DJ Z will miss several months due to recovering from ruptured discs in his neck. That's really unfortunate. Hopefully the EVOLVE matches didn't make the situation worse.
WWE 2K18 got a downloadable New Moves Pack Tuesday.
John Cena spoke to LADbible. His appeal outside wrestling is only increasing.
Matt Cappotelli's battle with brain cancer was profiled. I'd love to see him get the Warrior Award in 2018. That's a heartbreaking diagnosis.
HOH trainer and wrestler Vik Dalishus suffered a fracture of both his fibula and tibia. He'll have to have multiple surgeries in addition to the one he's already had, and will miss at least six months of action. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help offset medical costs. That's an incredibly unfortunate setback as the company's spotlight increases.
Memphis icon Austin Idol joined Nick Aldis to comment on Aldis' NWA World Championship victory. That was pretty good to continue the rebirth of the brand with traditional elements.
Kenny Omega attacked Chris Jericho at an NJPW press conference to continue the build to their upcoming match.
Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman are set for Raw. I assume we're in for a triple threat at Wrestlemania where Kane can eat the pin.
A Ric Flair robe sold for $27,000. That's how classy the Nature Boy dressed.
The Rock was on "Ellen" recently.
Rockstar Spud is set to start on 205 Live the week of December 17. It's unknown if he'll use that name in WWE. I'm excited to see him, though, and I think he'd be an incentive to check out the upcoming live events.
Braun Strowman talked in the UK. Good words about how it takes a lot of people to make WWE work the way it does.
Ric Flair discussed his favorite matches. I'm a little surprised Triple H didn't make the list.
Titus O'Neill talked to Impact Theory. He's a great public face for WWE.
Raw drew 2.69 million viewers Monday night. It's a good thing Brock's back next week...
Impact's live events manager has left the company after his deal expired without the two sides coming to terms on a new one. The departure was an amicable one. Morffi will continue working for House of Hardcore and Aro Lucha. Impact continues to shrink on-screen and behind-the-scenes as Anthem cuts expenses.
Roman Reigns is not advertised for next week's Raw. It looks as though he'll be taking a week off.
John Cena is advertised for the Christmas episode of Raw before working Raw and Smackdown live events near the end of the year. On the Raw shows, he's set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Intercontinental Championship. On the Smackdown shows, he's in the mix for the WWE Championship.
The former Darren Young is set for WrestlePro on March 9. Is he really not going to have any matches before then??? So much for being "Mr. No Days Off"
For my thoughts on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1. Owens winning the Rumble (then the title) to stick it to Shane works for me! Or hell, have Owens win the title at the Rumble and Zayn win the Rumble match. That could be AMAZING.
1. Owens winning the Rumble (then the title) to stick it to Shane works for me! Or hell, have Owens win the title at the Rumble and Zayn win the Rumble match. That could be AMAZING.
2. An added perk is trying to rehabilitate Anthem and Impact's images after the whole fiasco with the Hardys. The company is in a pretty rough spot right now, and they need every bit of goodwill they can get.
3. I'm sure WWE wasn't happy with the Emmalina situation, and they could have figured they were about to bring up some more women, so they cut two who had been in the company for a while that they didn't have bigger plans for going forward.
4. I expect all three will be public faces in different ways. Shane could be a TV face while Triple H and Stephanie will continue to make appearances as executives in addition to on-screen duties.
5. Those weak, incompetent referees can barely count to ten. What else do you expect?
More wrestling tomorrow.
