Photo Credit: WWE It was just announced via WWE’s social media platforms that the Viper Randy Orton is returning to Monday Night Raw tonight in Orlando, Florida! https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1424780757512474624?s=20 The Legend Killer was written off TV very abruptly near the end of the Thunderdome era, and in very odd fashion. One day he was booked for a money in the bank qualifying match, the next Riddle was competing for him and paying homage where he could. Other than that, no real reasoning was given for Orton’s absence. RKBRO in the Thunderdome As of the time this is being written, we never…

Photo Credit: Sportskeeda It is being reported via multiple sources that the next step in WWE’s women’s evolution is their very own tournament, to crown the true queen of the ring. It is unknown at this time how this tournament will go down in comparison to the many men’s versions that have preceded it, however it could be another breath of fresh air for many superstars of the women’s divisions. https://twitter.com/WrestlingInc/status/1418185909376221186?s=20 A tournament of this magnitude has long been something fans have speculated with the growing number of talented women the WWE has signed or groomed since the PC. Much…
Photo Credit: WWE It has been reported that former women’s champion Naomi has been subtly moved off Monday Night Raw and placed on Friday Night Smackdown. It is being reported via multiple sources that the inside word is this, despite her still being displayed as a Raw star, and representing the red brand last night in the Money in the Bank match. She’ll join a revitalized roster on the blue brand, now that NXT stars Shotzi and Nox, as well as Toni Storm have made the same transition. But also despite not being a main eventer, will leave another hole…
Photo Credit: WWE Vince McMahon’s search for main roster talent after his visit to the PC has it’s first movers. Tonight on Smackdown, it was mentioned just before a break that the Women’s Tag Team Champions Natalya and Tamina would have a new challenge tonight. A challenge that they’ve never seen, and has never appeared on Smackdown. From this, out came Shotzi Blackheart in her tank, but along with Tegan Nox! Nox, who just returned from yet another knee surgery two short days ago on NXT, is a slightly bigger surprise here. Happy to see her get this opportunity. She…
Photo Credit: WWE, AEW On tonight’s return to the road edition of AEW Dynamite, there had been more than one instance where the lights went out abruptly. It was obviously leading to someone showing up, and it turned out to be someone who’s been all over wrestling news as of late… Aleister Black/Tommy End… now known as Malakai Black. https://twitter.com/AEW/status/1412944130813083650?s=20 In his segment, he actually knocked out Arn Anderson and Cody Rhodes with his signature kick, so definitely going after the top straight away. The commentators did refer to the name Tommy End, however explained that the difference in his…
Photo Credit: WWE In a surprising twist to some, the once released WWE Superstar Zelina Vega has returned to Smackdown tonight, being unveiled by Sonya Deville as a part of the upcoming Money in the Bank ladder match. https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1411134098278649859?s=20 Zelina had been released by WWE dating all the way back to last year due to her involvement in outside revenue platforms, which goes against more recent WWE policies. She was also followed by partner Aleister Black, so who knows about his future now. However the interest between the two parties remained at large if an agreement could be made. And…
Photo Credit: WWE In a continuation of the storyline between Mercedes Martinez and the members of Tian Sha, this week’s edition of NXT featured a mixed tag team match. It was Martinez and one time ally Jake Atlas versus Xia Li and Boa, as the curious being known as Mei Ying watched ominously from the ramp. The match that unfolded was very interesting and a solid match, once again pushing the narrative that Martinez has a problem with Mei Ying, as well as the unknown factor surrounding her. However a seemingly normal spot is what is noteworthy tonight. The finish…
Photo Credit: WWE Before getting hopes up, there has not been an influx of new superstars, just instead some things different… and some the same happening on Raw tonight for the women. Coming off the heels of the only pay per view EVER (excluding Evolution) to have more women’s matches than men’s matches, TV time for the women of RAW is up a lot tonight, and it is at least worth raising an eye. Firstly, what stays the same. I believe one problem is that Rhea Ripley has no challengers worthy, so it’ll just be her and Charlotte again. The…
Photo Credit: WWE While knowing Eva Marie was set to return to a WWE arena tonight on Raw, it was only hours before the start of the show that WWE announced that she would be competing in a match against Naomi. A decision that seemed to make sense. Naomi is familiar with Eva and a trusted veteran, however what went down was unexpected. Rumours quickly became certain once word of a “muscle” joining the leader of the #EVAlution. Mercedes Martinez was considered by some, but it was actually NXTUK Superstar Piper Niven entering behind Marie. Who by the way, is…
Photo Credit: WWE Despite multiple rumours and reports from various promoters, it seems as though the wrestling world has not yet seen the last of the monster duo formerly known as The Authors of Pain. All members of the group have taken to social media to strike down the claims that they’ve retired from pro wrestling all together since being released. https://twitter.com/SunnyDhinsa/status/1402792523160973314?s=20 The former NXT and RAW tag team champions were released from the WWE as of September of last year, and have since been completely out of the news, way past their 90 day no compete clause. Reports claim…
