To The Shelf: NXT Star Reveals Torn ACL, Surgery Scheduled For Next Week

February 11, 2023

That’s a serious one. Injuries can take out any wrestler at any time and you never know when you are going to see someone put on the shelf for a good while. The question becomes just how bad the injury is and how long the recovery time is going to be. This time it seems that an NXT star has suffered one of the more severe injuries that they could receive. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Talk To Me: WWE Introduces New Broadcaster With Independent Background NXT’s Amari Miller has announced that she has suffered a torn ACL and will be undergoing surgery next week. While Miller did not list a time frame for her recovery, a torn ACL normally requires nearly a year of recovery. There is no word on when or how she suffered her injury. Miller made her NXT debut in September 2021 and has mainly competed on NXT LVL Up, though she has occasionally wrestled on NXT as well. I have torn my ACL and getting surgery next week Life happens in the CRAZIEST way. Everything happens for a reason and I totally t..

WATCH: Wrestling Legend Makes Surprise Appearance To Help Fellow Boss

January 20, 2023

There’s your cameo. There have been all kinds of wrestlers throughout history and some of them are names who do not make the biggest impact. Some of them make a short term impact and become a bit more infamous than famous, but they are not around all that long. Now one of the more memorable stars from WCW made an appearance in a spot you might not have expected him. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: It’s About That Time: Wrestling Legend Says He Does Not Have Much Time Left In The Ring Ernest “The Cat” Miller made a surprise appearance this week on Impact Wrestling, helping new Director Of Authority Santino Marella set up a six person tag match for later in the night. There is no word on if Miller will be appearing again for Impact Wrestling. Miller was a former WCW Commissioner during WCW’s final years before eventually wrestling and commentating for WWE. After a nearly ten year hiatus, Miller returned to the ring in 2015 and still wrestles occasionally. Miller certainly had some interesting ..

NXT Superstar Amari Miller Reveals She Attempted To End Her Life Last Week

January 18, 2023

Wrestling is an over the top industry that is built around the idea of people doing things that you would never see anyone do otherwise. It might not make sense in the real world but it makes sense here, and that is the kind of thing that has an appeal to fans. At the same time, the wrestlers go through all kinds of things that others go through every day, and now one is talking about a very serious incident. NXT star Amari Miller posted a video to TikTok seemingly revealing that she attempted to end her life one week ago. Miller also posted a message to her TikTok, talking about the struggles of mental health and sharing her story because she wanted people to know they are not alone. Miller debuted in NXT in June 2021 and has been a semi-regular on NXT LVL Up. WWE has not commented on the situation. Here is Miller’s full message, courtesy of SportSKeeda.com: “Everything isn’t what it seems, mental health is hard, we should all speak out even though I know it’s hard, you are loved, f..

NXT LVL Up Results – November 25, 2022

November 28, 2022

NXT LVL Up Date: November 25, 2022 Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Sudu Shah, Byron Saxton It’s Black Friday and that seems to be a rather appropriate term for a night with LVL Up. The show has had its recent bright spots and that is about all you can expect from a short burst of decent. I’m not sure what to expect this week and in this case, that might be a good thing. Let’s get to it. Opening sequence. Xyon Quinn vs. Tank Ledger They fight over wrist control to start before switching off to a test of strength. With that not working, Ledger hiptosses him over but gets sent face first into the middle buckle. Quinn hits him with a hard clothesline, only to get driven hard into the corner. A fall away slam sends Quinn flying for a change but he’s right back with the Death Valley Driver. The running forearm finishes Ledger at 4:54. Result: Xyon Quinn b. Tank Ledger – Running forearm (4:54) Amari Miller says she can get serious against Elektra Lopez ..

REVIEW: Mouse’s Wrestling Adventures: Fright Night: Where The Heck Is Mouse?

October 15, 2022

Welcome to KB’s Old School (and New School) Reviews. I’ve been reviewing wrestling shows for over twelve years now and have reviewed over 6,000 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.

Update On Injured NXT Star After Scary Moment

March 2, 2022

That could have been worse. Injuries are one of the worst things that can happen to a wrestler as their careers can be knocked off course in the blink of an eye. Some of them are built up over time while others happen all at once. What makes matters worse is you might not know how long someone is going to be out or just how bad it is. That was the case again this week but now we know a bit more about what happened. Amari Miller was defeated by Lash Legend during this week’s NXT. Following the match, Miller was stretchered out of the arena during a commercial break in a moment that was not mentioned on the broadcast. Miller has since sent out a tweet, announcing that she suffered a concussion during the match. There is no word on when the injury took place or how long she will be out of action. Opinion: As bad as a concussion is, this could have been worse and thankfully it is nothing more serious. What matters now is getting Miller back in the ring, which could take some time as conc..

