Brock Lesnar's WrestleMania match revealed?, Austin Aries signing with WWE soon.

According to the latest talks former TNA World Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries is very close to signing a WWE Deal.

The rumours started hitting hard after Aries didn't take part in the recent Impact tapings. It's notable that WrestlingInc reported that TNA is once again offering stable contracts for their top wrestlers.

Also PWinsider noted that Aries was at Pittsburgh, PA this week. Possibly for the medical testing WWE does before signing them.

Updates on Brock Lesnar's WrestleMania match

According to PWinsider there is a serious talk going on in WWE to do a Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman match at Wrestlemania.

The way WWE decided to end the last Raw is also seen as a sign of things to come. The Wyatt Family Family stood tall after beating Lesnar at the end of Raw.

For the rest of the Wyatts, the plan is to do a separate match. They will be fighting Tommy Dreamer and The Dudley Boyz at Mania.

Daniel Bryan Returning soon?, TNA World title change

Tonight's Impact Wrestling Saw a World Title Change happening. Former WWE Star Matt Hardy defeated Ethan Carter III for the World title.

What's notable is that Hardy turned heel to win this championship. He teamed up with Tyrus who was on EC3's side first to defeat him.

It's Hardy's 2nd reign as a World Champion in TNA. Both men have been fueding over the title since last year.

Daniel Bryan headed for Medical testing

What could be the sign of good things to come for WWE Fans, PWinsider is noting that Bryan is scheduled to be in Pittsburgh, PA later this week.

It's worth notable that it's the home place of WWE's head doctor of wellness testing Dr. Joseph Maroon. There is no confirmation yet on if the both will meet but it's most likely to happen.

The rumour is up in the air from sometimes now that Daniel Bryan has been cleared to compete by other doctors but WWE's medical staff is holding him back for some reason.

But now WWE has to deal with a Wrestlemania season without most of their top stars. so it's very likely that WWE wants the star power of Daniel Bryan back in WWE even if it's only for a non Wrestling role.

Two new title matches announced for Royal Rumble

As expected tonight's Raw was all about building the upcoming Royal Rumble ppv with two new championship matches and new obstacles for Roman Reigns into his road to Wrestlemania.

First of all it was announced that Kalisto will get his rematch for the United States championship in the ppv. However it's highly unlikely that WWE creatives will let the title change happen 3rd time in 2 weeks.

Also The New Day will defend their Tag Team Championship against The Usos. A Divas title match is also expected to be added but hasn't been announced yet.

It was also revealed Roman Reigns who will be defending his World Heavyweight championship into the Royal Rumble will be entering the Rumble on #1 spot.

As if this wasn't enough for Reigns to handle, mr. McMahon decided that Roman will have to go through a handicap tag match against Sheamus, King Barrett, Rusev and WWE United States Champion Alberto Del Rio in Smackdown before reaching the Rumble.

Big Brock Lesnar segment planned for Raw, Finn Balor responds to Bullet Club rumours

As noted before there are lots of rumours going on about a 'Bullet Club' reunion on WWE as the 'Balor Club'.

WWE Champion Finn Balor recently addressed this rumour after his match against Semi Zayn in a WWE Live Event.

Balor said that he and his band created a club four years ago but it's not about what he is creating. It's about what every one backstage at NXT is creating.

Whatever does that mean is still not clear. Rumours of Balor Club emerging at Royal Rumble this Sunday are running wild. We'll keep you updated on this situation.

Big Brock Lesnar Segment planned for Raw

As we noted before Brock Lesnar will be featuring on tonight's episode of Monday night Raw. Making this mix more exciting WWE announced that Brock along with his Advocate Paul Heyman will be joining the 'Highlight Real' with Chris Jerricho:

Brock Lesnar has takenRoman Reignsto Suplex City before, but The Big Dog's brutal encounter with The Beast Incarnate on Raw last week was painful for multiple reasons.

Already facing an uphill battle by having to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against29 Superstars in the 2016Royal RumbleMatch, Reigns now also finds himself in the crosshairs of The Anomaly, a monster who will stop at nothing to ascend to the top of the sports-entertainment food chain. Whatever strategy Reigns had for this near-impossible title defense just went right out the window.

Following that savage display of aggression, Lesnar will appear on Chris Jericho's "The Highlight Reel" alongside Paul Heyman. What questions will Y2J have for The Beast and his calculating advocate? No matter what happens, The Big Dog will be watching. Believe that."

Both Paul Heyman and Jericho are considered one of the best mic workers in the business. And when they both share the ring at the same time then it's going to be worth watching.

Former World Champion removed from Royal Rumble, miss management at WWE Live Event

There was a management problem during yesterday's WWE Live Event in matinee in Chicago. The show started one hour later then schedule.

Top WWE Chamoion turns heel?, New star debuts at WWE India tour

WWE Live Event in India was full of fun and was well received by Indian wrestling fans who were waiting for this from years.

There were lots of high points in the event. One such moment was the debut of india's Satender Singh who was dubbed as 'Jeet Rama' in the show.

