Here's your wrestling news for October 12th, 2022, and we're
kicking off today with wwe, NXT as Mandy Rose was absent from
this week's show as she is mourning the loss of her brother the
toxic Attraction still made their presence felt on the show.
On the show, Alba Fire faced off against JC Jane
and made quick work of the former NXT Women's Tag
Team champion, but her celebration was short lived.
As she was heading back a hooded figure in the crowd attacked
fire later revealed to be none other than Sonya Deville Deville's
attack on fire continued and alongside Jane and Gigi Dolan, the
trio engaged in a triple power bomb through the announced table.
When asked about her actions, backstage, Deville said that while she
may have her differences with Rose alluding to their 2020 feud, the
two are still best friends and she'll be waiting for Alba Fire next.
It looks like Deville will be taking Rose's place
in toxic attraction, at least for the time being.
And what was a huge surprise on last night's episode
of NXT After Deville's appearance, WWE wasted no time
in announcing that Deville will be back on next week's
NXT to face fire, But that's not all that's in store.
It's also been announced that Channing Stax Lorenzo will
face the opponent of Tony DeAngelo's choosing next week after
Dean Angelo and Stax Lorenzo had a backstage segment on nxt.
We'll have to see who stacks ends up facing as the momentum
towards Halloween havoc shows no signs of slowing down.
Since returning to WWE at Extreme Rules, little has been
revealed about what the future holds for Bray Wyatt.
The only thing WWE has told fans for certain is that
Wyatt will be on this Friday's episode of SmackDown,
and fans should expect more of him on the blue brand.
According to PW Insider, Wyatt is listed internally as a
SmackDown superstar and his arrival on Team Blue means a feud
with undisputed wwe Universal Champion Roman Reigns seems likely.
As for WWE's other big return of this past week, Luke
Gallos and Carl Anderson are said to be staying on raw.
After returning on this week's episode to aid AJ Styles, Plenty has
changed in WWE over the past few days and Wyatt's return is a huge
win and we'll hopefully find out more on this Friday smack down.
We know that Wyatt will be on SmackDown where he'll no doubt earn.
Thunderos ovation from fans, but WWE
is still unsure what will come next.
According to zero news, Wyatt is not listed
on the internal heel or face lists, making it
unclear what role he'll be filling going forward.
The Ovation Bray received an extreme rule, certainly
makes a baby face role seem likely, but WWE has
been without a monster heal for quite some time.
Well, why it's future role with WWE remains unclear.
WWE has made changes to their heel face, internal
rosters, and Rhonda Rousey is now officially a heel.
This move was rather obvious given how Rousy has acted in recent
weeks, and now she's a fully fledged villain on SmackDown.
As for Wyatt, his return was certainly epic and
something fans had been wanting to see for a long time.
But now WWE needs to decide what exactly
they'll do with the former universal champion.
During this week's raw, Brock Lesnar returned and reignited
his feud with Bobby Lashley, decimating the Almighty prior
to his United States title defense with Seth Rollins.
This return will likely see the two
face off at Crown jewel next month.
But this match hasn't entirely been made by
WWE'S creative team according to sources.
It was Lashley who worked hard backstage to get the match after
not being happy with how the WWE has been booking his title feuds.
The now former US champions issue was
that he has not been booked strongly.
Even being pushed to the limit by Mustafa Ali the other week.
A superstar, many feel lashley should have squashed easily.
Taking his frustrations to WWE's head of Talent, Triple H.
The tour said to have had a long conversation which
resulted in the Lashley, Lester Match being made.
Lester and Lashley have faced off once before competing at the
2022 Royal Rumble, but this match wasn't up to the expectations.
Bobby had Lashley returned to WWE in 2018 with
the goal to have a match with Brock, but in the
end, Lashley was an afterthought in this match.
Instead of the war.
Lashley, had wanted, his performance was overshadowed by the
interference from Roman Reigns who cost Brock the WWE title, as
well as Paul Haman, who turned on the Beast Incarnate The match
that Lashley returned to WWE four, was ultimately not a match about
him, but instead just another chapter of the Lessner Reigns feud.
Something that didn't sit right with the
Almighty, as if that wasn't bad enough.
Lesnar even made reference to Lashley being a non-factor
in the feud, asking Bobby, who during an episode of Raw.
Lashley, second, WWE Title Reign did technically end at the hands of
Lesnar, but the two did not interact at the elimination chamber since
Lashley was removed early in the match due to an injury Now Lesnar and
Lashley will finally have a match free from titles and tribal chiefs.
But who do you think should win and why?
Earlier this year it looked like Mustafa Ali's time with WWE
was over as he requested his release, which was promptly Denied.
