Possible Sign That Naomi Is Done With WWE

This could be a bad one. The biggest wrestling story of the week has been Naomi and Sasha Banks walking out on WWE. The two left last week’s Monday Night Raw over creative differences involving the show’s planned main event. Since then, WWE has spoken negatively about the two of them and things are not looking great. Now things have been taken to another level. According to Wrestlinginc.com, Naomi has removed all references to WWE from her social media accounts. This includes removing the “WWE Superstar” description and “FeelTheGlow” hashtag. Now, her biography simply has links to her Instagram and TikTok, though her handle is still @NaomiWWE. There is no word on when or if Naomi could return to WWE programming. Opinion: This whole situation is such a mess and I have a bad feeling that it is going to turn into a huge logjam as neither side is interested in waiting. Banks and Naomi leaving might not have been the best decision, but WWE burying them on national TV wasn’t exactly great ..

Netflix Cancels GLOW’s Final Season Over Coronavirus

So close yet so far. Wrestling is the most unique form of entertainment in the world as it is some weird mixture of action, drama, comedy, romance and theater, plus the athletic side of it adding an entirely different layer. That makes for some of the most fascinating viewing to be found anywhere, but also an incredibly interesting industry for outsiders to look into. That was the case with a pretty big show, but now it has been cut off just before its ending. Back in 2017, GLOW debuted on Netflix and offered a different look at the world of wrestling. This was a very unique take on the industry as GLOW was based on the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling series from the 1980s, which was more of a show about wrestling than a wrestling show. The Netflix series has been well received and has even won a few Emmy Awards, but the series is not going to have the best finale. According to Deadline.com, Netflix has decided to cancel the series, meaning there will be no fourth and final season. The ..

But the WWE has been working on their women’s division for years, and we’ve already been leading up to having the <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/girls/" title="girls">girls</a></strong> main event TV shows.</p> <p>A few years ago, WWE made the decision to stop referring to the women wrestlers as “divas.” When I was in WWE the first go-round, the women were having bikini pillow fights and it was all about the look of the girl. Now it’s all about their in-ring ability. <em>GLOW</em> is helping bring more attention to wrestling and women’s wrestling in particular. I think people who watch WWE will watch <em>GLOW</em> and vice-versa.</p> </blockquote><p>GLOW is Netflix’s latest show which is based on a promotion of the same name, called Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. The show was released via <a title="Netflix" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Netflix</a> on June 23, 2017.</p>

X-Pac 1, 2, 360 Recap – The Ball’s Appearance on RAW, Joe vs. Lesnar, X-Pac Almost Stars on GLOW? More!

<p>X-Pac opens today’s show speaking about Cody Rhodes’ recent ROH World Title victory. He says that he’s very proud of Rhodes, who took a huge risk and left the safe surroundings of WWE in order to bet on himself. It’s safe to say that Rhodes’ bet is paying off right now. X-Pac says that he <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/heard/" title="heard">heard</a></strong> a lot of friends criticize Rhodes’ decision, some even calling him a mark for <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/doing/" title="doing">doing</a></strong> this, but X-Pac was <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/happy/" title="happy">happy</a></strong> to see Rhodes follow his heart.</p><p></p><p>X-Pac mentions that he was lucky enough to be backstage at RAW this week in Los Angeles, where a lot of interesting things were happening. He was able to sit and talk with guest star Josh Duhamel for a while, and he was able to experience the backstage reaction during the MizTV segment featuring LaVar Ball and his two sons.</p><p>He says that WWE should have known that this was going to be a disaster and they very well might have, but they obviously didn’t care. He says that LaVar Ball went off script nearly right from the start and was jumping all over everyone else’s lines. In spite of all that, and even after the youngest son used derogatory language, McMahon was still urging cameramen to follow them to the backstage area and through Gorilla, because he didn’t want the cameras to miss anything good.</p>
