That’s Big: Update On Cody Rhodes’ Recovery From Surgery

He’s working on it. Earlier this year, Cody Rhodes made a surprise return to WWE after a years long absence, defeating Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 38. Unfortunately, Rhodes tore his pectoral muscle during training about two months later, resulting in him needing surgery and putting him on the shelf. Rhodes is still recovering, but now we know a bit more about his recovery process. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Numbers Don’t Lie: Detailed Look At The Business Side Of WWE Survivor Series 2022 According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Rhodes is “doing well” in recovery and is working with “top level trainers” as he tries to get healthy again.

The Numbers Don’t Lie: Detailed Look At The Business Side Of WWE Survivor Series 2022

The numbers don’t lie. Last weekend, WWE presented its annual Survivor Series event, though this year’s edition was more than a little different. Instead of the usual elimination matches, WWE centered the show around a pair of WarGames matches, with the men and women both getting a chance. That is quite the twist, but things seem to have gone well, at least based on the numbers. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: He Wants Next: 25 Year Old NXT Phenom Wants To Face Roman Reigns, Many More The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has revealed some of the business numbers for this year’s Survivor Series.

WATCH: Triple H Discusses The Future Of Hell In A Cell Match

Well, maybe? WWE is in the middle of a series of huge changes and there is nothing to suggest that those changes are ending anytime soon. Some of the changes involve the company premium live events calendar changing, but very little has been confirmed so far. Now we are hearing a little bit more about this from one of the most powerful people in wrestling today. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Do It Again: Title Change Takes Place At WWE Survivor Series WWE held a press conference after this weekend’s Survivor Series event, featuring WWE Head Of Creative Triple H answering questions. Triple H spoke about the idea of themed events, such as Money In The Bank, Elimination Chamber and Hell In A Cell continuing. Regarding Hell In A Cell, Triple H said that it was the match that made sense as a challenge match to end a feud, such as how he and Mick Foley faced off at No Way Out 2000. However, Triple H did not give a definitive answer on the show and/or match’s fate, only saying that it was “up in t..

Do It Again: Title Change Takes Place At WWE Survivor Series

Hand it over. Winning a title can be the kind of change that makes all the difference in the world for a wrestler’s career. A wrestler becoming a champion for the first time often suggests that the promotion is moving them up to the next level and that there is some hope for your future. That being said, winning a title for the second time is an even more positive sign and that was the case this weekend. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Out For A Bit: WWE Star Likely Written Off Television With Severe Injuries This weekend at Survivor Series 2022, Austin Theory defeated Bobby Lashley and reigning champion Seth Rollins to become the United States Champion for the second time. Theory held the title for about two and a half months earlier this years, with Lashley and then Rollins taking it.

Check out the title match and what Theory had to say after winning: [This post contains..

WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Boss Triple H Sees Monday Night Raw Star As “Reclamation Project”

He’s worth the effort. It takes talent to make it to the WWE and everyone there has earned their way to the company. There are different ways to make it and some take more time than others, but it means something to be on the roster. Occasionally a wrestler will lose some of their prestige and have to be built back up in one way or another, and that seems to be happening with a former World Champion. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Double Threat: New United States Title Grudge Match Set For WWE Survivor Series According to WrestleVotes by way of GiveMeSports, Triple H sees Finn Balor almost as a “reclamation project”. After seeing what has happened to Balor in recent years, Triple H is reportedly looking to build Balor back up. Triple H has pushed Balor multiple times in NXT as the two are said to have a positive relationship behind the scenes. Balor is currently scheduled to face AJ Styles on Saturday at Survivor Series. Balor has had an up and down run in WWE. Check out what he has done in..

Double Threat: New United States Title Grudge Match Set For WWE Survivor Series

All at once. There are several ways to present a title match as there are often multiple people who want to be champion. That can make for some interesting possibilities as you don’t know what you might be seeing in any given title defense. Sometimes the best solution is to put multiple challengers into the same title shot, which is what we will be seeing later this week. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Nine In, One Out: Update On WWE’s Plans For Survivor Series (Contains Likely Spoilers) Over the last several weeks, Bobby Lashley and Austin Theory have been chasing Seth Rollins and the United States Title.

WRESTLING RUMORS: WWE Fans Go Detective On Possible WarGames Shocker

They might be on to something. We are less than a week away from WWE Survivor Series, which will feature a pair of WarGames matches. There will be a men’s and women’s edition of the match, with the former having a completely set lineup. The women’s match still has a single spot to be filled and it is not clear who will take the slot. However, some fans certainly have a theory. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: WATCH: Surprise Name Completes Men’s WarGames Match On SmackDown As of Monday morning, the lineup for the women’s WarGames match features Damage Ctrl, Rhea Ripley and Nikki Cross facing Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Mia Yim and another wrestler to be named. This is the lineup featured on the graphic for the match, with a hooded figure filling in the last spot. The image shows blue hair sticking out of the hood, leading to fan speculation that Sasha Banks will be returning for WarGames. This is not confirmed and is only a fan theory at the moment. Banks has been away from WWE since Ma..

