Here is your news for June 12th 2019
Vince mcmahon secret backstage fights / Altercations with WWE officals and writers leaked
It was bad news for WWE during this week’s RAW as the company’s flagship show faces
one of it’s lowest viewership in the show’s 26 year history.
According to the Wrestling Observer, this week’s show was a record low for a non-holiday
edition of RAW, and the numbers don’t lie.
This week’s episode drew an average 2.13 million views, down significantly from last week’s
2.41 million, and the hourly breakdown shows that audiences switched off throughout the entire show.
For hour one, 2.38 million homes were tuned in, whilst this number dropped to 2.09 million during
hour two, before settling at 1.91 million during hour three.
To be fair to WWE, they did face stiff competition this week, as the NBA Finals
match between the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors took place
during the final two hours of the show.
A hotly contested match that saw the Warriors win by just one point,
the game attracted over 18 million viewers,
many of whom presumably coming from watching RAW.
The NBA Season ends this Sunday, so hopefully this dip in viewers will be a one-off, though with
Baron Corbin once again being pushed in the main event against Universal Champion
Seth Rollins, there may not be much relief next week.
According to reports, Vince McMahon is furious with the state of WWE at the moment,
as the company continues it’s slump whilst facing the growing threat of AEW.
reportedly Vince mcmahon had a huge altercations with writers and producers
for wwe poor performance
Hopefully things will turn around for the Sports Entertainment Juggernaut
as we quickly approach the biggest party of the summer, Summerslam.
Speaking of bad news for WWE, former United States Champion Rey Mysterio
continues to be off screens and has recently spoken about his botched
finish during his title match against Samoa Joe at Money in the Bank, and his injury.
At the pay per view, Mysterio captured the title from Joe, despite the Samoan’s
shoulders being off the match, and suffered a separated shoulder
after the bout which forced him to relinquish the gold.
Mysterio said:
“When you’re in their full action and full adrenaline, you have know idea of the referee’s
referee’s count or if he’s even aware that the opponent is grabbing
the rope while he’s doing the pin. Nine out of 10 times the ref is right on spot, but this wasn’t the occasion.”
When the Ultimate Underdog was asked about when we could expect him back in the ring,
Mysterio was optimistic, saying:
“Due to the unfortunate aftermath after winning the title, I suffered a separated left shoulder.
That has put me on the bench, so I’ve been doing some PRP
and slight rotation movements. I’m trying to see if I could get back in possibly late June or July.”
This certainly would be an incredible turnaround for Mysterio, who has been plagued with injuries throughout his career.
Since returning to the company full time during SmackDown’s 1,000th episode,
the master of the 619 has been on fire, having highly entertaining feuds
against the likes of Samoa Joe and Andrade.
It’s clear that the company still has plenty of faith in Rey,
so the sooner we see him back the better, just as long as he’s healthy.
Mysterio may be gearing up for a return to the ring, but one Superstar
who certainly isn’t is Rey’s former tag team partner Batista.
After retiring from the ring following his WrestleMania 35 loss to Triple H,
the animal has said he is happy with how the match went,
but also revealed in an interview that the two didn’t train together.
According to the Marvel movie star, it was the Game’s decision to not work much together
before the show, as the King of Kings was worried about
suffering an injury like his Pectoral tear at last year’s Crown Jewel whilst training for the high profile match.
Batista said:
“We were scheduled to train, and we did go to the training facility, but we didn’t train.
Because he [Triple H] said ‘I can get in the ring, and I can work out
and I can feel a little more confident,’ He said, ‘or I can get in the ring and I can re-tear my pec.’
He said, ‘let’s be safe about this, we’ve been in the ring enough, we know each other.’”
Though he may have come out on the losing end of the match,
Batista seems happy with how the bout went, as after years of hurdles
and movie schedules blocking the match, the Animal got to step into the ring with his friend one last time.
Speaking of WWE Superstars who have turned to acting,
John Cena has been in the news this week, as the former WWE Champion
turned Bumblebee star continues to be a huge name despite not competing
since his January 14th RAW defeat at the hands of Finn Balor.
Speaking to TMZ about the controversial Goldberg Vs. Undertaker match from Super Showdown,
Cena said it was up to the two former World Champions whether they feel
they should retire, and that no one can make that decision for them.
