He’s back? There are all kinds of ways to present talented wrestlers but not all of them are going to be hits. Occasionally you will see someone go from an idea that works very well to something that just misses and there is little way to predict what is going to happen. That was the case again recently in WWE, but now there is a chance of switching back to what worked before. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s A Fan: Undertaker Endorses His Choice To Defeat Roman Reigns In March 2022, former NXT star Pete Dunne made his full time debut on SmackDown as part of the Brawling Brutes. However, Dunne’s name had been changed to Butch, with his teammates saying that is how they had known him for years. Butch also was now a wild man who would run around the arena and try to fight any opponent he could, unlike his more calm demeanor before the name change. According to WrestleVotes via GiveMeSport, Triple H is planning to return Butch to his former name by the end of the year at the latest. Butch ha..
Still works. We are coming up on WrestleMania weekend and that means it is time for a lot of things to start coming together. This includes the WrestleMania card of course, but also several other pieces that are only starting to be announced. One such thing is the WWE Hall Of Fame, with this year’s class only starting to come together. Now we might have a better idea as to why. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Of Course: 60 Year Old WWE Legend Inducts Himself Into Hall Of Fame, Accuses Miz Of Theft Last week on SmackDown, Rey Mysterio was announced as the first inductee into the WWE Hall Of Fame Class of 2023. While WWE is planning to announce at least one more inductee later this week, this is slower than the company’s usual pace for announcing inductions. According to Fightful Select, the current plan is to have this year’s class be “way smaller” than in previous years. There is no word on how many names will be included in the induction ceremony, which is set for March 31. There is one big..
They’re going. WWE runs several events a year and some of them are among the biggest wrestling cards anywhere. Getting to see one in person is a pretty rare treat as they only come to certain areas. It means a lot to have a show go somewhere else for the first time ever or even in a long time. That is what WWE is now planning to do for the first time in eighteen years. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LOOK: Liv Morgan Appears At New York Knicks Game, Gives Man The Cold Shoulder WWE has announced that this year’s Backlash will take place on May 6 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In addition, Bad Bunny will be serving as the show’s host. This will be the first time that WWE has run a Premium Live Event in Puerto Rico since New Year’s Revolution 2005. This also marks a return to the Backlash name, after the last two events were called WrestleMania Backlash. WWE has a history with Puerto Rico.

They might want to hurry up. We are just over four weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and that means things need to come together fast. While the main focus will be on the two night showcase in SoFi Stadium, there are several other events taking place throughout the week. This includes the Hall of Fame induction ceremony the Friday night before WrestleMania, but this year seems a bit different. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s Out There: Former World Champion Officially A Free Agent, Possibly Heading To WWE As of Friday, March 3, WWE has not made any official announcement about this year’s Hall of Fame class.

So far, there have been no names announced for the class. The induction ceremony is scheduled for March 31 at the Crypto.com Center in Los Angeles. There have been some great Hall of Fame moments. Check out some of the more memorable: [This p..
Slight snag. Wrestlers have tried their hands at acting for years now and the connection makes sense. Wrestling is designed around the idea of making fans believe that what they are seeing is real, which has led to wrestlers appearing in the occasional acting project. A prominent WWE wrestler is now trying his hand at it as well, but now things might be slowed down for the time being. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: In The Back: WWE Appears To Spoil Celebrity Appearance At WrestleMania 39 Bray Wyatt returned to WWE last September following a year plus hiatus from the company. During his time away from WWE, Wyatt had started planning for his first film. Jason Baker, a make-up artist and director, as well as Wyatt’s collaborator, was interviewed by Metro, where he talked about the film. The unnamed film will be a horror movie and is described as “Ichi The Killer Meets Xanadu”. However, the film is now on hold as Wyatt is back in WWE, meaning he does not have the time to work on the project. The..
Those are big ones. We are less than forty days away from WrestleMania 39 and the card is starting to come together.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Grayson Waller Hijacks NXT, Calls Out Shawn Michaels To Meet Him Last week on SmackDown, Bray Wyatt challenged the winner of the Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley Elimination Chamber match to meet him.

There are some talented..
That would be a big one. We are less than forty days away from WrestleMania 39 and that means it is time to start putting together the rest of the card. There are already a few matches set for the show but at the same time, there are several spots to be filled. WWE has been teasing some matches and they did just that again this week, with a possible clash of the titans. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Champ Is Back: WWE Announces John Cena’s Return To Monday Night Raw At Elimination Chamber, Brock Lesnar had to get himself disqualified to escape Bobby Lashley’s Hurt Lock.