Also WWE Diva Summer Rae wrestled her first match since last July in the live event. She lost to Divas Champion Charlotte and acted as a face.

Finn Balor turns heel?

In a recent NXT Live event NXT Champion Finn Balor defeated Semi Zayn for the NXT Championship. The interesting point of this match was that the former Price Devitt worked as a heel in the match.

It's notable that WWE applied for the 'Balor Club' trademark in the start of this month. It's believed to be used as the WWE's version of 'Bullet Club'.

For those who don't know Bullet Club is a legendary stable mainly seen on NJPW in Japan. Before coming to WWE Balor was a active member of that Club.

Backstage updates on WrestleMania 32

There is no news on how they are going to handle Brock Lesnar or the Undertaker.

The original plans for taker was to go one on one with John Cena before Cena got injured. There were no backup plans made because no buddy expected Cena to get injured.

WWE releasing Daniel Bryan next Monday?

Making a huge impact on IWC wrestling reporter Scott Keith released a anonymous email sent to him which says that it comes from a WWE Staff member.

The email claimed a totally wild announcement that WWE will be releasing former World Champion Daniel Bryan next Monday.

It's notable that Keith is the same reporter who broke the news about John Cena taking time off 2 months ago. That's why this story was picked up very quickly.

Many big online sites like Whatculture wrote a article on this email. The email reads something like this:

“I work in WWE HR. I’m not high up the to tem pole by any means though. So on Friday one of myco-workers had to process a release – and that release was for Daniel Bryan.

Monday, January 18th is the date that is listed for when the deal is processed. Not sure exactly why – my coworker was very quiet about the whole thing other than letting a few people know.

And to be honest she didn’t let me know – I’m not in her inner circle. I just overheard her telling someone else and she was in shock.

Not sure why it’s a week away or anything like that as our usual releases are dated that very day. She seemed shocked by it all.”

This story gone viral in just hours. It started to gain so much attention that WWE Management had to contact both Whatculture and WrestlingInc and tell them that it's just a rumour and there is no truth in this.

This proved another time that Internet rumours are one of the most insane things in today's world. It's not long ago that a story floated about Bryan that he was being retired from wrestling. The story went viral and Bryan himself had to clear on his twitter that he was not being retired.

Brock Lesnar added to upcoming WWE shows, WWE Diva reveals injury

WWE Diva Paige hasn't been seen in the WWE TV in recent shows. She last competed in 2015. She revealed in a latest interview that she has suffered a concussion.

She said that it's not very bad and she will be back in the ring soon:

"WWE has been absolutely great with the wellness program and wanting to make sure I'm back on my feet and completely healthy before getting back in the ring again,

I'm losing my mind because I'm not at work right now, so it's been a few straight weeks of not leaving the house. I do go to the PC and get back in the ring there and see the doctors to make sure I'm a good kid and taking as much ImPACT tests as I possibly can.

"I hope to get back in the ring soon. It's just a slight concussion. No big deal. Not a crazy one, but WWE is obviously very protective of their talent. I'm like, 'I'm fine. I promise.' They're like, 'No, we have to make sure you are 100 percent.' They are like parents."

Brock Lesnar announced for more WWE Shows

Brock Lesnar has been added to the active participants for next week's Raw. He will also be appearing on Next week's Smackdown.

Brock is currently the only realible big star left in WWE's roster who is not injured. That means we are going to see lots of Paul Heyman appearances with his client in upcoming weeks.

Big title match announced for Royal Rumble, Title Change takes place at Smackdown

Breaking the 2-3 weeks myth that WWE creatives are really caring about story lines again, we saw a big title change in this week's episode of Smackdown.

(Spoiler) WWE Superstar Kalisto lost his newly won WWE United States Championship to Alberto Del Rio.

It's notable that Kalisto won the championship on this past Raw. That makes his championship reign just 24 hours long. King Barret was in the ring side with Del Rio to help him win the title.

Also Kevin Owens accepted the challenge of Dean Ambrose for a 'Last Man Standing' match at Royal Rumble.

The match will be contested for the Intercontinental Championship. This is Owen's third title shot since losing the title to Ambrose.

Biggest Royal Rumble entrance revealed, big Title match announced for Smackdown

Lots of interesting developments were made on tonight's episode of WWE Raw. Along with a title match which will surely be a contestant of WTF moment Slammy of 2016.

First of all the biggest upset in recent months Kalisto defeated United States Champion Alberto Del Rio for US title.

While I do really like Kalisto, that makes the title less relevant as Alberto just won it 2 months ago. It means that we now have all face champions which Vince doesn't really like. That means we'll gonna be seeing another title change very soon.

After this it was announced that Alberto will be cashing in his rematch clause in tomorrow's Smackdown. Several Other matches were also announced for the show:

* The Dudley Boyz vs. The Wyatt Family in a Tables Match

*Neville and WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose vs. Sheamus and Kevin Owens

*Alberto Del Rio vs. WWE United States Champion Kalisto

Also Brock Lesnar made his anticipated return and made his claim on the current World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns after giving him an F-5.

