One more time? Retirement is a difficult concept for a lot of wrestlers as they can have trouble walking away for good. While several wrestlers will says they are done for good, they often have the chance to come back for one more match. That can make for some interesting circumstances as you get to see someone make a surprise return. Now a WWE legend is teasing the possibility. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: To Be The Champ: Ric Flair Explains How He Was Fined For Not Taking A Photo For WWE WWE Hall Of Famer Kane was interviewed by PWMania.com and was asked about a potential return to the ring. Kane, 55 years old, said that he will “always leave the door open”.

It’s that time of year. We are less than a month away from WrestleMania 39 and that means it is time to start getting everything ready. While WrestleMania will be the featured event of the weekend, there are other major WWE events taking place. One of them will take place on Saturday before the first night of WrestleMania and now we know a good bit more of the card. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LOOK: MVP Posts Photo With Interesting Collection Of Superstars In Major Tease There were two matches announced for NXT Stand & Deliver during this week’s edition of NXT. First up, Grayson Waller challenged Shawn Michaels to come out of retirement and face him in a match. However, Michaels turned him down and introduced Johnny Gargano, who will face Waller instead. Second, NXT Champion Bron Breakker will defend the title against Carmelo Hayes. The two have been teasing a match for weeks before making it official this week. This match is rumored to have main roster callup implications. It was a busy..
Sights set. There are all kinds of talented wrestlers on the WWE roster but it can be difficult for all of them to find something to do. With that many people, even the amount of television time that WWE has is often not enough. Sometimes those wrestlers have to be grouped together, and that is what a certain manager is teasing again, with quite the array of names. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Let’s Get Rowdy: Update On Ronda Rousey’s WrestleMania 39 Status MVP has posted a photo to his Instagram, showing him backstage with Omos, the Street Profits and NXT’s Carmelo Hayes. The caption says that MVP is “backstage in Boston to talk to some people…” but does not say what they were talking about. This comes amid rumors of Hayes being called up to the main roster and possibly joining the Hurt Business, but those plans were never confirmed.

The tease continues. We are coming up on WrestleMania 39 weekend but there is more going on that weekend than just the two major events. In addition to WrestleMania, NXT presents one of its major events with the annual Stand & Deliver show, a rare moment of taking the show out of the WWE Capitol Wrestling Center. That means they need something big, and now they are teasing something else. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Get Well Soon: Wrestling Legend Reveals Recent Health Issues This week on NXT, Grayson Waller hijacked the show’s feed and called himself the new Main Event, Showstopper and Mr. Stand & Deliver. These are all either Shawn Michaels nicknames or close to them, with Waller inviting Michaels to meet him on the Grayson Waller Effect on the March 8 NXT. Waller and Michaels have been having issues in recent weeks, including Michaels suspending Waller for interrupting Michaels’ post-Vengeance Day media call. There is nothing to suggest that Michaels will be returning to the ring to fa..
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. This week on Monday Night Raw, Lashley’s former associate MVP called Lesnar a coward before challenging Lesnar to face the 7’3 Nigerian Giant Omos at WrestleMania. 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.

To the other side? No matter how talented a wrestler might be, there is always going to be a time when they need some kind of a freshening up. Maybe they need a different look or a different character, but occasionally the right answer is a different direction. The most common version of this is to have a wrestler turn good or bad, and now two WWE stars are teasing such a change. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: Second Generation Star Signs With WWE The main event of this week’s SmackDown saw Madcap Moss fall short in his challenge for Gunther’s Intercontinental Title. Moss had his girlfriend Emma in his corner, with Emma having hyped up his chances earlier in the night. After the match, WWE released a video of Emma and Moss blaming the fans for not supporting them. Emma later tweeted that they “deserve better”, signaling a possible heel turn for the two. After a huge win last week I was honestly a bit disappointed with the crowd reaction last night. We deserve better.. http..
That would be a change. The rise of AEW has changed the way the wrestling world works, as now WWE has another big budget wrestling promotion to deal with on the national stage. In addition, AEW has allowed wrestlers to have another place to go, which has led to some interesting situations. Now a current AEW star seems to be teasing a jump back to WWE after a rather nasty exit. Back in June 2020, FTR left WWE (where they had been known as the Revival), following a six year run with the company. The team has since moved over to AEW, where they are former Tag Team Champions. Dax Harwood has since announced that the team will be sitting out until their AEW contracts expire at the end of April. This week, Harwood posted a new Instagram story, which shows a piece of paper featuring a WWE logo. There is no word on what was on the paper and nothing about FTR’s possible future with WWE has been confirmed or rumored. Dax posted this on his IG story recently.. Is that a WWE contract in the bott..
