For whatever reason WM41 was supposed to be announced at this years event. The video package to announce it and everything was done weeks before Mania. It was delayed for some reason till after Mania with talk being RAW after mania or within this month but we’re almost in May. Original it was possible Minneapolis MN would get it. Now speculation and rumors it’s not being there.
Very very strange for WWE to withhold this as they love to build hype for next mania right away. Very out of character of them. Something is going on. What I do tl

There's a possibility they are worried about an ongoing battle between the city and Uber/Lyft over driver pay. The rideshare companies are threatening to leave Minneapolis over it.
Seems like something that would figure itself out by then, though.

Tama Tonga, Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa were in Connecticut last week for WWE at the company HQ.
There had been rumblings in the company last week that Fatu would debut shortly, but those discussions soon quieted.

Sources close to the situation have confirmed to WrestlePurists that MJF has undergone surgery on his left shoulder.
MJF was originally aiming for a March return and met with Tony Khan in Boston to discuss creative plans.
The injuries to MJF and Adam Cole have dramatically affected creative plans for MJF vs Undisputed Kingdom feud. Max was looking to wrap the program up.
There is no timetable for his return.

11 years ago today, one of the most influential and important moments in modern wrestling happened.
Prince Devitt aka Finn Balor, Bad Luck Fale, Karl Anderson and Tama Tonga jump Hiroshi Tanahashi.
The Bullet Club was formed and the rest, as they say, is history.

10 years ago today, May 3, 2014, AJ Styles won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship from Kazuchika Okada at NJPW “Wrestling Dontaku”, 5 months after leaving TNA Wrestling after 12 years in the company.
Styles revealed in a 2018 interview that he didn’t want to cut ties with TNA, but the final contract they offered him was for more dates and almost a 60% cut in pay.
Styles would go on to win the title one more time before making the jump to WWE in January of 2016.

Some news/not news. For all future considerations for Wrestlemania's will be mainly based on from how much WWE can get from rights fees from whichever city wants Mania as well as whichever government bids the most for it.

This is the first time the Undisputed Title has been defended in a match that has had ZERO interference since the June 17, 2022 episode of SmackDown, where Roman Reigns defended against Matt Riddle without interference.
Nearly two years. Wow.

The more things change the more they stay the same. WWE too worried and outside company guy they signed will be too good to what they want to push. Fatu is imho the best skilled talent in the Samoan Dynasty today.
According to WrestleVotes on twitter, WWE is worried about the possibility of Jacob Fatu outshining Solo Sikoa since WWE is trying to portray Sikoa as the "main force" of The Bloodline.
==========
I mean, unless they absolutely nerf Fatu, which they shouldn't, then there's no way Fatu doesn't outshine Sikoa.

WWE is known for watering down talent. For yrs they did this with Cena as their top guy more recently Reigns. They didn’t want better in ring talent or promo guys outshining who they wanted to push. WWE just wanted these other talents to say they have them and hope destroy wrestling elsewhere to be the only show in town.
They tried to water down Punk, Danielson but they outshined. Ricochet, Mox, mia Yim, Balor, Claudio, ReDragon, Kenta, Sami Callahan to name a few they watered down.
Sounds like things haven’t changed on this front of we want WWE people more over then people from other companies

So happy. I really fell in love with this team in NxTUK didn’t get WTF they were doing with them in NxT.
EXCLUSIVE: Grizzled Young Veterans feel they made the right decision by leaving WWE.
"We decided just before Stand & Deliver last year that we’ll tidy up the storyline at Stand & Deliver because at that point everything’s done. Then we would go and talk to the office and have conversations about us wanting to leave. We did the match and both myself and Zack were on the ramp looking back at the ring. At that point, myself anyway, I was genuinely ready to move on now… As a whole, WWE are doing great business and it’s a great place to be. It wasn’t a great place for us. We were being optimised to help the younger talent get ready because there was an influx of brand new wrestlers from 2.0 that really didn’t know anything about wrestling. We used to own a wrestling school so we could actually articulate things as well. It was a nice compliment that they could see that in us and they trusted us to get people essentially prepared for a main roster run. On the flip side, we were kind of locked in a situation where we couldn’t progress and we could see that. So we got to a point where we’re still grizzled, young, but we’re only young for so long and it was one of those times where it was now or never, essentially. If we don’t do this now, when is it happening?", said James Drake.
Zack Gibson added, "It was a big decision to make, it wasn’t something that was made overnight. There was no one big thing that made us do it. It was more of a combination of a lot of things that came together…The easiest way that we have found to describe it is in a nutshell, WWE’s stock is going up and up and up but our personal stock at the time was going down. Regardless of where their stock was going, obviously we are our own business. We looked at ourselves and noticed that our stock was going down so we did something about it. Now, six months out, our stock is going up again so we made the right decision."

During AEW Dynamite last night, Saraya called out a couple of men on camera for being creeps.
Later on at the same taping, one of the men would not stop harassing Skye Blue with inappropriate comments. As soon as the match was over, Skye Blue immediately left the stage area. Uncomfortable.
Aubrey Edwards called for security to get rid of the gentleman but he started to fight and fuss.
All this in front of his own child.
The two incidents were seperate but fans there said the lower bowl crowd was terrible last night. Saraya tried to get the camera guy to put the clown she dealt with on TV to expose him and embarass.
Honestly they should hire bully Ray for security at this point. He knows how to handle these turds disrespecting females
More on this the internet and IWC suck sometimes
Last night during the ROH tapings, some horrible waste of a dad was yelling vulgar stuff at Skye Blue during the ROH tapings. Guy had a kid with him apparently. He ended up getting kicked out after Blue's match. Then some random on twitter talked about how women in wrestling shouldn't show so much skin. So Chelsea Green clapped back at the person.
