We’re kicking off this video with this year’s April 15th releases, which included Mickie James, but the former Women’s Champion
caused quite a change when she posted a photo of her personal items being sent from WWE in a trash-bag.
This led to WWE firing Mark Carrano and both Triple H and Stephanie McMahon publicly apologising for it, and as you’d expect,
AEW has poked fun at the situation. During the latest Being the Elite, the Young Bucks visted Brandon Cutler, who’ll be out
of actions for a few months and due to injury, and said since he won’t need his ring gear, they brought it too him.
Producing a plastic bag with Cutler’s name on it, this was a not so subtle dig at WWE’s practice, and the latest in many jabs made
at WWE by the Elite. WWE have now changed their practices backstage, and have promised to better
with released Superstars, but that didn’t stop AEW from poking fun at this embarrassing situation.
It was in 2019 that the WWE made the Bucks an offer to, when the pair were weighing up all their options, and whilst the pair eventually
took a chance with AEW, it was hard to turn Vince McMahon down. Speaking on the Talk ‘n Shop podcast, Matt
Jackson revealed that WWE offered them half-a-million-dollars each, far more than many long-term WWE employees were getting:
“I knew the kind of money The Good Brothers were getting. Everyone else was getting like $150,000 to start. He was already offering
us $500,000 each guaranteed. I’m going like, ‘what!’ At that moment, we knew our street value. That was just the first offer.”
The Bucks turned down WWE’s offer, even though it had a ten-month escape clause if they joined and then wanted out, and whilst
those ten months probably would’ve slowed down the Bucks from forming AEW, the brothers clearly made the right call in 2019.
If you go to WWE.com, you can find banners for each brand, and these banners are only reserved for the very top names from each
show. Now, WWE has shown who they plan on pushing from now on, as these banners
have changed, with the RAW one now featuring Rhea Ripley and Bobby Lashley in front, with Alexa Bliss, Charlotte Flair, AJ Styles and
Drew McIntyre behind them. Smackdown’s new banner features Roman Reigns and Bianca Belair, with Seth Rollins
and Rey Mysterio behind Reigns with Sasha Banks and Bayley behind Belair.
It’s always interesting to see who WWE puts up on their banners, and although it doesn’t 100% guarantee a huge push for anyone
involved, it’s a good sign of who they’re focusing on.
In recent weeks, WWE have been making several executive reshuffles, and a new hiring has been made.
This week, WWE named Claudine Lilien the new Senior Vice President and Head of Global Sales and Partnerships, after previously
spending 15 years at FOX. In a statement, Stephanie McMahon said that she’s excited to work with Lilien, and looks
forward to her contributions in the company from now on.
We’re going back in time next, as in 2011, The Miz defeated John Cena in the main- event of WrestleMania 27, one of a handful
of losses Cena has taken at the show. Before then, Cena had beaten the Miz several times at live events in June 2009
and November 2010, and while speaking on his WWE 24 documentary, Miz revealed that it was Cena who took him to the next level:
“Cena taught me more than I could ever imagine... He taught me what it takes to be the caliber of superstar I needed to be to be WWE Champion.”
Miz recently said that he doesn’t need a title to be relevant in WWE, and clearly learning from one of the biggest names in wrestling
history was all the A-Lister needed all those years ago.
For the past year, the world has been rocked by an invisible enemy, and though masks and social-distancing help slow the spread,
vaccines are really the answer. The fact that we have vaccines that have virtually eliminated Polio, Tetanus, Rubella
and other diseases isn’t enough for some people though, and former WWE star Ryback recently took to Twitter to say it’s responsible
of people to not get the vaccine. Saying that people have built up their immune systems, Ryback added that he supports
everyone who doesn’t want to get the vaccine, but insisted in a later tweet that he’s not against masks, but is against shaming other people for
choosing not to get the jab. With a mentality like this, we’ll have to wait a bit longer for things to get back to normal,
and though vaccines are readily available in the U.S. unlike many places in the world, Ryback supports those who turn down that opportunity.
UFC news as Conor McGregor has been arrested with a stash of cell-phones and drugs, or at least that’s what the man arrested wants
you to believe. In fact, Englishman Mark Nye has been sentenced to three-years behind bars after
pleading guilty to possession of class-A drugs, but when attested, he told police that he was the famous UFC fighter
To his credit, Nye and McGregor do have a passing resemblance, and Nye even had fake ‘McGregor Enterprises’ business cards in his
car at the time of the arrest, which he used to market his drug-dealing in the town of Surrey.
This impersonation plan clearly didn’t go according to plan, as though the real McGregor will be preparing for his July fight
against Dustin Poinier, his lookalike will be going to prison.
As WWE’s COO, and 14-time World Champion, Triple H has done plenty in WWE, but not everyone is a fan of the Game.
It’s no secret that Bret Hart isn’t the biggest Triple H supporter, famously saying that the Cerbral Assassin is a 4/10 at best, and this
week, the Hitman reiterated his stance on the Hall of Famer.
Speaking to Inside the Ropes, Hart suggested that nepotism is why Triple H has been so successful, saying:
“There’s always some guys you know that no matter what they do with them, you always wonder how they got there. I never
thought Triple H ever had an idea, original idea for anything. I always thought he was over-rated. The reason people even know
him or remember him today is because daddy or daddy-in-law put him over.”
Whilst claims like this against Triple H are nothing new, it’s still surprising to see Bret make them, as in his eleven years since
returning to WWE, the Hitman’s stance about the 14-time WWE Champion hasn’t softened one bit.
At Impact’s Rebellion event, Matt Cardona suffered a nasty bump when he faced Brian Myers, as he was thrown in the air and
landed at an awkward angle. Seemingly injuring his knee, the match was stopped when the ref threw up the X sign,
suspecting an injury, and fans were concerned about the former WWE U.S. Champion.
On Twitter, Cardona gave an update, saying the injury is not as bad as it felt, and that his knee-cap is back in place.
There’s still some debate about whether this injury was a work or not, and we’ll have to see what’s next for the former Zack Ryder.
And we’re ending today with Triller Fight Club, who made a ton of money off a Pay Per View headlined by Jake Paul Vs. Ben Askren, and
now their next show is taking shape. Recently, indie wrestler Dylan Bostin challenged Joey Janela to a boxing match,
and Triller is interested in making this match happen. When Ringside News asked about the fight
on one of their events, a source for Triller said they were 1000% interested in the fight happening.
Nothing official has been made for the match, as Janela hasn’t publicly commented, but it he is down for the fight with Bostin, then we
have a good idea where fans can watch it.
