OUCH: NXT Star Reveals Separated Shoulder, Out Of Action

March 16, 2023

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.

She might need a restraining order. There are all kinds of stars on the WWE roster, some of whom are among the most unique kinds of stars that you will see in any wrestling promotion. It can be interesting to see those wrestlers come together in a match or some kind of a storyline, but there are other times where it takes a bit of a darker turn, which was the case with two current WWE stars.

Get Your Money Ready: WWE Attempts To Legalize Betting On Matches

March 9, 2023

Money money? One of the biggest criticisms that you will hear of professional wrestling is that the endings are planned out in advance as the entire presentation is fixed. While this is true, the stories are built up in a way to leave fans wondering what they are going to see in a match or story. That can make things all the more interesting, and it could potentially make some money. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: They Could See Him: Backstage WWE Reaction To John Cena’s Monday Night Raw Appearance According to CNBC, WWE is attempting to legalize betting on its matches in Colorado and Michigan. The company has hired accounting firm Ernst & Young to help with the pitch. The firm has helped legalizing betting on the Emmys and Oscars, with WWE claiming that their results are kept secret in the same way. One potential solution would be for WWE to have storylines and results locked in place in advance, with wrestlers only finding out the results just before a match takes place. However, CNBC is a..

That’s a scary ending. There are all kinds of ways to build up sympathy for a wrestler, all of which can be used for a big moment later. Some of them can be more serious than others, but the question becomes what happens after the initial moment.

Down Time: WWE Star Injured Following Backstage Attack

March 7, 2023

It can happen to anyone. You never want to see a wrestler get hurt but it is something that can happen to anyone at any given time. Wrestlers can go from on a roll to having to sit on the sidelines while they heal up. At the same time, you can also have someone get hurt without even noticing it at the same time. That seems to be the case again, as a WWE star is on the injured list. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Gotcha: Surprise Heel Turn Takes Place At AEW Revolution Last week on Monday Night Raw, Candice LeRae defeated Piper Niven in a match. Following the show, Niven attacked LeRae during a backstage interview and laid her out.

She’ll need something new. With so many wrestlers on the AEW roster and so little television time, it can be difficult to find something for everyone to do.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: There He Is: Explanation Behind Eddie Kingston Quitting AEW Revealed The top storyline in the AEW women’s division is a feud between the AEW originals and the division’s newcomers. The originals, comprised of Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter, have been fighting against Saraya and Toni Storm, but their usual friend Rebel has been missing. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rebel is no longer being used in the story. Since Baker and Hayter are being presented as babyfaces, there is no need for them to have a third woman.
