That’s something special. There are all kinds of things that need to come together to make a wrestler a success. At or near the top of the list is the ability to talk, as it can make the fans care about you in a way that almost anything in the ring just cannot do. Being able to use the right words help, and now another WWE star is revealing a special privilege that she has when it comes to talking. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Oh No: Former Impact Wrestling Star Arrested For Violating Order of Protection Involving Wife During a new interview with Sports Media with Richard Deitsch, Monday Night Raw star Rhea Ripley revealed that she has some creative freedom with promos. While there are promos where she is required to say certain things to get points across and cannot change much, she has “free range” on backstage segments. Such freedom when it comes to promos are not common in WWE, with only a handful of wrestlers being granted such permission. Ripley is quite the star. Check out her rece..
That’s not good. There are all kinds of wrestlers in the world today, several of whom have been seen in a variety of promotions. It can be interesting to see where someone goes after they have some success in one place, but unfortunately there are times when someone goes through a problem that is more important than wrestling. That appears to be the situation again and now legal issues are included. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Switch? Speculation Over WWE Possibly Dropping WrestleMania Feud At The Last Minute According to the Clarksville (Tennessee), Today, former Impact Wrestling star Crimson, real name Anthony Mayweather, was arrested on March 8 for violating an order of protection. Mayweather sent several texts messages to his wife and called his juvenile son. These actions violate an order stemming from an incident in 2016 when Mayweather was arrested for headbutting his wife. Mayweather was arrested on March 8 and released on bond later in the day. Mayweather wrestled in Impact Wrest..
That’s a big one. We are less than three weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and the show is already starting to come together. There are several matches already set for the show but with two nights to fill, a lot more will need to be done. This can include matches that are not held under your typical rules, and now another one has been added to the card with some of the biggest stipulations WWE has to offer. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Uh Oh? Bray Wyatt Misses Weekend MSG WWE Live Event, Not Around As Much Lately For most of the last year, Edge has been involved in a feud with the Judgment Day, often with only his wife Beth Phoenix helping him. Last month, Finn Balor challenged Edge to a match at WrestleMania and this week, Edge accepted. After saying yes, Edge said that he wanted the match to be inside Hell In A Cell, with Balor accepting. This will be the third Hell In A Cell match in WrestleMania history and the first since WrestleMania 32 in 2016. They have something to live up to. Chec..
It’s a gig. WrestleMania has evolved so much over the years that it is almost nothing like what it was when it first started. The show has gone from little more than a really souped up live event to a stadium filling event that takes place over two nights. Things have gotten so much bigger that it needs someone to keep track of them all, which is what we will have again this year. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Monster Fight: New Match Officially Set For WrestleMania 39 This week on Monday Night Raw, the Miz was announced as the host of WrestleMania 39. The announcement came via the envelope that Miz’s wife Maryse gave him last week. After making the announcement, Miz was attacked by Seth Rollins and left laying. WrestleMania has had a host for the last several years, with names such as Hulk Hogan, Alexa Bliss, Bayley and the New Day serving in the role. It is a tradition. Check out what the hosts have done over the years: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains vid..
Is that a surprise? We are just over five weeks away from WrestleMania 39 and the card has started to come together. There are several matches already announced for the show but there are others that have yet to be confirmed. At the same time, you can probably guess some of what is coming on the card if you pay attention, and now we might know another match coming up. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: On The Road: 53 Year Old Wrestling Legend Details Efforts To Return To The Ring According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rey Mysterio vs. Dominik Mysterio will be taking place at WrestleMania 39. This will be the first time the two have ever faced off in a singles match. Dominik turned on his father last year and joined the Judgment Day. Since then, Dominik has invaded Rey’s home on multiple holidays, as well as interrupting Rey’s Valentine’s Day with his wife Angie. There is no word on which night of WrestleMania the match will take place. There is a history here. Check out how these two ..
It’s the last big stop on the Road To Wrestlemania and for a five match card, four of them are big and the fifth includes some Hall of Famers. This show is pretty much stacked with either big matches or the awesome sounding main event. While the show is called Elimination Chamber, the whole thing is about Roman Reigns defending the World Title against hometown boy Sami Zayn. Let’s get to it. Edge/Beth Phoenix vs. Finn Balor/Rhea Ripley Somehow this is the least important match on the show as Edge’s war against the Judgment Day continues. In this case, he is bringing in the wife to go after Ripley, who is on her way to WrestleMania. This should be a good, long tag match as all four can do well in a spot like this one. That being said, it doesn’t help that this feels like it is only there to set up something at Wrestlemania. I’ll take Judgment Day here, as Ripley pinning Phoenix would make her look like a bigger deal on what could be her path to the main event of the first night of Wre..
