WWE Star Wrestled On Torn ACL Without WWE’s Knowledge

He deserves some praise. A surprise return is one of the best things that you can see on a wrestling show as it not only offers a fun moment but it can open up a lot of doors. It might even be the return of a lower level star but someone coming back is the kind of thing that almost always works. It was the case again this week and now we know a bit more about the returning star. Riddick Moss made his surprise return to WWE TV this week after more than a year away due to a knee injury. According to Fightful Select, Moss wrestled some matches last year with a torn ACL. WWE was said to be “shocked and impressed” by the news as Moss’ injury was so bad. Moss has also been moved to SmackDown from Monday Night Raw as WWE felt it would not matter since the Draft will be shaking up everything again early next month. Moss’ return could change some things. Check out how his return went and who is back: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [Thi..

WATCH: WWE Star Makes Return After Year Long Absence

Welcome home. With so many stars on the WWE roster, it can be hard to find something for all of them to do. WWE has a lot of television time available, but there are only so many places to put everyone. It can be even more frustrating when someone shows up and then disappears just as quickly. That was the case with a Monday Night Raw star, but he seems to have found a new home. Riddick Moss returned to WWE television this week, appearing on SmackDown as Happy Corbin’s new associate. Corbin brought out Kevin Owens to be the guest on the first edition of his Happy Talk talk show, with Moss attacking Owens during his entrance. Moss has not been seen for over an entire year, last appearing on Raw Underground in 2020. He has been out of action with a torn ACL, but worked a dark match before last week’s SmackDown. You might need a refresher. Check out Moss’ return and his time in WWE: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contai..

Vince McMahon May Have Given Up On A Popular Monday Night Raw Star

That’s a pretty negative endorsement. Whether you are a fan of his or not, there is no denying that Vince McMahon is the ultimate power in all of professional wrestling. Whatever he decides is going to take place is what is going to take place and he can make or break a career in the blink of an eye. That might be the case at the moment, and there are going to be some unhappy fans. If there is one thing that NXT has accomplished in WWE, it is bringing in all kinds of new talent to the company. There have been so many big names and great wrestlers who have been brought into the company and those names are making their way up to the main roster. That being said, there is so much talent that not everyone is going to get a huge push, and we might know who falls into that weaker category. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, McMahon has given up on Ricochet, based on Ricochet losing to Riddick Moss on Monday Night Raw. There was no specific reason given for McMahon giving up, though it ..
