Here's your wrestling news for October 5th, 2022, and we're
kicking off with wwe and for weeks, the white rabbit has
had fans believing that Bray Wyatt's return is imminent over
a year after his controversial release from the company,
all the clues so far certainly point to a Wyatt return, and
now Bray himself has gotten in on the action on Twitter.
Why it updated his bio, which now reads a villain
is just a victim from a different story, which
has left fans trying to decode the message.
Some have speculated that this could be
related to Wyatt's release as the feend.
A villain of WWE was un unceremoniously fired under the previous
regime and was a victim of Vince McMahon and his budget cuts.
Whatever this bio means, fans are eager to see
Wyatt back on WWE programming, and his return
to the company may not be too much longer now.
Wyatt's return may indeed be days away.
And not only have clues been left for fans to solve onscreen, but
there's been some interesting changes behind the camera fight.
Full select reports that WWE has hired horror
writer Rob fee to the company, and that he's
due to start full time at some point this month.
Given that fee is a horror writer, it makes sense that fans are
associating him with Bray but fight for ads that he once pitched
a fied movie to wwe, which resonated well with the higher ups.
The film was close to being green lit before Wyatt's release.
Obviously ended those plans, but his hiring amid
rumors of a Wyatt return is certainly interesting.
Fee hasn't started full time just yet, but fans are
already enjoying his work as he's been the one producing
content for the QR code related videos and graphics,
which have gained an incredible amount of buzz.
A former Marvel writer and head of several Disney shows hiring
Rob Fee is a big win for wwe and it certainly looks like he'll
be a huge presence moving forward when Wyatt is inevitably back.
Last month, Veer Mahan returned to NXT at a live event and
teamed with his former his Sure partner Sanga at the time.
Many thought that this marked the end of Ves time on the main
roster, and that appears to be the case going by last night's NXT.
Mahan appeared during a backstage segment and reunited with
sang on the show confirming that the pair are back together.
Veer may be on NXT, but it's reported that this won't be for long
as WWE reportedly has plans for both he and sang on the main roster.
At one point, Vince McMahon saw Mahan is his next top heel
on raw, but that didn't pan out and now he's back in Indu.
Sure.
Veer was on this week's NXT, but he wasn't
the only notable name on the gold brand.
During pretty deadly state of the Commonwealth
Address Ridge, Holland and Butch of the Brawling BRS
returned to NXT, taking out the TAG team Champions.
The appearance came after Butch and Holland missed
last Friday smacked down due to Hurricane Ian,
leaving Shamus to take on all of Imperium on his own.
WWE has featured a lot of main roster superstars in NXC
over recent months as part of a creative decision to
have more crossover between NXT and the main roster.
So we'll have to see if this appearance is a one
off or if the brawling boots are back next week.
Over to Ron now is Bailey vowed to become Raw Women's Champion this
week when she faces Bianca Bellaire at Extreme Rules on Saturday.
Ended with Bailey holding the title on a ladder flanked by
the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions Dakota Kai and EO Sky.
But that wasn't the only ladder usage on the show
backstage, a ladder was used by Sky to attack Osca,
but WWE had an interesting rule in place for the show.
According to fight a production mandate was that only
eight to 10 foot ladders could be used far shorter than
previous ladders, which have been as big as 15 to 20.
This Saturday, we'll mark the first singles
women's ladder match on the main roster.
But don't expect the tall ladders when Bailey and be air face off.
WWE'S rule about ladder height was fully in effect during this week's
raw, but not everything planned for the show happened as expected.
During the show, The Judgment Days, Finn Baller and Damien
Priest defeated Ray and AJ Styles, but fight for report that
there was a time when WWE planned for the match to headline Raw.
That didn't happen as the main event Match saw EO Sky defeat Alexa
Bliss, but the women's Division would also experience changes.
Fight's report adds that at one point the trio of Bliss,
Bell Air and Oscar were originally set to accompany
Candace Lorre to the ring for her match against Dakota Kai.
That didn't happen as Lorre lost a Kai, thanks
to interference by Bailey, and there's been no
explanation as to why these changes happened.
Now Sammy gva has replied to the recent comments made by Andra
elo, in which the former Nxc champion criticized the Spanish God.
In an interview with Ma Lucha after saying GVA was like
a little girl and upset about being hit too hard, the
former TNT champion fired back in an explosive tweet.
You didn't say shit to me, you liar, but here's some truth.
You ungrateful prick.
You would be jobless if it wasn't for your dad in-law.
Are you really mad at me or are you mad at
yourself for failing to get over for a second time?
Just go back to WWE like we all know you want to do and fuck off.
In the same interview, Andra made his comments.
El Elo also spoke about feeling stuck in AEW
and praised Triple H following weeks of teasing
about wanting to get out of his AEW contract.
We know that Ara will put his career in AEW on the line during this
week's rampage when he takes on press advance of the dark order, But
perhaps a return to WWE is in the works for the former NXT champion.
The last time fans saw Roman Rains in action on TV
was that clash at the castle where he defeated Drew
MacIntyre to retain the undisputed WWE Universal title.
The match was the definition of a big fight feel, and now
the Challenger has spoken more about that special night.
Sitting down with my San Antonio MacIntyre spoke about how
both he and Rains broke character immediately after the bell.
But the fans were 100% for me and against
Roman, and the atmosphere was great.
I even asked Roman afterwards because he had
been a part of these matches with big crowds.
Have you heard anything like that?
And he said, No.
It'd be hard pressed to find a crowd that was that
loud consistently throughout, especially our match.
It was a World Cup soccer match.
The way they were shouting, the way they were singing
their songs en chanting F you Roman the entire
time and they were not happy with that finish.
I was generally concerned about rioting clash at the castle,
marked to WWE'S first major event in 30 years in the uk.
And judging by the reaction the show has received, we doubt it'll
be the last time WWE packs a stadium with passionate UK fans.
Over to AEW next, as the young Bucks are currently out with a
suspension due to their role in the fight after last months, All out.
To be fair, all reports suggest that the Bucks did not
instigate the fight, but they have been pulled from
TV and many believe their suspension won't last long
as AEW promoted the bucks new sneaker on social media.
Speaking to wrestling ink.
This week though, Dave Meltzer said that the AEW promotion
of the shoes shouldn't be seen as a sign of their
return as there was even more promoting that was planned
for AEW TV that was cut because of their suspension.
In the end, this promotion on TV didn't
matter as the shoes sold out instantly.
And Meltzer pointed out that the bucks haven't
even been mentioned once on AEW TV in over a month.
It was a tough decision for Tony Conn, but AEW is
without four of its biggest stars in the Bucks Kitty.
Omega and CM Punk and the company will continue to distance
themselves from the group for however long con deems
necessary, and we're ending with last week's SmackDown,
where Max Dupre ended things with the maximum male models
group telling Masai and SUA that he was done with them.
This came after weeks of Dupree teasing a change with fans,
thinking that he could be going back to being LA Night,
especially after a backstage segment where he used the night
name PW Insider reports that as of now Dupre has been Reed
as LA Night on WWE's internal roster, and that the change
to his old name on TV will be done as soon as possible.
The report adds that Masai and SUA will still be a tag
team under the maximum mail models banner, but it'll be
Knight's sister Maxine, who operates as their manager.
Knight is just the latest wrestler to get his old name
back as several superstars have reverted under Triple
H's regime, and it's now time for fans to see what the
former million dollar Champion can do on the main roster.
