They add noise to it no they don’t it leaves a scar people thought like is that makeup no it’s real what are y’all talking about providing more information regarding a recent departure from WWE the wrestling Observer newsletter said longtime WWE writer and producer Jennifer Pepperman decided to leave the company her main

Focus had been the women’s division on Smackdown the only thing said was that she wanted a change it was noted she was close with Mercedes Monae after the 200th epis episode of dynamite a graphic was displayed thanking aew president Tony Khan as Marvin movie monster called this out on

X writing Tony khon putting up a thank you Tony conon graphic is the billionaire equivalent of Michael Scott buying himself the world’s greatest boss mug when WWE hits Milestones they thank the fans when Tony hits Milestones he thanks himself KH responded writing it was a surprise from the crew after the

Live 200th episode of dynamite it was a nice moment and unexpected I appreciated it very much with him recently taking on kenos teesa it looks like Chris Jericho is set for a break from a ew as Sean Ross APPA fightful said we’re told Chris Jericho is slated to be off television for at

Least a couple of weeks he’s headed overseas to tour with fzy during an NXT taping Shotsy ended up suffering an injury when attempting her apron DDT as Shan Ross sappa fightful said while we have not been able to confirm the explicit nature of shot’s knee injury one source told fightful

That she will be out for a significant amount of time fing her returned from a knee injury in December an NXT is out of action once again as Dave melzer claimed in the wrestling Observer newsletter that Nikita Lions is injured again just coming back from an injury with former WWE star Amari Miller

Previously posting on social media that she wanted to be the second African women’s champion on NXT she claimed she did not include Mercedes Monae due to her being German and African as she said this about about it to Steve fall of wrestling news it did suck and it was

Very hurtful there are some people that are still mean about it and there’s some people that have you know surpassed it and it’s like this is in the past it is what it is but those are also the same people that are going to be in your face

Like oh my gosh can I have an autograph or I sent you fan mail and I did this so that’s another thing you put your life publicly we’ve all done something there’s so many wrestlers and so many famous people before that have said something that went the wrong way and it

Happen you just got you kind of move forward and be like okay are the people that matter mad no okay did you say you’re sorry like if you honestly mean to say you’re sorry yes are you grateful for where you’re at okay get off social media let’s just let this fizzle out and

Then go on with the next step and ignore them have war that like I’m not a huge person I’m blocking people I don’t like it it’s a waste of time like whatever but sometimes you do have to go out of your way to block people and at the same

Time when people say things to you it’s like that’s a reflection on themselves I feel like trolls are going to troll because they’re in a sense jealous but if they’re not jealous they just want to find something to do to occupy their time and we have to keep that in our head as

Well when it comes to what has gone on Backstage in regards to the Rock being involved in Wrestlemania 40 plans it was said in the wrestling Observer newsletter that there is said to be far more behind the scenes that hasn’t come out but given the timing can’t be talked

About now but Johnson over the weekend said it was best to be out of The reigns match put Cody in which by this point everyone can see it by then it was Johnson who then pitched the heel turn and he did Pitch the idea of the Reigns

And Rock versus rhods and Rollins match for night one so that was his idea if that is how it turns out going over initial plans for the Wrestlemania 40 situation with with Cody rhods and the bloodline ringside news wrote that according to Dave malzer on the wrestling Observer newsletter it was

Noted that Triple H worked behind the scenes to retain Cody rhods Meltzer suggested that Triple H had an initial idea for an injury angle on the February 2nd Smackdown where the bloodline would attack Cody rhods the plan was for Reigns versus The Rock to be announced for Wrestlemania during the kickoff

Event but rhods would make a comeback the belief is that Cody rhods was never meant to be screwed and would still have his match against Reigns at some point it further added that the plans changed due to CM Punk getting injured and Rollins requiring an opponent for Wrestlemania Meltzer mentioned that WWE

Opted not to have reigns involved in an angle to injure roads as it would make no sense to then have Rollins face roads in a match WWE didn’t want Reigns doing the angle to injure roads since if they did that angle it would make no sense to do Rollins versus roads

Revealing how it has been training at the WWE performance center former aew TBS Champion Jade Cargill told Denise Salo it’s been great I’d learn the differences and moves that I can do and can’t do the small difference in the aprons difference in the ropes and things of that sort it wasn’t that much

Of a change right now I’m just working on redefining who I am they don’t want me to change anything about me they believe if it’s not broke don’t fix it they want me to be the best that I can be so they want me to be myself what you

See what I’m doing with these promos everything I’m doing it’s me it’s literally just me and they want me to just be me and go out there the coaches are so amazing they want to see me do well they want to see me Excel they’ll

Put me to the side if they see something that is something I need to work on and critique no issues at all addressing the injury his brother Jeff Hardy suffered during the recent match in aew against Samy gavara Mt Hardy noted on his extreme Life podcast it

Looks like the Sami gavara Hardy curse is real and it lives on we thought it ended in 2020 but it picked right back up in February 2024 they were having a hell of a match it’s going to air on rampage tonight there’s a point where Sammy does a move and his knee catches

Jeff in the face it definitely rocked Jeff and Jeff for sure has a broken nose that’s all we really know they’re still going to have him undergo some more testing to find out what his total injury is or would be but right now at a minimum it’s a broken nose we traveled

