Here's more wrestling news for August 13th, 2022.
And we're kicking off with bra Wyatt who was fired from WWE last year,
which shocked fans of the immensely popular former universal champion.
Recently Wyatt Penda poem uploaded to social media
where he referenced WWE and between that and the
recent returns, many fans are hopeful to see him.
It was reported this week that Wyatt's name had
come up backstage within WWE's creative team.
And we have an update as to what's really going on a tenured
member of WWE's creative team was told by ringside news that
while Wyatt's name has come up, that's all there is to it.
His name has been mentioned, but not in terms of what will we do with.
At the time of his release, it was reported that Wyatt had been
creatively frustrated with Vince McMohan, leading many to hope that
Vince's retirement would kickstart Bray's return to the company that
may still happen as we're sure triple H would be open to at least
discussing things with bra, but his return isn't the done deal.
Some people believe ever since triple H took
over as head of creative and talent relations.
There's been a ton of changes taking place in WWE.
Several superstars have returned adding names to the main roster.
And the roster may be about to go through a major change.
Sean Ross SAP reports that many WWE superstars believe that a draft
is bound to happen soon and could be happening in less than a month.
Their reasoning is that a lot of raw superstars
are scheduled for the first smack down after clash
of the castle, which would be the September 9th.
The flip side of things, SmackDown superstars have also been scheduled
for the September 4th and September 11th, episodes of raw, which
has only made people within WWE certain that the draft is imminent.
Things have been said to lead superstars to think
that a draft is coming and writers have been told
that multiple superstars will be repackaged very soon.
WWE has had a lot of changes over the past month,
and it may be a matter of time before the company
confirms a new era with two brand new rosters.
Over to N XT 2.0.
Now as the roster is full of superstars,
hoping to make it to the main roster.
And one name in particular is planning
on being called up relatively soon.
This week, WWE arrived in Los Angeles for the WrestleMania
39 tickets launch event, which saw an appearance by
several main roster stars, as well as Santo ESCO.
The leader of Lagado Del FMA Escobar discussed his group
and how next year's WrestleMania will be in California
and gave a huge tease about his future WrestleMania.
Next year's WrestleMania might just get grander because
Santos, Escobar and Lagado Del FMA might just make our
WrestleMania debut and call this party Santos mania.
We should state that at this time, we've not heard of any
plans for ESCO bar or Lagado Del F Tama to be called up.
But of course, that could happen in the
eight months between now and WrestleMania.
A former NXT cruiserweight champion ESCO bar has certainly been a
success in NXT 2.0, and it may be time for him to take his skills
to the main roster at STARC Kate 1999, Brett Hart took a kick to
the head by Goldberg that would ultimately end the Hitman's career.
The concussion heart received that night on top of other
injuries would bring his incredible time in the ring to an end.
And the Hitman has held a grudge ever since to his credit Goldberg
has routinely apologized for what happened in the decades since
then, but now the WWE hall of Famer has reached his limit during an
appearance on talk is Jericho Goldberg addressed hearts, disdain for
him after all these years and is sick of feeling bad about himself.
I'm kind of at a turning point, I'm done
saying, I'm sorry, I've said it a million times.
I'm not gonna continue to tear myself down.
I'm done.
I said, I'm sorry if he can't accept my apology, it is what it is.
You gotta move on.
Perhaps if that kick had never happened, it would've been Brett who
would've gone on to become a two time former WWE universal champion.
And while heart will likely never forgive Goldberg,
the former NFL star has made his piece with.
On last week's WWE SmackDown, carrying cross made his shocking return
to WWE attacking drew McIntyre and setting his sights on Roman rains.
Crosses return certainly came as a surprise and his push to the
main event isn't going away anytime soon in the resting observer
newsletter, it's confirmed that WWE's current plans is for reigns
to face cross, but the timing of that match is a bit unclear.
Rains isn't scheduled to compete at October's extreme rules premium
live event, which would mean that if WWE want the match, then
it'll either be on TV or saved for November's survivor series.
There's also the question of drew McIntyre, who will face rains at
clash at the castle next month, and hopes to be the one to de throne.
The reigning undisputed WWE universal champion.
All we know for sure is that a first time ever
match between reigns and cross is in the works.
And it goes to show just how much faith triple H has in the former
NXT champion to push him immediately against the head of the table.
Over to AEW.
Now, as Parker Boudreau has made a handful of appearances for Tony
Kahn's company, following his release from WWEarlier this year.
The man once called the next Brock.
Lester was released after not showing enough improvement
for WWE and after the company found something out about
him, but we'll be seeing much more of him in AEW on Twitter.
The company confirmed that Boudreau has been signed to a
contract with a status promoting the former Harland as all elite.
Budrow also commented on his official deal saying
that his time has now come and we'll just have to see
what AEW has in store for the colossal young wrestler.
AEW has certainly become popular with fans, but there may be a limit
to just how much exposure the promotion is able to get in the UK.
The TV partner responsible for WWE content is BT sport.
What a recent business deal could cause
serious problems for WWE's main competition.
Back in may of this year, Warner brothers discovery
reached an agreement to combine Eurosport UK with BT sport.
Meaning that WWE's UK based partner is expected to
be taken over by the company that is responsible for
broadcasting AEW in the rest of the observer newsletter.
However, it was explained that most, if not all WWE TV
contracts come with a clause, barring their broadcast partners
from airing, any other wrestling promotion than theirs.
That means that if BT sports is indeed acquired by Warner
brothers discovery, the network would not be allowed to air AEW
content because of this clause by WWE AEW's current deal with
Warner brothers discovery is set to expire in the end of 2023.
And Tony con is hoping to sign a new, bigger deal with them.
But if he succeeds, it means that AEW could
have to limit their content in the UK.
In 2017 nude photos and videos of page were leaked online
in a clear breach of the former WWE superstar's privacy.
As if that weren't bad enough, Paige's harrowing event was
met with ridicule and judgment by fans and years later, fans
would still mocker for what happened with some doing so to
this day, this week, Paige spoke to Renee Ette on the sessions
and explained just how low things got for her at the time.
It was just the most awful moment of my life.
I felt so fucking stupid and so embarrassed.
And I was already like a fucking
cokehead at this time and loved to drink.
And that really fucking got me to rock bottom
where I didn't really want to be alive anymore.
Paige said that she had to hide in a Bush in fear that
people would recognize her, but a call with her dad and
her family kept her from doing something she'd regret.
Now Paige has emerged from what has happened and it is
in a much better place, but the invasion of her privacy
nearly pushed the British superstar over the edge.
And we're ending today with Rick flair, who teamed with
Johnny Ollo to defeat Jeff jar and Jay lethal last month
in what was promoted as the nature boys final ever match.
Rick has competed in his last match, but has
already gotten physical again during an event in
Puerto Rico and is now already teasing his return.
Addressing reports about his health during the recent match.
Claire said that everyone is worried about his health.
When all that happened was he got dehydrated
and promised to drink more water than beer.
Next time, Claire didn't outright say he was going to
have another match, but he certainly implied it with his
post, despite previously saying that he was satisfied with
last month's match and has no reason to wrestle again.
The NA Chabo has already come out of retirement once
before, as his original last match was back in 2008.
And while a lot of the selling point for star
cast was that it would be Rick flare's last match.
We can't rule out a return to the ring once
again, for the dirtiest player in the game.
