He’ll be there. We are about three weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and the bigger matches have been set up. This includes several title matches, including one involving John Cena challenging Austin Theory for the United States Title. That is going to be a unique kind of match as Cena does not regularly appear for WWE, but now we know a bit more about his WrestleMania schedule.

Impact Wrestling Date: March 9, 2023 Location: Sam’s Town Live, Las Vegas, Nevada Commentators: Tom Hannifan, Matthew Rehwoldt We are on our way to a trio of shows with Sacrifice, Multiverse United and Rebellion, which makes for quite the packed series of builds. That got started last week with a little something for each show getting time, but they are going to have to do it again for the next few weeks. Let’s get to it. Opening recap. Here is Bully Ray to get things going. At No Surrender, Tommy Dreamer used the words “someone like me” (meaning Ray). What did he mean when he said that? Did he mean a two time Hall of Famer or half of the greatest tag team ever? Maybe a two time World Champion? Ray wishes he knew what Dreamer meant, because he threw hot coffee into Dreamer’s face. Dreamer wants a Busted Open match at Sacrifice but there is no way Dreamer is making it there. Cue Santino Marella to call Bully “Bobby Ray” and say that Dreamer will be at Sacrifice. It was only a minor ..
They liked it. There are certain stars who are able to draw in interest to any wrestling program they are on and it can do quite a bit of good for any promotion. Those stars are few and far between but when they are around, they can be quite valuable. WWE had one of them on their main television show this week and his appearance seems to have been a hit. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: How To Start: Gable Steveson Offers Details On His WWE In-Ring Debut John Cena made an advertised appearance this week on Monday Night Raw where he was confronted by United States Champion Austin Theory. The two argued in the ring and a title match was set up for WrestleMania 39. According to Fightful Select, WWE was said to be happy with Cena’s appearance, saying that he added “familiar eyes” to this week’s show. There is no word on when Cena will be appearing on the show next. There is a history here. Check out the confrontation, plus how we got here: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post c..
Together again. The last few years have seen several changes in the rosters for both WWE and AEW. This has included all kinds of releases and signings to the other company, several of which have never gotten their first major change. It can mean a lot for those wrestlers to come back together, which is what happened again recently. This time though it had nothing to do with wrestling. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Mick Foley Wants To Join The Judgment Day (And It’s Great) Former Hit Row teammates Swerve Strickland (AEW), Top Dolla (WWE) and B Fab (WWE) reunited in a music video for the music video for the Monteasy song “Price Went Up”. The group, plus Ashante The Adonis, teamed together in NXT before being called up to the main roster, where they were released just over a month later. Everyone but Strickland was re-signed to WWE last year. It was something different. Check out the video, plus the team in action: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video,..
Fan participation. There are a lot of factors in wrestling, but ultimately, the most important thing is to please the audience. If the fans do not care or are not happy with what they are seeing, they are not likely to keep watching later. One of the best ways is to give the fans a connection to what they are watching, which very well may have been the situation at a recent live event. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: What Could Have Been: How WWE Changed Plans For WrestleMania 39 Title Matches WWE ran a live event in Champaign, Illinois on Saturday night, featuring a United States Title match with Austin Theory defending against Seth Rollins. During the match, Rollins sent Theory outside and grabbed his arms. As per Rollins’ request, a young fan hit Theory, who staggered away as a result. Rollins then high fived the fan and continued with the match, which he went on to lose. This was pretty great. Check out what happened during the match, plus the two in a match elsewhere: [This post contai..
Put up the warning sign. We are less than forty days away from WrestleMania 39 and the card is starting to come together. If a match has not yet been announced, it might be something that you can probably guess from here. That makes for some interesting times on the way to the show, and now we might have an idea of one big angle that could be taking place before then. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Still There: Update On Missing NXT Star’s WWE Status Roman Reigns defeated Sami Zayn to retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at Elimination Chamber. Following the match, Kevin Owens saved Zayn from an attack but did not reunite with him either there, or two nights later on Monday Night Raw.

However, according to PWInsider.com, the Coca Cola Coliseum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada is advertising Owens/Zayn vs. Reigns/Solo Sikoa for a WWE live event on March 4. There is no guarantee that Owens and Zayn will have reunited by..
That’s on tap. We are less than forty days away from WrestleMania 39 and that means the card is really starting to come together. If the matches have not yet been announced, you can probably guess a good few of them, as they have been all but flat out said. This is the culmination of several months of build and now we know just how long one of them has been set in stone. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Lawyer Up: WWE Facing Lawsuit Over Injury At WrestleMania 38 Earlier this week, WWE announced that John Cena will be returning to Monday Night Raw on March 6.

Cena and Theory have a bit of a history. Check out what happened, plus the two in action: [This post conta..
They’re still a thing. Nine months ago, Naomi and Mercedes Mone (then Sasha Banks) walked out on WWE on the same night, vacating their Women’s Tag Team Titles in the process. That is the kind of career altering change that you do not see a wrestler deal with very often, but the two seemed united in what they were doing. Now we will get to see them united again in a very different world. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Maybe Later: How WWE Nixed Plans To Bring Back Finn Balor’s Demon The Bar Rescue Twitter account has sent out a video advertising an upcoming episode. The video includes a clip of Naomi and Mone, though it is not clear if it will be in the advertised February 26 episode. While Naomi has not wrestled since walking out on WWE in May 2022, Mone has gone on to wrestle for New Japan Pro Wrestling, including winning the promotion’s Women’s Title over the weekend. The team was good while it lasted. Check out the ad, plus the team in the ring: [This post contains video, click to play]..
What are they up to? AEW has filed a new trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, looking for “AEW Collision” to be found under entertainment services.

The champion never stops. WWE United States Champion Austin Theory successfully defended his championship at the 2023 Elimination Chamber premium live event. However, it didn’t take long for his next challenger to be known. Following the event, WWE held its post-show press conference, with a number of guests. The first guest was Theory, who announced that he would be issuing an open challenge to anyone for his championship this coming Monday night on Raw. Immediately after that, Edge and Beth Phoenix took the stage and, after answering questions from the media, The Rated R Superstar took the opportunity to answer Theory’s challenge, setting up a match between the two. [This post contains video, click to play] Edge and Phoenix were victorious in their match against The Judgement Day earlier in the evening. Editor’s Opinion: I like this pairing very much. Raw is emanating from Canada this week, so to see Edge have the opportunity to compete for a championship in his home country is..
He’s back. Logan Paul made his return to WWE at the 2023 Elimination Chamber premium live event. He would make his presence known in the closing moments of the Elimination Chamber match for the United States Championship. From WWE.com: Rollins seemed poised to win the match, but Logan Paul appeared and hit a flipping lariat and a stomp on Rollins as revenge for eliminating him from the Royal Rumble match in January. Theory then hit A-Town Down to win the match and retain his title. IT'S LOGAN PAUL!!!!@LoganPaul just cost @WWERollins the #USTitle at #WWEChamber! pic.twitter.com/6xtDawHvnU — WWE (@WWE) February 19, 2023 Paul was last seen at the 2023 Royal Rumble event, where he was a surprise entrant.