He would have some sway. Titles are the most important part of most wrestling promotions and it can mean a lot for a wrestler to win them. Several wrestlers have been boosted up above the rest of the roster by becoming a champion and getting to hold a shiny title belt. A title has to have the right design and it can make a big difference when the design is changed. Now a WWE star is teasing bringing back a classic title. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Not A Fan: Former WWE Star Slams Logan Paul, Credits Shawn Michaels For Paul’s Success Earlier this week, Cody Rhodes won the Men’s Royal Rumble match, earning a title shot against Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 39. Rhodes appeared on this week’s edition of the Bump and spoke about his admiration for the classic “Winged Eagle” WWE Title belt. The design was used from 1988 until 1998 with Steve Austin being the last to hold it. When Rhodes win the Intercontinental Title in 2011, he brought back the classic title d..
That could be different. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestler and changing an appearance or character can be a big deal. Occasionally you will see someone get a complete character change, some of which can be quite the boost for a wrestler’s career. WWE is now teasing the possibility of a change, if a new storyline happens to go in the right way. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: It’s A Big One: WWE’s Backstage Reaction To Royal Rumble This week on Monday Night Raw, the Alpha Academy was shown walking in front of the Maximum Male Models backstage. After the Academy was out of sight, Maxine Dupree was seen looking at Otis and saying he was “perfect”. While not confirmed, this may suggest that the two teams will be feuding, or that Otis could be undergoing a gimmick makeover. Otis did not acknowledge or seem to hear what Dupree said. This could be interesting. Check out what happened, plus the two teams in action: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains vide..
There’s more to it. We are in the middle of a huge time of change in WWE and there are likely a lot more changes coming in the near future. This includes changes all the way at the top of the company, as WWE has been teasing a sale in recent weeks. That seemed to be the case earlier this week, but it seems to have been a false alarm. Now we know a bit more about the backstage reaction to what is going on. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Only Room For One: Former WWE Superstar Accused Of Trying To Get Wrestlers Fired Earlier this week, a rumor surfaced saying that WWE had been sold to Saudi Arabia, though the story seems to not be true. Fightful Select has more on the fallout from the rumor, including WWE sources saying no sale to Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has been made “as of yet”. As for the roster, several have said they would walk out if the PIF purchased the company. There are also wrestlers who are worried about Vince McMahon returning to WWE Creative, with some believ..
The best of several worlds. There are all kinds of wrestling promotions throughout the world, from the biggest companies around to some rather small independents and all points in between. Every now and then you get to see these promotions doing something together and now that is the case again, albeit this time there were three major companies recreating something from the past. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: More Evidence WWE Is Teasing A Hurt Business Reunion Earlier this week, New Japan Pro Wrestling held its annual Wrestle Kingdom event, featuring wrestlers from AEW. The event also included the debut of former WWE star Sasha Banks, now known as Mercedes Mone. Current WWE star Bayley accompanied her for the debut, though she did not appear on television. Dax Harwood posted a photo of the four together this week, as compared to the four together at some point in their WWE/NXT career. Harwood captioned the two photos with the phrase “What a life.” What a life. pic.twitte..
The important piece. There have been a lot of stables throughout WWE’s history but most of them follow a fairly standard formula. Most WWE stables are focused around one major star, with other smaller stars supporting them. Without the right balance, the stable is rarely going to work, meaning it has to be put together correctly. It seems a possibly returning stable is working to get the right centerpiece. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: International Incident: WWE Star Loses Title At Major International Event Earlier this week on Monday Night Raw, a backstage segment showed MVP talking to former Hurt Business members Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander. According to Wrestlingnews.co, MVP recently asked Adam Pearce (also in the segment with Benjamin and Alexander) about fellow Hurt Business member Bobby Lashley. There is no word on when or if the Hurt Business could reform. That could make for a heck of a team. Check out the Hurt Business in action: [This post contains video, click to pla..
Comeback? Wrestling is a unique sport as you do not know when someone might wrap up their career for good. On occasion you will see someone return after a long time away from the ring, even for a one off appearance. It can be fascinating to see someone make a comeback after years away from the ring, and now another former star is teasing a possible return to the ring. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: VIDEO: WWE Pays Tribute To 47 Year Old Star On 20th Anniversary Of His Debut During a live signing with K&S Wrestlefest, former Impact Wrestling and WWE star Trinity suggested she could return to wrestling someday. Trinity said that she was “always ready to rumble”, comparing her stunt work to wrestling. She did definitively not say that she would be returning to the ring. Trinity, 51 years old, worked for Impact Wrestling from 2002-2005 and WWE from 2005-2007. She wrestled her most recent match at Impact Wrestling Knockouts Knockdown on September 6, 2013. Trinity made an impact during her time i..