Lesnar was invited to accept Omos’ challenge next week on Monday Night Raw. There is no word on if WWE is planning to run the match at WrestleMania. This has potential. Check out the challenge, plus the two in action: [This post contains video, click to play..
That’s a big one. NXT is in a unique place as the television show is designed to be entertaining, but the wrestlers are there to develop well enough to be moved up to the main roster. It can be a career making moment for someone to get the call and it often comes after a huge match takes place. Now we might be ready to see what could be a huge promotion for someone. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Price Tag: Here Is What Vince McMahon Wants To Sell WWE Starting at Vengeance Day, Carmelo Hayes has targeted Bron Breakker and the NXT Title. While no match has been confirmed, Breakker has mentioned that it is the match people want to see. According to Wrestling Observer Live, WWE is planning to bring the loser of a Breakker vs. Hayes match up to the main roster. There is no word on if Trick Williams would be called up with Hayes. It’s a special one. Check out what might be coming up from NXT, and some of the best NXT appearances on the main roster: [This post contains video, click to play] ..
They worked well the first time. WWE has been around for a very long time and has a deep history. The company has done a lot of things over the years, with some of them being rather memorable. Those moments are often things that only happened once due to one reason or another, but now WWE might be bringing back some of the most memorable vignettes they have ever done. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: WWE Star Teases Major Turn After SmackDown Goes Off The Air Back in 2005, WrestleMania 21 was held in Los Angeles, California, with a theme of WrestleMania Goes Hollywood.

Miz, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, the Brawling Brutes and the Street Profits are expected to be involved. WrestleMania 39 takes place on April 1 and 2. I’m hearing WWE has begun filming brand new “movie par..
He’s a big one. There are certain wrestlers who get your attention due to nothing more than how they look. Something about them is so striking or imposing that it is impossible to not pay attention to them. That can be rather beneficial to any star and it has been for several over the years. Now one of the more prominent of his generation is looking to return to the ring. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They’re Working On It: Multiple AEW Stars Missing From Television For The Time Being AEW’s Paul Wight, formerly known as the Big Show in WWE, was interviewed by Metro UK and spoke about a planned return to the ring. Wight said that he had been planning to return but had some setbacks due to injuries, including a knee replacement last August.

Wight has only wrestled four times in about a year and a half with AEW, last wrestling in M..
That’s a They’re On It: Update On WWE Planning Major International Showchange. The biggest wrestling story of the year so far has been Vince McMahon ending his retirement after about five months to return to WWE. McMahon’s return has led to several questions, including a lot of people wondering if he will return to his former position in WWE creative. That is still something that remains unclear, but we now know how things went at one of the most important shows of the year. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They’re On It: Update On WWE Planning Major International Show According to Fightful Select, McMahon was not backstage at the Royal Rumble, which was described as the least hectic the event has been in years. This was mainly due to McMahon not being there to make several last minute changes as he was known to do. WWE executives have insisted that McMahon is not working with creative or in talent relations and his sole purpose at the moment is working on the sale of the company. It was a go..
They have a plan. WWE is an international wrestling promotion and that means they need to try and find a way to expand into as may new markets as possible. There are various places around the world that have long since been strongholds in WWE, but the company can always find new people to watch. Now they have their eyes on a new location, including a possible major live event. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They’re On Deck: Several More Details On NXT’s Participation In The Royal Rumble WWE CEO Nick Khan addressed the company running a future live event in India during WWE’s 4th quarter financial earnings call.

WWE has been to India before. Check out some of their ti..
What could have been. The Royal Rumble is one of the most important matches of the year as WWE gets ready for the Road To Wrestlemania. The match can launch someone up to the next level in a way that is all but guaranteed to work. Various wrestlers have done exactly this in recent years, but now we know something else about how WWE changed plans to help someone get a big rub. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: It’s A Hit: Backstage Reaction To Raw XXX Former WWE writer Chris Dunn appeared on the Public Enemies podcast and talked about the planning for the 2021 Women’s Royal Rumble. The original plan for the match called for Charlotte to win, with Bianca Belair being eliminated in the middle. Then WWE writer Ryan Ward said that with the original plan of Edge and Charlotte winning the Royal Rumble, no new stars were being made. As a result, Belair was swapped in as the winner instead of Charlotte. Belair went on to win the SmackDown Women’s Title in the main event of WrestleMania 37 Night One. Th..
There is a logic there. Titles mean quite a bit in wrestling as they can be quite the status symbol. Holding a title means a lot and can go a long way to elevate a wrestler. Every so often you see a wrestler holding more than once title at a time. That is taking place in WWE today, but now we might be seeing someone lose at least half of their gold, but with a good reason. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: WWE Airs Awesome History Of Monday Night Raw Package According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is planning to split the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles, with the Usos losing one set of titles soon.

WWE reportedly discussed the concept earlier this month. The Usos have been on an all time reign. Check out some of their t..
They have a plan. We are a week away from the Royal Rumble and WWE is going to need to do something special for the show.

Planning those out can be difficult but WWE has already started, albeit in a way that you might not be expecting. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Not So Rowdy? Update On Ronda Rousey’s WWE Status According to Fightful Select, while WWE is planning surprises for the Royal Rumble, the company is leaning towards “non-traditional surprises”. It is not entirely clear what that means, but WWE has been going against the idea of having veterans come in for a spot in the Royal Rumble matches. As of Friday night, 15/30 men and 6/30 women have been announced for their respective matches. The Royal Rumble has had some great surprises.
