Rousey is being booked as a babyface, on the other hand her bitterness against the fans for turning on her throughout her final run resulted in her to return again all through as a heel. Her art work on SmackDown final week is how they would really like her to be going forward.
I don’t know if she thinks she’s working, or if she actually is angry that fans boo her on the other hand she’s gotta get better from that.
Regarding Tony Khan’s surprise debut for Wednesday’s Dynamite, Fightful Select’s assets on the AEW roster don’t know who it is on the other hand expect or now not it is Keith Lee.

It was once not, even supposing he signed there as briefly for the reason that time allowed. (1/1)
Drew McIntyre is being stored robust for a feud with Roman Reigns after WrestleMania, consistent with Meltzer.
It wasn’t right kind after WrestleMania. It was once six months after. It’s subjective on the other hand the feud after WrestleMania make me think something in no time after WrestleMania. (0/1)
Marty “Boogeyman” Wright posted a video of him signing a WWE contract on social media. It does not show what type of deal it was once.
Maximum unquestionably some type of legends deal.

WrestleVotes says the Shane McMahon have compatibility WWE had planned for WrestleMania 38 was once in a top spot, and WWE is now looking for a “primary attraction” have compatibility to modify it.
I nevertheless need to pay attention the full story. Any individual had to had been introduced who was once spherical at the time and ready to talk all about it.
Moreover they are saying all the WrestleMania card continues to be in flux just a couple months out from showtime.
Now and again Manias seem set in stone and other years completely in flux.

Ringside Knowledge is now claiming that Kurt Viewpoint was once on no account throughout the plans for WrestleMania and the three-week thought he mentioned prior to now was once just a pitch, and now not the rest that was once ever approved by the use of Vince McMahon.
I am questioning what that plan was once.

WWE and their restricted words. Despite the fact that that may be loosening.

It was once bullshit is what it was once. And then that program resulted in a broken neck. So shitty all through.
WWE’s unused pitch for Kurt Viewpoint would have noticed him involved throughout the RK-Bro/Alpha Academy feud. Fightful Select says Monday’s Educational Downside would’ve been known as the “3 I’s Downside,” and Viewpoint would have served as specific customer referee for a have compatibility at Elimination Chamber.
That can have worked since he has the Olympian connection with Gable and history in NXT with Riddle (referring the principle FIGHT PIT).
WWE was once trying out a brand spanking new production technique throughout this week’s NXT, in line with PW Insider. They might a cameraperson throughout the ring while one of the crucial a very powerful suits have been happening.
I might imagine that can be distracting to the wrestlers.
Jackass’ Steve-O printed he was once at Royal Rumble for Johnny Knoxville’s glance, on the other hand had to pass away when he tested certain for COVID.
That’s a shame. Fanatics would have favored that.
Protecting the Shane McMahon/Royal Rumble rumor streak alive, Fightful reviews Randy Orton gave Shane a “verbal cue” he wouldn’t be going out when their get right of entry to numbers got switched. That cue? Orton was once “if truth be told rolling on the ground, laughing his ass off.”
I love the existing stories we get about Randy.

Any individual who witnessed the in the back of the scenes chaos involving Shane McMahon at Royal Rumble 2022 knowledgeable Mat Men’s Andrew Zarian that “there’s a bigger story to this, and in all probability someday it’ll come out.”
Very so much having a look forward to it.

Why wouldn’t they be? She’s a celeb.

I suggest the New Day are great together, on the other hand Massive E as a singles star could have been specific too.
Xavier Woods has been removed from WWE’s inactive checklist, consistent with Fightful. More than likely that implies he’s cleared to return from hurt.
He didn’t attempt towards for any other month, that that doesn’t necessarily suggest he wasn’t cleared.
Without reference to some rumors to the contrary, the WON reviews TJ “Tyson Kidd” Wilson continues to be with WWE. He’s taken some day off and lost sight of Royal Rumble “to help heal up his neck,” on the other hand remains “on good words with WWE.”
He’s too valuable as a producer to let him pass if they can the least bit avoid it.
In step with PW Insider, WWE knowledgeable their body of workers that a couple of ads for WrestleMania will air throughout the Super Bowl on Sunday. This will be WWE’s first Super Bowl ad since 1999.