Welcome back? Stables have been a huge part of WWE for decades and that will likely continue to be the case for a long time to come. The idea makes perfect sense as a stable allows several wrestlers to get television time at once while often uniting under a common theme. Now a current WWE star is teasing the return of a stable which did not get the best chance in the company. WWE star Nikki Cross has released a video of herself talking to a series of drawings on a chalkboard. Cross blows bubbles at the pictures and says she’ll make sure the drawings will get what they want for Christmas before wiping them away. The drawing appears to be Cross from her time as part of the Sanity stable. This comes as rumors of Eric Young returning to WWE have been circulating, suggesting that Sanity could reform. However, there is nothing to confirm that the team will be back. She’s a bit out there. Check out Cross’ video and what could be coming back: [This post contains video, click to play] [This..
One more time? There have been a lot of wrestlers coming in and out of WWE over the years, some of whom have had much better success than others. While some might not have done so well, they might have left quite the impression. Those are names who can be very noteworthy themselves, and one of the more noteworthy names might be teasing another WWE run. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: That’s A Lot: Mandy Rose Reportedly Making Eye Popping Numbers On Subscription Site According to Ringside News, Eva Marie may be teasing a return to WWE. This comes after Marie liked a tweet from Sean Ross Sapp talking about former stars making WWE returns. Marie has wrestled for WWE in two different stints, with the most recent coming in 2021, though she was released later in the same year. There is no word on if WWE is interested in bringing Marie back. Marie has done a lot during her time in WWE. Check out what she has done before: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click ..
She’s in too? There have been a lot of returns to WWE in recent months and there is nothing to suggest that they are wrapping up. While a lot of names have been around, it can also lead to some interesting theories about who might be on their way back next. This time, a former WWE talent is teasing a return of her own, which might take you a bit by surprise. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Wrestling Legend On Who Could Take Brock Lesnar In A Bar Fight One of the recent rumored returns to WWE is Chelsea Green, who has been part of Impact Wrestling, where she had teamed with Deonna Purrazzo. After the rumors of Green’s WWE return, Impact Wrestling’s Purrazzo sent out a tweet asking if Green had “room at home for” her, though there is no direct mention of WWE whatsoever. Purrazzo worked for WWE as part of the NXT brand from 2014-2022, as well as Ring Of Honor and on the independent circuit. There is no word on any communication between WWE and Purrazzo so far. Hey @ImChelseaGreen, you go..
Impact Wrestling Date: December 1, 2022 Location: Old Forester’s Paristown Hall, Louisville, Kentucky Commentators: Tom Hannifan, Matthew Rehwoldt We are back to the regular show after last week’s Thanksgiving special. That means we need to start getting ready for whatever the December show will be, plus Hard To Kill. The latter of these shows will likely be headlined by Bully Ray challenging Josh Alexander for the World Title, but we need something else besides that. Let’s get to it. The opening recap looks at Bully Ray teasing being good and then going all evil as he goes after the World Title. Here is Bully Ray, complete with the broken Call Your Shot trophy to get things going. He isn’t sure if these Kentuckians will understand him so he tries to keep it simple. Ray shows up at Bound For Glory, ran the gauntlet, and earned the title shot. He told Josh Alexander that he was coming for him on January 13 and they shook hands, with Alexander accepting the match. The fans chant for A..
Welcome back. With so many wrestlers on the WWE roster, the company is able to split them up into a variety of groups. This includes some stars who need some more work before being presented on the main television shows, leaving them in NXT. It can mean a lot to have a main roster star head back to NXT and two of them did that in the same night this week. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: One More Time: 50 Year Old Former WWE Personality Wants To Return After 9 Year Absence Two former main roster stars made their way to NXT this week. First up, Scrypts made his debut after a few weeks of teasing his debut. Scrypts is the former Reggie/Reginald, who debuted on the main roster in 2022 but having been missing from WWE TV since May. His former persona was not acknowledge on NXT. Second, following the main event, the former T-Bar, now known as Dijak, attacked North American Champion Wes Lee. Dijak is a former North American Champion under the name Dominick Dijakovik. A series of vignettes have aired..
That’s a tease. The AEW roster has grown quite a bit during the company’s three and a half year history. There have been several names to come and go from the locker room and it can mean a lot for a wrestler to get a spot in the company. While there have been several successes, there have been some who can’t seem to get out of the blocks. Now another one of the latter is teasing something. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: AEW’s Saraya Shares Details On Planned Autobiography About Her Drug Addiction Issues AEW’s Andrade El Idolo has posted an image of himself holding his mask with the caption “I just want to say thank you!!!
