Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News - I’m Oli Davis.
Happy Birthday, Kingslayer And happy birthday to the hottest man in the
WWE right now - in terms of wrestling, not his rock hard Crossfit body… - Seth Rollins.
Even Vince McMahon wished the Kingslayer well on Twitter:
“Happy birthday @WWERollins! Burn it down.” WrestleTalk can exclusively reveal, though,
that Seth’s birthday cake did not feature candles. Does your pyro cost-cutting know
no bounds? Although I’m still waiting for my invite
to Seth’s party - my number’s on the back of the signed picture I sent you Rollins…
if you’re watching… - a certain WWE wrestler might still be able to make it...
Big Cass Injury Update ...because Big Cass’s injury might not be
as severe as first thought, with PWInsider reporting he’s “scheduled to be on the
road this week for WWE”. Cass hasn’t appeared in ring on TV since
“injuring” his knee during WWE’s European tour, but it was never quite clear whether
this was part of a storyline or a real cause for concern. There were also reports of backstage
heat on Cass, after he went off script during a segment where he attacked a little person
dressed as Daniel Bryan. He was pulled from his Money in the Bank qualifying
match with Samoa Joe because of the injury, and his feud with Daniel Bryan seemed to be
over. But if he is cleared to return, costing Bryan his qualifying match against Joe on
tonight’s SmackDown would be the logical fit to continue their feud.
And it’s not just Cass returning to our screens...
Enzo Amore Returns With A Rap Video … as his former tag team partner and ex-WWE
wrestler Enzo Amore has returned to the public eye for the first time since being accused
of sexual assault in the most Enzo Amore way possible - by releasing a rap music video
about the aforementioned sexual assault accusations. The allegations against Enzo were first made
public on Twitter back in January, and WWE released him soon after, reportedly because
he hadn’t informed them he was under investigation. Then two weeks ago, Amore’s lawyers released
a statement revealing the case had been dropped because of insufficient evidence, and teased
Enzo’s “next venture in the entertainment industry.” We all presumed that ‘next
venture’ would be in wrestling. But Enzo marches to his own drum. And that drum has
the sickest hip hop beats. Enzo, or Real1 as he’s now known in rap
circles, has released his debut song “Phoenix” on YouTube. The lyrics are almost impenetrably
complex, but I’ll do my best to decipher their cryptic meaning here - firstly,
“Listen up you sloppy jalopy son of a b****! Sitting on your f***ing couch, with your f***ing
phone in your hand, doing your arm-chair detective work … thinking you know what the f*** is
going on.” This, to me, sounds like it could be an attack
on social media users and wrestling site writers who speculated on his sexual assault allegations..
“Still I rise from the ashes like a phoenix. Middle finger to the sky grippin’ my …. consensual
penis. Lyin’ ass hoe out in Phoenix.” Again, art of this calibre has infinite possible
interpretations, but given that the alleged sexual assault incident occurred in Phoenix,
it’s possible to assume Enzo is here addressing the case being dropped against him.
There are also similarities with the music video’s dyed hair, glasses-wearing, nose
pierced actress laughing over Enzo’s deceased corpse, and his real-life accuser Philomena
Sheahan. And to coincide with the video going up on
YouTube, Amore has made his first public appearance since January 2018 - appearing in Times Square,
New York during Memorial Day. Which former WWE tag team might be reuniting?!
