Curtis Axel has been arrested for DUI after causing an auto accident in a McDonald’s drive-thru.
According to a former WWE writer, WWE almost launched a revival of the nWo during the Thunderdome era, and it was aborted because the original nWo member (probably Kevin Nash) who was going to manage them caught covid before the taping.
The lineup was going to consist of - get this - Sheamus, Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Lars Sullivan.
“Hey, let’s get paranoia heat by making them all foreigners!:”
Jacob Fafu and Sol Ruca have apparently gotten hurt ahead of Sunday’s title matches at Clash in Italy.
The Original El Grande Americano lost to El Grande Americano last night, and unmasked. OMG it was Chad Gable the whole time!
It’s funny how the four guys involved in this angle are more over now pretending to be luchas than they ever were with their original gimmicks.
Four?! You mean six.
Chad Gable and the Creed Brothers.
Ludwig Kaiser and the New Catch Republic.
So that’s where the Creed brothers went. I forgot about them.
Liv Morgan suffered a leg injury last night during a Women’s World Championship defense in Birmingham, England.

He did it! Sami Zayn is the WWE Champion!
Brock Lesnar came back and low-blowed and F5’d Oba.
It’ll be Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell at SummerSlam. Femi will forgo his title shot for now instead of taking advantage of the fact that SummerSlam is two nights.
Not that I would like Oba’s chances of winning a world title against Roman or Sami the night after facing Brock inside Hell in a Cell. Jesus, he’s not Superman.
Enzo “Consensual Penis” Amore and Colin Cassidy are reportedly returning to WWE.
It’s being reported that Sheamus will leave WWE at the natural conclusion of his current contract, whenever that is.
He first joined WWE’s developmental system in 2007, got to the main roster in 2009, and beat John Cena for the WWE Championship in a tables match later that year.
I can almost guarantee TKO tried to get him to agree to an insultingly large pay cut as part of their ongoing endeavor to drain every last cent out of the company before selling off its withered husk to further enrich themselves, and he said “I’ll take my chances in AEW, fella.”
It’s a shameful thing they’ve lost their head. ![]()
He owns the ring name “Sheamus O’Shaunessy” just like Christian owns “Christian Cage”, so he’d even be able to keep using it.
Apparently Sheamus is dealing with spinal stenosis. At 48 years old, he just might be calling it a career, especially if he handled his money decently. But yeah, he was probably low-balled and might have just said no, though I would think TKO might have simply booted him in that situation.
Too many limes! Too many limes!
I mean, if he wants One Last Run, he could surely do just as well in AEW as Edge and Christian and Jericho and Jeff Jarrett and Sting and Daniel Bryan have done. Tony Khan clearly respects the veterans he brings in and knows how to book them as formidable competitors without making the entire show revolve around them at the expense of the younger generation like Vince often did, and he doesn’t bring people in just to bury them like Vince did either.
And, because we can’t have nice things, GUNTHER took out Cody Rhodes before his title rematch at last night’s Raw in Chicago, allowing Old Man Punk to take his place and beat Sami Zayn for the belt.
Meanwhile in AEW, Kenny Omega has won the world championship from MJF, setting up Omega vs. Will Ospreay for the title in the main event of All In.