Check out the Bloodline, plus WarGames of the past: [This post contains video, click to play] [T..

He Seems Impressed: Seth Rollins’ High Praise For Famous Becky Lynch Moment

That is some high praise. There are moments in wrestling where you can tell that something big has changed. It might be a win, it might be a speech or it might be something else entirely, but something has happened that is going to shake things up in wrestling. That was the case with a special moment back in 2018, and now a WWE star has some high praise for what happened. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Add It Up: New Grudge Match Set For WWE Survivor Series On the November 12, 2018 Monday Night Raw, SmackDown’s Becky Lynch invaded the show to attack Monday Night Raw’s Ronda Rousey, setting up their Survivor Series match six days later.

Lynch, with her nose bleeding, posed in the crowd to end the show. A fan posted the image to Twitter, causing Lynch’s husband Seth Rollins to describe Lynch as “a ..

WATCH: Mickie James And Trish Stratus Reunite For Cool Moment

They’re legends. Over the years, certain wrestlers reach a level like few others. Certain stars become some of the top names in all of wrestling and there are very few wrestlers who are able to come close to matching them. It can mean something when those wrestlers are able to get together outside of the ring, even after their careers are over. Now two more have done just that. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Add It Up: New Grudge Match Set For WWE Survivor Series WWE Hall Of Famer Trish Stratus and legend Mickie James have posted a video to their Instagrams showing them heading to MCM Comic Con in Birmingham, England. The two were riding in the back of a car and invited fans to come see them while talking about their history together.

Check out the legends getting back together: [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: This is the kind of thing that might h..

Add It Up: New Grudge Match Set For WWE Survivor Series

There’s one more on the list. We are less than two weeks away from WWE Survivor Series and that means it is time to start getting the card together. There is still plenty of room on the show for more matches, several of which have already been set up over the last few months. That just leaves the matches to be made official, one of which was covered this week. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Oh No: Kevin Owens Injured At WWE Live Event This week on Monday Night Raw, a new match was announced for Survivor Series, as AJ Styles challenged Finn Balor to meet him one on one. Balor accepted the match later in the show and it was officially confirmed. This comes after the two of them have been feuding as part of the OC vs. Judgment Day feud. There is no word on if the rest of the teams will be involved as well. He seems mad. Check out Styles’ challenge and Balor’s match: [This post contains video, click to play] [This post contains video, click to play] Opinion: This is a different way to go t..

First WarGames Match Announced For WWE Survivor Series

Lock them in. We are coming up on Survivor Series and this year’s edition is going to be a little bit different. For the first time, we are going to be seeing WarGames make its main roster debut in WWE. There will be two matches on the show with a men’s and women’s match taking place on the show. Now we have a good idea of what one of the matches is going to be. This week on Monday Night Raw, WWE announced most of the women’s WarGames match. Bianca Belair, Asuka and Alexa Bliss challenged Damage Ctrl to compete in the match, with Damage Ctrl accepting. Nikki Cross became the fourth member of Team Damage Ctrl, with one more member to go. Belair and company still have two teammates to be announced. Survivor Series takes place on Saturday November 26. Opinion: As an old WCW fan, it feels so strange to see WarGames in WWE but now we are several major steps towards it actually happening. Just having the matches announced was one thing but now we are seeing the participants getting ready t..

WATCH: Monday Night Raw Star Not Happy With Survivor Series Match

Can you blame her? We are less than a week removed from WWE Survivor Series and the show did not seem to inspire the fans as much as it has in previous years. The main story of the show was the battle between Monday Night Raw and SmackDown for brand supremacy. This included a pair of Survivor Series matches, and one participant does not seem thrilled with how her match was set up. In a recent interview with SportsKeeda, Monday Night Raw’s Rhea Ripley said that she was disappointed that Nikki Ash, her regular tag team partner, was not part of this year’s Raw Survivor Series team. Ripley said that the two of them were both disappointed and that she found it a little bit disrespectful for Ash to not be included. Ash and Ripley lost the Women’s Tag Team Titles to Carmella and Queen Zelina this week on Monday Night Raw. She’s not wrong on a lot of this. Check out the interview, how they work together, plus Ash on her own and how the Survivor Series match went: [This post contains video, ..
