WWE Trying To Erase “This Is Your Life” Segment from Existence

WWE is already trying to forget the “This Is Your Life” segment took place on Monday’s episode of RAW featuring Alexa Bliss and Bayley.

In the YouTube highlights for Monday’s show, WWE only posted part of the segment which shows Bayley walking down to the ring to confront Bliss. The company titled the video segment, “Alexa Bliss takes Bayley on a painful trip down Memory Lane” with no reference at all to “This Is Your Life.” They even deleted Twitter footage that they were posting during the show, trying to forget that it even happened.

The segment drew fierce criticism from fans on social media and even those in the arena tried to hijack it with “delete” chants.

Bischoff on Wrestling Recap w/ Hornswoggle – Run as RAW GM, Release from WWE, Working the Indies, More!

Bischoff welcomes Swoggle (formerly WWE’s Hornswoggle) to the show.

Swoggle informs that he was a fan of wrestling since he was four years old. His height restrictions should have put a damper on his ambition to become a professional wrestler but it didn’t. He also had back surgery as a kid, and the doctor told him he wouldn’t be able to compete in contact sports or use a trampoline.

He didn’t listen to the doctor and continued to pursue his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. At age 17 he started getting trained by Mr. (Ken) Anderson who trained him as a wrestler, not as a midget, which Swoggle really appreciated.

His first wrestling memory is WrestleMania 6, and he was a huge fan of The Ultimate Warrior. He says that Warrior was a superhero to him, and this inspired him to become a wrestler.

Swoggle informs that his first big break came when he was backyard wrestling one day and local recruiters arrived and offered some training and an opportunity to work in a legitimate wrestling ring. This was a huge break for him, and he jumped at the opportunity.

Sasha Banks Fed Up with People Asking About Her Turning Heel

While speaking to The Mask Men Show, Sasha banks was asked if she preferred working as a heel or a babyface character. She responded with the following remarks to the question:

“Either one. Because a lot of people ask me, ‘When are you going to turn heel? When are you going to turn heel?’’ Like, I don’t care because guess what? I’m going to be in the WWE for a very long time so you’re going to see both versions of myself for a while. So people need to shut up because that’s what I’m sick of hearing. ‘When are you gonna turn heel?’ Then once I turn heel, ‘When are you gonna turn babyface?’ You guys just need to shut up and let me do me okay. Why do you want me to turn on Bayley? That’s my best friend. I don’t have a lot of friends so just accept it. Yeah, I play either one very well, so it doesn’t matter. They’re two different versions.”

Another Indication that Hulk Hogan Will Return to WWE

WWE was handing out sample editions of the latest WWE Kids Magazine during the recent European tour. What was most noticeable about the magazines was the inclusion of Hulk Hogan on a double-sided poster with other WWE Legends.

The other side of the posted featured Hogan by himself:

With WWE using Hogan on these posters, it could be an indication that he is headed back to the company. It’s been speculated that once the Gawker sex tape news simmered down, he would be brought back to the company in some capacity. It appears that the company appears to be slowly bringing him back, as he has been featured in advertisements on the WWE Network and they re-added content that features him.

Reason Why Kevin Owens vs. AJ Styles Ended In Count-Out

As seen at the Backlash event last week, AJ Styles’s match against Kevin Owens for the United States Championship ended in a count-out. The reason WWE decided on that finish is because they plan to have the two feud in a series of matches.

The belief is that if Owens got the pinfall victory over Styles, it would have left very little ground for a rematch. Styles winning the match would have meant Owens losing the Championship on back-to-back pay-per-views and that would make him look very weak. WWE has also put money into Owen’s “Face of America” gimmick with merchandise, so him dropping the title this soon wouldn’t make much sense.

WWE was left with two options, ending the match by disqualification or count-out. Creative ultimately decided on the count-out decision.