Together we were on the same flight and we flew home he was in great spirits it’s funny because he’s never broken his nose before which is insane to think about most pro wrestlers breaking your nose is a pretty standard thing it happens at some point especially if you’ve wrestled for three decades like

We have I felt so bad for him because he had a nice nose and now it’s all crooked and Jimmy like mine is now so welcome to the broken nose Club brother taking credit for Cody rhods choosing to challenge Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 40 Drew McIntyre recalled his and Cody’s interaction from Monday

Night Raw saying this to the West sport what I tried to say on Monday it was I tell the truth all the time not lied once you’d get selfish Seth who was trying to get Cody to fight him and nobody wanted that match selfish Cody promised he’d finish the story made a

Video game about it wouldn’t stop saying it for 2 years and went you know what maybe I’ll fight Seth and I’m like you idiot that’s not the plan you promised everybody this and I was the people’s executioner I beat him up then he made the right choice all I’ve ever done is

Tell the truth all I’ve ever done is did what needed to be done like smash people that are bad even if you don’t see it on screen and they got a big smile on the screen back stage I know who’s bad backstage I am the people’s executioner I do what’s right for the

People falling or sustaining an injury during the tapings for NXT shots he has broken her silence on X writing I don’t have much to say right now other than I am devastated it’s heartbreaking to be missing my elimination chamber opportunity tonight but I just wanted to wish wish all the women competing good

Luck I’ll open up more about how I’m feeling and my injury later touching on the deal between aw and cmll Dave Meltzer said in the wrestling Observer newsletter as noted before the deal with cmll is that on any television show that their talent appears on no other Mexican wrestlers

Can appear it doesn’t matter if they work for for AAA or not or did in the past it’s no other Mexican wrestlers can appear some of the prior Mexican Talent is mad that Tony K agreed to those terms noting that triaa never made a demand like that for aew to not feature cmll

Talent even though they were Waring in Mexico we do know at the start that Tony Khan’s Vision was to work with everyone and in the early days cmll didn’t allow its talent to go there because they were working with triaa and New Japan didn’t work with them under Herold Mee was

Noted that Penta and Phoenix were in a ew from day one in particular and the feeling it’s disrespectful to them that there would be shows including perhaps multiple pay-per-views this year including any pay-per-view anyone from cmll is booked on that they couldn’t even be allowed on the show previously

It was just forbidden door there was an incident with penta coming off the Jericho Cruise where he stayed for Dynamite as he was under the belief he was booked on and was there only to find out that he couldn’t appear on the show because they had booked cmll guys for

Both Dy DN it and Rampage at a track event Bobby lashley’s 13-year-old daughter can be seen winning a race there she goes there she [Applause] goes they Naomi go Naomi she’s [Applause] Celebrating one year of sobriety aew star Mike Santana posted this 2x a year ago today was the day I hit my Rock Bottom the day that I realized it was time to turn around and face those demons that have ran from for years the day that I made the decision to change

Or I was going to lose my life my family my career and everything I worked so hard to build it was the day that I decided to finally take care of myself after years of just taking care of others I checked myself into rehab and I

Can tell you here and now that it was truly the greatest and hardest decision I’ve ever made in my life I learned more about myself in those 30 days than in my lifetime I learned to finally let go of the pain and Trauma I carried around for

So long it taught me to genuinely love myself to live and not just exist along with so many other great things I also say that my injury was God’s greatest gift to me because that time is what gave me and made me who I am today I can

Go on and on about my sobriety Journey because it’s been exactly that and maybe one day I’ll open up more about it but I just want to take the time to appre appreciate this accomplishment I actually struggled a bit with sharing this with the world as it was something

I dealt with in private and away from everyone but if I can help give strength and hope to someone else with my story and journey then so be it we’re taught that what helps us is giving away the gift that was so freely given to us so

That’s what I’ll do whenever I can I want to say thank you to God and my father for continuing to guide me my amazing family for sticking by me and always seeing the light that I carried in inside even through all the darkness and all those who offered their support

During those dark times much love to you all # a day at a time # recovery # thanful giving praise to the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns the world heavyweight title holder Seth Rollins told Cam Hayward on not just foot football Roman Reigns is one of the

Greatest to ever do it I’ll say nice things about him he’s my brother we came up together he’s one of the greatest to ever do it I don’t always agree with him but he is one of the greatest to ever do it no doubt speaking about how he handles his

Ventures outside of aew such as the ones in the NFL and the Premier League Tony Khan told Payne and Pendergast every day is different you’re working in the different sports you have to devote your attention differently throughout the season but really there’s no offseason in wrestling wrestling’s year round and

There is off Seasons to some extent in the NFL and the Premier League but that’s also scouting time that’s Valuable Player Personnel time of course particularly in my role at Fulham as the sporting director there’s really no time off in anything we do and I just love working in football and wrestling it’s

Super Bowl game and it was said that she’s been training very hard for her return Brit wasn’t believed to have been cleared yet but the indications were that it shouldn’t be that long staying on the topic of returns to pro wrestling this was said regarding the master of the 619 after he underwent
