The Long Move: Interesting Note On WWE’s Change To Premium Live Events

March 9, 2023

It’s a good change. WWE has been around for decades and over the years, the company has built up a variety of traditions. Several of these have come and gone, but there are some things that are almost hard to imagine changing.

WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Bringing Back Classic Event This Year

February 24, 2023

Mark your calendars. On average, WWE runs one Premium Live Event a month and you can usually pencil in a lot of the events. Some shows have been run n the same months for years now and there is nothing to suggest that they will be changing anytime soon. Occasionally you will see something else slip in though and that might be the case with a returning event. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Maybe? Pat McAfee Explains Uncertainty About WWE Future Following Company Sale Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston is reporting that multiple sources have confirmed WWE will present Backlash on May 6 and King & Queen Of The Ring on May 27.

King Of The Ring has been held on and off for several years, though it has only been a stand alone event once since 2002. Queen Of The Ring has never been held, though WWE did hold a Queen’s Crown tournament in 202..

Maybe not? Vince McMahon’s return to WWE has shaken up just about everything in the company.

RKNo: Another Bad Randy Orton Injury Update

November 26, 2022

That’s rather serious. Injuries are one of the worst things that can happen to a wrestler as you never know how bad something is going to be at first. Then comes the waiting, as you have nothing else to do but see just how long someone is going to be out of action. Sometimes that can be for a good while and in worse cases, it can be indefinite. Unfortunately an all time legend is dealing with the latter. Back in May, Randy Orton left WWE TV to deal with a back injury and has not been seen since. According to Fightful Select, Orton underwent some sort of back fusion surgery at some point this year. WWE sources have reportedly said that the company will be lucky to have Orton back after his recovery. However, when he was initially injured, Orton said that he would be back at some point. There is nothing in the way of a guess about when Orton could return to the ring. Orton is amazing when he is able to be in the ring.

One More? Huge Update On Steve Austin Possibly Wrestling For WWE Again

November 15, 2022

He might be worth a look. Back in the late 1990s, Steve Austin took the wrestling world by storm and went on to become an all time legend of the sport. Austin was one of the few names who became known to the masses outside of wrestling and continues to be a legend today. That was clear earlier this year at WrestleMania 38 and it might still be taking place in the future.

November 6, 2022

He has a future. WWE has a lot of valuable resources with one of the most important being the NXT developmental territory. NXT allows WWE to home grow and prepare its next generation of stars, which has worked wonders for them over the years. It means a lot to have someone move up and now WWE seems to have a plan for its next major call up at some point in the future. According to WrestleVotes in an interview with GiveMeSport, WWE is high on NXT’s Grayson Waller and plans to call him up to the main roster. However, he may stay down in NXT for the time being, as WWE is wanting to find a special plan for him, in the vein of Kevin Owens confronting John Cena. There is no word on when Waller, who has been in NXT since September 2021, could be called up. Opinion: I’m not a bit surprised by this as Waller really does seem to have all of the tools to be ready to move up to the main roster. There are wrestlers who have that it factor and Waller would be one of those. I could go for seeing Wa..