NXT Star Stretchered Out Of Arena After Match

March 2, 2022

That is never good to see. Wrestling is a rather dangerous sport as there is always the possibility of an injury. Someone can get hurt at any time and it could put them on the shelf for a very long time. The only thing that can be done after that is hope that things are not going to be too bad and unfortunately that is the case again, as a wrestler seems to have a bad injury. This week’s NXT featured Lash Legend defeating Amari Miller in a match. According to PWInsider.com, Miller was stretchered out during a commercial after the match and was checked by WWE medical. This was not shown or acknowledged on the broadcast. There is no word on what happened to her or how severe her injury may be. Miller has wrestled for NXT since June 2021 and has appeared on both NXT and 205 Live over the last several months. Opinion: Hopefully Miller is ok, as it is not clear what happened or how bad things might be. It is too early to say that Legend caused the issue as this could have been something t..

December 17, 2021

205 Live Date: December 10, 2021 Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Nigel McGuinness, Vic Joseph We’re in a weird place with this show as WWE has actually realized that this show has little to do with the cruiserweight division and hasn’t been live in years. It might actually be time to change things up a bit and that is long overdue. Granted the show has already changed everything but the name, so maybe now it’s time to complete the ordeal. Let’s get to it. Amari Miller vs. Lash Legend Legend shoves her down to start but Miller isn’t impressed. A dropkick staggers Legend but she blocks an armdrag without much effort. There’s an overhead suplex into a nipup as Miller is in trouble early. A release fall away slam sets up a big boot to the chest but Miller avoids a charge in the corner. Miller is back with a springboard Codebreaker into a cradle for two of her own, only to have Legend shrug it off. Something like a torture rack (over Legend’s back instea..

205 Live Date: November 26, 2021 Location: Capitol Wrestling Center, Orlando, Florida Commentators: Nigel McGuinness, Vic Joseph NXT is on its way to WarGames and that means we are on our way to a non-cruiserweight challenging for the Cruiserweight Title. I’m not sure why that should be a surprise, as Roderick Strong hasn’t defended the title in about two months, so the future isn’t exactly bright. At the same time, that has very little to do with this show so let’s get to it. Valentina Feroz vs. Elektra Lopez Legado del Fantasma is here with Lopez. Feroz tries to take her down to start and is blocked with straight power. A hard slap to the face sets up a slam spun into a Rock Bottom and we hit the nerve hold. That’s broken up and Feroz kicks away at the leg, setting up a running hurricanrana. Lopez isn’t having that though and muscles her up into a sitout powerbomb for the pin at 3:50.

A Lot Happened Before And After This Week’s SmackDown

November 7, 2021

It was a busy night. WWE has a lot of programming to offer every single week and it can be quite a bit. Sometimes it is hard to remember everything that is going on, which is not often the best way to go. There is not much of another way around it though, as there are so many wrestlers that sometimes WWE needs to use that much time. This week, they needed even more time than usual. According to Wrestling Inc., there were three non-televised dark matches during this week’s WWE SmackDown taping. Prior to the show, there were two NXT matches, as Johnny Gargano defeated Kyle O’Reilly and Amari Miller defeated Dakota Kai. After the show went off the air, Drew McIntyre and the Viking Raiders defeated the Bloodline. Of the six SmackDown wrestlers, only Jey Uso and Roman Reigns of the Bloodline did not wrestle twice on the night.

Feroz and Cortez go to the mat to start with Feroz’s takedown not having any effect. It’s off to Leon for a very spinning wristdrag and Cortez’s missile dropkick gets two.

You can almost bet on a women’s match, a cruiserweight match and an NXT midcard match. That’s not a bad way to go and the fact that it is done in about half an hour makes it even better. Let’s get to it. Amari Miller vs. Sarray Miller grabs a wristlock to start but Sarray spins her over into one of her own. Sarray pulls it to the mat for a cross armbreaker but Miller fights up. A heck of a clothesline drops Sarray for two and we hit the chinlock. Back up and Miller scores with a spinning kick to the face for two, setting up an STO for the same.

The show still doesn’t mean anything, but now it means something with some slightly more important people. Let’s get to it. Dante Chen vs. Malik Blade Feeling out process to start with Chen snapping off a hiptoss and grabbing an armbar. Some armdrags set up the armbar sequel but Blade is back up with a heck of a dropkick.

BREAKING: WrestleMania 36 WILL NOT Take Place in Tampa Bay

March 16, 2020

WWE has released a statement that WrestleMania 36 will not be taking place at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Florida Government Officials Likely To “Pull The Plug” On WrestleMania

March 15, 2020

That doesn’t sound good. We are just over three weeks away from the scheduled date of WrestleMania 36 but at the moment, things are not looking very positive. There is a real chance that the show will not be taking place, as the worldwide spread of the Coronavirus may cause the show to be canceled. The decision currently lies in WWE’s hands, but that could change in a hurry. This past Thursday, the Tampa, Florida city government announced that they would be making a decision regarding WrestleMania 36, assuming that WWE did not make the decision in the first place. However, WWE has said that they will be continuing on with the show for the time being. That would suggest that the ball is in the government’s court, and they might make a decision in the near future. According to FOX 13 (Tampa), Hillsborough County Commissioner Les Miller said in a Friday interview that if WWE does not change course and cancel the show, the government would have to “pull the plug” and cancel the show them..