That would be a different way to go. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestling story, as wrestlers have various personality types and characters. It can be interesting to see what happens when you put them in different scenarios, especially if it is something personal. Now we might be seeing some very different scenarios from people related to the wrestling industry. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Clean Slate: Backstage Meeting Reportedly Held Over AEW Star’s Past Actions During a recent edition of his To Be The Man podcast, Ric Flair revealed that FOX and Netflix are considering a series built around wrestling housewives, featuring his wife Wendy, Kim Orton, Giovanna Angle and Catalina Hager. There is no word on how far along the talks are, which other wrestling wives might be a part of the cast or where the show might air if it gets picked up. There have been a lot of wrestling marriages over the years. Check out how some of them got started (or almost got started): [This post c..
This is becoming a tradition. There are all kinds of ways to present a wrestling storyline, many of which have been around for decades to continued success. One of the best is to have family members get into trouble with each other, likely setting up a huge match down the line. WWE has been doing that again, and now it seems that they are using various special days to make it work. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: What WWE Has Planned For New Batch Of WrestleMania Parody Movie Trailers Last year on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley have invaded Rey Mysterio’s home, resulting in violence both times. This weekend, on Valentine’s Day, Dominik and Ripley interrupted Rey’s Valentine’s Day dinner with his wife Angie. Dominik and Ripley took over the dinner but Dominik’s credit card was declined, leaving Ripley to pay instead. Rey and Dominik did not get physical this time. It was a busy holiday. Check out what went down, plus the previous holiday inv..
It was a last second situation. The Royal Rumble is one of the most unique WWE events of the year and will feature more wrestlers than any other show of the year. With two Royal Rumble matches on a single night, there are going to be sixty wrestlers spread out over two matches. That can lead to some difficulties in finding enough people, and this year it took until the very last minute. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Ouch: Monday Night Raw Star Injured During Royal Rumble WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T. appeared in the men’s Royal Rumble event this year. He spoke about the match on his Hall Of Fame podcast, where he revealed that he was only told he was participating in the match during the Kickoff Show. Booker T. brought his gear with him and went to the ring cold, without having time to warm up. He joked that he would have won the match if he had time to get ready. Finally, he said that he was sore after the match, with his wife Sharmell having to walk on his back to get it in line again. Boo..
That’s how you change things up. We are officially on the Road To WrestleMania 39 and that means it is time to bring back some of the bigger stars in WWE. What matters most is having the right people in the right place, which can be made easier if seeds have been planted earlier. That is the case with a returning star this weekend, as we might know where all of this is going. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Sami Zayn Turns On Roman Reigns At Royal Rumble During the men’s Royal Rumble, Edge returned and continued his feud with the Judgment Day. The team ultimately eliminated him though and Edge brawled with the up the aisle. Eventually Rhea Ripley appeared for a showdown with Edge, who would not hit her. This brought out Edge’s wife Beth Phoenix to go after Ripley with a spear. The incident comes after rumors of a mixed tag match at Elimination Chamber next month. This could be big. Check out what happened, plus Edge and Phoenix teaming together: [This post contains video, click to pl..
That’s a step forward. Wrestlers have to deal with a lot of issues during their careers, but some of those problems do not go away once they retire from the ring. Several health issues can continue, including some that might happen to anyone at any time. Now a wrestling legend is dealing with some serious health problems, but things might be looking a bit better. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Another Happy Return? Controversial WWE Star Discussed For Possible Royal Rumble Return Earlier this month, it was announced that WWE Hall Of Famer Superstar Billy Graham had been hospitalized due to an infection, which had caused his heart to start.

He will also continue IV antibiotics for “a long time”. There is no word on how long Graham will be in the new facility. Graham was a heck of a star. Check out some o..
That’s a big upgrade. Wrestlers have rather physical jobs and there is almost no way to prevent some kind of wear and tear on their bodies over the years. At the same time, there are other things that can make their health situations worse after they leave the ring. This gets worse as they get up there in years, but this time we are seeing some better news after a string of bad. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Plans Two Huge WrestleMania 39 Matches Earlier this month, WWE Hall Of Famer Superstar Billy Graham’s wife Valerie announced that he had been put in the ICU (intensive care unit) on a breathing tube after going into cardiac arrest. In a new update, Valerie has announced that Billy is no longer in the ICU as his heart rate and blood pressure are strong enough to be moved to the PCU (progressive care unit). Billy, 79, was initially hospitalized due to an infection in his ear which spread to the bones in his ear. Graham is a legend. Check out some of his time in wres..
