Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I’m Oli Davis, back from my epic saga
to find the true identity of Byron Saxton… a voyage so lengthy and death-defying, it
gave me this sweet tan.

once you’ve finished watching this video first.
While I was away uncovering the secrets of the Universe, all the wrestling news ever
happened on Saturday night.
Not only did Brock Lesnar show up at UFC 226, not only did the Bullet Club implode at New
Japan’s G1 Special, there was also the small matter of The Undertaker making his WWE return.
In lieu of having a Universal Champion for the card, WWE’s big Madison Square Garden
main event on Saturday was the Deadman tagging with Braun Strowman and the guy who retired
him Roman Reigns - awkward - against the rather midcard team of Kevin Owens, Elias and Baron
Corbin.
In honour of The Undertaker rising from the retirement grave for a third time this year,
Madison Square Garden cosplayed as the Deadman for the night, lighting itself purple.
Taker hit a tombstone piledriver on Owens for the win, and then celebrated by shaking
the hands of his teammates Braun and Roman.
Which again, was awkward.
Despite being currently suspended from WWE - kayfabe - Ronda Rousey also wrestled on
the Madison Square Garden show, where she beat Nia Jax with Alexa Bliss as the special
guest referee.
It was an emotional weekend for Rousey, who was also inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame,
which led her to posting on Instagram: There are no words....
thank you New York and MSG for a night I’ll never forget.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry like a baby at the end of last night...
happy tears, but what a whirlwind past few days have been....
I’m humbled, grateful, and far from finished 🙇🏼‍♀️🙏🏼 📷
But Taker and Rousey weren’t the only huge WWE stars at the show, as undefeated
former Raw Tag Team Champion Nicholas was also backstage for the event!
I forgot that actually happened again.
Bray Wyatt tweeted ‘I play for keeps little Nicholas’ with a photo of Strowman just
managing to keep a rabid Nicholas away from the Deletor of Worlds’ tag team title.
Despite Wyatt suffering multiple injuries in a car crash on the 29th June, the Wrestling
Observer are reporting that WWE is hopeful for him to return on tonight’s episode of
Raw, and they expect him to be ready for his tag team title match against the B Team’s
Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel at this Sunday’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view.
Unfortunately, in one of the worst kinds of hot tags, Bray’s impending return comes
at the same time another Raw tag team star has been injured.
The Fashion Police’s Fandango tweeted on Saturday: “Seeya guys in 6-? Months 🙏”
A possible injury announcement that SmackDown producer Road Dogg supported with his reply:
“Healing vibes to you my friend” WWE themselves have since confirmed Fandango’s
injury, revealing that he’s “suffered a Left Labrum tear in his shoulder and will
require surgery to fix the issue.”
Leaving Fandango’s Fashion Police tag team partner Tyler Breeze to tweet: “Well, damn”
This is just the latest in a string of WWE injuries in the last few weeks, which includes
Bray Wyatt’s car accident, Ruby Riott spraining her MCL, Shinsuke Nakamura being bitten by
a police dog and Lars Sullivan suffering a broken jaw.