Ali has since returned to WWE programming, but
hasn't been used much, and in a social media
video expressed his frustrations with the company.
I heard something the other day and it really hit
me, and it goes, If I always do what I've always
done, then I'll always be where I've always been.
And the reason that it hit me is because I'm done.
I'm done being here.
I'm done being where I've always been.
Everyone keeps asking me why did I pick a fight with Bobby Lashley?
Why don't I just stay down and listen
as complicated as it gets up over here?
I promise you the answer is simple.
It's just done.
I'm done standing in lining, waiting for my number to get called a
number that we know was never gonna get called in the first place.
I'm done being the victim.
I'm done blaming other people.
I am done complaining about what I don't have.
I'm done not fighting.
I'm done with it.
I gotta fight.
It is on.
This is World War Me and yes, sure there might be
someone in front of me, someone slamming the door
in my face, but it's on me to kick that door down.
It's always been on me.
Ali, once again made it clear that he is tired of
waiting for an opportunity and added that he has
to be a little insane to make his dreams come true.
Not only did Ali share this video, but he also targeted
WWE'S Director of WWE Network documentaries Joey Maloney.
So it's likely the video was uploaded with the company's permission.
Whatever WWE or ALI have planned,
they're going about it in a unique way.
And what do you make to this?
Let us know in the comments below.
We mentioned earlier that Mandy Rose was not present
during this week's episode of nxt, and that is
sadly due to the death of her brother, Richie.
Now Rose has given a brief statement in which she thanks
all those who have paid the respect, saying that the
last few days have not been easy for her or her family.
Rose May be the NXT women's champion, but her family
and her own wellbeing come first at this time and
we are wishing her the best at this sad time in wwe.
Sammy zane has become one of the more popular stars
this year with his antics as part of the bloodline,
getting him a huge pop each time he's on screen.
This week's raw was no exception as he
once again got under the skin of Jay uso.
But it's not just those associated with WWE
who have been impressed by the honorary use.
Speaking to Sam Roberts on the Not Sam podcast,
AEW's MJF couldn't help but show his admiration
for Sammy, who he believes is next level in ww e.
I think Sammy Zane is one of the most entertaining professional
wrestlers on the planet and has been for a very long time.
He hasn't always had the platform and the opportunity to show
the world that I feel now that he is getting that platform,
it's becoming more clear than ever was that he's next level.
Sammy may be the honorary Uce, but the tensions
are clearly there between him and Jay uso.
So it remains to be seen just how long the three time former
Intercontinental champion remains as part of the bloodline.
Now, it was this time last week that Andrade El Idolo picked a fight
with Sammy Guevara resulting in the former NXT champion being sent.
The one sided fight took place after the
two had gone back and forth on social media.
But since then, Guevara has been surprisingly quiet
about what transpired in his most recent blog.
Guevara only addressed the fight with Andrade at the very
end of the video saying he's done focusing on negativity.
The former TNT champion went on to say that when you're on this
trajectory to where I'm heading, there's going to be people
that are going to do everything in their power to drag you down.
Guevara wisely.
Chose not to fight back during the altercation with Andrade, and
therefore was not sent home like El Idolo, but instead got to
headline that week's, three year anniversary episode of Dynamite.
There's been no confirmation about what Tony Khan will do with
Andrade, who is reportedly trying to get fired from AEW to
return to wwe, but whatever happens, Guevara is focused on his
butting wrestling career and finished with backstage drama.
Last year, WWE resigned.
Davey Boy Smith Jr.
But released the son of the British Bulldog after just one dark match.
Despite this, Smith's passion for wrestling has been
undeterred, and he is now set to make his return to Ml W.
It's been confirmed that Smith will return for MLW Fight Land
22 on October 30th at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, which
fans know as the old stomping ground of the original ECW.
Despite his short WWE run, Smith has expressed a
desire to return to WWE for what would be a third run.
But before that happens, he's looking to make
an impact once more in Major League wrestling.
And we're ending today with Cora Jade and Roxanne
Perez, who once the closest of friends and are now
bitter rivals during last night's NXT Jade Berated here.
Former tag team partner claiming Perez has no friends
in scathing interview segment with Mackenzie Mitchell.
The two will pick each other's opponents.
Prior to the Weapons Wild Match at Halloween
Havoc and it was confirmed that Perez will be on
this week SmackDown to find an opponent for Jade.
As for Jade, she later said on last night's NXT that her
pick for Perez is coming from RAW as she's choosing former
NXT Women's Champion and Current Judgment Day Member Ripley.
We'll have to see who Perez ends up picking, but it looks
like someone from SmackDown will make their presence known.
And next week's NXT.