That’s better. There are all kinds of issues that can take place during the course of a wrestler’s career. Any wrestler can get hurt at any time and it can cause issues for the rest of their lives. On top of that, there are also issues that have nothing to do with the ring. Now a legend is going through one of the latter problems, but things seem to be looking up a bit. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: It’s That Time: Several Names Possible For WWE Royal Rumble As announced by his wife on Facebook, WWE Hall Of Famer Superstar Billy Graham, 79, had an infection in his ears that spread to the bones in his ears. As a result, Graham “coded” and had to be brought back to life.

At the same time, Graham’s kidney functions are down due to the coding. There is no word on when he could be released from the hospital. Graham is one of the m..
Maybe? There are a lot of moving pieces in WWE at the moment and it can be difficult to keep track of what is going on from time to time. It can be made even more difficult with WWE changing plans so often, as you never know what kind of things you will wind up seeing compared to the original plans. That seems to have happened again, possibly with a pair of upcoming shows. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: No More: Wrestling Couple Announces Official Separation According to Fightful Select, as of November, WWE’s plans for Edge called for him to face Finn Balor inside Hell In A Cell at the Royal Rumble. In addition, Edge and his wife Beth Phoenix were planned to face Balor and Rhea Ripley at Elimination Chamber. However, the limited dates remaining on Edge’s contract may have caused some issues and none of the matches were ever officially announced. Balor and the Judgment Day became #1 contenders to the Tag Team Titles this week on Monday Night Raw and there is nothing to suggest that Edge will ..
He’s available. The rise of AEW has changed the way the wrestling world works, as there is now another major platform for wrestlers to apply their trade. AEW allows more wrestlers a chance to go out in the ring on national television and that has been missing for a very long time now. More wrestlers are going to use that chance and now there is a major free agent out there who can sign wherever he likes. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Back Again: WWE Star Hypes Upcoming Return To The Ring After 8 Month Absence According to PWInsider.com, former NWA World Champion Nick Aldis is officially a free agent, with his NWA contract expiring at the start of the new year. This comes after Aldis revealed his contract was coming up, resulting in NWA owner Billy Corgan pulling him from his upcoming matches. There is no word on where Aldis may be interested in signing in the future, though he did tweet out a picture of himself with his wife Mickie James and a caption “2023”. 2023… pic.twitter.com/rkrkiKbF..
It might be a bit. With so many talented wrestlers on the AEW roster, it can be difficult for everyone to find television time. At some point, a wrestler is going to be left off of television for one reason or another, some of which can be rather negative. This time a star is missing, but the only thing we know about it is that he does not seem overly bothered by his own absence. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: That Takes Guts: How Brock Lesnar Was Reportedly Called Out To Fight Backstage At WWE Event Earlier this week, a fan on Twitter asked AEW’s Shawn Spears where he has been lately in regards to appearing in AEW.

There is no word on any issues between AEW and Spears. He and his wife Cassie Lee, formerly known as Peyton Royce in WWE, are expecting their first son in the new year. Don’t hold your breath… Not going there anyti..
A holiday tradition? There have been all kinds of wrestling families throughout the years, many of which have become some of the better known names in the industry. You often see multiple generations of the same family, some of whom get to work together at one point or another. That has been the case in WWE over recent years, though now things are going in a negative direction. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Another Run? Former WWE Star Lana Thinks Miro Will Return To WWE Rey Mysterio feuded with Dominik earlier in the year, resulting in Rey moving from Monday Night Raw to SmackDown. The feud has continued on social media though, with Dominik and his girlfriend Rhea Ripley trying to invade Rey’s home on Thanksgiving. Dominik and Ripley attempted to do it again on Christmas Eve, but this time Rey backed them out of their house. Rey’s wife Angie slapped Ripley and then police arrived to arrest Dominik. There is no word on if Dominik will miss television time as a result. There’s a trend here...
That’s a high honor. Over nearly the last two and a half years, there has been no one in WWE close to the level of Roman Reigns. After winning the Universal Title in August 2020, Reigns is climbing the ranks of the longest World Champions in the company’s history. He has become one of the most dominant stars in the company’s history and now he is being acknowledged in another way. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Catch You Later? WWE Star Hints She Might Be Leaving For A Bit A man named Jared Hill has posted a video to TikTok showing he and his new wife walking into their wedding reception. Hill and his wife come into the reception hall as Reigns’ theme music plays, with Hill being handed a late 1990s WWE World Title belt to raise. The bride raises her flowers up at the same time and there is nothing else wrestling related in the video. This is pretty unique. Check out the video, plus what Reigns has been doing lately: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, cli..
