A slew of names got released from NXT yesterday — here’s the latest updated list. (PWI)
- Wendy Choo
- Adriana Rizzo
- Zena Sterling
- Anya Rune
- Braxton Cole
- Gary Wilson
- Ellen Akesson
- Marcus Brown
- PJ Vasa
Wendy (real name Karen Yu, a/k/a Karen Q and Mei Ying) was horribly misused in her 2019-26 WWE run, only winning the EVOLVE Women’s Title that entire time. Rizzo also surprises me because she just came back from a year long layoff due to a torn ACL and had a dark match with Myka Lockwood. I hope that all of them do well in their post-WWE career.
Here’s the current card for SmackDown next Friday. (WWE)
- Undisputed WWE Championship Match: CM Punk vs. Sami Zayn
- WWE Women’s Championship Match: Chelsea Green vs. Nia Jax
- AAA World Tag Team Championship Match: War Raiders vs. R-Truth & Damian Priest
- Paige vs. Nikki Bella
Apparently CMLL really wants us to know Tessa Blanchard is NOT with MLW. Translated: “In regards to Tessa Blanchard’s participation in Major League Wrestling, CMLL informs that the deal between the parties is limited exclusively to her participation on the September 12 tapings, without any additional dates or championship challenges. Because of this, there is no deal between Tessa Blanchard, MLW, and CMLL besides this booking.”
Joe Hendry is releasing an album called “Beyond Belief” on October 5th.
Rusev has been off WWE TV due to the fact he went into concussion protocol and then came down with an undisclosed illness. (FF)
Magic City is doing a merchandise collab with WWE. If I have to explain what Magic City is to you, you’re too young to be reading this website, close the tab and go somewhere else. Funny how we still have to censor Raw on Netflix though.
AEW got an extension on Ryan Nemeth’s lawsuit because they believe he’s avoiding service.