When asked about the possibility of his own retirement, the 16-time World Champion
Champion didn’t explicitly say he was looking at retirement,
but did slip that it was something he had considered.
At 42 years old, Cena has had a career most Superstars could only dream of,
and after so many high profile matches against the likes of Undertaker, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton and AJ Styles,
the Doctor of Thuganomics has certainly earned some time away from the ring.
In the same interview with TMZ, Cena also spoke about other projects he is working on,
and said he was extremely grateful to be joining the Fast and Furious franchise,
as he will star in the movie’s next instalment out May 2020.
As one career seemingly comes to an end, another is facing a major shift as Chad Gable
appears to be the newest member of the Cruiserweight division.
Appearing on this week’s 205 Live, Gable faced Jack Gallagher in the show’s opener,
Gable earned a countout victory over the English Superstar, German Suplexing Gallagher
on the floor outside the ring, with the Genteman unable to make it back in for the count of ten.
Earlier this week, 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick had been promising a special
surprise to the purple brand and that seems to be Gable.
The former Olympian was recently moved from RAW to SmackDown Live
Live in the latest Superstar shakeup, though had only a few appearances
on the blue brand before his Cruiserweight move.
Spotted making notes in a backstage segment during this week’s SmackDown
the move to 205 Live could be the right call for Gable,
as the Superstar who has the distinction of being just one of two men to hold the NXT,
RAW and SmackDown Tag Team titles, may have his eyes set on singles gold very soon.
WWE Super Showdown continues to be in the news following the shocking main event
between Goldberg and The Undertaker, and though most fans have berated
the sloppy encounter, the huge bout has received some support.
In a tweet, Chris Jericho praised both men for their work, comparing them to aging
rockers who can still perform, saying:
“Both Undertaker and Goldberg are once in a lifetime, TOP Level performers and money draws.
And even though they And even though they might not be at their peak
peak & had an outing that wasnt perfect, they are still better than most.
I think @MickJagger & @OzzyOsbourne would agree. #Respect”
This is certainly a change of pace for Jericho, who only recently mocked the company
for making Brock Lesnar Mr. Money in the Bank, and he isn’t the only WWE
legend to defend the Jeddah match.
Ric Flair spoke on Sirius XM’s Busted Open and the 16-time World Champion
gave some huge compliments for the Demon of Death Valley.
“They opened up hot, I loved it, and I loved the match up until the last minute-and-a-half.
And here’s the deal - whatever you want to say about anybody in this business,
he is gonna be on Mount Rushmore if there is one.…
you can say no wrong about The Undertaker.”
Though the two-time Hall of Famer was quick to praise his former opponent,
the Nature Boy did give Goldberg a backhanded compliment, saying:
“Bill Goldberg had arguably the greatest run of anybody for years and has still never had
anybody spend more than a half-hour with him learning the fundamentals of the business.”
It may not have been a ringing endorsement, but Flair was certainly kinder than Matt Riddle,
who didn’t hold back recently when he described the former Universal Champion
as one of the worst wrestlers ever.
And finally, today we’re looking at Enzo Amore, as the former WWE Superstar
was his usual vocal self when he appeared on the Keepin it 100 With Konnan podcast.
During the show, the Certified-G spoke about his singles run in 2017,
and specifically mentioned a scathing promo he received during the September 11th edition of RAW
That night, The Miz cut a promo on Enzo, referencing the very-real backstage
backstage heat the former Cruiserweight Champion had, including once being kicked off
the WWE’s tour bus by the usually mellow Roman Reigns.
According to Enzo though, he wasn’t given the chance to fire back, telling Konnan:
“They put me in the ring with The Miz who aired me out on all the dirt sheet articles
that had been coming out about me, and they just had The Miz bury me
and I was told I couldn’t say a word back, or I’d be fired so,
if I said something, I would’ve gotten fired.”
Though this is a huge claim by Enzo, we know to take everything he says with a pinch of salt,
as the former Superstar did once claim he was completely finished
with wrestling, only to make appearance in the crowd at both last year’s Survivor Series
and this year’s G1 Supercard in April.
Whatever the truth may be, expect the former Cruiserweight Champion
to be his very-confident self for years to come.