While he certainly didn't announced his entrance in the Rumble by himself, Michael Cole made it for him saying that he thinks Brock is entering the Rumble.

Former TNA star works on NXT

WWE NXT is becoming crazy enough with all those indie signings lately. They are also breaking all the barriers WWE is long known for. Previously a WWE appearance for a former TNA star was nothing more than a big mostly impossible dream.

But now after the signings of Samoa Joe and Aj Styles (reportedly) a WWE run for previous TNA talents is becoming just another goal that can be conquered.

The latest installment of this came yesterday on NXT tapings when former TNA Knockout Santana Garrett was brought in for a match. She faced the new indie signing Asuka. The match will be aired on February 3rd.

Also it's being reported that WWE has finally signed indie star Tommaso Ciampa. Speculations of his signings were being made from quite sometimes.

Brock Lesnar to appear on upcoming ppv, Former World champion turning heel?

Apparently WWE has decided that Dolph Ziggler should return to his roots of being the "heel ziggler" which his twitter profile says.

(Spoiler) Ziggler teamed up for a 8-men tag match with Goldust, R-Truth and Neville to defeat The New Day and The Miz on this week's Smackdown.

Ziggler picked up the victory for his team. However after the match he decided to superkick his team mate R Truth and then went backstage with a heelish look on his face. It will be interesting to see how this scenario works out in future.

Brock Lesnar to appear on WWE ppv

It's never bad to see Brock Lesnar make his way out of the stage into the ring. And when you get that in a ppv, then expectations go way much higher.

Brock Lesnar is currently being advertised for WWE Fastlane ppv locally. It's not known if he will be wrestling at the show or will be making a non wrestling appearance.

Both ways it's going to be a important show from storyline prospective for Wrestlemania. And it's surely going to be fun to watch.

Top WWE star injured: biggest shock for WWE of this Wrestlemania season?

Just when you thought this Wrestlemania season can not get any hard for WWE after having so many stars injured and having Roman Reigns to be booked as a world champion...John Cena got injured.

Yup that's right the biggest shock for WWE this Wrestlemania season was revealed to fans via a tweet. Cena tweeted that he will be having a shoulder surgery:

Rather upside down start to 2016 as tomorrow I will head to Birmingham for shoulder surgery. Life's full of set backs but #nevergiveup
—John Cena (@JohnCena) January 7, 2016

PWInsider has reported that John is suffering from a torn rotator cuff. How he suffered the injury is still a mystery. But it's certain that he will be missing WrestleMania this year.

This leaves big, very big spot for WWE booking staff which now needs to be filled anyhow. However, whatever decision they make, the absence of The Leader of Cenation is surly going to hurt WWE very bad.

WWE is planning big debuts for Royal Rumble?

Rumours are running wild since the news broke that WWE has signed four of the top NJPW stars including AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows.

Many fans are believing that all or some of these stars can make a surprise appearance at Royal Rumble event. Dave Meltzar also reported that WWE is planning big surprise for the event.

However the rumours are getting more hard to believe as we are getting new details on the situation. First of all PWInsider is reporting that WWE has not yet signed any of these superstars officially.

The current official status is that WWE is in negotiation with all four of these stars. It's almost confirmed that WWE will be signing these stars as they are being mentioned at the official WWE website, the question only remains of when.

The first two AJ Styles and Doc Gallows can still appear at Royal Rumble as their contract is over with NJPW and they are free now. It was also noted that the money offered to AJ for the contract is way too high for a NXT wrestler. That means most likely he will be a main roster player.

However the other two stars Shinsuke Nakamura and Karl Anderson are still under the contract with NJPW, with Nakamura being their current  Intercontinental Champion. That means they will have to wait till their contract expires. They are bound with their contract so they can not make a Royal Rumble appearance even if it's for one night only.

Huge tifle match announced for Royal Rumble, WWE sings the best Wrestler in the World


In a very shocking portion of news F4Wonline is reporting that WWE has signed a contract with the former TNA World Champion AJ Styles.

Styles is considered the pound to pound best wrestler in the world in the current active wrestlers. WWE has also signed NJPW stars Doc Gallows, Karl Anderson and current IWGP Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura.

AJ is supposed to come to WWE soon but Gallows and Anderson are most likely to move with the WWE roster after their dates end with NJPW. Nakamura is expected to stay a little more longer as he will have to drop his title.


Big Title Match announced for Royal Rumble


It was announced on tonight's Raw by the WWE Chairman mr. McMahon that the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns will have to defend his title in the Royal Rumble match itself.
The announcement was made after Roman retained his World title against Sheamus in a chaotic match. However the decision is already being criticised by many WWE fans.

Roman has just won the WWE Title and is not expected to lose it so early. Specially when the last champion Sheamus lost it within a month of winning.

According to the Fans that makes Royal Rumble which is one of the most unpredective event of the year, a very predictive match which is as bad as another Big Show vs. Roman Reigns match at Rumble.

Former World Champion returns on Raw, big title match announced for Smackdown
