OUCH: NXT Star Reveals Separated Shoulder, Out Of Action
It could be a bit. There are all kinds of injuries in wrestling and unfortunately some of them are a lot worse than others. You never know when you are going to see someone get hurt and they can happen in the blink of an eye, even right in the middle of a match. That seems to be the case again and now it very well may be something that keeps a star on the shelf for the time being. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Plans To Return SmackDown Star To Previous Gimmick Last week on NXT, Gigi Dolin defeated Jacy Jayne in a grudge match after the two split up as Toxic Attraction. This week, Jayne appeared with her arm in a sling and revealed that she had suffered a separated shoulder early in the match. There is nothing to suggest that the injury is a storyline and there is no word on when Jayne will be medically cleared to return to the ring. Jayne is a star when she is around.

WATCH: Rey Mysterio Wrestles On Late Late Show
It’s a Hall Of Fame thing. Wrestling has a history of working with celebrities and it has been a mixed bag over the years. There are several celebrities who are there for the sake of promoting their latest project and nothing more, while there are occasionally celebrities there for their love of wrestling (among other things). The latter was the case this week and a WWE legend got involved as a result. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Tag Team Splits On NXT In Mid-Match Betrayal Bad Bunny, who has worked with WWE multiple times in the past and is set to host this year’s Backlash, was a guest on the Late Late Show this week. During the interview, wrestling was brought up, resulting in Bunny bringing out Rey Mysterio. Host James Corden then faced Mysterio in a match, where he was quickly defeated. Mysterio is set to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame later this month. Kind of one sided. Check out the match (the wrestling portion begins at around 11:00), plus Bunny and Mysterio in WWE:..

WATCH: Tag Team Splits On NXT In Mid-Match Betrayal
They’re done. Tag teams have a strange history in WWE as they often feel like they are put together for the sake of being split up. This can cause some rather abrupt endings for teams, as they seemingly go from happy to split in a matter of days. Something similar has happened again in NXT as a team that only started having troubles a few weeks ago have now split up. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: BREAKING: WWE Announces Newest Inductee Into Hall Of Fame Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley split up this week on NXT when Paxley turned on Nile during a match. The two were involved in a #1 contenders triple threat match when Paxley refused to accept Nile’s tag and then attacked her. This comes after a few weeks of taunting from Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre, who have been saying that the two are not a real team. The two had been regularly teaming together since August 2022. They have a history together. Check out the split, plus the two in happier times: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post..

A Trust Issue: How John Cena Earned Backstage Heat For Violating Trust
It would make people mad. There have been a lot of rivalries over the years in WWE and some of them have gone on for a very long time. Those stories are often the ones that are the most remembered, as individual parts will stick out in fans’ minds more than anything else. Now we are hearing more about one such incident, which turned out to be quite the ordeal backstage. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: She’s Gone: WWE Star Reportedly Leaves Company, Return To The Ring Set The most recent episode of A&E’s Rivals series focused on the Rock vs. John Cena feud and included a section on Cena calling out the Rock for having his promo written on his arm. This was described as creating a “disconnect” between the two of them. Natalya also spoke about the incident, saying that she felt real tension backstage between Cena and Rock, saying the two men couldn’t even be in the same room. Cena and Rock would split their two match WrestleMania series at WrestleMania 28 and 29. The two of them did have chemis..

WRESTLING RUMORS: Possible Sign That Naomi Is Done With WWE
That’s a telling sign. Last May, Naomi and Sasha Banks both walked out on WWE, while still the reigning WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Banks, now known as Mercedes Mone, has since resurfaced in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Naomi however has not been seen in a wrestling capacity since the walk out. Now a new development is suggesting that she is no longer part of WWE whatsoever. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They’re Out? WWE Expected To Split Up NXT Tag Team WrestleCon, the wrestling fan convention held over WrestleMania weekend, has announced that Naomi, under her real name of Trinity Fatu, will be a guest at the convention. WWE contracted wrestlers are rarely allowed to do outside appearances such as this, which would suggest that Naomi is no longer under contract to WWE, or will not be when the convention takes place. This is to be considered speculation as there is NO report that she has officially left WWE. https://twitter.com/wrestlecon/status/1631648476743315457 Naomi was a star while ..

He’s Managing: Wrestling Legend Reportedly Negotiating Authors Of Pain’s Possible WWE Return
It’s a different job. Managers have been around wrestling for decades and they have long since served an important purpose. A manager often serves as a wrestler’s mouthpiece and gets the fans to care about him more than the wrestler can make happen on their own. Occasionally an on-screen manager has some off-screen responsibilities and now a former WWE manager might be helping some old clients. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Could be Worse: Update On Montez Ford’s Health After WWE Elimination Chamber Earlier this year, reports surfaced saying that WWE had an interest in bringing the Authors of Pain back to the company. According to Fightful Select, the team has a strong sense of loyalty to their former manager Paul Ellering, who would actually be negotiating any possible return. Ellering managed the team in NXT but they were split when the team debuted on Monday Night Raw. The team was quite the force.

It Was His Call: More On Baron Corbin/JBL Split, Why The Angle Was Canceled
Pull the plug. There are all kinds of ways to present a storyline in wrestling and some of them are a lot more effective than others. You can tell when something is working, but it can take a little longer to figure out that something is missing. When these things finally hit rock bottom though, it is often time to get rid of them and that is what happened with a recent Monday Night Raw story.

And NEW! Surprise Title Change Takes Place On AEW Dynamite
Hand them over. A title change can mean a lot in the wrestling world as someone else is taking over an important spot in the promotion.

Working On It: Update On WWE’s WrestleMania 39 World Title Plans
Plans change. We are less than two months away from WrestleMania 39 and that means we should be in for quite a few major storyline advancements in the next few weeks. That can range anywhere from the top of the card all the way to the bottom, but either way, you can see the changes taking place rather quickly. Now though, we might not be seeing one of the bigger changes so soon. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Please Don’t Be Bad: WWE Star May Have Suffered An Injury One of the ideas rumored during the Road To WrestleMania 39 was the splitting of the Undisputed WWE Universal Title into two titles, or possibly having a new title introduced.

So much for that. Tag team wrestling has been around for a very long time in wrestling and that will likely be the case again for years to come. There are several teams who have been together for a long time, but at some point they are going to split for one reason or another. Some of these are more violent than others, and that was the case again this week as two wrestlers went their separate ways. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He’s Done?

On The Go: Three WWE Stars Switch Brands
They’re on the move. WWE has enough wrestlers that they have been able to split their talent pool into three unique rosters.

That seems to be the case again as two wrestlers, along with their manager, have moved to a different roster.

WATCH: WWE Star Joins Monday Night Raw Roster After Nine Month Absence
He’s new. WWE has a big enough collection of wrestlers that the company can split them into multiple rosters. That is the kind of wealth of talent that you do not see very often and WWE is mostly consistent with keeping each show’s wrestlers on their own roster. While there are exceptions, it can often mean a lot to have someone move over to the other show. Now it has taken place again, with a bit of a surprise.

Run It Back: WWE Sets Wheels In Motion To Reunite Successful Stable
One more time. Stables have been a major factor in WWE for decades now and they continue to be around in modern times.

Return: Brock Lesnar Returns, Interferes In Main Event On Monday Night Raw
He’s here again. Wrestling is like almost any other form of visual media, in that is it built around stories. The right characters have to be put in the right places and situations to make the fans care.
