That’s makes the opening lines of “Judas” that much seedier, like it could have been directed at Kylie Rae.
You are beautiful on the inside
You are innocence personified
And I will drag you down and sell you out
Run away
The song came out in 2017, so not unless he has even more skeletons in his closet. Right now it’s just rumors and neither Jericho or Rae have commented publicly, but I’m going to think a lot less of him if it turns out to be true.
(Also, apparently his wife was a 1/6 rioter, so there’s a distinct possibility that Jericho is just an asshole.)
Exactly. It was started by someone having a (one-sided) Twitter feud with Jericho (as Jericho was going back-and-forth with Stephen P New) and a single heart emoji from Kylie Rae. There is a vast chasm from being a married creep trying to get laid and Harvey Weinstein, a serial rapist. I’m not going to defend Jericho in the slightest if there are actual allegations, but right now we just have innuendo. Dirt sheets need continuous content, the dirtier the better, facts be damned.
Welp, Dwayne’s back.
At TNA Hard to Kill, Nic Nemeth, formerly known as Dolph Ziggler, attacked the new TNA World Champion, Moose, after his match.
Nemeth’s first match with the company will be taped today.
Nemeth was also at Wrestle Kingdom. He showed up in the audience during the match for the Global Championship, then got in David Finlay’s face and attacked him after Finlay won the match.
Seems like attacking new champs after their match is kinda his thing now.
Kazuchika Okada is leaving NJPW.
There’s been speculation for some time that this would be coming - he potentially stands to make a lot more money in America than he can in Japan, and at 36 he’s still in his prime and could potentially have a great run in WWE or AEW. (Hopefully the latter so we can get the rubber match on his feud with Bryan.)
Pete Dunne got his name back!
Vince’s obsession with calling people up from NXT only to change their name and gimmick and squander their credibility was one of the most frustrating aspects of his final years booking the company. Maybe now WALTER can have his name back so Hunter can erase the stink of the old man accidentally naming him after a Nazi submarine commander.
At least that’s not as bad as WCW naming Jeep Swenson “The Final Solution.”
Seth Rollins suffered an MCL injury, apparently, during his match last week with Jinder Mahal, and he’ll discuss his status and the status of the World Heavyweight Championship on Monday. He may have to vacate.
Still worse than when Vince renamed Kenzo Suzuki to “Hirohito”.
Which would be the second time Rollins has had to drop the world title due to injury.
Hopefully when he gets back they can move him away from this dumbass gimmick he’s had for the past year. He looks like a cross between the Once-ler from that crappy CGI version of The Lorax and the Riddler’s extremely flamboyant nephew.

CM Punk and Cody Rhodes IN THE RING TOGETHER OMG!!!
Oh, not a match. Gosh, they sure fooled me.
Anyhoo, I was curious to see if WWE would allow them to mention the fact they were in AEW prior to returning to the promised land. Hah. Like it never happened. They even defanged Punk’s infamous Pipe Bomb promo by having Cody say how it inspired him. How could he keep a straight face? and Punk putting over Dusty as a father figure, even though I don’t remember their tenures overlapping with any degree of significance.
I realize it’s setting up a future storyline, but there wasn’t nearly as much heat between the two as the scriptwriters sanitized it too much. Huge nothingburger. C’mon, at least make an oblique hint, like “Remember, we were both enticed to return to the ring by an outsider, and ultimately neither one of us would let him call the shots.” You know, because Punk got FIRED, whereas Cody left on his own accord, making him look more professional? They could least have referred to their shared past as their turn in the “independent scene”, like when the announcers get vague in putting over a star’s non-WWE credentials.
Even in the Triple H/UFC era, WWE’s not gonna give free publicity to their biggest competitor. (For that matter, does UFC acknowledge on camera when its fighters have competed in Bellator?)
as an aside … i thought bellator was the ufc minor league these days as they had the same owner …
Seth Rollins did not vacate the World Title. He’s promised to make it to WrestleMania.
Speaking of WrestleMania, WWE 2K24 will have a 40 Years of WrestleMania mode. I gotta get that.
WWE has signed a five-year deal to bring Monday Night RAW to Netflix starting in January 2025.
I liked him as Butch. Pete’s a fantastic wrestler, but he’s in the WWE where that hardly counts. As Butch initially he was doing a fantastic Ernest T. Bass impression, much more interesting than him as a mid-card jobber.
They do?
