jungle Boy. The match was originally scheduled to include the Hardys but they were removed following Jeff Hardy’s DUI arrest earlier this week. Opinion: I’m not entirely stunned by the Bucks getting the titles back, as they are the most famous team AEW has ever had. That should open up some poss..

It Gets Worse: More On Jeff Hardy’s Arrest, Off Of AEW TV

June 14, 2022

It gets bigger. There are very few modern wrestling stars on the level of Jeff Hardy. After one of the most successful tag team careers in history, Hardy went on to become a top singles star and multiple time World Champion. However, personal issues have taken their toll on him, including another DUI arrest earlier this week. Now things have gotten even worse for Hardy. According to F4WOnline.com, following Hardy’s DUI arrest, WarnerMedia issued a decree that Hardy was not to be used in any more promotion for AEW programming. A ladder match scheduled for this week’s AEW Dynamite between the Hardys, the Young Bucks and the Jurassic Express is no longer being advertised in AEW’s official preview. In addition, according to PWInsider.com, Hardy has paid his bond and will appear in court on Tuesday at 1:30 PM. Opinion: This is the kind of thing that almost has to happen, and I’m not sure when Hardy is going to be back on AEW TV. If WarnerMedia doesn’t want Hardy on the show, he isn’t goin..

WWE Hall Of Famer Arrested, Facing 30 Years In Prison

May 7, 2022

That is not a good way to go. There are a lot of names that have come up throughout the history of wrestling and some of them are rather famous. Unfortunately, some of them are more infamous than famous, often for things that are not exactly positive. That is the case with a certain WWE Hall of Famer and now things have gotten a lot worse than they were just a few months ago. Back in March, WWE Hall of Famer Tammy Sytch was involved in a car accident that killed a man in Ormond Beach, Florida. According to PWInsider.com, Sytch has been arrested and is facing nine charges, including DUI Manslaughter, driving with a suspended or revoked license and seven counts of DUI causing damage to a person or property.

VIDEO: Footage Released From Jimmy Uso’s DUI Arrest, Uso Swears At Police Officer

That doesn’t make it better. Wrestlers are like anyone else in that they have personal issues that take place behind the scenes. Some of these are more prominent than others and unfortunately a lot of them do not exactly paint wrestlers in the best light. That was the case last year and now we can see a bit more about just how bad the whole thing wound up being. Back in July, SmackDown’s Jimmy Uso was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Pensacola, Florida. Now TMZ has released video of the incident, which shows Uso yelling at the officer and swearing at him. The officer said that he hoped Uso passed his field sobriety tests, sending Uso into a rant against the officer, accusing him of making a remark that he shouldn’t have. The officer tried to calm things down and said Uso had misunderstood. Following his arrest, Uso was eventually ordered to complete classes related to the whole situation and has since done so. This isn’t the best thing. Check out the video from Uso’s arrest: [This po..

Him? WWE Presents Very Surprising Name As Face Of Monday Night Raw

April 18, 2022

They seem to be impressed. WWE has been around for a very long time and it means a lot to be one of the company’s featured stars. If you are one of the focal points of WWE, it suggests that you are going to be a major player in the wrestling industry and that means your face is going to be seen in a lot of places. That was the case again this week and the face might have been a surprise. This weekend, the United States Football League returned after a nearly forty year absence. The broadcast of at least one game included an advertisement for WWE Monday Night Raw and SmackDown. While the SmackDown side of the graphic featured Roman Reigns, the Monday Night Raw side featured Cody Rhodes.

Roman Reigns Opens Up On Jimmy Uso’s DUI Arrest

August 16, 2021

He would know. There are a lot of wrestlers on the WWE roster and sometimes they make headlines for the wrong reasons. It could be anything from a minor deal to a major issue but sometimes you see a wrestler getting some bad attention. That was the case with a WWE star earlier this year and now someone pretty close to them is opening up about what happened. WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns recently spoke with the New York Post and discussed his cousin Jimmy Uso’s recent DUI arrest. Reigns talked about how everyone makes mistakes at times and rather than piling onto Uso, he attempted to jump in with love and help in an attempt to help Uso become a better person. Uso was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol in July, marking his fourth arrest for such an offense. He was never suspended by WWE and the Usos won the SmackDown Tag Team Titles less than two weeks after the arrest. Reigns and the Usos do have a history.

Possible Reason WWE Did Not Punish Jimmy Uso (It Involves The Rock)

July 12, 2021

That would explain a lot. The biggest WWE story of the week has been Jimmy Uso’s DUI arrest. Uso has a history of issues with alcohol but it does not seem to have stopped WWE from pushing him. This week’s SmackDown was partially centered around Uso, who was treated the same as his brother Jey to end the show. It seems that there might be a reason behind Jimmy’s treatment. According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE may have decided to move forward with Jimmy’s push because he is already part of a main event angle on SmackDown involving Reigns. The story could ultimately involve the Rock, who may be facing Roman Reigns in a future WrestleMania match. As a result, there is a chance that WWE will not be punishing Uso for his issues. Rock can be quite influential.

WWE RUMOR: Future Plans For The Usos May Surprise You

That’s a way to go. One of the biggest wrestling stories of the week has been Jimmy Uso being arrested for a DUI. This is something that has happened multiple times now and it seems fairly clear that Uso is in need of some kind of help. It remains to be seen if he will pursue that help, but something clearly needs to be done. Now we have an idea of what WWE might be doing, and it is a rather interesting way to go. Uso appeared on this week’s SmackDown, reuniting with his brother Jey Uso and cousin Roman Reigns. The trio hugged in the ring with Reigns talking about how he wanted all of them to be champions, with himself as Universal Champion and the Usos as the Tag Team Champions. During the same show, the current Tag Team Champions, Rey and Dominik Mysterio, returned and brawled with the Usos to end the show. According to Wrestlingnews.co, the plan is for the Usos to win the titles with the title change coming at Summerslam. Should the Usos win the titles, it will mark their seventh t..

WWE RUMOR: Backstage Reaction To Jimmy Uso’s Arrest

As they should be. Wrestlers are some of the biggest and loudest personalities that you will see around the entertainment world, but there is another side to everyone involved. While fans see one part of the wrestlers on television, there is another side that we do not get to see very often. That was on display this week and now WWE is not exactly happy with what happened. As previously reported, Jimmy Uso was arrested on suspicion of DUI earlier this week. This is Uso’s fourth arrest for alcohol related issues in less than three years. According to the WrestleVotes Twitter account, WWE officials are said to be “extremely disappointed” in Uso’s actions. It is no longer seen as bad luck or a mistake but rather personal judgment.

BREAKING: Jimmy Uso Arrested For DUI Again

July 6, 2021

According to a report from TMZ, Jimmy Uso was arrested last evening in Pensacola, Florida, for driving under the influence of alcohol. He has been charged with a misdemeanor DUI. Uso, whose real name is Jonathan Fatu, was pulled over at around 10:35 PM on Monday in Pensacola after police say that he ran a red light after being clocked going 50 MPH in a 35 MPH zone. During subsequent questioning, they smelled alcohol on him, so they asked him to exit his Dodge Charger and gave him a field sobriety test, which he failed. Official police records state that Uso’s Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) breath tests came back at .202 and .205, which is well above Florida’s legal limit of .08. His bond is currently set at $500. This is not Uso’s first DUI; he was arrested in July 2019 for a similar offense. He was later found not guilty of the charges. He has been featured in prominent storylines as of late, with his cousin Roman Reigns: [This post contains video, click to play] We will continue ..
